Hi Everyone,

Customization was one of the focal points from the very beginning of this design. We've been thinking about ways to offer the next level of customization, not just customization through changing just the plate, switches, and keycaps. Our keyboards have always been highly customizable, and we hope we've pushed the options a little further with this new addition - The Promise87

Along with lots of other customizable options, we are giving you the option to engrave your own text/graphic to the bottom of the Promise87!

A Promise87 bespoke unit can have 8 different customizable components. We will pick some of the most popular combos and offer them as standard units, without any custom engraving on the back weights.

Improved Gasket Material & Design
Open-source Gasket Slip Design with New Material

• Gasket slip design, easier to install
• Strong stability, fireproof, it’s very durable and keeps original flex after long-time usage
• Density between PORON and silicone. There will be 2-3 different stiffness in different colors for you to choose the feeling you like
• Open source

Wuque studio will keep stocking the gasket slips and also welcome other board designers to use our slips, we can provide specs you need and make sure that everyone will be able to replace different slips all the time.

New Plate & Switch Foam Design
We created a mold using our new foaming material to make an 2 in 1 dampener kit, it will make the overall dampening system more stable and helps to make typing sound better. We will release typing sound test in the next update.

An Open Discussion
The design under the TKL cluster is at the heart of the case design. The options are no line or Moissanite, line only, and line and Moissanite. We have already decided on the name for the first option, we need your help to name the other two!


Case Option A (Line & Moissanite) = Promise87 Heartbeat

Case Option B (Line only) =?

Case Option C (No line or Moissanite) = ?

Does the port fit a lindy? It doesn't look like it.

[bitbot]

needs more foam

[Hentoys]

I like it! Im all for making the top plate having some flair and I think this is different enough. Looking forward to it.

[Nonnegaard]

never in my life have i wanted a diamond on my keyboard, but now i cant say i dont

[WaynaPawiasek]

Which unncesary stuff can we add to have more "customization" options?

[Surefoot]

[Robert.Lussier5]

[F2Grey]

I assume a WKL TKL in ANSISO layout with a hotswap PCB is an option since this is "the next level of customization"

[Ckeeb]

Thank you for the idea, will sure to discuss with the team.

[Ckeeb]

Does it have per key RGB and num lock LEDs?

We will explain more PCB features before GB starts. Please stay tuned. Thank you.

[JustMilica]

Looks good! Does the PCB support ISO? Solder or hotswap? Would love to be able to see the supported layouts somewhere.
