My name’s Max, I’m from Moscow. I started out in this hobby a year ago, and after studying up on custom keyboards for half a year, I didn’t find anything on the market that suited me perfectly and fit my ideal for a keyboard. As it happens, I work at a metalworking facility and have access to industrial equipment. About keyboard case and mount:
Everyone seems used to standard mounts, and variations on those are rare - not to mention truly novel ideas. So I started to think about a non-standard construction of popular mounts.
I put my engineering and visualization skills to work and started inventing. The result was a method I called “BACKSIDE MOUNT”. The plate is slid into rails in the sides of the case and is fixed in place by the back wall. I couldn’t compare the feeling from my solution to any mount on the market.
Two prototypes were completed in six months. That entire time was spent testing, and - luckily - I couldn’t find any issues with the design. That led me here. I want to show you the fruits of my labor along with a few renders of the case. About materials:
Centerpiece of the case and back wall - Aluminium 4 mm. plate - POM Weight - Brass Top and bottom of the case - PC About prototype:
The main features here are perfect sound and zero flex. That’s why the plate is 4mm. thick. The first prototype should be finished in March. The current plan is to use the HS60 PCB, but a custom PCB may be commissioned if enough demand is there.
