Run a purple version and I’m 100% in.Seconded! I'd absolutely give up my NK65 for a purple version of this.

What PCB are you using?
Will ISO be an option?
I kinda think it would make more sense the other way around. I'm sure there are many people who would appreciate a hotswap wireless board, and the same people who want to use QMK tend to be the people who want multiple layout options and are willing to solder.
This looks beautiful! Count me in for sure.

Very interesting! I don’t have a PC board yet, it may be an opportunity to see what the hype is about!
However, please note that Oblotzky already has an IC for a board with Aurora in the name as well.

oh hell yes.
I'm kinda glad I missed out on the IKKI68 GB now.
This ticks off a lot of boxes.
Cheap PC case? Check.
Silicone dampening? Check.
Gasket mount? Check.
QMK or Bluetooth? NOICE
I hope you are prepared to take lots of orders.
Does it have underglow to make use of the translucent poly?
I am so in on this! :)There is QMK solder PCB too.n e QMK/solder combo avail?Please give solder pcb. Thanks
Will there be typing test or videos to see how this board looks like?From November to December, we will conduct various tests and release various videos
In support of a Mint and Clear. And really kudos for offering so much in this pricepoint. U guys are awesome.

I think everyone will wanna go for charcoal and atomic purple if that can be made possible.

will split backspace be possible? at least on the solder version?Bumping this question as I'm also wondering about split backspace support on the PCB :)
Split spacebar support is clearly mentioned as a Key Feature. Go read first post.will split backspace be possible? at least on the solder version?Bumping this question as I'm also wondering about split backspace support on the PCB :)

will a badgeless version be available?Same question was on Discord and they replied "no", although there is chance for "blocker badge".
I just noticed that the plate does not support split backspace. Without there being explicit mention about different plate options, I guess the answer to split backspace support is "no".
Since this is an IC though, I'd like to ask if it's a possible option. I'm too new to this to know if it's possible to do a universal plate that supports both options. It should be possible to support the option of split backspace with one PCB though.
EDIT: I guess, worst case, open sourcing the plate file, and supporting split backspace on the PCB would allow owners to make their own plates with split backspace support.

Is there a reason why only PCB mount stabilizers and not the option for screw in?Screw-in is a type of pcb-mount stabilizer.

Would this be limited GB? I hope it unlimited, really like to get the board. Looking forward to more update.

thx

Will definitely be buying this. Will it be an unlimited GB?
Yes. Interested. I'm so happy to see more price friendly boards :thumb:
I mean this is injection molded right? So a lot cheaper than CNC
expect a lot of units or multiple runs
Is Bluetooth limited to the fixed layout PCB only? I'm mainly interested in the split backspace layout, but would be sad if there is no BT support.Yup, only QMK version will have multiple layouts, sorry about this.

This is a guaranteed buy from me.
Guaranteed. Guaranteed . Guaranteed

Looks amazing, specially at this pricepoint
yo at this price, no meme i might buy 2. 😳
I did get the OG Ikki68 Pro, could not get the blue, here's my chance I guess.
Loving the charcoal too.
Just to repeat my comment on Reddit: 100% in if colour options are Pink or Purple. Otherwise not overly interested.
Killer price though and a great pickup for someone after a budget board.

Is it possible to get non polycarbonate but aluminum like the last run?
Definitely dig the design. Going to keep my eye on this one.
Mannnn I hope the surprise color is purple. Still will buy a unit, it looks wayyy to beautiful :thumb: .
Though I got a Question. The Badge is the small (I guess it's a brass plate) above the arrow keys right ?
Just wanted to be sure...

Looking good. Really excited for this keyboard. :thumb:Thank you, working on the final prototypes, hope to share will you all very soon.
Any chance we can have a different color badge?
Hope that it's screw in stabs rather than pcb mount stabs
any updates on this? :DLots of Ikki streams lately, additional vendors, known GB Date in a week...
Charcoal, PC Plate & Tromso PCB for a very cool Bluetooth keeb. I'll be in line tomorrow.Do we know what the Bluetooth firmware interface looks like yet?

Maybe I'm just too new to this, but is shipping always this expensive? I was about to hit order on the charcoal and a fr4 plate in the US till i got to the shipping and it made me hit the brakes on it. I understand that some of these keyboard stores might be small and run by individual people so they can't get bulk shipping discounts and such, but still it was kind of a shock.

I'm truly surprised by this; as a Canadian I'm used to shipping-sticker-shock but I thought US folks always got the best deals when it came to shipping, especially if they were ordering from a USA-based proxy. Did you try buying from the correct store? FWIW, I ordered from mech.land and only paid $13 CAD for shipping (that's like less than $2 USD! ;o)

Where's the group buy gone for this as can't find it. I did have it this morning or is it too late already? Damn it!
It is highly likely to do more runs or become a regular item. The benefits to customers from this GB was that it allowed a GB price, but afterwards it should be produced and sold at regular price.
Shipping Status
Ikki68 Aurora
Aurora Charcoal, Mint, and Mizu are scheduled to ship to vendors in July 2021. Please keep in mind they're being shipped by the sea and will take some time to arrive to vendors. Refer to each Vendor's website for detailed info.
Aurora x Devoted is scheduled to ship alongside keyset (Or December 2021 if ordered alone).
Aurora x PnC is scheduled to arrive to vendors around October / November 2021.

Oooh, sounds good, thanks.
Was first run all delivered?not even close. most western vendors haven't even received their units yet. you'd best check the wuque discord server. tons of info and updates there.

They really are on the way, and will be arriving with Western distributors probably this month.
At that point, some extras might be available.
Also, if you do a GB with them and order shipping directly to yourself [instead of a local distributor] for an extra $100 USD or so, you can have them ship directly to your address. This has already happened with some R1 orders of the main green and charcoal Auroras arriving with individuals in the West.
Yep. That's what 65 / 68% bluetooth keyboards are perfect for.
That case colour would probably go well with MT3 3277. Just watch out as the OA stabilizers have minor clearance issues with MT3.
If this is hotswap then I'm 100% in
Has anyone received their Board yet? Or is the estimated shipping delayed?
It was estimated for this month when I joined the GB.

Almost a year has passed since this post, and neither the board nor the keycaps have arrived. Why is this taking so long?
