Info

I made this keyboard since I was typing a lot, and my laptop's keyboard wasn't gonna cut it. It might prove hazardous to my health over a long period, I also plan to buy a wristrest with this if it suits me.

I also think this is the perfect keyboard, since it has all the useful keys, and an RE + Display. I'll use the RE to control my songs, and the display to show the current playing song. The firmware for it is gonna be so spicy. Oh and it also looks very nice in my eyes. Took me more than 80 hours making the PCB, Case and researching for the BOM. I've made so many new changes and spent most of my time on revisions.

PCB

The PCB's size is 360.4mm x 130.4mm

Case

Thickness:-

• Top: 7mm
• Plate: 1.5mm
• Bottom: 11.5mm
• Total: 20mm

The case was made in Fusion360.

I chose to add branding on the bottom case only for aesthetics. In order for the parts to be 3d printed, they're divided into 2 each.

The Layout is a TKL (Tenkey-less) layout with some mods.

Total Pricing

The keyboard comes out to be 10,249 INR ($119.49) when adding ordered parts and PCB. Does not include 3D - Printed case, Pico and Knob. PS:- (Seed Studio costs $142 ) I have chose "air registered mail" over "UPS World Saver" because air registered mail is less likely to get customs even if it is more expensive.

Notes :-

I want all the six 3D-printed parts to be printed in black color. ^ that includes: TOP1.step, TOP2.step, BOTTOM1.step, BOTTOM2.step, MIDDLE1.step and MIDDLE2.step I want the 1x Rotary encoder knob as well.

Some of the above items, were ordered in packs due to unavailability of singular items. The pricing might slightly vary due to flash sales, and dollar market trends.
