Alice style keyboard with Arrows - IC (GOTHIC70)

[worldspawn]

GB thread here: https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=102180.0 (LIVE)

I've been wanting an Alice style board for a while and couldn't find one with a layout I like, the Arisu board was close, so I've modified it to add some additional features and modified the case design for it.  Additions to the original Arisu PCB include adding USB-C, 3 indicator LEDs, an RGB strip header, and some extra keys (including an option for split or 2u backspace), as well as some general routing and component cleanup.

I figured since I'm going to be ordering a few, I'd see who else is interested in a board while I'm placing the orders.  PCB will come with SMD assembly done, just solder in switches and add stabilizers and keycaps.  This IC will be pretty fast, just want to get an idea of how many are interested, likely a week or two till it moves to GB.  Timeline would be shipping 2-3 months after GB close.  I've done a few of these and so far, they've gone pretty smoothly, so lets go! 

Please fill out my IC form here: https://forms.gle/evcYXP88idEHujK36

 Final price will probably be $115 USD for a complete kit or $45 for just a PCB
US shipping will be approximately $15, Canada $25, other international $35 (it's about 2.5 lbs)  Approximately half those prices for just a PCB shipping.

I have the completed and working prototypes on hand and have confirmed that the board and firmware work fine. Photos below are hardwired due to the USB port being backordered, the final version will have a USBC port on the board.

Very cool! Good luck worldspawn, this'll kill like everything you do, no doubt

Filled for pcb. Would be interested in your files for the case so we can cut them in our own desired materials and so on.

Yeah, I can share the case files once the GB is closed, and I can ship to US proxies.  PCB only shipping would also be a fair bit cheaper than the kit since it's probably less than 8oz, should put international shipping at $13

I'm sorry for not talking about GB, but could you tell me what is the keycap in the 3rd image?
It is very attractive.

While at it remove extra b key and move 6 key to right hand side where it belongs.

No

I'd say that the 6 is one of those keys, just like the B, that some people press with left hand and some with right hand. I usually see both of them on left sides of the keyboard though.

Yeah, if there's interest, I could do a full POM case for a $25 upgrade, POM plate would likely be a $5 upgrade, there may be small surface defects/scratches in the POM as it does not come with protective film like acrylic does.

Added a full POM option to the IC form.

POM doesn't come with protective film like acrylic and some other plastics do, the white requires either addition of film, or cleaning after cutting to remove the staining from the cut process, and that adds considerable processing time, so I generally try to avoid white.

It's a modified Arisu, so like, Arisu 2.0 or something

You could call it something like Alicesu or something similar

There will be 2x3mm bezel layers in the design with a hex standoff just below, probably 8-10mm should work fine.

Soon!  I'm finalizing some stuff with my PCB manufacturer with the silkscreen, hopefully some interesting stuff coming in the next couple days.  Plan is to go live with the GB next week.

A few answers to questions from the form:

>Is there anyway of having a stepped caps locks?
Yes, stepped caps has been added to the PCB options

>Will the final kit be hotswappable?
No, it will remain solder only, though you CAN use millmax 7305 sockets with it to make it hotswap yourself

>Would there be an option for a wrist rest?
Sorry, you're on your own here, I think that the angle is similar enough to the Alice to use a rest intended for it.

>maybe see aluminum in the future?
Possibly, I have contacts with a factory that could do the work, but I'd probably need some assistance with the CAD design, we'll see

>could you add led support?
It has underglow support via an RGB strip header, but I do not plan on adding per-key at this time

>pre-built option?
PM me and we can talk about assembly, really, the only thing you have to do is solder the switches in, the PCB is assembled.

>Is it possible to see more examples of all the different case colors?
I'll try to get a case cut in the clear and frosted material soon for comparison!

Plate options: default is matching acrylic (included with the case), there will also be a black POM option, as well as the option for additional plates for $20(acrylic) or $25(POM).

Thanks everyone for your interest so far!

The bottom includes 2x 4mm holes for standard cone feet if you prefer an angle.

I've been refreshing the page constantly the past few days. I'm excited for this. Only question is what kind of switches do I put in it? ha

Hypothetically could I use the Arisu top layer with your PCB and case?

 I didn't change the board or case outer dimensions, but the bottom row has been slightly modified, you'd need to make small changes to the cutouts on the far left side where I swapped the 1.5 for  2x 1.25s, other than that, it's just leaving the rest of the locations unpopulated.

EDIT, I'll throw in the footprint option for the original 1.5 on that side so if you want to go full original Arisu layout, you may do so.

[worldspawn]

Skickat från min ONEPLUS A6013 via Tapatalk

No, as the right edge of the ANSI enter and pipe key are not aligned, it is not possible to add ISO support.

[worldspawn]

Board name is now GOTHIC70

Silk art has been added, looks like fab can do matte black soldermask and red silk.

[crosscutgymnast]

So i’ll be able to do either 1.5 or 2x1.25 ? And then I can just modify the plate and top layer basically

I believe my plan is to go live with the GB next week, and it will be open for 2 weeks or until it hits 100 boards, if there's a lot more interest, I'll probably run a round 2 as well a few months later.  Target is to have the R1 boards done and shipped in october/november.

Super hyped now for the GB. What vendors do you have planned?

[saesh]

Can someone please enlighten me what POM is and why I would want it over an acrylic case? Sorry, total noob as far as materials go.

[worldspawn]

>Can someone please enlighten me what POM is and why I would want it over an acrylic case?

POM is denser and softer than other polymer materials such as acrylic or polycarbonate, it tends to give both a softer typing experience and dampens noise better.

>What vendors do you have planned?

I sell through my own storefront on Etsy (yeah I know, but it's an easy to use platform that has good payment processing options)

Since the GB thread is not up I have a couple of questions for here. How many layers is the case made of and what thickness? I assume the plate layer is 1.5mm. I am thinking about going POM, are there any pics of what the black pom looks like?

Edit: Ok so I see on etsy its listed as 3mm plate. Is there a way to prevent the plate from sliding down the switches since they don't clip in?

Correct, layers are all 3mm, best way to keep the switches seated is to add the plate foam, it takes up the remaining 2mm of space and prevents the switches from sliding up.

Black POM looks almost exactly like black acrylic except it's going to be slightly less glossy and probably have small scratches on it, POM does not come with protective paper on it, so it frequently has small scratches from the factory.

Ok good to know on the foam I will be sure to add that as well. I will be doing pom plate, but I am in between doing pom or acrylic for the rest of the case.

If I select top frosted black and the bottom frosted clear (for RBG diffusion, although RGB is meh, but if it's there...) how many layers is each?
As for the plate, with a black top, I'm assuming best go with black plate?

Also, I'm from Canada, what's you experience with customs? Do you label it as "DIY kit" I don't know if that would change anything..

Thanks!

 The frosted layers will replace the one top or bottom layer of the case, the total case layers with plate is 6, there will still be just 6 layers in the package with the options.  Yes, best to select the matching color plate, unless you want a visible stripe in the case edge, which some people may want.

I label international packages as a 'keyboard kit' and list wholesale value, customs is not usually an issue.

PCB will come with SMD assembly done, just solder in switches and add stabilizers and keycaps.

Black POM does not look significantly different from black acrylic. The outside cut edges will look the same, the surface will not be glossy and may have surface scratches as POM is not covered with protective paper like Acrylic is and usually shows some minor defects from the factory, the surface will look similar to this:

So sad, I want the black pom(upgraded price I can't afford The moment), but don't get paid until Friday. I'm pretty sure I'll end up missing this

I have already bought but am curious as to why the GB post hadn't been approved yet?

My guess is the mods missed it. I ended up just buying it as well instead of waiting

How did you already buy it? Link?

He mentioned he was using Etsy to sell. I googled Etsy gothic70. When I bought it Esty wouldn't shut up about how 20 other people had this in their cart lol and that I had to hurry. I hate pressure tactics!

Lol, sorry about the Etsy stuff, no way for me to turn it off 

make sure to get all 3 parts!

No worries! It was a comment about Etsy, not you! Keep up the good work! I can't wait! Ordered full frost acrylic with white pom

>Will the final kit be hotswappable?
No, it will remain solder only, though you CAN use millmax 7305 sockets with it to make it hotswap yourself

Do you know if Mill-Max 0305 would also work? I can't seem to get 7305s in Europe for a reasonable price.

They should work OK, they're longer and stick up more from the top of the board, but I don't think that should cause any issues with the design, you may need to put some foam or something on both sides of the PCB to keep it from moving around with the sockets since it isn't designed for hotswap.

Alright, thanks for the tip!

Hi Anyone know if I can still purchase a spare PCB? Just bought a gothic 70 second hand and would love to have a spare one. Thanks!

I'll be selling the extra PCBs once the GB orders ship.
