Oh wow that light blue ano color is cool :-D Love the low front height, love the angle, love the weight/back logo, love 1.6mm PCB (presumably no flex cuts)!

Could possibly do with another photo that shows more of the side. Also that second photo is really weird it looks like the board isn't touching the desk on the sides, but I guess it's just a quirk of the lighting.

Sadly no HHKB! glwic

not really, his point is this is a low info/low effort ic.
i was interested but since there's no pic of the inside of the board and the IC only has the question "are u interested?" with no,link to v1 either made me reply back with No.

yes, there are no flex cuts! I tested those on the first Riva version and they were just too much and sounded worse.
That picture looks that way because i took them in my photo box which has a soft bottom. I linked more pictures in the gallery, feel free to check them out!  ;D

the questions only show up if u select the option "interested=yes", and since the info wasnt before this option, i couldnt see the questions. checked them now.
internal pics were prolly edited in. werent there at the time of my comment.

Thank you all for participating in the IC form! I was able to decide on two of the four GB colours so far:
Light Blue was the most voted colour with a huge majority, purple being the second most wanted! The third colour is probably going to be either black or silver, the fourth not being final yet.

I ordered the hotswap PCB and Plate and should be able to test them out soon. I've decided that they are going to be sold as an extra hotswap-kit since i want everyone who buys a Riva to also enjoy and experience it plateless.

You will be able to see how everything works and sounds at the keyboard stream before the GB  ;D 

(google form will stay open until the end)

Helloo everyone!  ;D
The hotswap PCBs arrived and i just tested them! They work great and are even usable without a Plate (stepped capslock and split rShift are a bit wonky) but i still recommend to use them with it since the switches are secure more that way.

Not yet! I just went through the google form to count the votes and the last colour is a tie between pink/rose and dark red with around 10 votes each. I'll try to decide it until the end of december! Personally if you ask me I'm also 50/50 between pink and red  ;D

So for now it's Lavender, Light Blue and Black!

Hello everyone!
I have a few updates regarding the Riva GB:

1. Alexotos livestream - Be sure to check it out today, 1pm EST!
2. All the colours are decided on! Last colour is going to be burgundy.
3. Hotswap PCBs are going to be purchasable as an extra kit including a plate.

Hope to see y'all at the stream today!

No, silver was a one of the prototype colours. It received less votes than black so I had to take it out of the GB
