while talking to my friend who had this as his pfp he pointed out the similarities

How much did the board cost during the Discord groupbuy?

$505 base
$65 extra red half alu plate
$55 extra h60 and jst cable

Yes, and keep in mind that the discord gb is for a different design (with less than 50 units) as you can see here:

what made you change the design for this IC?

If I understand your question correctly: The design hasn't changed for this IC. The IC for Eon came first. The design was changed for the Discord GB that came afterward, to differentiate them.

Eon = Public GB on Geekhack

Aeon = Discord GB

In my honest opinion Discord version is more unique.

Good to hear! That was largely the plan:

A small discord-only Group Buy for a new revision of this board, in order to gear up for a larger public GH run, is happening now!

As an incentive to join sometimes designers offer a 'special edition' color that will never run again, or maybe even a weight made out of a different material. For this round I am offering something along those lines, but far more unique.

Join my Discord Server for more details.

Thanks for asking!

looks very clean, i like it

GLWIC!

Well hello there, Geekhack!

It feels like forever, but quite a lot has happened since my last update:

1. A Discord GB for the Aeon variant of this design has been completed!
2. A small plate GB providing compatibility for Aeon between different versions of the hiney h60 pcb is nearing completion.
3. I fell in love with making keycaps!

All the experience and feedback ive gained since completing the Aeon GB has gone into the final revision and I can't wait to bring Eon to you guys in 2023!

More details including GB date to come.

Please let me know if you have any questions, comments, or feedback in the meantime!

I like it, I would buy but in another similar buy. Please keep up making the low profile wedges.

Cat photo is great

Really dig the design. However, can we expect  a TKL or something with a F-row in the future?

At this point im putting all my focus into making this current project as good as it can be, as im a firm believer in completing one thing at a time to the best of my ability - but who knows what the future may bring!

I do have a few potential future projects previewed in discord fwiw. Always appreciate feedback!

for $500 i would expect full brass bottom tbh

for $500 i would expect full brass bottom tbh

I would love to offer an option like that, but do you think its possible that adding extra weight to a wedge-design could work against itself, as it doesn't have any handles to take advantage of when picking up the board off the desk?

Fwiw, I have quoted a full brass bottom for a similar project and that is about what it would cost to manufacture a brass bottom alone for this design in small quantities. I would definitely be willing to make it happen, but we would need another 49-100+ people interested in buying one to make it possible to produce an entire board at that price point with the manufacturers I am working with.

In any case, we are pretty far along in the IC process for this board at this point, but I will take your input into consideration for future projects!

looking good! in for 1 red

big congrats on the first run of the board!

Ayy, much appreciated!

Not long now. Really enjoying top-mount with such a low front-height

Engraving finalized!

Looks really good, would be interested in a future round with 1.5u corner blockers (MX HHKB) and a split backspace option for the plate.

Split Backspace will be included in the GB version!

Now that you mention it, here are all the available plate layout options:



Got a few other designs lined up after this, but ill keep the mx hhkb idea in mind for the future. Appreciate the input, DJSwayde!
