Can the left shift be split to allow UK ISO 1.25 SHift and 1 |\   ?

He has said previously that ISO would probably be included

Not.probably. It's being done

[OnNitrous]

this board looks awesome.

[SMOKEY]

I need this in a blue board, yellow accent colorway for obvious reasons!
Or I will do it myself!

That is good, if possible please amend the layout diagram to show this detail.

I'll be updating that when I get the chance, missed it in the diagram. Thanks.

[Contrakey]

Nice seeing something really unique, would love to see this style in other form factors later down the line.

[Jtengo]

My wallet is not going to be happy.

[ookey]

Looks really good, first 'different' board that actually looks good

Small update on the blackout version of BOX. The renderings have been uploaded in the render album. It will feature an anodized black aluminum body paired with polished black PVD stainless steel accents.

[Surefoot]

I suppose you will provide plate files after the GB is done ?

Yes that is the current plan.

[paulgali]

Kinda hot, with the separation. I'm keeping an eye on this

[juusu]

That all-black version is hot!

[kumori]

cannot wait for this board, looks so sick...

[musdem]

This board looks amazing in white w/ black accents, I can't wait to pick one up. Though my one suggestion would be to add a Canadian vendor to the vendor list (if at all possible), it's so insanely expensive to ship from the states.

[RickVigorous]

This is gorgeous, very striking. ISO in the pcb means I'm in - consider this another vote for a matching plate

[menuhin]

This one's checking almost all the boxes 

[Cubic // esc lab]

I don't think how many people realize or fully appreciate how much work went into this IC. The rendering, the product positioning, the message, the design thoughts, and everything. While this isn't my style for boards, but man, respect.

A few ICs give me this feeling of completeness, and they're this one, GMK Maestro, and GMK Stealth.

[Havattack]

This is hands down (for me) that absolute best convergence of looks and practicality i have ever seen in a key board layout. (I still think HHKB look the best, but it's just not practical for me)

[Current Keyboards]

This is incredible. Really curious how you manufactured the accent piece going over everything?

[dks]

Thanks! The accent pieces is not one piece, but actually multiple pieces screwed into the case in a particular order to create the structural frame. This kit-of-parts diagram we posted on Instagram illustrates the separate pieces if you want to see more.

[kohalified]

Would you consider any other colorways?

[dks]

Would you consider any other colorways?

No, the colors are most likely final.

[RtS_Clack]

goddamn, i'm not a big fan of stainless steel, but the way it's done on this board is ｎｉｃｅ
I'm looking forward to the price announcement, might jump on it

[TheSeaRabbit]

Wow this looks clean as hell. Definitely looking forward to it

[endl]

I really like this layout but no back lighting is kinda a deal breaker for me since I type alot in the dark

[geekit]

I'm more of a lightweight & portable case person, but I just want to say that I really like the 75% PCB layout. That button at top right is what I really need - a button instead of a rotary encoder.

[dks]

Second round of protos have arrived. We are preparing for GB with the vendors and will be releasing dates, prices, format and options. Target GB date is for this month.

There are streamer builds scheduled and will be announced here as well.

We've also been working on some new content, including this website where you can learn more about BOX 75 and future projects: www.lindesign.studio

A little late but happy new year! Stay safe and take care.

[hottrout]

Great news, very excited.

[Afresh]

Damn this makes me moist. Def in!

[dks]

Thanks for everyone who has been following BOX. We have some great news to share.

GB dates and US region prices are announced. All four colorways will be offered at two different price points, the default SS and the black PVD. For more details please check the post.
The BOX 75 GB will run from Jan. 22 - Feb. 19, taking unlimited orders during this timeframe. Please see collaborating vendors. 
Additional photos of the new prototypes are added to the gallery. Streams are being sorted out at this moment and will be announced here and in our discord.

[Havattack]

Well, I think this might of just put the final nail in the coffin of me getting in on the Victus Styrka GB...  This, plus 2-3 key sets i want, Space Trek, Grid, and geist and Synth60 probably coming out soon too... Oh well.

[highpur]

I enjoy this 75% layout, however, the design is not to my taste nor does the pricing make it convincing for me especially since it's unlimited. Good luck with the GB!

[KurageOuji]

want to join, but wish this had a hotswap pcb option, hopefully next time

[hottrout]

Everything looks superb apart from no ISO plate at purchase.  The PCB is ISO ready but there id no plate, is that correct?

[Jo_hannes]

Correct, trout. An ISO file will be provided, so I am hoping for a small GB (hopefully organized by Mykeyboard to spread awareness and lower costs) after the GB.

Seconded Maybe Johannes i right that Mykeyboard can make a small GB for the ISO plate (but I have no idea what the chances of this happening would be).

Looking very much forward to the streams!

On that basis I would be willing to buy.  I always loved the design ethic of this board and could not bear to not have one in the collection.

Okay so some good news for you two, and others. Jo's idea was quite effective and I've reached out immediately to Mykeyboard regarding this. We're working a plan out but the gist is Mykeyboard will be offering ISO plates separately during the GB themselves. I'll have more details on this but thank you for the feedback.

I don't know who to give more praise: Johannes for the exceptionel idea or you for the immediate action! So thanks to the both of you!

I was not expecting that.  Thank you both for this news.  I was going to support and buy before this and now my order is certain.  If there is any say in the matter I would prefer and would pay for an FR4 plate or forged carbon plate.  This board would deserve it.

Again thank you both.

Wow, so awesome! This is the first time I ever actually contributed with something meaningful in this community. /J

eWhite with the black legs is absolutely beautiful, take my money dks!

The real problem is that they are both beautiful, each in their own way.

[UGunaLOSE]

Unique and clean looking board! Tomorrow is the day!

[dks]

Group buy is now live with vendor links updated in the thread.

[hottrout]

Oh boy here we go again.  Seriously how is anyone suppost to choose.  All this time I was heart set on Black with Stainless Steel, now after going to order, I cant make my mind up.  The White with Black PVD is fire.
