Introducing the Bolsalice by Bolsa Supply; our take on the 60% Alice layout keyboard
The Bolsalice has been in the works for almost a year now, with the first prototype being showcased during our 1 year anniversary twitch stream that took place back in June of 2021 and is now finally being fully introduced. When we designed the Bolsalice, the same mentality was kept as with the Midway60. We aren’t exactly trying to reinvent the wheel; we just wanted to create a really damn solid board that looked good, sounded good, had all the features we wanted in a board, and felt amazing to type on right out of the box without the need for additional modifications like foam, tape, etc. (not that there is anything wrong with this! It just isn’t our personal preference). We took some of the design touches that made the Midway60 unique and injected it into the design of Bolsalice. The end result is a board that carries a lot of the Bolsa design DNA and satisfies our cravings as enthusiasts in what we wanted in an Alice layout keyboard - just like what Midway60 did for us.
Specs:
•60% Alice Layout
•CNC 3 Piece Construction (top, bottom, weight)
•6063 Aluminum, Sandblasted + Anodized
•Isolated gasket sandwich mount (2mm thick PORON gaskets)
•Multiple plate options featuring leaf spring tabs and half-plate variants
•15mm front height (bottom to the end of lip), 17mm from the top of the lip
•7° typing angle
•~2.3kg unbuilt
•Bolsa logomark engraving motif on the weight
•Solder PCB with a JST + Daughterboard connection
•Front lip/chamfer design + exaggerated seam (Midway60 seam)
General information
•As of right now we are aiming for a partial small in stock run following a group buy with a limited spot capacity. This is still tentative.
•We hope to start production on in-stock units as Midway60 fulfillment moves a bit quicker, that way we can launch the sale immediately after Midway60 is finished. Again this is all just tentative and is subject to change.
•Colors are still being worked out as we await color samples from our manufacture, but as of right now we are aiming for gray, navy, e-white, and forest green. Renders of each color provided below.
•Price point projection (UPDATE 4/2): $400 (base)
