Hello,
I've been wanting to make a keyboard. The time has come! I made some sketches and showed Zambumon. He made 3D files. Salvun's CNC machine goes brrr. Wilba makes PCB. Voilà! Keyboard.
The main inspiration comes from keyboards with handles, I love them, so this one has some. I also wanted a big weight because I like heavy keyboards, what can I say. Also, the sides are seamless, which is very nice IMO. I hope you like the design as well! Below is a summary of details, should have everything you would want to know about the project.
Details:
- Material: Aluminium case, Stainless Steel weight, Brass or Aluminium plate
- Colors: Black and Silver
- Layout: 65% with both ANSI and ISO variants available
- Typing angle: 8°
- Width: 314.75mm
- Depth: 110.80mm
- Height: 19.57mm (front), 35.00mm (back)
- Weight: Approximately 2.25kg, depending on configuration
- Plate mounting style: 6-point top mount leaf spring
- Interface: USB-C
- Electronics: WT65-G PCB designed by wilba.tech, QMK compatible and fully programmable with VIA configurator
- Availability: 200 units
- Price: 529€ (479€ for non-EU) with Brass plate, 519€ (469€ for non-EU) with Aluminium plate, extra PCB's are 59€ each while additional plates are 49€ for Brass and 39€ for Aluminium

mfw someone leaked my design to you guys. Haha! Good luck fellas. Looks good... even if I am a bit biased.Show Image(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200909/918285d4b6a6acb7b0bb4c25f840daec.jpg)
With all due respect, Oblotzky Industries still has a modest budget and we couldn't acquire a time machine to pull off that ****.

Could i ask for a non-metallic plate material be considered? Preferably Poly or CF.
Alternatively, will plate files be released?

Due to the leaf spring design, the plate shall only be made in aluminum, brass, stainless steel, copper, or as you point out carbon fibre. Materials such as POM, PLA, or polycarbonate should be avoided.
That being said, given the layout options (ISO and ANSI plates) and the available materials and finishes (brass, black anodized aluminium, and silver anodized aluminium), we are already talking of at least 6 plate options and if I were in Oblotzky's position, I would rather keep things as they are right now for this pre-order.

You could get a crazy amount of flex out of a carbon fiber leaf spring.

Are metal plates going to be the only mounting option?

Are you trolling or you don't read the thread at all? Like two messages above yours Zambumon answers this exact question from another user that asked it previously.

haha no not trolling.
I was having some internet problems and tried to reply when the thread was posted but it didn't go through. Apparently it worked a couple days later when I reloaded Chrome on this computer though. I didn't even notice until you pointed it out, so thanks for that :thumb:
Anywho, 8° typing angle and VIA support is just perfect on this.

Not at all, but it is pretty funny though. Glad to have my question answered either way.
