Final Information:
Theca GB will start on November 16th and be open for two weeks, closing on the 30th. GB may close early if soft cap is met.
Mounting:
V1 Gaskets Left, V2 Gaskets Right. Only 20A in Black (matte) for final production. Theca can be mounted in two ways: Top Mount or Gasket Mount. Unlike most other gasket mounted boards, Theca utilizes custom injection moulded silicone gaskets to achieve a smooth and flexible typing experience, accompanied by the recessed areas on the bottom case for increased flex.
After manufacturing and testing prototypes using different gasket thicknesses, I am extremely satisfied with the resulting typing feel and flex. Gaskets will be available in only 1 hardness: 20A Durometer (Black). Due to the lack of adhesive between the gaskets and plate/case, harnesses can be seamlessly installed and swapped without frustration or clean-up.
As well as this, Theca can also be mounted to the top case using 8 screws for a more classic typing feel.
Topre Addon Kit:
For Theca, we will be offering an addon kit for topre compatible parts, this kit will include PCB, plate, standoffs and screws. Designed by the Talented Cipulot, this pcb allows for multi-layout options including 7u & 6.25u bottom rows along with stepped and regular capslock. Above are some pictures of the PCB with artwork by Rubrehose!
Internals:
Theca's Internals have been updated since the initial prototype, this will provide a cleaner look and should give a more even sound.
Please note that all brass weights will be clear-coated.
Included Carry Case:
More
This premium carry case included with Theca has been designed to make it easy to place and pick up boards with wide side openings for hands. This bag uses two custom moulded eva parts to hold Theca while also separating extra parts such as plates, PCBs and extra gaskets. Sponge foam has been adhered to the top of the case to prevent damage during shipping and daily use.
