Title: QAZ30 (1st KB build)
Post by: qazeqaz on Thu, 05 May 2016, 00:44:43

So I was playing around with a bunch of different KBs and I really liked the Planck KB and its unique layout. So I bought 2, and I sawed one up and this is what I came up with.

I call it the QAZ30 and this is my prototype. I do not plan on making these obviously because it is and was a neat project for me.

Got the plates made from Big Blue Saw  the fastest shipping I have ever seen!!!

Currently making a finalized QAZ30 with KingRama and MachineIndustries that will weigh a ton if I get my way.

They just keep getting smaller!
I wonder how long until we get the GH-01 keyboard using 60 macro layers.

Use a 1 key KB and type using Morse code ;)

Nice, did you decide what the black keys and symbols do ?

Yes they are mapped out already. This is what I have so far. This is still a WIP though.

Like I said before QAZ, has been awesome working with you and I can't wait to make your windowed QAZ30 a reality.

I will be posting renders sometime this week of the proposed design for the QAZ30. It's gonna be a pretty awesome board complete with a milled polycarbonate window to show off the PCB from underneath :D
