The second post in a GB thread is often reserved by the runner so they can add updates without cluttering up the first post, I'm not sure why you post it seemingly without ever going back to say anything but please stop.  Even if you did edit something in no-one would read it...

Thanks

Love the look of the solid white base with translucent layers and the idea of a matching numpad.  In terms of actually using it I think the numpad needs the additional enter, plus and minus keys or it is basically useless in the design.  Having to move away from the numpad to press enter or plus every time you are entering numbers is pointless and it would just not get used.  It could be a macro pad I guess.

Yea the N9NE will more then likely be used as a macropad rather then a numpad

Two questions:

1. By non-variable layout, do you mean the PCB will not have compatibility for other layouts (e.g. split backspace, 7u spacebar, etc.)?
2. Would you consider moving the blocker to the top-right of the keyboard?

2. Would you consider moving the blocker to the top-right of the keyboard?

1. Sadly no option for 7u spacebar or split backspace due to it having to stay fixed layout to be able to accommodate both MX and Optical switch options.
2. We did consider this buy find the east blocker where it currently is to be a unique location compared to other 65% boards on the market.

Appreciate the Questions

69? nice...  ;D

I like the look of this, the acrylic alu combination is fire, and I appreciate the fact it looks vastly different from other 65%.

That's a really cute macropad, and if price is reasonable, I will cop that at a minimum.

Would love to support a local OCE maker <3

- Can there be a version with a 1u blocker to the left of the left arrow? Having the left arrow next to a 1u key makes finding the arrow key super lame, I often place my hand incorrectly there. Also makes it harder to match keycap sets with it
- Any chance of split spacebar support?
- I also just saw the cat above the right arrow, is that optional? Would be a deal-breaker for me.

- Dont like the bottom row blocker as many other boards do this and i wanted to design something different
- Split spacebar support is something im looking to add but i wont be able to add other supports due to the plate being optimized for both MX and Optical Switches
- The OwO is a friendly OwO and lives inside the keyboard.

Thankyou Guill3m

As for the split spacebar it is something we plan on hopefully adding. Originally we thought it was impossible as we want to make the plate suitable for both MX and Optical PCB's but recently found out that Optical PCB's can support split spacebar.

Just wanted to post here and say this guy is a garbage human being that abandoned this project without supporting users with issues on his discord. At least 1 known non-delivery of their board, fitment issues, and he's just gone at this point. If you find this group buy, avoid joining his discord. You won't get anywhere. Dworf is a scumbag.
