DESIGNThis whole thing started with me wanting a Tadpole mounted 60% that didn’t have a toddler’s writing on the back. (ily geon but man)
From one thing to another, the design then developed into largely what you see now, challenging the idea that a keyboard should just be a rectangle.
MountingThe mounting for Eden takes a simpler approach to tadpoles than what the Frog and Frog Mini already executes excellently.
Instead, it uses more typical top mount points with spacebar cuts for spacebar
Eden is also compatible with the H60 footprint for the gummyworm enjoyers.
With the change to PCB mount, I've opted for a more standard 4-4 mounting point arrangement, reminiscent of the legendary idb60.
Plates will be offered along-side the units for people who prefer it.
Similarly to the Ryu, the PCB mounting now allows for further threading after the hole for the tadpole to allow for a standard top mount.
TOPRE VARIANTKLC has kindly offered their EC components for Eden!
However, due to the Topre assembly being taller than MX, PCB mounting is not viable without increasing front height to an unviable amount.
Additionally, the topre housings take up too much space on the PCB for a plateless kit similar to the ones found on Geon's F1s and F2-84.
Therefore, the board will have a dedicated EC variant instead with its own mounting points and internal dimensions, prototyping will be done concurrently, but I sadly can't promise this will run concurrently with the MX version.
Shoutout to Langerhans and Densus for helping out with all my questions about the cup rubber!
COLOURWAYSo far, I’ve settled on 4 colourways:
Pishon (Raw) (This means everything has absolutely 0 coating.)
Gihon (Silver)
Peri (Plum)
Gan (Green)The previous colour options mentioned are no longer the only colourways being offered.
I cannot confirm nor deny a colourway that will be offered.
