http://www.youtube.com/dkwgchanHello! Long time lurker, first time poster here. My name is Erb, a keyboard enthusiast from the Philippines! I happen to make a bunch of sound tests, and now want to share with the GH community a fun project SamBuddy and I have been working on!
The Sierra S is a two-tone, o-ring gasket mounted, 60% keyboard made out of aluminum. The keyboard gets its name from the Sierra Madre mountain range in the Philippines. The design of the keyboard is inspired by three of my favorite boards 1) the FMJ80 (engraving on the internal weight), 2) Square.X (two-tone style) and 3) Unikorn (o-ring gasket mount). I have had pleasure of owning and typing on all three of these keyboards and thought it would be cool to take inspiration from all three together to make a board like this. Together with SamBuddy, we are happy to share with you the Sierra S. The 'S' doesn't stand for anything currently... Its just there cause it sounds cool.
The overall keyboard design and PCB was made by SamBuddy with a bit of help from Biso (Thank you!). The engraving on the weight was designed by my friend Lucy, and renders from Juno.
The Sierra will eventually consist of:
- Outer case (Tray)
- Inner case (Two-tone) (Standard/WKL/HHKB)
- Aluminum Weight with engraving
- Either aluminum plate or carbon fiber
- VIA compatible PCB
- Centered USB-port via USB daughterboard
- O-rings for mounting
As of 4/22/2021:
The project is still in its interest check phase. SamBuddy and I are planning to order prototypes for this board soon. How soon will depend on the feedback of this board. So far we are only planning to offer Navy (outer) / Silver (inner) and potentially do other color runs depending on the feedback of the IC. If you are interested please fill out the IC above and join RMI's discord for discussion of the board. Will include renders of the White/Rose Gold and potentially other layouts soon.
