Definitely a very handsome keyboard! I actually like how the top and bottom edges are heterogeneous. Any idea as to what pricing might be... general ballpark estimate?

The logo on the back looks really cool.

Black and gold fit really well together.

So I just missed the huge sale on Massdrop so while I'm kinda (very very ****ing) sad, I think I can afford this now. Any estimate on the price?

Looking at pricing of the Mira and Tank, which are being made at the same factory, I'd imagine were looking at 400-450 USD. That's pure speculation at this point however.

I hopped on Mira because I really like the design, and it, without switches and keycap, is twice as much as any board I own today. But the quality and workmanship looks awesome. I told myself I wouldn't order any more boards as expensive after that one, but this one is changing my mind. The uniqueness of the design pulls me in. Only thing I don't like is the logo at the top- I'd rather it be plain or at the very least a lot less noticable.

I personally like the logo very much, it fits the board nicely and makes an otherwise plain side look sleek, but not cluttered.

Also, how much will this thing weigh?

I feel your pain Dystopia! I was full well aware of the sale & what time it started today, but due to a very messed up & unfortunate event I had no control over I have no extra funds for my hobbies right now. So I had to flat out pass on an opportunity to get some of the KB kits & key cap sets that I most desire this morning. :'( This one is definitely gonna sting for awhile...

On the flip side though, since I wasn't able to join in on the MD sale today that does open up future purchases & this KB does look promising. I'm sure it'll be a little pricey but as long as I have the funds to spare when it goes live, I'll be able to justify it for such a great looking board! :thumb:

We don't have a price set at this point of time. But I'm assuming it will be slightly cheaper than Mira SE. Reason being a) this should be pretty straight forward as it's designed and manufactured by same person. b) EVE has his own experience in CAD, making render and anodizing. Therefore he could lower the cost and shorten the GB cycle by using his resources. Which in turn brings cost down.

I'll let you guys know as soon as I have a price range in mind. I know it probably is the only factor that separates people from those dank keeb stuffs.

Came in here to say this, a cosmic purple, or the midnight hue the sky takes would be gorgeous, and very fitting with the theme.

Was wondering whats the tilt on this? Looks like 11deg? personally would prefer 8deg, but the curve on this is to die for.

you know, i just had one request... i think it would be better if you remove those... stripes, leaving the back with only moon logo.

I agree with you. i'm not too keen with dolphin's curves.

Judging from the top plate, would there only be a winkeyless option? Would there potentially be a split shift layout? I like my function layers even on larger boards...

I've noticed that too. If you look at the side view pic you'd probably notice that is where top and bottom case meet.. Therefore it might be a good idea to keep top case same color as the bottom. It sure kills a lot of fun to do that. We will keep looking for solutions.

That thing is fantastic. Love that color scheme, really nailed the lunar motif. And that is a really, really unique case design as well. Probably won't be able to afford this thing where I'm at right now, but I see this replacing my current TKL for sure.
