Here you go, a graphic I just made:
Thanks!
Btw, the diffuser for the alu case means that there will be non alu in the alu case?
Also for the alu version is the plate integrated alu?
Just to be super clear here, the PC plate is integrated into the top part of the case and not sandwich mounted or something like that, right?
How will this compare in terms of feel & sound to a PC + brass plate like 910, or Singa?
How does it compare to a classical polycarb/alu sandwhich mounted to an alu case?
Is the PCB just kept in place via the switches, or are there screws etc?
Are all PCB's (esp hotswap) going to have the RGB underglow?
Btw what is glass-enhanced fiberglass? Does it have any functional aspect to it and will RGB lighting show through?
1) Yes, the diffuser in the aluminum case is not made of aluminum.
2) The plate in the aluminum Think6.5 is integrated, so similar to Rama M60-A and Koyu.
3) The PC Think6.5 also has an integrated plate, so no sandwich mounting. It's actually part of the top.
4) The consensus is that PC sounds pretty good, so more PC the better?
It'll be too hard to tell until we get some typing tests on the prototype. I'm pretty excited to hear it! I know Oldcat has some nice switches ready to go.
5) Aluminum as a material tends to carry sound very well, and in our hobby, that usually means pings from the springs or leaf, which is why people feel that aluminum isn't the best choice when going for sound. Alu cases can be modified to sound better, but since PC is a more sound-absorbing material this isn't really necessary. The TL;DR is that when it comes to sound PC is good, aluminum not so much.
6) There will be screws that hold the PCB to the integrated plate on the hotswap version. I am not positive on the non-hotswap, but solder should do that job just fine like in other setups.
7) All PCBs will have underglow LEDs as well as 4XRGB Esc.
We're still not sure how much light will pass through the glass fiber-reinforced black polycarbonate. This will have to be tested once the prototypes are finished. It is pretty cool though. I don't think anyone else is making keyboards from this stuff. It's super, super strong!
