So I'm just gonna ask even though the answer is 95-100% no; any option for HHKB? :PThere was a true HHKB layout option in round 1 so it's possible.
Quick heads up: the IC form seems to be messed up. Even if I say I am interested on the 2nd round it says this:I noticed that too haha. He's gone to bed though.Show Image(https://cl.ly/6010617a7db7/download/Image%202019-01-14%20at%207.48.32%20PM.png)

EDIT: I saw an option in the google form. Were you after a 7u symmetrical version instead?
WOW DLC? I'm no longer for 60% keebs but DLC alone could change my mind (65% would be the top notch tho). May i ask why R1 full brass was $250 and this is $380-400 btw?I can answer the first question - because he lost money on the R1 brass.
Also, YES a bottom not in PC could be great, especially on the DLC/PVD version, BRASS/SS DLC BOTTOM :thumb:
Since you are going All-In with DLC on SS, you could consider a thick brass plate too.
Bottom in brass/ss and DLC/PVD + Brass THICC plate would be instabuy to be honest.

Yes, the more regular 7u option :) 6u spacebars are a pain in the a.. to get :(Ya, not lot of people want it, and we'll release the plate design anyway.

The cost of each case in last round is around $340...
(case with defect, surface treatment are major problem)
We think we'll make it lesser this time, but not much :(Also, YES a bottom not in PC could be great, especially on the DLC/PVD version, BRASS/SS DLC BOTTOM :thumb:Quantity is not enough to do that now :(

How about 2x3u with HHKB blockers? You can use the same plate and PCB, just need a case that will cover the gaps.
To me that's the optimal 60% layout -- "true HHKB" 6u spacebar, but split. Doesn't get any better unless you do something exotic like ortholinear or Katana60.
And completely impossible to get caps for afaik. Not a single GMK set that has 3u right?
Vote for 7u hhkb and solid bottom
Vote against thick integrated and leds
Would be totally down for an all white 65% :( :(
Making thick bottom with PVD/DLC stainless or brass is not possible based on quantity in round 1.
And the price will be insane. ($100 up for bottom only, 20 orders)
Thin one will not able to avoid the sound issue.
And the price might need +30 up for thin one.
$100 up, and I have to sell at least 20 pcs of them 0.0...Making thick bottom with PVD/DLC stainless or brass is not possible based on quantity in round 1.

Bottom thick angled and DLC is +$100? It would be ok for me tbh
+$30 for a thin DLC? Totally OK Sennin. Tons of people paid +$50 or more (don't remember) for a bottom brass pvd for the Doro67, which was just a 3mm flat plate basically.
Please give us one of these option, these difference are totally acceptable, doesn't make any sense to me to have a PC/plastic bottom on the top made of SS+DLC

polish and dlc/pvd coating cost around $30~$40 each for low quantity.
thin plate can use polished plate to make, polishing will be skipped.
I can add the option, but I don't think there's enough order to support it.
cheaper, but still need sell 20+ bottom at least.$100 up, and I have to sell at least 20 pcs of them 0.0...Making thick bottom with PVD/DLC stainless or brass is not possible based on quantity in round 1.

maybe the bottom can be made with brass+sandblast or brass +eplating. Afterall it's just the bottom and eplating shouldn't be expensive.

I'll echo the comments that a white 65% would be amazing. :)
The polished case is extremely beautiful, but I would be very afraid of scratching it and leaving fingerprints. This would be a build where it would be on display and never be used lol +1You could keep it plugged in while on the stand and use it as an rgb light.

I mean holy ****, how come nobody even notices the metal hhkb.
So the real question is, topre version when?
be careful when using rm -rf :-*[cut]Show Image(https://imgur.com/edXhHm4.jpg)

It's a custom made plate by rm-rf, 1/1 prime :cool:
I would be interested in a carbon fiber universal plate (compatible w/ gh60 arrow layout) and an inexpensive steel base instead of polycarb. Still have not built my R1 since I would greatly prefer the carbon fiber plate and also a heavier base.

Can we put the HHKB in the HHKB layout chiwi60? (round1 or round2) as seen here https://imgur.com/edXhHm4.jpg?I guess he designed his own plate based on our plate file.

Is there a prototype of the stainless steel version?No.
Can it starts towards the end of March? It is kind of too sudden for me to prepare...Might able to push the end date a little.
I really want to join!

We made prototype with brass, but there's some tiny spot, I can't show the issue through pics, sorry.
Been told it is because of brass is harder to control, they get impure spot easily.
I asked several manufacturers, most of them suggest me switch to stainless to solve the issue.Can it starts towards the end of March? It is kind of too sudden for me to prepare...Might able to push the end date a little.

We've arrange most of things with manufacturer before lunar new year @@
You might also consider get it later.
We have to make much more than people ordered this time because of MoQ and high fail rate in R1.

This is black DLC.Show Image(https://imgur.com/9tMybs5.jpg)
This photo option is "Stainless steel /w Sandblast Surface"
Is that right?
Forgive my ignorance, is the Chiwi60 a bottom mount case? It doesn't look like a tray mount.It's top mounted.
Interested!
Would there be an option of the kit without the PCB? I have enough 60% PCBs of my own already!

You will need the DO60 PCB. I thought I could use my own PCB in round 1 and none that I tried (dz60, zeal60) had a USB port that extended far enough to be functional through the case (had both kinds of USB cutout cases as well).
