Title: [IC] Mojo60 "Ember" Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard (GB start on Drop.com only $120)

When aluminum Cerakote Mojo60 case finished, I still feel unsatisfied, so I discuss with Layne and try to make some different things. Now the Polycarbonate smokey clear case is coming out :p

Is the case going to be injection molded? Guessing from the visible internal ribbing...

A very interesting look, and I'm all for Bluetooth builds.
Does this support a 60% layout with arrow keys?

>MG profile double-shot ABS keycaps
Can I buy this without the keycaps?

Only standard 60% layout, but you can replace the PCB with GH60 pcbs, and you can't buy it without keycaps

Just out of interest... how many of these are you planning to sell? I mean it is beautiful, but what is the breakeven point after paying for the injection moulding tooling?

about $120, after this Ember editon, we will make some basic colours case with basic RGB keycaps, so the price will be lower.

I am not OP,
but let me summarise what I have learnt so far:
Title: Re: [IC] Mojo60 "Ember" Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard
Post by: muni_chang on Fri, 18 October 2019, 01:10:29
I am not OP,
but let me summarise what I have learnt so far:
  • This keyboard is shipped as a complete build, which means there is no soldering needed for buyers.
  • There are 2 colour options:
    • Smoke black polycarbonate case + MG Ember Dusk keycaps
    • PVD coated(or some other plating?) polycarbonate case + MG Ember Dawn keycaps
  • Bluetooth Wireless + Wired Mode PCB, with QMK firmware
  • 60% ANSI layout (same as Poker 3)
  • Steel plate
  • Case and injection moulded, and compatible with GH60 PCB
  • USB-C breakout board at the right, to ensure the port is accessible even with the thick forehead
  • On/off or wired/wireless toggle switch(?)
  • GB around mid Nov
Yes, pretty much

That’s some competitive pricing for everything except the switches

You can find anodizing Mojo60 on www.melgeek.com
I really like the look of this, but I have one question. Have you provided the PCB to testers to test BT on a wife range of systems? BT ca66 and BT G60 both seems to be unreliable.

Yes, everything has build
The specs on drop.com mentions "kailh hotswap sockets" so are the switches solder in or not? Also is the board compatible with the aluminum cases you are selling on your website? If yes would the metal case interfere with by or not?
