[IC] Treasure TYPE-30 | Compact 30% Ortholinear

Treasure TYPE-30 | Compact versatile 30% Ortho


 

TYPE-30 is the new ultra compact ortholinear keyboard by Treasure.
Perfect to be used as a big macropad, a compact mechanical dedicated keyboard, an artisan display, that you can use horizontaly or vertically.
Design-wise, Treasure TYPE-30 keep the same design language as our TYPE-9 macropad, with a classic and statutory feel.



The goal was to make a keyboard/macropad that can be used on the go
So a lot of thought went into making the keyboard layouts ( For Solder & hotswap ) to have the best possible experience.






Features

Basic Information
   Ortho 30% : Keyboard / Macropad
   12 collums / 3 Rows
   USB-C connection
   Per-key RGB light
   QMK & VIA support
   Aluminum or Brass Case
   Tray mount with plate ( Same mounting as TYPE-9 )
   Silicone base
   Available in Hotswap & Solderable PCB ( 2u space & 2u enter )
   
Layout
   Option 1 : Hot-swap PCB with fixed layout
   Option 2 : Solderable PCB with 2U enter and 2U space options for more flexibility
   


Keyboard Qwerty Layout ( With 2U Spacebar ) :


   
Finishes

   Aluminum Finishes - Same as the current TYPE-9 Macropad group-buy
      White ( E-Coating )
      Black
      Purple
      Silver
      Green

   Special Editions
      E-Coated Sable color
      Full Brass finishes ( Chrome Mirror / Black Mirror )

Yes, But where is the spacebar?

1 : There is an "invisible spacebar" by the use of the QMK Combo feature.
You hit "space" with your thumb by hitting both 'B' and 'V' keys at the same time ( So the location of where the space bar would be )
One of the advantage of combos is that it allows to keep the same alpha layout as a standard keyboard and does not change your muscle memory.
You can also have a clicky keyswitch on either 'B' or 'V' to have a sound and/or sensory feedback each time you hit the "invisible spacebar"

2 : 2U space bar on bottom row is also possible with the solderable layout.
The challenge here is that the bottom row is splitted in half ( ZXC / VBNM )

Add Ons & Other Info

1 : Target is to launch the GB later this year.
2 : Price will be <$200 and will depend on final QTY

Following add ons are planned for the TYPE-30 :
   TYPE-30 DSA Line set ( Same set as TYPE-9 III, only there are 36 keycaps ) : https://treasuretypes.com/products/type-9-dsa-keycap-set
   TREASURE Standard Feet ( Available in 10 colors to personalize your keyboard ) : https://treasuretypes.com/collections/frontpage/products/type-9-feets-extra
   Extra TYPE-30 Plate
   Extra TYPE-30 PCB
   TYPE-30 Carrying Case ( Red / Grey )

Beautiful. I've been looking for a large macropad option and this would be great. Would love to be able to angle somehow as a macropad will be further away from me, but I know that's the Treasure design language and this is also meant to be an ortho.

Yes I tried with an angle but then you have less flexibility as a macropad.
So perhaps we will release a small accessory for the angle later if there is demand for that.
