We’ll
be setting up the product page this weekend and updating the
thread when it’s ready. The kit colors were chosen based on
IC responses. As the PCB is smaller than the switch plate,
all kits will use a blue PCB with white silkscreen. We will
be offering an alternate bottom plate graphic for the green
kits for a small upcharge. As for add-ons and extra parts,
those will be our standard suite of products: MillMax
sockets, extra parts, etc.
Hello again. We have a new
and exciting board to show you guys today. This one posed a
bit of a challenge to us though. We actually created the
layout and finished about 90% of the design before figuring
out the name. It started with a general theme, video games,
but I couldnt find the name that was just right. After a few
days of not really thinking about it, I had an epiphany.
What video game has right angles and bright colors and
constant beeping noises? Thats right, Pac-man. If youve
played the game, youll remember that Pac-man, the
protagonist and titular character, constantly makes waka
waka noises as he moves around the game board.

Test
Weve already got a prototype assembled and ready
to show off, but there are some minor tweaks that need to
happen before were 100% ready to sell this as a product.
Prototype
The layout is a simple one, a couple of 4x6
ortholinear clusters with some space in the middle for a
tasteful cutout design and an optional rotary encoder. There
is an LED strip that is arranged under the cutouts so you
can use them as indicators, a traffic light simulation, or
whatever your heart desires and brain can write into
firmware. This board will be powered by a BlackPill so itll
be USB-C capable out of the box. The bottom row is centered,
but staggered just a little bit because of the central
column. The bottom row works with a 7u spacebar along with
several other layouts shown below.

As with our previous kits, youll need to supply the switches, keycaps, and stabilizers.
There will be a build guide created and published right before fulfillment.
This board will be compatible with QMK, VIA, and VIAL. Once we are happy with the design, we will be posting plate files to our Github.

Thank you for reading through our IC and we cant wait to get this GB started.
