First post of the new year! Things are moving along again, and long-awaited parts have started to come in.
Updates
Nyquist LM
The Nyquist LM has now been released in 4-row (Levinson-style) and 5-row formats. Nothing too much to say here, but if you're in the market for a low-profile ortholinear board, the Nyquist LM is there for you. I've been using the 4-row version as my main keyboard, and the silent tactile Kailh Choc V2 Deep Sea Mini Whales have been working great for me.
Demod LM
Carrying cases for the Demod LM have arrived, and the Demod LM is now available for sale. Really quick build, so check it out! Also matches the look of the Quefrency LM, so once that is available, those two will look great together.
Quefrency LM
The last component that we were waiting for was the PCBs for the Quefrency LM, but unfortunately, during the ordering process, two right half files were submitted (prototype version and final production version), so we have double the amount of right halves needed and no left halves. Left halves have shipped, and we expect to have them early next week, meaning that we should be releasing the Quefrency LM around the end of next week or early the following week.
The other thing of note is the LPF Shine keyset being released in conjunction with the Quefrency LM. There are two versions of the set due to a production issue with font sizing, so there's a set of what we call "Normal Text Modifiers", which is the size we intended to have, and "Mini Text Modifiers," where the font size of the modifiers and F-keys is smaller. Both sets have the same icon modifiers included as well, if you prefer that instead.
Sinc LM
The initial PCB and aluminum case prototypes for the Sinc LM have arrived! If everything checks out fine for them, then silicone tray liner samples will be made. The main thing that needs to be done at the moment is the firmware, but that shouldn't take very long. Otherwise, the current projection for a release would be June.
Quefrency Rev. 7
The Quefrency Rev. 7 will adjust the positioning of RGB LEDs to be predominantly on the north side of the switch. Along with the change, aluminum cases will be made in the same style as the other aluminum cases we've been releasing. An initial PCB design for the left half has been completed.
Other Updates
Sinc Rev. 5
No work yet, but it'll immediately follow the Quefrency Rev. 7 work, as the two are related. An aluminum case will be done for that as well.
Iris LM-KW
Nothing much new in terms of progress.
Website Changes
We've been working on some changes in the background, mainly with our configurator for selecting parts for a kit or assembled keyboard.
