[GB] HEX.3C - THE Budget 60% (50 more spots, 16/04/20 2200hrs GMT+8)
« on: Mon, 06 April 2020, 14:58:24 »
Greetings!

Welcome to the group buy for our debut keyboard, the HEX.3C!
This GB will be run in the FCFS(First Come First Serve) format.
GB Form HERE:GB FORM
*Form will remain locked until 09/04/20 2200hrs GMT+8
50 MORE SPOTS AVAIL HERE @ 16/04/20 2200hrs GMT+8

239469-0

The HEX.3C is a simple 60% keyboard designed to challenge the current budget market while offering a better typing experience with its unique mounting system.
We are aiming to achieve the gasket mounted experience with Poron-washers.

239471-1

This reduces the stiffness that's characteristic of bottom-mount boards.
It also reduces the resonance that metals have when in contact with other metals.
Relief cuts have also been made on the plate to achieve a more even acoustic profile,
and reduce the harshness around the mounting points.

239473-2

Here's a transparent side view for a better explanation and visualisation of how the keyboard will look like internally

*We used the faulty v1 plate for this video so that's the result of the unsatisfactory spacebar upstroke pinging you can hear. We've since fixed this issue as shown below.

Yeah this case looks really great at the price! I think the flex cuts on the plates & the burger mount should make for a very nice typing experience. I had the form up & was gonna jump on one, but really couldn't justify another 60% MX board right now. Figured better to let it go to someone who will build it up quickly, rather than having one sitting on my shelf.

I was going to jump onboard but sadly missed out. I've been lurking on the IC for a while, and I know the group buy juust finished recently but I wanted to ask if another round would be up for the future? Congrats on sold out btw.

A good estimate would be 2-3 months barring any COVID-19 related issues.

Yes, but we're more likely to come up with a different product first.

Hey yalls! We've been working hard in getting our website up and running in the past few days. We did this so that the payment and ordering process for our products would be painless for everyone in the future. as a way to celebrate our website's official launch, we've also decided to open up 50 more spots for the 3C. Same rules apply, limited to 1 order a person, extra plates are limited to 1 per material. We will be unlocking the site at 2200 GMT+8 16/4/20. hexkeyboards.com

Any 60% PCBs will work. Our case is designed to work with our plate only.

So I see there are new spots available today but the link doesn't work yet?
And also what is the price for this if shipped to EU? :)

Looks like it was opened up and then closed quickly. New winners were announced on Discord.

Edit: there's something weird in that URL. Go to https://hexkeyboards.com/ instead.
