Damnit the images are scuffed
Alright some Post-IC Updates for now
We've decided to go with the original PCB, meaning the PCB with flex cuts around or in between the alphas have been scrapped.
In our R&D, we tried three different kinds of PCBs: top/bottom alpha flex cuts, middle pcb flex cut, no flex cut other than modifier keys
One of the other two PCBs, has flex cuts at the top of the QWERTY row and below the ZXCVB row.
This resulted in the PCB flexing more than it should in use.
It didn't feel like a keyboard, more akin to typing on a pillow.
As for the second PCB variant, it had the singular flex cut through the QWERTY and ASDF rows.
What this resulted in was a very very weird and almost lopsided feeling when using those rows.
Due to the flexible nature of the keyboard, it would look like they're scraping against one another in use.
The final PCB, has no flex cuts other than around the modifiers.
While significantly less flexy than its other two counterparts, this PCB felt the best while still having an appropriate amount of flex to have that comfortable plateless typing experience we were striving for.
This will be the one we'll be going for, though there might be a chance we're also scrapping the flex cuts at the modifiers,
because we can feel or hear no discernable difference with or without the cuts.
