Title: [IC] Answer65 - A 65% kit inspired by Dolphin
Post by: doncccc on Sun, 08 January 2023, 01:10:53
Answer65

Hi Everyone, I'm Uchen. This is the first kit I ever made.

Most of the kits I have come into contact with use straight lines, few use curves or curved surfaces. I came into contact with the Dolphin60 by chance, which inspired me to create something with curves. But the sense of power from the Dolphin60's curves is less prefer for my personal preference. I'd like to create a kit with soft curves. Even for the chamfered edges, I have replaced all of them with rounded edge. This will increase the difficult of CNC dramatrically but for my first kit I do like to take advantage of the high precision of CNC process instead of using simple lines.

A little bit more for the name. I have pretty bad tasty on the naming. I wish you can find your final answer for the keeb hobby on this keyboard hence the name: Answer. I'm welcome for other names.

TL;DR
This is a 65% gasket+top mounted kit with all curved edges.

Looks nice.
Would prefer though centered usb port if possible.
Also different color combos between the pieces would look nice imo.
Will keep an eye on updates.
Good luck with IC :)

This would be nutty if:
- no flex cuts (or at least a central/middle flex cut only)
- make it a 65 WKL layout, or at least add the option to (this would probably blow away the competition if you could possibly make that happen; imagine, a high-end layout for like half the price of from other offerings.)
