Hello,

I've been wanting to make a keyboard. The time has come! I made some sketches and showed Zambumon. He made 3D files. Salvun's CNC machine goes brrr. Wilba makes PCB. Voilà! Keyboard.

The main inspiration comes from keyboards with handles, I love them, so this one has some. I also wanted a big weight because I like heavy keyboards, what can I say. Also, the sides are seamless, which is very nice IMO. I hope you like the design as well! Below is a summary of details, should have everything you would want to know about the project.

- Material: Aluminium case, Stainless Steel weight, Brass or Aluminium plate
- Colors: Black and Silver
- Layout: 65% with both ANSI and ISO variants available

- Depth: 110.80mm
- Height: 19.57mm (front), 35.00mm (back)

- Plate mounting style: 6-point top mount leaf spring
- Interface: USB-C
- Electronics: WT65-G PCB designed by wilba.tech, QMK compatible and fully programmable with VIA configurator
- Availability: 200 units
- Price: 529€ (479€ for non-EU) with Brass plate, 519€ (469€ for non-EU) with Aluminium plate, extra PCB's are 59€ each while additional plates are 49€ for Brass and 39€ for Aluminium

With all due respect, Oblotzky Industries still has a modest budget and we couldn't acquire a time machine to pull off that ****.

Do you prefer the right or left kidney?

Hawksmoor · « **Reply #29 on:** Thu, 10 September 2020, 09:35:02 »

Could i ask for a non-metallic plate material be considered? Preferably Poly or CF.
Alternatively, will plate files be released?

Due to the leaf spring design, the plate shall only be made in aluminum, brass, stainless steel, copper, or as you point out carbon fibre. Materials such as POM, PLA, or polycarbonate should be avoided.

That being said, given the layout options (ISO and ANSI plates) and the available materials and finishes (brass, black anodized aluminium, and silver anodized aluminium), we are already talking of at least 6 plate options and if I were in Oblotzky's position, I would rather keep things as they are right now for this pre-order.

我需要这个键盘, 能卖给我一个吗

(I need this keyboard, sell me one please)

paperassgasket · « **Reply #32 on:** Thu, 10 September 2020, 11:11:55 »

Are metal plates going to be the only mounting option?
You could get a crazy amount of flex out of a carbon fiber leaf spring.

steezkeez · « **Reply #33 on:** Thu, 10 September 2020, 12:33:29 »

the oblotzky logo looks clean although i would prefer it to be slightly smaller. right now (imo) i think it takes up too much surface area on the weight.

Ramen Champ · « **Reply #34 on:** Fri, 11 September 2020, 02:29:57 »

Any plans on making a WKL version? This is quite beautiful btw

xc0mr4de · « **Reply #35 on:** Fri, 11 September 2020, 02:31:52 »

Are you trolling or you don't read the thread at all? Like two messages above yours Zambumon answers this exact question from another user that asked it previously.

Good luck, to this all-star team. Looking forward to this one. Refresh the discord link? Cheers, G

Is this a subtle tease for Serika R2 ? :)
