That’s a dealbreaker for me. I don’t think I can type on anything more than 20mm. Is there a reason why the front height is so high?
Big fan of how the knob blends into the rounded corner, but the front-height might be an issue for me. Would be perfect if it was under 20mm.

As to the front height, it is not easy to get the front height under 20mm, as to keep the triangular cutouts on the back large enough while also keeping the top and bottom segments vertically symmetrical, a slightly higher height is needed. The large chamfer on the front should help somewhat, and I am also looking into getting a matching delta wrist rest made.

Can I check how you measure front height?
Another thing i wish it can be changed is usb cut out. I strongly prefer a centred USB port.
looks reeeaaalllyyyy nice, maybe lower the front height a little tho (and damn how is this thing 10 pounds)

Beautiful board and the sound is actually really nice! Cant wait what other colors ppl want to see :D Do we have an ETA?
Logo reads as "Aelta" to me, but the board looks great!

The modern letter D was derived from Δ, but I can see how it looks that way :)
i like this keybord :thumb:
Love the look out of this board, has a really nice form factor, compact, has a well thought out rotary encoder which adds to the look.I too love the look... my favourite execution of the encoder thus far. Gives this board such a unique aesthetic.
Personally not a fan of the grill, wish there was an option for the back 'grill' section to be acrylic with underglow option...make it look stylish and that would nicely be my end game!

Although I appreciate the commitment to design language of triangles, and the unique back, I would personally love an alternate option to the grill being also explored (such as the frosted acrylic suggestions). But you don't have to, but it would be cool.
Regardless, great job, I've seen sekrit renders of this for a while. Maybe one day a 75% variant?
That's ashame, I much rather the form factor of a 65%.

I really appreciate your support! :) It's unlikely that an underglow version of Delta will be happening, but as with a 75% Delta, nothing is off the table.
Not too much of a fan of the back "grill" tbh, but this looks really nice. How many colors will be avail, and do you plan on making artisan knobs to go with it?The front grill is interrupted by the usb cutout. If the triangles were made larger so everything was uniform to accommodate the usb cutout it would look much more pleasing to the eye imo.

measuring the correct way ic
I am also concerned about the height of the board but IMHO this is the consequence of the main design idea of big bulky industrial board in line with thick bezels and thick nav block spacing.
Of course the internal mounting bracket is the main reason for thickness but if you check Polygon 65 (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=113962.msg3070177#msg3070177) you should agree with me that general layout ratio must be carried across all dimensions. (Unless you are intentionally going for oddity the linked design proposes).
as soon as i saw alps support ! hoping i'd be able to get itI realized I had not been so clear about how alps are supported. All pcbs will support both MX and Alps, Alps plates will be available in aluminum only, but all plate files will be made available after gb.
