Honestly I like this design and the choice of colors is amazing. Sadly my hope and dreams were crushed when I saw the 50 units availability.
Also question to the Op. Will you have EU proxies or sell directly?
We are estimating the units at 50 for now because we are still learning the process and want to ensure we don't sacrifice quality for quantity.
However, if everything goes well and there is a large amount of interest, we might increase the units.
We are currently planning to sell direct, but if EU demand is high we will consider it.

It's only useful if you decide to support ISO though, so if you decide to keep things ANSI-only you can ignore this request :-)

My main request is that if you do decide to support ISO, you also consider including the option to swap the split right shift with the 1U Function key to its right (so the 1U is on the left and the 1.75U right shift is at the very right of the keyboard). This minor change, in combination with the ISO Enter key, will allow you to support JIS as well as ISO.
It's only useful if you decide to support ISO though, so if you decide to keep things ANSI-only you can ignore this request :-)
Yeah definitely, thanks for that advice. We will have a google form up shortly with some questions so we can gauge interest about certain options. If ISO turns out to be popular we'll add it in with your idea.
Woohoo finally in IC! Excited to see the progress. Looking for a new HHKB so if the price is right :D!

Slanting them? I'm not sure I follow the idea but I will try later to see if I can see it.
Glad to see this is up! Can’t wait

This looks so good! I am hopeful that Red or Purple makes it through the color poll. This would be a must to try for. I've been looking for my next HHKB. The proposed weight designs all look great and the use of a Bronze plate and weight is really appealing.
Yeah we liked the idea of using bronze as both the weight and the plate, we felt it fit along with the concept we wanted. As for the colors, we'll announce what colors were the winners.

Nice! I like the clean looks of it :) So cool to have bronze used as the weight as well!
Yeah we felt like using bronze for the weight would be a nice touch.
usually I would always ask for ISO support. But I feel like if this limited to 50 units, while being well made and reasonably priced you wont have issues to sell them in the current market. (the current design looks really nice imo)
Thanks man! About the ISO, it would all depend on how many people want it.
The purple looks amazing, super excited for this board.

Thinking same. The Plain60 PCB has ISO support, worst case can get a plate cut off laserboost

Just curious about hotswap availability...
Hotswap will not be offered with the PCB during group buy but the PCB is a standard 60% so if you can find a Tsangan hotswap PCB with a JST connector then it should work. We will see if we can test this at some point.
So hype for this. Bronze is my ish.

We are currently polling for ISO but if it proves to not be as popular, we could release the plate files. We will check this out and see.

It should have some heft to it. But it is a 60% so the weight of the board shouldn't be outrageous.

Post by: CrazyAssMonkey on Thu, 13 August 2020, 01:59:36
I'm not the biggest fan of this layout for this PCB, mostly just because it usually requires an additional 'modifiers' AND spacebar kit to be purchased in addition to the Base kit when buying keycaps.The PCB has multiple layouts, we’re fans of Tsangan so we selected that as our plate layout. From what I know most base kits come with the required keycaps for the layout.

Count me in on this, hoping the number of units will go up enough for me to have a chance at it (i am sure the interest level will be very high). Not sure how many of the colors you intend to make out of the 50-100 units but hopefully one or two of the more interesting colors make it, look forward to seeing the vote results.
Ahh yeah we just finalized the color selection, we did have to make some modifications but we do like the colors we are going with.
Can I get a working discord link so i can follow there? Thanks in advance.
Yeah sorry about that, I was sure I'd used a link that wouldn't expire. Apparently I did not. It should be working now.

Are the colors going to be applied through electrophoresis, anodization, or cerakote?
The Charcoal and Teal colors are going to be applied through anodization. The E-White is applied by electrophoresis I believe.

I was so keen on this board, it was so beautiful until the polished brass was taken away. This is a huge loss, not just to the purchasers but to the community, it was so beautiful that I’d call it artistic. It’s now a shadow of its old self. I’m devastated :(Oh man I’m sorry to hear that.
We tried our best to strike a balance between what our design goals were and pricing, manufacturing etc. We tweaked it to keep it as close to the original design.

That is correct this is the final look we are going for, I apologize if it was not clear what we were aiming for. The brass pieces will be sandblasted since we really like how that looks but we definitely wanted to keep the rest of the bottom reflective. So yup that finishing on the prototype is what we are aiming for. :thumb:
