Update on OP as well
Just noticed that it comes with a hard keyboard case! Love the extra miles you are going to for this as I would hate to get a ding in the keyboard! Are there any pictures of what the case will be like either way I am so excited for this :)
Check IC: https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=92216.0
any of the EVE boards here anodized in the "silver white" color?
http://www.zfrontier.com/post/detail/3609
Are the PCB's going to have North or South facing LEDs?
Check IC: https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=92216.0
I couldnt find anything on there about the case further than the initial post.

Silver/White anodizing is almost always just clear.
How much does the whole keyboard weigh?Under 1.2kg. If adding solid bag and package might be around 2kg.
This looks really nice. Any more pics of the army green from the top?
I have to ask, what's the advantage of a brass plate? I would be using tactile switches, most likely Zealios or something. If that matters at all.

Brass is more dense than aluminum, and gives a more rigid base for switches. It won't flex as much on key presses so presses and bottoming out feels more firm. Also the density gives a slightly deeper sound on bottoming out.
Many people prefer more dense plates for linear switches, and more flexible plates for tactile switches but that's personal preference

What is the actual color being used for the army green? Like is there a pantone? I'm super torn about it cause I really like the idea of a green case, but there is a very thin line between a good and a bad green for me.
Has EVE done anything similar before?
Is it just gonna look like this:Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/eTfAnVj.jpg)

It is darker than your rendering.
Personally, ArmyGreen loos like a gray green (RGB: 100,150,70 from my point of view). But the moon one seems more likely to be a dark green (RGB: 50,90,10 from my point of view).
hmm... then I choose White! :p
Keep in mind, white isn't white. It's matte silver (hence the name, Silver white), that will look lighter than silver ano that has more shine.

Is there some kind of treatment that prevents oxidation on the brass plate?

I'm also curious about this. Will we need to apply a treatment ourselves?

There will have a process for brass plate to prevent oxidation but i have to say it just prevent oxidation not so quickly rather than permanent.
Most they(factory) do for prevent oxidation is put the brass into a chemical water sink to let the brass have a protect minor surface. And it's same with the EVE do.What will the process be?Is there some kind of treatment that prevents oxidation on the brass plate?

Would you recommend us to apply an additional treatment/finish? If so, what would work well in addition to the factory's treatment? I'm new to this and not aware of the different options.
I wonder how good Army green would look like with GMK camping

I was thinking the same thing. I planned on getting dark gray but now I'm thinking Green to go with GMK Camping.

+1 for army green with GMK Camping.
As long as the Dark Gray hasn't changed and it's still the same exact color as the prototype, it'll be either the Army Green or Gray for me.
Yea the dark grey one looks really good!
thats the one with the red plate right? ( in the pictures )

Yeah, it would look really good but what if I want to change caps. Green doesn't go with all color schemes but gray does. Ughh, I'm so torn.

You could change to 9009 and it would still look okay :P.
Oeeeh yea that one would also go along great! I think we have the same taste :P :thumb:
Is anyone getting the PCB addon when the group buy starts? I was planning on getting that since I've heard good things about it and it's rather inexpensive. But I've been looking at the Zeal60 and now I'm not too sure haha. x.x

I <3 Zeal60, but its not worth it if you don't care about RGB. There are plenty of cheaper options. For me tho it's an easy choice for a purple and brass case, cause new Zeal60s even have a gold USB port. The Zeal60 PCBs are EXTREMELY high quality. I'm guessing the next best quality wise (like well manufactured) is probably the Gon60, and then I don't really know after that.
But I also already have a spare Zeal60 pcb, so is easy choice.
RGB ShmarGB. Does anyone type with backlighting? Only useful for pretty pictures :D
Well, you have pictures of the purple (although it will be a bit darker in final product), gray (Ares prototype), green (like the one shot of the moon he linked), silver (evil 80 prototype).. and red and black are pretty standard.

So who's getting which colors? :D I'm thinking Matte Silver and Purple.
Dark grey
PCB
Brass plate
and Red plate
In for a green one! High hopes that the color will look like that Moon mentioned earlier :-\ :)
Alright. Im stuck.
GMK laser on silver white or purple. I can't decide :(

Purple will match great, in my opinion.
But Silver does seem to match with everything.

Silver and 9009 go together very well. Silver is the most versatile color.
I couldn't decide what I wanted so I got a gray and a silver!
I sold a lot of older stuff over the past two weeks in order to pay for them :thumb: I'll only have to pay shipping out of pocket.
Holy nice case, I can't wait anymore, take all my money plz!!! :p
I like the bottom design a lot. Nice work Kenlee. Too bad bottom is on the bottom. :p
cant wait for this, that army green is fire
You guys need to hurry up and make this sell out so I can stop being tempted to order a second one :P

Might not sell out, but it should. The design is great. The lines and tolerances look as good as any other hhkb I've seen, and better than most (even big name kustoms), and it's gonna be made by Eve who produces fantastic work. But, we've seen big name designers only sell 40-50 of certain boards so who the hell knows.
Just a head up every orders allow to change (use the link in confirmation mail) and if you don't see the mail pls check ur spam folder of mail or check if you left the right mail
So i might update and upload the order sheet after gb close and let everyone check again (from 1/18-1/20)
After that i'll send invoices in batches (from 1/21)

checked spam folder of all my emails given and still nothing, now I don't know if I should fill more forms or just wait for emails now :(

Ya so many nice boards are around last and this year and lots of people broke after Christmas, so it's not the best time to run the gb.
As for the design i know some people don't like the bottom and text cuz i try to make something different form other boards. So far about 50 orders and if add taiwan community orders it might be around 70.
Although some people know me but i have no reputations here so i really appreciate those people who have been helped me and those who join this gb to make this gb happen. :thumb:

Yup yup, the board looks fantastic, and while the nameplate isn't my favorite (like i said before, it's not bad at all, it just reminds me of the old dare logo lol), i do actually think it looks nice. That's why I had to get the purple one (I do wish you offered a dark plate option tho. I'd love a black plate. but i'd still also get brass either way).
I just would probably get a green one too if timing was better.
Edit: To be clear, that's not a complaint, it's just factual with budgets being what they are

I adopt this text cuz I love the chinese calligraphy and tbh style of Ares bottom is little wild so I try to combine them together.Show Image(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180112/cb4c39a0a1a983cf7d3ab69230306779.jpg)Show Image(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180112/2e2abf103411f63f495026179a1c783b.jpg)Show Image(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180112/edb1493f45d2e4ace1d154c22085d6bf.jpg)
I like the bottom even more now that I know its based off of calligraphy ;D
I'm so glad you point it out, that's another reason why I don't adopt the classic fonts.Ya, even I know soft, round fonts are classic and more popular, but why not try something different maybe you will lead the fashionHi, my friend no worries and I'm fine with any suggestions or comments.You guys need to hurry up and make this sell out so I can stop being tempted to order a second one
Might not sell out, but it should. The design is great. The lines and tolerances look as good as any other hhkb I've seen, and better than most (even big name kustoms), and it's gonna be made by Eve who produces fantastic work. But, we've seen big name designers only sell 40-50 of certain boards so who the hell knows.
Fair enough.
TBH, It would be easy to justify if i wasn't also tempted by TX60/65 and LZ s x h and CU66... Why do so many awesome 6x% keyboards have to be dropping at once >_<.
Ya so many nice boards are around last and this year and lots of people broke after Christmas, so it's not the best time to run the gb.
As for the design i know some people don't like the bottom and text cuz i try to make something different form other boards. So far about 50 orders and if add taiwan community orders it might be around 70.
Although some people know me but i have no reputations here so i really appreciate those people who have been helped me and those who join this gb to make this gb happen. :thumb:
Yup yup, the board looks fantastic, and while the nameplate isn't my favorite (like i said before, it's not bad at all, it just reminds me of the old dare logo lol), i do actually think it looks nice. That's why I had to get the purple one (I do wish you offered a dark plate option tho. I'd love a black plate. but i'd still also get brass either way).

Personally i really like the looks of it in combination with the name (ares god of war) even the font is not greek i still like that it's still kinda a destroyed font.

Except war god Ares, Zeus, Poseidon, Apollo, Athene... those gods might show up in my following keyboards programs.

It's not my intention and if you can read about my ic or gb thread i never mention about any word about war or army
As one of people in taiwan i think some people know my country has an intense relationship with one country

No worries at all. I always thought it’s amusing to have a theme or background story when it comes to a custom keyset or keyboard. The reasons behind the scene usually won’t affect if I want to buy them or not as long as I love the design, but to each his own. I hope that doesn’t stop you from coming up with more great designs. Keep up the good work buddy!

Does the alu and brass plate support switch top opening? From the photo posted, it doesn't seem so.
This would be my first DIY keyboard so probably my plan is getting a Zeal60 PCB, 67g Zealios Purple Switches (Not sure how many I need for hhkb layout) and a Zeal gold transparent stabilizers. 6.25u for the spacebar?
Thank you

Hello,
New member here.
I've been lurking for two weeks now and decided to register because of this drop. I just fell inlove with the dark purple color.
Let me introduce and tell a little bit of myself. I got into keyboards late of 2016 when I joined my first GB in MD with my IKBC MF108 with MX Browns.
I'm using it for work now with DSA Dolch Keycaps and I am loving it.
I recently joined Mito's GMK laser and I was looking for a board to compliment it. So I've heard GH a keyboard enthusiast community and found this thread which nice that GB is still open and I know that my Gaijin + Blocknet would look awesome.

Welcome and only support 7U spacebar as i know
But I'll confirm again when i receive matte black pcb sample next week

You can't just add a 6.25 spacebar to a keyboard with 1.5 blockers... There is 7u for spacebar, 5u for mods and 3u for blockers. If you just change to 6.25u for spacebar, you now have 5.75u for mods.
What are you gonna do:
1.25 1.5 6.25 1.5 1.5
??
To support other spacebars would require a completely different top case.
I made a temp and simple order sheet and if you ordered but not on the list pls pm me or write a mail to

seems like everything recently has offered Black/Grey/Silver and often blue color choices, even being great like the Grey and blue on the MIRA. just nice to see green and purple in the mix
Looks like this is getting close to 85 sets. Will the gb stay open until the 17th in case where are some more orders? I’m very tempted but not sure I have the funds ready

Oooo, I didn't know it was a custom pcb. What kinda chip does it use? I wonder if I could get QMK on it.
Just wondering if it is ever possible to add support for split space bar?Nah, I'm afraid not
I’m so conflicted. White, grey, purple or green. Argh.

I was thinking that, but then I’m limited to green key cap sets. Was thinking of pairing it with GMK Camping but the difference in greens would probably bug me.

That's basically where i made it. I can find lots of sets to match purple or blue or red or anything neutral, but the options for green are limited and even the ones that exist won't really fit.

The green doesn't seem bright enough that it would conflict with cap sets unless you slap something like Miami on it. There are a lot of grey/blue/purple sets that work fine with the green tone.I’m so conflicted. White, grey, purple or green. Argh.

dark grey with red plate and OG dyesubs :ahegao:
I'd be all over the green if it was the exact shade of the render :)I hope I can take care of everyone's need but....
Pretty sure the post said 9 degree angle before, but now it says 8 degree. Is 8 correct? Is the prototype 8? I prefer 8, so just curious.8 is correct cuz I used wrong basis to measure before.

Did the factory ensure they won’t forget the indents for the rubber feet this time? o:
Also sent a question via pm, Ken! :)
I’m so excited about the Ares!I gave the right file but I have no idea how it happened lol but anyway before anodizing I will check again so no worries.

Has EVE received the orders/payment yet?Orders placed and waiting to pay till chinese new year holidays end next week.
Can I add another plate to my order (brass) My 1st brass plate build fell through after 4 months of waiting :( so i would like the Ares to be my brass plate build. Let me know if that's a option and if so send me a invoice to my PP and I'll pay it as soon as i see it.
If someone wants to get my spot let me know. Mine is Dark Gray with brass and red aluminum plates and one PCB.pm'ed!
https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/841ubk/ares_build_log/You are welcome and thanks for ur big support and sharing.
I just realized that I still not build the prototype Ken gave to me until last weekend.
Thanks Ken for the work! Really a nice kit!
Today Eve told me cnc will be done by mid-April and here are some pics for you.
It might delay a little cuz he's running many GBs include meteor, evil 80 and equalz after CNY at same time.
I'll keep following and if any update I'll report immediately. Thank you for you patience.Show Image(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180329/868f6358384658e5cecbec6b8616f196.jpg)Show Image(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180329/9768daa932780746ce1b36a68c32ac96.jpg)

tried round6 on Ares. the color matches really neat!
The Ares CNC finished and will send to another factory to do sandblasting and anodizing.
The finish time depends on schedule of factory and Eve's other cases but I'll update once I have a clear date.
Just another head up no more plates available rather than pcb so if you need extra pcb pls mail or pm me soon. And sorry not allowed to change color atm.

Some updates and pics for you guysnice!
All boards are done with sorting and checking as well as alu plates and weight after cnc. They can fit well and will be polished and transfer to do sandblasting.
The best schedule i get is all finished on end of May or begin of June. Then I'll check and pack every boards, hopefully ship them out on June.Show Image(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180504/1495d1a88bb13eaa1218c4cc89c2dd9a.jpg)Show Image(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180504/5398326cd84391061950859615900a9d.jpg)Show Image(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180504/4e8a8d42a2add5c9d5de1dc58ef2c9de.jpg)Show Image(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180504/7ea0173c689a7bdf0ee8f2d806c5507e.jpg)Show Image(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180504/cecf8feb76dba02584d454b17732002d.jpg)Show Image(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180504/4844ce014eb4edfef73f5206ad8c0163.jpg)Show Image(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180504/73ede627ac5ca7ee08943686e628f528.jpg)Show Image(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180504/a3b76f836c3c44cfb39c1a416aa93485.jpg)

The Gary seems lighter to me by that pic but it's matte finish so it would be a little bit darker than pic if seen in person
Trial testShow Image(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180619/aee532319b3ef6072cb3fcd38214b0e0.jpg)
The final army green will be similar to the top lighter green one. Be careful , the light affect the accuracy of the color so these are just for reference.
I'll show the final ones when they're done.

Sorry for the waiting
I asked Eve 2-3 times a week and he is still packing. He plan to ship all boards rather than batches to me so I think I can receive next week.
Eve didn't tell me he shipped 4 boards to let me approve till I I saw them arrived today.Oooo can't wait for muh greene!
The andoization of every board is very nice and the surface is very smooth.
I'll receive the remaining boards next week then start to pack every board, hopefully ship them all out before end of month.
Appreciate your patience and sorry for the waiting :)Show Image(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180718/a1abe487bda43490bf30bdc3b39746e6.jpg)Show Image(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180718/8887a8d6528c05ac4534ce6c7826522d.jpg)
Alright I think many gb buyers are waiting for the new update. I received the boards on wednesday and check all the shipments today.
Few boards (7 sets) came with wrong colors and all extra plates didn't ship. The screws on boards are not the cup head stainless screws I assign, the boards mixed with black and sliver screws.
Eve told me he will check if he have available boards I order and ship them with the correct screws and extra plates this week.
In order to speed up the shipping I will pack the correct screws in a bag and let you replace when you receive. I'm sorry for this trouble for you.
So far i have done about 45 simple packing. Once I receive the remaining stuffs I'll do my best to ship them out asap. As for the exact shipping date I'm sorry i can't give now cuz it depends on when and if I can get the right numbers of remaining stuffs.
Here are some pics of boards

And just a head up if you want to change address pls pm me here or mail to : ares.hhkb@gmail.com by this week.
Any update? :)These are almost all packages except few boards and plates haven't shipped to me from Eve.
Anyone got theirs yet?
Anyone got theirs yet?Almost all packages have been taken by DHL, EMS yesterday and if you didn't receive shipping notice plz send me a pm.

Like I mentioned before Eve still need to ship to me few boards and plates. So here I want to thank Myan, Dustli and wpnada especially cuz they give their boards or plates to let other buyers receive first.
Here are some important things need all buyers to see and to pay attention
1. Every set includes one bag of stainless screws and those can be used on every holes of board. I strongly suggest to replace them with the original "plate screws" cuz the cup head screws can cover more areas of plate and be helpful of fixing.
2. Try not to take the bottom case directly after you take out the bottom screws. I strongly suggest to hold two sides of case and overturn it to front side then just take the top case. It can help not to cause damage to the case and will be more easier to separate the top and bottom case.
I think most of you will receive the board soon and hope you guys will like it. At last I really appreciate your patience and supports.

hmm... what about SF-Express? no notification received yet
Mine is scheduled for delivery today. DHL usually comes around 10:30 am! Unfortunately I am leaving for the weekend this evening and probably won't even open the box till I get back.
Wait, I thought the Ares weight are brass? Yours looks like silver color? :confused:
got mine today. the satin finish is so nice!
i'll post more after i've done my build. here's a quick cellphone pic for nowShow Image(https://i.imgur.com/LwqWnrI.jpg)
Just got my purple Ares! Simply amazing shade of purple. As much as I love it, I kinda regret not getting the green one as well... If anyone with an army green/brass Ares wants to part ways with theirs PM me. :) Might be down for a straight trade as well, my purple for your green.Thanks for your sharing and I think half has received the packages. Hope to see more other colors like gray, armygreen show up soon :)

You should use ems or other shipping ways rather than DHL then you won't feel upset :) JK..Mine is scheduled for delivery today. DHL usually comes around 10:30 am! Unfortunately I am leaving for the weekend this evening and probably won't even open the box till I get back.

received mine today, the mat white is satisfying

but the brass is full of fingerprints, looks quite terrible

btw, the case has a limited space, seems only suitable to carry a board with no cap.

I received mine also.
As you can see from the pictures, the brass plate has lots of fingerprints on it. To be honest, it wouldn't have pass QC if it was me hosting a GB. I don't think that is acceptable for the price we paid.
More concerning is the brass weight. In the pic, you can see there is a nick on the bottom of the weight, on the bottom of the letter "E".
kenlee, I ordered an extra pcb along with an extra plate. I only received one PCB in the package. I did receive the extra red plate along with the brass plate that is installed in the case.
What can we do about the missing PCB and the damage on the weight? Please advise.

So its been a rough couple weeks since I got my ares :(
My friend lost the cord to my soldering iron, so I havent been able to assemble it yet. Also I need to find a keyset to match the purple, since all I have to spare right now is GMK plum
So you're saying GMK Plum does not work well with the purple case? That was actually the keyset I was aiming for. :S
Time for R2?buy mine
I've got a half and full plate file, if you PM me I can email it to you
