[IC] Meridian
« on: Thu, 06 August 2020, 22:43:44 »



Meridian
Ergonomic 60% Keyboard

Tradition and Revolution
A seamless design combined with sharp angles constructs a centerpiece fit for your modern desk.
The three LED indicators and identical alphanumeric bend angles carry on the legacy from the Prime_E.





Trustworthy Typing Experience
An aluminum top-mounted plate offers typing comfort and a middle-ground rigidity which pairs well with various switch types.
The internal brass weight adds enough heft to keep the board stable during heavy use.





The Ergonomic Factor
Based on the Prime_E, the alphas bend in at a soft 8 degree angle rather than the aggressive 12 degree bend of most Alice-esque boards.
The layout is built around common keycap sizes for maximized compatibility with existing keysets.





Specifications
PCB: Soldered, USB-C, ESD protected
Indicators: RGB LED indicators, in-switch caps lock LED
Plate: Aluminum, top mount
Typing angle: 7 degrees
Alphanumerics bend angle: 8 degrees
Weight: Brass, bead blasted
Likely Colors: Black, Dark Gray, Deep Blue





Layout





Typing Sounds



Other Info
Designed by: ai03
Produced and fulfilled by: Prime Keyboards
Availability: In stock. ETA is before the end of January 2021
Price: TBD

I absolutely adore this. I always wondered why Alice had these huge gaps on the bottom row. Adding the keys there (and keeping them all 1.25, so that one could keep a kit's 1.5 bottom row for another board, potentially) seems like a no-brainer. Awesome!

I was worried that the spacebar would be too far to the left... Then I ran a test on my own board and it seems I hit the spacebar between V and B anyway. So I guess this is just perfect.

When and where can you buy this at? Call me enthusiastic! I guess I thought it was out of the IC phase after reading everything.

There is a compact feel to this compared to other Alice style layouts.
I am more than interested in this.

Really nice and clean design. It is always great to see prototypes in such an early IC phase (and even in multiple colors).

Just one layout question: could you add split left Shift support?

Looks great, might be the first ergo that doesn't scare me away with the sharp angle.  Can't wait for the in-stock bloodbath.

As a primarily macOS user, after using the Alice layout for some time, the bottom row here looks really good. Looking forward to this!

The colors will likely stay as they are seen here. At least for the first round. Future rounds may see a change in colors.

Finally an alice layout without the nav cluster, also a more traditional bottom row so I don't have to relearn mac shortcuts and in stock? Looks like a really solid board, great work guys.
