Actually, talked to Cannon Keys today and based on when these next protos are coming in, it is possible that this board may run near the end of September!

Wow, awesome news

Wow dude that is exciting stuff!
Im fully down for one of these.
Just wondering if there might be scope for a padded case finding it's way into the GB offerings?

briyun · « **Reply #154 on:** Tue, 01 September 2020, 10:41:28 »

is there any prototype available for the finishing?

I believe at the moment, the plan is for this board to offer a bag similar to the Iron 165

I'm not quite sure what your question is.

TonyPia · « **Reply #156 on:** Tue, 01 September 2020, 11:19:33 »

I'd be as much depressed as this Adelie if I miss this board.

werc · « **Reply #157 on:** Tue, 01 September 2020, 19:56:42 »

Really enjoyed the build stream. Fingers crossed that I can get in on the GB. Abec, am I right in guessing that the blue is your favorite color of the bunch?

You can't ask me to pick favorites. I like all penguins.

Are there any updates on this so far? Ah sorry, just saw it on the other page! Really excited!

The group buy is going to happen in the last week of this month.

The render of the red adelie if off compared to what I have here in hand. There is a proto of each color that will be available for group buy, so there will be photos of those to look at before we start!

guybrush · « **Reply #161 on:** Wed, 16 September 2020, 03:03:58 »

Excellent news! Limited or unlimited GB?

Abec13 · « **Reply #162 on:** Wed, 16 September 2020, 08:49:24 »

Limited, numbers will be announced later. Expected around 200 total boards.

Just saw that the red color was changed to 202C, bummer.

Will the navy blue be like Minterly's prototype build?

It's not really 202C anymore but there will be irl photos of the boards before GB of what the red does look like.

The blue will be exactly what was on Minterly's stream

The white and the red are going to be sharing the same PVD Brass, the render for the white board and the layout of the board have been updated to show this. And also to include my Islander set

Current Keyboards · « **Reply #181 on:** Sat, 19 September 2020, 23:07:45 »

I honestly love the way the board is assembled. Really slick design. Not a 50 person but if I was this would be an instabuy.

Hey everyone so I spent a ton of time today putting together protos for pictures.

I'm a little bit confused, for the white/red version the brass parts will be PVD Chrome or Sandblasted? Asking this cuz on the Minterly's review she said that it will be sandblasted but looking the latest renders it seems it would be PVD Chrome?

OP I just sent you a PM here on geekhack with a question (it contained some slightly private info so I didn't want to draw attention away from your thread? hahah), hopefully you'll see that sometime.

other than that, this board looks soooo incredible! One of my absolute favorites I've ever seen, especially for a sub-60. that said, I'll most likely try my best to cop one, then cry when I miss out LMAO

Is it possible to eliminate the mill marks in the "eye" of the logo? They are quite visible on all protos, Blue being is almost affordable, but the view of it on black is very annoying.

Nope any recessed faces on milled items will have that since it can't be polished. You will find this on any other board that employs this, take a look at the 7V.
