I’d definitely pick this up

[Slash Emperor]

Definitely interested. For color, what about an "elephant gray", to keep with the theme?

[Hedgey]

No question I'm in for this.

[slxdegrees]

Any difference between this and r1?

Love the clean smooth top, so I wonder how the top-right badge would go

A good, deep purple would take this from a “maybe” to a “hell yeah” for me

[breckstar]

Missed out on R1. Would be stoked to get in on R2.

E-cyan/light blue like cerakote Robbins egg would be prime.

R1 supports ISO so this version shouldn't be different in that regard.

I'm really fan of this design.

Just one wish, is it possible to add to the thread the price for shipping to some regions: US, EU, Asia.. As it's not a light board I guess shipping will not be so cheap therefore people would be interested.

Thanks

I don't understand.  Is this a list of new things for this round?  Do you have any sketches or mockups to show what you mean by RGB curved? 

[GarrettSucks]

Please please please please do not add a badge to the top of this and ruin the incredibly smooth and clean aesthetic. I would also not enjoy RGB on this either.

I am sort the suggestion then will change the design
rgb curved is beside the top of  F row

[iaman]

Do you have any sketches or mockups to show what you mean by RGB curved?

I *think* it's the indicator (pictured unlit, it's a bit tough to see) between the left function macros and the rest of the board but I'm not entirely sure.

[eyedrop]

I agree with Garrett, no nametag please.

And e-white/e-black?

[keimura]

I'm not sure how big a change you are willing to make to the design but here is my 2cents.

-I think having a smaller layout (hhkb like but keeping the function column to the left) with the huge bezels would be really interesting. The contrast between the case size and key number would be fun.
-I don't care much for anything rgb and am neutral to whether it's there or not. If it is there then I would prefer underglow or a vertical line between the main layout and the functions.
-Actually, if you are going to add a name plate maybe add it in between the main layout and the function keys and accentuate it with rgb around it?

Whatever happens I'm supper pumped for r2!

[Starius]

The name plate option is definitely one difference.

[ihalatch]

OMG, the elephant! Please, make a white one like in the first run. I'm in.

[KLÜTZ]

I am in the boat of not adding a badge. I think part of the S7's aesthetic is the smoothness and the simplicity. I think a nametag would disrupt that. Should you still want a nametage, I think it could go well on the back of the keyboard, where it is still present, but it would not break up the theme on the top.

[DukeEsquire]

Looking forward to it!

Sidenote: Are you sure that you want to keep the price at $350? I though I heard that you ended up taking a loss on the first run.

[InvidiousIgnoramus]

Hmmm, do I REALLY need a second one? Methinks yes! Especially if there is a fixed layout plate option.

I think jacky offered MAO for R1, I think e-white would be better in terms of white.

[SeriousBG]

I am definitely interested! can't wait for more updates

I second this as well! Please keep it simple as before!! For colors I would also like to see an elephant gray like from R1 if possible. I think it would go really well with this. And please no RGB lol. Thanks!

"People", being me, and pretty much only me. R1 was an extremely slow seller, and I'm surprised it managed to make MOQ at all. Outside of my all brass unit Ja3soteric and the silver one TaehaTypes assembled, pretty much none of the units have been seen by people. I still have seen relatively little interest in the board, and I'd very much expect you to have plenty of time to pick one up. This is not something that will sell out in minutes.

Yes, because it will sell out in seconds.

No. No, it won't.

1/ The fact R1 sold out slowly doesn't mean this one will - people talking about the board, TaehaTypes' video on it, etc. Those are all things that will make people want this board.
2/ "pretty much none of the units have been seen by people" - that doesn't mean anything, I mean, your sentence. I'll go and assume you mean almost none of the units have been seen in the wild which is a good sign to me since that means that the owners like their board and don't want to let it go.
3/ "I still have seen relatively little interest in the board" - there weren't many boards produced in R1, so not a lot of people post about it, true. That said, people comment and seem to like the board when it's posted/when it appears on stream. I'd like to see what you base your statement on.

[rowie]

Love it! Agree with others who recommended no name tag please.  Love the simplicity. I’d love a nice clean e-white since any keycap you put on it will look good. Excellent job so far.

1/ the times it HAS appeared it's been mostly ridiculed by people, because most find the bezels impractically large. Indeed, I needed to make a much taller wrist rest in order to type in mine comfortably at all. It's overall dimensions are quite a lot larger than a TKL, meaning it's a hard sell to anyone actually liking smaller form factor boards. The lack of keys make it less desirable to those who typically use boards of this size.

2/ Yes, I meant seen in the wild. And no, I was NOT referring to for sale. I mean actually seen in person by non-owners. I can't think of a single example that has yet appeared at a Meetup, unless Nathan took his to Seattle this year.

3/ I still don't see enough interest in this board to warrant the idea of it selling out in "seconds", let alone hours. I'm basing my statement off of when I see it posted somewhere. It's too much of a novelty to have large appeal. Even with a 50 unit limit, I don't expect this to sell in the first day.

Yes, e-white will be great. Can you also make the plate more recessed into the case so the bottom edges of the caps disappear in the body of the case?
