Will there be a case for this KB? I heard one was in the works from early posts.

Hey folks, I'm working with a vendor to bring R3 to you soon. It IS going to happen.

Timescales aren't fully clear as yet, but I'll confirm more soon by way of a new IC via the vendor

Hey, that's excellent news!

Any chance this PCB would some headers for additional components? What If for example I want to add an RGB light strip, or connect something via I2C? Will extra pins on the micro controller(s) be made available in the design?

It would mean some major changes (and probably price increases) to the design of the pcb. Right now the board works off a single controller, but there was only one pin left to enable LEDs on the top panel board.

I’d have to remove those to give you an open pin for alternate use - or re work the board to have two controllers. I’ll ask my PCB guru for some more assistance on that as I’m referencing an old conversation at the moment. Once the vendor pops up the IC for Rev3 we can start to take a look.

I just learned of these monsters and am all the way on board. I'll watch for more news here because this is definitely something I need in my life.

(I wish this wasn't my first post ever, makes me look like some rando that showed up to drift off... No way, I keep looking at this thread every day and keep poking around the Internet for more info.)

You have at least one completely invested party in me for another round! Just shut up and take my money! :P Keep us updated and good luck.

At this point I've been wondering whats caps would be good for itlol. I think there were comments on reddit about plans to make a keycap set specifically for this board [?!] If so will they run at the same time as the pcb GB?

The PMKs look real sharp for sure. I've a feeling if I want to get real crazy or creative with the entire board it will be plenty of work tracking down keys.

It would be nice if we had a full compatible keyset in a sculpted profile like Cherry or SA to go along with the GB. The only one we have is DSA, wonder if there could be plans even for a cheapish compatible pbt cherry set.

Oh one more question, does the PCB support in switch LEDs; do we have to hand wire them?

Input Club has an IC going for something similar. They want to recreate the legendary "Space Cadet" keyboard with a possible "Input Club Symbolic Keyboard": https://kono.store/products/input-club-symbolic-keyboard

Were it not for this beauty I'd be hopping on the Cadet wagon for sure. Still hyped to hear about the H7 update, though. Not into LEDs myself by any stretch but I'll be darned if there aren't some brilliant designs coming from this monolithic keyboard.

Is the vendor still working on it, or are we dead in the water?

Just registered for GeekHack to express my interest in this!

I'll try to keep an eye on this thread, but please do let me know if/when R3 is up, I'd definitely be interested. Especially if we have an option for a case.

Click on "NOTIFY" at the bottom of the thread and you'll get an e-mail each time someone responds; I think that would be easier than trying to remember to check.
