Any updates on the Deluxe/Luxury version?

Think it will be late this year.
ALF decided to take his time in designing the deluxe. That said, the deluxe will be really good but likely costs 350 upwards.

Oof that price tag. I guess he will have to come up with something really good to justify that. Certainly above a lot of people's expectations.

Hi guys, after 2 weeks brainstorming, there is the Deluxe draft design.(Top casing not only HHKB layout, standard and wkl will be available also)
3 things i want to hear from your guys:
1) The DC60 weight looks too big from the bottom view, how do you think?
2) Side view i am good, what is your words?
3) I am considering about add some LED :D

1) Agree, too big
2) While I appreciate some side hole to lift the keyboard, the design is still a bit off this time.
3) no LED pls
>>>> IS IT TOP MOUNTED? SAY YES PLS

1) Too big from the outside. Condense the characters together and make it smaller. Keep the size of the inserts on the inside.

2) Looks good to me.

3) Depends on how you wanna add it. So no opinion yet.

Yes, that's why it won't come any time soon...better to design something really lux to justify its name and price tag.

DC60 is actually really good. I am no longer interested in the Lux version now. 65% may be the way to go for the Lux.

Agree with you on 65, there’s more than enough good 60 cases out there (including DC60).

Indeed, it will be manufactured by ALF.
