Simply put, this is an IC for 60% version of
Leaf 80.
This IC is not for checking interests because we
will run it for sure.
The purpose of this IC is for
collecting suggestions/opinions on the current design and
future available options.
Some potential new features:
-
New plate mounting method. We’ve been using top mount for quite a long time. Now we’re trying to figure out how to play with gaskets. Not sure if the current design can be called gasket mount or not.
-
Anodizing: new regular colors, gradient anodizing, camo ano, hard ano
-
E-coating: new colors, non matte finish (the original e-white and e-black are all matte finish)
-
PVD brass case: It was a pain to deal with PVD because the quality is hard to control. Exclusive found a reliable factory that can do PVD in very high quality. It might be worth trying. Really appreciate his help.
-
PC case: Anyone interested in opaque PC cases? I’m not sure about the aesthetic aspect but the PC cases sound different from metal cases.
The current design is to attach 4 long strips of self-adhesive gaskets on both the top case and the bottom case.
The gaskets have screw holes on them. They will be compressed a little bit when the screws are tightened.
The front and rear sides of the plate will be sandwich mounted in the middle.
Update on 01/08:
Some changes have been made since the IC starts. There are also some details have been confirmed. -
Two versions of proprietary PCBs with middle USB ports. The first version supports variants of MX layouts and WKL ALPS layout. The second version supports hotswap and dedicated HHKB/WKL layout. Both are USB C + QMK
The USB port cutout will be in the middle
-
4 types plates will be available: MX universal, MX WKL, MX HHKB, ALPS
-
Colors of aluminum parts: E-white, E-black, E-red, purple anodizing, yellow anodizing
-

-

-
Pricing for aluminum/PC kits: $275 excluding Paypal fees or $290 with PayPal fees included.

-
Limits: 10 kits for all brass kits because PVD quality is difficult to control.
