If you ever do future rounds of this or when you do your 65% board I would love to see split spacebar support.

Two things:
  • PCB is working. Components are being hand soldered and then it'll be on the way to me.
  • I started typing this a couple hours ago and forgot the other thing. I'll update when I remember it.

Backlighting as in in switch LEDs? Yeah. There aren't any LEDs on the bottom of the PCB as it'd be completely useless.

Last night didn't go so well. For some unknown reason, the parts aren't done yet. I'm sorry that I have to bring more disappointment here.

[2:51:50 AM] Anthony: if that is as soon, then yes that's ok
[2:52:28 AM] (cnc machining): i also hope we can ship them to you as soon as possible

This one really messes with me - I thought it was the end of production. I should receive them around May 15/16 now.

X75 is in that shipment. Pending no further delays, I'm aiming to release on May 18th now (such a specific date as it'd be my birthday).

If we manage to get in the First Edition, how long will we have to decide / confirm the colour choice? Or will it need to be stated upon ordering?

Very interested in this, I've just finished an alu / acrylic 75% and love the layout - this could be the start of an end game board.

P.S. shipping from the UK? Sorry if you've already mentioned..

Probably have 2 weeks maximum as I want to order parts ASAP.

I ship from the UK.

Have you got some color samples? I would like to see some different kinds of grey to be certain what to choose if I buy one.
And when is it estimated to ship?

I won't be receiving any color samples due to color variation between batches; it won't be accurate.

I'll try and have a couple of gray sample pictures sent over - I'd love to have a blue-gray or green-gray personally.

If you mean the prototype, it's in the mail and should be with me next week. If you mean the group buy, according to my schedule I should get the shipment on the 6th - 8th of July.

Few things to clarify:
  • A few people have messaged me asking if I'm selling any extras as they missed the group buy. It hasn't started yet :confused:
  • You can order different top and bottom colours
  • I refuse to start the group buy until I have the prototype in my hands, it's in shipment at the minute so very soontm
  • I'm not getting any color samples as they'll never be accurate to what you'd get anyway (unless its a standard color)
  • I'll be getting all 130 made, which means there will probably be stock afterwards (I'll try to get a nice proportion of parts/colours in the unordered parts)

Y'know what, I was hesitant on the design of this board and the X60 for a long time (I found it a little too simple I guess), but now I find that I'm really digging it. Especially the blocker on the 75% as I've been typing on a 75% for half a year now and I still can't get used to the crowded area of the arrow keys.

No update yet. I'll post here when I know something.

It's worth noting this so you're aware of my state: I was at the arena attack on Monday and the emotions of it all are catching up. If I'm not communicating very well, it's because my head is all over the place. If I'm modding switches because it's therapeutic, then I will be.

It's in the same shipment so it'll just turn up. A couple of weeks maybe? I can't do anything else but wait for them to be shipped and then arrive (using TNT Express [6-8 days apparently]).

I've got the first prototype PCB and still need to assemble it, looks good otherwise and I'll post some pictures when it's all soldered up.

I have a tracking number, but it doesn't work. According to the manu who talked to the courier, the tracking will work once it reaches the Netherlands, which should be any day now as its 6-8 days (and was picked up Friday). I'm just waiting around for proof that they're on the way.

Will launch this once X60s start arriving so people can gauge quality. I'd release it later, but I want to get the production run started ASAP.

Are all of the brass weights in the bottom engraves or are there some which are polished without any engravings?

All weights are sand blasted; polishing is just way too inconsistent as it's done by hand. The First Edition will be numbered (First Edition 00/30), the rest will have what you see here (but X75 instead).



The inside will feature just "X75".

Awesome! Has there been clarification on what entails "any anodizing color"? Is there a color code chart? Also, what's the chance of adding blue or green to the standard edition?

Literally just say what you want. No color chart as anodizing is never exact, and it'd be very hard to convey and get what you want. If you can't describe it, then it won't really work. You can provide a picture that would help, but it isn't going to be Pantone accurate. It's going to be a "light/normal/dark blue" etc.

No chance ^-^

Hi all,

For now, this won't be happening due to some quality issues with my factory. I am currently working with some well respected community members in order to find a new factory. I can't put any numbers down, but it will be a lot smaller, although this isn't on my mind at the minute.

I hope you can all understand; sorry to disappoint but I'm too dedicated to quality to run it at the minute.
