[IC] Infinity Style Number Pad

Infinity Style Number Pad

Hey guys! This is my first post on GeekHack. I usually post a lot on Reddit and I wanted to start posting here as well.

Anyway, the body will be made of either brushed aluminum or stainless steel. It is the same concept as the 60% Infinity on Massdrop where its just a bent metal plate with switches on it and a PCB attached under it. For a bit extra we could probably offer a CNC milled anodized aluminum case. A controller is yet to be decided upon.

Pricing would most likely be as follows:
$50 for bare kit with plate, switches, and keycaps.
$80 for aluminum milled version.

Here is a render:
98547-0

Please fill out this Google Form so I can get an idea of what you guys want.

Sorry for any formatting errors as this is my first post on Geekhack.

What are the potential controller options? For something as slim and small as a number pad a black PCB with a built in controller is what I would prefer aesthetically. Due to the design having wires or a Teensy hanging off of it would put me off to it, at least to me.

Yep, that's exactly why I was going with a PCB. As for the conteller, I may just go with the common Teensy or and atmel of some sorts.

What would the MOQ for a PCB with a built in controller? The more streamlined it is, the better it will look.

Especially with the bent body.

30 is the number the manufacturer and I set. Shouldn't be too hard to reach I hope. Especially with it being a relatively cheap item.
