Quick update:

Vendors and Quantities

Standard Edition

We're very proud to announce we've partnered up with CannonKeys in the US, MyKeyboard in the EU, and ILUMKB in the AP/China market to handle all sales of the Iron165 SE.

What this hopefully means, and why we're so excited to work with these amazing stores, is that we should be able to offer not only a smoother buying experience, but also a higher quantity of boards than we initially thought possible.

USA - CannonKeys - Up to 100 boards
EU - MyKeyboard - Up to 50 boards
AP - ILUMKB - Up to 50 boards

We will be personally handling the sales of FE so they will all be shipped out of the US.

All the information is in the first post 

[BrainBunker]

The Iron165 FE will be limited to 25 total serialized units, never to be made again. We will be handling the group buy for these directly. There will be a public raffle for 10 total group buy spots.

So I'm not sure if I missed the information anywhere else, but is this implying that 15 FE spots are a private group buy? Where are the additional 15 going?

The other 15 are going to those who pledged support to the iron165 very early on.

Ah, some OG backers. Well deserved, since they made the project possible. Thanks for the info!

I hope I can get my hands on the FE!!

Am I dreaming? Pinch me.

Guess I am in for the SE in EU 

[SUB01]

TBH most would consider 445usd a decent price for many of the more reputable studios. Maybe we should give this studio the same benefit of the doubt. They have been honest to us so far. Btw does anyone know if cannonkeys ships to Canada? If not I'll be heartbroken and go cry in a corner for a month or so.

HOLY F-ING SHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET
How have I missed this?
In for a founders PLEASE.
Purple over copper would be so tasty!
I'm new but I hope I can snag one of these.  One of the best looking boards I've seen.

[KingOfMemes]

Does anyone know if the remaining 10 FE spots are going to be on a shopify-based website?

I've thought about this. Life is short - if you're jumping in do it head first, get something dope and worst case you can resell after a bit.

[bricra1983]

Yeah that's the thing, I'm either gonna buy ten boards getting to the one thing I really want.  Or could just cut out the middle and get the one nice one.

You think you're only going to get one nice one. I'm waiting on 3 boards from gb's and yet I still want an FE and an SE iron if I can manage to get both. FE looks amazing but I don't want to miss the possible plum SE.

[SUB01]

Lol I know people are going to say endgame doesn't exist, but if the navy color with silver bottom render does get made I think that will be my endgame after 3 boards. voxkey pls

[CDKing]

Mother of god. That founder's edition is proof to me there is an endgame. All that copper has me drooling...
I would happily shill out $885. No regrets.

Take. My. Money. Please.

[SUB01]

ikr I want the founders edition too but my wallet is already crying ;-;

edit: does anyone know what keycaps were being used for the navy standard edition render?

Thank you for that. I wonder how gmk voyage would look in that case...

The winners of the FE raffle will just be invoiced via Paypal. We are handling sales of the FE directly.

[voxkey]

I would assume Canadian buyers just go through our North America proxy, which is CannonKeys.

Hey everyone!

The time has come to vote on SE colors! We will HEAVILY consider community feedback when choosing the final colors, so please go vote 

Iron165 SE Color Poll, go vote!

[SUB01]

NAVY WITH SILVER ALL THE WAY! I hope the silver accents will be mirror finished but that's just my inner greed talking. XD

[Mekuno]

Navy, 100%. You usually don't see it in a lot of keyboards out now and it will be quite unique. Not to mention how good it will look.

[eskimojo]

Not sure what you mean, Navy is incredibly common - it's essentially a standard offering for boards now. Not that it won't look good, but it's hardly unique.

Day 1 results so far! Very impressive turnout! Thanks everyone!

[SUB01]

Wow, those are damn even distributions for the navy, plum, and gray colors. How many colors are you choosing total?

Yes, we were't expecting colors to break down so evenly. I'm taking this as a good sign and hoping this means that we chose a good set of colors to present that most people would be happy with.

The plan is to offer two SE colors options for the first round.

Maybe I should have been more specific, but that very dark shade of blue, like keycult's no1r1. I've seen a lot of "navy" being offered on other gb, but a lot of them irl ended up being a much lighter shade of blue than expected. I've been here following enough boards to notice the difference imo.

[ninjacore]

Voted Plum and Navy, but I really wish there was more contrast between plum and it's accent color (black).  It goes well with GMK First Love (or whichever forthcoming purple set is rendered on it), but I'm wondering what it will look like w others.  Was a light accent color (for "badge" and weight) considered?  Plum case + lavender accent or something like that?

[ghstgrl]

Voted for navy and that grey-blue (I have a weakness for that color). Already trying to think of what sets will look nice for both... wondering if that MT3 Serika would work but I'm not sure I like how that profile will look on these.

[Dongulator]

voted.. looking forward to this board. Also, that grey-blue

[SUB01]

Please consider doing a shiny badge for your logo even in the SE editions. I think it is what makes the FE pop so much and that bit of shine along with the more matte anodization would tie everything together really nicely.

[DuellM]

Anyone know what keyset is used in the second SE Renders? I really like the purple and black that it uses.

Just out of curiosity, will there be prototypes to purchase? I'm so torn between buying this board and another. Its killing me.

[Simplixity]

Do u have the dimensions of this board?

[SUB01]

I'm also starting to wonder if the reason why the blue grey wasn't a first choice for many people is because there were no renders for it. I also think the reason why it is second choice for more people is because the people who wanted navy and grey defaulted the blue-grey because it is the color most similar to their first choices. Thats why I chose blue-grey for second anyway.

[Yehuo.]

I saw the FE version, I think I am in love！！！
