Title: [IC] Meridian
Post by: holtenc on Thu, 06 August 2020, 22:43:44

Meridian
Ergonomic 60% Keyboard

Tradition and Revolution
A seamless design combined with sharp angles constructs a centerpiece fit for your modern desk.
The three LED indicators and identical alphanumeric bend angles carry on the legacy from the Prime_E.

Trustworthy Typing Experience
An aluminum top-mounted plate offers typing comfort and a middle-ground rigidity which pairs well with various switch types.
The internal brass weight adds enough heft to keep the board stable during heavy use.


(https://i.imgur.com/iFQSm9H.jpg)


The Ergonomic Factor
Based on the Prime_E, the alphas bend in at a soft 8 degree angle rather than the aggressive 12 degree bend of most Alice-esque boards.
The layout is built around common keycap sizes for maximized compatibility with existing keysets.

Indicators: RGB LED indicators, in-switch caps lock LED

I absolutely adore this. I always wondered why Alice had these huge gaps on the bottom row. Adding the keys there (and keeping them all 1.25, so that one could keep a kit's 1.5 bottom row for another board, potentially) seems like a no-brainer. Awesome!

I was worried that the spacebar would be too far to the left... Then I ran a test on my own board and it seems I hit the spacebar between V and B anyway. So I guess this is just perfect.

Just one layout question: could you add split left Shift support?

Just wondering would we be able to switch the position of the right shift and FN? Think that bottom row maybe become arrows key and the FN key can be up key. Just curious if that even possible.

The layout is pretty much set. Since this won't be a group buy, the ultimate goal with this IC is to attempt to get an idea of how many kits to have made. I've created a very simple form that I invite anyone that is truely interested in this keyboard to fill out.

Meridian IC Form (https://forms.gle/wUN91FSHyTGC1WzW6)

that link has also been added to the top of the thread.

I see that this is going to be an in-stock item, which raises a few questions. How much supply are you looking at for a single drop, or is there a different system for making it available? I assume that the sale will be FCFS style, which means it would be less accessible for some folks, so I am concerned. Anyways, I like the clean aesthetic of the board, plus it is a ergo board, so regardless of the sales method I am interested.

While  it is true that making it pillars would be easier and thus cheaper to machine, but then it would beat the main idea/philosophy of this keyboard, which is angled ergo layout keyboard, no?

Approximately 200 for the first round and around 500 for the second. Pricing hasn't been finalized but expect $350-375.

Tentative ETA for the first batch is January. Second batch is maybe March/April.

Is there a discord server for updates

Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk

ai03 discord server has a channel with some updates.
but the important info usually gets posted here as well.

There's also a Meridian channel in PrimeKB's discord

Does this mean that this won't be a limited run? Sorry if it's clearly stated somewhere and I missed it. I'm pretty new to the keyboard community and I'm also pretty interested in an Alice layout.

I feel like if you do split right shift and make the right key function, then you could map the right shift to up arrow and the three keys below to the left, down, and right arrows on the first layer and you basically have arrows

Sorry I should have updated yesterday or the day before. The sale goes live tomorrow: Saturday January 23rd @ 11:00AM CST. Extras to follow @ 11:10 AM. The kits and extras are intended to be purchased separately. When buying extras ONLY the extras are allowed in the cart and it's free shipping worldwide. The point of this is to reduce (eliminate? /pray) 200 shipping refund requests when everyone inevitably buys them separate anyway.

F*** completely forgot that the sale happened yesterday.

Well here's to hoping that the future rounds actually happen...

Bugger, so many boards dropping the past few days.  I did not check this yesterday.  I guess I will also have to wait for R2.

from Discord chat I read that R2 will happen in March? Holten can probably give a better answer on that.

Apparently the shipping that they use to get r2 to PrimeKB is slow and prone to delays. So it might be April. But it’s happening.

That’s from Holtenc on Discord.

Wow, this is so beautiful! I would definitely buy one, if I can!
Is it likely that there will be a third round, if the second batch is sold out pretty quickly?
