Title: May I present you a TKL keyboard?
Post by: Kaliet on Thu, 11 December 2014, 02:13:34
As per the requests of some people who wanted to see a TKL,
I share some photos of a Keyboard that I made a while ago.
I miss this one. :)

These posts should go in media. They're media, not discussion.

For future reference.

What did you use this keyboard for?

I have blacks and I use them for programming and gaming, but my hand can start to hurt after a long while of typing.

Hopefully I'm getting a Poker 2 with browns which should reduce the pain.

I use blacks as all purpose switches.

Actually, I used this for selling. Haha. I made this on order. :)
Normally, I use 50g - 55g linear black for my daily use.
And there is no other usage of keyboards. ;D

What case is that? Kinda looks like a gon

We all are living on the same planet and GON and I are in the same country, same city though we haven't met yet. :)

If I could do it without indecency I would raise 3 thumbs up for this one!

I prefer full-size due to the occasional use i have for the numberpad (it really is helpful for g-mod) and an excuse to fill more desk-space with pretty leds. Question: what parts did you use(pcb,case,etc.)?

My desk is pretty wide so I have no issues using a full layout. :)

I used Monster Mask's A87-EX PCB and I designed the aluminum housing and assembled myself. That is what I do. :)

@hellcatz

GON and Kaliet make similar keyboards but they are different in a few ways.

GON and Kaliet both make their own PCB. I know GON uses his NerD pcb, and I'm not sure which PCB Kaliet uses but I think he designed it himself.

GON uses polycarbonate for the middle layer, his PCB has pads for SMD leds to achieve the glowing effect. I've only seen Kaliet's keyboards with an anodized aluminum middle layer.

I think Kaliets 60% keyboard is smaller than GONs 60%, the TKL looks similar in size. The USB placement is also different.

I think the feet are the same too.


@Kaliet, welcome to geekhack! How do we place an order? Is there pricing information available?

Do you have a picture of the bottom of the keyboard? (the feet)

Edit: Also, please correct me if I am wrong about anything above.

Good analysis! And thank you for welcoming. :)
However, I don't make my own PCBs whereas GON does. :)
I only asked Monster Mask to design a PCB, that is, 22Mini-RGB. He designed it to my taste and that's it.
Mostly I use his PCBs and sometimes GON's, too.
He is far advanced thatn I am in everything. :)
And I use acrylic and PC midlayers as well as aluminum. ;)

I saw your wts post and was stunned at those customs, but was put off because of the 75% layout and when it was 60% it was in a switch that I didn't like. What I liked most was your freakin amazing prices!
p.s. will PM, mind is just exploding.
