I had a similar idea for a board ages ago but never acted on it, so needless to say I'm very interested! A few questions though...
1) Will 4mm plates be the only option? If so, are you open to sharing the plate files so that people can get their own cut after the fact?
2) 4mm POM sounds intriguing, would you be able to make a sound test for it?
3) Can you provide a layout diagram for the key sizes? I can't quite tell the bottom row key sizes from the pictures provided.
4) Whats with the hole on the top middle of each half? I personally find it a bit unsightly on an otherwise clean-looking board.
Sorry for bombarding you with questions. Looking forward to true HHKB layout kustom 8)

What's this evil sorcery on the bottom row? How is the space bar split? It looks like 2.75 and 2.75, but how the heck does that add up to 7? I is confuzed2.25 & 2.75
1. 4mm plates only and I will always release plate files post preorder dates.

2. Soon tm
3. I’ll provide a pic + kle tomorrow.
4. The two inner ports connect the board together. The ports on the outer sides allow you to plug a usb c cable from either end.
Goodnight folks will answer more questions tomorrow
Edit:
4. The holes are indicator led’s for connectivity

If you're being genuine (I believe you are) I'd recommend running your comment past a friend or a loved one and ask them to help you see how that was rude. It could be good, you might need some feedback on social interaction. Have a blessed nightIt's the "*intentionally* unclear pictures", isn't it ;) Yeah, that was uncalled for, sorry guys.

That's the combo I would get if mixed was an option. I guess if two people wanted the same combo, they could order one color each and swap later...

Based on the pics, looks like fixed HHKB layout for those wondering!Well, OG HHKB layout has 7u spacebar, right? That just doesn't split (3.5u space...?) The largest small spacekey is 3u (which I dislike due to lower compatibility); 2x 3u = 6u, but there aren't any extra keys. So is each side of the bottom row shifted 0.5u to the center? I guess we'll find out tomorrow ;)

An HHKB has a 6u spacebar, its just MX HHKB boards that typically use 7u spacebar because it's more common (i.e. OG Cherry boards). At any rate this is actually a 5u spacebar in total as OP mentioned that they're 2.25u and 2.75u in an earlier comment.

Thanks for the clarification, I'm not that familiar with HHKB. The 2.25u/2.75u split spacebar is the ideal solution as the spacekeys are widely available or can even be replaced by shift keys. Must have missed that comment.
Big thumbs up!

No thanks. You're a little too creepy/vindictive seeming.
I agree that the user in question is definitely too involved and that the intent is fairly clearly vindictive but I think the information being provided is also fairly relevant. I think it should be stated, for clarity's sake and transparency if nothing else, that the design in question that is being pitched has been ran prior in a small quantity and is by Tesletron/Greenwald.
Personally I am one of the people that believe Tesletron needs help to get out of the slum that he (willingly and consciously or not) got himself into with his buy(s) and the OP may be helping to try and remedy that while also clearly profiting from it, neither of them should necessarily be shamed for this particular instance. That said, it's still a massively touchy subject, and rightfully so, for a lot of others.
In my opinion it needs to be stated who the designer is, how many units were made as "one offs" prior, what Tesletron's involvement is (if any) past the design stage and any other relevant information. Then again, considering that didn't happen with other ICs/GBs that were obviously successful regardless, I might be in the minority that cares and thus am not holding my breath.

Curseproject is not me, and I never distributed the files. I was taken advantage of by a scammer, CE, who at the time misled me into thinking he was a friendly person who liked rendering and designing. If people want to do this sort of stuff with my designs and betray my goodwill, then so be it, but I want it clear that this person is not me and I never said I would distribute the files.Thank you !! Let's move on now from curseprojekt because he's obviously a trashy person.

I designed Kendo, and could not afford to keep it going so 159 took over the project and the 4 people waiting on me to fulfill. I'm glad to see that the board made it to reality. That is all.

Lol just make it for less with the open sourced files.
Is it really less, though?
People don't want to deal with the hassle of sinking thousands of hours and dollars into development, engineering, prototyping, and ultimately, coordination and distribution of dozens of keyboards. It's not "for less," you just pay with time instead of money. The point of a groupbuy is that somebody else--possibly several orders of magnitude smarter and more experienced--does all the hard work for us and we reap the tactile benefits. What's so wrong with them making a few bucks along the way?
The level of sheer stupidity here is insane. Nobody wants the ****ing files. Nobody cares. We want a split staggered keyboard with a thicc ass plate.

I appreciate the response Tesletron, but I'd personally have liked to have heard this and further details from the GB runner - the person people will be handing their money over to and who they'll need to rely on and trust for the next x amount of months who is seemingly reputable. This is no longer your responsibility as per what you've stated, but it definitely is his/theirs.
I just find it unsettling that such information would be omitted in the first place when clearly OP (and pretty much everyone else) knows the situation and your involvement is extremely delicate. It makes me uneasy when it comes to a product that would otherwise have been a no-brainer of a purchase, and that's pretty sad. Sad for me that is, because clearly people had no issue buying out the (admittedly fairly limited) spots for both the Kepler and the Sirius.

The prototypes that you see in the op is the actual prototypes that belong to these people funded solely by Project Keyboard.

Keyboards good. Drama bad. I’m looking forward to following along on the progress of this exciting project.
What drama? You had one guy randomly come out of left field with a bunch of actually relevant information that was seemingly not going to be shared otherwise, the fact he appears to be a raving lunatic does not invalidate the fact that it's unsettling to not mention something of this magnitude of relevance prior to being asked to (nicely or otherwise).
There's no drama here, and I definitely don't think the names of the backers should be revealed, that was never my intent. My sole point is that I think when it comes to such a touchy subject for so many people (who are owed items, who paid for GBs they haven't received, who paid for one offs they haven't received, etc), transparency without having to be nudged about it is key.
I have no issue with people working with Tesletron, he's an amazing designer no doubt about it, and if nothing else I think helping him out is the humane thing to do. That said, it doesn't invalidate the fact his name (and by association, anyone working with him) comes with warranted and earned baggage that cannot be ignored. People need to be made aware of that whether you guys like it or not, I think that's the bare minimum of a courtesy toward your prospect clients so that they can then make an informed decision regarding not only whether or not they are interested in the board but also if it's something they feel comfortable supporting all things considered. Same way people can keep buying counterfeit tealios if they want to support the factory in question, it's just about making an informed decision (be it "wrong" or "right").

I have no issue with people working with Tesletron, he's an amazing designer no doubt about it, and if nothing else I think helping him out is the humane thing to do. That said, it doesn't invalidate the fact his name (and by association, anyone working with him) comes with warranted and earned baggage that cannot be ignored. People need to be made aware of that whether you guys like it or not, I think that's the bare minimum of a courtesy toward your prospect clients so that they can then make an informed decision regarding not only whether or not they are interested in the board but also if it's something they feel comfortable supporting all things considered. Same way people can keep buying counterfeit tealios if they want to support the factory in question, it's just about making an informed decision (be it "wrong" or "right").
Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems that you're concerned with who is involved with the prototyping, production, and fulfillment. If that's the case, it's just me.

I'm not concerned about that at all, I'm really not sure how that can even be what one takes away from what I've been saying.
I'l be concise in case the message is getting lost, I'm concerned with the fact that the person who designed this board has very questionable, withstanding reputation within the community and his involvement was willingly withheld when pitching an IC/GB. To tie into what you just said, prior to his stepping in and your clarification, it was also not stated whether he had further involvement in the project or not.
I don't think whether or not that information is relevant is up for discussion, regardless of people's "I want it and that's all that matters" mentality. I'm not here to tell you how to run your business, I'm arguing because I think people should strive to be provided more concrete information than what they do much of the time (not just here) to prevent **** hitting the fan as it has plenty of times in the past.

I literally just stated that my problem is with transparency to the prospect buyers, I think being offered an avenue to personally contact you in private defeats the purpose and shows little interest in addressing the concern.
If you think people have no right in knowing someone who owes community members several thousand dollars' worth of merchandise, that's been acting weird and who's generally regarded as being super sketchy (not by me, and he knows that) is even remotely involved in a very expensive board you're trying to pitch then that's entirely your prerogative, as is addressing it if/when it is brought up by someone else; be it me or the other guy that was going mental with the files earlier. I clearly disagree, which is why I brought it up publicly, I think brushing it off as "drama" is just damage control.
That said, I have no interest in furthering the conversation here nor via discord.

What's there to hide? This topic has been covered many times. In the off chance that you missed it, I was offering to quickly alleviate any concerns/questions you had instead of bumping a thread to the top every few minutes with personal opinions/feelings about some other group buy. My offer still stands to have a constructive discussion because I do believe your intentions are good. I just don't see it being productive here.

let me express hype
This looks great and I am totally ready for it. Might be my endgame ergo and HHKB rolled into one.
I've got a few questions others might have:
- I know you can't really pin $ down early in an IC, but do you anticipate differences in pricing for case colors, or only plate?
- The IC just went up but you already have a proto in hand. You haven't shared a GB date yet, but are you preparing to launch this before EOY? Q1? Q2?

In the next couple of months. I generally don’t like opening an IC without a prototype in hand. I’ll have those KLE and an expanded view hopefully tonight. Colors will not change the price at all. The plate material will since 4mm pvd brass is quite expensive.

Difference in brass plate pricing absolutely makes sense.
Love that you open ICs with a proto in hand - much faster turnaround between posting and GB. I appreciate that!!

How does 4mm pom compare to 1.5 pom?
The 4mm pom is approximately 2.5mm thicker than the 1.5mm pom. :D
Jokes aside it should be less flexy, but dampen some of the higher pitch sounds and resonate more of the deeper pitch sounds.

I hate the length of the hhkb blockers. But I'll probably buy it anyway (and then regret it later when someone else creates a similar keyboard with smaller blockers).
Then you'll sell it on mechmarket waiting for similar keyboard only to find out it's been delayed because of _____. So now you're frantically looking to re-purchase the board you just bought for more than what you sold it for.
Thanks for the support ;)

I’m new to the hobby, so I’ve admittedly been watching videos trying to figure out exactly how HHKB actually works, and I just don’t think I’d be able to get my brain to adapt to it.

The first post has pictures of the Rose Gold prototype.
So if those pictures are accurate, it looks like the rose gold leans slightly more toward the “gold” than the “rose,” especially when directly compared to the Olivia set that’s on there. It’s also possible that color calibration on my phone isn’t the best.
Still looks really good.

I absolutely love the renders of these cases, but fail to realize that a connecting wire between the two halves is necessary.
Im not a huge fan of wires....

Can this split case (or any, for that matter) be made wireless?I dont' think...

You understand...
The complexity...
Of such a feature...
Useful as it might be...

I think it’s definitely possible to make a cable between the two halves look good. Especially if you maybe already have a custom coiled/aviator cable and you match that color.Can this split case (or any, for that matter) be made wireless?I dont' think...

I wonder if this kit would include super short custom cables in different colors. It might make the buying process easier on everyone since they don’t have to source the cable on their own.

As much as I would love this kind of thing to be wireless, I would rather a rock-solid wired build than an even occasionally unreliable wireless build.

I use both the caps lock key and left ctrl key when gaming, apologies but this is not very difficult to understand. Im following this post because i think the kendo is a super sweet design and if it ever comes in a non hhkb layout, i would buy in immediately.

You could check out the YMDK SP64. Not quite as polished but it’s got the full suite of keys you seem to be after

I'm hoping you can order single halves.

I think it may have been said earlier in this IC that it would likely be too difficult to order halves of separate colors, but I may be wrong.In for this. Hoping to trade half an E-White for half an E-Black.

Yeah was asked. Don't know if what was previously said is still true though. Hope so.
Will this be a limited GB? Also, do you have any rough estimates on when it will run, like in a month or in half a year?I will not be limiting this board, although I may put a hard cap (I doubt it will be reached).

Thanks. I keep forgetting this will be run through projectkeyboard, which usually has a fairly high cap if I'm not mistaken. (:

Post by: konstantin on Fri, 15 May 2020, 06:55:08
Can we get a typing test?
Also is it possible to make both halves wireless?
The board as a whole could be made wireless (Bluetooth), but the halves would still need to be connected by cable. Doing it otherwise would require a lot more effort.
If you're looking for a fully wireless split board, take a look at the Uni660 (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=98905.0), but keep in mind that it's not Bluetooth.

I actually wouldn't mind having it wireless instead of bluetooth since it's probably better anyways. But if the Halves still need the cable then I guess it's not worth it .

and that's a good idea b/c I'm sure there are lots of issues with the interconnecting cable and being able to use 1 side only... and mixing that all in with qmk and (hopefully) VIA support

Have you considered the possibility of making it wireless? I think it would look really clean with no cables! - just like in the renders.

Yeah I think split keyboards look really cool, until there are two cables sticking out of them. But I get wireless don't do well with alu keyboard cases, nothing we can do about it.
