I designed the Penguin 1.0 with one thing in mind, to create a nice looking top mount 8k keyboard with an internal weight and a unique colorway.
SPECIFICATIONS
Alu Top, Alu Bottom, Brass Weight
Second proto was 2.3 kg built, third proto is going to have a redesigned internal weight.
8k F12 TKL
Top Mount
5.5 degree angle
16 mm front height
22.9 mm EKH
Compatible with FUYU PCB and Penguin PCB
PENGUIN PCB
For the Penguin keyboard, I commissioned a custom pcb. This pcb is a fork of the FUYU without the rgb but with indicator led support and 10u space bar support. It also has the penguin on it.

SALE DETAILS
This board in group buy will be offered in WKL, and possible 7u HHKB depending on how it looks. You will be free to pick colors for top and bottom case, offering DDS-A, Silver, and a third color to be decided on before the group buy.
Initially I was shooting for 50 moq, however due to the switch to dds as manu I may need to shoot for something higher to make my target price of $350. Due to this fact, I will need to find vendors since I don't think I can properly run a larger scale group buy by myself. This may lead to a slightly higher purchase price, however it will give buyers a bit more security.
I will be running a private GB for a WK Penguin with a 10 unit cap for feedback, join the server for more information.

Pretty soon I'm going to reach out to streamers to do some build, so expect some more content on the board in the relatively near future.
Thanks for reading, hopefully you find this project interesting! :thumb:
