Oh- well I really hope purple is included in the GB. Looks like the one in the OP image is purple/gold, yours looks like purple/light blue. Hoping for purple/gold

Same here - I am excited for this GB, but I don't really need another 65%. That dark purple/gold combo will make this an insta buy for me.

BTW - I'm assuming this wont be an FCFS or raffle...

It’s a FCFS

How do you know? Is there more info on this drop/board somewhere?

can you share your reasons for not supporting the minivan? I'd like to hear them
I will not support your products and you know exactly why. So i dont see the point to share it This is also a wrong thread for drama or what ever.

Wow...Carbon is probably my most favorite keyset of all time. But reading through the most recent posts about the lack of Minivan support is kind of concerning. Is the intention to hurt TheVanKeyboards or fans of your work? Because honestly, it only hurts those of us who are willing to spend quite a bit of money on your keysets to outfit our keyboards. Alienating part of the community because of some kind of grudge against Evan, doesn’t directly impact him...it makes those of us with Minivans suffer. I hope you reconsider your decision to leave out compatibility for the Minivan. This will be the 3rd time I’ve joined the drop for an incarnation of Carbon and I hope that I speak for a lot of us when I say that we would simply like to see our boards supported. It’s just a few keys and the least you can do to show love for this part of the community.

Keyboards / Heavy typing vs. short typing - do you prefer different keyboards?

« Last post by daneb on Fri, 20 July 2018, 03:54:00 »

Do you have different preferences regarding keyboards between heavy typing (long typing of texts without breaks) versus light/intermittent typing with often breaks (coding with thinking/looking for references, replying to short emails, googling etc)?

For me, it seems that I prefer different types, however I have not clarified yet for myself what the difference is - it does not seem to be just switch weight, but it is definitely one of the factors - e.g. I seem to like Unicomp (BS) or MX-style blue for longer texts, however I may prefer lighter keys (e.g. my new taihao apt soft click switch or some lighter better-quality rubber domes (BTC, Keytronic) for shorter, interrupted writing).

In other words, it seems that it is "getting into writing flow", what brings me pleasure from more heavy/tactile keyboards. Frequent interruptions, on the other hand, make their use unpleasant for me.

What are your opinions/experiences?
