[IC] Void Radiant - (05/04 New renders added!)

[VoidCase]

Void Radiant

Hello geekhack, this is smol from Void Case.
Void is a one man's project out of Finland set to provide premium keyboards and SFF PC cases, with a focus on customer satisfaction.

What is Radiant?
Radiant is a tenkeyless keyboard design a long while in the making. Radiant started as a project to create the perfect TKL for myself, and later evolved into something I hope to offer to the public.
The weight for the keyboard is inspired by the Greek goddess of the dawn, Eos. She is represented by the sun in the bottom and the bright brass finish of the weight, spanning nearly the whole bottom of the case.

DETAILS
- Case: Sandblasted and anodized aluminium 6061, WKL and WK options

- Weight: Polished brass with a radiant logo

- Plate Material: Aluminium stock, brass, PC half and full plate optional

- Mounting style: Top mount

- Typing angle: 7 Degrees

- Color Options: Matte Black, Purple, Deep Blue, Bordeaux, White Gold

- Logo optional

- PCB: USB-C with QMK compatibility
 (compatible with H87A and Hiney FR4 plates)

- Manufactured by Salvun

- Pricing: TBD

I kinda like it. Only one color ?

[click clack jack]

I would, no questions asked, need you to have a proto before gb, but looks awesome!

There will be 4 colors available. Colors will be polled as the manufacturer is confirmed.

Absolutely! Proto will be ordered soon.

nice

[jimboytacos]

pretty...

[Jampot_298]

Looks absolutely lovely, can't wait for this!

[tex_live_utility]

It certainly looks pretty. I'll be curious to see and hear the prototype.

[eniigma]

looks good

[//gainsborough]

Looks neat!  It would be cool if the weight on the bottom only showed the sun - you could still keep the weight the width that it is but just have the bottom case show only the sun.  Just one man's opinion though!  Either way, look really cool!

[IOVERCALLHISTIOCYTES]

Pretty board

Void radiant had me thinking stormlight

[forevermadrigal]

Can't wait to see color options on this

[Sifo]

I like it.

Did you get consent from the original Desiner?

Looks pretty. Interesting to see ballpark of the target price.

[hyppialonso]

Really love this kind of weight, like singar X tgr 's one

[Jaxxstatic]

Any background on the designer, inspiration, etc? Is this one person or a team?
Honestly, a metal TKL is a metal TKL. For the IC, I’d like some background on who’s involved, especially since there are a lot more designers nowadays, and the design is pretty derivative—nothing wrong with that because everything is inspired by something. Just want more than a “info” list with renders.

[BouncyChillups]

Looks interesting. Are you planning to have it all in one color or will there be options for a different color at the bottom etc.

Void said that 4 colors would be picked through polling a few posts up.

The top and bottom will be of the same color, you'll be able to choose from 4 colors

I was wondering why this looks so damn familiar.

While I agree it looks inspired by another rectangle, it's not the same rectangle.

[forevermadrigal]

Dang, this board looks like gmk olivia

[hyperdolch]

I think that Thread Starter should have spoken that his board was inspired by Life zone's design at least.

I think you could make the brass weight slightly smaller so you don't have the weird indents on one side only for the bumpons.

either make the weight smaller so you don't need the indent, or make the same indents on the other side.

keep it consistent

[jooobe]

Any branding planned on the top case? Something above arrows maybe?

[DanzillaTheTerrible]

[pancake]

Definite pickup for me.

[ksus]

Beautiful! Definitely interested in this.

NGL, This is pretty nut

[Cruxx_.]

That side profile is very attractive. I'm definitely into this.

Sexy, I'm in!

Updates:

Bottom/Weight has been updated according to community feedback. Bumpons have been moved, and cutouts are removed from the weight:


Manufacturer has been confirmed as Salvun.
Interest check form started.

[d00deitsnik]

Could you make a render with the corner scoop on all 4 corners of the weight. While I agree with the uniform corners, I kinda like how the scoop looks. Would this potentially be open to discussion/polling?

[IOVERCALLHISTIOCYTES]

Like your new weight. Good color choices!

[deathwalker113]

Nice weight !

[jooobe]

No option for a PC full plate in the IC form?

[Sifo]

y'all already know what color to vote for

blue baby

dark one is good too

[renolo]

Vote Dark Blue or Purple if you want to keep your kneecaps

[hyppialonso]

Really think that adding a branding on top of the arrows would make it more wonderful!

[pancake]

dark blue so i can make my shima rin board with gmk yuru please and thank you

[steezkeez]

+1 for branding above arrow cluster (as long as it’s done tastefully)

Absolutely agree. A small icon for example

The proto will be ordered with the current layout. While all is still possible given enough feedback, I doubt the scoops will be added since a lot of people have compared it to the Jane.

Sent from my SM-N960F using Tapatalk

Proto will likely be blue. Will be ordered next week.

I like the design!

Full plate will be also added, given there's enough interest. Apologies for being unclear.

No branding is optimal for me. Also, a full polycarbonate plate would be nice.

[noorejji]

Yes sir! (I also voted blue and green.)

[//gainsborough]

if the void logo is your avatar that would look really cool above the arrow cluster!

[beefwelldone]

very niceeee

Maybe people can choose a top case with logo or top case with no logo. Probably more money but it be dope

[modeseven]

Following this project closely. Looking good so far.

[tex_live_utility]

I actually liked the look of the bumpon cutouts in the weight

In any case, happy to see this progressing. I'm curious to see the plate and internals design as well as get a rough price target.

That deep blue will be gorgeous. Edit: never mind, white gold for sure! It goes well with the Void logo.

[modeseven]

if the void logo is your avatar that would look really cool above the arrow cluster!

If done tastefully, I would not object to this.

[illusixn]

Any plans for renders of the new colors with different keycap sets?

[sent-by-an-iPerson]

How about a bright yellow one? Like the canoe? I mean, I'm going to buy one of these anyway, but if you had a yellow one, that would be amazing.

[Sycomore]

Purple as a colour choice for the case... *sigh* just take my money now please, and thank you.

[VoidCase]

Yes! Planning to do some renders with a logo and updated colors soon.

Yellow would be pretty, but all the finishes for this case will be done by anodizing.

Yellow is a standard anodize color. Easily done.

For the love of god, don't make the logo mandatory. I love the clean, professional aesthetic.

new logo is nice better than before, but i think the best way is NOT logo

I think the logo adds a unique flair to the keyboard as a quick identifier. Liking the colors for this board!
