Title: [IC] bob.x-ray.1xx Dual mode102
Post by: xiaoxuesheng on Wed, 16 March 2022, 10:02:21
Everyone is Bob, and this time I bring you a keyboard that allows you to "graduate" directly, an X-ray dual-mode (Bluetooth wireless, wired) 102-key full-size keyboard.

This time, bob studio brings you a product that is basically a blank in the market, because I am also a heavy user of the digital area in my daily life, so the common 80 arrangement or 60 arrangement is also a problem for my personal use. Many troubles, this time we bring you x-ray to meet the use of digital area, adding the function of wireless bluetooth. Moreover, the host computer can be used to edit the keys. I think these functions have been able to meet the requirements of most people.

Different from the production philosophy of many studios in the past, we will not blindly pile materials on the X-ray, making the keyboard very heavy. Our design philosophy is to be as light as possible. Make it not a burden on you.

(https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51942080244_fa78561e9f_b.jpg)

For product positioning, we carefully analyzed the needs of everyone in the market. Some people are serious rgb lovers, some people just like a simple and elegant light, so we have made some small designs to meet the different needs of different groups of people.

(https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51942080359_f6e3e37b98_b.jpg)

GB's products will come with two four-pointed star nameplates (aluminum alloy material is opaque, pc material is transparent). If you need a strong rgb effect, you can block the four-pointed star area with an opaque nameplate. Make the nameplate next to it more dazzling.

(https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51942068254_bcee09fb58_b.jpg)

If you need something more elegant, you can design a solid nameplate, such as carbon fiber material, or aluminum alloy lettering, or a wooden nameplate. Let only the four-pointed star shine.

(https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51941831023_5bbc063339_b.jpg)

In terms of structure, we have redefined a new structure this time. The two structures give full play to their characteristics, allowing you to enjoy two different structural feel with one keyboard, and our pcb is also a two-stage design. 80% area gasket, digital area top. Let you have a new improvement in both the variety of gameplay and the feel of the hand. Get full satisfaction.

When it comes to Bluetooth, you may think of the problem of signal and power consumption. This time we use a dual battery interface design, and the battery will use a common mobile phone battery as a carrier. We also designed a battery compartment, which can make the battery more secure and neat at the bottom of the keyboard. If you feel that a 3200mAh battery is not enough , you can add one piece, so theoretically the battery capacity is doubled. Of course, if you use rgb for a long time, it will consume more power, but if you only use a single lamp, the overall Bluetooth will often exceed 2 months.

(https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51942174099_03202d8d8b_k.jpg)

In terms of nameplates, we will still open the nameplate size file for everyone to design by themselves. We will also launch some official designs, and an expansion pack may be formed later for everyone to purchase. Below are some of our nameplate designs. The basic matching is some themed keycaps. There are many ways to play.

If there are dealers who are willing to cooperate, you can contact us, we also have a lot of peripheral designs.

I hope you can like our design, we still have a lot of interesting designs, please pay attention to our instagram, we will continue to update. thanks.

Recent Progress: Sample production has startedß

Specific GB time: To be determined, we will update this post one after another based on everyone's feedback, knowing that it attracts more attention


There will be several color releases
black
silver
Ash
dark blue
dark green

What price would it be
To be determined, we will set a very low price according to the number of people. To be honest, we do not want to make money, we just want more friends to pay attention to us.

Will there be a quantity limit?
We only want to make 50 sets initially, because we are not sure about the exact number.

Will there be a spot sale?
This question is uncertain, because we can't estimate the sales volume, and we may prepare some stock in advance.

Is it possible to customize the keys
Of course, qmk, via changes the key position.

Whether the nameplate can be customized
In the later stage, we will release the nameplate file to support our own design, but you may need to find a factory to place an order. We will also design some nameplates, which will appear in the form of expansion packs later.

What is the power consumption of bluetooth?
We left two battery ports for the motherboard, and specially designed the battery compartment, which can hold the Samsung note3 3200mAh battery. This battery is common and readily available. Theoretically, in the case of a single lamp, it can be used for at least 1 month without charging. Of course you can also expand to 2 batteries.

Our manufacturer is a very strong manufacturer, and everything will be very fast. To be honest, it has only been 20 days since the 102 prototype plan, and we have already started sample production. You can see the real thing in about 10 days. Everyone in our studio is very enthusiastic, and the delivery time will be very fast if gb is turned on. Please follow us. We will make more good things and we are very confident.

What are the layouts supported by the PCB? Will this be WKL only, or is WK an option? I see a render without the 4 pointed star, is that piece optional, or is that a rendering mistake?

Good concept, but in this layout you could have added a F13 key. Leave the existing top right key as F14. Excited to see a unique design that focuses on ease of use and full keyboard layout. Do offer WK as option, specifically useful for Windows based devs.

Yes, I am a heavy user of the digital area, but the 80% arrangement makes my work efficiency a lot lower, and I know this is the pain point of most people. What's more, it is a wireless Bluetooth design, which can make your desktop more tidy. So I feel like this might be the "ultimate" keyboard for a lot of people. :D :D :D

There should be a spot for sale. In fact, gb is also very reliable. First of all, we are old players. I have been doing bobkeycap. So far, the credibility is still guaranteed. Secondly, we have a website (https://www.bobkeyboard.com/) , I think there should be some stock on the website. And we will release the samples first, we will officially open the gb after all the tests are completed, and you will not have any concerns. Please trust our professionalism, haha, thank you for your support.

We tried to reduce the weight as much as possible without destroying the aesthetics, so as to make the keyboard lighter and not too bulky.

It is very understandable that we will also launch a very practical 60% in the later stage, but in fact, the role of 100 cannot be replaced by other arrangements. Most people are still accustomed to the use of the Num area, which can greatly improve work efficiency. And it's wireless, which can make your desktop even more clutter-free.
thank you for your support.

Yes, we have adopted the dual structure of gasket and top. 80% of the area is the gasket structure, and the small keyboard area is the top. In this way, you can experience two types of touches on one keyboard.

Thanks for the reply, and we made the full size circuit board in two parts, bridged with a ribbon cable in the middle. While maintaining the two feel, it also increases its playability. ;D
