like the design. but would like to see the logo replaced with a key.

My reasoning for having the blocker has been added to the FAQ

I’m down for a soft pink and sage green if there ever going to be any of those colors. If not then maybe blue?

Aside from the blue (might end up being blue/grey, not sure) I am wanting to have versatile colours so pink and green are unlikely sorry.

I'll be in on this if there is ISO compatibility, although, based on your reasoning for not doing split space bars, I don't imagine you'll ISO support.

No ISO support, unfortunately. I'll add this point into the FAQ.

Would be super interested in a polycarb version if possible!

There won't be a polycarb version because the internals is quite complicated and isn't meant to be seen.

Quote from: gotemall on Mon, 27 May 2019, 14:05:00

I like the top and bottom of the board, but like a couple of others have said, Not feeling that "Gap" in the back of the board at all.

It's here to stay, sorry. I've added my reasoning in the FAQ

Quote from: breakbeatzors on Mon, 27 May 2019, 16:16:35

Yep, I'd absolutely be in for the E-coat white.

E-coating might not happen depending on the manufacturer. I'll provide an update on this as soon as I find out what options are available.

Quote from: zekth on Mon, 27 May 2019, 17:13:43

i'm really into the black one! is a red prototype planned?

Although I've dismissed the idea of pink and green in the reply above due to them not being versatile colours to match with keysets, I've been thinking about a deep red as a possibility since Wilba seems to like red.

Hello, hello, hello! I’m also from NZ and fairly new to the mech keeb scene. It’s great to find out there’s a talented kiwi designer in the scene. Would love to support you and buy this as my first “high-end” customs!

Thanks! If you are from Auckland, we have just had our second keyboard meetup and will be planning more events in the future. We have a shared discord with Australia here: https://discord.gg/cuh62BY

I like the layout design and the logo, but I don't like the gap between the bottom weight and the case.

As per the reply above, I've added my reasoning in the FAQ.

MOON · « **Reply #102 on:** Mon, 27 May 2019, 20:43:14 »

I love the logo and the back plate. I have a xeno on the way so if I love the 75% I will definitely jump in on this.

mrpetrov · « **Reply #103 on:** Mon, 27 May 2019, 21:13:27 »

Been mulling over this one for a couple of days. Super layout and I'm excited to see the pcb and mounting system. In!

1.5mm but it will be stiffer than usual due to how it is mounted.

The logo is very cool, definitely liking the design of it. I kind of wish there is something on top of the right arrow key instead of pure empty space.

Can you tell us more about what you are trying to achieve with this keyboard in terms of feel and sound? Seems like you have a very specific goal because you talked about complicated internals and a new mounting method.

To achieve that extra key above the right arrow key, the column would need to be shifted an extra 0.25u to the right which makes it inconsistent with all the other separators. Also, not having that extra key there would be make it easier to find, almost like on a tkl.

Regarding sound and feel, it is meant to be like a consistent pcb mount feel with a deep, muted tone. We will see how that goes once I get a prototype in but I doubt I'd get it right the first try since the construction is bit different to other keyboards which makes it harder to predict.

Photoelectric · « **Reply #116 on:** Tue, 28 May 2019, 01:36:14 »

A color like LZ's "shine gray" (bright dip anodizing) would be excellent.

Evo_Spec · « **Reply #120 on:** Tue, 28 May 2019, 07:38:14 »

This board definitely interests me though depending on the timing of the GB or colors, I probably won't be able to enter it but I just wanted to let you know that I think this is a fantastic design and I love pretty much all aspects of it.
I'm neither here or there for the gap but your reasoning makes me satisfied with it but I LOVE the logo in the corner as I find a board gets very boring when it's just covered in keys.
The weight design is a simple straight line on the back but I love that it shows around the sides of the board.
The layout looks great and I love that the arrow keys are slightly away from everything else.

Nice work man.

FrostyBoi · « **Reply #121 on:** Tue, 28 May 2019, 08:56:24 »

Capsy · « **Reply #122 on:** Tue, 28 May 2019, 08:59:09 »

Love the design. The space to the right of the arrow cluster does kinda stick out (or maybe it's just reading all the comments lol). Could you possibly put in 3 LEDs on that space?

The empty space doesn't bother me, but to your idea, I think 3 LEDS arranged in a triangle or upside down triangle would look cool there

This is actually the layout that I started with based on which was the layout that 001anthony came up with but I decided to move away from it.

I finally got around to making a GH account just to follow this. Count me in for blue. I think the current shade is perfect, blue/grey doesn't appeal to me nearly as much.

Unlikely. Purple is a very flamboyant colour and is opposite to my preferences.

I don't think I'm too interested in a deep blueish green colour but I can show you what Wavez would look like rendered on the black which I think would look ok.
I think I'll do a couple of other renders like the blue with GMK Striker since I've already made keycap models of Kuro/Shiro.

Will probably work on these over the weekend.
Let me know what else you guys are interested in seeing.

The design looks incredible. It's kind of everything I want in a 75% - I'll be watching this with interest. The logo design is really sharp, and the isolated clusters make it unique from my other 75%. Echoing the above, would love to see how Hammerhead looks on this, particularly deep water edition.

Looks brilliant. I know you and wilba have worked hard on the mounting design, but I hope that won't severely impact yield rates and QC effort. This exterior aesthetic and layout is so crispy, I'd be happy with a top mount.
