We have bat shit crazy things like LZ Iron, EV.A, TMO50. – Compared to my other hobbies, keyboards seem underdesigned.

Really out of touch with the state of the hobby. I (very irrationally) love this hobby we have here, and the last thing I want is to see it shrink. Why buy a keyboard which costs that much? It’s not that the community only wants simpler designs, either. Notably, yuktsi of TGR fame went through 9 prototypes for his TGR Alice keyboard before settling on a final design. Group buy runners don’t have that money, though. 4. While I do still think that we could do much better, I concede that realistically it’s not feasible. I LOVE this keyboard.

They’re not technically mechanical but rubber-dome switches, which also makes the HHKB not a mechanical keyboard. Gasket mount is and was a thing and will only grow more popular, and new takes on old styles like the zeal65’s take on the sandwich mount continue to push ideas that already exist. It’s yours and yours alone. Please take a few minutes to check out what they have to offer and support them on their social media! Notably, yuktsi of TGR fame went through 9 prototypes for his TGR Alice keyboard before settling on a final design. Come join us and hang out with everyone in chat as we talk about the best of Mech Madness 2020! I disagree with this sentiment. I recently rebuilt this keyboard to use Purple Zealios V2 tactile switches from Zeal Generation like my acrylic Alice. Hell, there was even a board with a PBT plate this year.

When we do run out of layouts, side profiles, vintage boards to copy from, etc, what next? The winner of each matchup will be determined via poll on the Dixie Mech Instagram story. It also came with the cool gray coiled cable.

1. That’s the trouble with the internet. The switches are what’s known as Topre switches. Just need to find the right keycaps for it….

Therefore in a subjective and opinionated area such as this, a safe answer is often reliable and will move units for less work a majority of the time.
I installed a custom HASU controller board inside it, which allows for full programability via QMK. The JD40 was around, but in very small numbers with very rudimentary build quality. We have worked hard to make this year even better and have added a third bracket to the competition: DESKMATS. Polycarbonate as a material has sprung up. Innovation doesn’t have to be something new and flashy.

In the last few months, I’ve seen the same design tropes repeated to the point of being stale.

FINANCIALLY. This is extremely difficult, and the number of new layouts we have accepted as “standard” in such a short period is nothing short of mind boggling. The extended prototyping phase helped yuktsi nail down the measurements, surface finish and typing feel of the Alice, so much so that many people consider it THE keyboard … The Alps keyswitches are clicky and loud, but compared to nicer switches are actually quite squishy. Can’t lie, I think this is entirely out of touch with what is actually happening. I will start this off by saying that I respect your opinion entirely. I have to agree with MechMerlin, LivingSpeedbump, and Krelbit. 1.

Gray Studio’s SPACE65 keyboard comes to mind as one that received positive feedback in its Interest Check phase and is now doing decently in group buy. However, with many of those keyboards in new layouts, they’re not doing enough to improve the performance or case design aspects of it. Getting lucky on the manufacturer roulette = Quality. Keyboard design and innovation has slowed down recently, but I believe we can and should do better. I’m considering layouts like 65%, 75%, 96 key, and even ortho to be essentially fully adopted at this point, with the proof being that muliple makers are creating these layouts, and custom keycap sends tend to fully cover these sets now. From architecture, we can call upon International Style, Brutalism, high-tech architecture, or even the avant-garde for new ideas on case shapes and construction. I agree that there has been a lot of improvement in PCB programmability, but it’s still not polished. They never make it to market as a result. Black on black with no backlighting made using this difficult, especially when it’s a new keyboard with a weird layout. Keyboards that really push the boundary of case design like the LZ Irons of the world are only a small percentage (and an increasingly small percentage) of the keyboards that do come out to market. By tapping into existing fields of design, we not only inject fresh ideas into the hobby but also draw new people into the fold. My latest build has an aluminum unibody case, solderless hotswap sockets, per-switch rgb, and usb-c. Do you want overdesign keyboards?
