Vixen is the latest board from Eye Oh Designs. Taking inspiration form Prime_Elise, EM7, and Alice style boards, Vixen is an evolution of the babyV. This board aims to please fans of that keyboard that wanted something more premium. Its features include:
Case/Plate:
-babyV layout with some new bottom row options!
-Gasket mount.
-5 degree typing angle with 18 mm front height.
-Seamless aluminum anodized top case with a brass bottom/weight.
-Does not support plate mount stabilizers.
PCB:
-Compatible with MX style switches. Hotswap and Soldered PCB options are planned.
-Powered by a RP2040 running Vial.
-USB C connection and circuit protection through the unified daughterboard. As such, babyV PCBs are not compatible with Vixen.
-Supports screw-in and snap-in stabilizers.
Pricing: TBD
Planned units: TBD
Planned vendors: www.eyeohdesigns.com
Timeline for GB: Late October/Early November 2022 for orders. I’ll be using the same manufacturer that knocked out humble40 in 2 months.
Current Status: I’m really happy with the prototypes and how they turned out. Things left to do include adjusting the weight design to allow a little more space for the PCB and experiment with some more gasket material. Now that prototypes are in, I’ll likely run another IC to confirm what colors folks want. If red makes it, it’ll be the Heartbreak shade used on humble40. Other than that, this board is ready to go!
Collabs: Some have asked about getting a wrist rest made for this board. I’d love to collab with someone that designs these if you’re interested! Reach out!
