[IC] 480p: EC + MX TKL
« on: Tue, 29 July 2025, 16:01:39 »

480p by remiremiremiremiremi

A classic tkl with some unique design features


Board Introduction

The 480p is a high-end custom TKL designed with both EC and MX in mind, vaguely inspired by other TKL boards and the beauty of raw metals. I created this board as I noticed a lack of nice custom EC TKLs in the hobby. I hope you like the board, and please consider joining my discord!

SPECIFICATIONS

Manufactured by DDS
4 piece construction: alu top, alu bottom, brass internal weight, brass external weight
~2.9 kg built
WKL F12 TKL
EC and MX Support
Top Mount
8 degree angle
19 mm front height
Manufactured by DDS


DESIGN LANGUAGE

I used to have a long description of the design language of the board in this section, but I think just putting the proto photos here is a better idea. This prototype is slightly different from the final board design, as it lacks a top case engraving and the seam was adjusted slightly.

(note that the bottom piece is raw brass and will patina with time. This is an intended feature because I find that design element to be super cool looking)

SALE DETAILS

FCFS gb with a 15 unit cap, first gb will be in a custom ano color (same as proto) that will not be run again in the future gbs. Note that the gb is NOT limited to create something “hype” or “exclusive” but because I’m only one person with limited resources and time. Exact kit contents and pricing are not finalized, however a full EC kit will likely be in the $5XX-$6XX range because DDS is expensive and an MOQ of 15 is very low. Also I might relaunch this IC before the gb and make it more aesthetic.
