For the assembly option, will you guys have custom springs and vintage blacks?

Custom springs?
Likely available

Vintage blacks?
Unlikely

Springs would be a great option. I have heard 68-70g springs are close to vintage blacks. Having vintage blacks would have really made this GB too good to be true lol. It is too awesome as it is.

Yes. You will be able to customize your order pretty much any way you want.
If you're only interested in case, you need to make sure your pcb fits. This is A87-compatible case.

Springs alone don't make vintage blacks. It's the stem that makes the biggest difference. The problem is those are not something you can just buy off of a vendor.

I'm interested in a blue plate color.

If there ends up not being enough orders for blue, then I might end up going for purple.

It's quality not quantity...at least that's what my wife tells me.

All jokes aside. your keyboards are beautiful pieces of art.

Take your time indeed as long as you space it out from Eltons 75% GB as I will be poor after that one

Here are some potato pics of the 1st prototype samples.
Unfortunately they didn't have access to a dslr and these were taken with a cell phone

Not the best photos but you get the idea.

I was told they are getting some more prototypes made from another shop. Stay tuned....

Den441 · « **Reply #172 on:** Sat, 18 October 2014, 08:01:51 »

Wow, if the prototypes look that good, the final product is really going to be amazing. Almost seems like a hybrid of a b.87 and a KMAC. The RGB LEDs will look great in that bottom casing as well. Thanks for the update, I will continue to follow this closely.

Looking forward to seeing some MORE prototypes being made. Would be nice to have a complete clear based housing so that you can ogle at the Cherry Goodness beneath the front plate.

Just have them do ONE Clear Polycarbonate plate which has a frosted finish to it, because there is a complete lack of any ALL-Clear Keyboard Casings here on Geekhack

frosty · « **Reply #193 on:** Fri, 31 October 2014, 03:51:03 »

When will prototyping end and when would be the estimated time of when the GB starts? Very interested but as of know I have no money lol.

yuiop · « **Reply #194 on:** Fri, 31 October 2014, 19:12:31 »

Prototyping is taking longer than expected. As for when the actual GB will start, your guess is as good as mine. I was hoping we can start taking orders by the end of Nov. We'll see how this round of prototyping goes. I'll probably have some pics soon.

As for the top plate colors, there will be many. As long as MOQ (20-30) is met any reasonable color can be done (no white). black, silver, red and probably blue will be made regardless.

Another thing I should mention - this keyboard will have a pretty solid weight to it. It will probably weigh as much as typical non-angled full alu boards like KMAC1.

I think you meant poll, but I agree a poll would be nice if someone could make one to see how much interest there is in certain colors. I have found a couple pics that show how different colors look on anodized aluminum. This first one is of some generic Chinese drip tips for vaping, but I think it shows the standard colors on aluminum well:

I prefer "B" which is a gunmetal gray similar to what you would see on some Korean customs like KMACs or the 356.2. "J" is what I think of as "Sky Blue." This second pic is of a teal anodized knife. My second choice would be of a teal like this:

Some other colors I can think of are bronze(which has also been mentioned), electric blue, or orange.
