[IC] Fox Lab - Time 80 Reforged

[KetchyKech]

I love Time TKL, it's my daily driver:

this looks amazing! I thought it would never be re-run  :-*

I love my Time and your cyan one looks amazing but that wrist rest is just too funny - or rather, every wrist rest that isn't purposefully cut to fit its dimensions, is hilarious. The front height is something else, that's for sure.

you got that right -- was rly disappointed with it, but it sure is pretty  :-*

i'm a fan of the logo :p

I do agree  that the old logo looks better than the one featured on reforged

Would love to see samples of the lavender color

Me too.
Lavender color with pink weight and clock.
Will extra weight and clock is available?

Extra weight and clock won't be available.

I’m sold on this combo. Will go great with analogdreams

China GB will be July 13-15. Will the international GB open right after that? How much would be the price for intl?

The international GB will be opened only when I'm 100% confident in the design.
Buyers in some countries are much less tolerant than Chinese buyers IMO.
One or two prototypes will be sent for review.

Will there be hotswap and smd leds option for the pcb?

Curious about these questions as well, would really love both of these!

There will be a hotswap and single color SMD LED PCB.
I'm not sure if it will work well with the split plate though. The solder version works well.
I will test the hotswap version PCB later this month.

[alper_maestro]

Yes, absolutely interested! Hope to see a Hot-swap option as well.

[kenpachibao]

could we get a sound test as well?

[marshskitow]

I personnaly don't like the TIME80 on the front, it should be a little bit smaller. What do you guys think ?

I like it how it is 

[noodleman]

will this support hiney pcb?

[LazyJackfruit]

I agree and would've liked to see something more symbolic of time like an hourglass (like the key65 logo design), or just a smaller typeface like you mentioned.

I'm personally a fan of more minimal design language. I guess this GB will have to be an exception with that weight 

[gnhuy91]

will the PCB support Alps (and plate files) like previous Foxlab GBs?

[pelunayrb]

Is there a rough estimate on how much this will cost?

[Rektygon]

holy pog this thing is secksy

[//gainsborough]

Is there a rough estimate on how much this will cost?

The original TIME80 was around 500ish.  I would imagine it's gonna be a bit more than that with some of the design reworks.

[TypicalOranges]

Maybe it's too late but I would love to see an on-theme numpad too. Maybe not for this GB but later? Either Time themed or "Space" themed (think Astrolabe on the weight instead of a clock?)

Time and Space?

[drfranco]

Love this board. I'm in.

[senter]

could we get a sound test as well?

I don't see the point of doing this. The sound is dependent on too many things. The case design doesn't do much on the sound compared to other factors.

[senter]

will this support hiney pcb?

Not sure if Hiney has USB-C PCBs. Either way I didn't consider to support other PCBs.
I'll order more PCBs than needed and supply them after GB. I'm listing leftover parts in my forum signature.

[senter]

will the PCB support Alps (and plate files) like previous Foxlab GBs?

Yes. The universal PCB will support ALPS. I won't make ALPS plates available in the GB but I'll release my ALPS plate file.

 targeting at $450 or so excluding transaction fees and shipping.

The astrolabe idea is really interesting. I have no knowledge on this and don't have intention to dig into it though.

What is the front height? The original Time was quite tall and a lower front height would make it more comfortable to type on.

[cicatriz]

Do you have any sample pictures of the PC version?

Also do you offer an assembly service or have regional partners that can do it?

[Lockon]

I'm absolutely in love with the keyboard but would you reconsider the 'Time' logo on the front? I feel like the logo is a bit too casual for the the whole theme of a keyboard. Maybe using a symbol or a different and smaller font will fit better with the whole luxurious and 'antique' vibe of the board?

[Minam]

E-White version of this would be beautiful... or even something unqiue like cyan might be cool too.

Love everything about the keyboard except for the time logo on the front.

21mm

No. It's easy enough to assemble a hot swappable version .

Will there be a rubber sheet between pcb and the split plate?

may i ask what is the height of time v.1?

Hello.

Wondering, will the pcb comes with daughterboard?

[stein3]

... or even something unqiue like cyan might be cool too.

This might not be cyan enough for you, and I unfortunately already have a board in this color, but:

[Obamas Mama]

Definitely in, I would go for a frosted PC with brass weight and I would probably cut my own PC half plate.

Question for the new plate design, are they going to have a small gap to prevent them from rubbing together?

Also I have my money ready

Looks great! Obviously like you stated it isn’t very “cyan” but I am digging the subtle blue grey tone of it. Honestly, I am so excited for this board any color will do because every color looks so good. Can’t wait for the GB!

[SenseiJia]

HNNNGH.

[noideawhatsgoing]

I'm going to go broke buying all these Fox Lab keyboards. I'm 100% in on this one. Loving my Key 65 still.

I only have one suggestion. Don't use the text "TIME" on the front (looks a bit cheesy compared to the intricate work on the bottom) and instead use a logo, like Key 65, except make the key into a clock!

Aww, thanks for telling me. I skimmed the thread and didn't see anyone mention it. Guess I missed it.

[vuhhenry]

How many units will this have, or will it be an unlimited gb? Do you also have an estimated date yet?

[e_bb]

Will this have split right shift support?

[Jefff]

Will price be similar to that of the original?

[Boy_314]

i would be interested in a mystery color or "fox lab choice" color. not sure how feasible that is for you guys tho

[vtachkov]

It would be nice if the plates are compatible with the original TIME too. I wouldn't mind getting a new one for it in something besides aluminum.

[oldcat]

Will price be similar to that of the original?

China GB was 3199 RMB (roughly $450) for the base kit.

[senter]

Yes

[senter]

25mm if I remember correctly
