Hi this is my first post on GH.
This is my own ergonomic keyboards. Yes, it resembles Ergodox
Actually these are two of half-size keyboard but this works just as one single keyboards perfectly thanks to Logitech's Unifying tech.
It can pair 6 of devices at once.
Here is the spec.
Logitech k230 controller x 2
Vintage Black switch
Layered Aluminium housing
Cooper Plate
Leather palm rest
=================== More details ===================
Sliced anonymous PCB
Soldering switches
Do some dirty wire job
Here comes the K230's controller and battery
- It lasts 3 years according to Logitech, I guess it last more than 1.5 years at least.
Rare housing
There are three holes for Bumpon
- It makes three different angle of (Top\Bottom, Left\Right, Top-Center\Bottom-Side)
Like this.
In cost point of view
Alu housing and cooper plate : 180$ (I did alone and it make the price incredibly high
)
maybe 5~60$ If I did with acrylic plastic
PCB : 0$
Controller : 0.9$ x 2 (This is the market price of K230 keyboards)
Switch : 50$ approximately
Key caps : 40$ approximately
Leather : 2$
Hardness
Yes wire-ing was hard as you can see the hell. But others were piece of cake.
