Title: [IC] CU40 / CU7 / CU21 - Need Feedback!
Post by: CAPS UNLOCKED on Mon, 09 December 2019, 08:38:19

Hi All!

After the success of the CU65 and CU80 we have been thinking about the next kits to produce.

At the moment we have three layouts:


CU40



[attachimg=1]


A 40% mechanical keyboard kit that offers support for ANSI/ISO, Hot-swap sockets, QMK compatability and a high-profile Aluminium case.


CU7


[attachimg=2]

A macro pad with rotary encoder. The macro pad will have hot-swap sockets, QMK compatability, a high-profile case and USB ports to allow for USB passthrough.

CU21


[attachimg=3]




A numpad that will also feature hot-swap sockets, QMK compatability and a high-profile case. The CU21 will match the gradient and height of the CU80.


We have made a quick feedback form to get your thoughts on what we should produce next.

We know that the CU65 and CU80 are still due to be completed and we will not be announcing anything while both of those GB's are still open and active.

I'm interested to see how the macro pad and numpad develop. If both are premium and available in neutral colors, I would want them to go with smaller boards.

If the macropad pairs nicely with the CU65 then I would def grab one.

Filled out the form, might want to make the question about other layouts not required though

2u right shift and 2.5u enter? gonna have compatibility issues with a lot of keysets if people don't want ISO...  Also the other layout needing 2x 1.75u r4 caps...

CU40 looks really fun! About time we had some more ISO to have fun with. CU21 would be genuinely nice, very interested in both.

I didn't realize that was 2.5u. Does that even exist? Let's definitely stick to more commonly available key sizes.

If the numpad pairs well with the CU65, I am definitely getting it

I'd be more interested in a numpad matching the cu65, than the cu80.

Nice layout on the CU40. Can you have ISO support while having hotswap? Not sure how that would work.

really interested in CU21!
hotswap, qmk and high profile is just perfect for me.
it'll be USB Type C, right?

Edit: any ETA when it'll run?
