Hello keyboard geeks, I'm Aziz from CLAP LAB. I have never imagined that one day I will be able to design my own keyboard and post on GH! Today I want to show you my 65% gasket mounted keyboard. As a 65 lover I got inspirations from keyboards such as: Rama m65, Iron165, Noah, Space65 and many others! Okay, enough of me talking, I want to show you some renders (please excuse my rendering skills :D)
Sep 1 Update:
I want to thank all of you for your time to write the feedbacks, they are so valuable to me! I made some changes according to them.
So here is the new version with the renders, hope it is better than the first version.
Sep 3 Update:
[attach=1]
[attach=2]
[attach=3]
[attach=4]
[attach=5]
[attach=6]
[attach=7]
[attach=8]
[attach=9]
[attach=10]
Technical Info:
1. 7 Degree angle
2. Gasket Mount
3. 6061 Aluminium anodized
4. PCB-QMK supported Hotswap and Solder
5. USB Type C
What has been done:
The prototypes are coming soon As you all have suggested, the prototypes are postponed for the final deisgn
The PCB has been designed and tested, prototypes coming soon The pcb is not expensive comparing to CNC a case so the new PCB is under designing.
What needs to be done:
Test the assembly
Test the PCB
DISCORD: https://discord.gg/7nsJJKV I'm new to Discord so if there is something wrong with it please tell me!
Here is the IC from, please feel free to fill it out!

This board makes me feel itchy
-

-
Can't wait to get to discord and tell the boys I got the clap
-

-

-
Filled out IC and left a long piece of feedback. Good luck with your first board!

damn, damn boi, DAMN BOI HE THICC BOI, THAT'S A THICC ASS BOI, DAMN

a few things to note with the plate (from the renders you've showed)
- spacebar stabilizer should be flipped
- consider alternative layouts (split backspace, iso, stepped caps)
some other misc stuff:
- consider adding a small space for your daughterboard cable to reduce strain
- there seems to be no fillet/chamfer on the blocker, might be pretty sharp. (correct me if I'm wrong)
- as others have said, that front edge is really tall, I'm worried it might not be comfortable to type on
- in the future, I'd reccomend getting more community feedback and revising before ordering prototypes as a new designer

Also voicing the front height looks extremely tall and uncomfortable. I’d say the front height of just the bottom piece seems more comfortable ergonomically.
Also maybe a WKL design? Just personal preference though
-
As others have said. I think you are going a little bit fast with the prototype, I'd consider waiting for more feedback before you order prototypes.
-
The tabs on the weight look very small. Larger tabs would make for a more enjoyable assembly process.
-
Any considerations for a split space bar?
-
Definitely going to need a wrist rest for this one :D Nice colors though!
-
Does this give you the CLAP? :p
-
saw this on ZF, looking good :D
-
very different than the first time I saw this a couple days ago, but this new design I really like :)
-
Love the redesign. Would love to see this with a brass or ss weight. Definitely interested in the new direction.
-
I like the location of the logo, but I dont really nice the back design.

Love the redesign, but not a huge fan of the back right now, and it really complicated to machine.

It looks much better! Some renders aren't showing up though.

Please consider adding renders with keycaps!

Really interesting. I hope you have option for both hotswap and soldered PCB.
Also you have discord?
-
What is the significance behind the 'No.1' blocker?

Because it is my first keyboard?

Will do~
-
Soooooo! Do you think November GB is possible? Or earlier? ;D
-
Digging the new update, good job!
Hope the front height isn't too tall though. Looks pretty thick
-
looks really nice now!
-
I like the revamped back design, but on the inside of the case, the writing "A 65% by Clap Studio" is in a bit of a weird font. Personally I would go for something a little less comic sans esque.
