【IC】Compact and Exquisite Desktop Toy — Cupid Pad
« on: Fri, 05 January 2024, 00:30:26 »
Hello everyone this is CHAOSERA
Long time no see!


Firstly, we want to express our gratitude for the continuous support and love from all of you. We will keep working hard to bring even better products to you.
In previous posts, we shared some information about upcoming products.

Today, we are officially introducing the IC for Cupid Pad.







From the inception of Cupid65's design, we had the idea of developing more derivative products based on it.
After the Cupid65 group buy concluded, we started conceptualizing the Cupid series products early on.
The rounded appearance and exquisite titanium decorative strips on the sides were elements we were determined to retain.
Many ideas were explored during discussions, including Cupid75, Cupid TKL, and even Cupid100, all being considered. Currently, our choice is to start with Cupid Pad.


In terms of structure.
We have improved the installation method compared to Cupid65.
The small board is still fixed on the top cover.
However, to avoid difficulties in wiring during installation, the base of the Type-C port is designed to be movable.
When assembling the pad, we can leave the cable out first, connect the daughter board last, and then push the base into the port of the pad.




At the same time, compared to Cupid65, we further optimized the screw positions inside, eliminating unnecessary steps.
This gives us a larger internal space, theoretically resulting in further improvement in sound.
By the way, according to user feedback, Cupid65 performs well without the foam insert.
Interested users can try assembling it without the foam, and we believe that with continuous optimization, we can achieve even better results.

As mentioned earlier, we aimed to retain design elements such as the rounded shape and titanium decorative strips on the sides.
Therefore, Cupid Pad and Cupid65 have minimal differences in appearance, with adjustments made to the frame width, proportions, and other aspects to enhance the overall aesthetics. With the playful attributes of the pad, Cupid Pad appears more compact and cute, making it suitable for use as a desktop decoration, offering a unique and charming aesthetic.









We have redesigned patterns for the three titanium decorative strips with more intricate details for users to choose from.
The size of the titanium strips is identical to those on Cupid65, allowing for easy interchangeability between the two.







In terms of color options,
based on the sales data of Cupid65, we have chosen five color schemes with high acceptance among users.
Additionally, based on your preferences, we will introduce the remaining color schemes corresponding to Cupid65 or even try out new ones that haven't been attempted before.
We welcome everyone to express their opinions!


Ano-silver


Ano-purple


Ano-red


E-coating-pink

E-coating-white


Furthermore, Cupid Pad will feature a three-mode hot-swappable PCB using QMK firmware.

The expected price for Cupid Pad is $139, and it will be available in kit and pre-assembled options. Currently, we are actively working on prototypes. Interested friends can join our Discord group for the latest updates.
