Hello GH! This is an interest check for Pegasus.
IC Form:
here
Pegasus is a 40% keyboard with a 12.75u “WKL” layout with
0.75u blockers. This keyboard was heavily inspired by the
upper bezel/lower lip found on TX- series boards and
ai03’s reference designs.
Case Design
The switch plate (which is also the raised bezel) is
an integrated half plate that is sandwiched between the top
and bottom with poron foam strips for dampening. I went with
this approach as I prefer to have stiffer modifiers for
tap/hold functions, while still providing a soft,
comfortable typing experience in the alphas.
The weight
is laser engraved with Pegasus which is the namesake of the
keyboard. Weight material will be either brass or polished
stainless steel (TBD).
In total, Pegasus is made up of
4 parts to assemble the case: top, bottom, switch plate and
weight.
Please note that the colors in this prototype will
not be offered in the potential group buy. More on colors
below.
Some notable specs of Pegasus:
- 6° typing angle.
- Effective key height of 24.2mm.
- Soldered PCB powered by an Atmega 32u4 with C3 Unified Daughterboard.
- Support for 6.25u space and 2u/2.25u split space.
- Optional rotary encoder support.
- Flex cut on the PCB between the 2nd and 3rd rows.
-
QMK / Vial support.
Please see this reference document for additional information:

Color Offerings
The top colors offered for the upcoming group buy will be: - E-White
- Indian Teal
- Grape
-
Red
All boards will have a black switch plate and bottom. Both brass and polished stainless steel weights will also be offered! Please see the following for the different configurations:
Please note that this render is only to give an idea of the colors offered. Prototypes have been ordered and we’ll provide photos once they arrive.
P3D Store will also be offering a cerakote option during the group buy! Colors and pricing are still to be determined, but this offers a great way to get very unique, custom color combinations to truly make this keyboard your own. Examples of P3D’s cerakote quality can be seen here

More
In an effort to keep a potential group buy as
simple as possible, there will probably only be 3 colors
offered. The switch plate and bottom are currently chosen to
be either black or silver to be easily compatible with a
wide range colorways provided by the vast amount of amazing
keycap sets. The decision on the case top offerings will be
based on a combination of weight material and most voted
colors. Polished Stainless Steel weights would mean black
bezel and bottom will be chosen; Brass could mean either
black or silver bezel/bottom could be offered.
Ultimately, only one color for the bezel/bottom will be
chosen (black or silver). Please consider filling out the IC
form and add any comments on colors!
When colors have
been chosen, I’ll provide much better renders to better
illustrate the final product and then follow up with samples
from the manufacturer.
Price and Availability
P3D Store
will be the worldwide vendor!
Pricing for a base kit
will be as follows:
$350 with US domestic shipping included.
All international orders will get a discounted DHL
Express shipping rate to everyone can benefit from the base
kit cost:
+$30 for Canada
+$40 for the rest of the
world.
Base kit includes case, PCBs (mainboard and C3
Unified Daughterboard), JST cable, hardware and bumpons.

Please let me know if there are any questions on this
project. I’m happy to answer them to the best of my ability.
Looking forward to any and all discussions!
Updates
[2/20/2022] The
prototype shown in this post has since been updated with the
following:
- Overall height has been decreased to what is shown now (effective key height = 24.2mm)
-
Rubber bumpons have revised. Please see reference document
for final bumpon footprint.
[3/2/2022] Update with vendor announcement, pricing and cerakote option.

[3/7/2022] Color and weight options. Prototypes ordered.

[3/14/2022] Updated OP with render of color and weight options. Please note that I did these renders myself while trying to learn KRK/Blender this past week. Still need to learn a lot about materials and lighting, but hopefully this gives a good idea of the different configurations. Once the prototypes are received, we will share photos. Super stoked to get them in hand!
[4/26/2022] Round 2 Protos received. Quality is great, but color matching for indian teal and grape need some work. More color samples have been ordered from the manu.
