[IC] hbcp - hineybush compact

[TheloniousDrunk]

Any word on the GB? Did you decide to wait until later so that it definitely won't interfere with your move?

yes

Smart man, thank you for the response. I'll be awaiting the GB with ripe anticipation!

Hello,

I plan to pick up one of these keyboards when the time comes but i'm not a huge fan of the plate (big cut outs on bottom row).

On that note, would it be possible to get the plate design? I'm considering to get in on the titanium plate buy... if I can work out the layout somehow.

Yea ima release the plate files. Not anytime soon tho, likely once the gb ships or something like that.

Will there be a possibility to buy one without a plate?

Here's my prototype board:

Let me know if you guys want any more photos etc. Very happy with how it came out!

So silver won't be a colour option?

[hineybush]

it will be eventually

i'm likely going to split the colors up. run maybe 30 max at once. the plan is to do two colors per run, like 15/15 or 10/20 or something.

[hineybush]

changes ima do for the final/next version

• some sort of isolation for the indicator LEDs as they bleed a lot rn (prob just adjust the case top a bit)
• remove the side hole mounts for the plate (top/bottom only instead) for more uniform flex
• skinnier side bezels due to no plate mounting on the sides
• will prob switch to cap screws for the case itself so you don't strip em as easily with cheap bits
• lower radius inner fillets bc rn they're too rounded compared to good (GMK) caps
• might try and make the weight bigger still, lol
• change inner weight engraving stuff

[hineybush]

very large thanks to big Nathan Kim for the time and effort into this build for Arslock, as well as the features on Youtube and his instagram.

I'm into this, especially the half plate that seems really interesting. 

[portbaron]

I'd get two if there's half plate.

The prototype looks and sounds so amazing 

[Rensuya]

Looks good!

I'm in favor of most of the changes except the side bezels as I think any smaller would make the board look to thin.

Thanks. Yeah that's not a 100% one, I'll need to see how it looks. I'm thinking I'll make them the same width as the bezels between the alpha and fn keys, so like a 1mm decrease.

Been waiting for a nice 1800cp to come out. Definitely excited for this one

[TheloniousDrunk]

Any word on when the GB might start hineybush?

For anyone who sees this, would anyone be interested in a southpaw compact 1800? I just realized I think it might be a perfect layout. The functional width of a 60% board with all the functionality of an 1800 compact

Nope. been working on other stuff, haven't spent a lot of time on this project lately lol. I'll get back into it once those are done.

Understandable, thanks for the communication. Can't wait for when the GB rolls around!

Gahh this is perfect. Sad I missed it

you didn't miss anything! I haven't even finished the improvements to the design lol

[TheloniousDrunk]

I was in a rush at work and swapped my quotes around lmao.

Fortunately I realized I haven't missed it yet, I've been pestering you enough about it to know that

Signed up for geekhack just to subscribe to this thread. Prototype looks amazing. Would be a buyer.

I love the 1800 layout with one exception. I need a 2u "0" key on the numpad. It's so natural to hit the 0 key with my thumb that the whole purpose of the numpad's design for entering numbers with speed becomes compromised without it. Does anyone else feel the same??

so a 2u instead of two 1u's? that's a plan for the layout.

Part of the charm of the 1800 is having that 1U 0 and the arrow cluster there.

Agreed, but I'd like to give the option of a 2u in that spot too. Esp for alps, since it's tough to find a good 1u for the numpad with correct legends.

[lay0ver]

nice.

Im having trouble visulizing how you would do this. Would you move the number pad further from the arrow cluster to have the space for a 2u zero key?  Or would the the 2u 0 take the place of the 1u 0 and . Keys?

[tentboy]

I know it is a long way in the future, but do you think there would be an option of a polycarb case? I think that would be my dream board and endgame

correct. 1x 2u instead of 2x 1u

[hineybush]

highly unlikely as polycarb tends to warp pretty badly during manufacturing even a 60-65%

[JPVann]

This looks perfect for me.  There are so few 1800 opportunities.

I feel the same. Still looking for a board with a 2u '0' key on the numpad without killing the '.' key.

[J3ff_Leopard]

This is going to be my first group buy ever  Thought I would never get to join one since the community highly favors 60% and TKL. IMO, you've designed a perfect board. Hope you run some sort of dark purple for a case color sooner rather than later. Going to be hard to resist until then.

[Xynerorias]

Still looking forward to this one. There's very few 1800 options out there and this one is fabulous. Can't wait, I hope you're not going to abandon the project!

[hineybush]

No abandoning, just delaying until I can actually do it lol

[Visionaire]

Was really close to quoting your post in the Shoko thread.

So uh, does this mean we might see an Alps PCB with this?  If that ends up being the case, I hope we can get one of each (Cherry/Alps) and an extra plate.
