After 2 rounds of prototype and 3 units later, Crane
is finally ready for an IC. The Crane is designed to be a
slim dual mount 60% with a soft and consistent typing
experience.
Specifications
Typing angle: 6
degree
Weight: Internal brass weight, directly covering
the alphas
Case material and top option: 6063 and WK
only
Case colours: Black, Silver
Plate layouts:
Fixed ANSI, Fixed ISO
Plate materials: Red Aluminium
(5052), Frosted Polycarbonate
Mounting styles: 4-point
Top Mount, Gummy Oring
740g unbuilt, 1kg built
Target
price: ~$300 no more than $350
More
the target price is higher than I would like, but
I have to be realistic with myself. Given the current
situation, the size of the hobby and this being my first
project; I am not confident that I can hit that higher MOQ
to achieve that price.
Adjusted front height:
~17.5mm-17.94mm without feet, ~19mm - 19.5mm with feet
The 4-point top mount provides a slightly softer
typing feel while still being consistent. The mounting tabs
are close to the edge of the plate to provide support so the
mods don’t flex away from the edge.
Top mount Oring mount
Standard USB port.

Due to the low front height and 6 degree angle, the maximum
weight thickness I can achieve is 2mm. It is placed directly
under the alphas and I feel that it has really helped with
the sound.
There is a spacebar cutout in the bottom case for
screw-in stabilizers so you are not limited to using
clip-ins only. Please use clip-ins for backspace otherwise
the oring would be pinched against the case wall and the
plate.
If, for whatever reason, you like shaking
keyboards; depending on what stabs are used you could
potentially feel the build move slightly in the case. This
has no effect on the assembly of the case or the actual
functionality of the keyboard.
