the space under the PCB.

Push in PVC feet, because we really don’t like the
glue on feet coming off.

Hi, we are a team of two CNC machinists from Latvia
and an industrial designer from Germany. Since the design
and manufacturing comes from the same people, we are very
free to experiment with shapes and materials.
For our
first project we are working on Ferrum. A
mirror polished, stainless steel, 40% keyboard. We chose
stainless steel because, when polished, it gives a very
clear, warm and lasting reflection. In comparison, polished
and anodized aluminium has a rather dull sheen and polished
brass or copper would need a clear coating which will wear
off.
With roughly 1.6kg this keyboard will definitely
stay where you put it. It might not be a portable laptop
extension but it would be a great conversation piece for 40%
afficionados on PC. The angle is 7° and the centre top of a
DSA keycap on bottom row is 28mm high
We are planning
switch plates for plank and plank style ortho PCBs as well
as the Daisy PCB. The 4x4 numpad is an idea for a later
time. Neoprene dampeners are also in planning. Also, we like
the unpolished raw look with all the tooling marks so much.
We are discussing if we should offer an unpolished version.
What do you guys think?
