So, the plan is here.

1. Get the feedbacks and fix the final design.

I can't give any feedbacks if there's no google form.

I think the design is interesting but there is to much going on in my opinion.

I'm most interested to know how Bluetooth will be implemented and if the software has been developed already?

From past GBs, Bluetooth has *always* been a let down.

If the Bluetooth is tested and reliable, I'm sure you will have plenty of people who will be interested

Can you do a full top down shot? Really hard to piece together the board with the board renders you currently have up. But so far it looks interesting almost in the vein of matrix keyboards, and I don't mean that as an insult.

How are you gonna implement wireless? Bluetooth? if yes, how high is the price gonna be due to licensing?
Speaking of price, how high is the price gonna be? Do you have a prototype?
Where are you located, so how much will shipping be? Have you run groupbuys before and if not, will you use proxies?
What material is the board? Just aluminium is too little info.

Design doesnt really look good and the whole IC looks like a moneygrab to me, sorry.

The PCB hardware and software is developing and I haven't received the first prototype yet, it 's will be in a 3-4 weeks.

I'll update a assembly pic in this week .

Like others I'd like to see a render or two of the board where you can take in the whole thing at once. Like, just sitting on a desk would be nice. Right now it is a little like piecing together a jigsaw puzzle.

From what I can see: I like the desire to make something unique with a story behind it. However for my personal tastes the board is far too busy and more importantly, lacks harmony. You've got front badges, back badges, and stuff going on on all over the side. You've got circles mixed with squares, mixed with hexagons, mixed with lines. You've got half the name of the board on the front and the other half on the back, and none of the badges are communicating anything. I'm afraid I don't know what the quote on the back of the board has to do with your theme?

I like the general direction you're going with something the appears sci-fi/futuristic like the Cybervoyagers, there's a lot of good keycap sets that match that sort of board coming out in the next year. However my recommendation (for what it's worth) is to go back and think about what you're really trying to say with this board and trim this design down to just the essentials that serve that vision.

Seems interesting, but would like to see a normal render of the thing on a desk or something.
Also a side note: like others said, it's a bit too busy.

 the Software is developing now, the bluetooth got a individual PCB and fixed on the bottom case, the antenna face to the acylic bluetooth window which will let the signal out.

Very helpful feedback , I have to say the design is really a bit busy , and we 've already discuss how to simplify it, and to the theme actually there is a whole story about it ,but it still haven't been post yet.

I very much like the general idea of the keyboard (in terms of design). However, I agree with the comments above. Narrowing the design down to just a few elements and shapes would help and I also find the uneven space between the keycaps a bit irritating (next to the spacebar).
Though, I feel like this could become a very nice-looking keyboard, with these changes. Definetly on my watchlist.  ;)

I'm talking about those 0.25u(?) blockers between the space bar and the Alt keys. Is that a deliberate choice? Also will there be a WK version?

Ya, it is a 6.25U space , should be a 7U one . but now due to suggestion of IC ,  the Top case now is modifying to a more simplified one , I 'll post it later this week .

Or you could do that skull symbol from WH40k!  I think it's called "the adeptus Mechanicum" that use it (Not really into board games, just stumbled across some random lore vids on youtube.)

Definetely want this, but please standard winkey option as well.
With WKL unfortunatly i have to skip for sure this keyboard, while with a Winkey option it's a sure buy because it has everything i need.

Good stuff. I really like all the accent pieces and of course WKL. Wondering how Bluetooth will affect the price and what your plans are for firmware.

I genuinely like the look, and if it comes out looking at all like the renders, it's going to be a knockout looking case.

I shall follow with interest.

Will there be an option for wired connectivity, because I like Bluetooth but sometimes I like to go wired

Is there such a thing as "Bluetooth only"? I'd figure the cable you use to charge the bluetooth would be able to/have to carry info too..
Or do you mean to say if there is no option to get one without the Bluetooth you are not forced to use anyway... you are not interested for some reason?

Meh, i was digging the more novel design elements, but the thin, wimpy, bezels were holding me back from really liking it.

Really like the look, are you considering allowing us to mix top+bottom half colour combos? Would mean I don't need to cerakote or get two of these.

Firstly, I love the lighting badges, very creative and fantasy like. But, your quote does not make sense in English? I like how it's slightly hidden with the typeface, but grammatically it does not make sense.. Is this a translation from a different language? 'Do no go..' does not make sense, do you mean 'do not go'? Can you please explain what you meant by: " Do no go gentle into that good night "? Thanks :)

"Do not go gentle into that good night" is a poem by Dylan Thomas. It appears in the movie Interstellar, so the poem used here is coherent with the space theme.

I think the person you are responding to has read the IC text - the render is quite hard to read.

There is a typo in the IC text, it says:

**And also the Quote Badge " Do no go gentle into that good night "**

Maybe OP can fix the quote in the IC text so that there is no confusion.

Do you have an estimated price? Do you have a discord? There are lots of words on the keeb. Maybe consider getting rid of the quote? Have the quote as extras? Nice keeb overall tho :D.
