Revanche < re·vansh> Lit. "Revenge".
Prototype Pics (Lots of details, please watch your bandwidth)IC FORMDiscord Server*InstagramAight, I'm not gonna fill this thread with the what the name means.
I will also keep the introduction short. I have been working on this TKL for the last 2 years.
With the feedback that I've gathered from my previous designs, and my experience building & using various kinds of boards, I'll try to provide an endgame-flavored polycarbonate focused keyboard at the lowest possible price.
Why polycarbonate?Many people prefer to use polycarbonate board for their daily use. polycarbonate is more robust, resilient and of course, pretty to look at if you turn on your PCB's RGB lights. there's so many PCB that offer RGB underglow, but we haven't been able to use it due to our keyboard being all aluminum. feels nostalgic when you first got that B.Face TKL? here's your chance to being able to lit things again.

Prototype/FE Typing test by one of the FE buyers who are kind enough to let me post his typing test video to this IC, thanks Fomo.;
To-Do:more photos soon. sorry for the lack of photos. Updated.
Approach Vendors. I would like to keep this thing to a minimal as I realized that the market situation is not that good. Indonesian shipping is trash. I need to find a lead vendor with easy access to international shipping to save costs.
need to record more typing test
Need to do a typing test with different acoustic material (I want to try wood.)
Need to try a different PCB to test compatibility
lending my board to some content creators.
