My vote goes to the Apollo65 without all of the paisley etching. The nob and simple design are beautiful enough to stand on their own in my opinion.

The first design is 100 times better, but unfortunately I bet everyone will vote for the tacky rgb.

like design B, but prefer a blocker. Also I think the big PC bottom is to fit the battery in there, but it will probably make the board too elevated to type on comfortably.

Why not combine the 1 and 2(b) with a full metal bottom and you will have something unique, premium and more OP than the GMMK Pro and on par to a Sat75

When you press the top buttons on the second design the case is gonna bounce like hydraulics.

While the first board is very simple and nice looking, it doesn't really scream Angry Miao to me. The 2nd one, while looking more like a Cyberboard, also feels "too basic". Angry Miao is known for their crazy designs like the Cyberboard and Hatsu and neither of these 65% appears to capture that.

I would ask that Angry Miao look at other crazy yet beautiful designs from this hobby, specifically:
* Grid600 / Grid650
* Geist Machine
* Giga40

Not saying they should copy, but look for inspiration from them. Each of those brings something very novel and unique while not looking entirely tacky or I should say looking beautiful. Just my 2 pennies though.

Option b for me, however I think both would look better if they were a bit shorter / lower front height. The main attraction of smaller form factor keyboards for me is the smaller size lol.

I love the idea of a side-mount rotary, very neat concept. Overall design is a bit busy for my tastes but I totally get the angle.

Now that 65% though, I LOVE the mix of the metal and polycarb, the asymmetry of the shorter lightbar rocks.

They both look gaudy as hell, wouldn't consider either.

Apollo could be nice as a budget board if you removed the paisley and knob.

Plenty of keyboards like that already, the one thing I don't understand about GH members is the penchant to go into threads and say "remove everything about the keyboard that makes it different, I want another by-the-numbers keyboard that's exactly the same as others"

Cool. So remove mostly everything about the board that makes it unique. Less than helpful.

Same. Don't know where that trend started but it's just ugly. Would actually consider it without that blocker.

Agree on the blocker. Only good blocker is HHKB. Paisley is always dope though. The itches love my paisley ties at work. Would be even better engraved/etched somehow.

I think this is the right time to talk about keyboard for two types of people gamers and non gamers. If I was a gamer, I'd go for rgb, although it can be tacky if not done right.
As a non gamer, I would always prefer a non rgb keyboard over rgb, but a tiny bit light indicator or led panel is my preference.
The first one I wouldn't go for because that's also tacky imo.

It's not the right time.. :))  RGB is just a preference, gaming doesn't really matter. I like RGB, well, other then shine-through key-caps, and I don't PC game.

To be fair, you are either a gamer or a nongamer, logically speaking, that is a true dichotomy..

The Apollo looks much nicer to me, but the pattern definitely needs to be optional.

I also personally would put my money into either of these boards until I saw a fully finished production level prototype. Nothing against you personally, I just get nervous when I see ICs for extremely intricate and innovative boards. There are just too many things that can go wrong during the GB. I do wish you luck and will keep my eye on the project.

Apollo 65 is unique, and I really like the design of it.

Muse 65 is classic and similar to Cyberboard. I like the design, but if I have to choose, I would go for Apollo 65.
