[IC] HardLineWorks - Nura Custom TKL

[gadzkun]

interest cheeeckkkkkk............

after lurking here and there, spent many times in making some artisan, now i have some desire that about to explode, and that is to make my own custom keyboard so here i go with my first attempt in making a custom TKL!

i called it, HardLineWorks - Nura

Nura named from a women i marry last march , now i proud to call myself a MAN!

after having and taste some custom keyboard, i have some design in mind and i want to share it with you guys











design is already fix at this time and i already submit an order for prototype,

this is the specs that i had in mind and i pour it into reality (dang!):

- layout is WKL only (ANSI)
- material is aluminum 6061 T6 - RU
- case is 5° angled
- plate option aluminum(red), brass(hand polished), copper(hand polished), PC(clear), FR4(white gold), POM(white), Half or Full
- case compatible with koala, jane v2, whale plate
- weight is sandblasted (about weight design i still need to test it, will it work or not)
- PCB H87C v1.8 Thin (will be provided by our one and only hiney), case is compatible with all H87 v1.8 PCB
- USB hole compatible with USB-C and Mini USB
- case anodizing color black, gray, silver
- double mounting, top and gummy-worm
- gummy using silicon A60 red brick color

to do list :
- prototyping on progress will update frequently, taking a picture, etc
- typing test
- pricing
- number of slots
- GB time
- production deadline
- merch
- box package
- anddddd??? hmmm i think thats it for now..

Update Log
7/2/20 - adding brass plate
7/2/20 - ANSI layout only
7/14/20 - adding plate oprion, brass(hand polished), copper(hand polished), PC(clear), FR4(white-gold)

i wish i could be proud to call myself a MAN

glwic, it looks really nice.

just to clarify, by 'gasket' do you mean gummyworm gasket? like jane v2 ce etc?

[ttom]

this is so korean, like it a lot. looking forward to seeing proto.

yeah, this board is like you :blush:

[xIHA]

Love the 456gt style weight

[Puddsy]

oh boy another corsa style board

[PikaJoyce]

Not bad!!! Would like more details! Otherwise, I like the classic design. Keeping an eye on this!

[Lenux]

Really classic and nice design i like it !

Excited to see pictures of prototypes good luck

[BuddhaBen]

slim boiiiii

[dallman5]

oh boy another corsa style board

I was thinking it was a mix of the Corsa's bezels, 456GT's weight, and a Mech27's sides. Oh and Koala/Whale/Jane V2 plate, obviously.

That said it looks like it comes together quite nicely, and I'm also a big fan of the 5 degree angle.  Looking forward to a proto!

[bisoromi]

simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight

[ubmit]

simple and classic

I like it!

edit: will there be more plate options?

[LightningXI]

I slammed that Notify button

[PigeonsLikeBread]

Looks good!

[Ensaum]

What's a gummyworm gasket? Is that like an o-ring that goes around the plate? Or are there strips of gasket material on the plate?

[catamscott]

this is really gorgeous, very very interested! 

[ramnes]

Love it my MAN

[mattv]

Interested in a clean TKL. 

[dallman5]

Gummyworm typically refers to o-ring AFAIK

nice

Another guy mentioned Jane ce mounting which i believe is o ring too correct?

[tommyhongg]

I'm very interested, will be following this project closely. 

[gadzkun]

edit: will there be more plate options?

plate option i try ask manu first, and if its possible i can add fr4, brass and copper, i really want to add PC plate to option, but i can't make it for now.

Update: 7/2/20 - brass plate possible only if reach 20 moq

[DraKenZ]

Interested. 

[beamingrobot]

sick stuff bro, feel free to hmu if you need help 

[Prelim]

ISO or universal plate possible?

[persocom]

I know it's still early, but any thoughts on what kind of buy this would be (raffle, fcfs, etc.)?
would love to get my hands on one of these !

[gadzkun]

sick stuff bro, feel free to hmu if you need help 

thanks man, will do

ISO or universal plate possible?

for now its ansi only, i want to keep it simple and fast for my first debut custom board 

-- update log : layout ansi only

I know it's still early, but any thoughts on what kind of buy this would be (raffle, fcfs, etc.)?
would love to get my hands on one of these !

well right now i'm still waiting for proto, after i get my hands on it i can make calculation about the process, detail, etc.
but what i had in mind is, 30 slot gb with 30 extras, and it would be FCFS with 10 slot for each color.

[El_Jackador]

ANSI only is heart breaking! But good look with the board!

[gadzkun]

sorryy , but hey its koala compatible case so its not too hard to find for additional plate.

Thanks!  I'll keep my eyes on the thread for updates
it's sad that i'd probably have a better shot at a raffle than actually being fast enough for fcfs, but no matter what you decide to do I'm going to try to buy one!
excited to see how the proto turns out

The Jane v2 plate file (which includes ISO, etc.) was open sourced I believe. I don’t have a link, unfortunately, but if you did you could get some of those cut.

and here i am, getting excited and jump like a kid waiting for proto too

yeps its compatible with jane v2 plate, maybe in discord to get the plate file?

[Puddsy]

Have the plate files been released? I can't find them anywhere.

here u go

[ReDsNoTDeAd]

Do you have pictures of the gummy worm mounting? (CAD or IRL is fine)

[Zacharius]

Looking super dope dude

Clean.  Excited to see proto :]

simple, love it!

IRL pic soon after proto done

Clean.  Excited to see proto :]

*HIT!* that notify and watch button

congrats

happy birthday

[Little4Real]

Does the thin H87C have Alps support?

[snurrebassen]

Into it! 

[gadzkun]

Does the thin H87C have Alps support?

from what hiney said all v1.8 PCB have ALPS support, will ask hiney for confirmation after he's come back from vacation.

[Jefff]

Very nice, price estimated anytime soon?

[Mcnos]

FCFS, Raffle, or unlim?

[gadzkun]

Very nice, price estimated anytime soon?

need to wait for proto first to calculate the price 

FCFS, Raffle, or unlim?

My plan is 30 unit 10 unit each color. FCFS with a little bit of luck, and i had some whitelist to minimize flipper

[ogp3]

Definitely keeping an eye on this 👀

[Peach Pirate]

Yes Please

[keyboardkrill]

Exciting plate options. Very nice. Excited for a chance at an end game alps build, but these new plate options have me  thinking otherwise.

[El_Jackador]

I really like the look of this board, really classy! Same no iso option 😔

[keyboardkrill]

Poor phrasing in my last post, I mean these new plates make me want to do mx build instead of alps. I am happy with layout.

[SenseiJia]

Nice! Interested!

[L8T]

Simple and clean, i like it! What material is the weight btw? Brass or SS?

[prangano]

I’m totally in, it checks all the boxes for me but I’ll probably be disappointed with such a low number of boards available. It seems a good platform to do alps and mx builds, and experiment with plate materials etc, since the plate and pcb seem to be common in the community.

[madam]

I definitely buy it.

By the way, can you tell us about the Discord server and your Discord?

[gadzkun]

Poor phrasing in my last post, I mean these new plates make me want to do mx build instead of alps. I am happy with layout.

i still searching the manu for plates, cause every plate have a different way to cut, ex. PC use waterjet, almost all metal will use laser and CO2 laser, some material use CNC Router.

and because i'm buying the material and search the cutting services myself, so every plate(exc. alu) will have MOQ and have different price every MOQ. will update the price later.

plate still prototyping thou, so i can't take a proper pic, but here's a sneak peek

well its a debut project so cant make too much, cause i want to make it fast, good, and hopefully without problem

Simple and clean, i like it! What material is the weight btw? Brass or SS?

Brass for sure, well the brass weight design is really really really good, im actually had an orgasm myself(ROFL) seeing at it, but i still dont know if its possible to make or not, so i save it later for IRL pic

I definitely buy it.

By the way, can you tell us about the Discord server and your Discord?

still dont have any discord server so i will update on GH frequently later on GB phase, maybe will make discord after nura v1 finished, and thanks man


oh yeah forgot, hopefully by the end of this month the prototype will finished, bottom case already finished, and the other still on progress

[zoo]

Looks like it’s really testing the tolerances for margins and screw holes. Seems a little too close to the edge for my taste, but I like how overall the design keeps things simple.

[Anthixious]

Love to see pics of the ano'd colors ASAP.

[002_GT]

  Korean boards are the best

[Coby]

Could the usb be placen on the left side for better aesthetics for custom paraccords 😁

[audax989]

I'm down.

[dabbaranks]

Definitely going to try to get in on this beaut!

[hottrout]

I would be very interested but no ISO ... sorry.

[treeleaf64]

Deal for me

[Really_Just_AE]

Beautiful board, I'm waiting eagerly to see a prototype!

[andyduong]

why there is no red color (((

[Really_Just_AE]

I’d also love to see a red anodization option, but it probably wouldn’t make sense to add one considering the size of the prospective GB

[L8T]

Any updates on this? I like this simple yet classic design so i hope this GB doesnt get scrapped.

[madam]

Any updates on this? I like this simple yet classic design so i hope this GB doesnt get scrapped.

I have exactly the same opinion.

[Really_Just_AE]

Yup, I feel the same way

[Komachi]

Gonna lurk here for a while

[taiminhle4920]

Are there any update on this board?

[self]

Bumping for updates

Proto news?

[dabeshu]

Pretty cool

[sony]

love a good low angle tkl.

[Kain]

This looks very interesting! def following.

[thebreadsaver]

Is this still running? There hasn't been any updates in a while...but one can hope i guess

[Dran]

I like it.

[seasalt11]

Excited to see this!

Edit: Didn't even see the date on this

[AstralYT]

I do see that this keyboard closely follows the classics, but wouldn't the through hole weights be better for acoustics?

[dantambok]

nice i like

[treeleaf64]

Hello sir I don't know any artisan so excuse me for not knowing about you
I am happy that you are making this keyboard. Thank you for your contribution 

It appears I have already commented on this post a year ago, which makes sense why I don't remember it.
I like simple designed keyboards. The weights, side profile, back, bezels: these come together to form an exquisite shell.

cute : )

Edit      Did the proto type  come In to your House?

[keyboardkrill]

I thought this project died last year. If I'm wrong, that would be a pleasant surprise.

[mcmcmc]

i buy

[Dyto69]

Looks very good and classy, I like the double mounting WKL only. Good luck with this, I will keep an eye out and if the pricing is good I may be in

[gavingoh]

I love this classic design, have this on my watchlist! Can't wait to see more from you!

Hope the pricing will be good! 

[Heritage.T.A]

I like the simplicity of the design and white gold FR4 plate
