Initial Prototype
What's changed since the prototype?
Modified the overall design a little bit:
- Tightened the case slot, more aligned with the keycaps
- Centered the USB port
- Rounded the outer corners for a more pleasant look
- The overall "extrusion" of the case
What's next?- Finish refinement of the design
- Consider review units to send out
- Consider possibilities of included keycaps
- Consider molded feet, rather than diecut
- Consider plate standoffs for easy reassembly, or an alternative
- Consider other case materials, such as brass, stainless steel, PC, etc.
- Consider final colors, and ano vs e-coating
