Title: [IC] frost TKL | Top Mount, and Some Snowflakes
Post by: keypport on Sat, 22 July 2023, 08:09:16

TKL, Top Mount, and Some Snowflakes

frost is a keyboard inspired by Emilia of Re:Zero.
This is a classic top mount, but PORON washers are used instead of foam.

Why use PORON washers?

1. The PORON washers are used to reduce the vibration of the plate-pcb
2. Unlike the usual PORON foam, there is no sound absorption effect

I love Emilia. I hope this can be successful.

Personally though I am not a fan of the curve in the back and the placement of the hairpin in the top right... (I prefer engravings, badges... to be placed on F13 or between arrows and nav cluster.)

However, I support these out-of-the-ordinary design choices. GLWIC  :thumb:

Edit: Hope ano can be improved from what I seen on pictures and what alexotos said in his review

I just filled in the form. Watched the videos from alexotos & keybored.

Just wondering what is the different between Alu 6061 and 6063 (sound, anodizing, durable,...)?

Thanks for sharing your project. Quick question/suggestion from my side:
- If I understood correctly, I believe you are planning to use the USB unified daughterboard. It would be great if you could include that information in the specs.
- Are the poron washers required when using the board? I.e. will we have the PCB touching the bottom part of the case if not using them?

Thanks for all the information and GLWIC!  :thumb:

Although there is a physical difference between 6061 and 6063, the difference is not dynamic in terms of keyboard material.
However, the 5052 of the plate is characterized by a softer surface than the 6061.

1. Yes, it uses the unified dauterboard.

2. The poron washer is optional.
You don't have to use it if you don't want to.

The reason for providing a poron washer is to reduce vibration effects only, instead of using a form.
And even if you use it, the effect is small.

I'm interested in. When will it go live? Or you'll do a raffle?
