What is the meaning of this: "dibinātāju aizdevums"?
It's only the founders. It's latvian for "founders edition". There will be no logos on the or plate in the GB.

Nice. Thank you.
Nice that there will be no big logos on the back? :D
Haha actually, I'd find an engraved TMO50 in the middle of the back super nice. :)
Really loving the green! Man, all the colors you chose are soo good!
Will there be a possibillity for a raw aluminum one? I'd probably go for two if this was the case (or maybe I'll go for two anyways..  :rolleyes: )

You like the founder TMO50 logo, yeah? About offering raw ones - I'd rather not offer that.

I think the TMO logo is super cute too!! Sad if that's only gonna be on the founders ones.

I'm still agonising over what combination I'm going to go with. Has it been mentioned anywhere else whether you're going to allow people to order multiples of any parts? I'm tempted by a polycarb bottom but idk if I'd want to _only_ have that as an option

Why against raw options? It's good for people that want to have them powder coated or cerakoted.

Yeah, multiple parts will be possible, I think I covered that in OP but I can't remember. :D

It's just a thought. They have to be stripped of any anodizing before they can be painted, so it's really like a cost saving measure.

Id like it to have the TMO:50 logo too. It’s already an instantly recognizable design but I think having the logo on there adds to the premium feel of the board. Just my two cents.

I'm perfectly fine not having the logo on it... makes the design cleaner. If it does end up going on it should be discreet :)

(on the other hand I'm absolutely in favour of the case having something in Latvian on it! Baltic languages are awesome)

The poly bottom makes the board to look like it is floating. Nice.

I would love a logo, if it increases cost too much don't worry but if it's a minor increase I would love the option.

You may consider a nice sticker to be applied on the right bottom corner, ala happy-board.

If you have to put the logo on the keyboard, then please only on the bottom. I like the keyboard, but not the logo. The keyboard itself is a beauty, that should be enough. I like the minimalistic and humble approach.

Just want to be clear, the logo I'm talking about if there's is gonna any is this one (TMO50 only, nothing more):

P.S. The four dots in that logo symbolizes the four indicator lights of TMO50.

By right bottom you mean on the right blocker of the board?

Yeah. A sticker for the right blocker is optional. People may get it and decide if apply it or not. They can even apply it and remove it if they do not like it. I share the feeling that having it carved from the factory may alter the minimalistic nature of the TMO50's design.

From my understanding (sorry to start a sentence like that lol) the idea was to keep the logo/placement that's on the FE but only keep the TMO logo that's on the back side of the top part of the board (so FE style minus the FE text).

That would mean that the TMO has a logo on the back, similar to the diamond that is on the back of the Pearl.

Happy to discuss further

Logos are a curse or a blessing depending on each observer. The interested parties may split between those that want it, the neutrals and those that do not want one. Thus, make it an option that buyers may opt in or out. That would be the best solution.

Oooff that's one that makes sense for the buyers but a nightmare for the GB runner.

If the factory machining the parts outsources the anodization to another shop, then you have to trust that the factory also makes sure that the anodization shop colors the right tops, which adds another row of risk calculation in the hyperthetical excel sheet.

From a GB runners point of view you're doubling the request to the factory. You'd now have 2 different model files for the top (1 with logo and 1 without) and you would then have to specify for each of the 5 colors 2 different options.

If the anodization shop doesn't respect the list, then we could end up with something like 7 anodized blue tops with logos and 3 anodized blue tops without logos, but maybe 5 people ordered anodized blue with logo and 5 anodized blue without.

For that reason, I would always prefer to minimize any chances that the factory or anodizers make a mistake, and go for one option for the whole GB: either logo yes or logo no!

I know it may be a logistics challenge. That is why I suggested a simple metalic logo. I would not encourage using a machined logo, at all.

Yeah I was concerned this would be the issue, to make OP's life easier and the GB run smoother, I will remove my vote for the logo.

OK, I see that discussion has been heated and I appreciate it. I'm on the fence if I'd do a logo or not but I'm thinking about different options too. Non the less - it's my decision in the end so there won't be any poll.

Other side of things - here's a full album of all of the founder keyboards! Enjoy and yes - there's a lot of colors!

There was an poll where I did offer some of the pink colors but majority voted purple. Maybe a 6th color in possible? :D

OK, I see that discussion has been heated and I appreciate it. I'm on the fence if I'd do a logo or not but I'm thinking about different options too. Non the less - it's my decision in the end so there won't be any poll.

Other side of things - here's a full album of all of the founder keyboards! Enjoy and yes - there's a lot of colors!

TMO50 FOUNDERS EDITION

Were some of the founder boards pink? Or is that just the photos.

Yes.

Oh man no chance of running those this round? Those look so nice

There was an poll where I did offer some of the pink colors but majority voted purple. Maybe a 6th color in possible? :D

Fingers crossed for pink! I’m definitely in for this board whenever it goes live :)

I would also second a pink or rose gold color if you're considering adding a 6th color option  ;D

Ooooo the founders editions look great! Love that teal with the black plate combo.

Been following this for a while.
Very interested in the GB 😊

I'm still looking at the photos like every hour or so for the past week and sometimes get the feeling that they're renders. Also the plate photos don't have any shadow so it's hard to understand are they floating on air or no. :D

I'm sorry have we decided on an approximate price point for the kit yet? Cause I'm starting to think I'll need to get multiples...

I have the same impression. They look like renders. I am sure you will share your own when you put toghether the prototype. I'd love to whatch and listen to a typing video on it soon.

What bottom's material would be better? The poly would make a nice sound dampener, but the Alu should be stronger. What do you guys think? Will the PCB have any leds at the bottom that makes the poly a nice light difuser? Regarding the plate Alu is a no brainer, it is cheaper than brass, stronger than Poly and it will not tarnish as brass.

The pcb will have RGB leds, how many and in what position will dictate the difusing with the poly bottom. I like a more soft typing experience so I will probably go with poly + alu buttom with alu top and a poly plate.

Yes, I think I've mentioned that there's gonna be RGB leds underneath (12 - 5 between top two and 5 between bottom two rows and 1 each side in between middle rows). There's really not much space underneath the pcb so there's very little space for the sound to resonate. Alu is definitely stronger and adds weight for a more premium feel but poly is for a relaxed and possibly more colourful experience.

I am very sorry if you have already wrote it somewhere. I cannot read definitely.  :'(


Thank you for the information. I supose the Poly bottom may give a more deeper sound to the assembly, besides being a nice light diffuser.  ::)

oh my goodness that album is borderline nsfw! Agree that they look like renders (probably the pristine white photobox contributes heavily to that), but so excited to see so many colour combos!

Is the green of the founder series keyboards the same as the green in the anodization samples? The full boards look a little paler in colour.

Nope, the colours are unique and chosen by the boards owners. The only board that uses the GB colours is 08 (silver top, dark gray bottom, sandblasted brass). Everything else is one-off and probably (hopefully) never leaves the founder. :D

That's what I figured. Will we be seeing full board anodization samples in the chosen colours by the time the GB starts?

Also I got a little too excited and I remapped the colours in one of the photos of the green board to the colours of the green anodization sample photo, just to see what happened. Sharing it here in case anyone else is curious, although obviously this is my own image processing and not a real board:
