GB hopefully this summer, as for hotswap, probably not.

If PCB is not fixed in terms of design (I presume it from "probably" not hotswap), is it possible to add support for rotary encoderin a top right corner? Just a footprint on PCB, no need to alter the top case or plate, so it would be buyers choice between installing switch or encoder and his headache to source the compatible knob.

Again, I like this idea a lot.

Ahhh I see you forgot a zero...

200 units @ >$400USD (plus extras, shipping and, for some, customs) may be a good test for market demand on a premium sub-60. Then again, thread is indeed titled ‘premium’.

Still super interested in this board! Eagerly waiting more news, can't wait to see how it develops

CoolMike · « **Reply #103 on:** Sat, 27 June 2020, 14:40:37 »

I was never much of a sub 60 or over 70 keyboard person but this thing is FRIGGEN AMAZING.

I cannot wait for the GB for this, adding a 50 to my collection would be my go to for travel and work.

The color combos are perfect also, I don't believe you need to change anything!

Edit: derp, I just realized I biffed my previous message.

Great board! Very interested in this.

ishwerp · « **Reply #106 on:** Sun, 05 July 2020, 07:28:45 »

Really interested in this! Would it be possible to mix and match the different side weights with different case colors when the GB runs or will they come bundled together?

brew · « **Reply #107 on:** Sun, 05 July 2020, 12:42:00 »

Any thoughts on polycarbonate with the same sandblasted copper / brass accents as the e-white?

Really interested in this board. Having a full home row and brackets with the primary layer alphas is nice. I've seen few other boards I've liked in the 40-50s range but they would require some serious remapping of very commonly used keys. Not sure I'm ready to make that kind of commitment yet.

This would be a great, classy alternative. nice work.

pixelpusher · « **Reply #108 on:** Sun, 05 July 2020, 12:58:35 »

If I were to design a layout, this would be it. Very excited about this one. Looking forward to the group buy in the near future.

For the sake of less headache, the colors will be bundled.

This. It's quickly become one of this year's most anticipated boards for me. Those protos can't get in soon enough.

It was part of a 12 hour charity stream and it doesn't look like the standalone clip captured the build, just the completed project.

Super excited 👀 hope this to be my first and only 50% board ❤️

hottrout · « **Reply #124 on:** Sat, 18 July 2020, 11:50:47 »

I have lurked on this project from the start. It took me a long time to deal with the concept of 50%. Although I am still not convinced that some numbers would help, this board is so beautiful in execution that I have to try for one. Such a great design and look. I am in and looking forward to the GB.

Domantas · « **Reply #125 on:** Sat, 18 July 2020, 17:29:52 »

Man i love that dar red colorway and currrrrves. Though is it actually comfortable for international to use layer for words? I would have to use fn and alt gr to reach numbers is it comfy?

Minterly · « **Reply #126 on:** Sat, 18 July 2020, 17:35:07 »

Did a put together + review of this thing if anyone's curious for more info:

TLDW: I love this board!

brew · « **Reply #127 on:** Sat, 18 July 2020, 18:18:44 »

@Minterly Thanks for the proto build and review! I missed the stream.

This board checks every box for me. I'll be as close to first in line as cannonkeys / internet gods allow.

Let's not spread this around too much so I have a chance

Oddstag · « **Reply #128 on:** Sat, 18 July 2020, 18:50:46 »

Having an EU vendor is awesome. But if you are still shopping around for vendors getting Prototypist involved would be great for us Brits.

This looks really elegant and I'm in love with the red/brass combo. Unfortunately for me personally I just cannot go below a 60% for my uses. Now if this ever got made into a 65-75% i'd absolutely be in.

as a 50% though this genuinely looks incredible and I really like the layout. Good luck with the GB!

really looking forward to this, my TMO50v2 may get relegated to the bench for a bit...

Hopefully you'll be able to switch the splitspace bars around?

FYI for users wanting VIA you should really invest some time into QMK as it will really unlock the potential of small form-factor boards, most things can be done in Configurator (without requiring CLI) using the "ANY" option and adding your design strings in

Nothing at this time. Upas and I are waiting on another group buy to ship from the factory to gauge quality at GB level. Hopefully in the next few months.

The Red has been changed to 202C which would match SA Sunday Morning.

lonalde · « **Reply #143 on:** Sun, 23 August 2020, 19:21:17 »

Interested, will hope to get on this.

Question though, regardless of your profession or whatever, isn't it important to have numbers important? Surely for instance, you'd want to type numbers in google for instance. Unless there is some programming feature I'm unaware of for a board like this. Otherwise, great looking board.

Layers. For example hold tab and j for "-" or "7" or whatever makes you happy

Actually, talked to Cannon Keys today and based on when these next protos are coming in, it is possible that this board may run near the end of September!
