Thank you!!!

on the fly key remapping sounds very very interesting
-
that looks pretty dope glwic!

Something i've been playing around with for a while. Perfect useage of the OLED so you can easily navigate it!
-
that looks pretty dope glwic!
Thank you!
-
I'm very interested in this, looks nice!
-
I'm curious why you skipped on the right hand B. Was it because you built off the Arisu and didn't want to tweak the layout?
-
i'd like to see this with brass options and a function row ... otherwise it looks awesome
-
Looking good, glwic~!
Filled in the IC form as well~
-
Very interested! -keeping an eye on this for sure.
Glwic!

That plate looks suspiciously similar to open source acrylic files. I suggest you put some more refined design into stabs cut-out.
-
Hello, how is that back going to be done? I don't see mentions of it in your post
-
Are you going to have any prototypes? I would love to see some protos, and like tree mentioned, it would be nice to know how the back is going to be done.
-
Yo, this looks nice! The key remapping feature sounds pretty neat.
I'd like to suggest a dark or forest green case colour. I think it would look nice, and would go with well the theme of the design.
Also the only thing I'm not too fond of is the japanese characters on the bottom of the case. I think it would look a bit cleaner with just the rose imo, especially with them already present on the top of the case.
Nice work so far either way, definitely will be following. Good Luck. :thumb:
-
really appreciate the 3 extra macro keys
will be following intently
looking forward to the prototype
-
This looks so dope, been waiting for a board like this :thumb: . Can't wait to see protos
-
This looks very interesting and I am interested.
My questions are:
- Can we get a render with Crimson/Blue colors? They were mentioned in Form and it could really sway my decision.
- From right B user: please consider adding second B.
- From both post and form it is not exactly clear whether encoder is optional. IMO most of the time, encoder doesn't fit and ruins the whole visual aesthetic. Is this optional?
Thanks.
-
Thanks everyone for your feedback so far!!
An Initial over the IC Form shows that there is a good amount of people requesting a right-hand B key, so we are looking at splitting the right shift to allow that option!
I am also going to make a more minimal option for the base plate and see where it goes from there!
I still have some reading to do so if ive missed your comment I promise I will get to it soon!!
-
I'm really digging that top engraving!
-

Yes there will be prototypes! I have announced on discord a minimal base version, however the big one is a 2 piece design with the weight slotting into the base plate :)
-
the minimal weight is really nice. second removing the top engraving given how busy the top already is
-

Am I crazy, or aren't all the pictures of the full-design bottom? Would love to see the minimal weight.

There was an issue uploading more images into that gallery, They were posted to discord and I have updated the link in the post: https://imgur.com/a/6OO00Nd

Big love, super nice
-
Ooh definitely interested. Going to keep an eye out on the progress.
-
I’m always interested in keyboards with OLEDs :) looking forward to seeing this develop
-
Looks pretty cool. Will see how it goes!
-
Extremely interested!
-
Really like this design! Interested to see how things develop.
-
That design on the back is to die for, just hope the larger one of the two is what we are getting!
-
Been wanting an alice layout board since I started this hobby a year ago. Definitely an instabuy for me. Looking forward to future updates!
-
Dropping in here with my support for a right "B" key. Otherwise the board looks fantastic!
-
sexy. hoping for ewhite!
-
Please, please please, give the back some sort of angle of flare. Otherwise it just looks like a brick. This needs more than just a bottom to stand out from others and features. A keyboard is art too.
Personally I would prefer a 6° angle however this is preference.
The large rose design is awesome. HOWEVER it it is terribly off balance in its design. One side remains too heavy. By rotating the design and removing the stem without removing the stem leaves you should be able to obtain a better balance.

Filled out the form. Good luck with the IC :thumb:
-
I've said this before, but I love everything about the board except the font choice. I feel like a more classic font would be nice, but if that's solidified then I completely understand.
-
filled form.
Best of luck
-
Looks really nice!
-
I am excited for this board! Hoping for an unlimited GB eventually. GL!
-
OLEDs and encoders are always great, and that weight in a crimson rose on stainless would be sweet! Can't wait!
-
This is beautiful.
-
Very nice bottom design! GLWIC
-
Not normally one for alice boards but this ones definitely gotten my interest.
-
Very interesting, I'll be keeping my eyes on this one!
