Oh damn, is that layout final? Dunno if I’d get this without a split space option, even if only in the solder PCB. Sad to hear about the Green being so low too cuz I think it’s my fave out of the existing colors lol

Let me ask to see if split space support can be added to the solder, I'll let you know if our designer is able to add. Also, green was my favorite as well :-[ However, it seems more people are wanting green so we might keep it. I think blue will be the color that will be replaced.

For people who want split space, 3u+1u+3u or 2.75u+1.25u+2.25u?

Not all sets / spacebar child kits have double 3u, so I'd say 2.75u + 1.25u + 2.25u.
Really hyped for this board :D

There’s been a lot more offering double 3u lately thankfully. That said there’s definitely more variety for 2.75-1.25-2.25. Luckily I’m good with either even if I prefer the look of 3-1-3.
EDIT: I see after further inspection that the screws do appear slightly recessed which is great.
Love this, only thing I want to know/improve is if the screws on the bottom are recessed or flat against the case, would prefer recessed to avoid over tightening screws just to make sure it doesn’t scratch my desk surface but this is minor comment.

Hey monstermandude, the screws for the weight are recessed (countersunk), and the rest of the case screws should be flush to the case. The rubber feet should also help prevent scratching. For one of the photos, I accidentally did not screw in one of the case screws all the way, so sorry if that worried you haha

In that case, I'll let people decide in the Google form:Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/hetOKdp.png)
If there isn't a strong response after a week or two, we'll go with 3-1-3 because you asked first. :thumb:
To be fair, I prefer regular Tsangan bottom row on 60s, so hopefully 3-1-3 wins ;)
Also, were hotswap PCBs just added or did I just miss them yesterday?
Oh, another thing I forgot to add, is there only gonna be FR4 plate option? I don't really have any other 60s (only one in the way) so idk if this one's just compatible with other universal plates. FR4 isn't exactly my fave material lol.
Edit: Oh and PCB support, for that matter, too.
Make the wrist rest happen for the aesthetic
make the weight screws internal
I also agree with some of the others that maybe finding a way to have the weight screws not be visible would be a good idea as long as it doesn't majorly affect machining costs and price.
Is there any chance for this to have different plate options? I like FR4 myself but wondering in case others don't /want to change it up. If not is there any plans to release the files for the plates so people can make ones out of materials not offered (POM for example).
Is it possible to offer a HHKB top?

Sorry, yes just FR4. We originally did aluminum plate but its costs were too high (24USD at 100 units and 18USD at 300 units). We didn't want our base kit to go over 200USD. With multiple plate options, it's hard to predict the quote for each option so certain plates might be much more expensive on our side. Since this is our first project, we wanted options to be very simple so that GB runs smoothly.
There are ways to use your own plate/PCB however. For top-mount, you will have to stick with the FR4 plate, but you can use any 60% PCB that is compatible with the Unified Daughterboard. For O-ring gasket mount, if you're able to find a PCB(compatible with Unified Daughterboard)/plate combo that supports O-ring and connect via JST, you can use a different PCB + plate. The O-ring we included should be thinner to help fit screw-in stabilizers.
For our next project, we'll be sure to have more options. Which one is your favorite btw?

I really like the color of the green anode, hope that's kept in for the GB.
Hello, are you looking for a reviewer on Tiktok? I am very interested in this project !
Currently can't tell you for sure as I'm typing from a steel plate right now but I have FR4 on the way as I like the sound profile from what I've seen videos of so far. I just think in general especially for budget boards like you said the Navi60 will be that there should be a lot of options so people can find their custom sound they want.
Also been wondering about this because of the recent issues with manufacturers doing the coating colors wrong is if the images you've posted are prototypes or renders (the ones on the desk) because I'm still not the best at telling some renders apart lol. Still super excited for the keeb either way I just wanted to ask since a lot of designers and creators have been kinda screwed over by the manus lately and that of course gives problems downstream to the GB participants.
Also I know it is kind of late but maybe it would be cool for a future project to make an artisan keycap based on the Psyche chip since it is in a sort of keycap shape already.
wow nevermind that's super cheap, nevermind the external screws lmao
I dunno if I can shell out money for another 60%, but this is sick dude. GLWIC!
Super excited for this, i'm most likely going for the white/beige but maybe beige/silver if the renders are nice..
I feel like this will look really nice with my osume dalgona's haha
Actually looks pretty nice especially for the price (maybe that's because Lain is one of my favourite anime idk) just need to know the weight and the ehk because that's important info when it comes to buying a keyboard.
Good luck with the gb.
Will you consider including a carrying case? I've historically had a lot of trouble storing and transporting (to the office, etc) boards that did not come with a carrying case.
Is there a clearer image of this plate, as the only image is hard to see?
also hhkb/wkl top would be nice to have as an option as well but I'm not sure if that's possible since it seems gb times have been set just not specifically
also also please package this with a carrying case, would prefer it much more than the standard packaging as it reduces a lot of the waste that normal boxes has.
Saw this recently on Alexotos stream, any chance in hell to get HKKB and WKL blockers??
hope we could get a malaysian vendor in on this :D
Hey psychtype, is October 2023 the final GB date target? Also, what's the lead time from manufacturing and delivery for someone with the same home country as DeskDaily? Peace, I really hope this GB crushes it.

No more e-white?
Hello,
Super interesting board!
I have 2 questions:
1. I did notice some movements of the plate and PCB in Alexotos video. Is that totally fine to use?
2. Can I build the o-ring config with hotswap PCB?
Thank you!
