Hi everyone, I’m Simen. This is my first time to post an IC thread on GH forum and I would like to have more communications with you guys here.
I am here to introduce the first work from INETT Lab -- TRIANGLE and TRIANGLE’sv (special version) . And yet we can find same precedents in the history of keyboards from Apple and some other famous brands.
The following are the renders for TRIANGLE. The design of the bottom case is very similar to the vintage Cherry keyboard, but without three slopes for overall simplicity.
These following renders below are for TRIANGLE’sv (special version) The design of this version will be even more simple than the TRIANGLE design. The idea for the design of the indicator LED’s comes from the Sony’s PS controller buttons, and yes, our later keyboards will be named after these buttons’ icons.
Specification: ①6063 Anodized Aluminum ②Anodized aluminum or polished brass weights ③PCB supports Bootmapper Client ④there will be Aluminum or Brass plates supporting different layouts ⑤Yarbo Connector pre-soldered onto PCB. Will provide a separate Yarbo cable for USB connection
Available colors: Silver, Navy, Pink, Grey ..(May be changed and finalized before GB starts)
Price will be determined soon. The samples will be uploaded and updated in these two days.
GB may only run with one of TRIANGLE and TRIANGLE’sv based on community feedback, so please share your valuable ideas with us!!! GB starting date: Approximately sometime in April.
We started R&D from July last year. Finally today, we are proud to present our work in GH. We really hope u guys can contribute your advice and ask us questions without any hesitation. We are willing to accept all constructive suggestions. We will most likely run our first Group buy in April this year. And my friend Tehao will replace me to run the Group buy in a later time, after all the modifications are finalized.
Manufacturer: FOX LAB 【Representative products: orange and Time】
Finally, thanks a lot for the support from my friends!
UPDATE 2018/03/20 These following photos are the samples of TRIANGLE and TRIANGLE'SV. For now, many friends are expressing their concerns on the nameplate of the SV version. Thus, we then decided to cancel the GB for the SV version and we will just run the GB for TRIANGLE, because surprisingly, many friends are saying that the design of TRIANGLE is more solid and more lasting than the SV one. It will be a loss for those who prefer TRIANGLE'SV, but we may run GB for it in the future if many people want it after some modifications.
Let's come back to the topic. So the sample of the black TRIANGLE seems to have a large gap between the top and bottom parts. This is because the processor of the sample intentionally made the corners filleted to prevent the sample parts from cutting his hand. The actual products will not have the top and bottom parts with filleted corners, so the gap between top and bottom parts will be eliminated/minimized. Colors are accurate in comparison to my rendering pictures. The white color you see on the SV sample is done by oxidizing treatment with matte finishes, not micro-arc nor electrophoresis processing; and it is really well done to me. The color options are finalized now: Navy, Matte white, Grey.
