Will there be a silver version, like the one in the photo album?
Yes, I did silver but Chinese players did not respond well, this is my first time to GH,  My idea is to learn to communicate. So this plan Less color to do.

I also saw a YARBO audiophile usb cable in one of the pictures. Is it going to be included with the keyboard?
this YARBO My friend helped me do it by hand, and if a lot of people want, I will make additional purchases. Of course, you can also buy some finished products that are also usable. :))

Hi everyone, I am Eve, last time I and Equalz completed the production of zero, this time responsible for mountain production.
Ear is a very thoughtful guy,and he asked very strict, haha zero titanium and leather are very ideas. Mountain's texture weight and the use of the screen and lot more new things, he can always find some very interesting design.
Tell everyone a good news, EVE and Beijing Jingdiao reached an agreement will be completed together after the production of mechanical keyboard production, we will give you the best workmanship keyboard. Here are some of our production pictures 188300-0188302-1

In fact, most players in China do not like hotswap because it can not work for a long time and if our GH players really like it, we will think about it later. ;D

What about providing a way to close the recess where the screen is? A kind of lid that can be used if you decide to remove the screen.

1,The screen can be closed with a hot key.
2,the screen is free to disassemble.
3,you can replace the metal up as a logo.
4,If you need, I can provide DIY diy for the screen position of the drawings. ;D

Keyboard looks amazing :eek:. I'm not super interested in a 100% form-factor, but I'm definitely looking forward to smaller kits :D

Also, I think hotswap is more of a newby gimmicky thing (don't shoot me plz)

This looks gorgeous and I love the innovation. My one wishlist item would be hotswap sockets like Kailh's. Will be buying it either way once it comes out!
In fact, most players in China do not like hotswap because it can not work for a long time and if our GH players really like it, we will think about it later. ;D


Hot swap is for the indecisive. No need.

Or people that don't want to **** around with desoldering when new switch variants come out that blow old ones out of the water. Not sure what the lifespan is on the sockets but if they can last for >50 swaps that might as well be forever.

What is he referring to when he says that hotswap sockets don't last? Do the switches just fall out? Do the sockets just not pop out?

This looks gorgeous and I love the innovation. My one wishlist item would be hotswap sockets like Kailh's. Will be buying it either way once it comes out!
In fact, most players in China do not like hotswap because it can not work for a long time and if our GH players really like it, we will think about it later. ;D


Hot swap is for the indecisive. No need.

Or people that don't want to **** around with desoldering when new switch variants come out that blow old ones out of the water. Not sure what the lifespan is on the sockets but if they can last for >50 swaps that might as well be forever.

That's what new keyboards are for, of course!

yeah pretty much

if something is really that good, then i just get a whole new board for it

Why? It doesn't fit anything.

Did you get one from the China GB?

Probably that the sockets don't fit.

He is trying to say that this structure will not last very long (it has relatively short lifetime). In fact, very very few of Chinese keyboard buyers prefer hotswap sockets for keyboards, so Chinese GB runners do not have a lot of experience designing keyboards supporting hotswap (will avoid many potential problems with the GB).

This GB was a successful GB in China (there were limited amount numbers of different colors but they were still gone within minutes), despite the fact that Chinese buyers prefer 80% keyboard.
