40rmie

Vendor
p3dstore

Kuro's prototype, with nav top, mirror ss base, and brass grill

Dede's prototype, with nav top, mirror ss base, and ss grill

Jake's prototype, with knob top, Alu base, and brass grill

40rmie KLE including potential Winkeyless option

"The 40rmie came about as my own love letter to a few of my favorite boards in the 40% scene (including the Equinox, V4N4G0N, and Field Trip). What I’ve always enjoyed about 40s was the wide variety of boards available, and from that I wanted to combine what I really enjoyed - a gasket pcb mount keyboard with a 13u ‘big mod’ main cluster, a half numrow, and arrow, fn, and nav cluster. This gives you a little bit of everything that you may want or need with easy functionality, but with a comfortable 40s main cluster.

The board had its initial group buy with an acrylic case designed and made by Jake at P3D in September 2021. While I had made the layout for my own preferences, I ended up being shocked by how popular the board ended up being during the original group buy. After the huge amount of love we got for this board, I wanted to approach my real dream of making my ideal 40% keyboard - a metal case."

-Kuro, designer of the 40rmie pcb and layout.

I was happy to be able to bring this dream to life, making the case compatible with the original pcb and mounting method, while radically redesigning the case from stacked acrylic to a 2 piece cnc'd design, with a cherry front lip, lightly chamfered edges, seamless design, and the same 4 degree typing angle.

Yes, these are projects I've been working on with 2 different vendors for months, sometimes, when you gotta IC, you gotta IC. I promise, last one this week.

hottrout · « **Reply #13 on:** Wed, 29 June 2022, 04:06:03 »

I am intrigued but why the split function row and split number row? What is the benefit of that.

The “uncanny valley” of keyboards…

Very interesting. I wasn't around for the OG 40rmie, so I might try to get in on this one!

Been a minute since the IC was posted, so here's a quick update -

Things are being worked on behind the scenes based on the awesome IC feedback we've received - we're at a crazy 170 responses. It's been quiet but we are making good progress towards getting the GB ready. If you haven't filled out the IC yet, you still can!

Here's a picture of the new v3 revision pcb that will be available along with the case.

I don't see the Hydra cerakote color example on the examples page.

What does that option look like? What color is it?

Pictures aren't up yet but there is a teaser video in the P3D channel in 40s discord, it's like a green-purple shimmer.

This is certainly one of the keyboards of all time. I would prefer having the ; / keys though, but looks like a cool layout. GLWIC!

Oh this is really cute/cool (can't decide).

Good luck with the IC, might follow for a while.
