Parts from the two prototype cases are assembled in various configurations in the photos below.You may remember a blog post we released in May 2015 to celebrate the launch of Hosted Fields and help tackle the 2014 changes to the PCI DSS. Arylic proved difficult to machine and finish with consistency across such a large piece and aluminum was ultimately chosen for the group buy cases. The second is made from milled UHMWPE top with a machined acrylic bottom. The first case is made of gray anodized aluminum. Two prototype cases were produced for Garbage Truck. A replacement encoder with a built-in push switch can be purchased here: ¶ Prototype The encoder that shipped with the board does not support pressing/clicking the knob. The large encoder knob is made of machined titanium. The inside of the bottom case piece includes cutouts for each switch position to accomidate flex when typing. The angled bottom piece provides a 4-degree incline. The plate is attached to the underside of the top case piece using six tabs located on the top and bottom edges of the plate. The Garbage Truck case is a two-part top-mount design. They are covered in a red solder mask and have the name of the board written in white script across the underside of the alphas cluster.Ī white cerakoted Garbage Truck with a gORTHage Truck PCB, DSS Solarized Dark keycaps, and custom resin knob Four extra pins from the MCU are broken out between the indicator LEDs and encoder knob to support adding RGB LED strips. The USB port is located above the encoder knob. The PCB includes a grounding wire that attaches to a screw in the metal top case that improves ESD protection. There are three through-hole indicators located between the encoder knob and the arrow cluster. None of the switch locations include through-hole or surface mount LEDs so per-key lighting is not an option. 7u centered - the 7u spacebar is shifted to the left by 1.25u to allow for a centered spacebar on the bottom rowĪll switches are oriented in the south-facing position.7u - the spacebar is stretched to 7u and the rightmost 1u on the bottom row is changed to 1.25u.Garbage Truck supports three layouts, though two of them are just alternate placements for a 7u spacebar. Measurement of the titanium Garbage Truck knob. Many users have omitted the two center screws when building their boards for additional flex when typing. The switch plate is attached to the top case piece with six mounting screws - three each along the top and bottom edges. Three 3mm through-hole LEDs are located between the arrow cluster and the knob. The stock titanium knob that shipped with Garbage Truck boards is 29.7mm in diameter. The cutout for the large knob on Garbage Truck is 30mm in diameter. The extended design also allows for a wider 1.75u Enter key (vs 1.5u on Minivan) and the addition of a 1.25u right Shift key. 2u Backspace support is not included, though it can be achieved with a 2u POS-spaced keycap. The "alphas" section of the board is 13u wide (versus the 12.75u wide Minivan layout), allowing for the swap from 1.75u Backspace to a split 1u Backspace layout. The most notable features of Garbage Truck include the large encoder knob above the detached arrow cluster, the separated numpad on the right hand side, and the exclusion of the traditional "Minivan" 1.75u Backspace key. It was first teased as a drawing in a photo of a Minivan posted in the gallery section of. Garbage Truck is an 1800-style 40% keyboard (jokingly referred to as a 1400 layout) - meaning it is a 4-row layout with a detached arrow key cluster and numpad.
