1.) INTRODUCTION

About Kibou.
Kibou, 希望, is the Japanese noun for hope. It is a reflection of who we are: a bunch of hopefuls who believe that our passion for a better typing experience will allow us to make great products.

Why “Harbour”?
The keyboard’s name is a homage to Hong Kong - the place we grew up in. Historically, Hong Kong has long been an entrepτt between east and west - a place of trade, and, more importantly, a place where people of a common interest can gather. We hope Kibou will not only be the premier vendor for all things keyboard, but a community too.

4.) DESIGN
Approach.
Our design approach is straightforward: simple design and quality materials. We wanted to design a keyboard that we would want to use ourselves. From the mounting style to the typing angle, the keyboard is designed to deliver the best user experience possible.

Inspiration.
Hong Kong is home to more skyscrapers than any other city in the world. Our skyline is dotted with iconic buildings that helped author the aesthetic style of our keyboard. In particular, the textured layout on the sides was inspired by the BOC building. The numerous skyscrapers facing Victoria Harbour are characterised with smooth window surfaces supported by curtain walls and steel frames. Drawing inspiration from these visual elements, we decided to create a keyboard with a seamless design accompanied by a stainless steel weight.

(https://i.imgur.com/A373ef0.jpg) (https://i.imgur.com/m1NLK6H.jpg)


We also drew ideas from the community. The visual appeal of Gok’s 7V design (the weight in particular) was a concept we wanted to explore and build from.

Mounting Method & Materials.
Using both community feedback and anecdotal experience, we believe that the softer typing feel that the 2mm Poron foam as a Gasket provides is more comfortable.

Assembly.
Aside from the seamless design, we also designed Harbour with the intention of making your assembly process as user-friendly as possible. This includes self-aligning slots between the top and botton case.

Packaging.
Will be revealed in the future.

I really like the sides of the board, imo it's a really unique characteristic for the board as well as how the weight flows with it too! the universal plate for the ISO is a cool idea, GLWIC!!! :D

Thank you all for your support! We will look into different colour options, and we are on track to receive our first prototype by early April.

We understand that not having an ISO plate option may be a deal breaker for some, but we strongly believe that a fixed layout will be able to provide better sound. However, the PCB supports ISO layout and the plate files will be open sourced. If there is enough demand for ISO, we may consider adding it as an option.

I <3 HK, and this case profile is really cool. Would be fantastic if you could have a fixed ISO plate file so it saves time for us when we'll order our custom plates for it :)

yes we are considering an universal plate as an addon!

do you have a ballpark price for this lovely board?
also i suggest that you could try leaf spring gasket, and add more flex cut, for good typing feel :thumb:

I mean if you consider plate files, instead of universal you can do fixed layout, it's the same price :D

We are aiming to price this board below 400usd - pricing yet to be confirmed. Regarding the flex cuts, leaf springs and iso plate files, we are defo looking into adding these as they have been highly requested. We will probably release some more polls in the future - keep an eye out!

imho below 400$ is too cheap !? with pandemic still around, i dont know whether you can achieve a good quality product with that price ...
polished ss weight cost so much, so many SKUS
~500$ is still affordable for everyone, i think. at least for me lol
i just want a very good product, worth the price  :thumb:

Love the design, love the idea behind the keyboard. As someone who is from HK, I am very looking forward to owning one. Stainless steel is cool, but I would like to have the option of having a brass weight, just because brass looks like gold, and gold goes well with the idea of HK being the international finance center  :)

Really loving this! However, I would've loved to see more color options, especially something that draws the connection between the design and the inspiration. Maybe something blue to represent HK's harbour and the reflection of the sky from the BOC building?

Could the feet be changed into strip feet or circle bumpons? Not a huge fan of this style because it looks too much like a picture frame, and is distracting from the rest of the beautiful bottom.

Appreciate the hotswap support!

Sub 400 USD was nearing the limits of what I could afford, but good luck with the GB!

Hey all!

Sorry for the lack of recent updates. We have decided to order a final prototype to confirm all of our changes.

Changes include:

Front height: 18.5 -> 17
Changes in mounting points
Redesigned internals

We are targeting to get all the in stocks ready before Christmas.

Thanks for all the support

Excited to see the final revision; that back weight engraving looks great!

One question: I see some striation or striping on the weight's rear-facing slant (probably left by the machining process). Will that be present in the final build, or will that be polished out?

Definitely keeping an eye on this. My only question is are you guys going to take the 5,000HKD Digital Voucher. I would love to use it on this if possible.  This is assuming that the quarantine requirements are reasonable.
