Wrist rest

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

Wrist rest is a concept, will not be polycarbonate because it is too large to be PC and will definitely yellow overtime.
Most likely if this is going to come to reality the body might be anodized aluminum or wood (not decided yet)
and will have an colored anodized aluminum accent at the end of it.

Unfortunately, I tried and it is possible but the position of the keys would be similar to an ortholinear and would be awkward. This isn't the final design, I still am trying ways to add ISO support.

It might be added to the next revision the model!

What I like about the old layout is the extra key next to the "T" key, as for those who press "Y" with both left and right fingers might bind that. I think adding it back to the new layout could make it more easier to adjust.

Yes, yes , yes.  Love everything about this, a full size alice for work.  Are you going to do a southpaw as well or replace this design with it?  Please if possible run this version first.  If I can also suggest that you run the wrist rest for it at the same time as the correct wrist rest is needed for proper alice use.

Good luck with this.

Planned on also modelling a custom wrist wrest for this. Will see how it goes if the people like it or not.

I'll probably make it an option for extras.

Very unlikely. Most likely depends on demand which layout receives the most attention and that will be the final layout.

There will be soon an IC Form to determine what majority of people like. (Southpaw or not)

For now this is a non-southpaw board.

Interesting project. Do you care to provide more details about the mounting system and case screws? The renders do a fine job of explaining the exterior but there is nothing for the internals.

You are going "screw-less", but the only way I can see that being possible(based off the renders you have provided) is having 4 screws under the feet(which isn't enough for even a 60% gasket board).

I'm very confused about the move to a south-paw design. This is generally a polarising opinion. Is this something you actually wanted to do before posting the IC, and couldn't decide on? Or are you just accomodating to requests made by people in this thread? It's been live for a day and you're fundamentally changing the layout and will have to remodel everything. This is incredibly odd for a personal project but makes sense if you're just designing for what "people want"(which isn't the way to go about projects imo).

I personally deteste designer names or logos on the exterior of boards("designed by X") because I believe it only serves a purpose for the board designer and no one else. I think an internal engraving is much more fitting for this application. Understandable if you wouldn't want to make this change; I understand it's an opinion.

Thanks for you reply, I wanted to create a keyboard for myself and the community too. But I couldn't decide if whether people wanted southpaw or not. (I don't mind southpaw or not). So I created an IC Form for the community to decide whether they want southpaw or non.

I'm just showing the incomplete version of the non-southpaw version of the model. Screws will be from the top of the board, not under the feet.

The brass weight will also have some changes in the second model.
I also plan on removing that designed by yoboard and adding a aesthetic logo instead.

I know you can't see them but I will only complete this model (non-southpaw) if the community prefers this layout. For now, there is no point putting any more work into this model until the community votes on the layouts in the IC form.

Thank you! I'll update the renders when the IC form is complete.

I need to know if the community prefers a southpaw or non-southpaw layout. Then I will do a remodel of this keeb.

For now the renders just show a representation of the board. (non-southpaw)

Thanks, I see you have updated the IC with details around PCB (ESD protection, etc).

Once the design has progressed that far, I would like an exploded view, like huey asked earlier as well, to show the internals. And if you could also organise some renders of the board with some keycaps, in planned colours, that would be great.

Love the non-southpaw!

I was pissed I JUST missed the FLX Virgo which is essentially this keyboard, with with 10-key.  And I work in IT and use the 10-key a TON!  Would be perfect keeb.


I would also like to see color renders.  HUGE fan of the Dark Purple, Dark Green, Deep Burgundy color swatches.


Cheers!

What does Gasket + Top mount mean
Can you do more renders
Do you have a prototype coming

I have enough budget for a prototype. Gasket means there are foams on the side of the plate to dampen sound and reduce vibrations when typing and top mount means it's mounted to the top frame of the keyboard.

There's an IC form to determine the final layout of the design. Once it is done I will design the case and PCB and have the prototypes ready by then.

You will use o-ring for the gasket mount?

No, it will be foam. The material of the foam is not decided yet. But i'm thinking of neoprene.

Love the southpaw version. Only I would change is not have a spacer/gap that elavates the F1~F12 row, in doing so it will resemble a true 1800 compact layout. This is insta buy!

- Rotary Encoder
- ISO Support
- Mirrored Numpad

nice to see iso support, although i thought it was impossible on alice-style boards curious to see how it will work.
and being left handed on computers (my mouse is on the left, i am somewhat ambidextrous, depends on what i do) i do not really understand how having the numpad on the left helps, i would actually think that to be better for right handed peoples? or am i completely wrong in understanding that southpaw layouts were for lefties?

some people who play these Video Games prefer having more space for their mice with compact boards and with a southpaw you can have more Space for your mouse AND still have Numpad :-)

Purely for ergonomic or aesthetic preferences. There was an IC form between Southpaw and non-southpaw layout and southpaw won by a significant.

I understand why this board is southpaw, what i did not understand was the popularity of southpaw, because my understanding was that it was meant to be more ergonomic for left handed peoples, and that made no sense to me, but someone else corrected my wrong beliefs on the subject
still rather curious about how the iso is going to fit, as i stayed away from alice for the lack of ISO support.

I can assure the ISO fits quite nicely! It took me a week trying to make it fit without ruining the alice layout symmetry.

got really excited about the extra key on the left side y-spot, but i see that it's gone now. i feel like this is the biggest issue i have with split keebs as i tend to lean right with my right hand (finnish speaker/writer here, so heavy usage of the scandi keys).
would love to get a full size alice (don't really care if the numpad is regular or southpaw as long as there is a fully functional one) for my home studio, but not so keen on added rotary or oled.

i'll follow the progress with great interest. good luck with everything!

- Mountain Alice is only going to be Southpaw. YB has another project called Alice Everest which is the non-southpaw version.
- AFAIK colours are still being decided. YB may do another poll for colours, or only provide colours the manufacturer can make.

Hope this helps!

Was their really more votes for southpaw than for not?  I am really surprised at that.  Maybe southpaw user got excited and voted (understandably) but non southpaw users did not bother.  I love this board design for what it sets out to do but I would prefer if it was not southpaw.

Mate, I suggest a rose gold version of it. My wife would want a board on such color to match it with KAM Bouquet, and maybe more people would want it as well

You can't satisfy everyone, and moreover, you did a survey which showed North paw is the meh one in most cases

I know bottoms aren't that often looked at. But when I change boards around I often look at the back of some and smile at some designs. I know i is just mentally, but a nice bottom like on the Iron165 is imo always better than just a monotone colored backplate

It's just like having a nice watch with a finely engraved rear backing. It makes the owner feel good knowing that it's there. On top of that, a luxury watch that's missing craftsmanship like that would seem incomplete. You may not understand it, but this hobby is full of people who find value in fine details that most people will never see.

Ditto.  Some of the details I have appreciate the most were actually inside the keyboard where they will never be seen once assembled.

well technical details, yeah, they are cool even when not seen, because they accomplish something, like optical or magnetic boards, but purely visual details, i feel like it is a waste, although i am a technician, not an artist, to me technical aspects are far more interesting than the beauty of something. i use an FK9200 for its rather strange switches and calculator, neither being particularly striking.
(and to be clear i am not against the option of having an exposed weight, i do not care about it in the slightest one way or the other, i just could not wrap my head around the reasoning for it)

Your phone and computer both have exact time. Then why people are wearing mechanical watches ?

Post by: yui on Tue, 04 May 2021, 09:38:12
well i do not have my phone on me at all time, and my windows 10 pc has a bugged out clock, it decided one day to use the background color as foreground for the clock, rendering it unusable. and to me mechanical watches are a technical masterpiece, so small, so precise, so little energy. (and ik a radio controlled digital would be more precise but would it work out of your wasted energy? and only with springs and mechanical linkages.)

mechanical watch = optical analog switches = mechanical computers etc -> technically very interesting even when hidden
ornate bottom weigh or insides = art stuck in a private collection for no one to ever see -> utterly pointless and a waste of time to me

that is only my opinion though, as i said, i am not against it existing, especially if it is an extra option and those who do not care can get the whole board for a bit cheaper.

You didnt get the point at all did you. How can you see the mechanism of the watch (if it's not a skeleton one) ? Most of them have a window on the back, that's actually hidden all the time (when the watch is being worn). Some of these mechanisms are heavily decorated by manual labor that cost a fortune.

that is only my opinion though, as i said, i am not against it existing, especially if it is an extra option and those who do not care can get the whole board for a bit cheaper.

i got the point that some value art more than technical aspects, i am in this hobby for the technical aspects of it, the rather ridiculously complex switches that manufacturer built and the upmost simplicity and elegance of other designs. although my budget is rather tight so i can't really go all out and not care about price.
(and yeah both my current watches are skeletons but my previous ones were not, my 1st did not even have a window. and i kinda wish to have that Seiko too now, seems to be rather interesting :) )
i tried to explain myself to not start a full on war, seems to have made things worse, sorry.

(i'll be short since it's OT) Seiko made both electronic watches that use an automatic mechanical winding system (Seiko Kinetic series), and full mechanical watches (very high end, prices are reflecting that, Grand Seiko "spring drive" models like the famous Snowflake) that are regulated with a quartz for maximum precision and have a continuous seconds hand movement (since the escapement is not mechanical). Both are amazing indeed. Again in usage you will not see the said mechanism, apart if you flip the watch over and peer through the window (for the Grand Seiko models).

"Internal of mounting which is top mount + burger mount with o-rings
Plate is sandwiched between o-rings from bottom and top."

is the o-ring compressed between the plate and the top?
i recommend a mechanical end-of-stroke to avoid damage to the oring.
standart compression limit for oring are:
ø1.27 oring - 0.85mm
ø1.52 oring - 1.10mm
ø1.78 oring - 1.25mm
ø2.62 oring - 2.05mm
ø3.53 oring - 2.80mm

Yes, there are two o-rings on each mounting point, sandwiching the plate between o-rings.

One question - have you thought about a gray color? I see that in two-tone renders there are some gray parts, but none of them are on top. I'd love to see a render of a gray top and maroon bottom (kinda reverse of the first two-tone render).

I think it's currently in the PCB prototyping phase.

Last update on Discord was on 12/12:

============

Hey @everyone, since the Mountain Alice is complete and the physical and PCB specifications can be found here: <#820402133487714344> .

Prototyping stages is going to start, will keep you updated on the process.

============

So if the PCB specs are there, I’m not sure whether they’re prototyping the board itself or the PCB at this time.

Hi guys,

Gondo here. This project is being moved to another designer due to ghosting from the previous designer and vendor. The designer I am working with is bowl, and here is a link to their discord: https://discord.gg/WPe84jX68d
