Background Info:
The OGR was
originally designed as an entry for the OG Summer
competition on r/customkeyboards in 2019, which it won. It
was originally inspired by various vintage keyboards, but
chiefly the Cherry/NCR G81-3077 for the iconic Cherry nose,
the pronounced seam and the large forehead. It also drew
inspiration from the Cherry G80-0832 for the accented piece
around the keycaps to give it a truly unique look. The name
is a portmanteau of OG Summer and NCR, whose branding on the
aforementioned G81-3077 was also the inspiration for the
retro-styled AKB logo. While the PCB is USB-C compatible,
the port is enclosed deep inside the case and the case parts
gently clamp the cable down to give the aesthetic of a
hard-wired cable.
Also, for those who are interested,
there will be a numpad (OGR-N) available either as an
optional extra or separately.

Pricing isn’t yet finalised, due to the fluctuation of raw aluminium prices but I’m aiming for ≤£440 (
$575 USD) for the OGR, and ≤£200 ($270 USD) for the OGR-N. (+VAT for UK) -
Layout Support:*
Two tops will be available - one for 7u bottom row with dual 0.75u blockers, and one with a single small blocker for 6.25u support.
The OGR-N PCB will have support for regular and southpaw configurations, as well as the option to have a full 1u setup. The plate available will support regular and southpaw layouts, due to its reversible design.
