In the IC you mentioned adding a nameplate and more features, did you end up doing that or is this a GB for a R2 of the same board, I would love to get the same board, if the changes were made do you have a pic of a render of what they look like? I have yet to see these changes and would like to base my decision on how the board looks if it does have these changes.We have keep the R1 design .
The kit says it comes with a "diffuser arylic". What is that for? The board doesn't have underglow lights (as far as I know).
Opinions on brass plate, is it worth it?

By the way, is the last picture with Modern Dolch the E-Black or Gray variant? I chose gray but I'm having second thoughts now.

Looks to be E-Black, if you look at R1, there are a lot of gray samples too .

Gotcha. I may be mistaken, but the album doesn't have Gray samples? The ones featured look to be black and silver.
What layout is the board that Taeha built?

I think it's block with arrow key. However, it is quite unclear.
So, to be clear...Yes
If I select the "WK" option, I'm able to have the seamless look without a blocker, correct?

Here is the R1 S7 elephant that Nathan built, with Kat Alpha.Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/m2W2kPo.jpg)
Some questions:
1) What are the dimensions?
2) Can the bottom side be used as a wrist rest or is it too narrow for that?
3) Are the function keys programmable (e.g. change to volume up/down)
4) What type of mounting method does this keyboard use? (e.g. integrated, top mount, etc)

1) Big. Very big. Bigger than a tkl, and approaching smaller 1800 layouts
2) No. It's much shorter than it looks, only the palm just below the fingers touches it
3) The entire board is programmable through QMK
4) the board is top mount, 8 points IIRC

Hey man, as a side note, I have to rib you a little bit. Remember when you said there was no way this would hit the limit so quickly?
EDIT: Jacky, it was not meant as something mean or bad. It was more of a joke and laughing with him not being mean to him.Get you mate .thank you !
To "Rib" in English means "to jokingly give a hard time".
I'm very happy to see R2 be so popular! That means you have a fantastic design and I hope you know that!
Also looking back at R1, I'm not sure if I want to edit my order to have a different color bottom. I know I want the grey top, but something about having that purple bottom seems kind of cool. Or even just a black bottom. Any thoughts?

Does anyone know if e-white feels smooth on the surface? I don’t have any e-white boards at the moment and I just want to make sure it won’t feel rough like a powder coating.

Hi jacky - first thanks for doing this R2! Second, seeing as I've got 1 chance to choose the colour now I was wondering if you could give an idea how different is the e-white and/or silver compared to the mao offered in R1? Having hard time choosing which colour to go for, they all look so good.
Anyone else who has an idea also welcome to give your thoughts.

MAO tends to look grayish. That was the de-facto "white" that was being offered before electrophoresis was being used/introduced.
Silver is done by anodization. You can take a look at the board Nathan build in the OP.
E-white is a smooth white surface done by the aforementioned electrophoresis method.
I don't know if this helps.

No round 3 and extras according to Jacky.
Somone have refund one spot without any reason .i am not online during vaction since not have vpn work .
very sad to me
Hey Jacky, just wanted to see if there will be any extra pcb's for sale once all the regular orders are filled?For sure
Ended up frying my PCB (electric discharge shock?) for my R1 S7, and man do I miss using that keyboard :-(

Has anyone had issues after flashing qmk?The firmware found in qmk is for the R1 pcb and won't work for R2. There's a PR for adding R2 support but it hasn't been merged yet. You could flash it with the code from the PR or a custom via firmware and use that for now.
Yesterday we built a brand new Elephant, it worked out of the box except some keys were mapped wired so I made a new qmk keymap and flashed it.
It flashes ok, but it won't register any key strokes and the leds are off.
I've tried to flash the default firmware from qmk but with the same result.
What am I missing? Do I need to jumper something on the pcb for using qmk?

Your only best is secondary market. Jacky already said no more rounds.
And this was round 2, also.
But, he said after round 1 that there wouldn't be another round.... until there was.
So *maybe* there will be a round 3? But next time he absolutely positively HAS to make a profit! ;D
Any chance for another round?
I literally found Jacky's discord today and this is what I see that there isn't going to be an r3. This is such a beautiful board. I am sad that I am a bit too late to jump on it.I feel your pain brother, but give it time. Eventually something very similar will come around, maybe even something better. Rama came out with a keyboard that was very similar.

... i don't care after all that whining.
I didn't think i was "sh***" on it, (becasue i wasn't, notice how nothing negative was said or implied about it...) just trying to make the point that "ergo", is nothing like this. The only thing they share is the same designer. And by "copy" i meant more "use an inspiration". You know. a 65%- 75% with 1 column of macro, and big bezels. Which is all this is... there is nothing especially unique about it.
I didn't mean taking the exact specs and measurements and everything. If someone wanted to "copy" exactly, they would obviously have to ask for permission 1st (if not legally, then morally).
I see absolutely nothing wrong with what i was putting forth: Someone else running a GB for a similar board, inspired by this one. I can't imagine why someone who doesn't want to release another round of something, EVER, would have a problem with someone doing a GB for a similar looking board. And you have not given logical reason they should. There is a demand for something they don't want to provide. so someone else should.
*"Mate it's just a keyboard, move on, you will survive without it and there is a lot of amazing keyboards around."* Ummm.... Well duh. What a silly thing to say.. I'm well aware of what this is lil buddy, and i don't really care either way. This aint my "end game" as the kids like to say, or anything. Just stating the fact that telling someone that wants THIS board, to "just support the designer" is silly and pointless.
*"(we had our second chance)" LOL! who is this "we"? You mean: The community at the time of the 1st group buy AND the 2nd group buy, had a "second chance." I think it's rather obvious that the majority of the people clamoring for this didn't even have a "1st chance" let alone a 2nd.
*"making another round after what he said would probably make mad someone who already bought in previous rounds," Sorry, but I simply refuse to believe the majority of people could possibly be that stupid.
*" Not making things again, again and again made this hobby large and overflowing of different keebs and products."* It's not an "either, or" thing my man. And most keebs suck.
*"Just respect the designer choice to not make the keyboard again and again wtf,"* Simmer down. The designer can do whatever they want, I don't care. If enough people want a board like this, someone will make it.

This guy is a real loser.
I typed this on my S7 Elephant.
Why would i care of you don't agree with simple facts? If you want to walk around being wrong, it aint no sweat off my back home slice.... i don't care after all that whining.
#whoosh
Yeah, you still don't get it. This is basically the only thing you said that I think the majority of us are going to agree with. Hahaha.
Please no bully.
I said someone should make a keyboard like this one. If they have no interest in doing so, how is that stealing? Did the designer of the Modern M0110 commit some immoral act? And they actually copied the design almost exactly something i went on to clarify i was not in support of. What's the difference? Time? Apple being a big bad corporation?Please no bully.
You literally asked someone to rip off this design. Not exactly in a position of moral high ground here.
That said, let's all just take a step back and let this conversation simmer.
