The Minitomic is a 45% staggered keyboard which I've been working on over the last few months.
Before getting a prototype made and opening a group buy, I'd like to get your feedback on the design.
Some information:
- Tray mounted design with 8 mounting points
- High profile one piece anodized aluminium case
- QMK compatible PCB
- Brass or aluminium 1.5mm plate
- European switch spacingtm (19mm)
- USB-C Connector
- Angle of 5 degrees
- Capslock indicator under tab key
- Reset button under left shift key
- Fully designed by me ;D
Anodization colors are to be determined, but will likely include black, silver and dark gray.
The price will hopefully be around 100-150 USD for a kit which includes a case, pcb and plate.
Supported layouts
These are the supported layouts right now, but let me know if you think it's missing something! KLE link (http://www.keyboard-layout-editor.com/#/gists/ccb2059c9fb45724bf61908897a2b66a)

19mm spacing will have some keycaps scratch each other, just look at the E6-V2.
There's a reason why that standard is in place.
That seems like an issue specific to that board. All OLKB stuff has 19mm spacing and I personally had a prototype manufactured recently that didn't have any issue like that, too.
Edit: Not to mention the 356mini, but those are tolerances that aren't easily achieved in manufacture.

Remember that only changing the connector will only work for USB-C to A but extra care is needed to ensure USB C to C works

Nice price point and I like the layout. Only suggestion would be in one of the split space layouts, to swap the shift and left most FN to have the FN between the two “spaces”good idea. The left half of the split spacebar is quite short and far the the right (compared with the normal spacebars). Swapping positions with FN would definitely move it's position to a more convenient location.

I put them where they are because the fn keys are closer to the thumbs, which is nice. I will also do USB-C :DNice price point and I like the layout.

I'm strongly against the idea of putting FN in the middle. I love split space, but small key in the middle forces a very unnatural wrist movement. When I had such a layout (DZ60 with 2.25, 1.25, 2.75 split space) it was so bad the middle key was basically unused.

I don’t think so either. Hard to redesign the case at the moment. Unless it’s JD45 style — plate without two corners

Curious to know why switch spacing is different. Is JD45's slightly wider?
Honestly a must buy for me if JD45-style blockers could be an option. I hope that’s not too niche. Let me know if anyone thinks the same.

I think it's because the Minitomic uses 19mm spacing, and the JD45 probably uses 19.05mm spacing.

If that's the case, I'd love to see some standard 45% PCB really -- I know I'm asking too much ;D but it would benefit a lot from interchangeable parts just like GH60.

Out of all 40+% keeps in interest check phase, this is the most promising one because prelude has non standard stagger and lynx l50 will not support 6.25 spacebar.

Right now this keyboard is a solid maybe for me, but with an option for blockers like on the JD45 this would be insta buy for me and I think a lot of other people.

Something like this would be endgame 40% layout for me.

Is it too late to provide suggestions for the layout?

I like this one a lot. Makes for a nice blocked-corner option as well.

Particularly the first one with the Fn key on the left as well as the right.
Only problem is I'd have to source a 1.75u spacebar.

I like that you are minimizing layout options so the plate will have less holes and hopefully the keyboard will sound more full?

I like my minivan a lot. It's the first 40% keyboard I've tried. But I still cannot get used to the apostrophe/enter key. What do you guys do for the apostrophe?
I use the Enter key as Fn, I put apostrophe where semicolon usually is, and I put semicolon on Fn+apostrophe.

I’ve tried this but I get terribly frustrated when I hit enter instead of apostrophe. Maybe I just need to give it more practice. Can qmk do tap for apostrophe and hold for enter? That might be weird though

Split space: one as enter, one as space. 'Enter key' is just a 1.75u Apostrophe, where it should be (next to ;). Split space 'enter' is tap for enter, hold for a nav fn layer.
