How does the hollow case sound?
I like it......but how much does the...HOLO cost?Oh god, that's jus terrible, right? )
The weeb in me keeps reading the name differently than you intended.

Simple design, looks good!
I'm coming
Yep, I was just wondering this too. I would say quite different depending on the surface you have it on. I'd like to hear it on a wooden surface and then on a gaming mat. I figure those two surfaces would include the majority of users interested in the board.
damn this is some cool stuff!just thinking like if we are able have a full rectangular ring of rubber (black or clear in color) instead of some rubber bump-ons, which will eliminate the gap between the board and the table.either like this (Attachment Link) or this (Attachment Link) I am definitely getting one! And it will be even cooler if I can have a "SAN HOLO" engrave on the back side, lol one of my favorite DJs
Hm? wasn't there a IC for this already? What happened to that one?

LOL! First second I saw this interest check, I sent a pm asking if it was inspired by her. Let’s make a club? Haha!

I'll see what I can do there but it's hard to make the surrounded rubber feet happen though. Rubber feet will have to be customized and it might cost quite a lot.The original idea I had was to leave some gap at the bottom which allows this under glow effect from the bottom of the pcb.Quote from: InvidiousIgnoramus on Mon, 05 March 2018, 12:10:36Hm? wasn't there a IC for this already?

Maybe we could make some Holo-inspired keycaps . I'm thinking light brown alphas with white lettering based on her ears and tail. Maybe something inspired by her clothing for the mods......heck that could actually work. Sorry for going off topic though...
Watch the anime and read the manga [spice and wolf]. It's a much more adultlike and realistic romance story than most that gives me diabetes every time I read it Anyways, is there a price estimate? And a possiblity for an optional bottom (I like the aesthetic but I like weight too)?
I’d join a combo set for sure, lol. @Icy, any chance you could perhaps add an Acrylic or Polycarbonate diffuser to the bottom? Nothing massive, just to cover the bottom? I like the design, but having a fully open bottom makes me think I’ll type solder onto my deskmat eventually. And watch Spice and Wolf!
with no bottom, i'd be worried about the PCB getting damaged
interesting but not sure about the lack of bottom
looking forward to this master keyboard
Without a bottom, doesn't the sound resonate off the desk and make it much louder? Seems like a strange design choice.
Oh a nice try Very creative design, looking forward to the final design You must make a nice looking pcb.
Oh god, that's jus terrible, right? )

I think it would be a good idea to use a smaller logo or at least have some spacing above the logo. As you can see on the linked picture the upper edge is not straight because the engraving of the logo starts there, for me this is pretty ugly.
For anyone worried about the PCB being exposed, could just make a transparent acrylic / polycarbonate sheet layer that goes under the PCB and gets screwed on to the case with the same bolts as those connecting the switch plate/PCB (probably with some spacers inserted between the switch plate and the acrylic sheet). Can add some underglow LEDs to the PCB to illuminate it when in use.

interesting design.. I like its overall look .... unsure about how the lack of bottom would impact the sound, which is important to many..... less so worried about endangering the PCB, but that is also a concern I'd like an optional bottom....

Agree with this... I think the logo design is just fine, and suits the theme of the project -- but being able to see its edges like this from the 'seated' position is a but less desirable to me.If it were just a uniform cutout..... |____________| .....itd be *slightly* better..as is |___||___||__||_____| is kind of bleh to me.
I don't think you're going to see the cut edges from a normal seated position, because of the bevel on the rear edge.
I like the logo, it is bold and has attitude
HOLO-Deck that's good
Also any idea about iso support and pricing?
It's definitely a unique design I will be curious on how final prototype looks. to be honest I'm not the biggest fan of the large logo on the back but probably not a deal-breaker. Always nice to see something different thanks for thinking outside the box. Could be interesting
8/15:Second CNC sample completed. There are few places still need to be fixed and I will be placing another sample soon.
