Any target GB date and what’s the estimated lead time? Looking for a board that would deliver Q4 2021/Q1 2022 and this checks most of my boxes.

Colours for round 1 are pretty set at this stage. We may run another round next year with a new range of colours - what would you be interested in?

We are hoping to start the GB in August/September, however this depends on if there are any delays from the manufacturer with the prototypes (covid etc.). Turnaround depends on how many we sell, though we would expect around 6-8 months from GB.

The PLX been in development for over 6 months so just a coincidence that the designs are similar. This IC was also posted before the Pneuma. Can guarantee you we had never seen the board while designing this :)

PLX has larger bezels on the side. I like large bezels, but I see the utility in a narrower board.

They both have simple classic designs, so I don’t think anybody stole any designs here. But you’re right, at first sight they look similar.

What else I can discern, as a n00b outsider:

Pneuma has a stainless steel base, which makes the machining more expensive. (More blunt chisels. ) PLX still has a SS weight, so it’s heavy too, but the weight is probably simpler to machine, so I suspect it’s more pragmatic.

I don’t know about the difference in typing feel - I remember about “slow rebounding gaskets” in the Pneuma, I think.

I wouldn’t mind either, to be fair. But Pneuma will be more expensive, especially because most of the rest of the world has to upgrade their money to Euros to pay. I would love a Salvun-made board, but Salvation r2 will definitely be cheaper as a first Salvun special.

Any idea how much shipping is going to be to the US? I'm increasingly interested in this board, but I'm scared to know how much shipping will be from Aus.

Hey Diggidy, not sure on shipping prices yet. We will be likely using DHL for international shipping and the board weighs approx. 2.5kg - maybe you can estimate based on that information?

We will be sending prototypes to the US for reviews, so can update you on estimated shipping prices based on the shipping cost of that.

Rest assured, we will be trying to get the cheapest (and safest) possible shipping options for international purchasers. Appreciate the support - stay safe!

Much of the design language here really resonates with me. HHKB is an insta-cop for me.

Will the phantom black with polished stainless combo be available?

I see the proto photos have them (love it, personally), but the phantom colorway has a black pvd bottom weight.

Hi Rubik,

The base phantom kit will only be offered with the black PVD weight at this stage. However, we are planning on offering extra weights if you wish to purchase a silver weight with your order.

Cheers!

Hopefully November / December for GB. We are still waiting on second round prototypes - getting all the colours perfect has been difficult.

The consistent thick bezel and centered cable are a great combo. Prototype looks insane... great stuff :thumb:

Glad you like the consistent bezels, seems to be a love or hate design choice. Appreciate the kind words!

The subtle off-white colouring, the tasteful thickness of the bezel. Oh my god, even the edges are chamfered.
