I know you guys have stated that PC will be an option no matter what, but will we get to pick the color of the frosted polycarb ourselves?

Frosted polycarb is just that og polycarb color. You might be able to dye it to other colors :)

Too late to put it into the poll, but after reading quite a few Instagram comments and the google form comments, white-pink seems to be a thing, any thoughts?

I am just psyched that PC Version is going to be a thing. But because i am up for possibly buying a second one in Aluminum option, i have polled in on my choice of color. I am honestly up for almost any color/combo at this point. I will just find a keycap set to match! Can't wait!

Oh, I guess I misunderstood the first page render since there was a frosted pink look. Would this look be best achieved with a blue alum bottom and a polycarb top and can you mix and match like that?

Dude, i was just thinking the same thing! I am thinking of buying 2, and swapping the top/bottom. So one with Alu-Top with PC bottom. Then having one with a PC top and Alu-bottom!

@Oldcat

Am I right from looking at the prototype PCB pics that there is no per-key lighting except for a through-hole LED on the caps lock key? I mostly just use backlighting to remind myself which layer I'm using, but I was just curious.

Oldfox, [got your name wrong there, sorry! OldCat, reading too many forums at once!] there are two caps sets I'm interested in currently, GMK Modern Dolch R2 and GMK Moonlight. I think especially Modern Dolch will be very popular, and you seem interested in Moonlight as well.

Is there a chance you can do a render with one or both of these caps sets, please?

I will be responding to some of the questions above a bit later, just want to put this Unit-01 colorway out here to see if this will be something of interest. If the green bottom is too much, maybe a black bottom?

do we have a render with black bottom? I'm swinging towards the purple/green cause it's bold, striking, and a little truer to the actual eva unit 01 design.

You already know I'm on board for this, but registering my interest in this colourway here as well since its the official place for it. Either black or green bottom would be great.

If the green bottom and orange badge were made available separately I'd get that with a black case.

Green bottom fa sho. Liking it with the upper badge.

EDIT: Didn't look into this board til I saw it on the GMK Unit 01 thread. Also interested in knowing about choice of top/bottom colors, and more so about split space bar.

Might have to get a white top/black bottom and EVA 01. >_<

So awesome to see all the possible colors!

It's hard to tell how grey is this grey, and I wonder if it's possible to render how the GMK Modo looks on the grey case (maybe even with cyan accent color)? Thanks if the render could happen!

Hey oldcat, just wanted to ask if this design comes with a USB-C daughterboard? I just saw the Polaris having an issue with the usb port due to its gasket mount design (https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/h7gofy/polaris_owners_usb_port_stress/),
will this be an issue too or not?

[Edited for readability.]

Oldcat, I saw this post and your immediate reply a few posts below that. Your reply was that you have a different design to the Polaris, and you are awaiting prototypes to confirm there isn't a similar issue.

I looked for a follow-up reply about this after you received prototypes. However, this thread is now 19 pages long, so it's a bit hard to search. (Please point out the obvious way of searching if I'm missing it.)

Did you ever revisit this and test it again?

It’s been tested and there is no such issue as shown on Polaris (which itself isn’t really a serious issue I believe unless you smash the keys, but be assured it does not appear at all with thinkv2). I will show how much the gaskets will cover soon, issue with Polaris isn’t really the gaskets, but lack of gaskets on the sides and towards the edges I would surmise

Thanks for the answer Oldcat. Your reasoning seems sound to me as an outsider.

Thanks! As it will be publicly tested via one or more live streams, I am sure it will be discussed and tested during the stream given this appears to be an important issue for gasket mount boards.

Received some good feedback regarding the Unit-01, and I think purple top - black bottom - green badge will make a better sense, since it will be more compatible with other sets, such as Laser, 2600, and more.

For the regular colorways, will do some simple math, perhaps combine some "duplicated colorways" (e.g., black-pink and pink-black) into one. Will share the results sometime next week.

Here are some renders for the updated Unit-01 colorway:

As much as I like the bold green bottom, black makes the green keyset accents pop more. I'm down. +1 to an EVA badge, but still down without.
