Love the design but why no Navy option like the proto? :(
This is a beautiful board, but I have to ask: why in god's sweet boobies does it cost so much?? How is it that Drop can sell the same kind of board, using the same kind of materials, for 1/3 of the proposed price? Seriously, I am curious.Well, I guarantee that anything Drop sells isn't even in the same ballpark with regards to material cost or quality as this.
e: like this as a comparison https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=109608.0
Can we see pictures of the internals, including mounting style?
"ANSI & ISO layout support, WK & WKL"
I guess it's useless at this point to hope for a HHKB blocker option like the TMO50?
this looks so nice! best of luck with the group buy funderburker.
Firstly, thank you for the warm welcome and the nice comments. For those saying it's a long boi - it is and we are not ashamed of it! :p
For people that mentioned Navy Blue as their choice - prove it by filling out a form!
Form not only is about a possible colour options change but also to see about the potential addition of PC half-plates, default plate option for base orders and ISO plate demand!
FORM ABOUT CASE COLOURS & PLATE OPTIONS HERE (https://forms.gle/CeFkDAwBA3MskQkp8)Can we see pictures of the internals, including mounting style?
Yes, of course. This is a prototype unit so there have been some slight internal changes but it's mostly around the case screws and everything else has stayed as you see here. Gasket mounted from top and bottom.Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/zJoHzFk.jpg)"ANSI & ISO layout support, WK & WKL"
I guess it's useless at this point to hope for a HHKB blocker option like the TMO50?
Unfortunately yes, we skipped HHKB blocker option as we felt it doesn't quite fit with the layout.
Love the 4 artisan holder on the left

Designed by funderburker & quaddepos, PCB design by Upas!
Quaddepos (the co-designer behind GMK Minimal and Perestroika, to name a couple) reached out to me about a layout he had wanted to see so we put our heads together and came up with Onyx! Something new yet classical and designed without any compromises!
I'll add my own Discord server aka "funderburker's house" later today so you can follow real-time updates and discussion there! Also please join Vendor servers for more GB specific info for their region!

Is there encoder support on the pcb at all?
Very nice design! Wondering about layout. You mention ANSI and ISO, but more specifics would be helpful. Will ANSI allow split backspace and Tsangan bottom row (if opt for WK version)? Or, alternatively, any chance of split space bar?
EDIT: I see split backspace in one of the renders. I see Tsangan bottom row. Questions answered. I don't see split space bar (looks like plate will not accommodate). Can you please confirm it will be possible to split R Shift (looks like the plate will accommodate)?

Oh, you are correct. We haven't provided a KLE with layout options. See OP under "Case, Colour and Material options" as I updated it before posting this answer.
any reason on 4 vs 5 for the macro column?
Making a request for the Discord to be posted.
Patiently waiting on the discord dropping on this post. Board looks amazing sign me up!
Absolutely in love with this project! Any chance we could get that discord link?
I’m guessing it’s for people who use F keys. Typically F1-4 are the same (base) color, 5-8 are another (accent) color, and 9-12 go back to the first color. Having only 4 would keep the look consistent. But just a guess.any reason on 4 vs 5 for the macro column?
is the navy board going to be by navy top + bottom?
Only 60 in EU? That's gonna be a fight...Haha, we got done dirty :'(
There's actually some build streams by Apiary and Minterly that went low-key and there's even a sound test by Minterly!
- Minterly's build stream (https://www.twitch.tv/videos/918498192)
- Sound test with different keycap profiles by Minterly (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=evi5wUudS-E)
- Apiary's build stream (https://www.twitch.tv/videos/918148952)
For people still deciding on if they're getting an Onyx, please give build streams a look and remember - GB is happening this weekend!
Check OP for the launch times at your region and pricing for Onyx base kit and extras.
What do you think about the sound, do you like it?

Lol, Sold out before I could even get to it. That makes that decision easier :confused: ;D
Ordered e-white, though minterly's video made me 2nd guess that decision. I'm surprised CannonKeys hasn't sold out yet. I thought for sure the allocations would be gone within the first hour.

green with brass plate ftw
does the pcb has esd protection?
I want to get in on this because it looks fantastic, but alas slightly outside of my budget. Rama Thermal seq 2 makes more fiscal sense to me at this point.
I just realized the keyboard that Minterly built was not black, it looks more like graphite grey which I love the most~
I thought it's black so I ordered the black…shame that prototype color is not in the option T-T

Wait is that true!?!? I still havent decided on color but really was leaning towards the black bc of Minterly's stream. Where did you get confirmation of it? Thanks in advance!
THERE IS NO INFO ON DELIVERY DATE, PLS DO NOT ASK.
Ok, so there's not much going on here. Maybe GH is on it's way out for GB promotion and discussion? :(

Geekhack is still my preferred way to find out about and discuss everything keeb. I follow dozens of Discord channels but to be honest it is difficult to keep up with them all. Here I get to see it all with ease.
Thanks for posting the purchase stats!
