[IC] Evolv | A four year journey complete

[baobaozi]

I would also support a hotswap fixed ANSI! I would love it with underglow

[brehski]

This board is going to be HYPE!

[TibtibThePrincess]

This is way over my budget but damn does it look good. I will keep an eye out if there ever will be a more budget friendly one with the same layout because this is endgame material!

I don't want to hijack this thread, but here are two budget friendly options since it has been asked many times and people are interested in the layout.

KK75 Groupbuy Open until End of June

KY-01 Interest Check Phase Prototype Ordered

Do you know of any other options with a rotary knob?

I could possibly stomach the >$800 pricetag but I don't fancy my chances in a raffle

These are not quite the same layout, as they don’t use the 1.5u right shift to get the perfectly aligned right column, which is IMO the main attraction of the Evolv’s layout.

Also, no F13.

If the layout of those two boards works for you there’s also the forthcoming KBDfans Bella.

Does anyone know the estimated price range? I think you should prioritize cheaper packaging to reduce the overall price.

It'll be cheaper than the first revision.

[Lenux]

The new design is less artistic but soo original, i love it.


Really waiting for prototypes and see how it will looks, good luck

Agreed. There are currently no other 75% keyboards that offers this exact layout. I hope to see more keyboards use it in the future.

What was the estimated price for the first revision?

Under $1,000. No specific price was given.

Agree. Nathan will you consider sending mine (if i win) like this?

Unfortunately not, just worked out a deal with the Museum of London to ship every Evolv in this:

Nathan you're a mad mad. gib! Question though, any chance you can release details about the knob so we can customize our own? ^__^

[LolChocotaco]

I wanted to build a 65% as my next keyboard. But this is too good to pass up.

[Romutulus]

800 is pretty hefty, but I would need to be given the chance to pay for them. Any chance of increasing the production numbers? I don't really know how many people are out there for this, but I would assume getting in the 50 slots would be somewhat difficult (especially since I've yet to win a single raffle).

Just gotta hope that this is the raffle you finally win. I have terrible luck with raffles also... Gotta win one eventually! XD

Dang, that looks nice!!

That looks amazing.

[zandegran]

Hi, will there be a metal version?

[NathanAlphaMan]

Yeah, the GB version of the board will be metal.

[zandegran]

Yayyy! That will be sick.. thanks for clarifying

This looks so amazing! Any plans for a numpad?

Do you mean a standalone numpad? Not as of right now.

[zoo]

Definitely different, wish the generative aesthetic was taken to the extreme and used more throughout the board.

Evolv Giger edition when

Will PC also be an option along with alu? Im really liking the looks of the proto!

[NathanAlphaMan]

Unlikely, PC is great for protos because printing it is cheap compared to printing Alu or investing into molds. By doing a short run of printed PC boards, I can verify everything is perfect with the design before getting the molds built.

Man, that PC proto is 🔥!  You should totally consider running that alongside the metal version, for real!

Full PC boards will be exclusive to the protos. I may consider doing PC bottoms for the GB if I'm unsatisfied with the molded version once I get those protos.

aluminum all the way

[outlawdsx]

This keyboard made me log back in after a very, very long time. What is the best way to follow this and make sure I can enter the raffle when it finally happens?

This thread and my discord (linked in OP) are by far the best way to keep up with progress.

[kancharlap3]

is this going to come with a rgb pcb or just a regular pcb? also, where do you get mold for stuff like this from?

PCB will have RBG underglow. You make the molds for stuff like this.

[Surefoot]

Definitely in since it now supports ISO. Even with just a plate file it will be fine I really like the unique looks, and the sandwiched CF plate.

[kancharlap3]

do you know how many of these are going to be made for the group buy? and on what website
also since this is a really expensive board, do you think that you would be able to include some keyboard foam

Quantity is TBA. i will be fulfilling the board myself. And the keyboard is designed to be used without foam.

[kancharlap3]

hey, could we see the side view of the PC case or is it that pic only for the teaser?

[NathanAlphaMan]

Until I receive the board in hand, that teaser is the only picture I'll be showing.

[perry4761]

Buddy I will enthusiastically trade my first born child with no hesitation for that PC board. I don't care what I have to do, I'll do it because I need it. What are your terms?

There may be an opportunity for a member of the public to get a proto Evolv. Stay tuned on my discord server for that.

[sweepingbottle]

What are the keycaps in the render in the 1st post? The matte finish makes them look similar to the GMK Modern Dolch 2
