Title: Femto65 - Intrest Check
Post by: CrispySenpai on Mon, 23 September 2024, 19:05:34

Femto65 by Zizzi

[attachimg=1]

Hi everyone, I bring to you a weeb 65% keyboard, inspired by Griffith from Berserk.

As of right now, only colors offered will be silver (same as proto) and red. Those will be color options unless there is a big demand for some other color.

PCB will be designed by Gondo, but it is designed around the off-the-shelf ZED65 PCB, also fits the Kohaku PCB.

This keyboard is leaf spring top mount
Materials; 6063 Aluminum, Brass weight
Top right blocker
18.5 mm "front height" (just the front of the board without cherry lip)
With the cherry lip, effective front height of 15.8mm
8 degree typing angle

Depending on interest, would potentially run either 20 or 50 boards in total, as it is my first time making more than a one off for myself.

After releases, this design will be open sourced (without the logo on the back)

Cost/Price of a board would be $400. Will include
- Case
- Alu plate
- PCB

Enjoy pictures below of model and real proto - note that there have been a few changes from the proto to the V2 (model), biggest changes are the logo and the back of the board wedge placement.

nice and clean aesthetic board!

two suggestions, the cherry lip on the model looks a bit too sharp, you could probably fillet that and round it out a little bit more. second not too sure how i feel about that awkward gap between the top and bottom case assembly.

GLWIC!

Nice! Looks good. Funnily enough, I just started the Berserk manga and I am hooked!
