[GB]LUSTRO Aluminum + Acrylic Custom 60% Case [Packing]

[bazh]

Will round 2 be a thing? I need some time to decide if I need another keyboard, as this is super tempting.

It could be, but I still have many thing to play with on this case so maybe it'll be different in the future, says, different side design or something like that 

[Prodigy46]

Put my order in for 1 red stand set but I'll take 1 purple set also

[biocalves]

I'd like to add a Gunmetal stand if it makes the MOQ. I assume it'll be darker than your poll count right?

[bazh]

Two questions

1) To estimate the cost of the PCB on winkeyless.kr, should we be adding all soldered components as well (diodes, resistors, controller, RGB, LED's, etc)?

2) Would it be possible to have sip sockets installed instead of LEDs? If not, since your plate supports switch top removal, would it be possible to add these after assemble is complete?

1. Most likely the PCB will be purchased with controller components soldered, all other thing including diodes, resistor, LEDs (regular 2x3x4mm LED), RGB SMD LEDs will be ours to be done.
2. I don't have a source for sip sockets plus install those require extra efforts (removed switch tops, put in, then close switch tops) so it will be done by you if desired. Basically we don't provide custom switch work now.


Also, here's the color count, including order from Weaven Round 2 too

Note that this is just a visualized example using color fill from Google Sheets, it may not represent 100% accurate real color

There's also people with Dark Blue and Deep Sky Blue in the order sheet but I'm assuming that you all want a deep blue more like Navy blue so it will be basic option, no counts needed.

Is it possible to have diodes, RGB LED and resistors pre-soldered as well? There are options for those on Winkeyless, but not sure if that works for this GB.

So the default blue is the blue in the pictures of Weaven OP, right?

Though I'm fine with that blue, I would prefer some special blue. Cyan is a little too bright to me. Maybe we can find a color between cyan and blue?

BTW, gunmetal is appealing too

Is it the time for the poll now?

As long as you can find enough people to support your proposal, feel free to think of the color :D I think for now I will just keep inform you the quantity for each color first, since we know don't know how many more order it will end up with yet so I think we still have time to adjust the color options after order is closed. ;)


//You want the PCB only right, I can purchased with those options from winkeyless for you :thumb:

[bazh]

Put my order in for 1 red stand set but I'll take 1 purple set also

so that mean you're in for 2 set in total?

[bazh]

yeah it'll be, the gunmetal is more likely to make the MoQ so far

Very nice, both colors I've chosen so far haven't met MOQ so am a bit nervous, haha. Someone order 1 orange!

How's the smokey frosted case looking? If you manage to get it as an option I'd like that as well.

[Geekmie]

//You want the PCB only right, I can purchased with those options from winkeyless for you

Awesome, exactly what I want.

Please put that in the note: B.face with controller, diodes, RGB LED and resistors pre-soldered.

Thanks a lot!

Yessir    only 1 sandblasted case though. Purple will also go nice with Hyperfuse and so many other sets.

Thanks for clarifying.

[Geekmie]

I see quite a few "sky blue" in the order sheet. Wonder what sky blue it is in everybody's mind? Attached is a list of blueish colors in RGB table for your reference.

BTW, for me, I prefer the "deep sky blue" in the table.

[Sifo]

as long as it's blue, man

[eyedrop]

Deep sky blue is a nice color.

[UsualSuspectXXX]

Deep sky blue is a nice color.

I agree. I'd be down for that.

[Prodigy46]

Sorry bazh I didn't make myself totally clear. I see you put that I wanted a clear case along with my sandblasted case, but I would only like the sandblasted. In total: 1x Red Aluminum, 1x Purple Aluminum, 1x Sandblasted Case. Thanks!

[Gengarfan]

Deep sky blue is a nice color.

I agree. I'd be down for that.

Would also be down for that!

Also Bazh, is there a difference between sandblasted and frost (sandblasted)?

[beehatch]

I'd be down to changing my color from Gold to either Purple or Blue. Just not sure which is going to make it

[murkey]

I'm in! Purple stand and frosted case, can't wait!

[UsualSuspectXXX]

So if we specify it in the comments, can we get the Smokey Acrylite instead of clear/frosted?

[audax989]

I've been debating on whether or not to join this. Only, because, I just spent so much lately (hhkb,Jelly key constellation,krap,etc..) what is the possibility of Round2 for this? if there is no round 2.... I'll scavenge some money to join this.

Also, is there a way we can put weights to make this heavier? I am just concerned it might start sliding all over the place because the legs dont have any rubber feet under them (or do they).

[Khuya]

pink + smoke acrylic please

[Sifo]

I'll edit it

[bazh]

Everyone, smoke up until now still need testing, we'll post update in the thread later, so for now just stick to the clear or sandblast option.

Deep sky blue is a nice color.

I agree. I'd be down for that.

Would also be down for that!

Also Bazh, is there a difference between sandblasted and frost (sandblasted)?

I think it's just only wording, the goal is to have the finishing which create light diffusing effect

[Wilba]

I think it's just only wording, the goal is to have the finishing which create light diffusing effect

There is a difference between clear acrylic that's been actually sandblasted (has a rough finish), and a semi-translucent acrylic (which can have a smooth finish).
Clear acrylic that has a rough finish might become shiny/clear with oil from fingerprints, etc. and won't really diffuse the light as well as semi-translucent acrylic.

[Geekmie]

as long as it's blue, man

Deep sky blue is a nice color.

I agree. I'd be down for that.

Would also be down for that!

So my little promotion works I guess

Should I say "Deep Sky Blue" meets the MoQ? Cos' there are five here already including me~

Now here we go, a real sample~

hmm, let me take a look on that, for me in this buy I mean clear acrylic with rough finish, see if I can find supply for the other one and price stuff too

Yeah taking your "deep sky blue" is the same with other sky blue in the form, it's pretty much secure

Like bazh mentioned, the goal would be to make a nice and equally distributed diffusion. The "frost" option on Winkeyless is good enough IMO (top one in the following image)

[top : matte frost, middle : matte white, bottom : white(opaque)]

Color count updated

[kawasaki161]

Still waiting on words about 60% case compatability of the 62/60, hopefully we get some info about it before this GB runs out.

Also sad that there is no green yet. No one has some love for green in this community -.-

Oh snap! Cyan made it in? Can I change from purple to cyan on my order? HYPE

bazh, could you also update the color of "sky blue" in this table so it would be similar to the "deep sky blue" in the color table I previously posted? I think people here sort of agree on that color I proposed. Thanks.

FYI, the hex value for that color is #00BFFF to be exact

let me see if Google sheet have that color available, anyway I get the idea of the color so worry not, the table is not 100% the color will be made :thumb:

You can do that by selecting custom option under color and type in the hex code #00BFFF

Anyway, you got the idea. Thanks!

Thank you bazh, I'm impressed how organized this is and how well you're staying on top of everything! :D

[Geekmie]

Once again, bazh, you're awesome 

Now that the sky blue is set. I want to promote some colors for the Teal/Cyan/Other blue (and potentially green?) camp.
How about "turquoise", "dark turquoise" and "medium turquoise" in the attached image?

[JDragon]

Any chance of a TKL form factor case in the future? Would love to be able to swap out the stands to my other keyboards depending on what keysets they're wearing.

[WOMBO]

+1 for pink, if it's anything like the rose gold on iPhones these days; otherwise can we get rose gold as an option?

Love your devotion to this buy

I compared these colors to hyperfuse and sky dolch and it seems "dark turquoise" best fits from those samples

[dannrawr]

hopefully theres a round 2

I initially wanted something to match the cyan legend geekkeys caps. On my computer they are almost identical to dark turquoise. Kinda hard to tell if that will match reality though... Hmm

[bazh]

just remember that each screen shows color differently due to calibrating and setting modes so comparing 1:1 screen light to real life object may not be accurate for everyone

[Geekmie]

That's very true. Hopefully we can a close enough result. I wonder if any sample would be made and shown here before "massive" production?

Thanks, buddy! I guess this is what it takes to make your ideal color meet the MoQ
It's also a fun experience to unify a color among guys

So tell me you're sold on it~

I'm planning to change the side bar color in my Weaven order to this "dark turquoise" and make it a candidate. If you guys like it, please join the camp! Thanks!

[Erysichthon]

I have a couple of questions,
1. Does this case only fit winkeyless' PCBs?
2. What is the best way to go about changing my order?

[Gengarfan]

Very true! I like to believe that my monitor has good color reproduction though since it's an IPS monitor. The MG279Q is amazing!

Yeah, if there are enough people on board (looks like ~3 atm?) and bazh is ok with me changing my order a second time, I'd switch to dark turquoise.

Dark turquoise hype! Bazh I would like my blue changed to this dark turquoise as well if possible
