BXG Standardized PCBs
BXG PCBs are a collaborative project between Gondolindrim and Bowl Keyboards! We have worked together on many projects in the past and with less standardized PCBs widely available we thought we could do something to change that.
Goals
- Have "standard" pcbs instock that fit a very wide range of boards
- Use a high quality manufacturer for durable and reliable PCBs
- Work with a designer who is passionate about their projects and will help people if issues arrive
- Provide .step files for designers to use and have the pcb ready for them for prototypes
- Open the option for designers to use the PCB for their production runs
Current Status and Next Steps:
Current Status:
PCB Prototype manufacturing is complete and they are being flashed and packed to ship to Bowl Keyboards for Testing.
Next Steps:
- After testing, .step files will be shared and opened for designers
- Preorder will be opened to help in determining quantities of each SKU to stock initially
