I love this board and am going to be in the buy. In the interest of feedback, the only thing I would change is probably a bit too difficult at this point... but I'm not a fan of the gap between the spacebars and the lights there.

I'd do something like this:

What are the dimensions of the keeb?

Basically 31x9.5cm. Hope those two pictures help:

Would you guys happen to have the layout for the keyboard? I was hoping to figure out the keycap sizing. I am absolute ass at eyeballing it.

Yeah was also wondering about that gap and the 3 leds between the spacebars. Was the thinking that when you look down at the keeb, you'll see those leds between your hands?

If those leds are there, can it be turned off or disabled? I've seen instances of electronic equipment where the leds are too bright and can be quite a distraction. Not sure whether will it be in this case.

You will probably have to join a group buy for keycaps that you like, that is running right now or soon. Another option is to try to buy second hand, although that can be significantly more expensive depending on the set.

This keyboard uses a few non standard sized keys, mainly the 2.25 and 2.75 spacebar keys and the 1.75 ANSI enter. Most keycap sets today are offered with a base option which covers the most standard keyboard sizes and with optional sets you can purchase, for example a spacebars kits will often have these spacebars that you need, or there will be a 40s set for small factor keyboards. Make sure that the 1.75 unit ANSI enter is provided, or a similar key (maybe novelty) is being offered, because sometimes even these optional kits won't offer it (and sometimes it's offered in the base kit, you will really have to check the specific keycap set that interests you).

I've been watching IC for a long time and thought its base plate was brass. However, today we checked the vendor to participate in GB and found that it is provided with an aluminum plate and cannot be replaced with brass.Should it be purchased additionally? I am unhappy that I have to buy two plates to choose brass. (It's the IC's maximum of $350, so why did the base plate become aluminum?) And if it's an aluminum plate, does it come in color to match the case? I'd appreciate it if you could give me more accurate data. I tried to participate in it, but it is now pending.

Yeah the GB is live on vendors but no real update here from the OP that it’s live and that the default plate is now aluminium etc - it doesn’t fill me with a lot of confidence.

I trust my local vendor so I assume they’ve got some faith and a bit more communication (maybe that’s some false hope?), but it’d be nice to see it here as well.

I was also a bit annoyed that the default plate was not brass or even that I could choose.  I ordered an additional plate as well but it felt unnecessary.

Yeah I asked about the default plate about a week ago and there hasn't been a response from OP. There's no GB thread or subchannel in the 40s discord either. The lack of communication during the GB stage is a little off putting.

Hey guys, sorry for the lack of attention to this thread. There were a few IRL events that I had to overcome, but I am here now and will be throughout the rest of the GB process. I will start to address individual questions but feel free to hit me up on Discord as well at fcoury | mrkeebs.com#0001.

I've been watching IC for a long time and thought its base plate was brass. However, today we checked the vendor to participate in GB and found that it is provided with an aluminum plate and cannot be replaced with brass.Should it be purchased additionally? I am unhappy that I have to buy two plates to choose brass. (It's the IC's maximum of $350, so why did the base plate become aluminum?) And if it's an aluminum plate, does it come in color to match the case? I'd appreciate it if you could give me more accurate data. I tried to participate in it, but it is now pending.

What vendor did you try to buy it from. We have brass as the default plate, so there must be a misunderstanding. Please let me know and I'll check it for you.

Yeah the GB is live on vendors but no real update here from the OP that it’s live and that the default plate is now aluminium etc - it doesn’t fill me with a lot of confidence.

I trust my local vendor so I assume they’ve got some faith and a bit more communication (maybe that’s some false hope?), but it’d be nice to see it here as well.

The default plate should be brass, I am talking with all the vendors to try to iron this out but I will keep you all posted.

Can't speak for OP, but got mine from Project Keyboard. Just checked again after reading your replies and it looks like the page was updated to mention that the kit is shipping with brass.

Not sure why, but mine is still showing up Alu for Project Keyboard

Plate: Aluminum 6063
Mounting Style: Top mount.

Love the eccentricity of this board.  I'm in a bit of a battle with myself over the loss of the last 2 alpha columns (;'{}./).  Normally that's a deal breaker, but I like this design enough I might go for it anyway.

Any plans for Eloooongate R2 with another column or two?

All the vendor I checked are marking it as basic inclusion of aluminum plates. If that's not true, you'd better fix it quickly. (There must be someone who has placed unnecessary additional orders to get hold of brass plates.) After seeing your answer, I checked some vendors again, but they have not been modified. It is marked with aluminum. For example, Project Keyboard, Daily Clark, etc. As far as I've checked, all vendors.
