Sexy sexy board. Hope we can have an EU vendor
Q: Split space support / ISO?
QuoteQ: Split space support / ISO?How did this plan out? Is there going to be split spacebar support?
Hi folksI expect for there to be vendors for most major regions. I'll be adding regional vendors to the main post when I've confirmed with them.Since I'm bumping anyway, here's a build stream of an earlier run of Moment! Big thanks to lulzthax for sharing the VOD. However, this uses an alternate PCB (Moment is compatible with many universal 60% JST PCBs) as well as features some finishes that won't be offered in the GB.Thanks.

treeleaf probably started designing a board, got a couple of quotes, and now he thinks he knows the manufacturing costs of every board he sees on geekhack
and how did you work this out?

Sub 300 per board for 850 units, with vendor margin ==> remaining goes to profit
That blue looks gorgeous under some lighting!
I want
Glad its finally happening, I do hope I will have the cash in time.
Howdy sir, I don't want to get into any specifics about speculation on pricing, but there is a really big miscalculation in your estimate - I can confidently say that even if this group buy performs exceptionally (which is not a guaranteed bet with the current state of the keyboard market), the number you've reached is several multiples way too high. Just wanted to address the comment vaguely, so folks won't feel they are paying an unfair price.
got to try one of these yesterday, cannot hype it up enough. really great sound, typing experience, and aesthetic
I am 100% happy with my Moment. I wish you luck on the full GB! wish I had extra funds for that purple but I'll be sitting this one out and waiting on the derivative.
What extra plates would you recommend getting?
I personally am a huge fan of the full polypropylene - it feels the most well-rounded of all the plate options IMO (totally subjective).

I love the side profile of this keyboard, but I wish the bottom weight could've been a screwless design.Does the base kit come with the Gasket Kit and Dampening Kit or do I need to purchase them separately?
Hello everyone!Some announcements and updates on the upcoming buy beginning this Saturday.0. To reiterate, the sale will be opening at Cannonkeys this Saturday, 11AM ET. Check with your vendors for more specifics on their sales! IMO, the best place to get instant information for this would be vendor Discord servers (list below). I will be updating this thread when I have the confirmed times for all regions.In the meantime, I'd suggest keeping up to date or directing vendor-specific questions to the following:US: Cannonkeys (https://discord.com/invite/DKpykqYKAe)CA: Deskhero (https://discord.gg/2utk39S)EU: mykeyboard (https://discord.mykeyboard.eu/)UK: Prototypist (https://discord.gg/qm944aC)AS: ILUMKB (https://discord.gg/52kkJ28)AU: Switchkeys (https://discord.gg/switchkeys)1. Because the full polypropylene plate was a core element to the original run of Moment, Cannonkeys and other participating vendors will be adding the option for buyers to upgrade the base kit's plate option from FR4 to full polypropylene. This way, full PP enjoyers will not have to pay for a whole extra plate and leave the FR4 plate to waste, instead just opting for the upgrade. Please check with your designated regional vendors for the specifics on this.2. Due to a slight delay in latest prototype units arriving, in addition to prior-planned scheduling, build streams (alexotos, LightningKeyboards, Lulzthax) will be most likely be coming during the first week of the buy (Oct 1 - Oct 7). This means there will not be the typical array of content leading up to the sale date. To look at it with a glass half full, that basically guarantees anyone that has been following this project for a while and is interested in picking one up will get their board! That being said, there's a ton of media for this board online (thanks to that R0 run!): https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=moment+jjw3. To clarify, the hotswap PCB is a fixed layout. Tsangan bottom row, split right shift, split backspace, full caps. Solder PCB is Tsangan bottom row, options for split right shift, split/full backspace, stepped/full caps. Plates are similar - ISO users, split space users, etc. should have custom plates cut later on. These layouts are not supported by the stock PCB, but Moment is fully compatible with PCBs like the Wilba WT-60 (with JST), and Hineybush H60 (default JST position). Plate files WILL be released closer to fulfillment date.4. Here's a quick shot of the two colored prototypes I recently got in-hand.DUSK PURPLEShow ImageDAWN BLUEShow ImageDAWN BLUE SIDE PROFILEShow ImageExcited to get this ball rolling! Any unanswered questions, please feel free to ask.
Wait, disregard previous post. What happened to 1st October? I don't see any links anywhere, checked a couple vendors like MyKeyboard and nothing on their GB sites either
That being said, the gasket strips are included in the kit, but the dampening kit is a separate addon (case foam, plate foam, and pcb foam).
