Title: 【IC】1800-like PCB-Mounted Custom Keyboard
Post by: shower_king on Sun, 26 August 2018, 22:09:03

I am a G80-1800 series addicted and PCB-mounted addicted.

 ;D

I gauge interest here since  I am not sure how many demand for this.

This prototype is inspired by G80-1800 series but with less top border

The original is above.

for update

First, I want to make less top border

like this

However, the ratio of slim border to bottom slop is a little werid and not so good.

I extend the slim top border a bit for wonderful ratio.

What colors will be offered?
I'm definitely in if MAO is available.

EVE and ALF will do MAO Microarc. If demand for this is high, I will add the color choice in.

Will it fit the old PCB?

I'm interested. Is it similar mounting to the JER-A06? What kind of PCB compatibility do we expect? How about programmability?

Plate material? Fixed layout plates?
Anodization options?

No problem. I have some details to discuss with render maker.

1, good question. Although both PCB-mounted, I have some details about suspending PCB inside to be confirmed. The JER's designer have given me some constructive suggestions for this.
2,Due to modified length-width ratio， I have contacted a designer to do new PCB. Currently, I have no exact details to share here.
3,No plate, this is for PCB-mounted just as G80-1800 series.
4,Microarc ? Colors?
5,about layout

Is it possible to have a full size numpad? I see that the layout allows for a 2u 0 but then the . is gone. It would be great to have something similar to a 1800 but with a full size numpad without getting a full size keyboard.

Thanks for the reply! Lol I'm so dumb to ask about plates when it's PCB mounted only -_-

I want to resurrect this thread.
I was in the JER-A06 GB and the turnaround was swift and the smoothest buy I have ever been a part of.

As I am also in love with PCB mount and 1800, I want this to become a reality!
Not only is this a great design, but this also has a great guy behind it. I don't know why so few are flocking to this IC.

I think I prefer the larger top bezel over the shorter one. Definitely interested.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20181114/a8a749fe4f22a6fb23ded33df4b4e2d7.jpg)
