Good day fellow enthusiasts
I've spent years in this hobby trying to perfect my crafting of bespoke input devices. Combining the knowledge I've absorbed through lurking pools of wisdom like #kb-kustoms I feel like I have finally reached absolute summit game. I'd love to present you the pinnacle of custom mechanical keyboards: 'tISOstupid.

Layout
We have long come to the conclusion that the superior key in keyboards is the ISO enter. Users like Blacksimon and Pwner have gone on daring expeditions trying to extract the purest ISO juice out of this marvellous key. Building upon their great research I realised that the key was to arrange said keys in their natural shape. This strongly magnifies the magical powers these little bricks of plastic posses. Running 1 click simulations in Fusion we estimate by up to 96.9999 fold (please note hitting 97 kind of power is not yet possible as it requires the cost of our own humanity and emotions).
Mounting
'tISOstupid will use a whole new type of mounting we named mattress mount. Each key has an individual plate. The plate holding the switch is pressed into an upper plate by 4 individual springs with a gasket in-between the top and middle plate. Using 4 springs on each plate makes for a sort of "switch within a switch". The total sandwhich would be upper plate - gasket - mounting plate - springs - bottom. Users can also switch out these springs to adjust the typing experience to their needs. To keep all these plates separate each switch will also have it's own PCB connected with short JST cables in-between. This way the typing experience on each of your ISO enters will be identical with no issues like a flexier plate in the middle.
FAQ
Will you actually make this?
Yes
This seems kinda useless?
Yes
Won't this be insanely expensive to manufacture?
Yes
Won't this probably sound awful from all the metal on metal contact in the mounting system?
Yes
This is so stupid
Yes

This is absolutely ridiculous...I love it

I'll take your entire stock

Will I be able to set my mattress number different than my partners mattress number? We like to type differently so we’d prefer to have our own mattress firmness.

Considering the target audience of this hobby we did not take partners into account in our research.
-
It's not April 1st for me yet, so this must be legit.
-
Can you add a 6.9 incline angle

What are the chances you will offer a top right blocker? I'd love to pair one with my 910 and Kyuu

You really should have considered the pair programming audience. I guess I’ll have to stick with my Serta ANSI mattropad for now!

Suggesting the blocking of ISO keys is non acceptable behaviour. We prefer to not do business with people with people who hold hateful beliefs like this and are obliged to inform you your customer account has been suspended.

this mans crazy
-
Really excited to see this coming. Thanks for sharing. If you need an EU proxy lemme know :thumb:
-
Yes
-
Can we get an ANSI version? I need this
-
At least in the image as it stands now, the leftmost keys are rotated in the wrong direction. I assume your plate/PCBs will allow 180° rotation so this can be set up by the user the way he or she sees fit.
-
Also, will there be a cheaper version, based on "thin ISO" Enter keys, available, for the budget-minded among us?

INNOVATION

Do I need this?
Yes

I'd like to join this GB, it's beautiful!
Can we get a banner please?
-
This is stupid. I love it.
-
Will this have FULL ISO support?
Thanks.
-
Will this have FULL ISO support?
Thanks.
I'd like to have this confirmed too before I get in on this. ISO is a pretty important factor for me
-
Hello my name is Simon and I fully support this revolutionary project!
-
Now I'll have a place to put all my pointless and unnecessary (just use ansi) iso enters....
-
ISO kit pls
-
-6.9 deg angle pls sir
I'll take 10
-
Hi, new to the hobby, I’m thinking this will be my first board. V excited :thumb:
-
Look, just make sure it supports the VIA config and we're good mmmkay?
-
Finally a place to put all my ISO Enter artisans.
-
I'll take your entire stock
-
Are you considering any other colours?
-
Can't unsee old mac os logo
-
Please implement hotswap . Thanks :thumb:
-
I am truly speechless :blank:
-

This means a lot to me dad
-

Do you also request a Big Mac while sitting in a 3 star restaurant? We don't talk about low quality keys like that here.
-

Thanks.

I can confirm that ISO is avail in FULL glory.
-
Wow - people won‘t request an extra B in the future - they‘ll request 7 extra iso-enter keys :thumb:
-
This is the keyboard we deserve.
-
Love the fractal design!
-
Love the fractal design!
Deck this out with The International Kit novelty enters for even more ISOception!
-
So uh... just to be sure: Was this purely an April Fool's joke or will you really try and release this? This is so stupid, i kinda need one as a macro pad. As long as it's not insanely expensive that is...
(Yeah ok, i don't need it.. but i want it!)
-
I'm under the impression that this was purely an april fools joke... but I'm not totally sure. ;D
-
Yes we need this
-
We have come far.
-
I suppose I need something to put all my leftover ISO keys on...
-
finally, a board to put all my useless iso caps on
-
Good thing you are actually doing this, been a while.
Manufacturing by salvun?
-
As a fellow ISO user, I'll take it
-
It's stupid, but I want it.
-
The thread title alone made me lol... then I clicked it.. :-\ mind broken at level of coolness.
-
Now all we need is a huge ISO keycap to fit it
-
ok now, this is actually cool.
-
Why is this actually appealing?
-
i was so excited, then i saw that this was a post from last year on april 1 :(
-
Yes.
-
Yes.

keyboards have peaked :p

Could 8 of these feasibly be combined to say, an even bigger ISO-enter macropad?
