Any chance of supporting Alps?
I grew up with clacky steel-cased keyboards, so I had to get this one. Great job!
Commenting to get updates. Looking forward to this! Great job :thumb:Thank you!!!!
Looks amazing. ^-^You flatter me ;D
I guess this means the HHKB top didn't play out? Any likelihood of an R2 in the future with that option if this GB goes well or should I just give up hope now?
Honestly surprised that this hasn't sold out already.
I think it flew under a lot of people's radar because I run into people on streams and in discords almost daily that have not heard of it before.
Glad to see the 500 sell out already in NA...although I was secretly hoping there would be an issue getting to 500 units so i could order another color ;D. Great job BirgusLatro!

Group Buy Ordering phase will close at Sunday October 25 at 23:59 Pacific Time. Order mods will be open until 24 hours after I am able to share pictures of the sample parts from the Manu.
Edit: samples will be received Wed, expect order mods to close Fri. Oct 30
Can we have an estimate of when will it ship ?
I ordered one via Candykeys as I'm in EU.
Thanks !
At this point no, but I could do a small GB after the current one, just for plates featuring everyone's weird layouts / alps support, assuming there is enough interest. I also have an idea for adapters so people can print or cut their own plates.
Orders are closed by now. Only people who have ordered will be able to modify their orders (mainly case colours) if real-life prototype pictures convince them to do so.Yes, this is correct - order modifications were only for those that actually joined the GB before that time.
haha yes unfortunately I don't know how popular that layout is but I will keep that in mind.
That would be very highly appreciated! If you do this, what would be a realistic MOQ for a plate for a given weird layout?
(I use an unusual bottom row on my 60% boards: 1.5 - 1 - 1.5 - 2.75 - 1.5 - 2.75 - 1.5 - 1 - 1.5. Basically Tsangan, but with the 7u spacebar replaced with a 2.75 - 1.5 - 2.75 split. AFAIK this is only supported by the BananaSplit 60 R2 PCB, so I know I belong to a tiny minority within a tiny minority here.)
I just learned this existed todayI will let everyone know when extras are available
Good question. The case does have foam, but you don't have to use it if you really want it to be echo-y. If you mean clack and not click, something like TKC Banana Split switches or NK Creams, or any Durock Linear would be good. If you like tactile switches; Holy Panda, Zealios, Blueberries, Kiwi, T1...I grew up with clacky steel-cased keyboards, so I had to get this one. Great job!
Speaking of which: what switches would best take advantage of the metal case for the optimal clack?
This isn't going to be my daily driver so I don't have to worry about annoying anyone, but I don't have any experience with really clacky switches - the clackiest (clickiest) I've ever gone was Kailh Box Whites.
Can we have an estimate of when will it ship ?The estimate is still Q1 2021. I have ascertained that all the Candykeys order will fit on one pallet. So if this ships via airfreight you might expect your order later in Q1 but if it is shipped by sea, I am not sure. I have yet to discuss that with CK.

Wheres the best place to go to find out abut the extras? This thread?

I actually prefer clicky, but in this case I'd like to aim for something that's either the loudest or most nostalgic given the Saturn60's aesthetics. I'm not too familiar with the more exotic switches. All advice is welcome :D
I have some Glorious Pandas (https://www.pcgamingrace.com/products/glorious-panda-mechanical-switches (https://www.pcgamingrace.com/products/glorious-panda-mechanical-switches)) that I was thinking of using but since the PCB isn't hotswap I'd prefer to get the click/clack right the first time.
Any new progress on production? Can't wait! :thumb:
is there a TKL of this ?
blah, blah, blah, you and your timely updates... Just let buy an extra all ready! LOL You're doing an awesome job with this, wish you ran every GB..You are too kind!!! Just doing my best, thank you for the encouragement :D

I seem to remember discussions of a v2 with WKL option, but no talk of a TKL. That would be huge and fantastic. Put me down for at least 1.
Would love to see a second round of these at some point, so sad I missed out.
Boards have been done for quite some time, but the PCBs had to be redone. If your order included a PCB, you're waiting like the rest of us. Latest development was that yesterday DHL confirmed the new PCBs were lost in shipping. So we wait longer. Sadge. This info is from the discord channel.
Did anyone receive this one? Last update a month ago mentioned shipping next week.
I ordered via a proxy, not sure if shipping to proxies happened already...
Any news for us EU buyers? You said you were hoping to have them at CandyKeys within a week, and that was in start September.
