Hai,
Basically I had nothing to do this past weeks, and I cant work on Fusion60 because the PCB is still in production. So in my spare time I made 3 keyboard designs. Its based on EM7 and Alice TGR layout. let me know what you guys think, is it good, bad or ugly?
if it's good, which one should i work on after i finish with Fusion60 group buy? i can't work on all three, so we ned to pick one.
the name is still to be consider though, but for now i will call it as it is.
MATARAM

Any plans for a Majapahit with numad on the right side?
-
I am 100% in the Mataram. Funny trivia: Mataram means "They killed" in Portuguese. I guess it's an homage to the fact that you killed it with this board!
-
Mataram is really good! :thumb:
-
Mataram for me!
-
"They killed" is a must buy for me
-

yeah i agree, it would look better as a 'normal' fullsize or atleast make it a fullsize numpad.
-
Mataram! Very nice work!
-
Mataram for me for sure!
-
Oooft, Im 100% for Majapahit, I love the numpad on the left
-
Mataram!
-
I say you set up a poll OP. That'll give you some stats to work with.
-
Honestly these are awesome. If you make this a reality, RIP my pockets lol
-
What kind of price point are we looking for the Mataram? I'd be in for one
-
MAJAPAHIT!! That would be like my dream keyboard for work.
-
Mataram!
-
I would also prefer a Mataram but the lack of right control and right FN is regrettable. The additional three keys being moved to the right is a good idea though, I think.
-
Mataram, but I would probably get any of them to be honest

I'm personally a fan of Majapahit in its current configuration but they all look quite nice.
EDIT: I've been informed Mataram and Singasari have bloody traitorous histories so in the interest of good juju I further my support for Majapahit.
-
I'd be interested in the Mataram
-
ah, those names.
for those who wants to know the lores or the history of the names;
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mataram_Sultanate
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singhasari
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Majapahit
if you have read all of this 3 pages, you will conclude that Majapahit is indeed, the best out of those 3.
-
1. Alice x EM7 x 660
2. Alice x EM7
3. LZ RV x Alice x EM7
Ill prefer the 1. Mataram :D
-
Mataram for me as well!
-
Mataram for sure
-
I prefer the Mataram.
-
Def in for the MATARAM! The rest are just slightly too large for me
-
MATARAM looks great.
Anyway you could fit the full right column of a 65%? Also, I'd kill for a non-WKL version.
-
MAJAPAHIT!
-
if you are doing majapahit, please add more row,
i work with numpad a lot, you need to press enter or + a lot,
it also gonna make more symetrical probly
-
Majapahit with a numpad on the right would be lovely; other than that, Mataram for sure!
-
Mataram definitely has my interest, would love to see that fleshed out!
-
May be able to convince me to buy Mataram. Depends on the price and how much I like my split sx60.
-
Mataram is great!
-
Expanding on why I like Majapahit, it feels like more than just an "I missed Alice/EM7 gbs" board.

That's me alright! :thumb:
I would be in for anything but the Mataram. I wouldn't buy it if its in that layout. That said, I feel like Majapahit is going to be crazy expensive, so Singasari would be my ideal size (I NEED SPLIT RSHIFT IN MY LIFE).
-

To me, it's not an I missed Alice, but an alternative with a layout that I love, as it has nav keys and the shortcut keys to the right. Reminds me of the Clueboard, which is my daily driver right now.
-
These look incredible! My preference is 1. Mataram 2. Singasari 3. Majapahit
-
I'd be down for Mataram for Singasari
-
Majapahit due to symmetry. A 4 column macro/numpad on the left would be perfect, or at least make the current 3 column one full 1u.
Plus, the world need more >80% boards.
-
Job well done. Glad to see people expanding on ergo, this feels quite innovative and I really like it.
Would love to see price projections.
-
Nvm I've reconsidered from my previous reply. I'm liking Mataram, especially if it is the cheapest option! :D
-
MATARAM
YES
-
I like both Mataram and Majapahit :)
-
Vulcan, have you decided which design you'll proceed with?
-
Majapahit
-
Singasari or Majapahit, both are awesome and original. I think having an ergo board with function keys would be great!
-
I'd be down for the Majapahit, but honestly only if another column is added for full numpad support.No space for return, +, or - wouldn't work for me.
-
Can someone who's used an ergonomic keyboard talk to me about the pinky fingers in this design?
Is the right pinky finger able to comfortably touch ' and Enter?
I tilted my hands in an approximation of the shape, and it seemed a little awkward to get my finger to bend that way. Am I overthinking it, or misplacing my hands?
-
So, anything going on with this?
-
I am in for MAJAPAHIT or SINGASARI. Can't decide which yet :-\. In fact I'll take 2. Or maybe one of each. Or two of each so I can decide which I like better and sell the the other ones :cool:
Yes, two of each. :thumb:
When is the group buy? Is it group buy time yet?
-
In!
-
I'll take all three boards! I find the Majapahit board really interesting with the numpad on the left. Might be better even for right handed users who game frequently!
-
MAJAPAHIT!! So awesome!!
-
MAJAPAHIT!
-
Damn that Majapahit is perfect :eek:
Absolutely love the left hand numpad as it is.
The Singasari looks very decent too.
-
count me in :p
-
In for a mataram! :thumb:
-
In for Singasari or Mataram depending on price. Nice designs!
Any update on whether you think this is happening or not?
-
Mataram for me too!
-
Really digging the Majapahit! As a southpaw, left hand numpads are my jam!
-
Majapahit interests me most. Would like to see the usual split-backspace/HHKB-ish support.
-
I am also very in. I missed the Alice and while I can't decide if I like or hate that second angle with the alphas, I think I have to just have one in person to really see. This is the closest way for me to grab one so lets have that GB already. :-D
-
Mataram!
Anyone got renders with keycaps?

Yea he is busy with Fusion, especially since that board is so near GB stage

Oh yah I didn't mean that in a negative way. I'm sure we'll get updates as they happen :). I'm really excited for this to be a thing though.

Same! It looks quite different from the usual custom

Also in for a mataram!

MATARAM
The F row on the second one just makes it look to wacky to my eyes
-
+1 for Mataram. Any updates on this? Really want one, since its so hard to get an Alice.
-
Interested in the Mataram, looking forward to updates.

Awesome! Looking forward to hearing more about it.

Hmm... I have totally missed these posts. This is a rad GB. With all of the Alice love I am sure these will do well.
-
Maybe it's not the OP's priority at the moment, but Majapahit with the ergo design and left numpad is a very unique layout and very promising. :eek:
-
Mataram for me.
-
Will you offer a separate ISO plate for the Mataram?

Nice. Thanks

MATARAM is what i want.
-
So is there any chance that any of the designs will actually happen or is this purely a flight of fancy?

They’ll most likely run after he runs the Fusion60, since that’s really close to gb opening. Looks like Mataram will definitely run, and I would guess the Singasari would either run along side it or after it, and if it ran at all, Majapahit would run last.
-
@Vulcan do you have a rough estimate for the GB? I would like to save up for this keyboard.

The more I look at it, Majapahit is growing on me. But its a 3 column numpad, maybe its without keycaps, thats why it looks weird.
Can we get some keycap renders of 3 column numpad.

Agree that 3 column numpad is a bit weird. Probably OP wants more of a symmetrical design.
Looking forward to the renders with keycaps, too :eek:

In for either a Majapahit or a Mataram

Very interested in SINGASARI, ever since using one of the Microsoft ergo keyboards with a similar split it is something I miss in the custom mechanical keyboard market.

Excuse me, what?! ISO on that? :D I'm in!

A TGR Alice but with arrow keys?
Count me in.
Is this GB going to happen soon now that Fusion60 GB is over?
-
Please make this happen, my body is ready!
-
Mataram Mataram!

Very interested.. Will this be done at KBDFans if it comes to fruition?

Need F-Keys. Really like Singasari + Majapahit in red/brass. TGR Alice is already everywhere.

^This. I believe another community member has been working on a more "budget" acrylic Alice. As much as I would like to see Mataram, I'd also love to see singasari or majapahit get some love!

There are only like 30 TGR Alice iirc, so I wouldn't say its everywhere.

Mataram and Sangasari look really nice :D

SINGASARI or MAJAPAHIT

MAJAPAHIT! Gimme dat PCB

Guys, Mataram now has its own IC and has been renamed Majapahit. So I assume this IC is outdated.
Here's the new one: https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=99203.0

This would literally make the board my dream endgame board. It would probably be better than my realforce
