GB

• period: May 1st to May 15th, 2023
• Limited quantities of Black and Silver available. FCFS, price dropped to $450 thanks to increased MOQ.

Pricing / Vendors / Unit allocation

• 100 Unit-capped raffle. 50 units Black, 50 units Silver. Still deciding how to configure the weights (coated black or clear).
• When? When I'm happy with all the testing completed. I am at minimum 6 months away from this - just sharing the project now.
• How much? Sub $550 target. Too early to be more accurate. I know it's a lot, I'm praying prices can come down. The single prototype I made cost over $1000
• No manufacturer issues this time, I am over the moon with how this turned out.
• Vendors? SandKeys, Cannonkeys

Specs

• 7 degrees angle
• Adjusted front height of 18.746 mm (see below, measured from the control key area, not spacebars as that would be a useless measurement)
• 7.8mm plate to top case clearance
• Integrated USB hub - this is on it's own daughterboard setup, deliberately designed in a modular fashion to be used in other projects
• MX and custom EC PCBs available (EC will come later, this is just an IC, I still need to test)
• 2 piece brass weights
• "Hotdog" (o ring strips) or top mounted
• 1210g built

Integrated Hub

• Currently powered by USB2514 - this chip is EOL, but we have enough in stock to make this work. I'm working tirelessly to upgrade this to USB3.2 spec, but that will make these a lot more expensive.
• Why make a HHKB inspired board without this?

Layout

For those that want to use full backspace / Rshift, ISO, ABNT2, that will be included. 6u bottom row. That is the only thing not optional here
