This looks really good. Excited to see what the HHKB will look like.

Yep - HHKB and WKL tops on order for the proto

Lovely board. Probs the best 60% I've seen.
Personally like to have arrow keys and a few extra (65%) but I guess that's too similar to the J-01.
GL with this and your ongoing IC for the keyset!

Not sure if I'll have the money (guessing $350 at least?) but this is gorgeous, and offers a lot of what I'd be looking for.

Split shift, split backspace are my new loves, and the mounting mechanism is something I've never experienced. Aesthetics are on point, and a CF plate would be new to me.

This is easily one of the most beautiful 60% I've seen! That bottom row is a deal breaker for me though.

Dunno if it's a bit late but any chance to have the option for a piece of brass to sit flush with the top for the rail portion? Just started watching the vod. Pretty excited.

edit - seems like you are looking into it

beekey · « **Reply #69 on:** Mon, 30 September 2019, 07:05:32 »

This looks very cool. Liked the build video. Is there anything special about the PCB, beside connector? Width, thickness, etc.? Probably due to the gaskets. So we could not hack other standard 6% PCB to fit, right?

Other PCBs would not fit due to the mounting system and also the USB ports. Other than that it’s standard thickness.

There will be two raffled for charity soon! One will be a $5 raffle entry with unlimited tickets and drawn by RNG. The second will be a blind bid - highest bidder takes it. All proceeds to charity, and I’ll match both events cent for cent. The charity will be the hospice that looked after my mum in her final days earlier this year.

If there is sufficient feedback on the form for split space bar it may get added to the PCB but it won’t form part of the plate design (although I’ll of course make the plate files avail)

Would it be possible to see a render with split space? I potentially might be for it with this board even though I like the clean design as is.

I was searching for typing tests for trash pandas and came across your Youtube video of a kbd board with a carbon fiber plate and trash pandas. Just what I was looking for. Loved the video. Carbon fiber sounds so good with trash pandas! Is this carbon fiber plate going to be a tough squeeze on trash pandas as well? Also, will there be dampening foam in the kit for this board?

It will be a tight fitting plate but will work with any MX switches.

No case foam with the board as it goes against my vision for what the board should be, but I'll make a file avail for anyone to purchase some cut to size using a service like MKUltra.

Hey folks update on the GB!

GB still set for Feb - exact dates/times and prices to be announced early in the new year - Upas is currently working on those with Mykeyboard.eu

Colours!! So after taking into consideration the feedback provided off the form there will be some changes. Space grey (see the image in this post) was incredibly popular. So I’ll be bringing that into the standard edition.

Standard Edition - brass pen rail, brass mod section. Choice of Space Grey or Black case (too and bottom)

Limited Edition - e-white or e-black and Copper for a more premium finish. The copper will be available coated to prevent patina or not. There will be 10 to 12 of these available.

Case styles! WinKeyLess was by far the highest voted for option - nearly 700 of you picked that. In second place was a straight 60 top and then finally just 4% wanted a HHKb; as such, to keep SKUs low we will be only offering WKL and 60 tops.

I’ll release all the stats on the form completions soon; and massive thanks to the 800 or so folks that completed it

Despite me launching my own store recently; contracts will still be honoured and MyKeyboard will run the EU/RoW orders for this board with Upas covering the US. I’ll manage the Limited Edition orders directly on Prototypist.net.

Any questions - please let me know!!
