What is the estimated weight and typing angle?
Do you have any plans for vendors in EU? We have to pay tons of taxes while importing keebs. So yeah its a bummer!
Are you planning on doing VIA compatibility?
Will the gaskets still work even the screws are directly connected with the plate and top case?

same question...
top mount and gasket do not seem to work together... unless the gasket is here for a different purpose.
the thicc board looks nice though :)
I was interested until i saw the GB is only for 100 units, 150 if they are feeling frisky? :))You're lucky actually, in discord they announced they changed the gb style to unlimited in the first 24 hours
Hey, who am i to complain. I just got into this hobby couple of months ago, i was just splurging on keebs, keycaps and switches until last week. But i'm still open to get a few more boards. I was shocked myself when i found out that i spent almost $2,000 in a month, for stuff i won't even get few months from now (GMK Keycaps will be 2021) LOL but hey i wanted to support the enthu that designs great stuff, not the flippers. And i wanted to buy more, i just started but people who get me into this saying that i already sank deep! LOL
So i hope Unlimited GB would be possible.
Really like the angles on this one 😋
With the port so low in the renders, is there a USB-C daughterboard involved?
ISO?
ISO?
We won't have ISO support this time around. We definitely plan to make more flexible options on future projects though.
Have you then allowed for the USB port to move with the gasketed PCB / plate? I guess there won’t be a lot of movement involved.Really like the angles on this one

We've vertically centred the port, we will update the renders this weekend :)

But with gaskets, I still prefer the USB daughterboard. I do realise it will be more expensive.
Whatever you decide, I’m still very interested. This board is a real looker.

agree! in a gasket mount board (without USB daughterboard), there should be some space for the USB port to flex. (even though the board would not flex that much when type normally)
if the cutout is too tight-fit, there is a stress on the USB port, which is not good. (ref: https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/h7gofy/polaris_owners_usb_port_stress/)

The daughter board isn't on any of the gaskets. It's completely separate and fits in the bezel at the back. There won't be any pressure on the USB port.

Not 100% sure as of yet. Since we will now have vendor support we have less say in this.

I see, i do understand. I hope Ilumkb or ZF will handle Asia GB, because they accept credit cards. I showed this to my buddies, they are also interested, however, all of us don't have PayPal, as for me it's more like i cannot use PayPal, my account was hacked and PayPal has yet to reimburse the funds i left there, so i don't really feel safe using PayPal. I hope you consider us non paypal users as well. ;D

Thanks for informing me! I'll look into it :)
Not the biggest fan of the thicc bezels but certainly interested for the prospect of getting a board with no shipping charge as a local. That would be different!
Also +1 for non-hotswap option.

We won't have a non-hotswap version this time around. Wilbas WT65-A will fit the case and layout though. You won't be able to screw it into the plate though, and it would just be held in by switches.

Question tho, usually there are different layout options for soldered version right? Since this is hot-swap version only, is it possible to have a stepped caps lock on this one? Still new don't know a lot of stuff.

You wouldn't be able to do different layouts. Our plate will only support one layout as it's meant for hot swaps. It's difficult to support multiple layouts with the hotswap sockets.

When's the date? I am in!
Recommending Daily Clack for Australian / Oceanic vendor!
When's the date? I am in!We are estimating that GB will be mid-September. Although this is subject to change.

Woo that's cloooose! Excited! What will the final colors be?
I wanted to get the purple one. Only if the blue one is a bit lighter, like sky blue or light blue, that's what i'll get. But i really wanted to see the protos first before i decide. Sadly Grey isn't an option. That would be the safest pick.
Yellow please! If yellow makes it to the group buy then I am buying it.

We may end up anodizing the colours instead of powder coating. If we end up going that route MOQ for any one colour is 5 instead of 50.

Bro, do we have final colors? I still need to decide what i'll get. Hopefully something that will fit GMK Phosphorus. As sadly i may have to let go of my Olivia++ :'(

We will do all colours, but it will be likely anodized. The colour will not be exact to the references. The delays on the prototype are because the manufacturers trying to get the anodized colours close.
GB Date yet?

Have you confirmed any other PCB's that may work in the case? I'm fine with the PCB not being able to be screwed on, but would really prefer to have a soldered version with a different layout. Thank you!
EDIT: Just realized, probably not, as they'll need to be compatible with the Unified C3 Daughterboard.
How thick is the plate going to be?
Fantastic board! I filled out both interest checks, asking for blue and white. Just want to let you know I also would really love to see purple thrown in there. I think I'd end up buying one safe color and one more out there color such as purple. Fingers crossed theres no blocker, see you at the group buy :D!
Is this using plate mounted stabs or we praying to the gods of friction?
Oh that's cool, good work around. Do you think it affects sound/stiffness?Is this using plate mounted stabs or we praying to the gods of friction?
The plate has standoffs to mount the PCB.

Price seems great. Design looks right up my alley but for some reason I have hard time seeing how it is in real life. Something about the steep angles from the bezels. Anyway for now I'm definitely in for this.
Is the brass base as an option confirmed?
Strange to have all of that thickness and the keycaps still stick up over the top edge, exposing the switch housings underneath. I would prefer to see the pcb/plate assembly lowered at least a milimeter to hide the switches.
Hoping an Australian vendor specifically Switch Keys is possible!
ISO?
Really excited for this! Keep up the great work!
Loving this thicccc bezel

How do you figure? Don't get me wrong, I love the keyboard, but it doesn't seem all that "innovative" to me. Pretty standard stuff. Nothing ground breaking, but still awesome.

Combination of being new to the scene, so I haven't seen much, and this being the first time I've ever seen something with this 'pyramid-esque' form factor. TL;DR it's new and innovative to me :))
This is interesting. Can I ask what the front height is? Thanks.
Really like the look of this keyboard, but from all the build streams and sound tests so far, it always seems a bit pingy and hollow, especially the space bar :-XThen it might not be for you. You just have to decide if the looks out weight the sound for you. Sound might be the most subjective thing there is. It sounds fine to me.

I think he's talking about how it's not up on ilumkb yet. The vendors will all be uploading according to their own schedule. I don't know when ilumkb will have it up. Kono will be in the morning in NA, Deskhero will be midnight EST.

It's hard to give an estimate as we don't know the final quantity sold. The manufacturer can handle about 250 boards/month, possibly more if we reach a certain threshold. Shipping easily is another month or two. Boards should start being delivered at the very least 4 months after GB ends. COVID restrictions are also something I can't account for. By end of the year should be easily achievable. I hope that helps! :)
First post, first GB, first potential build! I'm wondering if there's anything that usually happens in between now and shipping. Production updates? Anybody sharing build ideas? Already have the keycaps picked out (Drop MT3 Camillo) and been playing with a switch tester for the better part of a week. Something about the shorter travel of the ink yellow and the tactility of the ink kangaroo that has me completely torn. Either way, super excited for what's to come.
