So hard to say without knowing the lighting setup. Likely it's cool harsh fluorescent lighting, might give everything a blue tinge. Ano is hard to photograph accurately because of it's reflective properties.

I understand photographing things can be difficult. I'm just trying to get an idea of what to expect with the grey version. Despite my criticisms and disappointment at colour choices, I fully intend to try and get in on this board. But I was learning towards silver over grey, unless this is almost like a charcoal grey which it looks like in the pictures.

Will you have more photos available before the GB?

I highly recommend avoiding this GB if cannot be satisfied unless a certain shade of grey.
My prototype unit is currently on its way back following display at Maker Faire Tokyo, after which it will be quarantined for a while to disinfect thoroughly. Therefore, it is unlikely that I will be able to photograph the board before GB, especially in enough specific lighting conditions to convey to you the exact shade of the board through your monitor.

I'll be avoiding it now due to your arrogance. Which ultimately won't matter in the end, but it's gross how slight criticism towards something results in this kind of response from not only community members, which I can expect, but the actual designers.

Imagine responding this way to someone who would like a bit more info before dropping $800 on a keyboard. Imagine getting upset that someone said this GB seems poorly planned when you won't even be able to show people when they are getting in one of two options you are providing.

You should imagine not being a nutjob first.

This thread is a great example of why some designers don't bother posting interest checks anymore.

Thankfully most people in this community get it, and appreciate what ai03 is tring to do with this keyboard.

Board looks great, ai03. Please ignore all this entitled whining being framed as mild criticism.

With the same weight as the Polaris and Vega have, combined with little seperation between the left and right side, the keyboard looks cheap to me. I'll be passing on this one, it's nice no doubt, it's just not for me.

All I want for christmas is feet better than bumpons
Make a longer ones plz. It makes big difference

What about 8° angle isn’t it a bit steep

I opted for bump-on style feet in this design due to their non-impeding visuals against the case design and isolation performance.
Typing angle will be your preference.

I recommend not buying this board if you do not like it.

@ai03, would it be possible to arrange for extra PCBs / plates to be available afterwards? I usually buy extra, but at this price, I may want to spread the expenses.

Just checked out Apiary's build and sound test of this and is it supposed to sound so muted? most people seemed happy with the sound but it didn't really sound good to me at all and that was without the foam...

I didn't say anything about hollow. It sounded really muted which I guess is preference if you like that. Looking at let's say a Keycult, you have more of a sound signature than just something silent.

boards can have plenty of acoustic characteristics, hollow is not necessarily the inverse of muted

This is honestly such a huge disappointment. I've been waiting on this since day one and even passing on other boards to have a $750 price tag and only silver/gray...I thought for sure there would at least be a black.

I think it's safe to say this one wasn't planned well and got away from designer at some point. :/

Just buy an 8x.

Plenty of keyboards don't sound muted but also don't sound hollow either. WeirdChamp

HI guys, it's tree leaf.

Something I'd like to say if you are complaining -

Nobody has taken your money yet. You should not feel offended.
The designer's view of the board doesn't match up with your expectations. If your expectations are high reaching, please buy a different board and stop whining.

Thanks!

ai03 is such an entitled *******, I want my PCB in PINK and PINK only! Not some CHEAP GREEN PCB! Oh also, this whole thing seems so so poorly planned, for 800$ I expected this keyboard to have a colour matched option to every single JWK switch released in the past year as well as ones that will be released in the next two years. I thought this board would cost $200 and I missed out on so many group buys because of you ai03, and you should be ashamed of that.  :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

This is honestly such a huge disappointment. I've been waiting on this since day one and even passing on other headphones to have a keyboard instead of Campfire Audio Andromeda 2020s, AND it also comes in TWO colors instead of just green? AND it's 200 dollars cheaper than the IEMs? How dare you. :100:

I can't agree with that. Theres a sharp clack, just not much resonance in the board. I think it sounds very nice, though I prefer louder boards I can respect that sound vs the borderline annoying sounding ultra muted keyboards that sound like gentle taps. Plus she doesn't seem like a fast typer or a heavy typer. It would sound a lot different with more force in bottoming out. That said, I do wanna hear it with faster, less controlled typing. If it still sounds great with hard bottom outs then good job to ai.


edit: watched rest of VOD, I think it sounds great. Gonna be honest though, I don't like how it looks, but that's super subjective.

I'm disappointed this only comes in WKL but hey, guess what... the group buy isn't being run for me personally and I haven't handed over any money so I'm owed nothing. Plus it saves me money :D On the bright side if you don't like this there are PLENTY of other GBs running all the time. In the meanwhile I will cross my fingers for a full winkey / non-WKL run of this in the future but if that doesn't happen it's all good.

One last update regarding extra part details:

Extra PCB kits (Main PCB, extra daughterboard, and interconnect cable) will be available at 60USD per kit.
Obviously, base kit will include one set of the listed parts.

Extra plates (and corresponding gaskets) will be available in the following variants:
- Aluminum, black (+45USD)
- Polycarbonate, smoky black (+40USD)
- FR4, black (+35USD)
The stock plate included in base kit is aluminum as a very balanced option between sound and feel.

Do we have a chance to add after ordering a kit or do extras have to be added at the time of ordering? Excited for sale!

Hi,

Noobie here. Really stoked about this board. May I ask what's the Deskey site for the Andromeda GB? I know its on the Deskey TaoBao store but I can't find the store.
Appreciate if anyone can direct me to the site/page/link.. Thank you.

Kevinplus (of Deskeys) stated on their Discord server that they will be releasing the link at the last minute at their server and my own to avoid the listing getting botted.


Also, ETA for delivery has been set to May 2021 for the time being.

Man this is so discouraging when you follow a build for months, set your calendar and alarm up to remind you, then wait in a digital que for 5 minutes only to get a message that it’s been sold out.  I thought for sure at this price I would have a chance to get to a page we’re I could at least be able to put in my credit card info.
