Looks super cool! Filled out an interest check form and looking forward to following the project.

This very much seems like the final keyboard that I'll ever need. I love small things with a lot of bells and whistles.
Just wanted to make sure, will this be QMK compatible?

Thanks.

How exciting!

Edit: I'd also like to ask if there's a friendly option to ship to the UK.

I would prefer the rotary encoder and LED on the left, so there is more room for the mouse on the right of the keyboard, but I will probably buy it regardless :-)

Great concept.

I mean, it’s already 40% - you’ll have plenty of mouse room regardless, hehe

Looks really unique! Interested for sure

However not a huge fan of the back design imo

> most "extra" 40(ish)%

Though I like the knob and OLED, wish it didn't need an elite-C board to work. It expands the port area, and with an alu case, it really doesn't need this.

SnowShy · « **Reply #60 on:** Mon, 26 October 2020, 16:53:32 »

Please make this reality. Mainly hope for a bit more layout support. I WANT THIS ASAP.

zeejet · « **Reply #61 on:** Sun, 01 November 2020, 18:09:13 »

I can't do 40% layout but the design is great and I really like the OLED and rotary placements on the board. If this ever gets a big brother in the 65-75% range, I'd be in for sure.

Best of luck on this project!

Current Keyboards · « **Reply #62 on:** Sun, 01 November 2020, 23:00:19 »

Yeah, this is slick. I'm becoming a sucker for exposed components and want a 40%. Nice work.

Loving the updates and the new renders are super cute! Colour options are rad

MS85 · « **Reply #68 on:** Sun, 22 November 2020, 06:13:57 »

Wow, my cutemeter just broke its scale. This is awsome. I problably don't need a 40% but this could really change my needs :-)

Is there any chance to see a 4th color? That pastel light blue used to complement the pink in some renders would fit perfectly on the case itself. (Also something like the 353 C of Superuser would be astonishing and stilll on the pastel theme, but I guess it would be a little too nichey for the whole case)

I'm working to try and get a custom knob made alongside the board but if that doesn't happen then I'll aim to source some "standard" knobs. I'll update as and when anything changes.

Not yet... it's due to start GB in February once I've finalised a few of the suppliers

Love the changes. I'm pretty sad to see ortho go, but I like the layout you've landed at with the inclusion of the split bars.

Will certainly be joining this when you run it!

A very unusual and fun little board. Great work on the design. I am very interested just for the fun of it.

Rational thoughts: I think I'd struggle with something smaller than 60% and I don't really need another board.
That little voice at the back of my mind: But it has an oled and a rotary encoder!

I know it's boring but I would have liked a version in black. It looks pretty sweet with cyberspace.

There's been a lot of interest in a black version so it's looking like that's an almost definite option 👍

I didn't think I needed another 40%, I tried my best to avoid looking at this, but it's super cute. Never thought I'd actually want a pink keyboard but it's just so pretty. Do you have any price estimates yet?

Owning a pink keyboard increases your IQ by a factor of 1.5 — fact.

Last I saw was estimated between $175-$225... may be inaccurate

Not bad! I might actually get on board despite never wanting a 40% keeb.

Yilk81 · « **Reply #98 on:** Wed, 09 December 2020, 14:54:56 »

Is there a ballpark figure like between 250 and 300 or something? Interest is one thing but if it's out of budget it means nothing.
