[IC] ORI CLS-2 // 65 - TIMELESS FORM AND FUNCTION (2/2 prototype complete)

[BruceDinh]

CLS-2 //65
"ECLIPSE"
THE KEYBOARD BY ORI-CLUB

After a period of working with the 2 closest 2 projects (ORI CLS-1 / ORI GENESIS),
 I completely lost the entrance to countless designs, I sketch every day.
And in the end, what pleased me most was not adding new things,
 but removing unnecessary ones. And this is what I think will follow me and you for many more years.
ORI CLS-2 // 65

MINIMALISTIC DESIGN - CLASSIC 65 FORM - GASKET MOUNT

There are two most important things I care about: the mount system and the sound.
Mount Systyem: I use the improved gasket mount from CLS-1, the plate is held 15% tighter.
The plate has been tweaked to be softer than the CLS-1, but not too flex.
The Sound: Half of the inner lap will be made of brass. That makes the typing echo a lot better.

I lost out on the CLS-1 raffle but 65% with 0.25u right blocker is one of my other favorite layouts. I hope I can win one of these.

I haven't picked up a new board in 5 years, but definitely going to try to get this gorgeous one

I wish people would stop putting the blocker in the top right.

interested in seeing renders of the bottom and front looks really nice and if youve listened to the critiques of the tkl i'm sure this will be excellent

[clik_clak]

There's plenty of options that don't have that feature.

That's true, but for something claiming "Function" in the title you would expect it to have at least the normal Del and Fn. You have to remove one or the other if you want to have this 910blocker style.

[o3okevin]

nice

[bball2]

This looks really good, but I am a bit scared what the prices will be :-O

[3CLYPS3]

Damn dude this is incredible. I hope this isn't a bank breaker, because this is one of the few boards on this forum that I have a pretty big interest in these

[002_GT]

what is the front height for this?

[cannon-cat]

[pandapau]

Now the question is how much it's gonna be can't wait for that information to be announced!

[Ireojimayo]

Looks good. I know gasket 65% with a corner blocker is overdone but this board looks good, so whatever.
80 units, so it'll be hard to win a spot, but here's hoping anyways

[Mighty_B]

So niceeeeeeeeeeeeee, go Vietnammmmmmmmmmmmmm

[Boxes]

add this one to the L ist

[mlacabrera]

YES!! Hope I get in on the GB, this is nice!

You immediately had my attention with the first picture I saw of it. I was sad I couldn't join in on your first design, really hoping I can join in on this one!

Nice! Love it when Bruce puts out a new design. Renders look fantastic

Would like to see the brass height increased for cleaner lines in the side profile.

[chriszhu]

Looks like a gorgeous 65%

Hoping there will be a black with red accents, this looks great.

I am very happy to hear

anyway, update a bit:

- I just checked it looks like the ORI CLS-2 will weigh 2.6kg unbuild

Survey for FE edition:

1. Full brass
2. Fill the origami bird front logo with real Gold - by artist .

[xanserkx]

Loving that engraving

[GMK83]

I think copper instead of brass would be cool for the FE.

[brianpro700]

seem a sleek design board for me, is this open for local market ?

[BruceDinh]

I must admit I couldn't stop thinking about a wrist rest after seeing the keycult's new wrist rest. (Actually, I have some ideas from before). But really, combining wood with black aluminum is just amazing.
So, ye, I've just tried one.
If everyone likes it enough, I'll make it for ORI CLS-2//65

Black Alu + Wood Grain is 🔥🔥🔥

[BruceDinh]

Just a fictional, I wouldn't do this
I just wanted to see if it was possible how this combination could go

[hottrout]

You should do it ORI, it looks beautiful and completes the board.

This combo is unbeatable!!!!! Plz make it real

[Ulei]

This look really nice. Hopefully the price is not insane.

[juaninamilli]

This looks nice. The bezels on the tkl were super tight. I saw that a keycap puller wouldn’t fit. There were a few other little things that needed some refinement. Has all that been addressed for this board?

[BrainBunker]

I think copper instead of brass would be cool for the FE.

I second this.

[EdgeOfInfinity]

definitely think i'm going to have to test my luck on this.

also that wristrest is suuuper dope!

[sendpie]

please rng give me luck with the raffle LOL

[notquant]

Looks amazing!

[Scriba]

aluminium is 6060, 6061 oder 6063?

[SherlockBunny]

Can't wait to lose this raffle as well!

Jokes aside I think this board is really nice. Would be my first ORI board too, so looking forward to that. Does the PCB support split-backspace?

[hottrout]

Please make it with the wrist rest as a complete package.  That would be worth a lot more money to me.  I missed out on the 1st keyboard but I really hope to get in on this one.

[zoo]

aluminium is 6060, 6061 oder 6063?

Which type of alu, if used, would be a dealbreaker for you?

[audax989]

aluminium is 6060, 6061 oder 6063?

I think this comment also came up on the CLS-1 buy. Bruce did not share specifics on the aluminum that he uses.

[Scriba]

only 6061

[Xeryn]

I don't mind the top right blocker on this board, possibly because the Ori logo is very nice The side profile is what really brings it in for.

GLWIC/GB. Can't wait for my L

[donny_pete]

Yeah this thing is money 

[majes]

The render makes the front height seem really high. Is it just the render or is the board higher than average?

[juaninamilli]

24mm is what he said.

[BruceDinh]

Here is a picture of the 1/2 prototype I'm working on. Unfortunately I'm not there to take high-quality photos.
But okay, as you can see the finish compared to the CLS-1 is much better, I have to say.

And there will be some changes to the key options.

Chances are the red on the logo will not be the red of Anodized aluminum anymore, but the red of the lacquer.
The yellow color is no longer brass, and will be replaced by copper coated with emulsion gold.

[hottrout]

ORI, unfortunately I never got a spot in the 1st board.  I will be fighting for a spot on this one.  It looks amazing and alreay has great detail.  Please please make the wrist rest part of the overall package and design.

[GMK83]

Prototype is looking really good.  Are some of the tolerance issues that were seen on CLS-1 going to be addressed on CLS-2?  I think I saw in discord you’ve also changed manufacturing partners for the CNC work?

[BruceDinh]

some quick image of CLS-2




High quality image and sound test will be updated as soon as possible.

You can buy add-on, extra logo this time will be relatively comfortable

[tommyamoszhao]

looks simple, but the level of details is amazing! like the way you design the gasket post!!

[Scriba]

How high is the front? maybe it's deceiving, but it looks quite high, which may be why a Wrist rest is needed. Otherwise, the design looks absolutely stunning.

[stimuz]

How high is the front? maybe it's deceiving, but it looks quite high, which may be why a Wrist rest is needed. Otherwise, the design looks absolutely stunning.

Wrist rest is always needed for non low profile, unless you can float your arms for hours or don't do much typing.

I mean technically you should float your arms for hours when doing a lot of typing. Wrist rests, while they aren't good for you if you actually rest your wrists on them, are most useful for gaming where you aren't doing tons of typing and instead holding keys. If your posture is correct and arms are at 90, desk is lower, you should be able to hover just fine with some practice.

[Soche]

the FE rosewood ano and all other editions are quite spectacular!

Have been following Ori and Bruce since I found out about the CLS-1 back in May/June, so when I heard that the CLS-2 was going to be in 65 I was in. Super excited for this to happen and I will be trying my hardest to have RNG on my side for this one! (Dęp quá!)

[Invezting]

Ori logo so nice.

[highpur]

All those features do no warrant 600usd minimum, it should be 400usd max. *I would only pay 400usd max for a keyboard like this. Good luck with your IC

[Scriba]

All those features do no warrant 600usd minimum, it should be 400usd max.

lmao, can you please also justify this?

The balance edition has two brass weights as well a brass logo. The architecture of the mounting and the general design are also high-quality (no simple gasket strips).

[packman86]

All those features do no warrant 600usd minimum, it should be 400usd max.

Would love to see some data/proof from you that would justify that this could be sold for $400 at this ~80 unit count.

Would look good with my stoneisland mat

Hello everyone, a little update from GB of ORI CLS-2

The first batch, including the first 10 kits, are ready for QC and ship immediately after the logo is inlaid with gold leaf.
Let's take a look.

[hottrout]

I was so disappointed not to win either the Ori-1 or Ori CLS-2 GB place.  Looks superb ORI, very well done.
