Hello everyone.
Welcome to The Gentoo.
IC Form:
https://forms.gle/Ex38fBavYi5XFcZr9
Inspiration
The Gentoo is a
penguin themed, 65% keyboard that is a clear successor to my
previously released board,
The Adélie. With The Adelie paying homage to my favorite types of
boards, sub 60’s, it excluded the number row. For some, this
was a deal breaker and I can’t say that I blame them.
“Gentoo”
is the name of a different species of penguin and as the
name of this board works two fold: not only is this board
the “Gen 2” of its predecessor, the Gentoo penguin, as you
can see
here, is a slightly larger penguin than the Adélie which I find
aptly describes the relation between this board and the
last.
/two weights are not included, for this render, they are
simply for presentation of both sides./
Board Details
Gasket mount.
6
Degree typing angle.
Side weight accents.
Daughter
board, centered USB.
QMK and VIA compatible
[Bottom/Internal]
Brass Weight.
Approx. 2.33 kg [5.13 lbs] unbuilt
assuming brass plate.
Plate Materials: Aluminum, Brass,
FR4, Carbon Fiber
Options
Case
Color options: E-White, Navy, Forest Green, Black
Base
Weight Configuration [$450]: Sandblasted + Coated Brass
PVD
Weight Upgrade [+$100]: Silver, Graphite
The Adélie
keyboard, at the time of group buy, offered all
configurations with PVD Brass. For the Gentoo, the black and
silver color scheme will remain. As for the other options I
have opted for sand blasted brass as a more neutral element
to mesh better with more keysets.
/*The blue for the
Gentoo is not the same blue as the Adélie.
/*Color
options are only speculated; colors, materials, and finishes
are not final.
Pricing
Likely
very similarly priced to the Adélie which retailed for $550
USD.
Status
The model is
complete, the PCB is in the works. Assembling the vendors
necessary to set a group buy date and begin prototyping.
Layout Options
Group Buy Details
Likely first
come first serve just as the Adélie was run. The amount of
units per region will be determined after vendors are
gathered.
