Are you the same one who made this, stole from someone else's design? I remember from a Blacksimon stream.
happy to see it was resolved . Design looks solid overall, but what does the engraving above the arrow say?
skipping the IC form as I do not want to give out an email. Is there an option of winkey for the board?
can you share more details on the internals and assembly.
any protos that you're working on?
can we get some renders of the board in the different colours? I know that renders dont represent the product to 100% but it gives me at least a idea on what it may look like/turn out.
Ah, kinda shame that there isnt a SG vendor or a SEA vendor :(
would it be possible to offer the option to buy extra top cases? id like to buy one unit with two top cases.
Looking good! Would like to see VIA compatibility as well if possible.
Is there also an estimate for the price at the moment?

Thank you! It says 豪鬼 which is translated from japanese to english: Akuma

Wow... they def aren't the same and most keebs are similar in style anyway. Keep your negativity elsewhere.

If I'm not wrong it says 悪魔 but regardless it does mean Akuma!
I really like the keyboard however I'm unsure about the top engraving. It might not appeal to non-Japanese speakers. Have you considered using "Akuma" or just leaving it blank?Hello! And thank you for taking time to comment.
Will there be an option for soldered PCB?Hello! Sorry but no, there will not be any soldered pcb.
one of the pictures shows ISO style enter key. does the hotswap pcb support stepped caps and iso enter key?Hi there! These renders was made before we decided not to do a iso version, there will only be Ansi offered. Thank you for mention this.
does the keyboard come with any foam? will there be any reviewers for proto? thanks!
There is no poll on the interest check form.
You should offer ISO layout for the keyboard esp. since you have an ISO enter in the keycaps...
board is really nice looking but the weight engraving is very gaudy to me. would jump on this if that wasnt the case. but very nice none the less. glwic
the demon face+characters+akuma. It’s just a bit much. I personally like simplicity. Perhaps if it didn’t say akuma or didn’t have the characters or didn’t have the demon engraving, it would be more pleasant. Having all three is just a bit much for me.board is really nice looking but the weight engraving is very gaudy to me. would jump on this if that wasnt the case. but very nice none the less. glwic
I’m just curious. What about the engraving do you think is too gaudy?

Hi, I'm very sorry but we decided not to offer ISO layout for the keyboard. The keycaps offer both versions.
The keycaps will not be included as a package with the keyboard, which means that some people may want to buy the keycaps for other types of keyboards.
Waaaaalkhhh … the one in the stream was darker and less matte (ie more shiny) than the one in the renderShow Image(https://geekhack.org/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=117068.0;attach=285646;image)
Oh only 500 units? That’s not that high when there are 2000 people waiting or not? Will be sold out instantly. Really hope I will be able to grab one :(
Oh Thank god, I was worried that, it was the gray. But your answer also not confidence inspiring, are you saying that you don’t know if the gray will be close to the render or not? What about the red? The one picture looks darker than the render. It doesn’t look fire hydrant red like render does.

Oh yes. So it’s minimum 500? On the kbd site it says „QTY : limited item with 500 units MAX“ which for me means only 500 will be sold.

We do not have a prototype of the red, this is only renders.
We do have prototype of the Black and purple.
The purple is the version which was sent to Alexotos.
The black you can see pictures in the beginning of this threat (pictures taken by KBDfans)
The other colours are renders.
I will talk with kbdfans and see if i can get the colour codes that shows exacly which colours we are going to use.
The purple is RAL 300 20 10.
This colour can look slightly different in real life depending on light, anodize and so on.
All colours exept the purple are colours which KBDfans already tested. The purple was custom made.
I hope this makes it abit more clear for you.
And im sorry i cant give you real pictures of all the colours.
Hello, sorry for the confusion, there will be moq 500 and also max limit of 500. Only 500 units will be sold.Oh only 500 units? That’s not that high when there are 2000 people waiting or not? Will be sold out instantly. Really hope I will be able to grab one :(

Is it 500 max or minium now? This will decide if I need to wake up at 3 am to try ordering as fast as possible. :(

Updates 2022-08-02
R2 Prototypes are made and everythings works perfect! (We had to change the PC plate version cutouts, it had to much flex. This is already fixed.)
We are waiting for the package to be done, this should only take a few more days.
Kbdfans will send one prototype to me and one to Taeha Types for content.

I've joined GB and bought a purple one, but I'm still curious about this keyboard review.
I have searched on various platforms, but couldn't find anyone who reviewed this keyboard other than Alexotos. (or maybe I missed something)
can you provide timeline info when and who streamers will review this keyboard.
thanks
The keycaps have not been announced yet, we had to do some updates and changes on the set to fit the mold.Updates! 2022-08-02
