[IC] Type K - Tented Ergo keyboard (10/08/2023 - GB STARTING ON AUGUST 20TH)

[lirtle]

Dream board. Hoping I can get one of these.

[Jsdfbn]

count me in on this one

[xriccix]

Dont vanish on us

[i luv chuletas]

I haven't checked on this for a while, but if the GB route is taken, would it be like the 7V in that it was open?

If so, absolutely let's collectively go that route.

Pretty please with a chuleta on top? <3

[productkun]

Would be amazing if it went like the 7v route

Unlimited Type K, man can hope 🙏

[zzyjayfree]

GB Let’s go

It's been a while gok, any updates?

[J3ff_Leopard]

Gok probably going through more prototypes. A-OK with me. Nothing wrong with taking your time to refine a design, especially one as unique as this. Will be worth the wait.

[twj3xu]

Just what I'm looking for right now. Hope I don't miss this one

Whatever he does, I just hope it's unlimited, cuz I want two of these bad boys.

[touch]

I know this has been mentioned before but still would like to see split left shift!

[andreiborisov]

It’s already one of the most beautiful boards in the hobby, imagine if it also sounds and feels great…

Love the look of this, as someone who has never been super into the Alice layout.

if there's ever a red, cool purple or Burgundy option, or maybe a PC option, then I'll probably be throwing down the cash for it.

Thanks for all the work

[godoglove]

Have you thought of making a case to go with it?

[thomen]

Count me in! Would you ever do a version with arrow keys?

[Tyson]

One of my favorite boards that is able to use 2x 3u bars on it. Can't wait for this to run! Hope I can get one!

[ninjacore]

Loving the look of this.  With the wrist rest, are there rubber bumpers on the "top" of it or some other feature in place to prevent it from rubbing against the board?

[dowomingo]

I'd wait longer than it took GMK Dracula r1 to ship for this board - hoping it's an unlimited group buy.

[godoglove]

I think a cool thing would be an extra y key, something that I think would not be that hard to add, yet like the extra b key is something that a lot of people would appreciate, like when typing the word many, I am part of the people that type "y" with my left hand. Not a gamechanger to me, I still like this board and want to buy it when it goes live, but if there are other versions in progress, then something that bump it up against other alice style keybs

There's no keycap set supports the extra Y as far as I'm aware of. Would be extremely difficult to find sets with two Ys.

Exactly. Instead of asking a feature like this (feature which makes extra issues not fixes), Type-K will make you learn to type properly.

What is the front height? Seems like the wristrest is a must on that keyboard.

[MisterKnife]

would there be an option to have the wristrest in a type of wood? as aluminum would suck the energy out of my wrists

it means that the user is a druid or very into astrology

but what i don't understand is how a metal keyboard is OK but a metal wrist rest is not

Being a good conductor of heat, he’s saying that resting his skin on an aluminum block of a wrist rest would sap away body heat and be uncomfortable. This plastic or wood is a better option in that respect.

[MisterKnife]

Jup. Metals conduct heat away. Wood or plastic is more insulated.

I have a couple metal hid devices and no matter the room temperature they are cold to the touch.

Also one of the reasons why glass tables suck

[rikercd]

Yeah I think an aluminum wrist rest in New England winters would be... very uncomfortable. PC is probably a better bet IMO.

[kidpid]

The original black wrist rest prototype was PC (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=107031.msg2996620#msg2996620). Was it mentioned anywhere what the material of the silver one was?

It's also PC. Surprisingly, it's holding up pretty well in terms of wear. It's definitely the way to go over frosted acrylic/polycarbonate.

Proto 5 has been ordered.

Nice! Hopefully 5th time’s a charm.

Woot, excited to see!

[gaiden]

Haven't been this excited about a keeb for awhile, please let us sign up an IC form or let us get on an official media outlet like Discord. This is amazing.

This is my only concern. Especially towards the middle of the board. Wonder if it can be used without a wrist rest..

[hottrout]

So excited for this board.  I bought the Mountain Ergo which was really nice but I can't help think this is the 'one'

Have you seen Lin Works’s EM8?

I did see a test of it but I did not know there were available to buy.  They look good and sound solid.

It was on Lin's discord I think, google form.

This would be so beautiful if GOK had a deeeeep wine red version of this board

After producing the Hatchet, I have to agree. At least give one other option in a different material is a must. I had to warn everybody how cold it was to type on (but many wanted it for that reason). It is very cold to type on an aluminum wrist rest.

I am all in if it is offered in wood or some form of polycarb. 50/50 on aluminum. 

Talking with Gok and actually reading the IC (like I should have done to start), it seems the wristrest is PC.

I'm very interested. How to stay updated on this? I don't wanna miss when it goes live

been following this project for a while. love the dedication hoping for unlimited GB 

[jhealos]

Very interested in this as well.

[santela]

Gok, have you decided whether we can have unlimited GB? Really hope I could get my hands on one.

[rndr]

Please have an unlimited GB. Give at least one week for us to get in.

[vi0till]

I am happy if this is unlimited for only one day.
