Alas
Gummy o ring friction fit mounting style
Hi, this is an interest check for my new project, Alas is a 60% keyboard with a gummy o ring friction fit mount. I design the board to look simple but I add some subtle curve in the bottom to help user to pick up and move the board easily.
The top side bezel of the keyboard both left and right will have a curve as well to make the side profile looks simple but sleek.
This board will have internal and external weight made of brass to give heft to it, the weight will sandwich the thin layer of aluminum in the middle to absorb the vibration and reverberation and eliminate unwanted hollowness.
since we make the tolerance tighter than normal friction fit board, we design the plate with cutout on the top and bottom to make the typing feel still bouncy and soft without any compromise from the tighter tolerance.
