[GB] GLARE TKL l Top Mount, 11degree, 4kg

[geonworks]

Hello, i'm Geon from South Korea

This keyboard is designed by Glare
He was my first customer, he has completed 3 TKL by himself so far, and now I'm releasing is his 4th TKL
Yes, he's a TKL addict, Deep dish, Stepped CapsLock, WKL and Split R.shift

He has enjoyed keyboard hobbies for a long time, and I have met many customers, but I have never seen a customer who is so sincere about keyboards.
That's how I entered the keyboard world and now we share a lot as good partners. Except for my wife.

And now We are going to start Group-buy Glare TKL

Father Geon back at it.

Juiciest looking TKL in a while. GLWGB

[of_sam]

Hot

[nu_types]

Hawt

[Mr_BeastQuake]

I just barely think I recall a comment OP made about SS being tough to work with. Any concern for the SS weight on this one? I’m over brass.

[TjarleN]

I need this, so glad the buy is happening now

[Cipulot]

I don't need another TKL.

11 degree? Sounds quite steep. Why that choice?

why not

[4milk]

Looks great

[wigol2506]

let's go geon let's go

LFG. It’s happening folks.

[ZAND4]

Ok whatever.. Lets go!

[Puddsy]

wish the stainless add on wasn't an extra 120 but it is what it is.

getting blue grey glare to go with my blue grey orion and then never buying another TKL ever again

[bshendy]

From what it looks like, if the weight is driving the typing angle, will there be an option in the future for an alternative weight that allows for a lesser typing angle?

i believe geon said on his discord that there will not be, but it was a while ago and i could be wrong

[mixie]

Hawt, thicc, juicy.

[o3okevin]

dang that boi thicc

[OmegaZero55]

I'm so ready. Looking forward to trying out the flex of the CEM-3 PCB!

[ubmit]

based

[maximm]

Can we get a plate with ISO support?

[LXVRGS]

lets get this bread

[hangul]

I want one. No, two.

Quality from geon is very bad lately. He had to recall more than 200 keyboards because they had very serious defects. Just log into his discord and see the hell that he created. He doesn't even inspect his keyboards.

I bought into F2 and my toblerone weight has the infamous chipped corner issues. I was sorely disappointed with how this mistake happened for a 500/600USD keyboard.
However, Geon went above and beyond to do right thing for affected customers. From doing returns&full refunds, he is also offering a 'priority R2' for those who returned their keyboard due mentioned issues but still want an F2 with 10% discount for those who haven't built their unit yet.

Make no mistake, this shouldn't have happened in the first place but the after-sales support from Geon reinstated my trust in him to run a proper GB and I believe that he has since learned from dealing with polished SS.

[busytimmy]

I can't wait to employ proper typing technique and not destroy my wrists using this thing.

Brass is always better than SS for keyboard, As long as you don't mind discoloration.

This keyboard was implemented three years ago for Korean users, but it has been revived. Therefore, most of the tastes of Koreans were applied. The stainless steel weight was added because they requested a lot.Due to the high defect rate, there are many products that need to be discarded

[geonworks]

Can we get a plate with ISO support?

I will provide the plate file for ISO

[geonworks]

You're so much into Stockholm syndrome that you can't recognize the fact that the keyboard is a medium/ low quality product made in china, and that it hasn't been subjected to rigorous quality checks. All geon's products, as you can see on his discord, have very big machining marks. He posted himself those pictures and said that he can't improve the quality unless he moves production away from China. I'm reporting facts.

China is definitely a better quality. Im running CNC factories and work with many Korean companies. Anodizing, Sand blast, PVD, Painting, Plating, Packages, etc. Most of the companies that used to manufacture keyboards in SK have collapsed, and it is difficult to find a factory that makes keyboards now in SK. If I don't manufacture it in here, all keyboard-related factories will disappear forever. I hope you understand me as a producer.

Cleaned up the thread, leaving a couple of useful replies. Please keep discussion on-topic and keep the ****-posting to yourself.

In Geon we believe

in hoff we trust, in geon we believe

[Mr_BeastQuake]

I like my Frog. The 11 degree on this is something I’d like to try.

The 4 kg has me on the fence, 3.5kg SEMO like moving a gym weight around on the desk. I’m over brass, sounds like Geon got a plan for QC on the stainless. The board LOOKS good. Lotta money being spent recently.

[BUTTER KEYBOARDS]

I saw the PCB isn't included but will you be offering a PCB we can purchase separately?  Or what Hot-swappable PCB to you suggest we buy for this keyboard?

[IOVERCALLHISTIOCYTES]

There will be a pcb for sale at the time of GB, it is just included in the 440/460$ case purchase. See the table in the first post? In the middle it shows the 3 PCBs you can buy separate.

Gotcha thanks! I see them now under "4. ADD-ONs"

[Puddsy]

i'm pretty sure PCB price is not included, it says so in the GB post

[geonworks]

According to Korean law, if it is not certified separately, it is not allowed. Therefore, I cant sell product that include pcb for GB. You can order separately from the add-ons category. I'm sorry I made you uncomfortable

[geonworks]

There are 3 types of PCBs, FR-4 soldering, CEM-3 soldering, and hot-swappable available separately. All PCBs are designed by HINEYBUSH and manufacture in china
