Our First Ergo Layout Kit
Render:
Prototype:
Sand Glass Ergo is an 80% ergonomic layout keyboard
kit design we designed in collaboration with designer
KeepCalm.
I’ve always been hoping to create an ergo
kit, and this is my first attempt.
We name this kit
Sand Glass Ergo for the shape of its top
exterior outline.
Layout
Even though I’ve been
using an Alice-like layout (60% with arrow keys) keyboard
for more than half a year now, I’m less experienced with
ergo layout keyboards in general.
The present layout is
obviously similar to many existing kits, but it is also
personalized to KeepCalm’s and my preferences.
This design isn’t outrageous or exaggerated in any
way.
We hope that it will be a board that most people
can quickly become accustomed to, and that it will be a
board that most people, including me, are willing to use as
a daily driver.
That being said,
Plate &
mounting & Structure
I like the skeleton plate
design that we initially tested on Leaf 65.
Skeleton
plates with improved flexibility will be available on Sand
Glass Ergo.
The PCB will be 1.2mm thick for softer
bottom out with the skeleton plate.
The mounting method is PORON sandwich.
To make
the typing experience as even as possible, both the PCB and
plate have been split into left and right parts.
Wrist
Rest
Although the front of the board is not
particularly high (18mm), I found that a wrist rest is still
necessary for maximum comfort.
Because there is no
compatible wrist rests on the market, the kit includes a
specially developed wrist rest.
The kit was named Sand
Glass also because of the way it looks with the wrist
rest.
Forged Composite is considered as the material for
the wrist rest.
Basic information:
- Typing angle: 8 degree
- Front height: 18mm without the wrist rest
-
Estimated price: 525 USD for the kit with the wrist
rest
Highlights: - 80% Ergo layout
- PORON sandwich + skeleton plate
- No visible screws
To Do: - Collect feedbacks
- Finish the skeleton plate design
