So, is the offset backspace key still an option?

It doesn't look like it is based on the plate renders.

I hope the offset backspace is still possible with the latest design/layout.

Super excited that this is actually proceeding.

ccc24 · « **Reply #452 on:** Sat, 05 September 2015, 12:24:31 »

all layouts will be hot swappable right? And will this GB also come with the cable?

Hitcha · « **Reply #453 on:** Tue, 08 September 2015, 22:27:45 »

Any updates?

Hitcha · « **Reply #454 on:** Thu, 10 September 2015, 12:30:09 »

Also, what kind of key-rollover does this keyboard have?

ika · « **Reply #455 on:** Thu, 10 September 2015, 13:03:21 »

So the keyboard is on taobao right now... Not a big fan of the case design change. The original case design was one of the biggest draws to this, after the sockets ofc. We'll see what Feng's gb price is.

I totally agree... Reminds me of Ducky's Shine4 case design. This actually makes me re=think if I am gonna spend my hard earned cash on this board. When looking at it on Taobao there seems to be options of case color. Might look better if the case is black imo. There are no pictures of the black option though. Contemplating if a future hot swap board might look better and wait for it to happen.

My main problem is the lip. Grey case with lip, black case with lip, pink case with lip - doesn't matter. I don't lip!

jiexi · « **Reply #458 on:** Mon, 14 September 2015, 21:14:01 »

Tempted to Tao Bao, but feel like a group buy would be better since that boat of people will be bigger.

kiwi24x · « **Reply #459 on:** Tue, 15 September 2015, 02:58:16 »

I am very interested in getting this keyboard. Is there going to be enough for everyone who wants one? I made an account as soon as i saw this amazing thing.

Yeah. When it's available you will probably fill out a form about what layout and case color you want, then you get an invoice sent to you.
When the groupbuy ends, the groupbuy leader (feng) puts in an order at the factory, the parts are made and then finally shipped to you.

tofgerl · « **Reply #461 on:** Wed, 16 September 2015, 03:44:45 »

And what's extra cool is that this will be the second GB, meaning the timeframe, price and specs will be much more likely to be accurate.

Vozella · « **Reply #462 on:** Sun, 20 September 2015, 15:47:31 »

This looks really good. I love the layout.

Maybe they have different options?

The lip does not look too big in this picture/version.
but It may be a used version 1 I guess?

i'm assuming feng is just waiting for his POM set GB to finish before he starts this.

willdenham · « **Reply #466 on:** Fri, 25 September 2015, 04:43:48 »

Signed up on GH just for this IC/GB.

I was tempted to try my luck getting this off Taobao, but I would much rather have it coming from a reputable dealer in our community.

Dannzzor · « **Reply #467 on:** Fri, 25 September 2015, 07:26:03 »

I would prefer less lip, and not a huge fan of the front FN key, but I'll still take one! count me in

ccc24 · « **Reply #469 on:** Thu, 01 October 2015, 13:14:30 »

now that the pom buy is coming to a close...how soon are we getting this into the GB phase?

Yahosh · « **Reply #470 on:** Thu, 01 October 2015, 20:55:59 »

I've been following the progress of the Smart 68 on and off for the last year. Just created a GH account because of it. Hoping we can get a GB going soon?

Let's face it, $300 is a steal for what is basically guaranteed to be your last ever 60%.

i said that, about six 60% ago

romevi · « **Reply #472 on:** Mon, 05 October 2015, 23:42:22 »

Wait. This still hasn't gotten a GB?

I realize it's most likely been mentioned in this thread, but just in case I didn't read through it in its entirety and skipped to the bottom to reply:
Is it still happening through Massdrop? And soon?

Aside from the new case design (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=61714.msg1852842#msg1852842) we've had no updates from feng re: the status of this GB. What's in the OP is the most up to date info regarding the GB.

Since we're waiting anyway, anyone know of a 60% PCB with a layout that allows arrowkeys to the bottom right? "short-shift-key"-style preferred.

Wouldn't that require like heavy modification tho? I mean the Tec yoda uses multiple pcbs fit it to work.

tofgerl · « **Reply #486 on:** Sun, 11 October 2015, 05:29:20 »

I think I'd make a handwired board if I wanted a trackpoint.

It's probably still available. It's not the version that is hot swappable.

Yeah, it looks so good, but the hot swappable switches are a pretty major selling point for me.
