this set makes me really wish i got the rose gold version of the tokyo60

m60 is up  ;D

Considering the ongoing problems with the m65...

Those were all because of jchan though, which is probably why Rama is doing everything. Same story with Exent actually.

How were problems with the pcb because of jchan?  There were similar problems with the software for a couple of his pads.

Hang on, I'm out of the loop. What ongoing problem does the M65 have? I thought everyone is happy with that board? Software or hardware?

Hardware

Lot of issues with static electricity it sounds like.

Yes, ESD protection is not very good, apparently.  And problem with components and assembly.  The thread has a few issues like that, and on a premium board, I'd not expect the problems with the PCB and such.  Like I said, cool design, and I wanted one.  But like many things I've missed, I'm glad I didn't get in. 

Hopefully the second run for restock on KeyClack will have better luck.  Won't buy 'til onhand though at best.  I feel for jchan and his personal issues, but that doesn't mean I'm going to throw money and hope for the best...

The thing is that the M60 and the M65 aren't going through the same people. M60 is run by Rama himself and not through Keyclack. I've never had any issues with Rama run buys.

Could be and we'll see.  I've never seen him run a full buy of this magnitude before.  And logistics are a ***** on something like this.

Thank you so much for your feedback and support, I truly appreciate it!!

I assume it's way too late for this, but any chance of an R2 1.5u backspace for split backspace/HHKB style boards? That R2 backspace in the extras kit looks like a 2u, I guess for some 40% boards?

The 3-D renders seem to target a higher intensity pink shade than the more neutral warmer beige Pantone 55-9 C seen on the layout schematic.  Having looked up 55-9 C, I do wonder now how much warmer/more orangey-beige it will end up vs "rose gold" anodized keyboards, which tend to be more on the pink side, and not quite like true rose gold (for instance, Apple's Rose Gold is definitely too pink compared to real rose gold).  It's one of my favorite materials, but I did concede a while ago that "rose gold" anodized things look more pink rather than rose gold.  I am paying extra close attention to shade variations in this set to understand what it will be like, since I have a "rose gold" anodized M65-a and a TKL with a "rose gold" aluminum plate and accents.

Yeah but as someone who likes to put Del in the top right of a split backspace layout, having an actual Backspace legend on that 1.5u R2 cap is nice. Delete right on top of Delete doesn't really look right :)

It's not going to change at this point. You could always put a different R1 key there, for example the - from the numpad might work well for delete.

Looking over the renders I'm seeing a handful with a R2 1.5U Backspaces but the kits themselves don't seem to have them?

I did see a R2 1.5U Delete key which honestly wouldn't bother me too much, but I was just curious if this set would/would not include the said Backspace.

Right! I knew I wasn't going crazy, I'd seen it in one of the renders :) Would have brought it up earlier if I hadn't seen it there.

It's interesting to me that the 1.5u backspace isn't standard across all the GMK sets trying to achieve max compatibility with common layouts. It only shows up in about half of recent sets, I feel like.

I think this is just because "Backspace" is too long to fit in one line on an 1.5u key and with the line break it does not look that good. So going for "Delete" is the best option if you do not want to use this ugly cross in a box icon or the arrow, which just looks like a left arrow key.

If it is not too late to change it, you should consider adding a 2.75 U spacebar to the extras kit. That way you could cover splitspacebar layouts, since you already have a 2.25U in the kit

I agree the icons aren't great (my preference is the left arrow looking icon), but "Backspace" does fit w/o a line break. GMK Serika has it, and I can't recall which older sets have it but I'm pretty sure Serika isn't the first.

I personally prefer the left arrow icon as well; in a way similar to GMK 9009 or GMK Taro

It is a bit late unfortunately :( There is a 2.75u right shift that could be used for split spacebar though, sorry!

Regarding the 1.5u Backspace key, I didn't want to do an icon only, or a version of backspace with without the icon or line break so Delete was the only remaining choice :D

Extras Kit is still making a last minute decision.
