Unique chance to own an unique keyboard!
My bespoke design for cut-down version of 1800 layout. One of prototypes made.
With the overall cost close to £300 my asking price is only £165 shipped within the UK. This price does not include switches or keycaps.
Specs:
Millmaxed PCB (hot-swappable), with switch pads, powered by QMK / VIA
Black POM plate with foam pads
Poron gaskets on the plate
Resin 3D printed bottom case
Laser cut top acrylic frames (multiple colours to play with), cheap to get more colours done
Pictured with two top frames for high profile case, can be assembled with just one for low profile
3D printed feet
All design files for the PCB and housing will be provided
Check my final build examples
Please note this is an bespoke prototype with few caveats:
Unusual layout one column short in alpha block
To avoid stiffness there is no standoffs holding the PCB, therefore you need to hold plate and PCB together (taken out of case) to securely insert switches
Plate has a bit of move horizontally and needs to be adjusted after assembly to avoid keycaps catching the frame (not causing trouble afterwards)
Screws are going to the threaded holes in the resin, they not very strong - I've found this in a bad way overturning one - not a trouble due to the number of screws
* 1.75u Enter, 2u left Shift and 2x 2.75u spacebars are quite challenging when sourcing keycaps (you will need 40s and two spacebar add-ons)
Fully built with Purple Panda switches and ePBT Ping keycaps bundle worth £250 alone (7 kits described here), can be purchased for £240 shipped within the UK.
Can send worldwide with additional cost
