What is the board angle?
Is WKL going to be the only supported layout?
Love the colors, the salmon and the yellow especially. One suggestion is to make the weight substantial or make the case heavy. I have the Time and the resonance in it due to being relatively light is only thing I would like to see improved.
Cool design. Would definitely appreciate some "natural" colors:
- Olive Green
- Autumn Leaf tan (red/brown/bronze)
- Algae Green
- a vivid red
I too like the light cyan color as well.
are you considering a matching numpad?
What is the board angle?
5.5 degree

Thanks so much for the suggestions. Would definitely consider these colors. The factory can provide a very wide range of colors. I always can't decide which to use.
sold. low degree cases are rare for TKLs these days and I can't wait!
any chance for a leaf logo above the arrow keys instead?

Really would love to get on this board. Are there any details on when we might be able to buy it?
Also will there be a diffuser option?
Will there be acrylic diffuser in it?

Daamn, looks great, when might the GB start?
look at that anodizeing color? is the finish product going to have that gradient effect? that looks really original.. love it soo much and this case really inline with the case concept.. Good job!!

seems like there are some people are interested in it. I may start a group buy mid or late next month
Gradient ano is very pretty! How do you match the top and bottom casing together to make sure gradients are consistent?
How high is the board in the front?
Looking sweet as :cool:Same, what caught my eye were the colors in the initial render. If this ends up straying too far from that, I would definitely reconsider getting this.
I'm definitely interested in a simple ano kit rather than fade, hope the pricing will be in my budget when this hits the ground.
How high is the board in the front?
19mm
Also am I crazy, or did I see a powder-coating option mentioned at one point? I can't find it anymore, but it might be easier to match those initial render pics that way.
So the color options will be black, yellow, gradient, camo, yellow, red, white. Any other suggestions?

I'm guessing there won't actually be two yellow colors, yeah? And that blue that was shown off will also be one of the colors, correct? I think a nice leaf-y green color would be cool too if possible.

Camo anodizing prototype.
So the color options will be black, yellow, gradient, camo, yellow, red, white. Any other suggestions?
i know traditionally the gbs for kbs are done with colors preselected but maybe we should try switching things up. especially in this case since i think we may have the opportunity for some cool colors. if you're willing senter, how about setting a low moq and listing all the colors possible. the colors that make it get produced and maybe we can get some cool and unique colors out there? maybe something like 5 for moq. this is also in response to a gb i was in recently where 5 colors were offered for 50 boards and only three people asked for black.
and numpad please if possible ;)
any way to make that cramy pink/peach color happen? or was that just possible due to renders? otherwise i think you have a nice set of colors with the gradient
WIll the yellow be the awesome pastel yellow from the renders - and if so would it be MAO? Also does alps have the green light? =)
This is shaping up to be a pretty stellar board!
Any idea of a price yet?

For one, you can make a massive range of colours so uhh don't take it too literally but "anything's possible".
Secondly, that kind of GB will not only take longer than usual, it would likely cause a higher defect rate as well.
It's a cool thought, but what makes stops me at least from considering it is the pure amount of work and risk you take up asking with it.

It's not possible to list all the colors as options. The factory can do tons of colors. Even they don't have the anodizing pools for a specific color right now, they can build one if necessary. Also, with exactly the same dye, the colors can be way different if the anodizing duration is different.
MxBlue is correct that it's risky to provide too many colors especially the ones that the factory never tried before. I will choose 8 colors at most when GB starts.

Anodizing creamy colors are difficult. We were trying to make it close, but the best results are still not that creamy.WIll the yellow be the awesome pastel yellow from the renders - and if so would it be MAO? Also does alps have the green light? =)
This is shaping up to be a pretty stellar board!
MAO cannot do yellow afaik. Still working on the compatibility issues of ALPS.

I hope this would help you with compatibility issues of Alps. There are 3 positions for Capslock:
1. Center - 1.75u from the left
2. Alps stepped - 1.5u from the left
3. Cherry stepped 1.25u from the left

Here are the photos of electrophoresis coating finish.
I'm hesitating about some colors on the list tbh. It's not easy to handle the color difference problem when the thickness of top and bottom cases differs a lot. I may consider electrophoresis coating finish more for Leaf 80 as it's easier to make the colors consistent.
TAKE MY MONEY ALREADY. But for real that loooks fantastic :OShow Image(https://i.imgur.com/NjI0NBg.jpg)Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/kTN3Vfy.jpg)

Interesting, I've tried out an electrophoretic coating myself, on mirror polished brass (unsuccessfully unfortunately haha). How is the texture on the surface? It looks a lot more matte from your photos than anodizing, reminds me of how dull MAO can look.
looks super! what colors would have to be nixed if you switched to electrophoresis?

Black and white will be e-coating. Another white will be MAO. Other anodizing colors include yellow, red, green, and gradient(blue=>purple). Camo has been removed. Still need one color to fill in the list and make it 8 colors in total.

what shade of green will it be ?
Is it possible to get a gradient board that goes from purple=>blue?Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/7zssk31.jpg)
I was thinking of putting Vilebloom on it, and thinking it would look better if it transitioned from purple to blue, rather than the other way around.
Plus it'll really go well with the whole "leaf" motif.
Edit: Actually looking at it more, I'd be satisfied with any direction of gradient. My opinion is 50/50 on which looks better.

As a side note, it's really hard to make anodizing colors milky.
This is the closest we can get to the yellow color in the render.

Any estimate as to when gb starts? Super excited
this looks pretty cool. out of curiosity, what would the additional cost for electrophoresis coating be in a yellow? i think you'd have a better chance of getting am milky finish that way?

Omg that yellow is gorgeous!! Can the alps plate come in silver? The latest render you posted is exactly the case/plate color I want for skcm blue!!

The ALPS plate will be 1.2mm brass.
ALPS is already niche enough. Only the best option will be available for the cool guys.
Is it available to put aluminum or brass name tag at 'leaf' part? For example there was color options for GB:Time TKL for name tag of "Time' at the front
Any update on pricing, senter?

The design is final.Any update on pricing, senter?
The price will be $320 for most versions. The factory quotes/makes brass plates only as extra parts so we decided to order aluminum ALPS plates as well. Aluminum kit with aluminum ALPS plate is $320 if that's the version you are interested in.

Hey senter, will the PCB come with Mini USB or USB C?
What will be the weight of the board?
