What Makes This Different?
I’ve been in the
hobby for about a year and a half now, and I’ve never once
seen a wooden, hobby-grade board that isn’t either handmade
or bought from some unnamed company in Asia through
AliExpress, despite wood’s excellent sound characteristics
being well known amongst hobby members.
I sought to
change that, but not just by offering people a keyboard made
of wood, but by offeringtotal sound customizability.
For those unaware, different woods all have their
own unique acoustic characteristic, a characteristic that is
used to great effect by musical instruments. So, why stop at
one sound?
When purchasing Fiodha, everyone will be given the
choice of which wood they would like to be used for the top
piece and the much larger bottom piece.
This allows a
level of sonic customizability that the hobby has never had
easy access to.
Each wood option will be accompanied by
a brief description detailing its acoustic characteristics.
Or, you could ignore that altogether and just get what you
think looks prettiest!
Here are just a few of the
potential wood combinations:
Top: Maple
Bottom: Mahogany
Top: Walnut
Bottom: Alder
Top: Richlite
Bottom: Ash

Vendors:
- TBA
To-Do: - Prototype PCB
- Prototype Case
- Decide on screws manufacturer
- Decide on rubber feet manufacturer
- Decide on wood supplier
- Decide on case manufacturer
- Decide on plate manufacturer
- Determine US order fulfillment process
- Determine International Vendors/order fulfillment process
- Gather Suggestions
- Change design of plate and USB port to accommodate h87c/h88c PCB
- Implement F13 compatibility
- Contact Hineybush about bundling the PCB and keyboard together in the shipment
- Contact Stupidfish about developing foam designs for the board
- Get Final Assembly Renders
- Determine Pricing
- Set Group Buy Date
Changelog/Updates: - IC Launched
- Suggestions gathered
- After hearing from the community and asking a fellow designer, decided it would be best to use the hineybush PCB instead of selling my own, makes the end product much cheaper for everyone
- Finished previous semester of college, finally have the time/energy to work on the board
- Changed the design of the bottom in a way that allows me to use 3-axis CNC milling rather than 4-axis, making the board cheaper to produce as well as more visually distinct
- Implemented alternate top and plate design that has F13
- Altered design to be compatible with hineybush h87c and h88c
