[IC] Sofia - 60% Standard / HHKB / WKL [THREAD CLOSED]

[DJSwayde]

Just FYI. Burnt Orange was left off the IC form. Very sad considering I'm very interested in that color especially.

Multiple colors were left out of the form. Just fill them out under "Other".

[Rensuya]

That blue/grey is really nice!

[gabetjh]

That blue/grey is really nice!

With all this love for blue grey, I hope that dark blue still has a chance to make it into the GB, because I want it so badly

I see a lot of people love this blue gray tho

But I will choose 1 between the blue gray or the dark blue. All depend on the vote poin

I just saw that you offer custom colors against additional charges on your OXALYS80 GB. Is this an option here too?
If so, I might consider it.

I'll ask the factory first how much is it to get the additional color

Thank you, I really appreciate that

[Velvet_Crowe]

Would you consider offering 1.5mm aluminum plate choice rather than brass?

Maybe it would be an additional option. But i'll put the choice in my consideration. Thankyou

For the plate are you going to go with the plate cut like in the render or will the be a plate layout with just 7u support ? As for WKL and HHKB layout i don't think people need an universal plate

[Nixytheria]

Good question. I'll provide 2 plates option.
1. Universal Plate
2. HHKB/WKL Plate

Plz keep ISO-support! I really want a WKL!

I think you should be able to do that with the universal plate.

Plz keep ISO-support! I really want a WKL!

ISO will be support in all variants anyway, what i was talking about was the swiss cheese bottom row in the universal plate, as it is not needed at all when you're doing a WKL or HHKB build because you'll for the most of the time use the default (1.5 1 1.5u + 7u + 1.5 1 1.5u) layout

Thank you for the explanation.
I'll keep the iso/ansi support. I just make the fix bottom row only. I'll post the plate layout later on.

GB Date estimated and typing test updated. Check out the first page 

[DJSwayde]

Man, I am so glad to see this project progressing. Great to hear, thanks for the update.

[mnpq.raven]

Just saw the typing video and damn it was very much worth the wait
One spot for me pls
Do you plan to sell the kit without the PCB ? i have some zeal60s coming and enough DZ60 lying around already

[8six753o9]

Price: Around 300 USD
The factory expecting the price will be increase after 2019 chinese new year.

~GB ESTIMATED~ : FEBRUARY 2019

I have a question about the group buy date. If the price increase after Chinese New Year, shouldn’t the group buy end before Feb so you can lock in on the cheaper price?

Is the board in the typing demo the prototype with 10 degree angle?

For the Price i can't lock it because they will quote it when the production is ready. So it would be after chinese new year.
But the good news is I just found a better Factory that will not increase the price even after the Chinese New Year.

Yes it's the 10 degree angle. The 8 degree must be better at its comfort

New factory will be better at Quality Control? Anyways I am definitely in for one. I REALLY hope that Rose gold AND champagne gold both make it as there just isn't enough of them on the market.

Will changing factories affect available colors? I really want that exact shade of blue grey.

[etong415]

That typing sounds amazing, looked through youtube for other boards at this price with vintage blacks and its definitely up there. I’m in for sure!

[mnpq.raven]

So all the colors shown in the 1st post are the colors available ? Do you by change have any real life reference to the red and lavender silver ? Some colors look really stunning, i'd love to see some non-render of some of them. Thanks and GL

[b3nkei]

Do you plan on making an engraving of a symbol or the keyboard's model name on the back or is this already the final design?

[DJSwayde]

It's already on the weight, so it would be unnecessary.

Hello, sorry for now I can't give the reference color, since the factory isn't fix yet. But i'll try my best to give the reference later on.

Hello, here's some pictures of the final brass design, the different is I remove the LE and put the brand logo on the bottom left corner.

[Pluto19]

I must say, that's an awesome lavender. :O

[Mcnos]

What is the height of the board? I can't seem to find it while I'm on mobile. Also is the LE option instead of NIX?


Edit: found it

Thankyou,... but unfortunately I only can get 5 colors in the end,.. I hope this will be in

Hello.... NIX is my brand and I'll put it on the brass... For the LE it means limited edition, it comes only on the prototype ^^ Thankyou for asking

[jcwleo]

Personally, I hope Sofia's Plate type is also Corsa's. I hope the Plate is not fixed on the bottom but fixed on the side.

Hello, thankyou for your suggestion.

I'll put the corsa layout on the fix HHKB/WKL Switch plate.
Thankyou, glad to hear that suggestion
