Time 80 (https://en.zfrontier.com/products/foxlab-time) was the second design of Fox Lab back in 2017.
It has also become an iconic keyboard design of Fox Lab.
If there’s a keyboard that I would like to run a round 2 GB, it’s the Time 80.
Not only I want to make it available to more people again, but also I can perfect the original design.
Here comes the Time 80% RE (Reforged) version.
(https://i.imgur.com/3RGKPIZ.jpg)
Time80RE kept most of the original weight design.
The clock has become thinner now and has a tempered glass cover.
The front height of the keyboard has greatly reduced for optimizing for comfort.
The ratio between the top and bottom cases has been adjusted for a cleaner side view.
(https://i.imgur.com/1Ebu8iM.jpg)
Top mount split plate.
As the intention is to keep the classic design and improve it, I used the top mounting structure but with a novel plate design, the split plate.
(https://i.imgur.com/VAk4TL1.jpg)
The plate of Time80RE has been cut into halves between R2 and R3.
After the switches are soldered, both halves of the plate are attached to the PCB assembly.
The top mounted plate has no metal bridge between R2 and R3 which results in a much softer bottom out.
The split plate design was inspired by the half plate design and leaf spring mount design.
The current design in the renders is under prototyping.
I will test the prototype by myself and send one for reviewing if possible.
Please let me know what materials and colors you want the most in the group buy.
Anodization, E-coating, PVD, polycarbonate, and POM are all available.
I’ve noticed that E-white and matte clear PC are the most popular options, but I’d like to diversify the options as much as possible.
Powder coating will also be available this time. I’ve got prototypes from 7 factories and selected one with the best quality.
Also please let me know if you have other questions or suggestions.

The mounting mechanism sounded fascinating in the zfrontier post (https://www.zfrontier.com/app/flow/22718), and your description here. Would it be possible to get a picture of the plate/mount setup?
I'll post photos once I get the prototype. The CNC has been finished. I'm waiting for the anodizing.

but wondering how strong the glass on the back will be? and what if it shatters? would like for you to revisit the design choice on that.
also hoping unlimited pls.
edit: if the end user have a choice to install the glasss or not, then the design choice of glass would be fine.

The tg cover doesn't sit completely flush with the bottom so it's very unlikely you'll break it. While tg is pretty strong, I also considered acrylic covers, if anyone is afraid of breaking it.
Yes it's removable.

Also, like Key65, will be there a logo less option? I would prefer “Time” to be more subtle above the arrow cluster.
Either way, it looks like a beautiful board and I am looking forward to seeing the proto’s and GB.

There will be an optional rubber/foam inner layer between the PCB and the split plate.

Most probably the GB will open for a time span with a top soft limit that I can handle.

Sure, WKL will be an option.
Most probably there won't be an logo-less option. You can always choose the same color for the case and the logo to make the logo subtle.

Any chance for an EU vendor. Assuming the price will be similar to the r1 after factoring in shipping and VAT the price would be around 650-730USD. Really love the design and this is one if the boards that really got me interested in custom keebs but 700USD is just too much for me right now.
The price for the original Time 80 included international shipping and transaction fees.

how about dlc coating haha ^-^
That's what I've been considered for a while. I haven't found a factory that can apply the coating with low MOQ, high quality, and reasonable price, though.

i mean, no doubt, that's an awesome design and looks dope af, but it's on the back side of a "tool" and not to be seen 100% of the time it's used.
i'm all for nice keyboards, having a 2nd board and more caps standing on my desk for optic reasons, but if the dopeness is on the back side, it contradicts the purpose of a keyboard imo. that's why i'm asking :thumb:

Smoked PC is possible if I can find a reliable material supplier.
SS and PVD will be very difficult to be an option on the weight parts. They must be polished to be a mirror finish first. I couldn't find a way to polish the small parts.

from my (limited) experience, a nice powder coat will look the same as an e-coat. it'll be thicker and stronger than e-coating though.

Yes, powder coating is generally thicker than E-coating. Both of them are electrostatically applied and cured under heat, tho.
There are many different finishes and materials of powder coating.
What we're gonna use is a new, according to the factory, finish called "skin-like powder coating".

Top left is silver anodizing. Bottom right is the skin-like powder coating. The right side is the regular powder coating.
As you can see, the new powder coating finish is very smooth while still matte. I really like the look and feel of it.

China GB will be July 13-15. Will the international GB open right after that? How much would be the price for intl?
The international GB will be opened only when I'm 100% confident in the design.
Buyers in some countries are much less tolerant than Chinese buyers IMO.
One or two prototypes will be sent for review.

There will be a hotswap and single color SMD LED PCB.
I'm not sure if it will work well with the split plate though. The solder version works well.
I will test the hotswap version PCB later this month.

I agree and would've liked to see something more symbolic of time like an hourglass (like the key65 logo design), or just a smaller typeface like you mentioned.
I'm personally a fan of more minimal design language. I guess this GB will have to be an exception with that weight :p

handling a thousand board group buy would be insanely difficult. hell, even 500 is crazy. even if 500 will sell out in a minute, it seems unwise to increase the "soft limit". i'm also sure senter is aware of the current state of demand in the hobby.

3. Via compatibility( I don't know if it is gonna be compatible or not but via is awesome)
4. I know this has been already discarded but a clock logo on the front would be a killer or if you could have the time logo that you have in the format of a digital clock.
But all in all, omg omg omg, never thought I would be going all hyped for an 80% but this is the bomb right here! I hope I get one!

Even if the 'clock' can be powered off of USB, I think it might suck up TOO much power :))

What about, and hear me out, we use 2 double AA batteries to power the clock, like any other normal clock. I am not saying this for this version, may be rev3 or even 4. But imagine a working clock behind a keyboard. *drools*Totally in for the board! Would love to seeOh also, if the clock at the back could work, that'd be great!

Better idea, just make the clock in the black a functional clock, and we'll just flip the board over whenever we want to know the time.

➣ Wavez Green Anodized Aluminium (The green and gold PVD badge looks amazing)
➣ E-White Aluminium (The beautiful snow white is an all time favorite)
➣ High-Gloss Chamfer Black (It would be like a timeless piece piano)
Since the other two are a bit far fetched, the E-white would be an insta-buy for me.

This looks amazing, someone sent me a TIME to cerakote last year, the gears are amazing, I'll definitely try to get this board! I love the look and am interested in that split plate!
That is exactly what I’m interested in... Celeste Cerakote!
I was hoping that would be an offered finish!

1. Is the PCB QMK and if not what firmware / programming method does it use?
2. Previous Time TKL had a option for brass parts (yes I remember the issues well however...) will you consider offering brass options for Time Reforged?

I apologize if this was already answered but I went through the original R1 and the QMK repository and went through this thread first.

Having word 'TIME' engraved looks tacky, much prefer symbols instead of words
I can get behind this idea, like a 2D clock with 80 and RE next to it, but I feel like to fill out that area and not have it awkward, all text would look a bit better.

Having a 2D clock alone, would be AMAZING instead of it saying "TIME"
... and hopefully this GB starts sometime soon.

cerakote is a ceramic coating to protect and seal the metal.. like paint...
i first heard of it being used with firearms... when i looked up the kriss vector.... the coating looks so very nice.

then the celeste color i'm talking about here _>https://i.pinimg.com/originals/40/45/5c/40455c68d4e2885c421e0bf48336521f.jpg (https://i.pinimg.com/originals/40/45/5c/40455c68d4e2885c421e0bf48336521f.jpg)
it's a little bit more green than robin's egg blue but still has that soft/lush look.
i'd like to see celeste cerakote on this box

I know it's big-asking, but this board is AMAZING on the bottom, probably the hottest keeb on the bottom while the top is just standard and the logo is just "meh", i'm not even sure whatever is the red thing near the TIME text (at this point was better on R1 imho). I just think that the top doesn't make justice to the amazing bottom of this keyboard (which I really love more than any other bottom), but what we are going to see 99% of the time is the top :/
A nicer top logo, which is also relevant with time, would be a very good choice imho
Post by: //gainsborough on Sat, 08 August 2020, 17:08:54
I'm absolutely in love with the keyboard but would you reconsider the 'Time' logo on the front? I feel like the logo is a bit too casual for the the whole theme of a keyboard. Maybe using a symbol or a different and smaller font will fit better with the whole luxurious and 'antique' vibe of the board?
No.

Bear in mind environment, mic, settings, etc all affect the sound so this is more meant to give a general idea of what it sounds like.
I think Senter doesn't really believe in them for these reasons but I think it's still useful for some very generic comparisons!

if you are talking about Minterly's build then I believe that is a 6.25U spacebar.

Please don't. A working clock means moving parts - on top of increasing the price, they might have to add a battery in the keyboard to make it possible for the clock to keep ticking and have the right now even when the PC is off, but that also means the is an increased chance of breaking those parts when moving the board :( And all that for something you wouldn't see 99% of the time ^^'
