yeah, that's the spoiler probably. That's the old IC. The text up top is the revised IC.

Why the choice of a small brass weight instead of a large one?


Mainly because I prefer the aesthetics of a smaller weight. Plus, I would rather the cost be a little bit lower. And the weight is already at 2.94 pounds, without a PCB, caps, or switches. Or any screws, for that matter. There comes a point where a board is just too heavy, and I would like to avoid that.

I second this. Unless the pcb design is aesthetically superior to the brass plate, which often is not.

Makes sense! I forgot to add that as an option in the strawpoll.  :-[

I think that's the best thing to go with right now. The pcb isn't fantastic, and a lot of traces run straight above the arrow keys. Hence, a solid brass plate in those areas is gonna be the best bet.

I would totally join the GB when it comes around.  This combines two types of cases that I want to try into one.  A PC case and a gasket mount case.  I am really excited for this one.  :D

Sorry for missing this! Right now my plans are to have one option, which is sandblasted brass. That way, fulfillment will be significantly easier. I want to minimize the opportunity for mistakes in fulfillment on my part.

Correct me if I am mistaken but the PC case will have kind of a milky hue just like the E6.5 does, right? The renders show it to be clearer than it actually will be, right?

Yup, it should be similar in aesthetics to the e6.5!

Hi there! Extremely new to this forum so excuse me if I'm not following some sort of procedure, but I'm definitely interested in this case. Would you be supplying the PCB as well? I was thinking about purchasing Hineybush's h87alps board but if you're already supplying the PCB, I guess I wouldn't need to!

You're all good! ALF will be supplying the PCB for this board. It's mid mounted USB-C. There's a lot of other cool features in this PCB too, like an SMD mounted RGB caps lock LED. Expect the PCB outline to be open sourced too, if not the entire PCB. Unfortunately I'm not the designer of the PCB, so I don't know if it'll be possible to open source all of the PCB.

Yup, that was a mistake. I have decided to go with no cutouts. I prefer the aesthetic of the brass underneath the polycarbonate than the PCB.

Great choice imo. Also, I've read about polycarb finishes in the THINK6.5 interest check thread. Any thoughts about possibilities?

The space between Esc and F1 appears noticeably wider than the other F row breaks, as I see often in renders. Will this be the same on the physical case?

That is the standard layout, F1 directly over 2 with 1u between Esc and F1 and then 0,5u between F blocks themselves.

With how poorly ALF boxes have gone in the past (ie. month long delays to fix the boxes for the Renova X3, please don't do custom boxes.

If anything I've learned from the ALF GB's I've participated in, keep it as simple as possible expect MASSIVE delays and expect a product that won't fully meet your expectations (at least on the first try).

Thanks for letting me know about that. Right now, ALF seems to have learned a lot, and has moved to a new location too. I'd like to see how he'll do this time.

The basic plate is Brass. There won't be a whole lot of options. Mainly just MX/alps, and a halfplate or a full plate for MX.

This looks great, I'm deciding between this and the KBD8X MKII but leaning more towards this due to gasket mount, Would you also do a matching numpad in the future?
