[IC] 880 | Cone feet TKL

[masje]

A TKL with cone feet.

DISCORD IC FORM


I guess I got into the hobby too late to truly experience kustoms.
Therefore, I wanted to explore the world of kustoms through making them.
First, by achieving the aesthetic (specifically the 356L for this one), then tweaking the sound to make it what I enjoy.

This is as much an interest check as a journal of the development process of this keyboard.

Hopefully, I will be able to offer this keyboard down the line to people who enjoy the same aesthetic and typing experience.

Still very early, and under active development!

- Adjusted front height: 21mm (v1), 21.9mm (v2)

- Typing angle: 8 degrees (hence 8 80 - 8 deg, 80%. Thanks paul for the inspo)

- Weight: 1.2kg unbuilt

- Full aluminum construction, with optional brass weight. (testing out a v2 prototype with full aluminum!)

- CONE FEET (will probably offer cones and spacers, to customize typing angle)

- Compat with H87 PCBs (with on board type-c connector) eg Hiney h87c, galatea

- Explosion diagram

Aiming around 420USD (worst case scenario) without PCB, with hard case @ 5 MOQ

At 25 MOQ I can probably include the PCB at the same price

- Top mount with Jane-ish mount points. Plate will be changed to have more compat (6.25 bottom row, stepped caps, ISO etc)


- testing out hot-dog top mount (with orings in the wedges)

Would love to see WKL as an option or 6.25 option on the pcb possibly, but this looks really cool. Good luck!

[iNViSiBiLiTi]

Nice board! GL with the GB.  I had trouble getting enough orders to meet MOQ but this was years ago.

I know it's true to the 356L aesthetic, but I'd insta buy with a WKL top.
Maybe it can be 356CL DGE aesthetic instead

I've always had a weakness for this minimal is the style of design

[VXQN]

What's old is new again, but MX Blacks will never die.

[Rhienfo]

Very nice project, the more cone feet the better. GLWIC

[kbd0]

I like these big cone feet, does the keyboard have a difference in sound having them on vs off?

[khai]

we love cones

[tulaine]

beautiful design wkl would be nice tho

[caap]

+1 to the sentiment of adding a WKL top

looks interesting otherwise

[EdgeOfInfinity]

a bit pricey for such a simple board no? i do see the moq is super low tho. i guess w/ PCB included sounds more reasonable too. i am interested - glwic!

[Jimmy T]

+2 for WKL top option. Otherwise, I like the theme and purpose. GLWIC, hoping to see slightly lower pricing with a higher MOQ if possible.

[wearon264]

definitely interested 

[tanghus]

definitely interested 

Thank you for digging up this near two-year old post, and dragging it out kicking and screaming.

No, actually, thank you. I reckon James ought to do something and run the 880 for the masses so they can experience the superiority of cones.
