[IC] 818 - A Plateless Keyboard.
masje:
Dear keyboard illuminati,
if you know where I can get good beige coats(powder/cerakote),
can you tell me?
DISCORD IC FORM
Inspiration
I am a fan of plateless boards.
A few months ago, I made a keyboard called the K-III,
which was built on the same mounting method as this,
and I thought it sounded/felt nice.
I wanted to then expand that same structure to an 1800 form factor,
with vintage-inspired stylings.
Mounting & Specifications
The mounting system utilizes 2x 3mm orings that sandwich the PCB on both sides,
with channels cut in the top and bottom case to friction fit the orings (similar to F1 mount style).
- 8 deg typing angle
- 2.87kgs unbuilt (alu) / 1.27kgs unbuilt (pc)
- 19.6 adjusted front height
Internal channels for the orings
PCB Layout
Supports most things that make sense in this layout.
Will be designed by the wonderful Sleepdealer.
Sales & Pricing
- February 2025 GB (maybe???)
- 5 units black aluminum / 5 units polycarbonate small run
(fulfilling everything myself so would like to not overextend myself!)
- Aiming for $450 - $520, incl. hard case/PCB/cable
- Made by your favorite (overpriced) manufacturer

Three indicator lights at the F13 location
Integrated cable!
I will include a JST-USBA cable in the kit,
which will be tied to the PCB "OTD style"

But does it come in beige?

GLWIC, love plateless borts.

Pretty cool. Do enjoy the idea of a G80-1800 inspired board though I'd personally shy away from integrated cable if possible. Looks nice!
