[IC] Modern M0110

[rowie]

I’m so down for the purple. Now I’ll have reason to buy the Mitolet kit from the Pulse drop and the all purple mods from Troubled Minds.

[SixtyLife]

interested

[Dead Encryption]

GMK Metaverse, renders of this sexy board are coming soon! Can't wait to get one in my hands! 

[mago]

Definitely wanting the black cerakote version

[parityb1t]

Just spent a while reading this thread. so ... dope. Also very torn between a classic look and a modern one hmm. but definitely keeping an eye for one, especially since its coming out of the EU

Hey guys

Just wanted to give a super quick update. We thought we were super close to launching this GB, but our manufacturer in the US is having some issues which is making the prototype take a lot longer than expected. He's a guy with years of experience and already provided a lot of interesting knowledge as to how to make the design more suitable for manufacturing, so we still have full confidence in this working out. However, we are already looking into other options in case it doesn't. This will minimise extra delay in case we do need to switch. We really want to get this board finally to the GB stage with perfect quality, and if that means switching manufacturers again we'll have to go through that :|

I hope you understand that sorting manufacturing stuff out is fairly new to us, and as we said before we would rather have this take a couple more weeks than to launch it now and deliver a subpar product.

However, I fully promise you: it will be worth it in the end

Thanks for all the support on this project!

PS: here's a pic I took the other day of our previous prototype with Calm Depths

This is good news, a little longer is better for me; $$$

Any chance for alps compatibility?

Alps support would be amazing.  The trouble is, of course, keycaps.  I'm going to say that the layout will make alps a no go, sadly.  Unless someone can convince a vendor to start making non-standard alps keycaps

That plate supports both MX and ALPS, and the ALPS64 should work in this case since it supports normal GH60 cases

I am pretty new to the ALPS game so I am confused on what this means exactly. Does this mean I can use my alps Costar stabilizers that come with my alps board with this plate? Do I have to use ALPS keycaps that have cherry mounts for the stabs? Not sure

[bloos]

I'm guessing kbdfans' gk64 pcb won't work with this?
Are there any hot-swappable 60% pcbs available out there that will work with this? Or is the only option to buy hot-swappable sockets and put them in a pcb myself if I want hot-swappability?

You just missed it!
You can always just put Holtites in the DZ60 or similar.

The HS-60 didn't have split right shift and the bottom row was different, honestly the HS-60 should've had a HHKB option with the bottom left and right CTRL, one with normal back space and one with the HHKB one.

[Perfex]

There will be an hhkb version in the future according to what the vendor stated, he wanted to start with the common pcbs first.

Count me in on this one.

Ooi im stoked for this, definitely in for one

Is there a way I can be notified when the group buy goes live?

Also now that you've posted in the thread this thread'll pop up in your "show unread topics since last visit".

Just check that every once in a while.

so what are the all available color choices so far?

edit: oh, think i found it,
    Anodised silver
    Anodised space gray
    Cerakoted beige
    Cerakoated black

btw, is there any way to search a thread?

Yes the colors are correct we will also offer custom Cerakote colors as an additional option. As for the second question, I think the search box on geekhack by default searches the current thread in view?

GB DATES ANNOUNCED!! This group buy will be running 6/29 - 7/22 on deskcandy.xyz and clavier.xyz (EU - Janglad's new site).

Any guesses on what shipping is going to look like?

[long_qt_pie]

Is it just hhkb top row or does it support full BS too?

[Mekuno]

Gives me some time to save and buy

[janglad]

Is it just hhkb top row or does it support full BS too?

Supports normal backspace and split backspace, ANSI and ISO enter, 2.25 and 1.25 1 left shift setups; 2.75 u, 1.75u + 1u and 1u + 1.75u and normal or stepped caps lock

[Valaris]

Judging by the weight, I'm scared.

We're looking into shipping quotes. Weight will indeed make it more expensive, however it will be shipping via a proxy instead of shipping out of Asia which will make a big difference in pricing!! Should turn out a lot cheaper than most custom GBs still!

[voight-kampff]

is maybe micro-arc oxidation an option?

[dead_pixel_design]

Should turn out a lot cheaper than most custom GBs still!

Really need this to be the case. I can't keep blowing my KB budget with all of these 'must-haves'. But I'm not going to miss this, so I'm really hoping this is in the "reasonably affordable" range

No chance for a Canadian shipping proxy is there? I'm trying to avoid customs fees like I got with the m65 ($90)

What type of bottom row will the switch plate support?
1 1.5 7 1.5 1 only or would it support say AEK 1.25, 1.5, 6.5, 1.5, 1.25?
I really want to put together Alps64 + Alps switchs + AEK keycaps on this board.

Correct me if i'm wrong here op but I believe for this round it's HHKB bottom row only.

Engrave lower left corner of top case

Only HHKB and only PCB-mount Cherry stabilisers. You'd have to get a custom plate made to use AEK keycaps.

Good to see the plate up close.  AEK keycaps -> custom plate.  Gotcha.
Just curious, with the default switch plate, what type of Alps keycaps can I use?

[katotaka]

hmmmm I kinda wanna see Oblique caps on this

[dantambok]

can't wait! now to decide what color to get

[janglad]

Hey guys!

Just wanted to give some quick clarifications of some things I've been seeing pop up on the Discord:

• Flex!Wobble!
  I've seen people worrying about the plate adding more wobble/flex because of multiple layouts and switch types. As for switch wobble: I too had this worry, and we were planning on going with a fixed MX only layout with no switch top removal. However I changed my mind once I got my prototype. The cutout supports the switches very well and does not allow for any more wobble than on say a Moon/Mira/Mech27 plate (have tested this). As for flex, this actually is a sturdier plate than you would find on say a Duck Viper! This is because of our fixed 1 1.5 7 1.5 1 bottom row. Like I mentioned before, layout options are as follows: normal/HHKB backspace, stepped/normal caps lock, split/normal shift.
• Is there a PCB included?
  The base kit does not include a PCB. We didn't choose to force everyone to buy a PCB since there are so many 60% options out there, and a lot of you probably have some sitting at home waiting to be built anyway! We will however be offering the option to buy a PCB with the board!
• Is there an Asian proxy?
  As of now: no. However, we have been in talks with one but just didn't confirm it yet. Reason being we're not sure how many people out of SEA are interested in getting a board. If you would order through a SEA proxy, please make some leave a comment. I have absolutely no idea how many orders we would get through a SEA proxy and if it would be viable for us so this could help us get an idea.

[janglad]

Here's a quick video of the plate (excuse the quality  ), this is obviously way more force than you'll ever apply when typing but like you can see it holds up well

Alps keycaps with Cherry stab inserts such as Signature Plastics Alps keycaps will work great out of the box - other Alps stabilized switches might require you to use alternative inserts and/or custom bent stab wire. If you want keycaps that are guaranteed to work well check out the IC for Alps throwback:

Regarding the SEA proxy, would be awesome (i'm from the philippines). But worst case, I'll still order one with or without the asian proxy
