Description

Naja
"a genus of venomous elapid snakes known as cobras ("true cobras")"

Hello everyone! I would like to share with you the 75% keyboard that I designed. As the title says, the screws connecting the top and bottom case is hidden under the keycaps (similar with the Vega65). The curve on the bottom case is simple yet it accentuates both the side and back part of the case. The shape of the back and bottom of the case gives me Cobra vibes, hence the name that I chose.

I am not sure if you can still call this a seamless design since the top case doesn't fully cover the bottom case that is why I called it semi-seamless.

Due to the nature of the mounting, the layout bottom row will be fixed. I will test the design using a hotswap pcb. After confirming that everything is working together. I will also create a solder pcb with split backspace, stepped caps lock and ISO support.

Details:
- Material: Anodized Aluminum Case
- Case Color Options: E-White (Other colors TBD depending on interest)
- Plate Options: FR4 Default (Other add-on plate materials TBD depending on interest)
- Mounting Method: Top Mount
- PCB Details: USB-C, Hotswap or Solder, No RGB Underglow, Compatible with VIA/QMK
- Center mount usb port with daughterboard

Pricing:
Rough estimate on price is around 389$ for a kit with a hotswap pcb. I will have a more accurate pricing once I finalize where I will source the pcbs.

Status:
I already ordered a prototype in E-White and I will receive it by the end of May.
