To-Do List:
Round 2 samples (In process)
Send prototype unit to content creator for build and review content
Announce sale date


Updates 2022-06-09
Round 1 of prototypes have been made and I have to say they look amazing!
We made changes while waiting for the prototypes to be made, here are the changes we made:

• We changed the mounting system and added a leafspring mounting system.
• We added a bridge at the space bar on the plate so that the hotswap PCB will work.

R2 Prototypes are ordered

We also confirmed the price and MOQ
The keyboard price will be: 450$ and the MOQ: 500.

(Photos of the first round of prototypes will soon be updated on the IC)

The front engraving will remain, but there will also be option to remove it when you create your order.


Updates 2022-08-02
R2 Prototypes are made and everythings works perfect! (We had to change the PC plate version cutouts, it had to much flex. This is already fixed.)

We are waiting for the package to be done, this should only take a few more days.
Kbdfans will send one prototype to me and one to Taeha Types for content.

Are you the same one who made this, stole from someone else's design? I remember from a Blacksimon stream.

[Mighty Setup]

Hello! I never stole anything, this is resolved between me and Hali.
Hali and I used the same manufacturer, this manufacturer sent me Halis files without my knowledge, they told me to use it as a template to create my own keyboard.
Everything has changed and there is nothing copied from Hali.

Thanks for bringing it up

everything's been cleared up in dms; i gave permission to post the ic after seeing things being changed in the design

[SDKCAMPING]

happy to see it was resolved . Design looks solid overall, but what does the engraving above the arrow say?

[Kajoler]

Interesting, I'd like to see the prototype. What colors will there be for the board?

[Mighty Setup]

Hello we are excited for that aswell! Our idea at the moment is to offer 6 colours.
Black, white, purple, blue, red, gray.

I want to say thanks for all the good vibes!

[Keeblet_257]

can we get some renders of the board in the different colours? I know that renders dont represent the product to 100% but it gives me at least a idea on what it may look like/turn out.

Hello, thanks for the feedback! I updated the post with keyboard colour versions! keep in mind that these are renders and that the colours might not be 100% accurate.

[Key_Capt]

Look beautiful, I'm in for a forest green one.

desk mats are really nice as well.

[DaaDaa]

darn, this is excellent, i have t0 have one.

[DaaDaa]

would it be possible to offer the option to buy extra top cases? id like to buy one unit with two top cases.

[strikerfreeZ]

Ah, kinda shame that there isnt a SG vendor or a SEA vendor

[Mighty Setup]

The keyboard will be limited to KBDfans. They sell global and it should be available to purchase trough them from SEA.

Interesting question! I don't think that would be possible but i will for sure check the possibilities for that.
Weights, plates and other things will be available to buy extra.

[Log_In_Again]

Looking good! Would like to see VIA compatibility as well if possible.
Is there also an estimate for the price at the moment?

Wow... they def aren't the same and most keebs are similar in style anyway. Keep your negativity elsewhere.

[minibaker67]

Thank you! It says 豪鬼 which is translated from japanese to english: Akuma

If I'm not wrong it says 悪魔 but regardless it does mean Akuma!

I was asking them a question. In the old one, it appeared to be the designer committing theft of the files. Also ironic you say to keep my negativity out for asking, when you seem to be quite negative in your response. The irony!

Your correct, thank you for the notice!

[DangerousMoth]

I really like the keyboard however I'm unsure about the top engraving. It might not appeal to non-Japanese speakers. Have you considered using "Akuma" or just leaving it blank?

[DaaDaa]

In my Case I am no on Japanese speaker and the top engraving very much appeals to me

[Mighty Setup]

Hello! And thank you for taking time to comment.

We found japanese very appealing when we designed the keyboard. We trying to offer a japanese theme and the engraving in japanese fits very well with that idea.

Your request depends on taste and we cannot change everything to fit everyones taste im afraid.

Have a good day!

[Flybeck]

Great looking board. Best of luck

[LeoneShamoth]

Looks great! Glad the problems were resolved with good old communication. It's something we don't see enough sadly. I hope all goes well, the purple looks perfect for a build I have planned!
