Any chance this could come with polished steel weight?Probably will have a polish steel weight, but not sure how to pull it off again.
I will probably be interested in this since I have to miss x60
The price point of the x60 was a bit higher than what I'm comfortable with at this point, but whose to say in a few months. I assume this would cost a bit more just in the added material and machining
Im assuming you designed it around the WKL b.mini pcb? Add option for a milled polycarb bottom piece for the B.mini x2 rgb leds to shine!Correct, I'm not sure if I should get my own PCB developed (but I will be for the future). The polycarbonate bottom piece won't happen as it wouldn't match the top, but I'm not sure (yet).
I would like to se the bottom row layout possibilities @xondat with the blocker-option. Cant wrap my head around it really.(http://i.imgur.com/VV6xfxC.png)
If you ever come out with a 40% :DWell it would be the heaviest 40% yet...

i want polycarb bottom piece too for rgb underlight :p
I'm honestly not a fan of LEDs but I have to appeal to a wider target audience. I might create a form soon and get some info regarding lights etc.
Polycarbonate plates are something I should test, but I'm not sure I feel about them being at maximum 2.5mm thick.
I love xondats concept for custom keyboards. If you have a great idea, don't water it down to make it appealing to everyone but stick to your concept and make something special instead. Chunky aluminium keyboards just don't go well with RGB underlight. If you want light under your keyboard, get a light keyboard ;)I am working on a different series of boards which will incorporate LEDs much better than this, it's probably one of the reasons I want to keep this one pure.
Totally understand xondat and I would very much respect your choice of sticking with quality materials vs adding leds.See above :)) I agree with you though, diffusers are cool n all but I prefer the aesthetic of pure aluminium.
Im usually a white leds if any kind of guy.
Hate all that rgb gamer looking stuff popping up everywhere.
Pretty sure the plate isn't thicker then 2.5mm either and it's actually pretty rigid while still giving a slightly softer feel.
Pretty sure the plate itself would be strong enough but I'm concerned about the attachments points.
What do you think of this bit on the plates?Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/KerH3Kx.png)
that small section near the left alt seems a bit like it will break easilyI get what you mean but through personal experience it seems fine given the use. It's just over 1mm at the thinnest point.
What PCBs have you given thought to sourcing for this or is it too early on?Most likely winkeyless as I can't have my own made quick enough, but I will have my own made that will support this in the future.
I've been wanting a 75% board. I'll be watching this one.Never heard of that before... No, because the USB port would have to be on both sides to allow for that.
As an outside possibility, can the PCB be put in backwards to allow built-in negative tilt? If not, I'll just stick to putting the front up on a wrist rest as I've been doing.

Estimated time for GB? Q1 2017?Hopefully a small release soon, December.
I need to try my hand at 75% with this board. The X60 prototype looks very nice.
Just for confirmation, would the 1.25u 1.25u 1.25u 6.25u 1u 1u 1u 1u 1u 1u bottom row be possible with the un-blocked case upper half?

Is this the best thread to keep track of when you launch the GB? This is not one I want to miss. :thumb:Yeah this is the best place, I'll definitely be posting pictures of the prototype when I get it. Other projects will be posted in my thread in "Making Stuff Together", including X65.

Will the anodized aluminum plate be billet or cast aluminum? If you're still taking feedback/input I personally prefer billet.

Most likely laser/waterjet cut (or slightly less likely: milled plates). You do not, generally speaking, spend the capital to produce dies/moulds for components that are not produced by the 10000s of units. This is not something that your preference will make a difference, it's just basic manufacturing selection. Unless you're producing A LOT of components, it's never going to be made by casting.

Thanks for the info. I dug into this a little more and learned a few more things. I think I was confused on terminology but what I was ultimately getting at was the finished texture and the way the plate feels. Like for example on my WhiteFox, the body of the keyboard and those generic cone feet sold all the time on Massdrop that came with it have different textures. Even the plate on my RS84 has a unique texture - I guess I'm not quite really sure what to call it or what ultimately makes a difference in each of those pieces of aluminum having different finished textures.
Aluminium is sandblasted then anodised. Stainless steel plates are brushed. Brass and stainless steel weights are polished. Carbon fibre is coated in a clear protective layer.
Any idea what the most popular color configuration was on the x60?Not sure about combination, but Dark Gray cases were the most popular and Stainless Steel/Red plates tied.
X65 will come before X75, just confirming some information before I officially start a thread or something.

Bumping this due to the recent amounts of 65% keyboards. It would make no sense to release another 65%, therefore it is likely this will come first. I'm thinking March 1st for now. All information here is up to date as of today.

I am rather new into the game, but the distribution doesn't seem right to me.
Do you have any other good boards with top mounted plate? Have you tried comparing yours to any of those?
I would suggest you to get one if you don't have any, or try if you haven't.

Incredibly condescending tone aside, I assume you're worried about the bending moment around the outer corners of the plate when switches are pressed, which is unfounded... Perhaps you should do some homework about how plate/PCB are constructed. You've got rows of switches which clip into the plate at the top and is constrained by the PCB at the bottom via solder joints. In essence, this acts more like a classical example of a honeycomb cored sandwich panels, which displaces the main bending moment carriers (top and bottom plate) away from the neutral axis, increasing the 2nd moment of area and thus improving bending stiffness. If you've handled a fully constructed PCB/plate assembly, you will know that flexing of the assembly when you press on a key is not really an issue, whether or not you have the tip fully supported.
In this particular case, the mounting points essentially acts as dividers, so the idealised load case when you press on a key at the corners is less like a free-edge cantilever, and more like a see-saw (forgot the tecnical term), with the neighbouring 'bays' sharing the loading.
If you see an actual issue with the design, go ahead and point it out directly, instead of beating around the bush in a condescending and impolite tone. You're just being counterproductive, and thus people will end up ignoring you, dismissing whatever you say as crazy rambling of bumbling idiot. If you see a problem with the plate pictured, say what's wrong and have a rational argument to back it up. In other words, don't be a ****.
My choice of words are limited. Sorry if I'd sounded rude. If anyone of you happen to have an orion, just try to remove a screw at one of the corner.

Prototype will turn up during mid February, after building/testing I'll drop a preorder soon after.
First Edition:
- Any Anodizing Color
First Edition ($350):General Release ($300):
- Any Anodizing Color
- Brass Or Stainless Steel Weight with Engraving & Individual Numbering
- Aluminium, Stainless Steel, Brass, Polycarbonate or Carbon Fiber Plate
- Limited to 30
- Black, Dark Gray, Silver, or Red Anodizing
- Brass Weight with Engraving
- Aluminium or Stainless Steel Plate
- How many General Release boards can we expect to be available?
- Will the stainless steel weight and plate be base kit options for these as well?
Great news! Price drop is unexpected but welcome :) I am so excited for this keyboard! Will the first edition be FCFS?
Awesome news.I've never limited it to 1 board per person, and I never will. :p
Will orders be Limited to 1 board per person again this time?
This is extremely tempting.
Orange anodization is an option?
I wonder how orange anodized case + brass plate would look.Cannot comment as of yet. Receiving X60 plates in all materials at the same time as this prototype (April 13th).
Also, how would you describe brass plate in terms of rigidity? More rigid than Stainless Steel or Carbon Fiber?
Cannot comment as of yet..
Orange + Brass here (https://www.instagram.com/p/BPvDYMiBIXO/?taken-by=mekaniskco).
The bad news is that this will start later due to X60 delays. X75 won't open until X60 has been delivered to me.

Hi xon. How much later are you guessing since March 1st has come and gone? I really don't want to miss this one.
Do you happen to have examples of the anodizing colors? When I got my last case anodized they had a book of swatches like this: http://imgur.com/MmytRPQ Anything you could share would be greatly appreciated since 'any color' is just a bit nebulous. :D Thanks!
The prototype finally enters production tomorrow (along with some other stuff), which means they should it should be here on the 30th of April. I'll be building it straight away and then (fingers crossed) setting a date for the beginning of the group buy! Here are two screenshots of the prototype spec case, with the engraving.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/37oFtLJ.png)Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/Qgu4k00.png)
It really should happen this time, this is the first project I started working on (and why I started in the first place, back in June last year). Kinda annoying how long its taken, but I don't see any obstacles in the way now.
Looks like the price went a little further down :)
Standard edition now seems to be limited to 100, however.
That's sexy, I'm going to have to jump in on this one.
Is there a possibility of bringing the brass back plate (ANSI) to the standard edition? I'm willing to go in on a first edition (price isn't an issue), but if someone out there can appreciate the color options (planned on a dark grey myself) and exclusive serial number more then I could I can take a seat for the standard edition.
Side Note: a quick search didn't seem to bring up anything, but is the PCB compatible with the commonly sold Holtite bits for hot-swap modding?
Edit: looks like a tight fit, but should work with Holtite mod
What does noxary mean exactly?
Well I needed something to separate xondat from the work I do, because having a company and user called xondat would end up being confusing. Criteria was really a few things:After a few days of just screwing around with names, I came up with Noxary combining:
- Easy to pronounce from reading, and easy to write from hearing
- 6 letters
- Must relate closely to xondat
- Available domains/not used before
- Must look nice (NOXARY, Noxary, noxary)
So putting the two together met the criteria, creating Noxary on the 9th of September last year.
- xondat backwards is tadnox, NOX from that
- Rotary (watches), thought it sounded nice, ARY from that
Looks like the price went a little further down :)
Standard edition now seems to be limited to 100, however.
I need to limit how many I should be shipping, but I don't really expect to hit 100 Standards anyway.

If I take the brass plate to the Standard X75, I have to take the others too so it probably won't happen. The First Editions are supposed to be special.

I don't see any mention, but do you have the full case dimensions finalized? I'm trying to gauge final switch height since I like it as low as it can get with micro-switches; just makes m+k usage more comfortable, lol.
Edit: question about the PCB; does customization include the ability to set debounce? I've been searching and can't find too much.

Pretty sure most enthusiast PCBs follow Cherry Corp's recommended debounce time of 5ms. I think TMK and QMK allows you to set a custom debounce time, but 5ms is the official spec. Not sure what your plans are, but normally debounce is not something people tinker with when they build their keyboards.

Edit: question about the PCB; does customization include the ability to set debounce? I've been searching and can't find too much.
The feet will add around 1.7mm, but from the lowest point of the keyboard to the top of the switch plate it's 12.2762mm, and the case height on the front edge is 19.5696mm.
I've asked my PCB guy about the debounce, as I personally have no idea. Edit: it's a software thing, so if the timing is right, I can provide a QMK PCB that you can fiddle with.
Excited to see the proto built, xon.

Me too.
Prototype should be built with a PCB designed specifically for this board. This means, if all goes well, that the case & PCB will be $300. Got to order prototypes without soldered components, then another prototype batch with soldered components, and then we'd be ready. It shouldn't delay anything due to the quick turnaround of PCB production.

$300 is REAL GOOD
If the PCB that it comes with is SMD presoldered, I might get in on this...
depends on what happens with pricing on Moon
Excited to see the proto built, xon.
Me too.
Prototype should be built with a PCB designed specifically for this board. This means, if all goes well, that the case & PCB will be $300.

SMDs?
As far as I know, the only soldering that should be required would be switches, and in switch LEDs if you want.

Now I'm even more excited. Will color options be the same on the plates as the PCBs?
This looks good. I'm interested. Hopefully I can get one.
EDIT: For an uneducated like me, what exactly is "Any Anodizing Color"? Is there a specific chart somewhere?
If there's an option for 1.25u on the right portion of bottom-row mods, that would be great.
I'd love to see those samples. Do you think there will be different tones of colors, say light blue/blue, light grey/grey/darkgrey, etc

Love the layout options. Will polycarb plates be available with the regular editions if one misses out on the first release editions and will there be an option to choose between plate mount and pcb mount stabs?
- 8 weeks from payment to shipping.

Pretty quick!
If you ever do future rounds of this or when you do your 65% board I would love to see split spacebar support.
Would love to see a 65% after this groupbuy
I'd love too see a split board bb <3
full backlighting support?
assuming yes but just wanna make sure

Backlighting as in in switch LEDs? Yeah. There aren't any LEDs on the bottom of the PCB as it'd be completely useless.
Last night didn't go so well. For some unknown reason, the parts aren't done yet. I'm sorry that I have to bring more disappointment here.Quote[2:05:08 AM] (cnc machining): they haven't been finished,still need several days

[2:48:35 AM] Anthony: are you able to give a date for shipment at all?
[2:51:05 AM] (cnc machining): we will ship the all the keyboards after balance received.is 12th May ok for you
[2:51:39 AM] Anthony: the sooner the better
[2:51:50 AM] Anthony: if that is as soon, then yes that's ok
[2:52:28 AM] (cnc machining): i also hope we can ship them to you as soon as possible
This one really messes with me - I thought it was the end of production. I should receive them around May 15/16 now.

X75 is in that shipment. Pending no further delays, I'm aiming to release on May 18th now (such a specific date as it'd be my birthday).
I might have missed this, but will your PCB for the X75 have split spacebar support?
If we manage to get in the First Edition, how long will we have to decide / confirm the colour choice? Or will it need to be stated upon ordering?
Very interested in this, I've just finished an alu / acrylic 75% and love the layout - this could be the start of an end game board.
P.S. shipping from the UK? Sorry if you've already mentioned..
Have you got some color samples? I would like to see some different kinds of grey to be certain what to choose if I buy one.
And when is it estimated to ship?
Will the time the GB goes live be announced a few hours before?
No update yet. I'll post here when I know something.
It's worth noting this so you're aware of my state: I was at the arena attack on Monday and the emotions of it all are catching up. If I'm not communicating very well, it's because my head is all over the place. If I'm modding switches because it's therapeutic, then I will be.

I have a tracking number, but it doesn't work. According to the manu who talked to the courier, the tracking will work once it reaches the Netherlands, which should be any day now as its 6-8 days (and was picked up Friday). I'm just waiting around for proof that they're on the way.
Pending no delays, looking to start next Wednesday :-* Also First Edition will be renamed, I'll figure that out between now and then.

Are all of the brass weights in the bottom engraves or are there some which are polished without any engravings?

Awesome! Has there been clarification on what entails "any anodizing color"? Is there a color code chart? Also, what's the chance of adding blue or green to the standard edition?
Will the time the GB goes live be announced a few hours before?
Yeah, I'll post the GB thread and then have it start at a set time after approval.

I'm new to geekhack group buys. So I assume you'll post a separate GB thread and then update this one as an announcement?
