Title: [IC] Type-B - A true MX HHKB 60%
Post by: paulgali on Tue, 02 August 2022, 02:58:56
Introducing Type-B


Update on 5th April 2023...
GB dates finalized: May 1st to May 15th. Limited quantities of Black and Silver available. FCFS, price dropped to $450 thanks to increased MOQ.


I've grown rather fond of 60% boards lately. Outside of WK/WKL, HHKB 60s often stick to 7u, instead of committing to the original layout.
Type B has one option only - 6u bottom row. I'm not the biggest fan of topre (sorry) but I am in love with the layout.
8 months since the start of the project, here it is.

IC FORM (https://forms.gle/bvSdnWeeCmzXX8gt9)


Specs
- 7 degrees angle
- Adjusted front height of 18.746 mm (see below, measured from the control key area, not spacebars as that would be a useless measurement)
- 7.8mm plate to top case clearance
- Integrated USB hub - this is on it's own daughterboard setup, deliberately designed in a modular fashion to be used in other projects
- MX and custom EC PCBs available (EC will come later, this is just an IC, I still need to test)
- 2 piece brass weights
- "Hotdog" (o ring strips) or top mounted
- 1210g built

Integrated Hub

Currently powered by USB2514 - this chip is EOL, but we have enough in stock to make this work. I'm working tirelessly to upgrade this to USB3.2 spec, but that will make these a lot more expensive.
Why make a HHKB inspired board without this?

Fitted here with a Razer Viper v2 dongle and a USB drive.
My intended purpose for this was to use a MFA FP reader required for my office work, and keeping it somewhat hidden (ie, dont have it stick out) by the ledge above it.

Layout

For those that want to use full backspace / Rshift, ISO, ABNT2, that will be included.
6u bottom row. That is the only thing not optional here

Optional gummy strip mounting, helps keep a firm but not harsh bottom out

As much of the wiring necessary is kept below the weight. Phillips head screws will not be there in the final units, don't shout at me.

Yes - the vertical feet are changing.

Blackout variant - black coated brass weight

The stock engraving. I infilled this with acrylic paint.

Changes

- Internal cable adjustments
- Updated clearance for gummy strips
- Alignment pillars updated
- Plate modifications (for alu plates)
- Custom EC PCB in development

Pricing / Vendors / Unit allocation

- 100 Unit-capped raffle. 50 units Black, 50 units Silver. Still deciding how to configure the weights (coated black or clear).
- When? When I'm happy with all the testing completed. I am at minimum 6 months away from this - just sharing the project now.
- How much? Sub $550 target. Too early to be more accurate. I know it's a lot, I'm praying prices can come down. The single prototype I made cost over $1000
- No manufacturer issues this time, I am over the moon with how this turned out.
- Vendors? SandKeys, Cannonkeys

Reserved

I forgot to mention, I will have 6u wires arranged to come with the board. No need to hassle that way :D
6u DCS compat will also be available, that means, 5u stab support will (hopefully) be easy to add

Banger of a board. really looking forward to it, especially bc of possibility of EC version :cool:

Design it's clean af and I really like the fact that weight has holes that are "just big enough" to accommodate for different height required clearance wise.
USB Hub is a nice addition and if someone wants to put in the effort can definitely have maybe a USB 3.0 version, with maybe one USB-A and USB-C port.

Needless to say I love the board (totally not fanboying bc it's HHKB  :D)

A quick thanks to everyone so far!

Are there any issues preventing you from offering more spacebar support? I would like more spacebar layout support

If the engraving is anything to go by, I'm clearly imitating the Type-S Logo - I want to be (somewhat) faithful to HHKB. There's no issue - I want 6u, and that is not changing.

really nice work. my only worry with this is that fewer and fewer sets these days are supporting 6u spacebars.

Most addon's still support it though, wouldn't you say? With the exception of SP not having usable 6u bars at least :(
Just use WOB, game set and match ;)

sizable portion of recent sets have not been including it, but i agree that just using wob or beige is the right call in all cases

i am, after all, a man who owns like 10 different beige sets

ZOO WEE MAMA THIS IS CLEAN. The double usb port is super cooool, you should name it type-2 since it has 2 usb port. Type-2 is a very sweet name (you get it because type 2 diabetes, and the word sweet in my last comment. It would be very sweet because its cool but it would also relate to diabetes since its sweet LMAO  :)) :)) :)) )

VERY interested to see developments on the EC variant. This would be the first I've heard of someone launching a GB for a totally custom Topre clone. I've seen plenty of after-market cases (Evija, HG), but never the full package. What a time to be an HHKB fan!

May we have a typing test at some point?

EDIT: I should add that the EC variant would be an instant buy for me if it supported QMK/VIA

other than that love to see the 6u

Price is just fine, not every board is designed to be as cheap as logistically possible. You're not just paying for the raw materials/manufacturing, but also the design work, the QC/fulfilment process, R&D into future projects and a little bit of profit so the designer can justify spending time on designing future projects. Either way, there's no need to justify it. The price is what it is, and if you're interested only in boards within a specific price bracket there's plenty of options within it nowadays. :thumb:

IMO, the 6u space bar of HHKB layout can be shrunken further even down to 5.5u from the right side of the space bar.

(https://i.imgur.com/HCXlbZx.png)

HHKB is the only keyboard layout that attempt to position our thumbs more in the middle of the space bar, and help our thumbs to have easier reach to the mods (command and alt keys) on the space bar row.
I prefer to use my thumbs to reach these space bar row mods so that I don't need to move my hands much. If someone is to add 1u keys at the two opposite corners of the HHKB layout, I can accept that those keys at the bottom most corners should be reached by our pinkies - and as such movement involves our whole hand, these corner keys at the bottom row should be assigned less frequently used functions.

Unfortunately this is not something available in key sets from most manufacturers.
NIZ (this Chinese EC keyboard manu) sported some 5.5u in some of its 75% products and not in a true-HHKB layout, in order to squeeze in the 1.25u mods on the space bar row.

6u wires nowadays are mostly DIY iirc.

The Appearance
Who shapes this HHKB?

Is it in the castle?
Does it lie on the road?

The vultures circle, and I stay alive.
The water runs up the wall, upside down!

A shape like a pyramid!
A wonderful Swan!!

love that you can choose between different mounting styles, but a bit confused at the hotdog mounting
why choose this over the normal gummy o ring mount?

Specifically for sound. I don't know why I tried it but I loved it. The f1 gave me the idea but I wanted something different. The same mounts are used on my ergo and that is a joy to use!

This project is mind-blowing!

Price is going to be a fair bit less than what is stated. Still finalizing but it will be announced shortly.

Cannonkeys are confirmed to be on board with this project! We are looking at May for the GB period. Format TBA.

Will the amount of available units/MOQ situation be changing as well?

Just built my first TKL with a similar mounting style (copying F1 as well) and this thing is gonna be FIRE FIRE FIRE, guaranteed. Gimme dat hotdog.

Whats up with the DCS 6u spacebars? Is offering support for them still part of the plan?

Currently powered by USB2514 - this chip is EOL, but we have enough in stock to make this work. I'm working tirelessly to upgrade this to USB3.2 spec, but that will make these a lot more expensive.

I assume in the context of the $100 drop in price that this upgrade didn't make the cut, but wanted to double check. Is it still the 2514?

is EC compatibility still confirmed? doesn't look like there's an add-on kit for it or any real mention of it on either vendor's website.
nm, joined the discord and saw it's still planned for the future as of 4/7.

Just wanted to check in on this. Is EC going to be an option later? Also, I can't seem to make it to the discord. It the link on the original post just leads to discord in general and not a specific server.
