[IC] Fox Lab Leaf 80 (updated on 08/06)
« on: Sun, 22 July 2018, 10:16:44 »




Leaf 80 is yet another TKL keyboard case design after Orange TKL and Time TKL.

The case itself was designed to be simple. PCB will be A87 or B87 standard. ALPS support TBD.

We may introduce several brand new colors if this GB is doable. Several prototypes have been finished and are ready for anodizing. I will post photos here when I get them.

Sorry for the brief introduction. Any comments/suggestions?

Love the colors, the salmon and the yellow especially. One suggestion is to make the weight substantial or make the case heavy. I have the Time and the resonance in it due to being relatively light is only thing I would like to see improved.

Cool colors in the renders--especially the pink and the light cyan; I like the leaf weight.

Cool design. Would definitely appreciate some "natural" colors:

- Olive Green
- Autumn Leaf tan (red/brown/bronze)
- Algae Green
- a vivid red

I too like the light cyan color as well.

Love the color choices for the renders and the leaf weight. The salmon pink/ yellow is my favorite. I do second the option that olive green, autumn colors would look good for the theme.

Of course not. Most of the commonly used 80% layouts will be supported.

Thanks for the suggestions. The weight actually is not as small as it seems like. Most portion of the weight is hidden inside the bottom housing.

In addition to those colors I think a dark green case with bright pink plate/weight would look amazing!
