The Cajal is a 45% hotswap keyboard with a detached arrow cluster, a prominent volume knob, and an RGB underglow ring. It's heaviest configuration weighs 5lbs, making it one of the heaviest boards for its size. This keyboard is a culmination of all the features that were requested from the Neuron GB, along with some new design features that haven't yet been implemented in a sub-60% keyboard. I have added programmable indicator lights and gasket mounting system using stoppers to adjust the compression on nitrile tabs attached to the plate in 4 places. With only four plate attachment points, the Cajal was designed to permit flex in bendier plate materials while still providing a cushioned bottom out on a brass plate. By changing plate material, gasket hardness (40A soft or 70A hard), and gasket compression tightness, users will be able to tailor their experience to their preferences. Prepare your wallets for June 1st!



About the Name
More
The Cajal is named after Santiago Ramón y Cajal (1852-1934), the father of modern neuroscience. His studies of the brain were crucial to the discovery that the nervous system consists mainly of individual cells, a theory called neuron doctrine. For this discovery, he was honored with the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1906. His contributions to neuroanatomy and detailed drawings of neural structures are still relevant to our understanding of the nervous system more than a hundred years later. In addition to his scientific discoveries, Cajal was a writer of science fiction short stories under the name “Dr. Bacteria”, a bodybuilder in his younger years, a talented painter and artist, a doctor in the Spanish Army, and as a child, was briefly imprisoned in a local church for blowing a hole in his neighbor’s front door with a homemade cannon. This keyboard is a minor tribute to his brilliance.

I like it a lot. Is the right shift a 1.25u? My only complaint would be if that was something other than a 1u there (my preference is a 1u ?/). Other renders make it look like a 1u slot, so I can’t tell.

haha no, you're on your own for cables. no way i can get a BT signal out of this dense lad, but yes the PCB is QMK-compatible. worldspawn will write the firmware once we get the proto PCBs.

hey, let's not pigeonhole the man.

yes, and i'll throw a KLE in the post when i get home.

Gladly! the more we sell the cheaper I can price it for GB participants. I have to warn you though; they're 25mm, so they're too big to be used in regular switch spacing and probably most other boards.

Yeah, same.
You already broke the golden rule of 40% by keeping the arrow cluster. Might as well keep the quote key. Too useful for the English language.

hey! i see there is a clamoring in the thread for "full alphas" (i.e. another column to the right of ;/:). while i hear what you are saying, this probably won't happen with this project, for the following two reasons. first, the demand for this in the interest check form is quite low. 744 people have filled out the form so far (insane), and only 7 have requested something along these lines. to scale this interest, 11 people have requested I make a 65% and 14 have requested a 60% in the form. this means democratically, it isn't something most people interested in the board want added, and pales in comparison to requests for ortholinear support (~60) and a polycarbonate case option (~50), both of which i am working on adding to the final buy. second, i am planning to roll out a 50% or larger layout after i run this board, so i think that might be more interest for those who think of 'incomplete alphas' as a no-go. there is still a lot to explore in ~50% layouts, and i have some ideas i want to try after Neuron and Cajal, so my advice is just stay tuned and u shouldn't have to wait more than a few months for something that would match your preferences without compromise.

have a polycarbonate render for your time. <3

First thank you for listening carefully to what folks say.
I believe 45% size is more concentrated on pure typing experience and I believe full alpha will serve the purpose even better.
I didn't show the interest explicitly assuming dimension involved changing at this stage is hard and I think there could be many people who thought like me.
But if you are OK with the change if there is enough interest, I'm in for full alpha.
I believe you may see different result if you have another IC form to choose between full alpha and traditional 45% layout.
I guess asking for 60, 65% is more like asking blue out of red while 45% full alpha is orange.
I would wait for your next project for larger size keyboard.

Just sayin', but using responses to a completely open-ended question to gauge relative interest in unspecified features is going to potentially give you staggeringly inaccurate results. If you actually care about doing it "democratically" (which tbh it's fine if you don't), you should be polling on specific layouts. Otherwise you might end up with a scenario where, say, a majority would prefer Layout A but assumed it wouldn't be on the table so there was no point in asking, while fans of Layout B, while fewer in number, were more bold about requesting it.

It could be that your initial assumptions are right; but there are just too many factors in play to be at all certain about the relevance of responses to an open-end that open-ended.

Wow, very unique board. Full alphas would be interesting, but I understand if it would be too much of a design change to implement here. In any case I'll be waiting warmly for your future designs.

Out of curiosity, would it be possible to assemble this board without the diffuser? Any ortho renders inc?

unfortunately i think it is, and since we are at 759 responses to the IC form as of this moment, i am not eager to alter a design that has received such an overwhelmingly warm response. like i said in an earlier response, if you're someone with whom full alphas are a dealbreaker, the 50% i will release after this should fit your preferences better. the goal of the Cajal project was to produce a premium 45%, and i feel i have achieved that goal.

Out of curiosity, would it be possible to assemble this board without the diffuser? Any ortho renders inc?

because the diffuser is part of the usb-c hole, it might compress the connector if you omit it, but i can check this when the prototypes arrive and perhaps alter the design slightly to accommodate it. no ortho renders at the moment, but i should complete the ortho plate design this weekend, submit for prototypes early next week, and get some renders ready in a week or two :)

not at the moment, but i might send a reminder email to those who have filled out the IC when the full GB opens. i am also building a website to facilitate sales of the Neuron GB extras and coordinate the Cajal GB, as well as put up other resources such as QMK libraries, layouts and general info. so with that might come a discord, we will see.

I can say from experience that a 45% is a good transition from a full size or 60% to a small form factor, probably my favorite layout for straight typing actually.

It uses the typical 40s caps, 1.25 R3 tab, 1.75 R3 enter, 1u R2 esc, 1.75 and 1.25 R4 shifts, 2.25 and 2.75 split space bars, other keys are normal.

Very nice! Only Hotswap PCB available? I want a soldered PCB.

+1 to soldered pcb

i can look into this as well. i want to prioritize offering a hotswap PCB in the GB so it is accessible to new people in the hobby, but a solderable PCB is definitely a possibility.

Not sure how different sandblasted brass and champagne gold are, but a champagne gold would be a nice color. For either the knob or case. I'm pretty set on the blue, but a champagne gold would make me reconsider.

It can do full grid, 2u bar, and 7u bar according to the KLE he posted earlier in the thread.

hey! i see there is a clamoring in the thread for "full alphas" (i.e. another column to the right of ;/:). while i hear what you are saying, this probably won't happen with this project, for the following two reasons. first, the demand for this in the interest check form is quite low. 744 people have filled out the form so far (insane), and only 7 have requested something along these lines. to scale this interest, 11 people have requested I make a 65% and 14 have requested a 60% in the form. this means democratically, it isn't something most people interested in the board want added, and pales in comparison to requests for ortholinear support (~60) and a polycarbonate case option (~50), both of which i am working on adding to the final buy. second, i am planning to roll out a 50% or larger layout after i run this board, so i think that might be more interest for those who think of 'incomplete alphas' as a no-go. there is still a lot to explore in ~50% layouts, and i have some ideas i want to try after Neuron and Cajal, so my advice is just stay tuned and u shouldn't have to wait more than a few months for something that would match your preferences without compromise.

have a polycarbonate render for your time. <3
(Attachment Link)

First thank you for listening carefully to what folks say.
I believe 45% size is more concentrated on pure typing experience and I believe full alpha will serve the purpose even better.
I didn't show the interest explicitly assuming dimension involved changing at this stage is hard and I think there could be many people who thought like me.
But if you are OK with the change if there is enough interest, I'm in for full alpha.
I believe you may see different result if you have another IC form to choose between full alpha and traditional 45% layout.
I guess asking for 60, 65% is more like asking blue out of red while 45% full alpha is orange.
I would wait for your next project for larger size keyboard.


What is the point of having a board the size of a sixty but less functional, just for the sake of how it looks. One more time, to each its own.

Not sure if adding one extra key for each row here makes the size of 60. Should be the width of 65 minus 1 row just like 65 is the with of 75 minus 1 row.
If you consider losing number row from 65 is losing function, I don't agree because we will not lose any function just like we don't lose any function from 75 when down-sizing to 65.
I didn't know existence of 50% concept so technically asked him to change 45% to 50 or 55% and then realized there will another 50ish project from walletburner then stopped asking waiting for the project.
I wish his next version has 65% minus # row, all the features that Kajal has + BT and HotSwap PCB.
I'm definitely in for that project.

when i think "champagne gold", i think of basically the color that sandblasted brass is. i would probably only do one or the other, leaning towards brass because it might feel better because of its mass.

How does the gasket + stoppers system work?

4.4 lbs though

basically the plate is sandwiched between adhesive-backed nitrile strips, then attached to the case via a screw that goes through a hole in the trapezoidal stoppers through a slit in the plate to attach it to the case. it isn't a design style that has been tried yet (to my knowledge), but i think it will allow people to adjust their gasket tension to their preferences. i will take pictures when the prototypes arrive :)

it's a pretty long ways out. i am about to ship Neuron, then i will focus on Cajal, then ??. but i have some preliminary designs for a 50% that i will share here on GH when the timing is right..

I fully understand the nature of GB. Good luck with the GB and keep us posted on your next projects. Kajal looks pretty stunning still. I will likely regret I miss this GB but can’t afford another board that is pretty but I rarely use, for now :)

Absolutely.

[attachimg=1]

Work on an ortho PCB is ongoing, but the ortho plate was designed over the holidays. Considering brass and POM as possible ortho plate materials. Will support 1u x 2, 2u, and 7u spacebar, with the 7u meaning it needs to be a solderable PCB not hotswap. Unlike Neuron, I am thinking I will just make the ortho plate and PCB available for the same price than as an add-on item, so people who want the Cajal in ortho configuration order won't need to spend more.

I guess there's no chance of a PCB that supports both normal stagger and ortho, huh?
I'm that weirdo who wants the combination of ortho alpha and normal mods :)
Anyway this lookds great. Hope it will be out soon.

@ideus

It is my understanding based on the other boards this creator has done and uses that this is NOT a 65% that has had functionality removed to be replaced by "art". I guess that is what you meant by the screenshot of the Venus de Milo. I believe this board is a 40% that has been expanded to include a little more functionality than a typical 40 would have, including some "art". Please correct me if I am wrong, but I believe your argument is based on a perspective that a line should be drawn for keyboards based on the physical size as much as the number of keys in an attempt to conserve precious space. Something we all value in MK, I think. But I believe this board is an attempt to be a larger 40% (45%) rather than smaller 60/65% board, to strike a balance between form and function that is unique.

I think I understand your perspective and I don't disagree with it. If I were interested in this board but really wanted it to be 60/65% I would feel just as you do. In fact I have felt that way before. However, as someone who has always looked at a 40% and felt there was always something missing from the layout, I look at this board as the perfect balance between design and use. I can get all the functionality I truly need and the design is pleasing as well. Thank you, ideus, for giving me something interesting to think about, happy to read your reply if you write.

I regret my post, so I apologize with the OP for tread-crapping his IC. The board is beautiful and for people that like the format is a great opportunity to get one of the best 40 designs available. I am typing this on a 50 percent board that I like; yet, I think that it is a bit frustrating at times, when a shifted function is needed frequently. Anyways, I hope this IC gets successful.

The thing is, PCB layouts are always a sensitive topic, since you're essentially asking everyone to pay more to support YOUR configuration and not theirs. Ortho alphas with normal mods would a very niche keyboard.

I hope you understand what you are really asking of OP *and* everyone here.

This is said in jest by the way. Just pointing out what's been raised in other threads.

@nguyenhimself

I definitely understand wanting non standard options on a board or a keyset. None of my desires for layouts are 100% compatible with anything I've seen so far so I have to use blanks and such. People always suggest to me that I should try to get my own IC started to create just the perfect board or keyset that I would want and see if everyone else is just as interested enough to make it a GB. I may do it one day. Sounds like work though, ROFL.

I totally get what @psxndc is saying too. MK is kinda already niche as it is right, so listening to what the majority of the community wants is vital to be successful.

In another IC, Ngyuen and I had a contentious back and forth because I asked the runner to add a key for Minivan support (where minivan was one of the renders). Ngyuen said I was placing a burden on the community by forcing those without minivans to pay for my one minivan key. Then they asked OP here to support ortho alphas and normal mods on the PCB - literally changing the PCB design. I just thought it was a funny/surprising ask here given their stance on adding a single keycap in another IC, so I quoted their own post back to them as a joke.

actually the board has received an extremely warm response, with >1200 IC form responses in under 2 months, and 3 prototypes are currently under production. the layout is not changing at this point. if you want a 50%, I guess you'll have to either buy a TMO50 or wait for my next project. i hope you find what you're looking for.

Absolutely.

(Attachment Link)

Work on an ortho PCB is ongoing, but the ortho plate was designed over the holidays. Considering brass and POM as possible ortho plate materials. Will support 1u x 2, 2u, and 7u spacebar, with the 7u meaning it needs to be a solderable PCB not hotswap. Unlike Neuron, I am thinking I will just make the ortho plate and PCB available for the same price than as an add-on item, so people who want the Cajal in ortho configuration order won't need to spend more.

Damn, this really does look perfect. It's a similar layout to what I'm rocking.
Any way of convincing you into a hotswap PCB instead of purely soldered one for Ortho? :))

Also, what do you think the timeline is for this to go into GB stages, or at least final configurations (i.e colors and options)?

Looking forward to throwing my wallet's contents at ya

because of the stabilizers for 2u and 7u spacebar, the bottom row can't be hotswap, and if the bottom row will need to be soldered, my current thinking is that we should just make the whole PCB solderable. the question of making the top 3 rows hotswap and the bottom row solderable has been brought up elsewhere, but to me this is a half-measure. the good news w a solderable non-hotswap PCB is that the ortho PCB should also support ALPS. we were going to make it choc switch compatible as well, but i sunk the plate so far that the top of the choc caps wont even come up to the sides of the case  :D

as for timeline, as i said above, 3x prototypes are being made now (2 alu, 1 PC). once they get here i will do QC and see if another iteration of prototypes are necessary, or give everyone a "final update" on here and r/mechmarket. looking at maybe April-ish for GB opening, depending on the things above. i'll give a reasonable few weeks notice before opening, and will probably send out an email to everyone who fills out the IC form when it's open.

Last question I got for you, is the polycarb version finale? And will we have the option to choose color combos with the Knob, or would it come as a singular kit/option?

hey yall! i'm happy to announce e-white will be offered as a color in this GB. prototypes in pink polycarbonate, Space Grey, and Bushido Red are almost complete, and i am hoping for a ship date to me sometime next week. there will be (hopefully) at least one month's notice given before the GB runs, which will run on Walletburner.co for simplicity. with coronavirus affecting not just manufacturing but also deeply affecting many customers' lives, i will be monitoring the situation globally and making a decision about when to launch accordingly after the kinks are worked out with the prototypes. stay safe!

Post by: konstantin on Wed, 25 March 2020, 12:29:02
Thanks, I must've missed that. In that case, I agree with the following sentiments:

first, the demand for this in the interest check form is quite low. 744 people have filled out the form so far (insane), and only 7 have requested something along these lines. to scale this interest, 11 people have requested I make a 65% and 14 have requested a 60% in the form. this means democratically, it isn't something most people interested in the board want added, and pales in comparison to requests for ortholinear support (~60) and a polycarbonate case option (~50), both of which i am working on adding to the final buy.

Just sayin', but using responses to a completely open-ended question to gauge relative interest in unspecified features is going to potentially give you staggeringly inaccurate results. If you actually care about doing it "democratically" (which tbh it's fine if you don't), you should be polling on specific layouts. Otherwise you might end up with a scenario where, say, a majority would prefer Layout A but assumed it wouldn't be on the table so there was no point in asking, while fans of Layout B, while fewer in number, were more bold about requesting it.

It could be that your initial assumptions are right; but there are just too many factors in play to be at all certain about the relevance of responses to an open-end that open-ended.

I believe you may see different result if you have another IC form to choose between full alpha and traditional 45% layout.

+1 for 2×2u ortho.

With ortho we can get those full alphas, and 2×2u makes it just a tad more usable.

Right. That's not going to stop people from wanting to use a board whose design they like in a manner that's most convenient for them. :P

But then why come into an IC and ask for a change that is completely different than what the designer is looking to do?  Adding another column or row or whatever COMPLETELY changes the design of nearly every aspect of the board including the case.  Asking for Ortho, while still annoying IMO, is a little less intrusive because the 1U setup fits almost everything anyway. 

It's one thing to come into an IC and say "This isn't for me, but it looks nice."  It's completely asinine and bonkers to come into an IC and ask for a completely different layout that will literally change dimensions on a board.

Kindly read my post again. I did not ask for an extra column on this board, but on a potential future version/round of the design. The fact that I agree with some of the comments on how the IC form was conducted and interpreted also has nothing to do with asking for design changes to this board.

Since the designer has stated that they will be releasing a 50% board in the future, this discussion can be put to rest. For the time being, I care more about the possibility of having 2×2u ortho on this board, as that would make it more usable for me and thus turn it into a potential purchase.

sure, i dont see why not. i'll shoot for a new round of renders to coincide w GB launch but it's more likely you'll see pics of the protos before you see those renders.

Also, any updates on 2x2u support on ortho, by any chance? That one im still crossing fingers for!

i'll have to check again but my understanding is this will smash right into some of the existing stab cutouts. will send an update if it's doable.

let's all stay frosty out there. i am working on plenty of side-projects for after or during Cajal, and when those boards are IC'd, id be happy to discuss them. for now, let's keep this focused on this board as it is and what features you'd like added that don't require a complete redesign.

impossible on the staggered version due to the hotswap sockets, but definitely going in the ortho version. you'll need a 1.2mm plate made by laserboost. as with all my projects, plate files will be avail after the GB.

oi, if it's the stabs for the 1x2u layout I wouldn't mind forgoing it altogether haha, closer to your original staggered design anyhow  ;) :p

No but I do hope it works out somehow, this is legit as close as endgame could ever get for me in ortho layouts

That's pretty tight. Yeah. Theyre just no longer produced. Harder to find. Expensive, depending on what your looking for. Honestly it's a cool experiment for someone whose never used them before, and a go-to for someone who has and really liked them. But MX switches are great too.

Understandable if not; I'm likely in the minority with this one.

unlikely in R1 due to hotswap, but the design choice to go with split spacebar was because sub-50%s really benefit from having one split spacebar as an easily accessible Fn key. it really opens up the layout and makes a 2 as easy to type as a capital T. since this is basically just an elaborated Neuron, I went with the most popular configuration of that board, but perhaps a full-size spacebar solderable PCB in the future (or R2) will make that possible.

Forgot to mention in my google form but +1 for non-hotswap PCB option, even if i have to pay extra :D

unlikely for staggered layout, but offered on the ortho PCB. If the feel is off while daily driver testing the staggered PCB, the design choice will change, but offering 3 PCBs is just too much lol.


Hauntingly beautiful ... rly eta? :)

I just received 3 prototypes (1 x Space Grey, 1 x Bushido Red, 1 x Cotton Candy Pink PC) for testing and evaluation. Assuming there aren't any issues with fit, feel, or function, the biggest unknown right now is the international coronavirus pandemic. While I do not anticipate issues with production, I know many people whose jobs are completely evaporating at the moment, and I would hate for the group-buy to coincide with a time of financial and social insecurity for people who have watched and supported this project from the beginning. I will keep a keen eye on things and make a decision after testing.

e-white = electrophoresis

powder coating isn't very favoured in keyboards given the thickness of the coating on the product, and how to make it work you need to plug the screw holes which is just excess effort for a worse finish

There are too many nice boards, caps and switches recently even to catch up reading for.
Either Cajal or Adelie will be my very last board in a few years otherwise my wife will sell my organs if I don't.
I just hope the GB starts soon and I can get one, then all my agony will fly away because I'll shut down all keeb related accounts.
Good luck with you too.  ;)

With a GB date announcement on the near horizon (hypehypehype), I have to say that based on the IC results, the aluminum colors will likely be Bushido Red, Space Grey, Blue Steel, and E-White. Cool Ranch had the frostiest response in terms of numbers, so it won't be available on this round. As for polycarbonate; the polycarbonate and aluminum prototypes both feel fantastic and either could be safely made. Initially I was worried about polycarbonate cracking under the strain, but testing has revealed this isn't an issue. A polycarbonate version is still contingent on a final (post-covid19 starting) quote from the factory prior to GB launch, and I am awaiting those numbers now. If both can be offered at a reasonable price, I will offer a PC version alongside the aluminum case version, with Clear or Cotton Candy Pink PC available. I'll let everyone know soon :) Thanks for your overwhelming support on this project; the positive response has been staggering.  :thumb:

Geographic location and the performance of the hosting server contribute toward the speed too.
If the server cannot handle the people hitting the landing page for bookmark, it will definitely impact more remote GBers during the rush hour.
Also when the number is limited, people in different time zone will have less chance to get in from various reasons.
It's not to complain to you buddy and thanks for the information.
I just hope Cajal is not that much popular to think about the situation or the missing last letters bother me until the end of the GB  ;D
Good luck all.

If the server cannot handle the people hitting the landing page for bookmark, it will definitely impact more remote GBers during the rush hour.
Also when the number is limited, people in different time zone will have less chance to get in from various reasons.
It's not to complain to you buddy and thanks for the information.
I just hope Cajal is not that much popular to think about the situation or the missing last letters bother me until the end of the GB  ;D
Good luck all.
I live in South America and it was fine, but expecting a lot more traffic when GB date.
Just don't sleep in and I think you'll be fine:)

Is there an explanation for how a 45% keyboard works? Like, a link to how to type numbers?. Maybe I'm just retarded

the core idea is that using layers triggered by modifiers and fn keys, you can minimize the number of keys down to bare essentials and minimize how far your hands need to move to type what you need. an 8 is as easy to type on my preferred layout on 40%s as a capital K. it's a different way of typing that minimizes that "hunt-and-peck" moment when you have to be think "ah ****, is ^ on the 4 or the 6" by allowing you to construct a set of layers where you know exactly where it is without looking down. it isn't for everyone, but it's just a bit further down the road than the compromises people make when they move from like a TKL to a 60% keyboard. i write code and daily driver the keyboards that i create, and now all of my keyboards are 50% layouts or smaller. like everything in this community, it's down to preference :)

my bottom row is punctuation on the second layer of most of my layouts, and left spacebar is always my Fn key. that way with left space and maaybe shift I can do everything I need to. I hover around 90-100WPM without difficulty. What are your layouts like?

First time sub-HHKB so having hard time imagining the best make-sense-for-myself layout while I use the missing letters quite frequently.
For me, downsizing is more to remove infrequently used keys instead of better reachability.
Maybe 'fn+right side mod = missing letter' is what I should go with.
If I didn't lose those ones, I was thinking having the left space as backspace and control keys as second layer for fn and num keys, which makes perfect sense for me.
That's why I asked you if you can add those at the very beginning of this IC.
Still Cajal is too attractive so I'm also thinking, if I don't get accustomed to this layout, let's just hang it on the wall  :thumb:
Are you working hard on your next 50+% board?

my just right and your just right might not be the same; you'll learn the most about what makes sense for you by doing. i definitely recommend getting a cheap 3d printed or sandwich case 40s in a layout you like and trying it out. you'll figure out what you like and don't about some of the more exotic layouts much faster and cheaper in the long run, and who doesn't need more boards?

next project to be determined. i will be focusing on the task at hand until after the GB closes.

Fwiw, I still tweak my layout almost daily and I've been working on it for about a year.

I've got a Gherkin that I use on occasion, and I have a layout that is totally usable for me (for writing code).  It's just a bit too cramped to make it my daily driver, as I've had to make some compromises that reduce effectiveness, like introducing tap-dance functionality, which slows you down if you're not careful enough.  I don't have anything in between that and 60% at the moment, but I'm thinking that the ortho layout here will feel absolutely luxurious by comparison.  :D

ortho is very much still supported, and has a separate solderable PCB, brass or POM plates available, and the KLE of available layouts can be found in the first post of this IC, which has been kept updated. site is currently being renovated, and its text hasn't been updated in a while. information here is accurate, and you can even find some pictures of the ortholinear prototype earlier in this thread and on my instagram (walletburnerkb). i'll update the website today! thanks for bringing it to my attention.

oh this is not a travel board haha the aluminum is about 5lbs with the brass knob and the polycarbonate is about 3.9lbs. i'll try to take a good pic tomorrow of it next to my collection, since the sun is going down, and with it, the good lighting in my apartment. i've never found the "40%s are for travel" designation particularly convincing, and perhaps that is one reason why i make my boards so heavy they feel like they're about to collapse in and form a small star. pics tomorrow :-)

Ah good to hear you're testing polycarb as well. The diffuser layer seem'd a little moot with the polycarb version of the board, but if you're doing a polycarb layer as well it works out. Thanks for the quick reply :)

no one has asked yet! yeah so the front edge is about 19.5mm but that could be misleading due to the top chamfer depth and how sunken the keys are relative to the case height. the front edge of the switchplate on the bottom row is about 15.5mm, and the highest point on the case above the top row is about 31.5mm. it's a chonky boi but because the keys are so sunken in, it still maintains a comfortable typing height.

This. I spray have a red board and the other colors just aren’t fitting with I got caps. Black with cyber space would have made this a no brainer for me. I hope do a R2 with black or something.

Also, are there any aspect of the boards design itself that relate to Santiago Cajal or some aspect of his life? Or is it just in name alone?

Oh yeah duh . Well I don’t think I’ll be joining in on this group buy since they don’t have a black one which is the color I’d actually want for this board. Or maybe green... but yeah, if there’s a round 2 with different colors in the future I’m all in.

After a lot of thought and evaluating alternatives, the Cajal Group-Buy will be delayed until June 15th at 5pm CDT on Walletburner.co.

Key in this decision was the discovery that one member of my team who has gone incommunicado for weeks was recently diagnosed as Covid-19 positive, and is currently in intensive care. We hope they make a speedy recovery, as this was quite a shock. This turns of events unfortunately places a decent portion of the business side of the Cajal group-buy in peril/limbo as we scramble to discover what has and hasn't been properly filed and what needs to be redone. Two weeks will allow all this to be sorted in time. Downstream of this central issue, there are also several deadlines and stress points from my day job and personal life that will subside if we delay by 2 weeks. Taken together, the decision to delay is clear.

I also want to give an earnest Thank You to everyone who has been passionately following this project for months, watching and contributing to it taking shape, and diligently saving up to make the buy on Monday. I never thought this project would get such an overwhelmingly positive reception, and I think the quality in this keyboard is worth the wait. Sorry for the confusion and frustration this may cause! Trust me, I wouldn't be doing this unless it was absolutely necessary. See you in 16 days, 22 hours and 15 mins (approx.)!   :D

Aw man! The health of you and your crew is definitely top priority, and I hope for a speedy recovery too. Two week delay? That's nothing when it comes to keyboards!

It only comes with 1 knob, whichever you elect. However, there will be extra PCB, knob, plate, gaskets, etc for purchase.

Yes, that's right! Staggered plate = staggered PCB, ortho plate = ortho PCB.

Woohoo, got one in E-white! Tax seemed kind of high, but I guess it was about 8%. After getting the keyboard, an extra PCB, some extra plates/knobs, and a foam insert, tax ended up being about $50. :eek:

At least shipping was nice and cheap. I was a bit worried due to the weight.

Any chance there can be extras for maybe a PC bottom (To mix alu top with PC bottom) sometime in the future? I think it would look REALLY cool to have alu top and still see the brass weight/more underglow with a PC bottom. Granted, that's if the tolerances allow for it and there's enough demand I suppose, but I'd pay a little more for it if you had any extras. ;)

What's the email? I had a similar problem; but it was the fact that polycarbonate, polycarbonate pink, and e-white all showed as sold out while blue steel aluminum and bushido red were not. I ended up getting the blue steel but when I went back to the page it showed polycarb as in-stock; so I quickly grabbed that. Now hoping I can get the blue steel canceled :T

Just so everyone knows - there was an error where many more than 200 sets were bought (This may have contributed to some of the errors seen), but Cajal has said that's ok so I assume he will be fulfilling those out of kindness of his heart :). I'm sure he will send an update soon.

Haha, I actually had someone else also message me about taking the blue steel spot. I decided however that I will just keep both boards, and if I decide I only want one I can easily resell it since the board is so pretty. I emailed him hoping I can change one of the orders to a staggered layout with the polycarbonate plate since otherwise they both are using a brass ortho plate. Both the boards have that sick gold knob that I plan to keep though :P (would be neat if I could grab an extra knob in black but I guess those got taken down once the GB finished...).

Edit: got in contact with him and was able to modify my order :)
