Logo will be repositioned
Hello peeps, it has been more than a year since Jane CE. Many things happened during this period of time. ivan went missing, juahenza rised as the pride of Asia, Trump became POTUS, still no re-run of digilog (maybe I should try that someday). All these aside, I hope you guys are well.
About TGR 65% aka 910
65% is probably the best layout, be it for Overwatcher or casual type. There was a period of time when I used only the HHKB. LZ-SQ is the one that pulled me back from the dark side. TGR-910 is designed to provide the best typing feeling in a compact layout, while maintaining a effective number of keys. The design (?) is highly influenced from the older Korean customs.
Design
Unlike latest trends in keyboard hobby, there is nothing fancy or loud in the TGR design. The classy design concept is continued from the Jane. I had thought about adopting the "top casing over the bottom of the case" feature which can easily resolve the issue about top-bottom gap, sharp edges, and uneven anodizing issue; but that seemed to make the board look less elegant. In my opinion, the old way is the best way.

Supported layouts:

Material
Alcoa Mic 6 or Kobelco 5052
Reason behind the new material is consistency in quality of the aluminium and to avoid impurities.
In order to minimize the gap between the top and bottom parts, the edges have to be sharp. Strong sandblasting will introduce a small radius to the edges and make the gap obvious. I will be using a milder sandblasting with chemical etching technique to minimise the case gap. This technique requires extra effort for perfect machining/handling and prevention of oxidation during pre-anodising process etc.
The finishing that I am trying to achieve for the TGR-910 will be a lot like Lynn's older boards (ie Dolphin, Whale, and EM7). The quality of the finishing depends a lot of the quality of the raw material, this new material will be the best for the kind of finishing that satisfy my strict requirement.
PCB
I have gotten the permission from Winkeyless' Hojin to design my own PCB with their firmware and GUI. With the help of Leeku and Quadcube, a PCB was specially designed for 910.
Color
- Black, silver and grey
- Pink or Cyan (?)
Price
300$ to 350$

- There's a small piece of diffuser underneath the logo. Had it tested, I am still not blind.
(http://i.imgur.com/PAh1tWXl.jpg)
- Will use a less thick diffuser (1.5mm perhaps)

- The board looks so much more classy without the side diffuser

Also, I'd assume you could still light up the logo without case diffuser?
Since I also prefer that cleaner look but like the logo.

Post by: effectiveduck on Fri, 11 November 2016, 22:18:43
For me the top right corner block kinda ruins the design, probably enough for me to skip this so the option to remove it would be very welcomed. I love the bottom row block though, it can accomodate a few other cool layouts like 1.25 1.25 1.25 6.25 1.25 1.25 and 1.5 1 1.5 6 1.5 1.5, if the plate fits them. TGR logo placement seems a bit off, maybe its too low, not exactly sure.

I would also definitely not switch the TGR logo with the 910, it's much more elegant this way with simple numbers that have the awesome diffused lighting. Also a thinner side diffuser would be most welcome as an option to add (are you able to simply remove and add the diffuser easily) and I would surely pick one up as well.
If the color shown in the pictures is in fact the pink color, then I choose that one, it goes so well with the Skeletor set and I happen to have one laying around. The consensus seems to be that the cyan color is more favorable option. I love the color in the pictures but even better would be to have the option to choose between the colors. Why not both?

Would really be into an option with no diffuser.. I agree. This board screams premium and a RGB defuser just takes away and gives it that trendy aesthetic.
I would also like to see a way to put the 910 in there without the lighting. Think the placement might be a bit strange.. Etched would just as nice like the TGR logo on all the other stuff.

The color in the pictures is violet. The pink is a different color than what is shown.

Yeee thank you. You are right the "910" could still light up without the side diffuser.I would like this more if the TGR and 910 swapped places I think.

Is it a pink case?It was a violet/purple color case. I agree the black purple combination does go really well with the skeletor. :thumb:
It goes really well the with GMK Skeletor's purple.
what's the story behind the name 910?Long story bro. Definitely not some random girl I met at the hipster cafe.
I'm a big fan of the diffuser and both blockers, though I would be fine with or without the top right one. Blocker between arrows and modifiers is a favorite for me, helps to find the arrows that much easier.Yes, there will be options to purchase additional parts along with the board. Extra pcb/plate is for sure. Maybe lubes and stabs too. Weeee
Will there be options to purchase additional pieces to either swap plate/pcb or use a diffuser/not?
Will there be a limited number made?Yeah I am will working on the final quantity to be produce. Most likely around 22 or 24 units for the GB. Then another 10 units for friends. Hmmm
I love everything about the board, it's so beautiful. I wouldn't change a thing, the blockers and the 910 logo really make the board stand out comparing it to every other boring 65% layout.The one if the photo is actually purple/violet. There's an MOQ of these unique colors. I hope with Tris running together, I will be able to offer both, or even violet.

How is the predicted timeline of this? I don't need anything too exact right now, just the month in which orders will open. I'm trying to plan my spendings a bit.Everything for the 910 is ready. I am waiting for the Tris prototype now, I am planning run both of them together.
Should be this or next week.
Aaand there goes my wallet (well, if I end up getting a chance to join of course).

Yuktsi will you just update this thread for the buy or make a new one?

Hopefully the second option, I really didn't like it how most of the X60 GB was run in xondat's IC and would really hope that this does not happen regularly.

EDIT: Just wondering, I rarely see plates with switch top removal capability in custom boards, why is that? it seems like a neat feature to have.

So this is first-come-first-serve right? Guess I should start checking in every half day, or maybe I should just forgo sleep and just monitor at this thread 24/7.Yeah bb. Just turn on the notification for this thready will do, don't need 24/7.
I will post a new thread (like I always did) at the group buy section, will post an update here once it is submitted.
Still, it should take awhile for the mod to approve it.
p/s: still waiting for the Tris prototype.
Most likely trying to get into this buy :thumb: looks neat.Because I hate it. If you are soldering the led directly to the PCB, the top removable plate serves no purpose. If you using sip socket or if you are don't use any switch LED, the switch top/stem will be pulled out along with the cap.

It's just annoying and I hate it. Sorry bb, I don't like switch top removable plate.

All good, I was just wondering in general, and those are some very valid points I oddly enough haven't thought about at the time of asking!

Are the "failed" prototypes functional? If so, I would be down to buy one (hopefully PCB included), especially if I don't get in the GB.

Thank you for the kind words. Chicken soup is already in the making (even the real deal and not just some instant bags, thanks to my granny), and I've been sipping water and tea almost non-stop today :thumb: . I'll be alright, it's not the first cold I ever caught and it will definitely not be the last one.
I don't know if I interpreted that wrong (probably did, brain's not on 100% right now), but please don't postpone anything because of me, that would be unfair for other people. I'll get around. And if I end up being too late for one of these, though it would be a bummer, it's not the end of the world. :thumb:

Logo will be repositioned
Hello peeps, it has been more than a year since Jane CE. Many things happened during this period of time. ivan went missing, juahenza rised as the pride of Asia, Trump became POTUS, still no re-run of digilog (maybe I should try that someday). All these aside, I hope you guys are well.
About TGR 65% aka 910
65% is probably the best layout, be it for Overwatcher or casual type. There was a period of time when I used only the HHKB. LZ-SQ is the one that pulled me back from the dark side. TGR-910 is designed to provide the best typing feeling in a compact layout, while maintaining a effective number of keys. The design (?) is highly influenced from the older Korean customs.
Design
Unlike latest trends in keyboard hobby, there is nothing fancy or loud in the TGR design. The classy design concept is continued from the Jane. I had thought about adopting the "top casing over the bottom of the case" feature which can easily resolve the issue about top-bottom gap, sharp edges, and uneven anodizing issue; but that seemed to make the board look less elegant. In my opinion, the old way is the best way.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/gxARC9f.png)Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/JQkWLEx.png)Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/5dyho08.png)
Supported layouts:Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/egLkQZa.jpg)
Material
Alcoa Mic 6 or Kobelco 5052
Reason behind the new material is consistency in quality of the aluminium and to avoid impurities.
In order to minimize the gap between the top and bottom parts, the edges have to be sharp. Strong sandblasting will introduce a small radius to the edges and make the gap obvious. I will be using a milder sandblasting with chemical etching technique to minimise the case gap. This technique requires extra effort for perfect machining/handling and prevention of oxidation during pre-anodising process etc.
The finishing that I am trying to achieve for the TGR-910 will be a lot like Lynn's older boards (ie Dolphin, Whale, and EM7). The quality of the finishing depends a lot of the quality of the raw material, this new material will be the best for the kind of finishing that satisfy my strict requirement.
PCB
I have gotten the permission from Winkeyless' Hojin to design my own PCB with their firmware and GUI. With the help of Leeku and Quadcube, a PCB was specially designed for 910.
Color
- Black, silver and grey
- Pink or Cyan (?)
Price
300$ to 350$

- Will use a less thick diffuser (1.5mm perhaps)Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/1Ez54yIl.jpg)
