Right now i will start with how OTD started. The OTD was created in 2008 named ohbang.net, after a year of testing the website was renamed to OTD.kr. First board for groupbuy (356L) was selled through KBDmania, but during it Eungsam had disagreements with KBDmania administraiton due to absurd reasons of taked down gb posts, while friends of KBDmania staff freely posted everything, so he decided to make new community. OTD covered not only keyboards, also bicycles, mechanical pens, photography, gaming and other lifestyle things. The main members of OTD creating team were: Eungsam, Sir, Jeany, Aqua,DSPman, Sad Nova and Korellas.



With time community growned, in 2014 after 360C gb eungsam got noticed by TAX office, someone whistleblowed on eungsam, so TAX office made research, they called eungsam and started investigation. Eungsam needed to prepare documents about all of his purchases/sells so he had to cancel all GB's on OTD. also korean goverment haves act of radio wave that covers keyboards too. OTD keyboards were not registred and licensed so they couldnt be selled.

OTD 356MF (A.K.A 356L S/N 001, Eungsam Tenkeyless) - First prototype of 356L, MF means Metal Frame, The board is fully in raw aluminium and haves brushed finish. The board is predecessor of 356AMF. Haves strange mounting system and FR4(?) green PCB. I See white silkscreen of switch footprints, strange mounting points on pcb, strange stabilizer cutouts, also screwholes (?) on sides of plate. Made in 2007.03.04. Standart F12 Layout.Built with Cherry G80-3491 Blacks and G80-3491 keycaps. The point to make it, was that Eungsam wanted to make Cherry version of Realforce TKL keyboard. Was meant to be first TKL MX keyboard with variable weight springs. The 356 in OTD naming is length of plate on their first keyboard

I would suggest providing sources / citation of your information. I don't think purely describing pictures you have found online is enough to displace the existing "otd wiki". Also to leave out any information if you're uncertain, the alarming number of (?) does not invoke much confidence in being an informative source and inadvertently create more confusion / doubt.

OTD 356CL (A.K.A (샘플) Samcle) - Finished version of 356C. Haves internal brass weight, angeled design, this board one of the most valuable pieces of keyboard history, that made the footprints of modern keyboard. Haves 2 protos, Dark Gray one and Dark Gunmetal. The main problem during production was anodizing, some boards had problems like streaking or tiger stripes. GB version offer Gunmetal Silver and Black colors. The keyboard units with ano issues were re-anodized to dark gray color, they dont have brass weight and use cone feets. Keyboard uses top mount with o-ring between pcb and plate. PCB uses Holtec 628A controller, PS/2 connectivity, PCB uses FR4 material (eungsam couldnt use CEM-3 in this board, CEM-3 ~1.0T pcb was in DGE) comes with full red aluminium plate or half pc.

Materials: Aluminium, Brass
Mount: Top with Oring between plate and PCB
PCB: Aqua FR4 Red w/ Holtec 628A
Quantity: 92-122 (60/90 Gunmetal, 30 Black, 2 Prototypes)
Colors: Gunmetal Silver, Black (also Dark Gray Proto, Dark Gunmetal Proto)
Connectivity: PS/2 (can be USB too, if you use AIKON controller)
Plates: Aluminium, Polycarbonate



















Quote of Eungsam that he dont used CEM-3 in CL.

OTD 356F - One of the most mysterious boards of 356 series. There is 0 info about internals, only pictures. Probably all info was on forum, which is dead and cant be open. Probably one of prototypes, built with Cherry MX Gray switches, OG cherry keycaps, OTD aluminium CNC keycap prototype,  and OTD Alps-Like short spring prototypes. Red ano, no engraving above arrow cluster, red aluminium plate. F means Female, but also can have "screwed up" (in joke way) meaning.

Materials: Aluminium, Brass/Copper (?)
Mount: Top with oring between plate and PCB (?)
PCB: Aqua FR4 Red w/ Holtec 628A (?)
Quantity: 1

OTD 356CL DGE (Dark Gray Edition) (A.K.A (닥클) Duckle) - The budget version of 356CL. Probably one of the most popular otd boards, the board haves worse ano quality than 356CL, dont haves brass weight and uses cone feet design, the board is designed around idea of cheap keyboard with good performance in games. the pcb here is CEM-3 1.0mm yellow pcb with atmega16 controller, which gives bigger polling rate with special firmware by CDC. DIP switch on pcb gave possibility to change layout, like on HHKB which was considered as best gaming keyboard in korean community. the board haves only aluminium plate, black one (standard) and rare champagne anodized plate, plate is compatible with 356CL so you could also build it with 356CL pcb or 356CL half pc plate to achieve amazing typing experience.

Materials: Aluminium
Mount: Top with oring between plate and PCB
PCB: Aqua CEM-3 Yellow 1.0T w/ Atmega16
Quantity: ?
Colors: Dark Gray (duh-uh)
Connectivity: PS/2

Thanks for doing this! I'm pretty well versed in the hobby being around for about 8 years now, but beyond knowing of the OTD boards & knowing they are very desirable/rare. I had zero ideal how many boards they made, what PCBs & controllers they used, how many of each board they made, etc. This is definitely very interesting to me, will be following this thread for sure!

Board features PCB with A.87 Footprint, and used plate design that have been used for long time (compatible with TGR Jane, Lyn Whale) The boards after first run aint feature brass weight, probably to make keyboard more affordable for end user. Also in Koala, we seen this famous sideprofile that you can see in your Kaze. Also found mentioning of koala wrist rest. One individual named nasby obtained OG Koala files and made his own runs, so there are some fake red and silver koalas

thanks for sharing 

would be nice to know where the qty numbers/colors came from as it seems a bit off. I don't think mini v2 had any black units?

the qty breakdown for the 356.2, by region, is also a bit strange? these boards get traded/sold privately so I'm not sure how one can sum this up by region.

either way really enjoyed going through the old photos.

v2 should have black units, seen some photos of 356mini built with tsangan bottom row.

just seen mentioning of this in gh. info might be outdated, but thats the only thing i have rn.

According to this there were ~20 356CLS made, although I don't know who except Eungsam has the definitive answer.

I'm just hoping I'll get the chance to see one of them in person eventually

According to this there were ~20 356CLS made, although I don't know who except Eungsam has the definitive answer.

I'm just hoping I'll get the chance to see one of them in person eventually

Thanks for info!

OTD 360C/360corsa - Last release from OTD, was made in 2013, designed by Eungsam, iconic piece of keyboard design and true grail, classic round proportions, iconic side profile, go-through weight, engraving above arrows. one interesting feature in 360c is the weight, if you use clicky switches you can delete the weight and have better sound with clicky switches. This type of weight is more expensive to manufacture but fulfills need of inner weight. Board uses unified plate and pcb, if you were 356.2 owner you could add half pc plate to it and have different feel, also supports A356 controller by GON. There is one unit in gunmetal silver color, owned by coookiecurls. The history of this unit is unique and i think you need to check it on reddit. https://www.reddit.com/r/CustomKeyboards/comments/z7kouv/otd_360c_in_gunmetal_gray/

Materials: Aluminium, Brass
Mount: Top Mount
PCB: Aqua OTD Unified PCB (CEM-3)
Quantity: ?
Colors: Apple Silver, Hyper Gray, Gunmetal Silver
Connectivity: PS/2
Plates: Aluminium
















There are also prototype pictures, first proto haves strange screwholes on top.

thanks for sharing 

would be nice to know where the qty numbers/colors came from as it seems a bit off. I don't think mini v2 had any black units?

the qty breakdown for the 356.2, by region, is also a bit strange? these boards get traded/sold privately so I'm not sure how one can sum this up by region.

either way really enjoyed going through the old photos.

v2 should have black units, seen some photos of 356mini built with tsangan bottom row.

just seen mentioning of this in gh. info might be outdated, but thats the only thing i have rn.

v2 only have red with 7u bottom row
black is only in v1, if you see black with 7u, probably it's a swap

should we add keycaps to this wiki ?

Hello, I am a Korean custom keyboard user.

Recently, I also wanted to document the history of OTD, so I wrote an article.
It's a pity that I couldn't refer to this article when writing.

I hope that the material in my article will also be helpful to this article.
