any plans to use this design on a 60% board?

kevinplus · « **Reply #152 on:** Tue, 16 June 2020, 05:18:33 »

Additional weights are undergoing production for comparison, and GB preparation will occur after it is done

ai03 · « **Reply #153 on:** Tue, 16 June 2020, 10:46:47 »

Can confirm that the above is taking place.

Not at the moment, for it would require an entire redesign from scratch (sculpted side cannot simply be scaled to a different row form factor).

Quote from: Esfera on Mon, 01 June 2020, 14:45:47

Would the case and pcb have room for mill-max sockets?

This is not the kind of board designed to be hotswapped.
Choose the best batch of cherry-picked switches you can find, and solder them in for maximized acoustics.

You should probably create a FAQ in the main post.

I read the whole thread and a lot of people are asking if it's WKL only. When a question is raised multiple time it should appear in a FAQ.

This will be less time consuming for the readers and for you.

Basically, insert "no" to any question you can't find answer to and you'll have your answer.

Good news: Additional weights are complete for acoustic comparisons, so the best result can be chosen from the batch.
Bad news: PCBs got lost in transit during shipment from Kevin's place, so they're being manufactured again.

Do you mean to say that you're interested?

“Reserved” isn't something you would usually say in response to an IC, unless you're the runner. Just a small suggestion for your future posts. Welcome to Geekhack

The plate design is final.

Yes. Both the plate and PCB are locked to the layouts shown in the diagram.

Why do people want WKL and why would you create a keyboard without an important key?
I don’t understand this at all, and it reduces the choice in keyboards so much

etong415 · « **Reply #183 on:** Sat, 15 August 2020, 00:18:02 »

Lol this is the same as asking why do people want 60% or anything smaller than a full size keyboard. With keymapping, there’s no such thing as removing important keys if you’re willing tinker with it a bit.

I find a good compromise for WKL boards is to reprogram the Right Alt key to windows, since I never use that Right Alt

pixelpusher · « **Reply #185 on:** Sat, 15 August 2020, 01:42:43 »

Yep, right alt is always windows on my boards

Sycomore · « **Reply #186 on:** Sat, 15 August 2020, 02:17:12 »

I'm one of those people who does split right shift to add a fn layer to my TKL boards. but I can personally live without a fn key and a windows key.

Since I use Mac, I do the opposite. I make left alt the win key. I practically never use the alt key. So I put alt on the right side, and life is good. On Mac, the win key / cmd key is a necessity.

Not a fan of the rounded profile of Andromeda, especially if it isn't foamed and gasket mounted.

If there was a TKL version of the Polaris, I'd be all in... and if it had a leaf spring plate, even better.

If you don't like it, don't get it. Complaining about every aspect of the board isn't going to change things.

Yeah, simple. If you don't like what you see at this stage, don't get it. There'll always be more keyboards in the future that might suit you better.

So you are not a fan of the rounded profile or foamless nature of the board, but you would be all over it if only it did not have WKL blockers? Not sure this is a board you should be "all over" unless you like all aspects of the design.
