Hello everyone, This is CreateKeebs and this is our 3rd
board that we would like to share with you.
First of
all, thank you very much for your support for the thera75.
As a new team, 1200 units were sold out in 7 days which was
beyond our’s expectation and made us deeply feel everyone’s
enthusiasm.
During the design phase of Glacier80, we
were thinking about what is the goal of the board. Is it a
softer typing experience? Balance? or a deeper sound?
In
the end, we decided to make Glacier80 highlight the original
sound of the switch while achieving a flexy typing
experience. We have also made a journey into new materials,
Mercedes Benz has always been synonymous with high-end
brands, especially its high-end series MAYBACH. MAYBACH’s
beacon is the highlight of the whole series and also a
symbol of nobility, because the material used in this beacon
is Nickel alloy, rather than Alu or ss. The hardness of
nickel is HRC28. Simply speaking, it is harder than
stainless steel. It is precisely because of this hardness
that we rarely see CNC machining workpiece of this material
in daily life, but there is a way to achieve this, that is,
through the integrated forming process of nickel
electroforming. The common MAYBACH and Mercedes-benz beacon
is made of this process

PCB and layout:
The PCB is
1.6mm has flex cuts and leaf-springs. With the last GB, a
lot of people abandoned the Thera75 because it was soldered
only, so for the Glacier80 we also added the hot-swap PCB
option, which can also be used with the PC/POM plates to
achieve a soft typing. Soldered PCBs support ISO, step CAPS,
left shift split, 6.25U and 7U space options; Hot-swap PCB
supports only 7U space with WKL. Both PCBS support
QMK/VIA
Soldered
Hotswap
Appearance:
The keyboard is TKL
with F13, also support WKL. The outline of glacier is set
above the direction area, which emphasizes the theme of this
work – glacier. You can also choose an iceberg themed
keycap, so that the front view of the keeb is more
distinctive.
The side profile of the keyboard is designed with a
270° collision color top and bottom cover. The turning lines
on both sides modify the spreading part of the glacier and
outline the peak of the glacier above the Type-c interface.
This design creates a visual change through the bend of the
hard line, eliminating the heavy look of the side, while the
peak of the glacier breaks the top line, making the top line
simple but not plain.
The bottom of the keyboard is a mirror weight
(electroplated nickel). Here we have a full version of the
iceberg, in keeping with the fact that glaciers are mostly
hidden under water. Similarly, the crest of the glacier
protrudes from the top of the rectangular weight, breaking
up too many parallel lines to give the back a dull look. At
the same time, the glacier part made a 3D visual effect,
breaking the restriction of two-dimensional plane, producing
a sense of 3D layers.
weight, logo and artsian are made
of the same process (nickel and cobalt alloy material) as
the Mercedes-benz Maybach standard, manufactured in a full
vacuum environment. Compared with the traditional PVD
mirror, its mirror part can achieve better gloss and
flawless effect, and is not easy to scratch and more
durable
Breakdown
Structural :
The plateless
design can restore the original sound of the switch to the
maximum extent, gaskets give typing a more soft, therefore,
GLACIER80 is designed with plateless Gasket structure as the
original intention. Poron is still selected as the material
of gasket and bottom foam.
Plate foam is 3.5mm poron is
included to fill the space under the switch when choosing
plateness structure.
The keboard will provide
PC/POM/Poron plates for players to choose from, and the
plates will be slotted.
