Looks nice though.
Missed the KBD661 though.

Sample looks nice! What will the color options be?

Ye,The kit will come with a diffuser
Final plate will come with all layout below, and pcb mount.

have you decided on the colours ?

I have a little discussion with the engineer, since this is my first attempt to open 1 GB. So I'll just stop at 3 basic colors: silver / black / red

You know, many colors will have more risk of error as well as difficulty in ordering process.

oh wait? just notice it does not support split backspace on the plate.

Proto looks good, did you lower the front angle? I can't tell from the pictures

Fixed bottom row and no stepped caps either. I was mostly thinking it would be a “proto” thing and the end result will have more flexibility.

This plate is just a test of the factory's ability to process.
Split space depends on the PCB

I did not change anything, still the same as the drawing I presented as the original.

Probably because I did not install the diffuser so it looks lower in the render.

Randalljai · « **Reply #115 on:** Thu, 21 June 2018, 20:01:46 »

Any chance we can get a picture of it from the left/right side when its built? So that we can see the angle and etc from that side.

Looking great though!

any updates?

QiuFang · « **Reply #117 on:** Sun, 01 July 2018, 04:22:15 »

PCB has finished, I will test a few points before opening GB.

_ODIN_ · « **Reply #118 on:** Sun, 01 July 2018, 04:53:02 »

take your time and make sure that everything is working correctly

Aerizu · « **Reply #119 on:** Sun, 01 July 2018, 05:11:19 »

Based on the pictures, the plate doesn't seem to support split backspace but the PCB does.
Will the final plate design be a universal one (supporting both split and non-split backspace) or do you plan to offer different plates for each?

different plates would be better imo

QiuFang · « **Reply #121 on:** Sun, 01 July 2018, 07:49:45 »

Ye, this plate I made a mistake, it even has no holes to plug the leds to the 3 signal lights anymore.

But in terms of size, it's pretty accurate. Final plate will be uni version. There are enough layouts that this pcb supports, as I have posted before.

audax989 · « **Reply #122 on:** Sun, 01 July 2018, 08:19:14 »

will you be exploring other coloring options such as MAO or cerakoting for this run?

QiuFang · « **Reply #123 on:** Sun, 01 July 2018, 09:01:37 »

This is my first GB, I do not want to go wrong. I think it will only be silver and black.

Alright, I think it's a nice decision and it keeps it simple enough.

With only 10 units made...I think you'd be better off directly contacting TS/OP to see if he has an empty slot.
