Title: KO NO DIO DA! Keyboard from China
Post by: MIC_David on Thu, 11 February 2021, 04:26:59
This post has asked the designer's premission. The group buy of DIO V2 has ended in China, the designer Hooper ask me to create a post in geekhack for interest check. So here we go.

Hello guys I'm Hooper from China. By the end of last year, I had finished group buy of DIO V1 and DIO V2 in China. Since there are some guys ask me for DIO V2 in INS, I create this post in geekhack for interest check. (In China we use zFrontier for group buy.)
The name of the keyboard is from animation JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.

color: Yellow, white, black, grey, red, dark blue,purple, you can choose color of each module as you like (if your want other color you can give me your opinion)
structure: gasket mount
interface: type C
date line position: left or middle, you can spin the interface module to switch the date line position.
PCB: we have hot swap pcb and weld pcb
light bar module: This module is magnetic fixation means you can easily open it. Customer design is possible, but you need DIY, we will give you detail drawing so you can cut the sheetmetal of light bar yourself.(default characters are dio v2)
positioning plate: It is made of aluminium.(if your want other material you can give me your opinion)
price: The price will below 400$

Quite a nice design.  You do not have the split left shift for ISO.

I like the look very much. Looking forward to options of brass, FR4 or POM for plate material.

Hmmm, quite like it, I'm assuming you could piece together a yellow, red, white combo?

What's the inspiration for the name? The band? The anime character named after the band? Something more.. sophisticated, that my unsophisticated self is unaware of? Just curious, i always did like the name.
Nice board too. I'm not big on the holographic letters on the front of the badge in the 1st pics though.

Nevermind, i googled "KO NO DIO DA!", it's the anime character. Which is cooler then the band. (Sorry big hair fans, "holy diver" is their only good song.)

Will the PCB come with VIA/QMK compatibility?

an exploded image showing how the mounting works would be nice, but otherwise this looks quite nice, especially at the estimated price point. as far as plate materials go, i think fr4 and a plastic option (polypropylene, polycarbonate, pom) would be nice in addition to aluminum if possible.

Digging the modularity of the design, but definitely would love an answer on whether the PCB supports QMK or not.

Those back badges and accent look incredibly similar to matrix accents. That being said the weight is interesting.

We actually support QMK in group buy of DIO V2 R2 in China.
And in the furture, we also want the pcb will come with VIA compatibility.
We are developing it(VIA)

We have FR4 now.
Other options are being developing, maybe the next one will be brass.

Looks really nice. I'd love to see a solid blocker option instead of LED logo.

what's the purpose of the angling-in of the weight?

Speaking of Dio Sama, e yellow is the go-to for me. This looks sick.
