Colors: What you see is what you get, as this is my first keyboard I'd prefer to have one option for simplicity's sake

Based on the renders, it looks like all the cases and bottom pieces are the same colors, but the rotary joysticks seem to have different color options. Will the rotary joysticks have different options for colors, and if so could we purchase multiple to have options for keysets?

this is all a scheme to make people buy $50 40s kits they don't need for 1 key

What's the name of the keycap set on this?

This set doesn't exist, I threw it together quickly solely for rendering purposes.

Colors: What you see is what you get, as this is my first keyboard I'd prefer to have one option for simplicity's sake

Based on the renders, it looks like all the cases and bottom pieces are the same colors, but the rotary joysticks seem to have different color options. Will the rotary joysticks have different options for colors, and if so could we purchase multiple to have options for keysets?

If I can make it work, that's the plan.

I did consider it, do the nature of the plate it isn't possible at the moment. If I can figure out a way to add ISO support without compromising the integrity of the plate, I will.

The stuff is hella strong and durable compared to regular 6061, and not even really comparable to some of the softer cast alloys.

Yeah, you usually put in some required parameters, and then let it randomly generate the structure. In this case I'm assuming there's a specific area, specific density, maybe even material strength equation, some branching limitation, etc. Then you just let it go to town.

I’ve looked at this board multiple times is there something I’m not seeing??  :eek:

The layout uses 1.5u key for shift. There are hardly any sets that have 1.5u shift key. You either have to use other 1.5u r4 keys like control, alt or manu, or 1.5u novelties. I personally am not a fan of using keys in place of spots that are not intended for them. Novelties are fine, some sets comes with 1.5u novelties in their base kit like gmk olive, and some sets don't offer novelties, not even as kits.

I suggested tweaking the layout to use 2u left shift. More sets are starting to include 2u shift in base kits, like GMK Mizu, GMK Fuyu GMK Darling and GMK Future Funk to name a few. The layout will change the stagger and you may need to get used to the layout, though it may be for everyone, but at least it can help to solve the compatibility issue. It would be nice too if the pcb could accept both layouts so you can choose to go with 2u left shift or 1.5u right shift, but I imagine that would add more work to the pcb designer and complicate the plate design, increasing the overall cost.

I agree. I'm not sure though if there will be a big adjustment on my part, having a 2u left shift key. I am already planning on having a PCB made with that specific layout just to try it out and maybe have a keyboard made based on that layout. The spacing looks so good that I want to try it so bad.

The issue with doing that is that the plate is integrated and layout is fixed. If he were to allow you to use a smaller left shift, all the alphas would need to stagger and I'm not sure how that work considering the design/cut of that integrated plate.

Yeah you're right, now that you mentioned it, the integrated plate is quite unique. I didn't notice that the plate was designed with flex cuts. It can have wider holes, but due to the design of the plate, that would compromise the rigidity of the plate.  The plate actually reminded me of the carbon fiber 60% plate on kbdfans.

1. Can you define the order in which the plate is "solved" by the generative algorithm? For example, optimize alphanumeric to design spec then modifiers then arrow keys. Wont fix your problem but might move it to someplace no one really cares about.

2. Is the plate uniform thickness? Can the generative algorithm take your 2d planar constraint around each switch and optimize its depth to add (or remove) stiffness? If you do the metal sintering process for the plate I would imagine it would still be manufacturable.

I'll think on it a bit more but figured I'd get a conversation started earlier than later.

That's the correct order, alphas -> space -> mods -> numrow -> f-row -> column -> arrows.

Whether this order truly affects generation, I don't know.

2. Is the plate uniform thickness? Can the generative algorithm take your 2d planar constraint around each switch and optimize its depth to add (or remove) stiffness? If you do the metal sintering process for the plate I would imagine it would still be manufacturable.

I'll think on it a bit more but figured I'd get a conversation started earlier than later.

The plate is uniform thickness, correct. I heavily considered printing the entire case but was concerned about cost and finishing quality. Furthermore, thickness variation doesn't actually buy me all that much. +5-10% uniformity or so

It's a genuine concern for many who are into 75% boards but not own 40% boards/caps, though I agree that layout changes sacrificing 'correct' alpha stagger isn't the way to go about it.

Perhaps a 1.5u Rama artisan to go along with this keyboard could make everyone happy.

It's kinda funny that people are complaining about the 1.5u shift. If you have ever owned a 40% you would understand it is not a big deal. And changing the stagger is a big no-no.

It's a genuine concern for many who are into 75% boards but not own 40% boards/caps, though I agree that layout changes sacrificing 'correct' alpha stagger isn't the way to go about it.

Perhaps a 1.5u Rama artisan to go along with this keyboard could make everyone happy.

that Rama artisan idea is a really good idea
ahaaaa, keyboard. HOVA

Didn’t even see that it has a 1.5u shift, kinda weird thing in the keycap department. Easy to fill with alt/control or whatever but still weird.

Love to see projects like this pushing the boundaries and busting up conventional design.  I had thought I was done buying boards for a while, but this is innovative enough that I'm going to try really hard to get one.
