The OGR was originally designed as an entry for the OG Summer competition on r/customkeyboards in 2019, which it thankfully won. It was originally inspired by various vintage keyboards, but chiefly the Cherry/NCR G81-3077 for the iconic Cherry nose, the pronounced seam and the large forehead. It also drew inspiration from the Cherry G80-0832 for the accented piece around the keycaps to give it a truly unique look. The name is a portmanteau of OG Summer and NCR, whose branding on the aforementioned G81-3077 was also the inspiration for the retro-styled AKB logo. While the PCB is USB-C compatible, the port is enclosed deep inside the case and the case parts gently clamp the cable down to give the aesthetic of a hard-wired cable.
Also, for those who are interested, there will be a numpad (OGR-N) available either as an optional extra or separately.
Two case options will be available – one for 7u bottom row with dual 0.75u blockers, and one with a single small blocker for 6.25u (WK) support. The plate provided will be universal, and fixed plate files will be available to download via the website.
