Digging the design and the "buttcheek" weights
Aight, just send me an invoice now.Digging the design and the "buttcheek" weights
(Br)ass cheeks ;D
Shame about the branding

Can you tell whether the PCB will have hot swap sockets or not. The brass weights look too tame. I feel a copper weight option is also worth exploring.Since it is only 20 units you can pretty much rule out hotswap pcb. You can use sip sockets though, it will be pretty much the same thing.

no engraving on brass weight?

that depends on your wallet size

I'll be honest it doesn't sound that good :-X

Sometimes hollow boards can sound good, and other times they sound bad. This seems to be the latter. Is the interior parallel with the plate and pcb? If it's not, that could explain the sound.
What plate material are you currently using with that prototype, aluminum? I honestly don't think that sounds bad. Just an idea but, I'm curious if variances in the how "hollow" the bottom half of the case is from the inside could affect the quality of sound. Since the board has such a high angle, there is a lot more material on the bottom case to work with. If anything comes of it you could even go to try providing more of a cavity behind the alphas similar to the concept of a half-plate. Granted, there are a lot of other factors that play into sound quality such as switches, keycaps, plate, case material, etc.
FYI, I am only hearing sound out of the left channel on the video.

The plate is 1.5mm brass. I use a 'standard' 9mm distance from top of plate to bottom case. The bottom case only has a depth of 3mm. Are you saying that you think increasing this depth would improve the sound? My thinking is that that would make it sound hollower, but I don't know how sound works at all so you might be right.
Also I'll fix the video soon, I didn't catch that the audio was only on the left channel >.>
this board sounds more hollow than my social life:c
As a cheery on top you just had to use SA caps :))I love SA!!
Hi all!I think you should sell the design to a vendor, I think this tkl design could become as iconic as something like the gh60
I apologize for the lack of updates.
Unfortunately I'm going to have to indefinitely put this project on hold as there are other projects I'm working on right now that I want to focus on. I will definitely come back to this project but right now I'm not sure when.
If anyone has any questions please don't hesitate to send me a message!
Thanks for understanding!

what are those keycaps?

Those are SA Biso.
big, burly, and heavy, and high is good, but why so butt-ugly?
seems like angle is not adjustable. may be abit worried if it doesn't feel comfy. just my 2 cents!
