Interest Check post

Hello, I'm Chanmin Kang. We are making a keyboard in Korea.
We designed and manufactured some keyboards, but we are not very well known abroad.
We are pleased to introduce KKINGKONG 660. This keyboard is all made in Korea for precision and quality.

This time, we brought a simple and slim design keyboard.
In line with the slim concept, we have reduced the number of parts and increased the choice of case color and plate material.
This relatively small keyboard over the TKL has advantages in good space utilization and portability.
We hope you like it.

Opportunity to get it quickly[/s]




Before we started GB, we completed some keyboards.
Among the keyboards that have the Anodizing option selected, 20 of the keyboards that have been paid first will be sent first on July 1.

Amount error in Form was fixed.

Cerakote option is +$35 equal to top and bottom. Due to a typographical error that was only in the form


This was an error only in the order form, so $35 was normally requested for the invoice.

We apologize for any inconvenience. Please contact us by e-mail to modify, cancel or refund your order.

Approved

[logo4poop]

looks nice, but why aren't you waiting until DGL tkl to be shipped?

[Carlobv]

Would it be possible to buy the pink kit in the pics to ship in July?  I can pay now.

[Mcnos]

Is there a weight? I see a placement on the back of the beige board

Also is the beige in the photos the cerakote option?

The beige board appears to be a different keyboard.

[ubmit]

Could you confirm which type of aluminum this is? 606X is too vague

Also, why the left blocker is so thin?

[beerafffe1]

Any sample of the metal green color option?

[bobaboy]

I am interested in buying but I would like to see what the color options look like. Can you post a picture of all the different color options?

[jiggyboybrian]

is the purple case color seen in the picture of the completed cases how it is going to look?

[marshskitow]

It's a really good project, congrat's guys.

But i feel it miss picture for all the colors. With the name on it.
I'm colorblind and it's kinda hard to choose

I'll see.

[Jyobah]

looks great, why no black cerakote for the top only the bottom?

[frostfiree]

The right and left shift are the same size right?

[rooski15]

Looks fantastic. I'd like to order, but I don't really see an estimated timeline, just a group-buy window. What's the expected production time?

I believe in the form, it says shipping around September.

Ahh, thank you.

I love the board design over all, i'm a sucker for 660 layouts.
And I love the fact that it's super clean and nothing too fancy.

That said, this GB is lacking a lot of pictures, additional info, and typing test videos that showcase various popular switches at this time.

- Why is there no pictures of the bottom?
- Does this have a bottom weight? There is no mention of one, but I see a picture with the bottom weight cutout.
- How come there aren't more typing tests, more tests with various different switches would help this GB.

Again, I love this clean design. And sincerely hope this does well!!
More GB runners the better, at a time where custom keyboard demand is so high definitely helps this community.
I just hope there were more pictures, typing tests, and information regarding the bottom weight

Agree. Would be nice to have all the color samples before the GB ends.

[ullr]

I really hate to add another request to this thread, but I'd like to see a photo of one with blockers with keycaps on

Keyboard looks great, I'm strongly considering joining.

EDIT: man it's a shame that the cerakote is so much more expensive

[Tree_]

Is there an example of the purple ano?

I'm interested in the board and specifically mentioned purple on the IC form. I'm looking to match it with Laser or VoC and am hoping for a darker purple and not a more pink-purple.

[dRnRcRr]

Looks really clean.

[Scottw]

Can you post a picture of the PCB?

You mentioned LED indicators. Where would these be visible on the case?

Thanks!

[chanmin kang]

Pink is a cerakote. It will be shipped in September.

[chanmin kang]

Any sample of the metal green color option?

[chanmin kang]

is the purple case color seen in the picture of the completed cases how it is going to look?

Blue and purple are new colors added by GB since IC.
We are sorry that we cannot show you about this color yet. We will update soon.

[chanmin kang]

Could you confirm which type of aluminum this is? 606X is too vague

Also, why the left blocker is so thin?

It is exactly AL6061.

The blocker of WKL is equal to 0.25u on both sides.

[chanmin kang]

It's a really good project, congrat's guys.

But i feel it miss picture for all the colors. With the name on it.

I'll see.

We are sorry for our lack of consideration. We offer 17 color options above and below. There were so many that we couldn't work with all the keyboards we had in different colors.

We will create a reference image through image editing. However, this will take some time.

[chanmin kang]

looks great, why no black cerakote for the top only the bottom?

Sorry. It was our mistake.
Currently selectable. If you fill out the form, you can edit it.

Thanks!

The LED on the capslock switch acts as an indicator.

Thank you! and can you also take some pictures of the bottom as well?
And does it have an option for a weight at the bottom?

[MechGroupBuys]

Hi,

The date on the google form says it is ending June 15th. But your GH thread says it is ending June 9th. Could you please clarify?

[delrn]

Quick question, which shipping company are you going to use? (to Germany in particular if that matters)
Thanks!

[Vaudevi77ain]

Hi, is there a sample of the rose gold?

[paulgali]

Are there images of the plate design and mounting points?

[chanmin kang]

Hi,

The date on the google form says it is ending June 15th. But your GH thread says it is ending June 9th. Could you please clarify?

Sorry. The dates in the draft of the GB post were mixed incorrectly. It has been fixed now.

For the first 20 invoices paid, does it matter what options are chosen? Or will it always be fulfilled on July 1, as long it's paid?

Anodizing case, aluminum or brass plate

PC and carbon fibre plates are not pre-prepared as options added after IC.

Ah darn, I just paid my invoice. Can I change my options? I chose anodizing because the price for cerakote was a bit too high before.

Edit: I'm bad at reading, email incoming

[dc_in_sf]

I'm a bit confused on my invoice, there is a line item for an extra top case

660 Extra Top Case
+ Extra top case
1   $85.00   $85.00

Which I didn't order, and AFAICT there is no there is no extra top case option anyway.

[TheHun]

I placed an order already, but was wondering if there is a black cerakote option?

[rooski15]

Isn't there a black cerakote option in the form?

[TheHun]

Hmm. My wrong. I did not see it yesterday. Any chance I could change my order and make it cerakote in black?

If you have not received an invoice, you should be able to modify the form. If you have, I'd send them an email (listed in GB thread)

[yohannes]

Hi! Can you post a sample color for orange gold?

[Pauzzz]

What does the back look like?

[frostfiree]

Hi! Can you post a sample color for orange gold?

He is working on getting samples for that color. It wasn't added until after the IC post.
