Hello keebs, i'm Geon

I am very excited to introduce my first foreign market product, Vanquish65.
I run a CNC factory in Korea and now I'm producing F1-8X keyboards and selling them.

The Vanquish65 is my second keyboard in a new attempt, and will show our direction and philosophy.
It designed as a 65% tray-mounted keyboard with a torsion beam structure.
I'm sure, it will eliminate prejudice against tray mounts.

Sorry, but it is difficult for me to communicate in English, so please use the link below for quick reply.


Discord - https://discord.gg/Znt2Fdn
Instagram - https://instagram.com/geonworks



[attachimg=1]

The housing is single-structured with the material A6061-T651


[attachimg=2]

The Vanquish65 is a 65% keyboard with supporting two types of CAPS LOCK, BACKSPACE and SPACE BAR (6.25U and 7U).

[attachimg=3]

PCB will be manufactured exclusively.

[attachimg=4]

A total of five pcb brackets are used and a variety of materials are available as options to change strength.

[attachimg=5]

The section was enlarged so that it could be seen directly rather than explained in words.

[attachimg=6]

I changed the exterior design by the opinions from the discord. Because I am focusing always more on basic things than the exterior design.

[attachimg=12]



[attachimg=7]



[attachimg=8]



[attachimg=9]

It is the keyboard that focuses on usability, therefore excessive logos and names of keyboards would be not printed or engraved.

[attachimg=10]

Screws are invisible from the outside.



Vanquish65 Specification :

Housing Material : Aluminium A6061-T651
Weight Material : Aluminium / Stainless / Brass
PCB Mount Material : Alumnium A5052-H32, A6061-T6, TBD
Plate Material : Aluminium and Brass and FR4
Mount Type : Torsion Beam Structure Tray Mount
Angle : 7.0 Degrees
PCB : QMK Compatible, Solderable
Color : Black, Gray, Navy, Burgundy and White
Price : Under $300 without Ship,VAT,White color

Thanks all.

Really cool idea for mounting. I would say that when you liken it to suspension, you are missing the damping aspect though. Possibly leave a tad of room for some foam/silicone padding to add that damping factor

Hey Geon,

I saw that you ran a Korea group buy for the F1-8X. I am Korean and wondering what forum or what site do you use to run these group buys so that I don't miss out on them.

This is extremely interesting. I am very interested to see what other materials you use for mounting and the affects it has on the typing experience. I may just have to pick this up. I'm honestly hoping the group buy is still a ways out though. I normally wouldn't care too much, but I would love to see hotswap on this board. I am concerned that Kaihl sockets would interfere with the mounting posts though, so it may not even be possible.

I am very curious about the dampener. Typing feel is all up there, and I can only go by what Geon says (and perhaps the people to whom he gives protoypes as well). But I want to know the audio profile vs using a sheet of EVA foam / neoprene / sorbothane. I'm trying to create a classy quiet mech, so I'm watching this thread.

Post by: geonworks on Fri, 23 October 2020, 08:37:35
I added it because there was an opinion to add ISO first. And because of the structure, the left SHIFT key cannot be divided into two.
In order to reduce the unit price from the previous method of using iron core, the bracket was changed to a single body and because it may be too flexible, the plan is to place a reinforcement plate on top of PCB.

Cons of tray mount: tends to be stiff and inconsistent in both sound and feel. This is because of the posts the pcb/plate is screwed onto.

Pros: Most standardized PCBs come with tray mount holes (mostly just 60s tho). Allows for easier pcb replacement. Also tray mount boards tend to cost significantly less as they can usually be machined in a single main piece.

This board: attempts to resolve the cons by implementing torsion beams for those mounting points, allowing for some flex and maybe better acoustics.

I'm curious if it will be able to compare with some of the more "superior" mounting systems out there? Obviously I guess we'll have to see the board to know, but I wonder if it will simply improve on tray mount, or will it give us a unique typing experience all together.

Nothing can be said to be superior. You'd better say it's pleasantly used by someone.

My first custom is plateless. Pretty easy on the fingers, and the sound profile sounds a little bit more pleasing.
This looks like an entirely different beast though.

Very interested in your leaf spring design and what that would bring to the feeling from this board.  I don't really want anymore 65% keyboards and would much prefer a 75% or TKL but I could be tempted into buying this to see what the design works like.

Great to see original thinking and design.

I hope this keyboard restores my faith in tray mounts! Can't wait to try it out!

Quick question: does the PCB support split-backspace and, if it doesn't, would you consider changing the PCB to accommodate split-backspace?

I can't tell if the flex toward the center is as much as the flex at the angles (inclination) and if the latter could cause issue with SA key caps, also: is the kind of flex and movement, that seems pivoting the center, useful for the typing experince aside of isolating maybe the sound of the caps from the case?

Hey guys! I'll be working with Geon in the next version of the Vanquish65 PCB.

I will stream the design process, starting this week in my Twitch channel (http://twitch.tv/gondolindrim_). Streams start everyday roughly at 9PM brazilian time (BRT).

Come hang out and have some nice PCB time  ;D

Slick curves on the front, looks like a great keyboard and very unique mounting type. Can't wait to see how it sounds!
Do you think you can add alps compatibility to the pcb too? If not, I totally understand.
