Damn, you must be having a really great morning, lol

But seriously, how will you build an AEK64 (which is a case) with a Fjell (which is also a case)?

Oh, that kinda makes sense, who would have thought that there are many different things that are named the same, I was thinking about this case with integrated plate:

Will the Pro be more expensive?

tray vs top-mount:  Top-mount is superior in every way - right?

He meant Alps64 PCB, not AEK64 the stainless steel case

[smithyithy]

Ah, I see what he meant (kinda), and I kinda expected this.

AEK64 is a layout. It's a 60% board based on the old Apple AEK boards, but in a 60% size. Most of the time using Hasu's Alps64 PCB, and whatever case you want (Fjell, for example).

Someone recently ran a closed group buy of a 60% case, called the AEK64, which I think is where the confusion came from - I've seen this a few times already, actually - after seeing that new steel case, because the case is named after a layout that already existed..

ETA: that is to say, one could build a an 'AEK64' keyboard, with or without the new 'AEK64' steel case, and it would still be an AEK64 keyboard. If that makes sense Kawasaki?

tray vs top-mount:  Top-mount is superior in every way - right?

It's pretty certain the Pro will be more expensive.

Whether it's superior depends on the traits you view as more important.

Top-mounted cases tend to feel more solid since the plate is attached to the case. Though if it is improperly designed it can also have pinging issues when the plate transfers the keystroke to the case. They are also capable of coming in the HHKB layout with Universal PCB's (GH60). They also tend to be more expensive since the multiple parts makes it more complicated to produce.

Tray-mounted cases offer a different feel since the PCB is attached to the case instead of the plate. IMO this gives the keyboard a softer feel. This completely avoids the pinging issue that improperly designed Top-mounted cases can have. Tray-mounted cases can also be easily swapped because they use universal plates. While Top-mounted cases use plates that are specific to them. They also tend to be cheaper because they can be made in one piece.

One isn't better than the other. There is only the one that best fits what you want out of a keyboard.

Yeah he said somewhere the pro would be more than the Classic case.

Picked up the purple myself Looks soo good.

[lunr]

huh i would think silver would be in there. oh well.

[Softkore]

Just picked up a purple Klippe! It was hard to choose between purple or black, but I have a black Fjell. Does anyone know approximately when the Fjell R2 and Fjell Pro buys will be? If they're going to be simultaneous I want to make sure I'm prepared...

[dodgeyhack]

Urgh $50USD shipping.

Anyone else in Australia (preferably Sydney) want to combine an order?

[pixelpusher]

Purple is sold out.  Wow. That was quick. You did say you planned to keep manufacturing these, correct?

From what I've seen, he said they'll be available on 1up first, with more retailers and/or group buys possible in the future.

I knew this **** was going to happen!  Only black cases left (no thank you).
Would have loved for this to be a normal GB

This. I have been waiting for ages for the announcement, only for them to announce the sale and run out of them while i'm sleeping.

Yep, a bit of advance notice on when the sale was going to go live would have been fantastic

I had no idea when it was going to go live sorry

[wholypantalones]

Don't worry, you'll more than likely be able to pick them up on mechmarket for a significant markup in the next week or so.

100% not your fault, that was intended for the vendor.

[OnceSavedGaming]

If they are being sold through a vendor and not a gb then more should be added to the site as they become available from the manufacturer.

As unfortunate as it is for some, it's still pretty impressive how quickly those sold out. You must've done a good job designing LeandreN

[planetsiah905]

So, sad. Been checking 1up for weeks and the one day I don't check, they launch and I missed it. Group Buy still planned for the klippe? Pleease?

[midnight2903]

Any news on FJELL HHKB/Pro? Really interested in that.

[Softkore]

I managed to snag a purple Klippe, but may end up selling/trading it in an attempt to get a UK78

WTF They already sold out?! I was waiting to hear some sort of announcement... Fking christ.
