— KBD2600, Parcel, ACP, Divinity, Greenhouse — 2 min read
Hey everybody, this was my first week doing keyboard stuff semi-full time and I got a TON of stuff done. Unfortunately (at least this week), most of what went down was either behind the scenes stuff or collaborations that I can't share yet, but there will be more information on those in the coming weeks.
This week was the first week of my design streams and I had a great time and can't wait to continue doing them. In future weeks I'm gonna mix the content up a little bit and we'll be doing some prototype builds, switch lubing and chatting, and maybe some guest appearances as well. The streams will also be on Saturday at 12:00 PM Pacific Time from now on since it sounded like a lot of people, understandably, had work and couldn't make it.
Currently the manufacturer is waiting on a good quote for aluminum before proceeding with the quotes for the board itself.
Right now it's looking like the vendor for Parcel is going to be the same vendor as the one for the KBD2600 (who I still can't reveal unfortunately).
The goal is to have all the parts for the ACP boards standardized and readily available to whoever wants them so I spent some time this week looking into suppliers for parts. Right now it's looking like I have a source lined up for the case feet, however, I'm still looking for a good source for the other parts.
I accidentally leaked this board on stream by setting it as the background for my starting soon section. I was planning on announcing it soon anyway, but now I'll just be announcing it a bit earlier than expected.
This board is in the tail end of the design phase so I have the majority of the concrete details hammered out. It will be a 60% but will have a TKL version follow shortly after, it will use a leaf-spring mounting system, and it will be made from anodized aluminum. Expect more renders and information in the weeks to come.
I worked on this board during Wednesday's stream, however, at the moment it's little more than a concept so once again, expect more information in the following weeks.
And that's about it for this week, thanks for everything guys :)
