Interest Checks / [IC] PBT O.K. Ⅱ Keycap series
« Last post by hongoo on Mon, 08 December 2025, 09:52:54 »O.K. Ⅱ Keycap series
IC Form：https://forms.gle/rwqLgX3M2R2V7iGR8
Hello everyone, I'm hongoo, and this time I bring you a new series of keycap designs - O.K. II.
Prototype丨Restoration
This time, the prototype came from one of my favorite product design teams, Teenage engineering's synthesizer K.O.II.TE's pursuit of design details and highly recognizable style are impressive, and I believe that the keyboard and keycaps based on TE's OP-1 are already well known to everyone, and compared to the OP-1, the K.O.II. synthesizer may not be so "famous".
And this time, the name of the keycap O.K. II. also played a small word play, OK is also the abbreviation of the name of our studio, ONEKEY.
Design丨Material
This design focuses on restoring the overall feel and texture of K.O.II., extracting and expanding elements while restoring the feel.
Based on the height of the original keycaps, I wanted to express the collision of materials and restore the prototype through different processes and colors, so I chose a translucent black keycap + UV (tentative) method in the digital area to present it. The font in this part is also different from the rest, using the same way as the digital display board on this controller, which displays numbers on an old-fashioned calculator, and is embellished with colorful symbols and geometric figures.
The characters use a set of minimalist style characters made earlier, which complement the overall vision.
*We are still discussing and looking for manufacturers for the characters and novelties of other areas, and we will update you with the progress in the QQ group and in the subsequent IC post.
*Explanation diagram of the process color sample expected to be used this time
Tray丨Combination
According to my habit, it is impossible not to do some matching design for the keycaps. OK's magnetic screw tray is already three years old, and V3 has not been made, so it's time to update it. So with this screw tray combination, it is inspired by TE's smart audio designed for Raven Technology, which can be used directly as a tray, and can be stored into a complete form when combined. At the same time, we are also planning to design a special cover for the set, and more functions will be added to this cover plate, not to mention, it will be brought to you in the later updates.
Finally丨Simplified
Every time I do a new design, I always hope to bring something new to everyone and learn something at the same time. With this set of keycaps, I tried to learn the TE style and K.O.2 itself, so I didn't make too many KIT renders for other kits, which will be brought to you in future updates. This post is regarded as a simple IC information post, returning to the original IC essence, hoping to discuss with you how to make this design more perfect.
"This series aims to revive functional keycaps, from the director's consoles and linear editors of the past broadcasting era to various modern non-linear editing software."
I mentioned this sentence in GMK's BKRE ICs before, and this time it can be regarded as some expansion and divergence of that, but this set will not be classified in this series.
Finally, the current progress is still discussing the feasibility of the process and looking for manufacturers, if you have any recommendations and suggestions, please feel free to leave a message or contact me (thank you
*Special thanks to my friend @NNNNANSEN. in Paris for his advice and help.
This is hongoo. Wish you have a good time!
One key for you.

« Last post by funderburker on Mon, 08 December 2025, 06:03:33 »Are the MX Browns still available? Looked on your storefront and it said unavailable, unfortunately.
I don't know how a two-stage spring feels on such a soft-tactile switch like an MX Brown. Should you recommend going with a lighter or heavier spring to feel the bump more?
Also have you thought about offering MX Clears? I do like my MX Browns but kinda tempted to try MX Clears if those show up on the store.

Not sure, it doesn't look any different from when I got it in 2018 at least

Group Buys and Preorders / [GB] Class100---Fullsize board inspired by DEC VT220-LK201
« Last post by Totoro on Mon, 08 December 2025, 04:16:58 »Hi community! This is MM Studio and we r bringing u our newest GB: Class100
Brief intro: Fullsize keyboard with Solenoid/Buzzer, PC legend strip with OG VT220-LK201 look design. Replaceable 3u top badge.
DEC VT220-LK201 with PC legend strip version:
Introduction
DEC VT220-LK201 with PC legend strip version:
Introduction
The Class100 returns to the roots with a classic 100% full-size layout.
We've designed a modular top-right section that houses a 3u brass enamel badge,
which can be easily swapped out for three functional 1u keys.

Features a PC (Polycarbonate) accent strip with legend inserts,
inspired by the LK201, also with classic 3 indicator leds on old full size board.

As always, MM Studio's classic solenoid and buzzer are integrated into the Type-C daughterboard located under the top strip. The daughterboard features a custom orange spray coating, designed to faintly peek through the translucent PC strip for a layered visual effect.
Utilizing the PC material's light diffusion, the Legend Strip is backlit by a full-length RGB strip and features 3 classic indicator lights.
The bottom weight design draws direct inspiration from the cover art of the classic VT220 Reference Guide—a visual motif we have also carried over to the Class 100’s packaging and instruction manual.
（Please note that the enamel infill color on the weight will be adjusted for the final Group Buy units. While the prototype photos show a bright red, the mass production units will use a Deep Burgundy (Original Dark Purple-Red) to match the original color.）

Class 100 utilizes a classic Isolated Top Mount system.
We use custom-molded silicone socks, which are then secured using shoulder limit screws. This ensures consistent alignment without over-stiffening the typing feel.
And also the design allows for flexibility. You can choose not to install all the screws, allowing the silicone caps to act as a Gasket Mount for a softer experience.
For those who prefer a livelier spacebar, you can remove the mounting screws specifically on either side of the spacebar to adjust the local flex and acoustic feedback.
