Penguin 1.0, 8k TKL (big spooky update)

IC Form: https://forms.gle/QUuPWtBgpPubBXkq6

Keyboard bestie back at it again with updates :3

I designed the Penguin 1.0 with one thing in mind, to create a nice looking top mount 8k keyboard with an internal weight and a unique colorway.

Alu Top, Alu Bottom, Brass Weight

Second proto was 2.3 kg built, third proto is going to have a redesigned internal weight.

8k F12 TKL

Top Mount

5.5 degree angle

16 mm front height

22.9 mm EKH

Compatible with FUYU PCB and Penguin PCB

For the Penguin keyboard, I commissioned a custom pcb. This pcb is a fork of the FUYU without the rgb but with indicator led support and 10u space bar support. It also has the penguin on it.

This board in group buy will be offered in WKL, and possible 7u HHKB depending on how it looks. You will be free to pick colors for top and bottom case, offering DDS-A, Silver, and a third color to be decided on before the group buy.

Initially I was shooting for 50 moq, however due to the switch to dds as manu I may need to shoot for something higher to make my target price of $350. Due to this fact, I will need to find vendors since I don't think I can properly run a larger scale group buy by myself. This may lead to a slightly higher purchase price, however it will give buyers a bit more security.

I will be running a private GB for a WK Penguin with a 10 unit cap for feedback, join the server for more information.
