DESIGN

This whole thing started with me wanting a Tadpole mounted 60% that didn’t have a toddler’s writing on the back. (ily geon but man)

From one thing to another, the design then developed into largely what you see now, challenging the idea that a keyboard should just be a rectangle.



ASSEMBLY



Mounted with 8 tadpoles with 4 mounting points mirrored on the top and bottom, avoiding the spacebar.


PICTURES
Pictures are from units from R1.






SOUNDTESTS
Alu half, 50A gummy o-ring, SWK Neon

Plateless, 90A tadpoles, Bsun Raw

Allu full, 50A tadpoles, HMX Hyacinth v2

Eternally thankful to Irithylli for taking the photos and sound tests.

Love the way you did the seam between the top and bottom case. I always hated seeing keyboards that showing in the side profiles, but the chamfer makes it less distracting and more attractive imo

GLWIC!

I'll be working on that!
As much as ICs and streams are great as a point of reference, there is always going to be a gap in the image created in our heads and reality.
With my local community, SG/MY, I've been spoilt with the ability to try many things in person much easier than others due to number of physical stores and meetups that happen cough come to Mecha cough, and its given me so much more insight into my preconceived misconceptions and introduced me to so many cool projects and even cooler people.

I want as many people as possible outside of SG/MY to also be able to experience it in person before making a decision, so I'm hoping I'll be able to have the board at a few meetups around the world this year.

I'm not the biggest 60% user because of my regular use of dedicated arrow keys, but this is a truly beautiful design that may be enough to make me actually buy a 60% without arrows.  I think this especially shines with the raw aluminum finish with the copper weight.  Great job, and also glad you had its.hymn work on the renders (another very talented designer and member of this community).

I like a lot of what's going on aesthetically here. The raw look is cool, the profile is cool, but the engravings just aren't my speed.

Nice board though, gj, glwic!

Same here. Definitely not a 60% person either but that one speaks to me.

Good to see another plateless tadpole board out there, and in 60 format! Might have to try for this, interesting side profile and sounds like it'll be a fun board to type on
