LEVIATÁN
Plateless, PCB-mounted
leaf-spring 60%
IC FORM
INTRODUCTION
Over the summer I
wanted an FRLTKL, so I made one. The keyboard was fantastic
but I decided I preferred the way the 60% version looked so
here we are now. After testing v1 (the FRLTKL), I was happy
with the design, so I made the 60% and organized a private
sale for it (around 30 units). The units of the private sale
are scheduled to come in 4 weeks. The colors I made were
dark purple, dark red and silver. The colors from the
private group buy will not be available again for the public
run of this board. These units have changes based on what I
wanted to improve after testing the FRLTKL. The only major
change was an increase in weight size and changes to the
rubber feet.
The mounting system, dimensions,
tolerances, and almost every single detail of the FRLTKL is
identical to the 60%. The only change is the layout. If
someone has the luck to be able to test the FRLTKL at a
meetup, expect Leviatán to be virtually identical in
sound/feel. Below are some photos of the FRLTKL (thanks
to NickTheLard). As you will see, the 60% is the same down
to the chamfer sizes, so I decided to show the FRLTKL anyway
for reference. The FRLTKL design may have a standalone IC in
the future, that is not decided yet. I am aware that showing
a keyboard that is not the one for the IC is unorthodox, but
the design is the same and I wanted to show how good the
overall aesthetic looks IRL.
