Back again with some updates on what's been cooking. A few projects have made some good progress, and the Afternoon Breeze Rev. 1.4 has a lot of changes in it for a re-release.

Spotted in the Wild!

Maybe you'll draw some inspiration from what you see in the following builds:

Updates

Sinc LM

The Sinc LM PCBs and cases are both on order. Cases are coming in two configurations: one with a macro column and one without. Expected availability is July.

Chiri CE

PCB production on the Chiri CE is nearly complete. For this re-release, rather than aluminum cases, we'll be doing 3D-printed cases in-house for now. That may change down the road, but it gets the board back out sooner.

Afternoon Breeze

Rev. 1.4 of the Afternoon Breeze has been worked up with quite a few changes. Choc V2 support is now included, and there are pins and an EZmate connector for adding a battery, plus a slide switch for battery control. The heatset inserts are also moving from M3 to M2 to prevent screw head interference with the switches, which has been a known issue. PCBs and cases will both be black, and there will be separate MX and Choc versions of both the PCB and case. Cases will be 3D-printed in PETG this time around instead of resin like the previous run. The cases have undergone a redesign from scratch as well, with fewer gaps.

Quefrency Rev. 7

The left half PCB of the Quefrency Rev. 7 is done. A new thumb add-on PCB has also been designed that lets you add two extra thumb keys, compatible with MX, Choc V1, or Choc V2 switches. It's a similar concept to what the Dygma Raise does with its thumb cluster. You can stick two 1u keys on there, or go with a 1u & 1.25u setup (PCB can be flipped either way to be 1.25u-1u or 1u-1.25u).

The right half PCB hasn't been started yet, so more on that when there's progress to report.

Quefrency LM

A more cost-conscious 3D-printed version of the Quefrency LM case is coming out, which you will be able to purchase from us or print out yourself. This way, you can just buy the PCBs and then handle all the other parts yourself.

Still working through a bunch of changes in the background. Nothing to share just yet, but things are moving.

Sinc Rev. 5

No new news on this one until Quefrency Rev. 7 is further along.
