Hello friends of Geekhack,
We are happy to present to you Doro67, an integrated plate 65% customized keyboard set.
Doro67’s look is inspired by RAMA’s M65A. The purpose of this design to build an aesthetically simplistic everyday workhorse keyboard. To achieve consistent keypress feedback, Doro67 adopts an integrated plate that is 4mm thick, which is compatible with a few layouts. In order to achieve a comfortable typing experience with high-profile keycaps such as the SA caps, Doro67 applies a lower keyboard profile (height) than a majority of the keyboards on the market. Further, to keep a stable connection, the USB connector will use a separate sub-board from the PCB.

**Progress:
Currently, the prototype PCB has been fully tested, the prototype case is with the manufacturer.
8/9/2018: CNC Prototype finished, waiting for anodization.
8/14/2018: Prototype finished. Test completed. Minor modifications will be made.
8/16/2018: A couple of updates
a. Modifications sent to manufacturer, additional prototype may be made.
b. The main design will stay the same. We will provide a few option for customizations (e.g., split backspace/space/shift/iso, for a small customization fee for those who need it). Customization is very costly, and we will try to provide all options we are able to negotiate.
c. Bottom slab is 3mm thick, for those who want to know.
9/2/2018: A couple of updates
a. 80ultraman confirmed that he will make 2 versions of PCBs. Default layout buyers will have the option to upgrade to an RGB PCB at a small fee (details forthcoming).
b. We are expecting the shipment of two second prototypes (white/black) on Tuesday!
9/4/2018:
Prototype (1 black, 1 white) finished, shipped to our tester, we will come back with updates very shortly!
9/5/2018:
Prototype (1 black, 1 white) received and images updated. GB coming!

To-do list:

  1. Test the compatibility of PCB and the case
  2. Optimize the USB connector case holes and the details of the case
  3. Make a deal with the manufacturer (ALF) and set final pricing (estimated under ~$250 with a set of Case and PCB)
  4. Run Group Buy!
