Wind.X
Hello Geekhack,
We are Wind Studio from China
Wind series:
The major difference is it allows for a 2U 0 key, which is very important to dozens of people, especially if you're used to typing 0 with your thumb. And then there are those that meet the requirements like Austin.
First of all, let's talk about the theme, simple appearance and enough sincerity of the internal structure optimization, I believe that is "interesting soul pick one in ten thousand, nice-looking is the same".
The appearance is very simple, and very durable. The front arrow keys on the top and back of the strip out of the strip are brass weight
So the looks very simple, but what is the feature of this kit?
First of all, the kit is a three layer structure.
To allow for a sleeker look than the conventional three-layer structure, we adopted the design of the bottom case and the middle has a gap in between top and bottom. The silver waist line in the picture is part of the bottom case .
The plate is sandwhiched bottom case and the top case, and then the middle frame is fixed to the top frame to achieve this effect.
note：The plate has cut outs that supports the ability to remove stabs without complete disassembly，it is friendly to somebody new to this hobby.
Because it is a big layout, so we use the split plate and PCB.
This is done to maximize the Gasket experience. Originally, we planned to learn the popular large flex cut plate and PCB, after proofing, we found that such a long cut PCB would lead to the consistency of typing is poor, the middle will be very soft, and the harder it will be towards both sides. It was soft but it sacrificed too much consistency. So we changed the design.
The newly designed slotting method can achieve a relatively balanced state in soft projectile and feel consistency. It's a way that works for most people.
we also changed the original plate thickness from 1.6mm into 1+0.5mm, that is, 1mm plate (PC, POM, FR4) and 0.5mm silicone pad (shaw 40). The advantage of this is that when the switch is pressed, the switch will put pressure on the silcone pad in the first time. The reason why we adopted the hardness of 40 is that the hardness of 40 is relatively neutral, which can be of great help in the consistency of resilience.
we have one more layout question to address:
we will use two kinds of PCB (soldered and hot swap) (there will also be two kinds of plates). The soldered version can be compatible with large layout (recommended), but the hot swap version cannot be compatible with large layout, because the fixation of large keys and the easy disassembly of stablizer axis need to be considered, so hot swap can only be compatible with one kind of layout.
