I love the HB-85.
Would love it more were it TKL as there aren’t really any original TKL designs.
Also a little intimidated by the price if that thing is going to be CNC aluminum.
Really fantastic design.

That HB85 looks really cool, have you started to think about pricing yet?

pixelpusher · « **Reply #52 on:** Sun, 29 April 2018, 17:18:00 »

I really like the unique look of the HB-85. Although I also wish it was a tkl

I don't often need a numpad. I do quite often need arrow keys and a home cluster

Zuology · « **Reply #53 on:** Mon, 30 April 2018, 10:34:42 »

I am not clear on what the key layout would be for the right side section of the HB85 - that information would be helpful in giving feedback. I like some of the design element ideas in the HB85, but the design overall is very... vibrant? I'm not sure how to word it, but it feels a bit over the top IMO.

I will say this, I really appreciate all the custom guys from China/Taiwan who are not afraid to push these radical case designs. More variety is always good.

Re. the Oblivion:

1. Is it possible to move the numpad to the left? I understand if you don't want to but that would be a huge plus.

2. This curved corners are phenomenal. That's all

tex_live_utility · « **Reply #55 on:** Mon, 30 April 2018, 11:27:38 »

The HB85 needs an OLED display and a trackball so I can feel like I'm in some kind of crazy spaceship. And obviously the option for a frosted acrylic accent strip around the edge of the plate where you can have full RGB.

AMongoose · « **Reply #56 on:** Mon, 30 April 2018, 11:33:11 »

I like the look of the HB85 but what is the proposed layout for that? A numpad without 0?

crykn · « **Reply #57 on:** Mon, 30 April 2018, 20:10:16 »

I really like the design of the Oblivion. I would consider buying even though I'm not that into full size keyboards. Depending on the price point, I would almost definitely buy it if you offered an optional 75% keyboard the same design without the number pad. I hope you'll consider using USB-C for the PCB.

Poesjuh · « **Reply #58 on:** Tue, 01 May 2018, 02:06:08 »

I'm mostly wondering how you would fill the right side of the HB85 ? Looking at the number of keys it doesn't fit an actual numpad. Disregaring the fact that it's obviously a very weird layout I just don't see how to fill that

Unfortunately that doesn't answer the question about Oblivion being dead or not. I hope not, because I like Oblivion way more than HB85.

True. AIRPOTTER will probably say something.

Thank you for your interest in this design of HB85.
In fact, the next row is somewhat similar to HHKB.

This post is only sent for HB85 alone. Portal：https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=97216.0
I upload some photos of the proofing ni here, and I will be updated otherthings in time.

I updated the latest information to this post：https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=97216.0

STT version is supporting arrow keys.

Sorry， I did not write clearly about the layout,but I updated it in this post：https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=97216.0

In fact, I feel both the layout and appearance are little odd

.
But because of this, I think HB85 is also interesting and unique.

was just looking at my wyse 50 the other day wishing there were customs with that layout, and now i see this. really liking the oblivion!

No, it is still modifying the structural design. After HB85, OB will be done.

Kavik · « **Reply #71 on:** Tue, 04 September 2018, 21:28:17 »

First I'm seeing these even though this thread is a bit old. Just commenting in case there are future updates here for oblivion.

RealLaugh · « **Reply #72 on:** Wed, 05 September 2018, 00:28:57 »

Thanks for sharing these designs

HB85 is really interesting, hope to see it develop.

That's great to hear. I love the layout. It would be even better if we could somehow separate the arrows keys from the right control. If not, that's ok too. No rush, I will want to have a board with this layout eventually but not right at this moment. As long as it's still being developed i'm happy.

I really like the design of the Oblivion. I would consider buying even though I'm not that into full size keyboards. Depending on the price point, I would almost definitely buy it if you offered an optional 75% keyboard the same design without the number pad. I hope you'll consider using USB-C for the PCB.

OK. I will try to model the 75% version of the oblivion.
I will definitely use the type-C.
But because the design has not been completed, it can not to make prototype，so no way to calculate the cost.. I'm sorry

5inn3d- · « **Reply #78 on:** Sun, 30 December 2018, 23:44:04 »

I like the look of the oblivion! my suggestion is to perhaps add a winkey version and include arrow blockers instead?

rondg · « **Reply #79 on:** Sun, 30 December 2018, 23:47:46 »

Looks interesting and looks expensive to make.

75% version sounds cool, I really like the new design for the bottom

portbaron · « **Reply #81 on:** Mon, 31 December 2018, 19:02:24 »

Dudes, there's so many 75% and sub 100% boards already. What was interesting about this was that it was full size.

LevelSteam · « **Reply #82 on:** Mon, 31 December 2018, 19:48:24 »

I love it! I'd be down for one.

oldcat · « **Reply #83 on:** Sun, 13 January 2019, 01:24:19 »

Still think the old bottom is pretty cool too

Hope it gets adopted in another gray board

Ahrimofnor · « **Reply #87 on:** Mon, 20 January 2020, 17:18:06 »

Does the side-on views reflect the new bottom design? Def interested in the layout. Dont know why but those blockers caught my eye
