Design
Klippe means Cliff in Norwegian. Based on the Klippe T(tray) by Mekanisk, the Klippe S has some considereable upgrades. It is bottom mount, with an isolation layer. It is mounted in a way that makes the typing experience even and has a richer sound. There is now also an option for blocked corners. Klippe S is designed for a firm and even typing experience.
Low starting height: 18mm (lowest on any Mekanisk board)
8 degree typing angle

Isolation
Standard isolation in form of a carbon fiber layer for the mounting plate to rest on. This does help elimitinating the potential for pinging and metallic sounds from the keyboard(which can occour on 2-part keyboards). All in all, it is an affordable way to ensure that the keyboard sounds like you want it to, without costing you more than necessary. It's nothing magic.

Typing experience
Klippe S has a firm and even typing experience by default, this is due to the plate resting around the whole case. You can adjust flex by customizing the plate and isolation.

Weight
Klippe S has no weight, however it weighs around 1.3 kg.

How to buy
As many of you know, I do not start out a new design by selling a large amount of units, then make the kits more available later. Initially there was going to be a raffle, however there might be some kind of FCFS in addition, or maybe just that. We have a little more time to figure this one out.
First round will have approximately 50 units. The next rounds will have more, and might have a different pricing, design and options.

When
Pre-order November 2019, maybe december. Shipping early 2020 or earlier.

Where
Mekanisk.co


Klippe S at the Oslo, Norway mechanical keyboard meetup, ultramarine color and GMK solarized dark

Disclaimers:
Pricing is not 100% finished, there will be some minor updates.

Hi. Yes. Thanks.

[jillsandwiched]

[juliandoucette]

Looking forward to it.

Will you open source the plate files? If so, and I cut my own plate, will it be compatible with a boardwalk PCB?

Looking good. I'm probably in for one

Any chance at a half plate since the included pcb has flex cuts in it?

Not this round, however if we have them in the future, they’ll be available for purchase standalone. It’s just some features and options we have to leave out, sadly.

[Rob27shred]

Wow, really liking the huge upgrades you done here while keeping the price reasonable, awesome work LeandreN! Might have to pick one up if I got the funds when this goes live. Nov. & Dec. are tough months to have the extra scratch in though.

[jinrawke]

It's definitely refreshing to see the price this low while it's almost becoming the norm for keyboards to be in the 500+ range.

[olazy]

any details on the pcb/layout? hot swap vs solderable? fixed layout or multi?

Thank you! Yes, it is a tough month for many, with Christmas coming up. It will run again later

any details on the pcb/layout? hot swap vs solderable? fixed layout or multi?

 

The PCB layout is the standard WT60-D layout. No hot swap. It supports ISO/ANSI/TSANGAN/HHKB.

Any chance you would consider FR4 plates for future rounds ?

This looks really good, can't wait to buy it. I'm still relatively new to custom keyboards, and I was wondering if i would be able to buy it... well obviously I'm going to buy it, but I'm not sure if there is going to be the raffle thing or whatever.

if you don't win, spend the extra cash and get one on mm, or wait for the second round

[despairsray]

This looks great. Are the bezels on the case a little fatter on these compared to the Klippe T or are they identical? Def interested even though I ordered the T recently.

[LeandreN]

Yes, the bezels are larger. This is mainly due to the plate resting around the entirety of the case.

I really like the dark blue color in the first picture but I don't see this option on your site. Will this be an option?

Not yet, as I don't have a good microphone which causes it to sound entirely different on video than in real life.

[Dakk1d]

Mekanisk TKL when?!

[LeandreN]

final prototype(s) arrived today, will build and test sound, maybe even record some.

[LeandreN]

Waiting on some last parts that will arrive next week.

I have finished up some decisions regarding the anodizing roughness, and I will color match all the way until production, to improve the colors(only the ultramarine sample is exactly as i want it).

I am also testing which plates are the best

Then we are ready to go with the pre order.

[DanBe]

Oh man I really wanted a Fjell but this is hard to not jump on 

[nathanchere]

Any chance of split space support with those plates you're testing..?

[LeandreN]

Any chance of split space support with those plates you're testing..?

No, that will not happen.

[LeandreN]

Here is a macro shot of the anodizing. The Ultramarine is finer and the Rose is rougher.

Rougher sandblasting makes it easier to match the top and the bottom, however after testing and comparing, I have decided to go with the finer sandblasting.

It has less trade offs in total, and will have a flatter color that will appear more even.

Thank you!

[Puddsy]

for anyone else who is confused, the preorder hasn't started yet and you didn't miss it

spoke to leandren earlier, he says that he's waiting for some samples to arrive (probably friday) and it should start not too long after that if all is well with those

[menuhin]

Gorgeous and clean design...!

Is it possible to have a custom-made Top to fit a True-HHKB layout (6u spacebar)?
Will it be an astronomical figure to do that or plain impossible?

There is totally no option out there for this very practical (aligns with the home-column hand/thumb positions) but asymmetrical layout.

[dumpling420]

Is this compatible with the 60% with arrowkeys layout? The one used by the DZ60.

He will give me feedback on all plate types/ mounting types before moving forward.

Price increased $10.

It will now have a badge under with the mountain so it is visible. I will create some renders later. This will be made in stainless steel.

We are VERY close to launch.

Hopefully the renders would prove the badge justice. I like the idea, though I wasn't fond of type X's badge. An engraved mountain logo however would look amazing IMO. regardless, I would still be joining this GB

What's the shipping option for Russia? I assume it's regular airmail, judging by price, but again, I want to be sure.

I've got an answer about opting out of PCB (not possible, obviously), but what about compatibility with HS60 PCB? I'm going to put GMK Laser on ultramarine HHKB and Laser cries RGB, you know.

Tracked shipping with DHL or UPS. I am not sure with the hotswap PCB, but it *should* work.

Dang, would still be very grateful for more pics of the keeb, especially vase bottom etc.

Is it possible to request regular airmail? Both DHL and UPS are working with organizations only here: they will simply return the parcel back to sender. If you're shipping from Norway, then Posten is the only option for me, unfortunately.

These are shipping directly from Asia. We will make sure to use a courier that is compatible with private use in Russia.

Hello.

Mekanisk.xyz shows the current status.

Anyway, almost all shipments has been upgraded to DHL express. Two batches of the orders have shipped already, the next will be shipped within the next few weeks, there are a lot of boards to ship out.
Our goal is to get everything out before the end of April, then we will hit the goal we set in November.


We got quite a lot of orders and interest for the Klippe S, however, there are so few of you who respond here 
When you get your board, I would appericate a few pictures or words. Thank you

Good question! I'd like to try GMK Firefly (once it's made and it ships) to see if the blues from the set are a good match for the blue on the case. But if not that, maybe ePBT Extended 2048 by biip, which is a nice white set. How about you?

Firstly thanks LeandreN for running such a smooth buy!

The board is amazing, e-white finish is on point no scratches or marks, shiny polished steel weight, solid weight. I'm currently typing on it and it is a dream, the height is perfect for me and the case really highlights the switches sound profile with no pings or hollowness. I've never really written a proper review but these are my thoughts after using it for a day! Now that I've run out of things to say I'll leave a build log, sorry in advance for potato pics. They really don't do justice to how good this board looks in person.







E-white finish, Novelkeys Cream Switches lubed w/ghv4, gmk stabs, poly plate. GMK Mizu caps. (I also bought a brass plate + pcb which I'll try in the future)

I snagged an extra and am loving this board so much! Is there any estimates for when extra plates and pcbs will be available? I also would like to try brass and polycarbonate as well.

Thanks for sharing these awesome photos. Glad you like it!

Will make plates available in July. Sorry for the delay. We will make up for it by having Carbon Fiber available, together with the other materials.

Ahh that's exciting!  I will certainly be picking up a CF plate as well.  I hope PCBs will be in at the same time too so all that stuff can be ordered at once.

Yes, that is what we are waiting for, our PCB order.

Will there be more extras? Somehow I missed that there were extras a while back... 😿

Anyone may be interested in selling their Klippe S?

Looking forward to it.

Will you open source the plate files? If so, and I cut my own plate, will it be compatible with a boardwalk PCB?

I second this, I want to make this into an Alps board if possible.

Did you ever do this? I'm interested in the Klippe S, but only if I can get a custom plate with an Alps (AT101) layout
