Hey guys!

Another exciting update!

Show Image


As you can see, the revised prototypes are fully machined. Bead blasting and anodising (just for one, other will be cerakoted ;) ) is probably happening as we speak. We are getting quotes and protos for the brass plates too!

This is getting really close to GB stage now. I will make sure that all needed logistical work is done ASAP so that we could launch the GB when the prototypes arrive and are evaluated!

You just made my Tuesday.  :p

They are beautiful! Do you plan on selling an entire kit or will this GB just be for the case?

It will be for the case + plate. There are plenty of 60% pcbs out there, including one would make for unnecessary extra complexity and limit choice for the people building their boards :)

I think you'll need to desolder your switches from the PCB, move to the M0110 plate, and resolder.

Just want to confirm, the plate and case are optimized for the HHKB layout with a 7u spacebar, right?
I have no idea what is the size of the original M0110's spacebar.

heavyheaded is right, because standard 60% tray mount plates won't be compatible with the M0110 case you will have to desolder and rebuild the keyboard with M0110's plate. Any standard 60% PCB like Zeal60, XD60, DZ60, GH60, etc. will work so you could always just buy another PCB ;)

Yep exactly. While the physical dimensions of the case itself are almost an exact match to the original M0110 (with the exception of us lowering the case angle to be more comfortable to type on), the layout is a 7u spacebar MX HHKB style, just like Duck Viper or KBDFans Tina-C. Bottom row is like this:

1.5u blocker - 1u - 1.5u - 7u spacebar - 1.5u - 1u - 1.5u blocker

If you want to try and fit other layouts within the keyboard's frame, we will be open sourcing the plate design if you want to cut your own plate and hardwire or try some crazy other layout if your 60% PCB allows it.

That's good to hear, because I have this funny HHKB-with-split-spacebars-and-arrow-keys layout that I've been wanting to try building for a little while, using the DZ60 PCB and the Tina-C's plate. All I'm waiting for is a case I'm satisfied with. Cue this thread 🙂

Go for it :) Tina-C plate won't fit this case though, as the Modern M0110 will have a plate that is mounted around its perimeter to the top part of the case assembly instead of to the 6 poker style posts. So if you want to achieve that layout with this case and DZ60, you will need to cut your own custom plate--that can be tricky in steel but there are some folks like /u/jolimon who can cut you a plate from 3mm acrylic that will suit your needs and isn't crazy expensive for single custom plates.

Can you confirm that different 60% pcbs fit the board? Looking at the prototype, the hole for the USB seems very snug, and in my experience pcbs can have a few mm of left-right variance in where the USB port is mounted. I'm specifically thinking of the DZ60, since that's the PCB I want to use.

Is the beige powder coating happening? If not would it be possible to get raw aluminum so I can more easily get it powder coated myself?

Haven't yet tried USB-C cutouts but GH60 PCBs with mini USB connectors should work generally.

Hey folks, got in some color swatches from cerakote to test out different beige options. I snapped a couple pics comparing them to my original M0110 case to see what is most true to the original in addition to just what would look best with a wide array of keycap sets.

Inside top of case (hopefully not very yellowed from the years). Going from left to right we have: "light sand" H-142, "benelli sand" H-143, "brown sand" H-30372, "federal standard sabre sand" H-33446, and "desert sand" H-199.


Same deal with inside bottom of case.


Light sand (top) and benelli sand (bottom) on inside bottom of case


Light sand (top) and benelli sand (bottom) on bottom of the case


What do you think?

IMO benelli sand is a bit closer to the original, but edges on the darker side and may not work as well as light sand for matching modern keysets.

The benelli sand seems much closer but I definitely think the lighter light sand would look much nicer and give it more of a fresh out of the box look.

Was the original color of the plastic this beige when new? Are we matching the yellowing or the original color? Maybe I ignorantly thought the color was closer to say, an Apple Extended Keyboard II. Would it be possible to have an option that is closer to that more modern light grey color?

Benelli matches the original color the most. However, for future and keycap color compatibility I as well think light sand is the way to go.

And, the RedScarf one is at the original angle, which is absurd.

OK, I know I can't be unbiased about this topic but I just want to say what I think about it.

First of all the USB hub is a cool idea for sure! Just makes it more complicated and makes using standard PCBs a bit of a mess, still cool idea and gives it an extra vintage touch!

But than that angle ooh booyyy.... Seems like 14 degree-ish? Weird thing is they made it thinner to seemingly make it more ergonomic, but then why keep the high angle? Now it just looks weird since by making it thinner they also threw it out of proportion.

Also, tray mount and the huuuugee gaps/tollerances around the keys for that price, IDK.

Anyways, bit of a rant right here, obviously if you like it got and get it! I guess I'm just kinda proud we will deliver an (IMO) way nicer product for the same price hehe ;)

Just FYI, the original IC was actually launched for this 5 months ago by John:

https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/6ryyve/photos_introducing_the_modern0110_project/

However I don't want to go out there and say they copied us. So no pitchforks please, most likely just a coincidence. Even if, it's not like we (or RS for that matter) own the M0110 design :)

Quality meme nonetheless ;)

Yeah that's just a strange timing for RS, your IC is a cooperation with John right?

Not to be that guy but I believe there was a post by RS or someone else on a Chinese (?) website that dates fairly far back too (to like September afaik?). That said their timing is still very poor and there are obvious issues with their design; I will stand by yours for those and others. The only cool thing about the MX0110 is the USB-B, though I imagine anyone else that doesn't own like 10 USB-B cables for their DACs and audio interfaces like I do won't really be amused by it.

PS: obviously I don't think anyone copied anyone else here, was just stating - RS is a pretty reputable company and if they did copy the design still, I doubt it'll hardly impact anyone's numbers when this buy here happens.
