Too excited for this. One of the most beautiful boards I have seen yet.

Wait, are you saying this hotswap pcb will support 3/1/3u spacebar? Or are you saying this could be a future possibility?

God, please make it happen! this board looks quite gorgeous.. now with 3u hotswap spacebar and how easy it is to reach that ctrl key, you have just sold it for both me and my son!

i believe its 2.75 spacebar and that will only be avail for solder pcb. sorry

when gb?
No

Interested regardless, but I'd prefer something closer to the DZ65 or TADA68 layout, with 2-3 keys next to the arrows; the blocker seems like wasted space.
Absolutely no

On a more serious note, I chose the 1.5/7U-based layout for four reasons:
- Historical significance of the WKL-based layouts
- Ability to support 3/1/3U split space and 7U on a single hotswap PCB once 3U becomes more common
- Noticeably better reach on the left ctrl position
- A survey taken before IC revealed roughly equal demand for 1.5 and 1.25 based 65% layouts, and plenty of 1.25 based 65% boards already exist

Yup being honest it is one of the main reasons that I like this board - hotswap 7u. Nice job AIO3

The downside of 7u space is that RAlt/AltGr becomes noticeably more difficult to reach. This is an issue primarily for non-US users that rely heavily on AltGr to input special characters.

Yeah I use alt gr, but that is whatever since I use it mostly with right hand. Also will there be burgundy color? It is still ic right?

NathanCVII · « **Reply #305 on:** Mon, 13 July 2020, 00:57:52 »

Is the weight for the black board going to be black like in the render OR gray like in the prototype? Will we have a choice?

Most likely will be buying this because of the butchered Think v2.0 attempt. Would be nice if we could have some cool looking badge option on this. Is that even a possibility at this point?

I mean to be fair....I'm not exactly a big fan of the think 2.0 design either. I think the new badge designs stand out a little too much and distract from the rest of the board. That's just my personal opinion though. Clearly plenty of ppl either love it or are into the hype.

No, at least for this round. Possibly in the future, but probably faster to just modify the plate files once released and order one from a factory of choice.

prangano · « **Reply #331 on:** Mon, 13 July 2020, 17:21:39 »

Is the hotswap PCB attached to the plate by mounting hardware like in the kbd67mkII? Or it just held by the sockets?

Standoffs will be included for those who plan on swapping switches without board disassembly, but can be built without for those wanting very slightly improved keyfeel.
It is recommended to install at least one of the standoffs for EMI shielding/ESD protection resasons; this will be explained in the build guide.

Oh alright! But the PCB has flex cuts right? In that case we can have our own plates printed say on Ponoko and custom cut them to be half plates.

My interest in 65's have slowly but surely been rising as of late, and this board might be the thing to push me over the edge. The clean and thorough design makes it a much more interesting concept than Noah to me personally.

Are there any estimations on whether this will be an open gb, or limited?

I'm aware that the details are still being ironned out, just want to know the original intent for this.
