Title: [IC] YKH33 - Steampunk style 33% with Polycarbonate
Post by: DGX_Shin on Wed, 03 April 2019, 01:52:39

Hello everyone,

We are DGX_Team from Vietnam and we would like to introduce to you a YKH33, a 33% steampunk Mechanical Keyboard project.

(https://i.imgur.com/mikKTVl.gif)

Motivating and Original Ideas

- I personally like Steampunk and Retro so I decided to show all the ingredients on PCB.
- From ideas of everyone can assemble it, We chose to use Teensy and Pro-Micro and Fully QMK keymap. Further more, it will decrease end - product cost.
- Depending on personal hobby, we design a non-cover case / Half-Case / Full-Case.
- We had added Switch pillar to make it stable while typing :).

(https://i.imgur.com/dKawVWY.jpg)

Finished products:
- 11x3 Layout and First Column can use keycap 1.25u
- MX Cherry Switch and support ALPS
- Compatible with Teensy and Pro-Micro
- Fully QMK Keymap
- All components are brought up on the circuit.
- 18 SMD Led for everyone :wink:
- Two Encoder Rotary.
- Chagelog / Bug Fix

(https://i.imgur.com/XTxWFE8.jpg)

Ver 2.0:
Change name to YKH30
Add 1 col to make it easy to use
Add more layout - Split Arrow
Add 1 knobs to dim RGB Led
Imgur image: https://imgur.com/gallery/gLgeBxO (https://imgur.com/gallery/gLgeBxO)

Ver 1.1: Ready to run GB or In-Stock
Fix wrong Rotary wire
Fix Pro-Micro problem

Ver 1.0:
Wrong wire Encoder rotary ==> Fixxed
Wrong pin for Pro Micro ==> Wire it to use - Fixxed


Expected price:
1. PCB
PCB without Teensy / Rotary / Diodes and Resistor: $ 35
Teensy + Encoder (We have only Teensy): $ 10
Diodes and Resitor: $ 5
Led 5050 (20 pieces): $ 8

2. Case: We will share CAD file for you when you get PCB :). If you want us make it so there are a price :).
Bottom Polycarbonate with Srew and Stand-off: $ 11
Half-Case (Bot, Case and 5mm) Polycarboante - No switch-cover with Screw and Stand-off: $ 30
Full Casse Polycarbonate with Switch-cover with Screw and Stand-off: $ 35
Repeat: We will share CAD files so you guy can make it yourself :).

Hope to hear from everyone before running next week :).

The Plaid (https://reddit.com/r/mechmarket/comments/apf0ng/gb_plaid_throughhole_kit_12x4_ortholinear/) was such a neat idea, I’m happy that more people are taking inspirations from it.

That said, why only 3 rows? Just use the Planck or even Preonic layout. Way easier for people to commit.

Wow it look nice ;). This one aim to mobile who want to bring their keyboard around or use it with ipad. But we image about TKL with this design ;).

Personal question: which do white button use for?

And another: Are you vietnamese?

I am note sure if I can go lower than 42-keys, but this project is so ambitious, there is no other keeb I would rather try to go lower on than this one.

It’s a boot switch. You hold it + the reset button to enter flash mode.
And yes. In fact, I’m pretty sure I met you IRL before, in one of those meetups.

Infact, my first idea is “steampunk” but with a first version it look like cyperpunk or tron. Lol.

Anyway i think i will change name to oldstyle to step away with a “name” problem.

Board looks sick, but too small for me to be functional, and I'm not a fan of this trend of having the diodes all in one location away from the corresponding pads. I'd be interested in something between a 40% and a 65%.

Don't know if anyone else mentioned it, but there's a word that sits right in the middle between steampunk and cyberpunk. It's. Retrofuturism. Think second (the new one) Blade runner

I agree with some other comments and I'd rather commit to 60/65% board. Ideas like taking layout from preonic are also appealing.

It really depends on how you look at it.
I guess Blade Runner 2 could be considered retrofuturistic because it was meant to resemble a past view of the future (the original Blade Runner), but since it is rather faithful to the setting of the original which is generally considered cyberpunk (despite taking influence from noir films and the like its vision of the future was fairly earnest). Similar to Neuromancer and Ghost in the Shell, cyberpunk used to just be grungy contemporary (80's) scifi, but now its become a genre essentially frozen in time like westerns or mobster movies.
