October 2020: PCB Testing, Second Case Prototype Changes

Testing of the 2nd PCB prototype is underway which features a 1.2mm thickness and modified leaf-spring style cuts on the tabs.

Typing experience is much better than R1 since the lack of full-row flex cuts prevent the whole rows of keys from bouncing around too much, (something you normally wouldn’t experience with a full/half plate). At the same time, the gaskets allow for a soft bottom out and the thin PCB provides a firm but flexible feel.

2nd case proto has been ordered with a couple changes:

In the final stages of the group-buy, hopefully everything goes well and we can be on track for a December release.
