Do you have any affiliation with keeb.io
It'd be good to see an official yes from keebio.Unlikely, but truth be told, if you manage to have them as the US vendor it will greatly boost this post.

I really hope you get enough interest for this to take off, I use a different split keyboard, but have put off picking up a Quefrency, due to the lack of case options.
The idea is nice but...
> Would like to have various plate and weight options, which will depend on interest and demand.
Thick brass plates are not pleasant to type on. I'd try to model out this now, whilst you're at this stage. Cater for what you are looking for in a project first, before designing purely based on community feedback.
This was the kind of board I was looking for, the side is great for novelties. Best of luck with the IC!
What's the estimated cost for this guy? I'm super interested, as I want to build my GF a premium split that doesn't stink, and I'd rather support keeb.io than whoever made the Taobao VE.A Clone.
Would you consider top mount instead of sandwich mount?

Nope, just a guy who really likes split keyboards. :)
Would you consider top mount instead of sandwich mount?
I would, but for the current revision the fundamentals are already done. Will consider a top mount and/or gasket mount option for the potential next run.

I’ll be in for that round!
Is there a discord server for this?
Made an account just to keep an eye on this, definitely interested.Thanks, it means a lot. :)
"Quefrency"..... That is quite an unfortunate name. it is not... 69nice.I'm unsure what you mean. Care to elaborate?

Not yet. Still in early design phase, but discussions are ongoing for a possible collaboration, will hopefully post an update here this week.Made an account just to keep an eye on this, definitely interested.Thanks, it means a lot. :)"Quefrency".....

The board is not exactly 69nice level of goodness because it is a plain rectangle with little to appeal other than that is a split case for a good split board, if this was not split, I would have 0 interest in the design"Quefrency".....

Sorry for the noob question - would you design it such that it's possible to use the plate that we already have from keebio? (:
This looks great. Watching with interest!Thanks! Look forward to updated renders this week!
Please sir, one for the Sinc too?I have been thinking of making one for the Iris and why not for the Sinc too.
With you on this, keep things simple and organizedSorry for the noob question - would you design it such that it's possible to use the plate that we already have from keebio? (:
Do you mean the pcb or the actual switch plate?
The switch plate no, because there will be allignment bits on the top plate and case that will notch into the channels on the switch plate. But you'll get a new plate with the case!This looks great.

But one thing at a time, let's see how the Quefrency will go. :)
Updated render is very nice, adds a little something without being too much, out of interest what will be the typing angle of the case?
Typing angle is 4,2 degrees, adding a possibility to increase it with bumpons if one requires a steeper angle.
I think the nice low typing angle is one of the big draws for this idea.
I'd love some weights that change the angle to 0 degrees or even negative tilt but that might be too many options for a single group buy.

Ah alright! I was wondering if I'd have to resolder what I already have. I've always wanted an alu case for my quefrency, so I'll keep an eye on this project! Not a big fan of brass plate though so I'll be super psyched to see how this develops. Though I know the plan is a sandwich so it's hard to change it out into a different material. Just thinking of how stiff it will be scares me a little. My bottom-out fingers are already trembling.
be carefull with the 4,5mm plate.
ask to your supplier which are the standard size for brass.
probably the 5mm exist. they have to mill all the plate to 4,5mm, then complete the cnc work.
(that means that a 5mm plate will be less expensive to a 4,5mm plate)
will the plate be fully milled or water/laser cutted and then milled? check the minimun radius your supplier can reach by milling.
the top part (as showed in pictures) may be laser/water cutted, adding later hole and thread.
if you want a chamfer on top this will drastically change the price.
when you design a components keep in mind how it will be made ;)
Just a thought looking at the renders - the tolerances around the sockets seem quite tight, which might cause an issue for people that use mill-max sockets.

Super excited for this! A good case is the only thing keeping me from going full endgame on my Quefrency.
Do you think it’ll work with the upcoming rev4 PCBs? They’re being upgraded to Kailh hotswap sockets at stock.
Just a thought looking at the renders - the tolerances around the sockets seem quite tight, which might cause an issue for people that use mill-max sockets.
The tolerances take into account max mill sockets.
In addition I have a board with Mill-Max 7305 sockets so I will be able to verify tolerances with the prototype.
Are the blank slots part of the final design?
For anyone lamenting the death of this project, the Keebio owner is slowly doing alu cases for boards. Did their macropad, is currently prototyping Iris, and said in a comment to me a while back Quefrency is next.
