[GB] Liberi | 65XT with Frog side
« on: Thu, 21 July 2022, 21:45:58 »



About


    Hi, I'm $W4GK!NG, and this is my first publicly project.
    I saw a Kmac Mini and I instantly fell in love, so I made this board. The namesake and color choices are some weeb stuff no one probably cares about.


Specs


    - Material: 6063 Aluminum with Brass Weight
    - Color: Anodized blue or gray with Clear Coated Sandblasted Weight
    - Plate: Sandblasted Polycarbonate with MX cutouts (Alps plate will be available later)
    - PCB: Designed by Sleepdealer, Solder only with Alps support, using a Unified Daughterboard
    - Typing angle: 6°
    - Dimension: 358mm x 112mm
    - Front Height: 22mm adjusted
    - Weight: 1.6KG unbuilt
    - Mounting: Top mount
    - Layouts: Refer to the picture below

   
   
   


Colors

    The colors are RAL 5000 and RAL 7011.

     Vendors
        - Ashkeebs (covers the NA area)
        - KEYGEM (covers EU and UK)
        - HexKeyboard (covers SEA and Asia in general)
        - Acid & Co (covers Indonesia)

    Price per keyboard is $545.00CA / €500.00 (incl. 19% VAT) / $589SG / 6,299,00Rp with 100MOQ

   Both the extra plate and PCB are $58.00CA / €55.00 (incl. 19% VAT) / $65SG / 749,00Rp
    The estimated shipping date is around Q2 2023 :thumb:


Prototype & Iteration


    Prototype Album
    Alexotos Prototyle Album
    (In the RAL 7011 color and with all the design updates)

   
More
This blue prototype was built in the most basic of all layouts.

   

    I typed on that for a month and I don't like how muted the spacebar was so I decided to add some acoustic cut on the spacebar area both on my prototype and the model.

   
   

    And I ended up infilling the front engraving with acrylic paint.

   

    For the GBrun, there are some changes since the prototype unit, the case wall size has been reduced and the wall that separated the xt column has been thickened a little. I also added a chamfer all around the bottom case and the seam, and also the plate height from plate to top case has been increased from 7.5mm to 7.8mm.

       

    Anyway here's a sound test of the first build of the prototype unit, without the spacebar cut yet.

   


Special Thanks

    Bababaul - Thank you for the feedback and all the info I probably would never have if it weren't for you
