[IC] Chimera65 - 65% Gasket mounted Keyboard from CannonKeys [GB Final Info!]

[HouseOfKeebs]

How does the e-coating compare to anodizing and cerakoting in terms of feel?

[Nevermore012]

hey @upas, could i have a question, what different between isolation gasket mount and isolation sandswich mount? thanks

To me, isolation sandwich mount is a more specific description for isolation gasket mount.
Basically, the gasket provides the isolation. Sandwich describes how its implemented.

For example, someone could make the case that burger mount, which uses O rings to isolate a top-mounted plate is a form of isolation gasket mount.

got cha, count me in the GB

I'm assuming plate files we available like with your past projects? Definitely looking forward to this

Yes they will!

[GPrix]

So, upas, I’ll have to be pretty fast to check out both special editions at the same time, huh? 😅

[persocom]

Got an alert set up for this now! hoping to catch an e-white

[upas]

After some discussion in my discord, I am considering moving the SE FCFS sale 30 min - 1 hour before the rest of the sale.
The reason is it could allow for people to try for an SE unit, and then try for an E-white unit later if they miss out on the SE unit.

I'll continue to consider this - I can't really see any downsides but please let me know!

[Nevermore012]

that's fair Upas, but I think raffle is also a option, you can open the form with limit time, and raffle before open the GB.

Will there be any more photos? Still deciding to buy or not :/

Could you possibly create a render with which board you believe would look best with Olivia, given that it is re-releasing soon?

I think the Olivia looks pretty similar to gmk Cafe which is in the white and brass render. I think the white and brass boards would look really good with cafe and Olivia

Good point. I looked at the renders again and they look phenomenal!

I tried to come up with a better way to run the Special Edition - unfortunately I won't have time to finish the system, so it's official:

The SPECIAL EDITION FCFS sale will start at 9am EST on Nov 23rd.
E WHITE and NORMAL Edition FCFS sale starts at 10am EST on Nov 23rd.

That white and gold is beautiful! Hopefully I get lucky on the sale

Do the prices above include shipping?

[DukeEsquire]

Do the prices above include shipping?

I can't imagine why they would since people live all around the world.

[upas]

They do not

[octix]

Cannot wait!

Group buy topic is live, so I'm locking this one!
