Introduction:
Hello, Hayasaka here. I
want to introduce a design which I have been working on for
the past few months. I’ve been a lurker within the community
for quite some time now and have decided to create a custom
board of my own. The main goal of this design was to have
something unique while keeping a classy aesthetic. This is
the result.
**Specifications:
**8 degree typing angle.
18mm
front height
F13 TKL layout with ISO and tsangan
support.
ESD protection through the C3 Unified
Daughterboard
Centred USB-C
Adhesive Poron Gasket
mount
OR
Sandwich O-Ring top mount (Subject to
change to just be top mounted)
VIA compatibility
Hot-swap
has now been added, standard ANSI layout.
PCB is
designed by me, south-facing and will not have any RGB or
LED support.
Planned Materials:
Aluminium 6063
(Top and Bottom)
Stainless Steel 303, Mirror Finish
(Weight and Midsection)
Ideal target price: $450 -
$550
GB Date: TBD
Vendors: TBD
Length:
357mm
Width: 136mm
Height (Highest Point):
36.6mm
Top Bezel: 10mm
Side Bezels: 4mm
Bottom
Bezel: 6mm
**Design Background:
**My two main
focus points is the classy theme and side profiles. I had to
pick a theme which enveloped the two notions. The theme I
came up with was a piano. Piano’s are keyboards themselves
so calling my design “piano” wouldn’t suffice. Taking from
the theme’s origins in Italy, a piano is called “fortepiano”
or “pianoforte”. After discussion with a few friends
pianoforte was a better fit name, and to make it simpler, I
stuck with the musical notations of piano and forte which
results to: pf.
More
The original design was a 65% with a mid-right blocker.
(The blocker exists in this position cause I wanted
the 3 switches but I use the NK65 Milkshake and every time I
want to skip 5 seconds of a YouTube video it either ends the
video or scrolls me down to the bottom of the page. This
implementation is designed to mitigate that.)
During
this design process, there was an influx of 65% boards which
did play a role in my decision to change form factor. The
main reason for the change was upon realising that a
standard ANSI F13 TKL would result in 88 keys, the same as a
piano. Thus, form factor changed.
The piano keys design
above the arrow key cluster is still a hit-or-miss for me.
An implementation from the original design’s blocker, it is
stainless steel. I am completely open to removing it
entirely; changing it to an engraving; SE only, or something
else. Please fill out the IC form if you’d like to see
changes.

Current Weight Design
This is the current weight design. Manufacturer’s
have sent me pictures of the weight as well which can be
seen
here. Details will be addressed in the log below.
Plate & Layouts
The current plan for plate materials will be:
Aluminium, FR4, PC
*Prototypes:
**
Prototypes are currently
finishing up, as there is an additional cost & waste
to creating a new anodization pool for prototypes with
custom colours
(Red, Green, Blue), anodization chips will be used to represent the custom
colours.
An SE proto has also been made, I will make
a decision to proceed on SE’s after I’ve reviewed the
proto.
MOQ will range from 300-500/.
/*subject to change 200-300 in consideration.
Updated Design Renders
The piano engraving on the arrow cluster is no more,
the final rendition will most likely be the letters “pf”
engraved. I have have included Blue and Red as additional
colours as well as Brass as another metal set.
Renders with all colors and metal combos here:
Brass
Stainless Steel
The plate has been adjusted to accommodate
this.
**Collab(s):
**
At the current moment, I
will be working with FJ Laboratories for the PCB production
processes.
