Title: [GB] Klippe R3 Pre-Order

(https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1347/2157/products/Klippe_2019_rev.2_2019-Jul-28_07-38-07PM-000_CustomizedView697823439_png_alpha_1800x1800.png?v=1564348535)

Klippe is one of the best high end affordable keyboard kits on the market. With the most improved tray mount screw placement, machined stabilising points, PCB compability, fine tuned since 2017 for each revision, and originally based on the Fjell mounting. The case alone weighs over 1kg, which is up to a 40% increase compared to keyboard cases in the same price range. And the weight is not only just an added heft, it is distributed in the case walls to make the case pingless and promotes the switch feel. A combination of the mounting, weight and aluminium amount is why so many people say the Klippe and Fjell sound so great, and so different from other tray mount cases.

Now, for the first time, available as a kit ($199) & you only need to add:

Stabilisers
Switches
Keycaps

You can buy the case alone for $120, and the other parts for a good price as well.

Updates from the second design(rev. 2(Klippe 2019) to rev.3):

1mm height adjustment, slightly heavier.
USB hole adjustments, 1mm wider to the left for better hot swap compability
Better USB C compability
Two Optional Mouning Points, same as Fjell Round 4
New colors.

Shipping estimated october - november 2019

Post by: ConfuseBill on Thu, 24 October 2019, 03:44:58: Hi LeandreN,

Is the PCB compatible for bottom right arrow key?
Cause i notice the bottom right plate has universal holes. If yes, is the Right shift ready for 1.75u?

Arrow keys on a 60% is not a standard feature and not a feature on this PCB.

The right shift can be split yes, that is part of the HHKB layout.

Have a nice day :)

LeandreN,
Thanks for the detail info
Meaning, if i want arrow keys, i just need to source different PCB.
I think this run with reduced and affordable price will attract more people. Good luck.
Cheers

There will probably be a few extras, but a US vendor might have more available, and before.
