Title: [IC] Lynx L50 - a premium 50% keyboard
Post by: wixxzblu on Sun, 09 September 2018, 11:58:34
Hello fellow clackers!

- I've had this idea for an improved 40% layout in my head since December of last year, and ive finally enmassed the experience needed to create my own case for such a layout.

- I present to you the Lynx L50, a 45% keyboard with all the must have alphas, no compromises made to make the layout smaller in any way.
The case is inspired by the iKBC MF87 in many ways, but i increased the size of the top piece and increased the angle to a comfortable 7 degree.
The name comes from the beautiful lynx cat that roams the woods of Sweden, specifically the woods around where i live.

[attach=1]

[attach=2]

- The layout supports both 7u and 2.25 + 2.75 split spacebar since i have tried to keep the plate from becoming a mess.
There is also the option for an HHKB and normal top.
I increased the profile to 7.5mm to make sure they cover the keycaps but still make space for the full travel of a flipped spacebar.
I know this is important for many of you.

[attach=9]

[attach=3]

- The keycaps needed for this layout/case are 40% keys found in the base kits of laser and red samurai, and of course in the usual 40% keycap kits(specifically, R2 ESC, R2 backspace, R3 1.25 Tab, R3 1.75 Enter).

- The PCB will support both MX and SMK switches, and thus no in switch LED. The SMK 2nd gen MX white clicky is an excellent switch that ive recently fallen in love with.
The PCB will hopefully be made by a known pcb maker in the community, but its still TBA. The case is designed with a centered USB type-C for now.


- So what do i plan in the future for this case when it comes to the GB? I've been thinking of incorporating pcb mount cutouts in the top of the case to give the option for you to create a top mounted pcb only build (for those of you who like the feel of a plateless build).
This will of course require more work to the case for me and the pcb maker, but im sure its possible, and would be a first in the mk community.
For the bottom piece, i would love to give the option for both full brass or Polycarbonate as depicted in the renders.
Im working on a 3d printed prototype, since i dont want to commit fully to a cnc prototype if the reception was cold. I will update the IC whenever the first prototype is done!

- I will try to reach out to EVE or ALF to have them make this case, so its made by someone reputable in the community.


PRICE: TBA

FEATURES:
- 7.5mm profile
- 7 degree angle
- 18mm front height
- 7.5mm uniform top bezel
- MX & SMK switch compatability
- QMK
- aluminium, brass and polycarbonate plate & bottom material

Lastly, here are all the renders:

I really like this! Big fan of the layout, as a Pearl owner I sometimes miss some of those keys that this layout adds back in . If this comes with a QMK PCB I'm definitely in.
Not a huge fan of the type treatment for the "lynx L50" though. I'd love to see some other options.

PCB will definitely have QMK and underglow suppport.

flipped space bars are for monsters who rest their palms on the desk and wish to get rsi as quckly as possible.   :p

But, I really like the concept and design.  I voted Russo one in the straw poll.

I would prefer something around 5 of 6 degrees incline, but your specific number of 7.3 leads me to believe that is an important feature to you personally.

I think 5 degree is not enough and 8 degree is too much for some, so i decided on 7.3 as a middle ground.

I'm very interested in this. Although, I do have concerns over the 3u split spacebar usage.

I've heard that there are more sets coming out that have 3u, but aside from super specific minila/SA sets I don't see them often.
Personally would feel more comfortable with a 2.75, 1.25, 2.25 but I understand the limitations without making the pcb/plate a mess.

I have a similar set up 45% that I love so i'd def be in for sure.

this looks great.  hopefully the simplified pcb and limited layout options means it can be priced a little more accessibly.
I'd also seriously consider dropping the additional weight altogether.  a good set of feet can make the board stable without the need for it.  besides- that would fit your lynx concept better- a small keyboard that is light, portable, and stable-footed.

Definitely interested, but is the layout support final? Those bottom rows are rather odd for a near 40% board, specially the split-spacebar bottom row.

Maybe something like this? [1.5u - 1u - 1.5u - 2.25u - 2.75u - 1.5u - 1u - 1u -1.5u]
[attachimg=1]

And with 1.5u corner blockers [1u - 1.5u - 2.25u - 2.75u - 1.5u - 1u - 1u]

The split space with 3u is a little progressive. considering there aren’t many sets that support it yet. I really like the WKL bottom row though. As long as your proposed layouts don’t interfere with that I’m good.

I have thought about those layout options as well, but they really add to a swiss chease plate as well not being symetric. 2.25 + 2.75 is pretty **** imo, because your litteraly using blank shift caps which is not convex

3u spacebars have some very nice advantages over the 2.25 + 2.75 combo. First off, they're convex , they also fit better centered inside a 7u space span.
You can find 3u spacebars in all the newer epbt sets like, 9009 and BoW, there are also 3u spacebars in some XDA sets.

this looks great.  hopefully the simplified pcb and limited layout options means it can be priced a little more accessibly.
I'd also seriously consider dropping the additional weight altogether.  a good set of feet can make the board stable without the need for it.  besides- that would fit your lynx concept better- a small keyboard that is light, portable, and stable-footed.

I hear you! I will try to make this as cheap as possible considering its a very small keyboard. A weight would add to the cost, as well as engravings so those ideas are still up in the air.

The weight could be an optional feature for those that want it? Even with nice feet, I still like my boards to be nice and heavy ^-^

I was about to suggest the same. Finding two 3u spacekeys is hard for many sets. The 2.25 and 2.75 can be found more often, or can be reused shift keys. Would help with putting nice keysets on it. Would love to see the first variant supported.

as you wrote, 1 - 1.5 - 2.25 - 2.75 - 1.5 - 1 -1 is hard to fit inside a 7u spacebar bottom row without making the plate & pcb into a swiss cheese. it also ruin the symetric look im going for. 3u will be more and more accessible.

Ive been modifying the layout based on feedback. I feel we could drop the 3u split spacebar support in favor of 2.25 + 2.75 combo. I came up with what i think, still keeps the nice symmetry of the bottom row, but still add the functionality of split spacebar. Thumb position has also been considered for this new layout.

I also added support for 2.25 R-shift, please tell me what you think!

Yea, I was only trying to figure out a layout that I liked, not design a full board. I think I just used a Pok3r configuration and removed the top row. So it is just a standard sized layout. You are right that it looks oversized and trimming down is most aesthetically pleasing.

Big fan of 40% keyboard. Add brass weights and make it wireless, please.

Brass bottom piece will be an option, that will give the board a weight of atleast 1.8Kg  :eek:

oof this looks really good.

Thanks for the support!

Wow, a compact layout that is actually completely usable (for me anyway).  I have a hard time using 40% keyboards that are missing the punctuation keys on the right side.

This layout considers keycap profile height which is hugely overlooked. People are always trying to tweak layouts to make it exactly what they want but on 40% the difference in cap height makes a massive difference in typing. Far as I can tell this layout is uniform. And so well done.

Love everything about this. Definitely in for one.

Us non-qwerty users often miss out with these smaller (e.g. 40%) staggered boards, but this has us covered, plus useful punctuation keys. (Ok, except for caps lock -> backspace, but I can live with that on a smaller board.)

I really like a hefty board so those brass options are looking :thumb:

Any idea about colors yet?

I like that it appeals to US layouts too. I’m more inclined for this staggered 40%+ MKB than the other.

Ive been asking/searching for this layout for a long damn time. Im so glad someone is taking this on! I rendered the layout once upon a time and was very surprised when I asked the community if something similar existed and it was a resounding "no". So thrilled about this!!! Beautiful design as well!!

Ive been modifying the layout based on feedback. I feel we could drop the 3u split spacebar support in favor of 2.25 + 2.75 combo. I came up with what i think, still keeps the nice symmetry of the bottom row, but still add the functionality of split spacebar. Thumb position has also been considered for this new layout.

I also added support for 2.25 R-shift, please tell me what you think!

Quite amazing.

One small thing to compensate for the narrow looking layout imo: have you considered wider front and rear bezels? The result would be an overall less prolonged shape.

Maybe there is a way to support 6.25 spacebar with 1.25-1.00-1.25-6.25-1.25-1.00-1.00-1.00?

And I must add that 2.25u right shift is definitely nice touch!

6.25 will not be supported. SMK switches have the locking pins on the X axis, while Cherry have them on the Y axis, meaning if you swisscheese the plate too much they wont clip in at all. Its already a problem on the 7u spacebar switch and Rshift when using SMK switches.

If you took something with the JD45 layout, you could have had the brackets and split the spacebar to be "backspace | spacebar"

For me the hole point about this keyboard, is the extra column. Please keep it. Otherwise it would be just one under many.

I really like this. I have not seen a 40% layout that I could actually use, but this I could. What will the price be?

The price is looking to be around $285-300 with a pcb and plate.

Was just having a think, since underglow is supported, should be possible to have an acrylic diffuser middle piece right? not saying it should be offered, just wondering if its possible or if there's any clearing issues?

whenever i get the prototypes, i will announce removed and added features. Underglow support has been removed. Im doing this because, there are already so many sku's and this is my firstish GB.
Stay tuned, i got update from the factory that the cnc was completed last week for all protos, and they should be anod' and shipped to me next week.

oh noz, now I'm sad.

Slight bit surprise as I thought response to underglow has been positive. sku's?

yes i think its been good too, but having PC which requires extra QC together with all the different versions of L50 that i want to provide may be too much for a first gb.
there is already standard top, hhkb top, wkl top, alu bottom and brass bottom.

Any potential for a second round with PCBv2? :P I mean, so long as the case design took underglow into consideration in the first place (asking specifically for that middle piece idea XD), it would work out then?

The is the most sensible layout in the staggered 40-50% range I've ever seen. No sacrificing of important dedicated keys like semicolon, quote, comma, period, or forward slash. You can almost fully customize it with any standard layout keyset.

I just want to ask something about the plate, could you consider to make more screw holes to stick the plate with the case. For example, the plate of pearl has total 14 screw holes. I think that it will help the keyboarb and type feeling are become much more stable.
Thank you for reading this.

i'm no expert nor have i tried typing on a pearl but a plate this size with 14 mounting points would make bottom out/typing really harsh because there wouldnt be any flex from the plate. heh

at 14 points, it might as well be an integrated plate  ;)

Hi,

Been watching this, and very much interested in this board.

Is it at all possible for the pcb to support 1-1.25u for right shift split, in addition to 1.25-1u that is currently supported? this option forms a nicely aligned possible arrow cluster with the bottom row.

A ~40% that has room for the entire Nordic alphabet... It's all I've ever dreamed of!

Edit: Although... I wish there was a way for it to support split left shift/ISO key too. Not sure how it could even be pulled off, it would probably require a Vortex Race 3 style Esc key to make stuff line up, lol. Don't mind me, I was just dreaming of the perfect 40-ish % Nordic layout here.

Post by: fractl on Mon, 15 July 2019, 18:16:14
This may seem like and odd question, but is there any consensus in regard to whether people prefer the split spacebars to go 2.25u then 2.75u or 2.75u then 2.25u.  Personally, I hit the spacebar with my right thumb, so I'd prefer the 2.75u on the left and the 2.25u on the right, so I could hit the spacebar using the smaller, and therefore quieter, option.

Of course, I don't expect anything to be changed just to suit my preferences, but I was wondering if this matters to anyone else and if there is a preference for one sequence or another.

Obviously, I'll survive either way, but this is pretty much exactly the layout I would have designed myself, except I'd reverse the spacebars.

Congrats on an almost ideal layout though... staggered layout, more compact than a 60%, not having to use a secondary layer for the colon, apostrophe, question mark or brackets, and split spacebar.  Exactly what I would have hoped for.

The split spacebar option is simply down to how i hold my own thumbs when resting on the home row. Left thumb between V & B, while right thumb is between N & M, this reflects directly to the split spacebar, as it would put the thumb as close to the center of the spacebars.

Well, my thumb is positioned pretty much the same as yours, and your rationale makes sense.  If the split spacebars were reversed, that would mean that our thumbs would be positioned over the break between the two spacebars, which would require more movement to hit one spacebar or the other.  Which is my way of admitting that your choice makes more practical sense than mine, since I would be shifting my hand position after every word to hit the spacebar properly, just for the sake of being able to use the smaller spacebar.  Better to have things set up your way.  Thanks for pointing that out.

Progress is good, 3u sounds sensible, don't be held back by legacy concerns, drag everyone else forward with you.

While I understand not wanting a Swiss cheese bottom row on the plate, I would suggest at least considering adding a more versatile range of layout options to the bottom row of the PCB for those that don't mind modifying or making their own plates. Best of both worlds.

I like the way the Equinox bottom row was designed and the same could be done here by using 1.5u instead of 1.25u keys for the bottom row. The only change needed for that would be an increase of the blockers for the HHKB option by 0.25u on both sides.
