Previous Description
More
We made a one-off ‘Matrix-Cyberspace-Blade-Runner-Hangul-Rain’ 90’s themed Hacker aesthetic stacked acrylic keyboard (say it 10 times fast?) for Mysterium PCBs, based on a concept by ULLIAM and designed by our team at Protozoa Studio. We got a lot of interest in making a production version.

The matrix hangul text is a translation of Roy Batty’s monologue in Blade Runner (tears in the rain), which ULLIAM used on his desk mats for KAT Cyberspace. The acid green edge glow acrylic matches the well known cyberspace aesthetic.

A one-off GLITCH was built by MaxF: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MEEEKezeniI (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MEEEKezeniI). The design has been refined and changed (see renders and description). Production units of the GLITCH will have the etched design but no GID infill (this can be DIY’ed at your own risk).

There are 2 versions, (1) ‘P.00 GLITCH’ (matrix rain style), (2) 'P.00 FROST’ (regular style).

Both are compatible with Mysterium PCBs from CFTKB.com or P.01 PCBs from protozoa.studio.

Looking forward to your questions and feedback.

Really interesting design, particularly on the green one. Badge looks great as well. Curious about the top; it looks like there are three layers above the plate (ie: 9mm). The top of most cases is 6 - 6.5 mm, so I'm thinking the keycaps would be considerably "sunk in" to the top. I'm not saying that's necessarily a bad thing, but it would be nice to see some renders with keycaps to get a better idea of how this would look.
I'll be watching this one; awesome work :thumb:

Is it possible to buy the PCBs bundled with components bundled, but not assembled? I'm not sure why, but I find through-hole work therapeutic. Maybe I'm alone in wanting this.

Does "through-hole work" mean soldering the components on the pcb? You are definitely not alone.....but i hate it. I am warming up the process though. No pun intended.

I do mean soldering the components, yes. I mention through-hole specifically because I'm not a fan of working with surface mount components, so PCBs like this are a goldmine of fun! (fun is relative, of course)

The way those layers look are super duper unique and cool. Nice!

Thanks so much for your kind words and support, It's such a pleasure to be able to get that kind of feedback, for the whole team! Please do watch out for the GB next month if you're still interested when the time comes.

Dimensions? Guessing 7 3mm sheets, so 21mm thick?

You're on point. The plate is included in that measurement too.

Is it possible to buy the PCBs bundled with components bundled, but not assembled? I'm not sure why, but I find through-hole work therapeutic. Maybe I'm alone in wanting this.

Yes for sure, this is how the PCBs come as standard, with components that you have to solder yourself. We are considering an option for those who find soldering all the components intimidating, I'll hopefully have some news on that in a few weeks time around GB start.

Really interesting design, particularly on the green one. Badge looks great as well. Curious about the top; it looks like there are three layers above the plate (ie: 9mm). The top of most cases is 6 - 6.5 mm, so I'm thinking the keycaps would be considerably "sunk in" to the top. I'm not saying that's necessarily a bad thing, but it would be nice to see some renders with keycaps to get a better idea of how this would look.
I'll be watching this one; awesome work :thumb:

Yes indeed you're right - it is 9mm above the plate. I always aim on all my non-stacked plastic designs for 7.8-8mm, standard is around that much for most designers. Unfortunately because of availability of plastic sheets that mostly come in 3mm thickness, we have to use multiples of 3. I'll make sure we get some renders with keycaps as well!

dope af design, will there be iso available?

Mysterium V1 doesn't have ISO, but Mysterium V2 from CFTKB.com does. We are however looking into updating our P.01 Mysterium PCB for ISO, plus a few other features.

Oooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Oh I realize this comment is not very helpful so I will try to help you out

Very good point thanks Treeleaf! It is 6 degrees.

Are there gaps between the layers in the green renders, or are my eyes just tripping? Really nice regardless.

it is a bit trippy haha. No there are no gaps, the profile is staggered and the translucency plays tricks with our eyes.

Yes, we are currently waiting on the second prototype of a barleycorn case, if the quality is good we can run with that manufacturer and not make it too expensive (we think it can only really work if we can get the price down for that one).

Didn't see this answered yet. Is the "P.01 ULTRA PCB" a pre-soldered PCB vs. the standard through-hole PCB? With a hotswap designation I'm guessing so but just want to be sure!

woah this is so cool!

Thank you, friend!

Looks like most of us here are hyped for Glitch, but I'm gonna give some love to the Frost. What a design! GLWIC and GLWGB! Definitely going to pick Frost up.

haha yes, this is basically why I decided to go with Frost - something with a similar vibe but more neutral.

Definitely getting a glitch! Love the look.

Didn't see this answered yet. Is the "P.01 ULTRA PCB" a pre-soldered PCB vs. the standard through-hole PCB? With a hotswap designation I'm guessing so but just want to be sure!

Thank you for your support! P.01 ULTRA is a fully SMD PCB, so no through hole parts. It comes in two flavours, one where you solder your switches, the other which is hotswap.

Can we look forward to additional sound tests once the prototypes roll in  :D?

yes indeed!

I love the glitch

GLITCH loves you

Also choosing Frost.❄

What is this key set? So nice...


Glad you like it! The keyset doesn't exist, it was something we were playing with offering, but won't be at this point unfortunately.

Glitch looks sick. Good stuff.

Please, consider adding an European vendor outside of the UK, I would like not to pay customs even though there's a vendor in the region... Why did British folks had to leave the EU :(

Most likely we won't work with any proxies but it is something I'm looking into in general, shipping from UK to EU is not so easy.

It is hard to choose, both are nice and both are different.

I agree 100% haha

That glitch looks amazing!!!

So glad you like it, thank you!

The keycap set on Frost: Please, please run a group buy on these IRL. There are so many colours to get everywhere, but a combo like this is nowhere to be found and it's absolutely stunning. Instabuy, even without NorDe which is usually a no-go for me.

Both Frost and Glitch are stunning and innovative, but omg, how to pick one and not the other... *cries*

Do you have a photo of the ultra pcb? Just curious how would it look like with the case.

Where can I find more details about the PCB that's intended for use with the Glitch/Frost?
I'm really curious about what sort of LED support there might be. Especially on top as I want to use the GITD Nightwalker switches and wanted to have some UV LED's up there to light them up and give the glow a kick.

oh man, so glad you like the imaginary set, and the boards! I'm not sure the blue set will get made but, you never know... it's true though, a simple blue set is not so apparent these days.

unfortunately no per key LEDs, but i'll look into it. Probably not though :(

Pretty interesting design.

Glad you like it!

No photo yet - it's being prototyped right now. But we will have a render very soon, I'll post it here and on the discord.

Really cool! I'm most certainly in.

hell yeah!

Glitch ordered with FR4 plate and ISO PCB.  Love the look and cant wait to see what it feels and sounds like.  Good luck with the sale, I don't think you will need it as many people will love the look of these.

Matrix is sweet don't get me wrong but Frost is pretty amazing in its own right. Debating between the white hotswap and blue frost solder PCBs.

I wanted to do the same thing. Any chance for LED support would be amazing. I already have my nightwalker switches lubed and ready in case it happens.
