Dataluxxx space saver reinvented

[MrBishop]

ive had my eye on this unique layout for awhile, i'm a big fan of 60% keyboards but i really like dedicated keys. this is kind of the best of both worlds. 60% with the rest of the keys up top.

i'm going to be ordering parts soon. renders below. (parts ordered)

case is aluminum plate, wood mid plate spacer, clear acrylic bottom plate with pockets for teensy++. and a big fat aluminum foot for weight and style

One x :p

Are you looking at angling the top portion? Because if you are, we'd be in business. Though you'd need 2 PCBs for that, I suppose

[MrBishop]

at this point it will just be flat. i thought about the angle but this is rev1

This looks really interesting, look forward to seeing a finished first revision.

i hope to have the top plate cut tonight if all goes well

[MrBishop]

Needless to say I'm excited. I'm liking this so far for sure.

What keycaps are you using? I have never seen so many legends in my entire life!

Looks great. We haven't gotten to replacement cases yet in the Model MF project, but I've had some ideas in the back of my head for phase 2. I like the idea of something slim and "floating" versus traditional and blocky especially if we do a compact flat plate). I would be interested in seeing your renders from a true side profile, and maybe even of the block itself?

Regardless... Exceptional work

not exactly sure but they seem to have 7 charicter sets on each key or most. i got them from a give away on GH. i needed a full set to at least play with and they looked really cool so i jumped on it.
