[IC] Mekanisk Type X
« on: Thu, 28 November 2019, 13:43:04 »
Alongside the Klippe S, we will launch a tray mount.




This is a tray mount, It has 4 mounting points with silicone standoffs over so the PCB is isolated.

The typing experience is flexible, and I recommend foam to go with it(so the PCB has something to hit other than metal, if you type hard). I have personally used this case for a good while now, and it is the best tray mount experience I have personally had.










All the pictures use a much rougher anodizing than the final product.


Product page:

https://mekanisk.co/collections/type-x-1/products/type-x-mechanical-keyboard




Pricing:
$219 for a full kit with the case, PC plate and a WT60-D PCB.

$165 for just case + PC plate.




This case provides a fantastic typing experience, with an affordable price. Additionally it provides a great typing sound.

17 mm starting height. Walls reach up to cover the gap between keycaps and switches. This also helps with sound.

All cases ship with an PC(polycarbonate) plate. There is also limited color options. This is to save costs. You can buy additional plates, in the store.


Colors:

Ultramarine
Black
Silver

Oof, I literally just ordered a R3 Klippe from 1UP today & now you drop this, LOL! Looks like the wallet is gonna get quite a bit thinner than I had planned this week.

Edit: When will the sale be live on your site?

Sorry, that should have definitely have been in the info. It is 8 degrees.

Personally, yes. You have to remember that this is all subjective.

I'm quite sure it fits most standard 60% PCBs given it's a tray mount.

Can you check if you have the correct quantity in the card, Shipping to Aus should be half that cost.

Hey LeandreN, how long will the Type-X be up for order & is there a cap on the number of them you will be making? I am very interested in one, but just bought a Klippe for my ALPS64 build from 1up yesterday & my wallet could use some recovery before I order this.

I changed some settings, can you try again? I have no idea why this is happening, I have no shipping rate that is $78.

There is no cap on the Type X and it will be open for a week or two more.

Combined with foam under the PCB this will be an excellent purchase. I have basically that configuration in my T60 (90a o-rings, thick shelf liner, plastic plate), it feels and sounds excellent. Brass also gets more comfortable to use in this kind of setup.

This is my experience with the prototypes also, you get more of a soft landing experience, even on brass.

I will go through and double check all shipping prices and refund if there are anyone that was charged the wrong amount.

Hmm, I will look at this before the pre order closes. I am so sorry for the issue.
You can order, and I will refund the shipping cost, or you can wait a couple of days and I will have to find a solution.
