[IC] TX87 - New Korean TKL Custom Keyboard

[Elocutive]

Any updates?

PCB is still work in process.

However, I can guarantee that this PCB will be something like you never seen before.

I like the sound of that!

[Synjin]

Have the layouts been decided yet?

[Firebolt1914]

  HOW DID I NOT SEE THIS BEFORE! I totally would buy this if I hadn't spent my money on another custom

[minho]

What do you mean? You can choose any layout that is supported by the PCB, and I think sample layouts are shown in the OP.

sounds great! Can't wait to see the pics. We are definitely interested over here!

[apathy3cs]

waiting with interest for samples to come.

[Rodgaroon]

I cant wait, Hope it turns out well. This might be my first Korean Custom!

So excited!

[Elrick]

No updates.  Still waiting for the prototype sample.  Once we have that we might do a formal interest check to see if there's enough interest here on GH and also for the aluminum top color choices.

Very interested in seeing the variety of Colours for the Aluminum Tops  .  Want to see some Purple, Black, and some Military Greens.

Making a note of this thread   Second the vote for purple.

[Elocutive]

Color: copper or light brown anodizing:

Light brown would be more subdued.

The only problem i have is whether it will match the rest of the keyboard. :cool:

How so?  The top is meant to be different from the rest of the case, as seen on the design sketch.  Translucent goes well with copper imo :)

P.S.: I hope this is going to be well-anodized aluminum, not very thinly anodized aluminum.  LZ Aluminum Skin kit was very cheap, but the aluminum parts were pretty scratch-prone, as the anodized layer seemed thin or perhaps lower grade aluminum combined with thinner anodized layer.

Hmmm i don't know, it really depends tbh. Its just that you don't see copper and plastic together very often i guess :))

[Elocutive]

All I'm hoping for is a purple that matches the BroSet.

Hey I've already told the producers GHers like purple even before you guys started chanting that color 

Classic colors like Black/Silver and maybe Red will be done regardless.
They can do other colors like blue/gold/purple/etc, provided there's enough demand.

I have no clue about copper, whether it is even possible to have aluminum anodized like that.
Some of those pics look like copper-plated, not anodized.  I don't think anodized aluminum is supposed to be shiny like that.

[Den441]

I would really like to see a gunmetal grey color, something between black and bright silver.

Yeah, it exists as a color dye. 

And raw aluminum finish dictates the anodized finish.  It can be shiny, bead blasted, brushed, etc.

Anyway, I just offered it as a suggestion of something different vs. the standard colors, because it's indeed available, along with other unusual but neutral colors, such as bronze and brown.

Official word from the producers -

They can do whatever color you guys want - copper, brown, purple, baby pink, sky blue, lime green, gun metal gray or whatever.  They are very flexible when it comes to anodizing colors.  But there is moq - 30 per color.  This may sound a lot - and it probably is - but keep in mind, this GB is being run jointly with Korean/Chinese communities so we might see some weird colors being made, hopefully

So if you have specific color you want, please post here.  It may get added to the interest check which is coming pretty soon.  Attaching some sample pics would be nice as well since it helps us visualize a beautiful keyboard in your color

[feizor]

Is it possible to have an option for extra top plates with each kit? That would make it easier for indecisive folks to choose and it would help us make moq on the colors.

[epzy]

I want dat sky blue goodie good

Nice to see them being so accommodating.   Copper and bronze get my vote.  Colors are fun but...need something different.  I'll never say no to pink or purple, though.

[Novus]

Any sort of sexy red gets my vote

[Elocutive]

BroSet Purple 

[Elrick]

BroSet Purple 

FVCK YEAH  .  Definitely the same shade as BroSET, that would rule over all other limp colour shades.

Now we just need 28 more people to agree with us  )

[WiNloSt]

Wouldn't making a poll make it a lot easier? Anyway Skyblue FTW.

Yes, you will have that option.

[justnits]

what if we want to order 1 set (alu top piece, pcb and bottom piece) + 1 alu top piece of different color?

EDIT: oops, i left my unsubmitted post for too long

[Elocutive]

For the assembly option, will you guys have custom springs and vintage blacks?
