Ok so, it’s been a long time since I gave any updates, but we’ve made A LOT of progress in the last 2 months!
First, we’ve complete our fully custom PCB for the build. Check out this beauty:
As you can tell, we added a touch of branding to it. We’re going to call this effort of love, Skeleton Keys. I’ve always loved Halloween and Skeletons, so it just felt right to play off the Key in Keyboard to create something super cool. Still working on other ideas of how to create a really BA brand. If you have any suggestions, I’m super open to ideas!
Oh and the board is going to be a super dark blue/purple type of “Nightshade” color, with a radioactive green Skeleton logo on top! And of course, hot swaps on the bottom.
We’re also going to be using the USB-C daughterboard idea that wilba.tech uses on their boards. We also added a touch of Skeleton Keys love to it:
I’m currently working on the finalized design for the case. It’s going to be a gasket mount case with sound absorbing foam built into it, both above and below the plate. I’m so excited as this is turning out to be a beauty.
I promise to not let 2 months go by before updating again. But I think I’ve definitely lost some hair trying to figure out how to make these things!
