[IC] 880 | Cone feet TKL
« on: Thu, 06 June 2024, 11:41:37 »


A TKL with cone feet.

DISCORD IC FORM


I guess I got into the hobby too late to truly experience kustoms.
Therefore, I wanted to explore the world of kustoms through making them.
First, by achieving the aesthetic (specifically the 356L for this one), then tweaking the sound to make it what I enjoy.

This is as much an interest check as a journal of the development process of this keyboard.

Hopefully, I will be able to offer this keyboard down the line to people who enjoy the same aesthetic and typing experience.

Still very early, and under active development!

S P E C S


- Adjusted front height: 21mm (v1), 21.9mm (v2)

- Typing angle: 8 degrees (hence 8 80 - 8 deg, 80%. Thanks paul for the inspo)

- Weight: 1.2kg unbuilt

- Full aluminum construction, with optional brass weight. (testing out a v2 prototype with full aluminum!)

- CONE FEET (will probably offer cones and spacers, to customize typing angle)

- Compat with H87 PCBs (with on board type-c connector) eg Hiney h87c, galatea

- Explosion diagram

P R I C I N G

Aiming around 420USD (worst case scenario) without PCB, with hard case @ 5 MOQ

At 25 MOQ I can probably include the PCB at the same price





---
M O U N T I N G

- Top mount with Jane-ish mount points. Plate will be changed to have more compat (6.25 bottom row, stepped caps, ISO etc)


- testing out hot-dog top mount (with orings in the wedges)

Would love to see WKL as an option or 6.25 option on the pcb possibly, but this looks really cool. Good luck!

I know it's true to the 356L aesthetic, but I'd insta buy with a WKL top.
Maybe it can be 356CL DGE aesthetic instead :D

Very nice project, the more cone feet the better. GLWIC
keyboard collection - fjell

cherry blacks - unlubed - filmed and springswapped with tx 55g mediums - alu Plate | pretty happy with this, the blacks were cherry picked so they weren't that scratchy to begin with, but currently breaking them in, may lube them with a dry lube like ro59 or ptfe powder.
| hhkb bt

lubed with tribosys 3203 | like topre a lot, prefer it lubed but did make less tactile but that might have been a skill issue. probably will get more tactile over time as the domes age.
| m0115

bad orange alps lol | definitely needs a restoration. planning on wax boiling them and maybe a replacement pcb because the board has only 2 key rollover apparently.
| praxis
More
gateron yellows - lubed with 205g0 - 62g tx mediums - pc plate | probably my favourite keyboard already, feels super nice and sounds pretty good, it's got a great layout as well. probably gonna build this with mx browns, I feel like it would suit the board more.
| camo filco
More
stock with silent reds | Pretty cool looking board, the silent reds are actually good, they are smooth and I don't mind the mushiness (it's not even that mushy as well). the layout is pretty weird, but is useable. will probably mod this in the future. maybe a pcb and plate swap, change the keycaps to something dolch like, and also spring swap the springs in the silent reds.

stock, needs a cleaning and probably replacement foam. Do plan to change layout so it has split bs and rs, as well as ansi enter.

Built with new nixies on pc half plate. Love this board already, probably the best looking board I own, those brass accents are so mint. Really like it as is, but I do want to try an alu build (probably with nixies as well) just to experiment with that.

I like these big cone feet, does the keyboard have a difference in sound having them on vs off?

+1 to the sentiment of adding a WKL top

looks interesting otherwise :thumb:

a bit pricey for such a simple board no? i do see the moq is super low tho. i guess w/ PCB included sounds more reasonable too. i am interested - glwic!

+2 for WKL top option. Otherwise, I like the theme and purpose. GLWIC, hoping to see slightly lower pricing with a higher MOQ if possible.
