Would you be willing to post a picture where we can see the side profile of the /dev/tty caps with the board?

Hi,

Is this a Top Cover mount PCB Plate? Is it enough screw holes on the Plate?
Cause from what i see, the screw holes are only located on the left, right and bottom of the Plate.
Will the number row have enough support, since there is no screws to hold on to.

I love to join, but need to know if the keyboard will hold strong, without flimsy feel when bottom out.

Thanks.

It is top mount yes, And the revised plate has holes in the middle as well. Actually even with the middle screws it is very firm, not flimsy at all. But I will take a picture of the new plate soon (or Potter may be able to share soon).

[factoryofidols]

Finally decided on color and got a gray on gray with blue badge, extra brass badge, brass plate and extra PCB. My first group buy outside of massdrop so I'm pretty excited!

Black -red is a classic combo :)

[Jaxxstatic]

Here’s my plan/order:
Black top
Red bottom
Silver badge
GMK Jamon (would do GMK Burgundy if I had more than just the Hangul alphas)

I was able to weigh a prototype built with everything default (cf plate, Alu badge):

It’s 1309 grams (in reference, Whitefox is ~800grams)

That's actually quite light. (I take it thats with the carbon fiber plate tho?) I imagine a brass plate/badge will increase it a smidge.

It actually doesn’t feel light, probably similar as a Canoe.

I have a few Alf boards those were super heavy haha.

Yes adding brass plate and possibly brass badge will increase weight a lot. Carbon fiber is lightest material on keyboard  even lighter than PC I think

Just got my invoice, awesome! The only thing is I requested an extra PCB and not the brass badge. Can you fix invoice 0126? Thanks!

Honestly, after seeing this image, I think my red case will go well with pretty much anything.
You can say I'm pretty hyped for SPACE65!

I love red/black/gold combo

Maybe that’s why GMK Red Samurai is my all time favorite set (so far)

[Zyrophr]

I went silver on silver with blue and brass badge, but I still don't know if black looks better than silver...
I have some enjoyPBT Hiragana Sushi to put on the silver, but none would match the black case...

Should I change for black ?...

Aaaaa

It looks as if your flipped spacebar might hit the bezel, does it?

Looks very good on the bottom plate design, there is more area to support and contact with top cover.
However, for the left and right sides, can the design be alter to be similar to the bottom, or at least having wider area surrounding the screw hole, to assure more support and contact area with the top cover.

Thank you

Should be pretty easy to implement I think? Let’s talk to Potter in discord about this potential improvement

Personally I think the less support the better for some extra flex but that’s just my opinion.

[mrpetrov]

In, can't wait.

[oldcat]

Let’s be vigilant against potential scammers impersonating Potter. If anything, Graystudio will not dm you in discord and ask you to send money to a PayPal account. He will send an invoice. If you are unsure feel free to dm him before paying.

Here is a screenshot, I hope it’s just a normal user, but it’s suspicious

Last day of the GB!
Potter said invoices may go out a little later, for those joined most recently

By the way, can Zeal PCB screw-in stabs be used here?

Pretty sure it shouldn't be a problem. GMK screw-in has been tested, maybe we can ask Potter to test the transparent screw-in stabs which should be identical as the zeal one?

Hey man you are doing a great job. Always happy that designer tries his best to lower cost for buyers (in other words, not charging crazy premiums for limited slots.)

Now hopefully you can deliver the spaceships on schedule without errors I’m sure it will take a lot of effort

And now we wait...

Out of curiosity, anybody has an idea who handles this SF Express shipping in Europe? Is it regular post, EMS post or some other courier?

[PhreshPrinceOfChinaTown]

Since the GB is winding down (form not closed yet?), I've Updated my 'Colour Data' Post above.

[moltenmuffins]

Glad to see the project do so well. Can't wait for the boards to ship!

Out of curiosity, anybody has an idea who handles this SF Express shipping in Europe? Is it regular post, EMS post or some other courier?

I have only one experience with SF Express, but my packet went to Netherlands first using PostNL when it entered Europe (I am in France) and then it was my local regular postal service.

But for me it is taxed for sure anyway. EMS, local post, UPS or whatever. It is really rare I don't get taxed no matter who it is.

Thanks, if it's the regular post then it depends on the value that was declared and on luck. Worst case is 19% VAT on the full value. Anyway, if this KB turns out as awesome as the pictures suggest it will be worth it.
