Hi Geekhack, im Que.
(or Que/#7797 on Discord)
I’ve
been fortunate enough to have owned keyboards from many
designers over the years. This has led me to develop very
selective personal preferences. No one was offering the
specific combination of features that I wanted, so I decided
to make my own.
Now I’d like to share a project that is
finally nearing completion.
Eon is a WKL Wedge 60%
All pictures in this post contain the ‘Q4 2021’
prototype.
Main features of the Q4 2021 Prototype include:
6063 Alu Case
Brass Weight
WKL
Wedge
HHKB
Side & Front Bevels + Pwner Lip
6-Degree Typing
Angle
Hiney H60 pcb + USB-C UDB
Low USB-C port
horizontal to desk (Works w/ Lindy)16.5mm-17.5mm Front Height (21.695mm EKH) feat. Noxary Ledge + Officially Licensed
Baion Wave /s (with permission from Baion himself!)
M2
Screws for Case, Plate, Weight, and UDB. One driver required
to assemble the entire board.
Confirmed Plate Mounting Types:
O-Ring, Top

Overview
Eon borrows design
ques from many other boards, going all the way back to the
356mini.
The main focus with this version of the design
was experimentation with internal tolerances and mounting
types.
Exterior aesthetics were a minor consideration
that didn’t stray far beyond ‘wedge with thin bezels’ and as
a result are subject to change in future revisions.
The
mounting options for testing in the Q4 2021 prototype
include: Top Mount, O-Ring Gasket, Isolation Strip Gasket,
Leaf-Spring, Kitchen Sink, etc.
Testing
More
Fit testing after qc went great, likely a result of previous
prototyping that already went into this design. There are
definitely some minor changes required before moving into
production, but I was expecting to have overlooked something
major, or at least for more to have gone wrong. After all,
its ‘Hope for the best, prepare for the worst’ or something
like that, isn’t it?
So far, so good!
Build /#1:
PC Plate, Inks w 205g0, Cherry Clip-ins w BDZ, GMK 9009
Test
a)
O-Ring Mount
Test b)
Top Mount
Please note: Typing tests are not an accurate
representation of what a keyboard will sound like on your
desk.
Apologies for audio only. I don’t have adequate
video recording equipment yet.
Perhaps ill have to
arrange for a proto to be built by someone on stream at some
point?
Also, a new revision has been completed based on
initial testing and feedback.
Multiple builds are
planned for alternate (backwards compatible) plate types,
materials, and switches.
Stay tuned!
