(PCB V2 Prototype)
- 07/03/2023: IC Form
- 07/03/2023: The button used in the proto V1 is temporary and require new mold, Testing different pads material (POM (the current pads for V1, require new more sturdy design), Aluminum (Original design still waiting for the new buttons mold), CEM (Pending to test)).
- 07/04/2023: Added my discord & updated the button for bottom mount.
- 07/05/2023: Updated the IC form with plate material section.
- 08/28/2023: Added Caps_lock & Num_lock LED indicators to newest PCB version.
- 10/28/2023: 3D bottom button mold V1 printed (Will opensource it after GB).
- 11/18/2023: Prototype case V2 ordered along with PC pads, There will be another version of pads that I want to test as well (Will post changes once I receive the new proto).
- 12/25/2023: I will offer a hotswap PCB as an option. First I will finish from solder pcb then I will start with hotswap version.
- 12/31/2023: Received prototype V2.
- 01/17/2024: Tested bottom pc pads and need a minor changes.
- 02/01/2024: Got some positive responses from vendors I will list them once everything is settled.
- 02/10/2024: Added renders of the keyboard with layouts. List of vendors is updated.

IntroductionHi geekhack, this is an early IC for my newly design board qfrl100 a FRL 100% layout. This board takes some of characteristics of my previous project the "70O FRL" but instead it utilizes both top and bottom mount using the plate. I intended to add a touch of the design origin like USB cutout which its similar to the 70O but the USB cutout has been changed back to normal in the V2 and instead added my touch into the brass through weight. Not to mention I like also Long Boards ;D.
Please find the details below:
Specifications7.5 degree 100% FRL.
Front H: 17.98 mm (EFH 21.55 mm).
Top and bottom mount.
Brass through weight.
Plate to top case: 7.8 mm.
Plate materials (Aluminum, PC & PP).
Mounting pads + screws 20 M2×0.4 mm (PC or FR4).
QFRL100% PCB 1.6 mm soldered and hot-swap.
PCB layout support: 10U spacebar, Split backspace, ISO enter, 1.25U left shift and 1.75U right shift, 2U and 1U on numpad.
Firmware: QMK, VIA and Vial.
Support Mx and Alps.
Weight unbuilt: ~2.5 KG.
Additional information:
MoreCase W: 437.5 mm* L: 115.2 mm.
Case Back H: 34.466 mm.
Case Bezels: Top & Bottom (9.5 mm), Sides (4 mm).
PCB MCU: atmega32u4.

V1 USB Cutout

V2 vs V1 Corner
Note: The V1 prototype fillet more smooth comparing V2 prototype, I am considering to amend the changes in the final prototype with V1 top case fillet with V2 corners.

Rhienfo:
Looks interesting, bottom mount and alps compatibility is so good to see (10u spacebar is awesome as well)
Good luck with the IC
