Ex: Idol
Some may recognise my name from Geekhack, but I am
more commonly known in the community as Dark
Since the fulfilment of my previous keyboard projects
Ex: GS/Guga , Ex: Visas , and
Ex: CCRX , and with the shipping of my latest
design - Ex: Ecliptica being imminent, I thought it
was time to unveil my 5th keyboard project.
I am announcing that instead of deciding entry and
participation via invite, I intend to make it available to
the wider community in a public sale, when it is
ready.

Specifications
. F12 F13 layout TKL, WKL only
[Changing to F13 from F12 in the second
rendition/prototype]
.9 Degree typing angle and
below 17.5mm adjusted front height [front height measured
from the inside of the bezel to the bottom of the case]
.Innovative
new mounting method designed by myself - second generation
bumpon mount
.Large 304L Stainless Steel
through-weight
.Easy to pick up due to the side
profile/bottom shape
.Original design yet
reminscent of the styling of KPOP themed boards; faithful as
an evolution to the spirit of the design language inherited
from the
Camp C225 Keyboard
Inspiration
My designs have names that allude to
their inspiration.
For this keyboard, it’s dedicated to
an Idol.
It’s a small play on words, since
Yeonwoo [
instagram link] is a former member of the group
Momoland.
It hasn’t yet been decided who will be the subject of
the final design; If going ahead with the red colour I was
considering putting a ‘ Solo‘ engraving on the
weight…
For those that object to the theme, I’m
considering an alternatively styled set of engravings based
on the ‘traditional’ interpretation of an Idol that could be
used - that of an object of worship or faith.

Next generation mounting method
More
I don’t see many pushing the typing experience forward
onto better things, which is the original basis of this
hobby - its raison d’etre.
*If I make something, I always want it to be the best
possible; I aspire to do something that no one else could’ve
made if I hadn’t done it first.
*
The mounting
method of this keyboard is the second iteration of the
‘bumpon mount’ pioneered by myself in an earlier design(
Ex: Visas).
Using bumpons placed on either
side of the plate, the vibrations of the plate are
completely isolated in a way that is distinct from gasket
mount.
By using single points as the contact for
mounting rather than a shelf as normally used in gasket -
it’s a distinction like that of between sandwich and top
mount.
Taking my knowledge gained from my previous
innovations and variations on top mount in
Ex: GS/Guga along with Ex: CCRX and
Ex: Ecliptica , in which a deflection/rebound
of the plate was developed to achieve a softer and more
responsive typing experience; I was able to implement
something closer to a ‘true leaf spring’.
This is
different from the current consensus of ‘leaf spring’ within
the community which is understood as a shape which allows
for deformation of the plate when force is applied, as it
lacks the same responsive rebound present in this mounting
method

Second Rendition Revisions
*.The keyboard is
changing to an F13 layout and the leftmost case-fastening
point on the top bezel moves 14mm closer to the left side of
the case, as pictured below
.I am working closely with Gondo on all my projects,
and we are currently revising the PCB to be F13 compatible,
with altered internal fastening points, before undergoing a
second round of prototyping
.I am adding my version of
a front lip, similar to that featured on the
CCRX design, but more subtle. I think this adds a
sense of completion to the side profile and is aesthetically
pleasing when viewed from above

I want to thank Gondo very much for supporting me,
along with Shoobs for going out of their way to take all of
these photographs, and record the typing test/mounting
demonstration. I’m really grateful to both of you.
I
also want to thank all of the Bandits, my friends and
everyone in my server who supports and believes in me.
