I want that 65, like, really. Did you personally QC all the boards in that sale riot?
Interested to see what color combos will be offered.
I want that 65, like, really. Did you personally QC all the boards in that sale riot?
Yes I've written up a Quality Disclosure (https://keycult.io/pages/quality-disclosure-january-2019-release) as well so that people can know exactly what to expect. (tl;dr If you buy a regular kit from the sale, there should be no exterior defects and some interior defects.) There will additionally be some b-stock kits later this month, and I'll post pictures of the particular defect that makes it b-stock for each kit.
Will we have more information as the sale approaches, such as maybe more pictures ?
Also, I'm assuming these are in-stock and will be shipped out within a week ?
Awesome. Really makes me want to jump on the bandwagon.
Can you give insights on what kind of defect and discount one should expect for those B-stock cases?
Good luck everyone. Here's to hoping I can add to my OG No.1. I need me a new 65. :eek:
Hi sent!
Happy New Year folks!
How heavy are the brass and alu 65s?

Happy New Year!
Some weight measurements for you (unbuilt cases w/o PCB or switches):
- 60% Aluminum Edition 2lbs 6.25oz / 1.08kg
- 60% Brass Edition 4lbs 5oz / 1.96kg
- 65% Aluminum Edition 2lbs 8.5oz / 1.15kg
- 65% Brass Edition 4lbs 8.25oz / 2.05kg
Looks good! What is angle of case for 65%?
9° (same for the 60%)
Can you post a picture or two of the mounting system?
9° (same for the 60%)
Guessing this is the same angle as the TKL?
So looking forward to this. I'm not too familiar with daughterboards, what's the reason or benefit to having one? Thanks.
Now the only question is do I enter all of them to maximize my chances... :thinking:

Yeah, I know. Just wondering if I should try to get in for the 60 when I really only want the 65. FCFS has not worked out well for me historically, lol.
Curious why 9 degrees over more ergonomic lower angles

Is there somewhere you can see more than the 1 photo of each board?
Will there be a WKL top option for the 60% boards?
Will you announce exact color options before the sales go live?
For those who were asking, here's a bit more on the case internals, specifically the isolated gasket-mount and USB-C daugherboard placement: https://imgur.com/a/CRLmDZc

Yep, with one clarification, the case top/bottom is actually a light gray, not silver, but it's not immediately obvious from the pictures. I'll try to get a comparison shot of the light gray next to the silver mid parts.
Will the brass editions come with the light grey color combination as well or is it all black/brass?
In case anyone's curious, here's the shade of light gray case compared to a silver mid:Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/96SsAjd.png)Will the brass editions come with the light grey color combination as well or is it all black/brass?

Man I'd like to learn from whomever got that black/blue. Sold out in like what 15 seconds? Including catching that the second page had a radio button?I managed to get a hold of it for a while and then, out of nowhere its out of stock. second try the polycarb plate was out of stock. lol.
Will more plates and pcbs be available when the brass 1/60 goes live?

Would you say ... it was out of the blue?
What are all the layout configurations possible on the 65, riot?
Didn't manage to snag the blue and silver 60% so I'll try to get the 65% I guess :)
You people just can't read can you? I specifically said it was MINE. You cannot buy it. thanks.
do you know the cost of the poly plates/pcbs?
Just rebuilt this for the third and hopefully final time, heh.
Black/silver aluminum No. 1/60 with polycarbonate half plate and 78g v2 zilents lubed with 3204
Figuring out how to handle half plate switch solder alignment was interesting learning experience, lol

Cherry profile looks killer and sounds/feels cobblestoney but SA types especially nice with this, I don't know how to describe it other than "juicy".
Weighs more than I imagined, the brass version must be really hefty.
Case assembly and VIA usage was absolute cinch.
I love it! Thank you

Actually your instinct is correct I didn't push the keys in fully >_<
Also the plate is free-wheeling between the gaskets so if there's sidegaps just gotta unscrew and reseat it.
If the rows look uneven.. well that's probably due to my positioning of switches on the half-plate.
The pcb-mount pegs sat fairly loose in the pcb so on my first attempt using just a heavy book to keep things in place rows were misaligned and keys were all up in each other's way.
I desoldered alphas again and jerry-rigged a grid out of tons of folded paper to space stuff correctly (or at least functionally)... but then that paper wouldn't let me push down as hard on the switches.
Typing more on this I'm really diggin gmk profile for it now.
Here dyrdevil, have a bag of potatoes, sorry for the lighting best I can manage right now.
I tried to adjust the plate to even out the gaps on all sides as much as possible. The switches on Esc/Caps/L.Ctrl are still slightly visible at the right angle but I notice those are hidden if I tilt the key to the left. Before I tangled with the naked alphas I soldered in the "ring" of polycarb seated mods. As the polycarb plate is very soft, when I soldered them in I think they bowed toward the middle of the board as I pushed down which exposed their underside to the left. They could probably do with a desoldering and realigning with spacers this time but I'll tackle that tomorrow. I never really appreciated what a rigid plate can do for alignment before this build, just took it for granted I guess.
Also found my package of WoB delivered outside :D

Surprised the Zeal PCB mounting legs are loose, v1 were insanely tight in Cherry-spec PCBs. I heard Zeal tried to fix that for v2, maybe they over-compensated?
Ideally they're not loose in the PCB at all, so alignment with a partial/plateless build shouldn't be that problematic.

I don't believe Zeal over-compensated here I don't want any misinformation to be spread. Wilba, who designed this PCB, designs PCBs for Zeal as well, and has in the past used a very slightly larger than Cherry-spec switch mounting holes in order to accommodate non-Cherry switches with legs that were slightly oversized. In my builds, it wasn't problematic (I've built two half-plate PCBs out at this point), but future PCBs will be made with standard Cherry-spec mounting holes.
In my cart and then sold out as I'm trying to pay. RIP.

Took about a minute and a half for everything to sell out this time.
Expecting to get the dark grey 1/65 delivered by tomorrow, gotta love priority shipping. I'll try to get some good pictures, especially since the listing didn't have any.
Is the TKL version coming back anytime soon?
Mailman showed up as I was closing the garage to leave the house! Had to go back inside to take a couple quick pics :p
Packaging was superb and board looks/feels amazing! Gonna have to wait til tonight/tomorrow to build but can't wait to get typing on it!

Nice! Looks so good!
Nice! Now you can sell it to me.
Is the brass mid or plate sandblasted?
Just unwrapped my gray/blue. Oh, fellas. The finish is just amazing. The only board Ive ever seen with a finish this nice is the TX
Photos dont do it justice. Now to build it out.
The finish is really interesting in the way it reacts to light. It somehow stays more consistent in all lighting better than some other boards I have. I think it must have to do with the reflectivity of the finish.
Here is a color comparison to my space gray M65-a.
And here it is next to the mist (silver) M60

Wonder how fast the brass ones will sell out today. :confused: Sub one minute?
got some pics with a few different sets mounted coming soon. :thumb:
The mounting system is really cool. It almost makes unlubed switches sound lubed.
Got my board so back to sleep again lol :)). Its 4AM over here where I'm travelling. Have a good evening yall!
What's really fast is that you already updated your signature. :))

Yep, the b-stock boards are just boards from the past three sales that didn't pass our QC for one reason or the other.

Yep, the b-stock boards are just boards from the past three sales that didn't pass our QC for one reason or the other.
Well, I know the a-stock ones have something like "Twelve of 15". So how does it work for the b-stock is what I meant originally.
Will there be some brass B-stock 65 units available?
Ok, it makes sense now. So in reality the sale is even more limited in nature because out of the 15, there could be 5 (a random number) that didn't pass QC and deemed b-stock. And if "eleven of 15" was considered a b-stock, then there will only be one #11 out there. :thumb:
Oh wow that's surprising to hear. So it means the number of kits sold were actually less than the number of kits advertised which makes them even rarer! Excited about the raffled b-stock as well! Will join when open :)). Would love to experimenting with reanodizing of different colors!

You want a 3rd one? :p
B-stock pricing?
- We tried to be very strict with QC, so we have quite a few b-stock boards to sell. Some of the issues are very minor and some are more serious, so discounts on b-stock boards will vary board-to-board.
So Riot I know you said we'll get some more info about the No. 2 after we wrap up this sale, but is there anything you can share about a possible 1/60 and 1/65 R2?
While I don't want to completely rule out the possibility, we don't have any plans for a R2 at the moment. We do have a plan for a larger release after the No. 2, but it doesn't include another 60/65. More small form factor boards will definitely be available in the future, but not sure that it will be these exact designs.Would love to see new design for more small form factor boards for R2 and keep this design exclusively for R1. Waiting for some YOK Pandas to finish up these builds. Excited for the raffle sale tomorrow!

So I failed on the raffle too. Awesome. :))Right there with you, hopefully I can snag on of the cerakoted ones later on then

We're waiting until the remaining cases are sold before selling these, and we're waiting on some cerakote samples that should arrive tomorrow to determine whether those cases will be cerakoted or sold as b-stock. Expect a plan in the coming days, as well as some more info on what's coming next for Keycult in general. =)

While this is technically the "coming days," I hoped to have more information out much sooner and am still not ready to share more. Currently waiting to hear from some potential Cerakote suppliers before announcing our plans for the remaining boards (and poly partial plates/extra PCBs). I should hear back Any Day Now. So let this stand as a tentative pre-announcement notice. Or something.
Hello all and @riotonthebay,
We've had someone ping QMK regarding support of this board(s). If I could be pointed towards the pins used and the switch matrix, I can get them into QMK Configurator this weekend. Assuming these boards are QMK compatible of course.
Of course if these have already been programmed and are just sitting in a branch somewhere on Github, please kindly contribute via pull request, or make links more available so we can point people in the right direction.
Thank you very much for your time!
Do you have an Instagram account where we could follow you?
I really hope the No. 2 is a ten keyless or bigger. Can't wait for the reveal.
Only reason I haven't hunted down a No. 1 is because I am hoping I can win a No. 2. lol

The No.2 is a TKL, says so in the post but I think we've known that since last year. Just got my bonus payment today so my wallet is ready.
Would you expect the larger releases to be less expensive than the limited releases, due to the volume of boards made correlating to a better price from the manu?

Yikes where's my wallet for No. 2 or a cerakoted No. 65/60? On a side note, would it be possible to get one of the No. 60/65 raw or in the b/c-stock condition so we could cerakote ourselves?

time to roll the dice. pretty interesting colorways. is battleship grey more on the white side? seems pretty light but hard to tell with lighting.
It looks like there are two layers in some of the pic. Was there another cerakote layer underneath these?

Yeah we took pictures a couple times to try to capture the actual gray. It's very light, I guess you could describe it as more on the white side, but it's not white.

Yes, you get four choices and if all of them are taken when you are picked, we will draw another.
Raffle closed. We had a lot more interest than we expected, even compared to our last small raffle sale in February. Please temper your expectations the average person has about a 1% chance of getting a board. We'll be running the raffle and then sending out invoices tonight. If you receive one, please pay your invoice within 24 hours (or get in touch with us at support@keycult.io if you have some extenuating circumstances).

Pretty please make a 60% with this design.
When will they be shipped?

No 2/65 when!?

Why?
No. 1 Rev. 1 coming soon. This will be another in-stock release.That blue is stunning. Will there be a WKL option as well as WK?
Follow us on Instagram for teasers (https://www.instagram.com/p/BxaRxNOn9wO/) and sign up for email updates (https://keycult.io/updates) if you don't want to miss it.
Oh man finally! This is the one board I have been trying to track down!
This blue is something else!
Hopefully a larger group but this time?
Any idea on timescales?
is it too early to tell us what form factors are available? I see TKL, but what about 65%?
Highly recommend the Keycult Navy :cool:Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/vqr8cjl.jpg)

same. and the cyan.
Sad to hear there wont be a WKL top this round :'(
My happiness was so short after hearing there is no wkl this time :-[
Will there be a second release of No2 ss later this year?

Stainless steel was a limited edition release, we have no plans to release it again. Another variant of the No. 2 though...
This round will not feature blockers. We've explicitly minimized configuration to simplify production and QC. However, we're picking up the pace of releases so you may see a WKL variant sooner than you'd think.

Hey, do you have any plans to do a regular 60% anytime in the future?
What colors would be available aside from the Navy Blue that was shown on Instagram?This round will not feature blockers. We've explicitly minimized configuration to simplify production and QC. However, we're picking up the pace of releases so you may see a WKL variant sooner than you'd think.

We'll definitely do more smaller form-factor boards. No timeline for it as of yet.

Curious what layouts are compatible? Or strictly standard.

i think tsangan bottom will be supported too. just no blockers :(

This is correct. A version with blockers will come later.
If the past is anything to go by, it'll probably be a WKL blocker. I don't think I've ever seen a TKL with HHKB blockers before.Curious what layouts are compatible? Or strictly standard.

I mean it's common as a 60% board, but for TKL, I haven't seen any board with hhkb style yet. And that would look weird to me lol

Well i guess if you're torn, go for the Keycult board. Chances are very slim that you'll get one. Then if/when you don't get it, you can get the U80 :)
Would it be any degree of possible to/how much of a heathen would I be if I bought a U80-Ax PCB and used that instead of the WT80-A PCB
braces for ridicule
Ah, yep, that's very true. Thanks!Would it be any degree of possible to/how much of a heathen would I be if I bought a U80-Ax PCB and used that instead of the WT80-A PCB

The PCBs are not compatible the U80 has .5 unit spacing between the alphas and the F-row/nav cluster, whereas the No. 1 uses .25 unit spacing.
Vickery the future :cool:
Bid 10 billion if you always want in :cool: :cool: :cool:

Riot I'm curious as to your input on this article - seems to be the reason you went with a vickery, and I'm curious if this will be affecting your keyboards going forward - more expensive/exclusive/etc.
well said!https://kevinlynagh.com/notes/pricing-niche-products/ - currently #1 article on HackerNews
Riot I'm curious as to your input on this article - seems to be the reason you went with a vickery, and I'm curious if this will be affecting your keyboards going forward - more expensive/exclusive/etc.
I've been friends with Kevin for quite a while and it was indeed a conversation with him that led us towards the Vickrey auction. However, Kevin's comments in the article represent an outsider's perspective on the market using us as an example -- they aren't some kind of roadmap that we intend to follow. Our goal isn't to increase expense and exclusivity, but quite the opposite. If you look at our release quantities just this year (the only year Keycult has been seriously operating as a business), you'll see that, despite what some folks like to claim, we're quickly scaling up quickly:
January - No. 1/60 & No. 1/65 - 40 kits total (20 of each)
April - No. 2 - 20 kits total
June - No. 1 Rev. 1 TKL - 80 kits total (10 sold through Vickrey)
July - No. 2 Rev. 1 TKL Preorder - 75 preorder spots, 75 additional kits made, 150 kits total (10 planned to be sold through a Vickrey auction after preorders are delivered)
Our next release is planned to be at least as large or larger than the last. We're scaling as quickly as we feel is responsible given our means. While that might piss some people off, it's allowed us to grow while maintaining quality and working out kinks one bit at a time, instead of taking on some massive preorder that we might not know how to handle.
While we're growing, however, it's clear that supply is not equaling demand. I expect that in the future Vickrey auctions will no longer make sense for us as we get closer to having enough kits to meet demand for a particular release. At that point, we'll stop running them. In the meantime, we're not going to turn away money from people who would rather support our growth directly instead of having to buy the same item on the aftermarket. We'll continue pricing our kits in a way that we think is financially sustainable for Keycult as a business, and any additional money made from Vickrey auctions will allow us to scale and grow faster than we may have planned.
No. 1 60/65 - switched to full isolation gasket, original No. 1 TKL only had gasket material under the plate and not above
No. 1 Rev 1 - reduced typing angle from 9 to 8 degrees
No. 1 Rev 1 60/65 - added flex cuts around plate edges
One thing that would I think really help future keyboard hobbyists would be maintaining some kind of "revision log" of what changed between versions of each of your boards. E.g. things like:

That's a great suggestion and one that I've been thinking about doing. As for all colors of boards and what was available, we do have the information available through our releases page which lists all our past releases: https://keycult.io/collections
Saw byker's recently, these are super clean :cool:
Well it was TKL but I'd assume the others are the similar.
