Intro

Hello, Geekhackers,this is Crazy Designers from China!



Just like our name, we are a team of crazy designers, and the [CYBERBOARD] is a big project now we're working on. The inspiration comes from the Cybertruck of Tesla.

We all know that the LED panel is a really interesting point. The slot to locate the LED panel is so complicated at first place that we change it to be magnetic finally.









Close-up display of LEDs and its lattice:







When I got the prototype of the cyberboard, I built it with carbon plate and the holypanda switches, and it is just not satisfying me.







So, we improved the structure. Based on top mount, we made some optimizations. For example, we added some silicone to the suspension.







To ensure the typing experience, we tried making a silicone pad specially for CYBERBOARD (current testing).

It can fill the gap between the plate and PCB (as you can see in the photo below )

WE HAVE DESIGNED A CASE FOR CYBERBOARD !! so its basically what it looks like, and we are discussing the color of the fonts / casethe prototype of the case:

space grey and black. After receiving all the prototypes (8 colors), we will select satisfactory ones as the final options.





We are confirming the color options we will finally sell, and we have now received two prototypes and. After receiving all the prototypes (8 colors), we will select satisfactory ones as the final options.

Attention

Cyberboard is not based on QMK. We did not have the ability to handle QMK transplantation at that time, so we used ready-made commercial solutions-we used [SN32F248B] as the MCU. This MCU uses close source firmware with independent intellectual property rights.
