I agree! Lunar is a nice set and would complement the board

Unfortunately, I don't have a render with GMK Umbra, but the colors look like they would look very nice on this board!

That’s fine. I think GMK Nord would look good on this too.

WK is supported right?

ISO is enabled on the PCB, but you'd have to make your own plate for it. I will be releasing ISO plate files though.

This board is WKL only, as I personally prefer the aesthetic. Hope you understand

Here's a quick typing test I did today, on the polycarbonate plate with Retooled Cherry MX Blacks. They are filmed, lubed with 3204 and spring swapped to TX 65g. Sorry for the horrific camera quality, the audio should be fine, and is unedited off a Blue Yeti USB microphone.

This is the final reminder I'll be posting here! Thanks all for all your support throughout this journey - it really does mean a lot to me!

Thank you all for the amazing support! We sold all boards without about 3 minutes, which is absolutely insane.

If anyone has any questions about their orders, please send an email to support@eniigmakeyboards.com and i'll try to get back to you as soon as possible. Keep in mind that I'm overloaded with emails right now, so it might take me some time to get through them all.

I am speechless at the interest for this board, and I appreciate all of you!

Hi everyone! If you're a part of the preorder, you should've gotten an email explaining what updates to expect, but I will be posting an update every other Saturday, regardless of whether there is news to share, or not. We will also be sending emails to all group buy participants, and posting the latest updates on the 'Updates' section of our website (https://eniigmakeyboards.com/blogs/updates). Since it has officially been two weeks since the preorder, here is the first update!

Infinitum Update 5/30

Everything has been paid for, and manufacturing should start very soon! We are still on target for a late September delivery.

We'll be in touch over the next few months! Stay safe!

Update 6/27

Hey everyone! Update time!

Manufacturing is now well underway! Our manufacturing partners in China are currently celebrating the Dragon Boat Festival, but they will resume production this week. The aluminum parts are currently being machined, and the aluminum plates have already finished! At this point, we are slightly ahead of schedule!

Stay tuned for some more surprises and goodies that will be bundled with this board!

Stay safe everyone! We'll be back with another update in two weeks.

eniigma · « **Reply #34 on:** Sat, 11 July 2020, 18:11:15 »

Update 7/11

Hi everyone! Time for another update!

There isn't much to report this week, other than the fact that manufacturing is well underway. We hope to have more substantial updates in the next few weeks, but in the meanwhile, stay safe!

We'll be in touch!

eniigma · « **Reply #35 on:** Sat, 25 July 2020, 13:32:02 »

Update 7/25

Hi everyone! It's that time again!

Machining is slowly but surely wrapping up! We expect that it'll finish by late this week, or early next week! After that, the parts will undergo anodizing, and a lengthy quality control process! The PCBs and daughterboards have completed production, and are en route to us now!

Stay safe everyone!

eniigma · « **Reply #36 on:** Sat, 08 August 2020, 18:45:21 »

Update 8/8

Hi everyone! We have an extra exciting update this week

Machining is now complete! We expect the boards to begin the anodization process this week, and ship from the factory soon thereafter!

Also - we are ready to reveal the packaging for Infinitum! Each board will come packaged with it's own custom hard carrying case, with CNC'd foam! We hope that this addition helps our customers store their keyboards more safely and efficiently.

Also - now is the time to make any address changes, as we plan on shipping relatively soon! Please send us an email at support@eniigmakeyboards.com for any address changes.

Thanks everyone!

Update 8/22

Hi everyone! It's time for another update.

Unfortunately, today's update isn't as cheery as the last one. All the machined parts have been polished and prepared for anodizing, but we've run into some hurdles with that process.

Anodizing is a very painstaking process, and minor changes in environment can result in drastic changes in the final product. While doing some initial tests on the anodizing bath, we weren't happy with the quality of the final result, and so we've put the anodizing on hold while we can assess the problem and put a solution into place.

While this delays getting the boards into your hands, we aren't comfortable rushing these boards and sacrificing quality. We apologize for these delays, and we hope for your understanding.

As always, stay safe everyone, and we'll be in touch!

eniigma · « **Reply #39 on:** Sat, 05 September 2020, 19:22:59 »

Update 9/5

Hi everyone! It's time for another update.

Good news everyone! Boards are now anodizing! We managed to fix the issues we faced earlier with some slight modifications, and after several rounds of color matching, we finally approved the boards for anode this past week! We're excited to finally start wrapping things up, and thank you to everyone for your patience.

Again, another reminder to email us to update your shipping address if you need to. Our email address is support@eniigmakeyboards.com.

Stay safe everyone, and we'll be in touch!

eniigma · « **Reply #40 on:** Sun, 20 September 2020, 08:27:28 »

Update 9/20

Hi everyone! It's time for another update.

The boards finished anodizing, and started the QC process this past Wednesday! However, there are a good number of units that need to be re-anodized, so we want to take out time to make sure that all the boards meet our standards. We apologize for these delays, and we hope you understand.

Another reminder to email us to update your shipping address if you need to! Our email address is support@eniigmakeyboards.com.

As always, stay safe everyone, and we'll be in touch!

eniigma · « **Reply #41 on:** Sat, 03 October 2020, 11:05:59 »

Update 10/3

Hi everyone! It's time for another update.

All of the units that needed to be reanodized or didn't pass QC have been repolished/sandblasted and are now ready to be reanodized. We expect to hear back on whether those are successful within the next couple of weeks.

Our factory is also closed for the Mid-Autumn festival, so things will be on hold during that time. We realize that at this time, we have missed our promised delivery date, and we sincerely apologize for that. We firmly believe that shipping quality products is more important than rushing to meet deadlines, so rest assured, we will do our best to make sure that all of you are happy with your boards.

As always, stay safe everyone, and we'll be in touch!

eniigma · « **Reply #42 on:** Sat, 17 October 2020, 13:37:37 »

Update 10/17

Hi everyone! It's time for another update.

We counted up the number of boards we had that passed reanodizing, and it is enough to fulfill the group buy orders! We began final assembly this week, and there will be a final round of quality control before the boards are shipped out.

At this stage, we'd be remiss if we didn't make sure that all the boards are up to our standards before shipping it out, so we will have a production sample shipped out to us early next week to verify everything before the final shipment is sent.

We have also decided to scrap the boards that did not pass reanodizing, and so we will be remaking those units. This means that the extras sale will be delayed to late Q4, possibly Q1 2021. Stay tuned for more updates on those.

As always, stay safe everyone, and we'll be in touch!

eniigma · « **Reply #43 on:** Sat, 31 October 2020, 21:45:53 »

Update 10/31

Hi everyone! We have an exciting update this week!

We took delivery of the production sample, and everything looks good! We are now just waiting to get the final confirmation from the factory that we are all good to ship things out, and we expect the shipment to be sent out sometime next week.

As always, stay safe everyone, and we'll be in touch!

eniigma · « **Reply #44 on:** Sat, 14 November 2020, 11:58:47 »

Hi everyone! We're in the final stretch now!

The boards have been shipped to us, and we expect to receive them either late this week or early next!

This is your LAST CHANCE to change your shipping address! There is a high chance that by the next update, we will have started shipping boards, so we are putting a deadline in place to change your shipping address. Please send in all your address changes by replying to your original order confirmation email by next Saturday, 11/21.

Thanks everyone, and we look forward to getting these boards out to you guys!

Update 11/23

Hi all, an extra special out-of-schedule update today!

We received the boards late last week, and all orders without extra plates will be going out today! We will take delivery of those extra plates today, and those orders should go out later this week!

A date for extras will be announced once we ship out all the group buy orders.

We want to thank you all for sticking with us throughout this journey, and we hope you enjoy your boards! Make sure to post pictures of your boards and tag us on Instagram when you do!

Final Update/Extras Announcement

Hi everyone! As of this week, all units for Infinitum have been shipped out! We hope everyone enjoys their boards, and we're excited to finally reveal more info about the extras sale. The date for the extras sale will be December 5th, 2020, and 9AM EST.

We have around 20 boards up for grabs, which will be sold on our website via FCFS.

Pricing is as follows: $635 for B-stock unit and $685 for A-stock.

Extra PCBs and plates will be listed at a later date.

We'll send out another reminder before the extras sale, but in the meanwhile, stay safe and we hope to see you all then!

brianjking · « **Reply #48 on:** Mon, 14 December 2020, 21:40:52 »

Does the STOCK plate & PCB support the following? I didn't see any layouts shown anywhere in this thread or the IC.

Split Backspace
Control on R3 (prefer stepped control)
split right shift

Also, how to program? VIA? QMK?

tex_live_utility · « **Reply #49 on:** Tue, 15 December 2020, 11:17:00 »

Very interested to see how the plate mounting design turns out in practice. Looking forward to some build videos and typing tests!
