Some of you may have come across my long running
project on deskthority:
https://deskthority.net/workshop-f7/designing-a-custom-topre-board-t11734.html. To summarise, I have been attempting to (and so far
successfully) make a
split hand, adjustable column ergonomic keyboard
that supports Topre switches through my custom electronics.
The electronics are coming along nicely along with the
firmware, here are the controllers:
They use Teensy 3.1/3.2 boards.
I just want a
quick check to find out how many people might be interested
in buying the keyboard before I go spending too much money,
which is also why I haven’t build a full keyboard yet. I
will be getting select parts to further test electronics and
the manufacturer capability.
The case parts (no
electronics or switches) will likely be around £100 given a
batch of 100, made in the UK. The electronics price depends
on if I get the PCBs fully populated or just sell the blank
circuit boards (both from China), the first will be more
expensive than the second, but you’ll have to do a fair
amount of soldering.
But you will need to solder anyway after building the
columns.
The case should also be compatible with more
standard MX style switches, in a more typical custom
keyboard setup (full hand wiring).
If you’re
interested, please post the particular variant you’d be
interested in:
(2x Teensies not included, you’d also need a Topre /
clone keyboard for switches if you want Topre)
- £100 - Just the case (for MX)
- £130 - Case and blank PCBs (you’d need to spend a fair amount on components)
-
£200 - Case and assembled electronics
Note that any of the prices could be completely wrong. The case price is based on quotes from manufacturers for 100 keyboards, but the electronics is based on component cost which I had to pay + conjectured assembly price. I’m trying to be conservative, I don’t want the price to go up in future.
