Arisu & Alice Layout Catchall

Yea, you’re good with CXA.

I had planned to put CXA on the Maja v2 that I just received… only to realize that the Maja has a 2u left spacebar, which is not included in CXA WoB. :man_facepalming:

There are options with an extra shift key, but I wanted to avoid doing that.

Cross-post from the mail call thread, but you can get individual 2u Durock v2 stabs from Prime Keyboards without ordering the 6.25u or 7u stabilizer. Helpful for Alice/Arisu builds.

Another day, another budget Alice/Arisu. Feker Alice is a wireless split layout with a rotary encoder:

There’s a reason for it. It looks centered when it’s in front of you, which is 99.99% of the time.

Polycarbonate V3 MGA goes up on August 20th at noon CST from Sneakbox. $500 for the base model and $650 for an upgraded version with a solid brass (but unplated) base. More details on the discord: Sneakbox

I love my metal MGA but this one will have more flex with a poron gasket option or a traditional top mount.

There are also light spacers up for the v1/v2 MGA up now: Light Spacer for USB-C variant MGA Case – Sneakbox

and sneakbox has their own stands: ICE PEAK - Keyboard Stands – Sneakbox

PC AVAs are still on the way and I love my metal AVA. Great stuff all around from sneakbox. Hope this PC MGA turns out good as well.

I built a bolt with mt3 2048 Extended. It’s cheap and fun, but I still don’t care for the texture of MT3. Give me smooth keycaps all day.

Cannonkeys has a Malicious Ergo as part of their Brutalist series. I’m not really a fan of the look but it’s in-stock now for $295 though Black is already sold out so you’re left with Navy and Gray

Wow. I’ve been wanting a 75% Alice for a while. Did not expect it to come from Keychron of all places.

Does anyone have a good understanding of what parts will be needed to do the topre build of the OSAv2

Nearfield Ergo extras are up on Prototypist for UK and probably will be available from Cannonkeys soon. This thing looks like a winner if you’re into top mount stuff. Unfortunately the pictured color isn’t available, you’re down to black and e-beige though both look great and the beige really emphasizes the m0110 inspiration. If I could I’d buy this thing in a heartbeat, just wish it were gasket.

The Venice Rialto GB just started up. I feel like the venn diagram of people who like Italy and Alice layout ergos is small but the inset knob is a very good look. Limited to 150 units on KeebsForAll and expensive at $530 USD with just three color options.

It’s a great sounding and feeling board IMO.

The KeyChron V10 (75% Arisu++?) and V8 (65% Arisu) are cheaper variants of their Q10 and Q8 boards that exchange the gasket mounting for top mount. I feel like the rounded front looks better here with the transparent plastic on this one. At only $84 for the barebone version of the V10 it’s looking tough to beat, just wish it had the gaskets of the Q10 in this transparent case.
