[IC]Custom Keyboard - the Moon - Album of Prototype Updated

[Tally810]

Quick google translate showed the color combos:
color: the upper: Ivory black: military green positioning board: dark gray
color two: on: Cang Xue silver: Indocal bamboo green positioning board: Violet
color three: on: black oak: Fala red positioning board: ink black
color four: on: buckwheat gray: mist blue blue plate: silver on the silver

zzyjayfree, are these the only colors that are available? Additionally are they only available in sets like that? Or will we be able to mix and match?

I'm really hoping we're not limited to pre-made pairings like that, would really hurt my interest. That list has no options for a neutrally-colored bottom half at all so even trading for something you couldn't get a neutral pair.

Wishlist: silver upper, gray bottom, violet bottom if I must have a color

I'm with you on the hoping for no pre-made pairings. The Chinese buy has me a bit worried though... I was also expecting a few more color options to be honest.

Tbh other than the amazing shape of the board all of the color possibilities really made this special.  Hope it doesn't come to 4 pre-made options :/.

Yup what really drew me in besides the shape was that color of the prototype with the grey and orange to match SA Carbon my favorite set.  If there's no Orange I will be extremely upset.

The new logo looks wayyyy better IMO.  Any pictures of the bottom of the case?  Love the red, promising to hear about the color options being plentiful.

[Robotical]

Love the new logo. Super excited for this buy!

[Edit] zzyjayfree, will we be able to order multiple switch plates for this keyboard?

[zzyjayfree]

Update posted!

[yokken]

Looking good! Any word if you can do brass plates, and if so, will it have cutouts for switchtop removal? Please say yes...

[pr0ximity]

Wow that red color looks great. Do we know whether the top/bottom color pairings will be premade or if each order can specify its own top and bottom color?

Still very excited for this!

please, please please please, please keep the Carbon colors (orange and grey) like in the prototype. Please!!

[Robotical]

Sorry if I spammed your push notification

Keep spamming away! My excitement for this only grows with each notification.

I didn't hate the old logo, but the new logo is gorgeous, so still happy with it. Need colour options asap so I can decide on what my order will be.

Do you have an idea of how many sets will be up for grabs?

[metalliccharles]

Been lurking on this thread for awhile... Just had to say JEBUS THIS KEEB IS SWEET

[lecorsair]

I know it is set, but I actually prefer the old logo, the softer font blended in with the overall design language of the case.

[aznreaper]

Dang, yeah I preferred the old logo, look simpler and cleaner in my eyes. Kinda wish they went with a simpler weight design like the Mira as well. I know that it spells out moon, and I guess it kinda matches the new direction to match the logo. Looks like I found enough excuses to pass on the though, still love the side profile of this board, it's got the nicest looking curves

Same, I really like the old logo, why would you change it

I think we should start voting to get back the old Moon logo

Old LOGO gets my vote!

[Tally810]

I like the new logo even though I prefer the old one slightly.  Keyboard is still looking great.  Colors will be huge for me.

I also prefer the old logo. It looked like something that might be written on the Voyager Golden Record. Something about it seemed more cosmic.

[pr0ximity]

New logo looks fine to me.

I notice it's a different color than the top and bottom, how does that work I wonder.

I do prefer the old logo as well, a shame it had to be changed. The new one is good, cleaner, but the old one has a unique sci-fi vibe to it that I don't think the new logo captures. Oh well... in the scheme of things it's still pretty nice, and the hard line where the top case connects to the bottom is still the worst looking part of this board. Which is saying a lot because this board is gorgeous.

[imprevade]

What if you took the best parts of both logos and created something better, like this;

[Photoelectric]

The thin arc over the "MOON" in the original logo looked very cool.  Went very well with the overall curved design of the case.

[rmendis]

The new logo is fine, but the fact that there are two different logos on the board (different one on the bottom) triggers my OCD.

I agree - the bottom logo is a little OCD-inducing. It's good that at least it's the bottom, which one may rarely look at.

[Gajible]

I don't see why the bottom logo isn't just phases of the moon. It's close, but... not quite.

That would be very cool. Then my OCD would be at ease with only one logo

[LightningXI]

Space nerds understand. That's a great suggestion, Gajible.

Yeeeeuh boiii!!! Brass plate master race 

[JDragon]

I hope black and gold is still an option. Really liked the look of that prototype.

[PleaseBeMyFriend]

Oh man this genuinely looks so good

[LiQuiDs]

I love it!!!

when you guys start drop?

Let me know please!!!

[Pendylan]

Love the look and theme for this board, so excited for the GB - I can't wait!

[SBJ]

Any idea when this might drop?

[dblack]

The curvature on the sides really makes this board, cant wait for a group buy. I think i'd go for a silver board this time.

[Robotical]

zzyjayfree, any news on the color options at this point or are you still waiting on a response from the manufacturer? I am kind of curious to see if we will have some options that match GMK Yuri.

[Rykno]

Has there been mention of where the port for the cable is going to be?

Here is the picture from the first post with the USB opening highlighted:

[Rykno]

Ahh, very well hidden! Thank you!

[pixelpusher]

Is it an optical illusion, or do the switches sit lower on the top row than the rest of the board (Function row)?  I prefer the lower look to hide the switches, but it looks like that is only the case on the top row.

Since the switches are all soldered to a single PCB, they are all on the same plane.

I see, so the plate is at an angle, but the case has a slight curve at the top, so that's why the switches appear to be at different heights.  I had not noticed this in the first prototype, but I'm not fond of it.  I really like the keys down lower

[rioc]

hoping I've got enough budget left to afford this thing after the tric80 and skog...

I'm not positive, but I believe the top surface of the case is is curved along it's entire height (from F row to space). Since the keys are on the same plane (pcb), some of the caps project beyond the case more than others. The F row is essentially inset into the case while the space row is almost floating like a low profile case.

I happen to really like the look as it's quite unique.

[heedpantsnow]

So will there still be the big bars on either side of the logo on the top edge of the board?

It's not a deal breaker, but I'd love the option to have that omitted.

[goodeyesniper85]

I have such an insane keeboner for this board.
