We call it Time TKL.
The basic idea is that we want to design a case with complex structures.
All the parts will be made by high quality CNC aluminum.

Even now I am using Orange 80% to type this reply :)
If I join this I might not be able to type with this keyboard to look the back side.
So gorgeous.
If there are several choices for colors as many as 1st project, please count me in.
Hope the success of you 2nd project! :thumb:
P.S. This design looks not to be flat unlike Orange, doesn't it?

Any way to do a version without the clock? maybe a Simple Time TKL - I loved the speed and results of your last GB and definitely want to get in on what you have next - the clock just seems a little to ornate for me.
Without the clock we won't call it Time then. A board without weight is in our future plan.

Hi Lovetree. Yes, this design has a 5 degrees angle.
Post by: senter on Mon, 18 September 2017, 10:50:13
Could it be a 75% or different layout instead of a TKL by any chance? This is a very cool design.

Also, is confirmed to be a TKL already or you can still consider other layouts? (75% for example)

I really like this concept but I worry about that intricate ornamentation being too fragile and making production difficult in general. Perhaps a sundial instead of moving clock arms? Less moving/delicate parts could reduce potential problems down the road.
These gears and clock pointers are not movable on the current design. This will be a solid board.

Is there anyway you'd do a 75% or something besides TKL? The design is stunning but there are just too many TKL's out already, I think doing something besides TKL would take this superb design to the next level.
TKL was our original plan. The design is almost finished.
I also found multiple people asked about the 75% version. Now I need to discuss with my partners about our plan.

It might be easy to assume that, based on the amount of people asking for the 75% version, the majority would prefer that. Just wanted to add a voice saying that I love it as is, and the people who do are likely busy gushing over the build instead of asking for it to remain the same!

YES Please make it 75%, the endgame of the endgames! I actually really like the design but i doubt I will join if it will be TKL again.
Or why not, make everyone happy and make 2 versions in this GB, TKL and 75%. At the end only the case will be bigger/smaller, while the Time weights that should be the most important and difficult part will be the same for the 2 versions :D
Idk i would probably be in for anything that is a 75% or a 96-layout

I am just thinking out lout but perhaps TKL would be the way to go? My thinking is better keycap compatibility.. also you just don't see that many TKL boards out there least I don't Seems most customs are 40/60/75 or something unique thats not staggered.
Reddit is pretty much the only community that doesn't use TKL.
China/VN especially use almost nothing but WKL TKL.

Not just case, it's a keyboard kit. You still need to buy switches, keycaps, cable, stabs.
Another option is to use our assemble service. Then you only need to install your keycaps on it and the board is ready to use.

One comment I'm seeing regularly (as I'm sure you're aware) is that the design is on the bottom, so you won't see it unless you're picking it up constantly. Got me thinking...
Is a matching case or cover possible? I'm in either way but man, that would really make this thing even more special than it already is. If not now, maybe a future group buy? Just a thought.

Actually the suitcase used for Orange TKL was not the the one we chose at the very beginning. We changed the original option because many people didn't like it.
We value and appreciate people's suggestions. We'll take your suggestion into consideration. Thank you.

Any kind of case that resembles the same quality of the one that came with Orange linked above will be welcomed with open arms here - even if it doesn't stand out, it's a super classy touch and I value that very highly.
The quality of the case will be similar but with a different design to match the board.

I'm so in. Will you support both winkey and winkeyless or only winkeyless?
We will have three options, winkey and two types of winkeyless
Great to hear! I'm in for a winkey version... if I'm lucky enough to get one.
How do you plan on selling these? FCFS, raffle, no limit, etc.?
Post by: FrostyToast on Thu, 21 September 2017, 00:45:53
Though it all depends on the cost. I don't know what we're looking at due to the sorts of parts and cuts there have to be, but fingers crossed for something I can afford.
Then again, if I can't afford it and therefore don't drop my wallet on it, that has its own upsides.
Post by: SBN on Thu, 21 September 2017, 02:49:44
I hope that the next project will be more of the futuristic. In appearance and maybe also from the layout and the features...wireless, attachable extras (eg. mechanical slider), a window to see the PCB and its LEDs or something else entirely

I know asking for a definitive time frame is totally out of the question.. but whats the time frame your looking at currently to start the group buy.. end the group buy and possibly have products shipping? I ask cause we are getting closer and closer to December and typically December/January is horrible for shipping cause of the Christmas Season here in the United States! I buying in either way if I can afford it and I will do everything I can to make sure I can afford this! I am just trying to get my expectations inline with what to expect cause never done a keyboard buy outside massdrop! I am going to assume this is going to be way different. Which totally down for.
GB will start in next month. You can check our lead time in our previous group buy for reference. We'll mainly use DHL express to ship the packages which is reliable and fast.
If everything goes well, you will get the board before Christmas season for sure.

We checked the measurements. Unfortunately we found it's not that easy to make it compatible because of the position of mini-usb female connectors.
Post by: senter on Sat, 23 September 2017, 08:21:01
This is absolutely beautiful, I will be very interested! I have a slight preference to see this as a 75%, but don't mind if this remains a TKL board.

Edit: Also are there plans to make this alps compatible? Not a priority, but would be a nice bonus.
I'd say the price will be around $350 by rough estimation but I'm not sure for now.
People ask about ALPS compatible all the time since we started the IC for Orange TKL. This TIME our answer is Yes. The PCB will be compatible with ALPS. We will also provide ALPS version of plates.

I guess the Filco MJ2 PCB could compatible since the connection is made with a HX2.54 header rather than a fixed mini-USB connector.

The gears won't be covered since they won't be fragile at all.
The distance is about 2.4cm in our current design.

We already have some thoughts about the color options based on the statistics of our previous GB. If you have some preferences, just leave a comment here. This is an IC post so we're still collecting opinions here for now.

2. Is the clock made of aluminum?
3. How heavy is the keyboard?

Wow man this is so beautiful :thumb:
There will be any transparent plate covering that clock?
Also, the 75% version is dead? Not sure if you decided to do the 75% too at the end or only the TKL. I would be in 100% for that design with a 75%-96 layout

If MIRA ships before this runs, I'll be able to sell my KBD75 (+some other stuff) and get in.
All my other boards are in pieces, or don't fit on my tiny dorm desk.

Yes, now based on my estimation, the price will be around $400 (or $450 shipped) which is higher than what I hoped. The main reason is the clock shaped weight inserts are very difficult to make and have a a lot higher cost than normal shaped weights.

Yea, that is a little steeper than I'd hoped personally based on your earlier estimations but it is also understandable due to the intricacy of the clock design etc. No doubt in my mind that it is worth it, just a little harder of price tag to swallow as a European customer (imports, VAT, etc.)

yea feeling the same way I really like this and am going to have to give it some serious thought. I am not in Europe but US so import isn't such a big deal. The biggest hang up is 450 shipped ((going with the highest end price)) then tacking on another 50-80 dollars to have it built. I am looking at over 500... which would be pretty expensive for a single keyboard even one as amazing as this! Though wait hopefully perhaps some how the price will come in a bit cheaper.

I've got to agree with all of this. Its a beautiful board but the price point may be too steep for me. However, I'll still lurk this thread to drool over everyone else's :blank:

I was really hoping for a lower price (although I do understand why it costs so much, don't get me wrong). But living in Europe sucks for that :( basing my calculation on the higher available estimated price, it would be $450 + shipping ($40?) + import fees (around $110 for belgium) + Paying someone to build it (another $40); That would cost me around $640 :( I'll have to just watch people be happy about theirs :(
You got me wrong. I mentioned it would be around $450 shipped using DHL express. So if you build it by yourself, the total will be within $500 without considering the taxes. I didn't know the taxes are so high in EU. That's really terrible to hear.

Depending on declaration value, the customs fees might be a bit lower. I recall that my Fox Orange purchase wasn't taxed very heavily.
Yes, I won't make it that clear here, but no worries, taxes won't be a big problem according to our prior experiences. I'll make sure you pay as low as possible in every way.
Post by: senter on Mon, 23 October 2017, 21:11:30
The general rule for EU taxes (VAT [value added tax]), is that it's 20%. So a $400 item becomes has $80 VAT.
Thanks for the info

Just curious but will it be cheaper to get a aluminum weight vs the brass weight? Perhaps that could be a point of saving for some of us on the fence.
It should be the machine time rather then the material cost that adds up the price of the weight, thus a alu weight instead wouldn't be much cheaper.

brass machine time is more expensive than alu
i suspect the given price is the price with alu weight

Dang ok! I might still end up getting it regardless. I really really want this board I even given up buying several other things I want in plans for it.. I just yea it be expensive but!! most likely couldn't buy much else for a while but it might totally be worth it. I guess I could save some money by doing the soldering my self but I worry. My KBD75 went together smoothly but that was like 220 dollars vs the 500 this things could cost... choices choices! Though I do know this is end game type board. I guess gotta wait and check out prices.. I was really hoping for closer to 400 dollars total.

You know normally people can start the GB first then figure things out in the process. For example, I can start the GB before the PCBs are fully tested, or even before the final design is determined. However, this is not the way we do it this Time. The early prototype will be sent to a reputable keyboard expert in the US for reviewing this week. Then we'll start the GB more confidently.
Please not that this change won't affect the time you will receive Time. We have a schedule for the manufacturing and everything is going well so far. We will start doing something before the GB closes to make sure a short lead time.
I'm really sorry for the change.

Don't be sorry cause you decided to do extra quality testing. I drop 500 bucks on a keyboard I will expect perfection. Thats what you doing making sure things are perfect.. its better to get these sorta issues out of the way now instead of waiting mid buy then having to delay shipments. The longer this takes to hit the better I think.. more time to save up. Don't be sorry for having to delay hopefully everything goes smoothly. I am glad your having the board tested by someone else also.

As many of you may know, FoxLab will be collaborating with zFrontier (http://en.zfrontier.com) to organize and fulfill the GB for Time TKL. Here are several reasons why we're doing it in this way:
- The collaboration with zFrontier makes this GB more trustworthy. You know, **** happens on some GBs.
- zFrontier is professional on organizing the order information and sorting the boards. We made mistakes before on the such things but now problems will be less possible to happen with zFrontier's help.
- Fast shipping. If you have ever bought keyboards or keycps from zFrontier, you may know the international shipping is very fast from zFrontier. They're VIP customer of DHL and many other shipping companies, so they have the priority to ship goods very fast, faster than we used to be.
- Better cumtomer service. With the help of zFrontier, we will provide professional after sales service for this GB.
Price
The price will be a fixed $458 with expedited free shipping. You won't be charged for PP fee or any other fees.
The board is much heavier than Orange TKL, so the price is like $400 or so for the board and rest for the international shipping from China to your country. Don't worry too much for the taxes as well.
I was trying to keep the price as low as possible in the whole process and this is the best we can do for this board. If you decide to buy it, I'm sure it will worth every penny you spend.

No need to apologies. I didn't make it clear. The following parts will be included.
- Aluminum top and bottom cases
- Aluminum plate
- Aluminum weights (11 parts)
- Aluminum nameplate (The ‘TIME’ logo above the arrow keys)
- PCB: compatible with both MX switches and ALPS switches
There will be also some accessories like neoprene damping pad, rubber feet, screwdriver, and so on.

Price is approx 400 + shipping. Also no paypal fees (which usually ends up $20)
So if price was 400+20 (paypal) + shipping (40-60), which prices the board itself at 380-400.

I am with others its a bit to expensive for me. There is nothing wrong with that. The board is amazing and if I had the money I buy it.. but its just like a Ferrari there amazing but sadly out of my price range. Hopefully the next group buy will come in at a more easily manged price and look just as good. I will admit this would have been one of my end game boards but I was truthfully expecting a price closer to 350 with 400 out the door. The Orange was 290 so was basing my thoughts off that. I know TKL for 450 is a good deal and all that still doesn't stop the fact Ferrari might be a good deal but isn't affordable to the vast majority of people.
Thank you for your interest. Please read my clarification here (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=91625.msg2513523#msg2513523) and avid's response here (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=91625.msg2513590#msg2513590)

How many are going to be available on this run and will there be any plans for an R2? Thanks
It's not a limited buy.
Limited buy makes the board increases value after the GB.
We're not doing it in this way because we have the ability to make as many boards as you can buy.
We haven't thought about R2 currently because we always want to try new thing rather than old.

I apologise if this has been discussed or is obvious but what is the kit inclusive of? Case, weight, plate and PCB?
No need to apologies. I didn't make it clear. The following parts will be included.
- Aluminum top and bottom cases
- Aluminum plate
- Aluminum weights (11 parts)
- Aluminum nameplate (The ‘TIME’ logo above the arrow keys)
- PCB: compatible with both MX switches and ALPS switches
There will be also some accessories like neoprene damping pad, rubber feet, screwdriver, and so on.
Will brass still be an option for weight and plate?
There will be an option for brass weight, but not plate.

Super keen to find out what the colours are.
If a dark purple or rose gold is an option I will die happy.

I think the price is fantastic for what your getting.
Good luck with the group buy!

cutting out 11 intricate pieces of aluminum isn't cheap lol

Thank you for your interest and comments since the very beginning. Hope you will like whatever you're gonna buy.

Would switch plate support Alps switch also?

Sorry, don't know if this has been mentioned:
Will it be possible to get the TIME insert in the same color as the case?

Don't worry too much for the taxes as well.
Can you explain? You mean that they included the custom fees payment with the shipping of DHL (yeah DHL does that if you pay more)
Otherwise i don't understand why we shouldn't worry, with a fast math should be around $150 custom fees, more or less same for other EU people.

Will there still be a “founder’s edition” for Orange TKL buyers?
Yes

Hello!

It's possible, but only in limited colors. You'll see the options later this week.

The info on the page are not finalized yet. There're still some details we're discussing about.

Quick question - will you have any colour samples before/during the GB? A few colours are hard to picture in my head personally, namely the Crystal Blue (which looks like a cyan colour, awesome!) and Emeral green for the case as well as the rose pink for the weight, do you have access to any colour chips for example?
Thanks!

The color options listed on zfrontier are actually photos of real color samples. We sent them those anodized pipes and they photographed them in that way.

Oh I see! Yea, the glare and the small picture size makes it a little hard for me to really see but maybe that's just me. The Emerald green looks like it could be very cool!

I have seen this thread with deep interest from the very beginning and you guys emphasize that no matter when GB start, GB participators will be able to get full kit before Christmas. Is this still available?
Before Christmas is still our estimation.
Since we're working with zFrontier now, we want to do it 'under promise, over deliver', so the lead time show on zFrontier is 2 weeks.

Not able to get the case in Rose pink or Sand gold?
No, these two colors won't look good on case.

The Time TKL doesn't have any PCB mounted RGB LEDs or RGB control right?
No, there're not windows or RGB diffusers on the case.

Have you decided to stick with the current font for the logo? I remember that concerns were raised about it in the Reddit thread.
Yes, we collected some opinions. We'll never please everyone, so this is our final decision.

1. GB post has been submitted. GB will start on November 2nd (eastern daylight time), 8 PM, right before TopClack starts.
2. We just started a limited FCFS Chinese GB for Time TKL. All the 66 kits were sold out (https://www.zfrontier.com/post/detail/3058) in minutes.
