dream 65XT layout/idea
« on: Wed, 15 November 2023, 14:35:04 »
Hey yall.

So I don;t have any CAD or fusion360 experience but I was wondering besides Neson if anyone had pondered developing this exact layout for a premium board (WKL or WK)

Something like this:

hotswap (split backspace, split spacebar; if possible)

o-ring or gasket mount, silicone dampener mat, no foam needed for great sound?

alu/pom/PC plate
less than a 7 degree angle, preferably 6 or less.

easily sourceable PCB and daughterboard/gaskets /feet etc

VIA compatible(?)

alu 6063, e coat / ano options
I知 new-as-**** and i知 ready to spend on keeb stuff!

The only board that I could find that was this exact layout (or closet to it) was the OGR by AKB, a pretty nice keyboard but it isn't gasket/o ring mount but top mount (which is really nice but may not be what you are looking for) and also I don't think there is a hotswap pcb.

The rama zenith is alright but isn't the exact layout, but fits most of the description and goes for alright prices on the aftermarket. Just please don't buy the board from rama directly, he has still has many unresolved orders and has basically exit scammed, and you do not want to support someone like that.

If I had to pick one of the boards I would go for the OGR, but that's mainly because I like top mount and the aesthetic.

Zenith, Liberi, Ziggurat and LeFishe would work apart from being solder. You could just millmax them, though.

Way too much of a modernist for the OGR but the layout is really chefs kiss. Though I prefer the ~ in lieu of an esc key on the left.
