Pic for the whole keyboard
http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=57948.msg1344671/#msg1344671
Hi, its me again.
I have had a thought of
linking up the chinese market with the world before
and
after a chat with berserkfan weeks ago, I am even more
confident that this is gonna work.
It was about a plan
to start up GB one in a short period about the chinese
products that are cheap and fun
And this is the very
first project that I have been working on since last
month,
a value-edition DIY keyboard bundle that
includes everything you need for a working keyboard other
than keycap.
this is a bundle that may suit your need
if you’d like to try and build your customized keyboard but
you don’t know where(or too lazy) to get everything, in a
cheaper price
And its also an Aluminium Housing
Keyboard that meets its price
I did not open any GB nor
IC before as I would like to gather more information and
samples before i start it, to show that I am kind of
prepared before starting an IC
yet I am introducing
this now because I found that ppl actually feel interested
about this board
I would try not to let this project fail due to
diluted orders
As I have said this bundle would include
nearly everything that u originally might have to source
from different places
I grouped all of them up from the
China market and put them all in.
By the mean time, I
would also like to introduce the products from china to you
guys. There are these many options to build a board when
sourcing china!
And if you guys would like, we can hold
more GBs to get these with cheaper price
With a large
batch, it comes with a pretty decent price!
The
following are included
1.)Red Scarf II GH-DT version (Named : Red Scarf II
ISO)
More
In short, a GH and DT only version of Red Scarf II with
addition of an ISO layout to the PCB
So
it is capable of doing all the things it can do now + ISO
layout ( a more complete /versatile version)
http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=57424.0
http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=57976.0
77 key layout ,Runs Atmel 32U4, Fully programmable ,
full led support with 3 levels of light and a breathing
mode
and its good with both PCB mounted and Plate
mounted switches
The numpad part can be dislocated, to
form a 60% keyboard.
But it still can be soldered back
to form a whole 77.
All IC and SMD parts are
presoldered, the only soldering work need to do is to solder
the switches and LED to the PCB!
The Red Scarf 2 is
actually designed for the chinese market, it does not
contain an ISO layout as most chinese uses standard ANSI
layout
This is kind of the first custom keyboard with
new layout that is designed originally in china, and is also
for sale in the market
I think this is a pretty good
product which is attractive with its layout and at the same
time, do not touches the Copyright issue
As i have
actually been playing keyboard for quite a long period of
time in china, and 悬壶济世 is one of my very good friend
I
asked him to provide me an ISO version of the 77 (red scarf
2) and asked for more anodizing options (more colours, as
theres only 3 colours in china)
And he is nice enough
to promise that this particular version will be exclusive
for GH and DT
But as he is doing his GB in China, he
said he will handle orders from us at late may or early
June
but i will be getting some colour platesas as
sample of the anodized aluminium soon!
2.)Aluminium Housing + MKC legs
More
An Aluminium Housing (semi aluminium-housing to be
precise) that comes in 3 parts
Top : 3mm Anodized
Aluminium
Middle : 12mm acrylic
Bottom : 3mm
Anodized Aluminium
Footings : MKC Metal Feets
For
Chinese version, there will only be three anodizing colour :
Red, Black and original Silver
For the GH-DT version
(Red Scarf II ISO), we are gonna have more anodizing
options
Samples will be sent to me very soon and i will
update you guys ASAP
3.) Anodized Aluminium Plates
More
1.5mm Anodized Aluminium Plates, similar to the case,
originally with only 3 anodizing option.
And we have
more options coming up soon that is exclusively for the GB
in GH and DT
The plate will be ISO || ANSI compatible,
but the 1800 and winkey|winkeyless layout will be seperated
into two style
This is how the plate looks like at the ISO || ANSI
compatible part
4.) 100 Plate Mounted Black Swithces
More
I have only sourced black swithces atm, I will keep on
trying to get more options
5.) Stablizers
More
The brand new stabalizers are product from the Hammer, which
u may have heard of his 60% case and plates
It comes
with black wire in 7 2x , 1 6.25x and 1 7x stablizer which
can fit any layout you like!
6.) Switch Stickers
More
switch stickers designed and manufactured by hc3277738
they
are made of PET or PVC, with varies kinds of colours which
can be chosen in the bundle!
From my experience, PVC
are more rigid and sticks better
7.)Lindy Cable
More
Quality Cable!
Lindy Cable are very popular in china,
mainly because of the style added to your board with its
coiled cable
But as i know, ppl may need a longer cable
rather than the 0.5m -ish coiled cable
therefore i have
also sourced for options like 1m and 2m straight cables from
lindy
8.) LED
More
Very cheap in china, I will likely be ordering 2x3x4 LED
as
normal 3mm LED may be too high and top cherry profile
keycaps
though 3mm has more colour options, i think
2x3x4 LED are easily if its do no have much experience in
this
4-6 colours will be available, eg Green, Red,
Blue, White, Orange, Yellow
With the above bundle, what u need next is a set of
keycaps that you would love to be on this set
This
bundle will come at price around 150-200 USD + shipping and
paypal fee, depending on the amount of orders we have
Accepts
Seperate orders from the bundle (like i only want item 1 2
3)
for shipping fee, you can take reference of the
following price list
http://www.hongkongpost.hk/eng/postage/overseas/parcel/air/index.htm
As my taihao gb may arrive in similar time, i think
its better for me to ship both this bundle and the keycap
together if some of you ordered them both
This GB will
start once i got the samples, (hopefully late may - early
June(turbo on, asking 悬壶济世 to speed our progress up )to
make sure everyone knows what they would get and for me to
confirm everythings going according to the plan
Options
of buying above item separately will be provided
Since
the last IC , which is the Taihao GB, there are quite a lot
of ppl judging me by the experience and period of time that
i have join the community
I think the best way to prove
myself is to work hard on every GB i start, and make sure
everything’s fine.
Sourcing the above is not an easy
task for a beginner, which i hope somehow gives confident to
you guys that im not that green
I have actually been
playing keyboard in China for quite a long time and would
like to provide more options to the community
and at
the same time, to show u guys that there are decent products
developed in china and hopefully in HK in the future!
Please
feel free to show ur interest or ask question below!
