[Patrickwu]

This is very nice! Fast fulfillment too!

Couple of questions tho:

1. Where's the IC?
2. Can i buy 2 boards, if possible 3?
3. Where will this ship from? I'm in Asia, i would like to use DHL Express, would that be possible?
4. Is there a Discord Server?
5. What's the QC/QA process for this boards? Just curious.

Hi Ryan
1. Sorry I didnt actually make an IC form, feel free to post whatever you think here or email me at support@neokeys.net
2. Yes absolutely. When the order page is up you'll see it's actually quite simple to use.
3. They'll be shipped from Shenzhen China. Yes I can arrange shipping if you have any specific request. You can leave messages at check out page or email me after you placed your orders, make sure you send me order numbers as well.
4. Not yet but I'll set up one soon.
5. My team will check individual plates and PCB's before shipping.

Thank you so much for answering. Sending you an email right now. 

EDIT: I tried emailing you, didn't work. I'll PM you here in GH.

Here is a sample of Palette in Eternity color scheme, which has 3 layers of frosted clears and 4 layers frosted pink, with a brushed brass plate.

Yes we can definitely ship to Australia.

It's embarassing but I just realized that I can't post in GB forum until Oct 22nd because of forum rules. So groupbuy will officially launch on Oct. 23rd Friday. Stay tuned.
Good thing is that I'll have plenty of time to design and manufacture soldered PCB with ISO, split BS and 7U support.
Meanwhile I'll keep posting updates on samples and perhaps type tests.

This looks really nice. Consider me interested!

the tabs at the top remind me of my high school binder, much much neater though.

[NotchBomber]

Why not do a short first round in the discord and then a second round here. Use the first round for feedback to further improve it for the GB here ?

Actually I need the time to develope and test solder PCB. If I actually manage to finish that soon I might do a smaller run before Oct 23. I'll keep you guys updated. thanks for the suggestion.

[Patrickwu]

Here are some photos to explain the gasket structure.
Plate locates between second and fifth layer, supported by 12 silicone and EVA gaskets. The plate is completely hidden from all 4 sides of the case.

[owlheart]

Love this! Peeping those color combos tho

[binepad]

Its really nice, looking forward for more prototype pictures.

[gandalf]

Instant buy honestly wtf this **** so siiiiiick, I hope you guys will have a CAD proxy :L

[Pulsing Penguin]

100% interested

[Patrickwu]

Got questions on board dimensions from Discord, here are some drawings and numbers. Opening for USB-C cable is 12mm wide.

By using 3 or all 4 layers of feet, you can have 5.3 or 6.9 typing angle.

[hottrout]

Love the detail now, with ISO and at a great price I might go in on two of these for my kids computers.

Good luck getting 2 boards on a 200 fcfs cap inexpensive board generating a lot of interest lol

Looks interesting.

Very true but one can only try.

[FilthyCasual23]

This is an amazing board, and kinda makes me glad I missed out on the nk65 drop yesterday. I was wondering, will the pcb accept 3 and 5 pin switches, and are the stabs plate or pcb mount? Other than those questions, I'm super excited for October now.

Thank you for the compliment, glad you like it.
PCB takes 5pin switches and PCB mount stabs.

Some updates:
Complete board with brass plate weight - 810g
Copmlete board with carbon fiber plate weight - 630g

A couple of renders of custom color schemes from buyers.

[Sundowning]

can you maybe do fluro green.. toxic colorway color...?

[wencan008]

The character you chose to represent your Dawn color way，暮，means dusk, not dawn

Not gonna lie I've always known I'm kind of illiterate as a Chinese.
Thanks for pointing it out..

[Nonnegaard]

The colours are so nice, my god.

[Patrickwu]

Here are photos of sample plates, just to give you an preview of the actual colors.
Clear, Frosted Clear, Frosted Black, Red, Purple, Orange, Dark Blue, Light Blue, Cyan, Green, Yellow

Flo Orange, Flo Pink, Flo Yello, Flo Green, Flo Blue, Frosted Orange, Frosted Pink, Frosted Yellow, Frosted Cyan

[Patrickwu]

Got another sample built up, color scheme Eternity, brass plate, ink red. Tried black EVA gaskets this time and didnt like them at all. Will stick with white ones.

[Forkman]

Yo this looks sick! Hopefully I'll manage to buy one on the 23th.
Just have a few questions about the board and compatability itself, might have miss understood something in the post;

1. Hotswap PCB will have ISO and/or ANSI layout? (From EU but doesnt care about layout, just nice to know which keycaps layout i should be looking for)
2. Does it only support split spacebar and 7U, or will it support 6.25U aswell?
3. The feet layers, will they be clear and see-through, or will they have the same colour theme as the pre-set ?
4. Whice site will theese be available on, and will this thread and/or mechgroupbuys.com be updated?
5.and shipping will start around late december/ January i asume ?

Sorry if any of theese questions were dumb and repetative, this will be my first GB/build and I'm excited

1 and 2. Hotswap will be ANSI only. But soldered pcb will be iso, split bs, 7u spacebar compatible. And I'm seriously considering ditching hotswap completely for soldered only.
3. Every single layer is customizable.
4. www.neokeys.net. it'll be online before launch
5. that is correct. hopefully...

Okokok, hope you stick with hotswap pcb as an option *fingers crossed*, if not i'll need to find my soldering iron!

Noo, have you decided on Hot-swap or not?

[CJKnero]

I'm a new user. Pretty sure that this will be the first board, that I pick up. 

[teesui]

Super interested in this! Can't wait til GB opens!

[DoubtsBox]

AH this is so pretty I'm salivating. I can't help but wonder if glow in the dark would be possible. I'd get this in a heartbeat as is.

[Patrickwu]

Clear acrylic tends to collect finger grease so I'm going to include a microfabric cloth to the kit.
All future NEO Keys products will include one as well.

[Allkchi]

Just a question, why is there a max of 200 being made available? This thing is awesome and I would buy multiple if my wallet allowed for it

[mlacabrera]

Interested in this one, looking to get one for my first board GB.

Questions:
1. Any updates on packaging ?
2. Is there a limit to how many boards a person can buy?
3. Will I be able to try out customize color schemes prior to gb?
4. Can you ship to the Philippines?

[Vibez127]

Is it gonna be a fcfs basis or there’ll be a gacha and lottery involved if ever its a limited gb

Lead time is my major concern..
