There's a new custom keyboard being developed in Korea @ kbdlab (what new?)
It's at the prototyping stage. I'll try to post the actual photos as they become available.
I spoke with one of the developers and it sounds like they are willing to make it available to GHers as long as there's enough interest ;)
It will be affordable, relatively speaking :-X
I don't have the exact pricing but I was told to expect around 200USD including the PCB. But that's before shipping and other fees etc.
Some bullet points....
- KMAC2/Orion like structure. Top/Plate/Bottom, bottom is angled
- Top : anodized aluminum with many color options available
- Plate : stainless steel (heavier) or anodized aluminum
- Bottom : CNC'd Polycarbonate. It's designed to allow the LED light through
- There's a 2mm stainless steel plate mounted on the bottom to add weight
- PCB : programmable of course. supports Winkey/Winkeyless/ISO/etc.
- Supports in-switch LEDs & RGB LED underneath the PCB (like this (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=35864.msg1451812#msg1451812))
So if you're interested, show your interest in this thread :thumb:
Does the plate allow switch top removal?
Yes, you can remove switch tops without desoldering.
yuiop, is this a87 or b87 compatible?
or in other words, is the usb header on the right (between F12 and PrtScn) or on the left (between Esc and F1)?
This is A87 compatible housing.

I'm new to the custom korean keyboard scene. Would full assembly (e.g. switch/led soldering) services be offered as part of this possible GB?
Assembly will be offered.
Any chance the maker can do Alps?
MX only :(
I don't know the exact angle but I think these will be flatter than the Orion/Lightsaver which is 11 degree slanted. I'll ask.
This keyboard is 7.5 degrees tilted.
In comparison, KMAC2 is 7 degrees. Orion/Lightsaver/Eagle/Viper are 11 degrees.
If you prefer to use it at a higher angle, you can just use taller bumpons in the back.
I don't think assembly service will be offered as part of GB.how about the resistors? are they presodered like Duck's pcb?
Resistors and Diodes are all pre-soldered.
There will be spots for 22 surface mounted RGB LEDs. They will likely come pre-soldered as well.

Post by: yuiop on Tue, 16 September 2014, 13:00:12
I really wish we could move away from the angled bottoms. They just make the keyboard unnecessarily heavy(cost more to ship, but feels great), and having adjustable feet seems like a muck better option.
I personally think there's more pros than cons with angled housing. Also those feet are rarely 'adjustable' unless you get another set with different height.
Post by: yuiop on Tue, 16 September 2014, 13:01:25
Would definitely buy this if it is in the ~200$ price range plus shipping.

I'm not sure. I'll ask.

My Kmac has feet that have removable "washer" layers for adjustability. I am glad you think there are more pros with angled bottoms, please list them here for us. I would much rather have to buy separate feet, or be able to remove them all together instead of being forced into having an angled board.

+1
That permanent angle is enough to keep me from buying into this regardless of price. I actually got into the mechanical keyboard hobby because I was given a Dell rubber dome (http://www.amazon.com/Dell-F8M3Y-KB113P-Computer-Compatible/dp/B009UZQTT2) keyboard at work that had a permanent angle and I hated it so much I started researching for a quality replacement.

First of all, I'm not trying to convince anyone to like angled keyboard. If you don't like it, that's fine. Then this keyboard is not for you.
I personally don't care about having adjustable feet. I'd much rather have the extras weight and stability of angled keyboards. If I need to raise it up a little, I'd use taller bumpons in the back. Problem solved. I have KMAC2 and KMAC 1.2. Both have same the PCB, same mx clear stems, same spring weight etc. Only difference is KMAC2 is angled and weighs about twice as much. To ME, KMAC2 feels and types much better.

IMO KMAC2 angle is perfect, not too much and not too little. Do we know what kind of angle this board will have?

I have been wanting a b.87 winkeyless.kr board with the rgb underlighting like OP mentioned for awhile now. However, I have no idea how I would get one as I don't know any Korean proxies that deal with this sort of thing.

I believe the bottom layer is CNC'd acrylic. Just going by what he says in the OP. Guessing what we see in the renderings is a separate metal piece which is added for weight in the center of the acrylic bottom.

Cnc'ed polycarbonate. Like the middle layer of gon boards. This probably why the price is cheaper than full ALU boards. Makes for night lighting effects too.

Acrylic =/= polycarbonate. Just FYI. Polycarbonate is much more easily machined and is denser in my opinion. Polycarbonate is also called by a tradename Lexan. A use of Lexan is bulletproof windows.

No updates. Still waiting for the prototype sample. Once we have that we might do a formal interest check to see if there's enough interest here on GH and also for the aluminum top color choices.
Very interested in seeing the variety of Colours for the Aluminum Tops :thumb: . Want to see some Purple, Black, and some Military Greens.

How so? The top is meant to be different from the rest of the case, as seen on the design sketch. Translucent goes well with copper imo :)
P.S.: I hope this is going to be well-anodized aluminum, not very thinly anodized aluminum. LZ Aluminum Skin kit was very cheap, but the aluminum parts were pretty scratch-prone, as the anodized layer seemed thin or perhaps lower grade aluminum combined with thinner anodized layer.

Classic colors like Black/Silver and maybe Red will be done regardless.
They can do other colors like blue/gold/purple/etc, provided there's enough demand.
I have no clue about copper, whether it is even possible to have aluminum anodized like that.
Some of those pics look like copper-plated, not anodized. I don't think anodized aluminum is supposed to be shiny like that.

Yeah, it exists as a color dye.
And raw aluminum finish dictates the anodized finish. It can be shiny, bead blasted, brushed, etc.
Anyway, I just offered it as a suggestion of something different vs. the standard colors, because it's indeed available, along with other unusual but neutral colors, such as bronze and brown.

They can do whatever color you guys want - copper, brown, purple, baby pink, sky blue, lime green, gun metal gray or whatever. They are very flexible when it comes to anodizing colors. But there is moq - 30 per color. This may sound a lot - and it probably is - but keep in mind, this GB is being run jointly with Korean/Chinese communities so we might see some weird colors being made, hopefully :cool:
So if you have specific color you want, please post here. It may get added to the interest check which is coming pretty soon. Attaching some sample pics would be nice as well since it helps us visualize a beautiful keyboard in your color ;)

Nice to see them being so accommodating. :thumb: Copper and bronze get my vote. Colors are fun but...need something different. I'll never say no to pink or purple, though.

Is it possible to have an option for extra top plates with each kit? That would make it easier for indecisive folks to choose and it would help us make moq on the colors.
Yes, you will have that option.

Springs would be a great option. I have heard 68-70g springs are close to vintage blacks. Having vintage blacks would have really made this GB too good to be true lol. It is too awesome as it is.

Will There be an option of case only? If so id totally be interested.
Yes. You will be able to customize your order pretty much any way you want.
If you're only interested in case, you need to make sure your pcb fits. This is A87-compatible case.

Springs alone don't make vintage blacks. It's the stem that makes the biggest difference. The problem is those are not something you can just buy off of a vendor.
any option to cnc the bottom acrylic case to fit with b pcb? i.e. b87
No

Looking forward to seeing some MORE prototypes being made. Would be nice to have a complete clear based housing so that you can ogle at the Cherry Goodness beneath the front plate.
Just have them do ONE Clear Polycarbonate plate which has a frosted finish to it, because there is a complete lack of any ALL-Clear Keyboard Casings here on Geekhack :thumb: .

As for the top plate colors, there will be many. As long as MOQ (20-30) is met any reasonable color can be done (no white). black, silver, red and probably blue will be made regardless.
Another thing I should mention - this keyboard will have a pretty solid weight to it. It will probably weigh as much as typical non-angled full alu boards like KMAC1.
Post by: radio_killah on Fri, 31 October 2014, 20:04:54
Prototyping is taking longer than expected. As for when the actual GB will start, your guess is as good as mine. I was hoping we can start taking orders by the end of Nov. We'll see how this round of prototyping goes. I'll probably have some pics soon.

Maybe we can make a pool for colors since a MOQ is required
I think you meant poll, but I agree a poll would be nice if someone could make one to see how much interest there is in certain colors. I have found a couple pics that show how different colors look on anodized aluminum. This first one is of some generic Chinese drip tips for vaping, but I think it shows the standard colors on aluminum well:
(http://i.imgur.com/An42Lw8.jpg)
I prefer "B" which is a gunmetal gray similar to what you would see on some Korean customs like KMACs or the 356.2. "J" is what I think of as "Sky Blue." This second pic is of a teal anodized knife. My second choice would be of a teal like this:
(http://i.imgur.com/zMR4Sgl.png)

After seeing this thing lit up, I don't think I can resist. Would definitely go for one in a dark grey or silver top finish.

Any ETA on this? I just bought a plate, stabs, and 65g springs and was going to try to find a case and build everything, but this looks much more attractive. Love TKL customs.
Soon.

Yuiop can you elaborate a little bit more about what assembly services will be available as well as price for it?
Full assembly. It will likely be done in Korea.
They already have most of the parts on hand - switches, stabs, custom springs, switch LEDs and etc.
You can customize in terms of what switches/springs/LEDs you want.
I'm not sure about lubing but I think it can be done as well.
You will get a fully built board - minus keycaps - delivered right to your door.
I don't have the pricing but it will be reasonable.

Do you know if it will be possible to order just the components so we can assemble it ourselves? Would that chance the pricing at all?

As of right now its the only thing keeping this from going live.

question, is there a option to have a opaque sub bottom? Not interested in the light show just want a alu case for my a87 :)
You mean the aluminum bottom? Probably not.
Black polycarb bottom won't let much light through so you might want to consider that.

If you choose Alu Bottom, You should pay a little more.Not a problem at all! Alu bottom will be amazing even without RGB! How much more would it cost? (1.5x more or something like previously mentioned for the Black polycarbonate prototype?)

I will definitely not mind paying extra for an aluminum bottom as the total price is already so low!

The polycarbonate layer connects to the aluminum top with a lip/bump/edge popping out and I don't really like that.

I see, thank you very much kin for explaining about the different size. I'm guessing since aluminum bottoms won't give out light LED spreading (obviously), you're going to think and design up another bottom design? If so, take your time :) I look back at it and I don't really mind the different size, I'm just glad an aluminum bottom is becoming available for us!
Seems like the PCB is still a bit delayed, nothing you or us can do to change it but wait.

Yes, Aluminum would be preferable if it's the same price as the PC would have been. But don't go out of your way on my account.

On the upside GON has the option to solder the connector soldered on the top side therefore it should be compatible making this case look that much sexier to me.....Thanks checking so quickly!QuoteWhich way does the connector need to be in order to fit in this case?
You can't use nerd pcb, if usb connector is solded on the downside. like this picture

for using Nerd backlight led... you have to use pc plate.

I don't really understand how all these things work but do I have to buy a controller for it? and controller is what decides NKRO over USB and such right?
impressive work, though, I must say.
Post by: loud_asian on Wed, 07 January 2015, 01:28:37
very tempted. is cable exit only on the right side though? or what is the notch above the end of the F-row?

Looks like the mini usb port is where the notch is on the F-Row. I think controller will already be soldered onto the board, as most Korean customs have this feature.

Nerd looks like a87(right side usb connecter). so you may use Nerd PCB on tx87. but you must use longer usb mini jack.

Can anyone comment on the quality of the components/manufacture of the PCB. I kind of feel like I got a little f***ed on my TrikX (don't get me wrong - it's my daily driver but after all of the hullabaloo about the soldering and chatter, etc. I'd like to know that if I'm going to drop cash on this it isn't just some hobbyist clusterf***k).

After reading thru every single post on the last 14 pages I couldn't be more stoked about this! :thumb:
Definitely put me on the interest list for 2 full cases and atleast one additional top plate for color variation! xD
I'm considering using a GON PCB atm, but I'm slightly confused by the kmac vs a87 question...
You guys can use the KMAC2 (GON NerD) PCB though no?Here are some pics...
(Attachment Link)
(Attachment Link)
Now GON has both a87 (http://www.gonskeyboardworks.com/pcbs-and-controllers/60-nerd-tkl-ver20-pcb.html) and kmac (http://www.gonskeyboardworks.com/group-buys/115-nerd-tkl-for-kmac.html) PCBs.
As far as I understand what has been discussed before, both kmac and a87 (with top mounted usb connector) would fit just fine except the usb connecter is shorter on the a87 so the plug will need to be longer (as it sits farther inside the case)?

I will definitely end up buying more then one case since there are so many possible options.
The red top from the mockup is pretty much a must have but I also love how black or grey works great with any led color...
Good thing there will be additional anodized top plates available! xD
The only thing I could possibly still ask for, since there is already a black PC bottom, is if it would be possible to make an option for a white PC bottom by any chance?
A white PC bottom would be awesome since rarely any cases are available in white since it can't be anodized, so the polycarbonate feels like a chance to get white for once maybe...
Also the original renders make the transparent bottom look like a solid white and it just looks amazing in those pictures!
I feel like a white bottom with red top might be the closest to those original renders since it looked white to me at first. :)

Thx for the quick reply kin! :)
I will definitely end up buying more then one case since there are so many possible options.
The red top from the mockup is pretty much a must have but I also love how black or grey works great with any led color...
Good thing there will be additional anodized top plates available! xD
The only thing I could possibly still ask for, since there is already a black PC bottom, is if it would be possible to make an option for a white PC bottom by any chance?
A white PC bottom would be awesome since rarely any cases are available in white since it can't be anodized, so the polycarbonate feels like a chance to get white for once maybe...
Also the original renders make the transparent bottom look like a solid white and it just looks amazing in those pictures!
I feel like a white bottom with red top might be the closest to those original renders since it looked white to me at first. :)
Thanks for taking interest in my housing.
I will open gb with alu top option.
You will be able to buy many color tops. :)
But black PC will not be option.
Only transparent PC and Alu bottom will be made.
Yesterday..
I talked with factory boss.
He said..
He will increase the price of pc bottom.
Because My QC is too high to make them low price.
I'm so sad... :(
Sorry for the late reply kin, last days have been busier then expected... xD
I'm super stoked for the case and can't wait for this to happen! :thumb:
Too bad PC is out of the options because white would have been sweet but its not that bad,
acrylic and aluminum bottom plus all the colors are already loads of options!
Did you mean by QC the quality control would make it more expensive then expected?
I wouldn't mind paying more for a white pc bottom but I can definitely understand if it gets too expensive and
doesn't meat enough interest to the additional poly carbonate bottoms. :)

I hoped that the price of Housing, plate and PCB will be $200.
But now.. It will be $250 or more.
T..T
Post by: FoC_Tow on Wed, 25 March 2015, 10:27:00
Thx Kin! :thumb:
250$ still seems like a attractive and very reasonable price to me tho for a beauty like this, especially considering the limited quantity that might be made and all those options offered!
I think its a good middle way between keeping cost as low as possible for everyone but still offering all those sweet option! =)
I don't think removing the black pc bottom is a big issue for example as you can still go black aluminum if you want an alternative to the backlit transparent bottom!

The boss of factory asked me how many I make PC housing.
He had a plan to buy a machine for PC.
if I will make many... he should buy the machine.
so I said that the quantity would hang on your factory price.
I promise I will try to lower the price. :)

So this is still happening? And it'll be both the PCB and case or just the case? This would be my first custom and I would LOVE to buy it! Thanks! :)
I'm waiting for cherry PCB.
When the PCB testing shall be finished, I will open GB.
ALU bottom and PC bottom.
Many colors of ALU tops.
SUS and ALU plate.
Alps PCB and Cherry PCB.
There will be many options in TX87 GB..... in May.

Did you mean there still might be hopes for colored polycarb bottoms kin if the prices get lower?
Clear and Alu bottom and multi color tops should be more then enough options!
But if color polycarb is still a chance white would be absolutely amazing!

As far as I understand poly carbonate (PC) bottom will come with PC mounting plate and aluminum bottom with a stainless mounting plate, right? :)
What did you mean by tx87 is not available kin? O=
We don't really need pcb mounts, since we have beautiful mounting plate options! =D
It would be cool if we could select stainless or pc bottom plate, but making it case depended would be totally fine as well I guess! :)

This seems like an awesome keyboard. Honest question though, why do Korean customs seem to be so popular on here?
1) Usually carefully designed.
2) Rare, usually produced in a very small number (sometimes <100). And the GB usually conducted on korean forums only.
3) High quality, usually made with aluminum casing.
4) It's a custom, not what you can simply buy from store. ;)
5) Price, small production, high cost.

The factory increase the price.
PC bottom Alu top will be $250.
All Alu housing will be $270.
Anodizing and including PCB(presoldered diodes and resistors) and plate.

I'm sure whatever you end up deciding to make, it'll be of high quality and worth whatever you're asking for it.

I'm new to the custom korean keyboard scene. Would full assembly (e.g. switch/led soldering) services be offered as part of this possible GB?
Assembly will be offered.
If assembly service is offered then I am definitely in!

Disappeared? As in, took everyone's money and orders and fell off the face of the earth? That's not reassuring.

In reality, it's either the camera over-compensating the distortion of the lens, or the use of a telephoto, which gives it the "pincushion (https://photographylife.com/what-is-distortion)" effect. Looking at the pictures' EXIF, it's a generic smartphone pic so it's definitely over-compensation.

The picture taker obviously tried to make the keyboards "slimmer" in Photoshop. :))

When I took a pic of my Realforce and the image came out like that, I was using my S5. Any way to change that? Or just get a new/better camera? (The S5 and old iPhones are my only cameras . :-[)

Don't use potatoes. :P
It's probably not worth your effort fixing a phone pic in Photoshop/LR/your fav photo editor to adjust the distortion.

Almost. The Jane has an aluminum top and uses the TX87 PCB, but the bottom is also aluminum, whereas this board uses an acrylic bottom to show off the RGB. Also, this board is about half the cost.

For $200 dollars it will be no brainer.
The factory increase the price.
PC bottom Alu top will be $250.
All Alu housing will be $270.
Anodizing and including PCB(presoldered diodes and resistors) and plate.
Factory raised the price to $250 and that's not including any shipping for paypal fees. I wouldn't get your hopes up for a price around $200, probably going to end up hovering around ~$300.

I found this photo on KBDLAB. It seems that tx87 is in progress. :cool: :cool:
Is the PCB going to be Black in the final version? <3<3
Would love to get Black or White PCBs, cause Im not a fan of those red PCBs... ;)

Yep it'll be nice if we could get 1
I'd hope more than 1. It'd be hard having geekhack share one TX87 board. :-X

I know this is an IC,but I'm seeing people talking they have the PCBs and cases and whatnot. When did that happen?
Most likely ordered through other means or favoritism. This GB hasn't been fulfilled.

Well Leeku is the one who designed the PCB so he has free reign to do whatever he wants with his product.

Totally understandable, but if you are going to do that at least close out the IC so we don't look like dumbass with our hopes up.I know this is an IC,but I'm seeing people talking they have the PCBs and cases and whatnot. When did that happen?

Yeah, this was IC for a full board that Leeku was supplying the PCBs for. I don't think the really has control over it.
