Hi everyone, as there's dolphin from other studio, we decide to change the name to: dolphins75 to avoid confusion,  hope you can understand, thank you! :D

Naming this the Dolphin 75 when the real Dolphin keyboard is an iconic design is not enough. This keyboard is not in the same league as the real Dolphin. Your only design element that is dolphin related is the word dolphin on the back in a default script.
This is a nice keyboard, but calling it a dolphin is just wrong. Look at your sculpture there. See the flowing curves of the dolphins and waves...Now look at your keyboard.... Hard edges exactly the way a dolphin isn't.

Rename your board because It looks like you are trying to trick new members into thinking your board is the design icon.

To be clear I think its a nice looking board, but come up with a more applicable name.

ngl this looks like you flipped a KBD8X MII upside down, and used that as the new top

the weight does look appealing, but more just because it's a simple design with little going on

the star feature of the board just seems like it was ment as a joke that stuck

Thank you.

The implementation of a 'knob' would make it perfect for me, don't know if that is still possible or something you have thought of? For the rest, it looks interesting..

Thanks for your appreciation.
We have finished CNC and doing the anodization right now, very sorry that there's no time to add a knob right now. Thanks for your suggestion, we will consider the knob on the next project ;D

Hi,

the poron pack that you can buy extra as an add-on, this should also be standard in the package, right?
