Eros

LINK TO IC FORM
1) Introduction
Hello, and thank you for your time! This is the first design that I have decided to run, and I am very excited about the trajectory of this project thus far. I am enamored by old-school Korean “Kustom” boards and set out to design a classic, top mount TKL with modern amenities. I wanted something a bit more voluptuous than a standard block of metal (I REALLY love curved keyboards). The name Eros naturally sprang to mind one day while working in fusion. I renamed the project a few times, but Eros seemed to stick in the end.
2) Project timeline

    Planned layout:

    For right now, not planning on official ISO support, due to lack of interest, though this board will be compatible with 3rd party PCBs.
    5) Renders
    These renders will better represent the final design as I have made a few aesthetic changes to the board since ordering the first prototype. These were made with the awesome keyboard render kit from Imperfectlink. Please support him! (UPDATED 2/21/22)
