[IC]Revo HHKB layout kit

[smittysteve]

Looking forward to this buy, though I'll have to convince myself I need another board. Oh wait... that won't be an issue.

NEED another board...? Blasphemy. You *always* need another board, right? It's the next one that may be the last one. Something like that.

[rabbitfire]

Hope this will go to GB soon!

[RevoTeam]

would buy for sure.

Ditto. Any thoughts at timing for GB opening, Revo? After Dr. D wraps up...?

Yes,i'd prefer doing this after i ship out Dr.D...

Agreed, it's more a matter of - well I have an HHKB already... Then the logical person in me says... well yeah, but it's not MX.

Oh well. I guess I'll just have to buy another

A little question about the construction of this keyboard.

Will this be a sandwich construction (Top case & bottom case) ?

And how will the Plate/PCB be fixed to the case? Is the plate screwed into the case or fixed between the top/bottom case or is the PCB screwed into the case bottom?

From what I understand, it's a two part case design with the pcb attached to the bottom of the case.

Therefore pretty much every 60% pcb aswell as a standard plate should work without the need for blocker cutouts etc.

drop in md yes?

[DALExSNAIL]

drop in md yes?

If you mean massdrop, then I hope not.

[bbmathlvr]

This is a sexy case! I would love to buy an aftermarket case like this for my HHKB, but cannot really justify another MX build atm.

[potatobot]

drop in md yes?

If you mean massdrop, then I hope not.

Why not? I was assuming it would because they had that numpad sale on MD.

anyways, still want to buy this regardless

I think hes saying he'd prefer it not ran through MD because it seems stuff ran through there go into a fairly long queue and they are sometimes a bit of a hassle to order from.

[lishi]

So are the only colors for this rose gold and silver? I was hoping for a space grey that matches the new macbook pros too

On page 1 Revo says there will be silver, titanium (grey), and pink (not rose gold). On page 4 Revo says black is in, too.

Oh cool, must have missed it! thanks for the info

[MMKB]

Goodness! Would be my end game.

But just like JD45, the case should taper a little bit to avoid looking heavy at the front.

Pasting Rama's design below. Can be a good example. Hope he doesn't mind. 

[ArchDill]

 Is there a price range for this yet?

Also, will we be able to just buy the case? I have an HHKB layout and am looking for a new case.

haha good one

Revo numpad on MD was like, $159. Dr. D over here on GH was only $260.

I am also curious as to how the pricing is going to look on this one though.

don't know what you are referring to saying "taper" but if you're referring to the chamfer in ramas design I hope revo doesn't do this as it looks very clean and simple right now.

one month has past, still no news   

[DALExSNAIL]

They are dealing with 2 other group buys, I'm sure we will have an update soon-ish

[ArchDill]

I may have to sell my Artisan collection so I can get in on this..

[RevoTeam]

Sorry guys, i've been busy dealing with the anode factory this month. It has been shut down by government because of the serious environmental problem.
Almost every anode factory have been shut down to make our air a little bit better.This means delay for all our projects.
However it will be up and running within this week so everything will be fine and ill start this GB as soon as everything back to normal.
Thanks

[menuhin]

Gosh... the world has outsourced their pollution and child labor problem and inhumane long working hours to China.
This is how China gets strong, but I am really sorry for the cost.

Hope the environmental standard can be improved and the factories can still meet up (not with the bribing method) soon.

Any chance you can offer a frosted polycarbonate or acrylic base to show off the underglow of the b.fake pcbs? I think that would be a nice way to do it without ruining the case's clean lines.

what i am trying to do is add one layer. You can chose to use it or not.This way is much cheaper.The reason why i want to add one layer is i don't want to waste the pcb's under light.If i am doing a PC or Acrylic bottom case it would change the whole design,and that's not what i wanna do. but thank you for your advise.

That makes sense. This will be great. I'm excited for the GB. I hope you will give us some warning about when the GB will be, and I hope you will post in this thread as well to let us know. I will be very sad if I miss out!

Stainless steel plate? If not will there be more rounds of this kit with stainless steel plate?

Pretty sure it has universal plate support as it looks like a tray mount case. More pics and a build log for the pink revo hhkb can be found here: https://bbs.wstx.com/thread-699962-1-1.html


Worst case is you have to source a separate SS plate elsewhere, but that should be easy enough

I expected universal plates to work aswell since it's tray style.
However Buildlog you linked shows an acrylic plate with cutouts actually.

Are the Plate cutouts required?
And on a side note, will those smexy acrylic plates be available in the gb? <3<3

That link is interesting, the case looks pretty good in the photos. I've just spent half an hour reading other posts on that site using Google Translate...  )

You're the best!  I have the three previously shown pictures of the pink board on my phone in a gallery that I look at all the time.  Now I can add all of these to the gallery!

I'd buy more than one; for the HHKB, regular 60%'s, etc.!

The one you see in that wstx thread is made of PC. they are quite different with acrylic. Acrylic is no good. I'll think about it,my friend.

I never do SS plate. I always use Alu plate. Maybe you can a SS plate yourself or don't use any plate.LOL

holy cow, this is outstanding. Very interested.

Frosted PC plates would be amazing! Super silent and soft!

Quoted for truth! Polycarbonate plates and aluminum plates! <3

But please let us buy multiple plates if you're able to provide polycarbonate plates!
