Title: [IC] Sofia - 60% Standard / HHKB / WKL [THREAD CLOSED]
Post by: Nixytheria on Thu, 20 September 2018, 03:18:28
Sofia

Hello Geeks

Just want to check if people still interest with 60% Keyboard.
Here's Sofia, Modern Classic keyboard with 60% Size. She comes with 60% Standard layout and 60% HHKB Layout.
Actually this case is inspired by otd 360 corsa and the brass weight is refferenced by TGR. i really like the otd 360 corsa design. And i want to make the similar one with different layout.

Title: [IC] Sofia - Modern Classic 60% Keyboard
Post by: dimo on Thu, 20 September 2018, 03:24:21
I like the color options.

Overall design? meh. looks kind of bulky and the side of the case is kind of strange but it might grow on me since I like larger visible bezels, and it might work since I’m really enjoying the colors.

It really depends on the price though, there have been a lot are of affordable 60% recently, albeit this one seems like a much higher build quality

Got a nice weight to it for a 60% compared to other options. Colors are nice, and the polycarb plate could be interesting. I actually like the bulky design. I guess it all depends on the price point and shipping dates once again, with all the 60% options out there.

Post by: otanishock on Thu, 20 September 2018, 06:59:13
Color options are definitely interesting over there. However case is kinda too generic in a sense. Would love to see some highlights to make it stood out from the rest of the pack. Maybe that's just me.

10 degrees is pretty steep.  Too steep for me,  but that may be something unique to this board if people want it.

10 degrees seems steep, drop it a few and most people should find it comfortable. Also really diggin the colors. I’d be in for this specific pink if the price Is right. I’m not sure how the community feels about this- but I dig the look of a WKL 60, any chance of adding that?

I also agree that 10 degrees is steep, 7-8 degrees would be good for me. Also, is this going to be top mount?

Just making inferences based off several things, and comparing it with what I think is an affordable 60% on the market currently (a  tofu) :

Has a brass weight, and it's engraved

Colors like the ones in the renders are hard to pull off with cheap anodizing

The inclusion/option of a pc plate usually suggests some more thought was put into the overall sound of the case

I might be completely wrong but I truly don't see the price being similar to the standard tofu and dz60's

Ah right, I think I kinda see what you meant. Seems more like you were commenting on a predicted price point and then hopefully the quality should align with that?

I don't really think you can judge quality before seeing an actual proto at least. Hopefully your inferences are correct however =].

I make it 10 degrees to create the proportion of the case shape

I still think you can still show off the design of the case and make it at an 8 degree angle. 10 degrees is nearly Duck level and people often complain about the angle on Ducks. Also, are there any updates? Any news on the proto?

Also waiting for the photos of the proto.. All in all, if the price point is gonna be competitive, this will be a good one.

The brass plate is sandblasted. Thankyou for asking.
For the typing demonstration, i just create it. But the camera looks so awful. And i can't get a good sound. Need some external microphone on it. But i'll create it soon

ISO will be support in all variants anyway, what i was talking about was the swiss cheese bottom row in the universal plate, as it is not needed at all when you're doing a WKL or HHKB build because you'll for the most of the time use the default (1.5 1 1.5u + 7u + 1.5 1 1.5u) layout

For the Price i can't lock it because they will quote it when the production is ready. So it would be after chinese new year.
But the good news is I just found a better Factory that will not increase the price even after the Chinese New Year.

Price: Around 300 USD
The factory expecting the price will be increase after 2019 chinese new year.

~GB ESTIMATED~ : FEBRUARY 2019


I have a question about the group buy date. If the price increase after Chinese New Year, shouldn’t the group buy end before Feb so you can lock in on the cheaper price?

For the Price i can't lock it because they will quote it when the production is ready. So it would be after chinese new year.
But the good news is I just found a better Factory that will not increase the price even after the Chinese New Year.

That's nice to hear, as long as they're reputable! I'm really looking forward to this; it looks nice, it sounds nice, and it's gonna feel nice on my desk.

New factory will be better at Quality Control? Anyways I am definitely in for one. I REALLY hope that Rose gold AND champagne gold both make it as there just isn't enough of them on the market.

Yes, the finish are good and they're working some keyboards too.
I'll keep the Rosegold and Champagne gold to GB

Hello, those colors are just temporary color if I can't get many color choice in the new Manufacture later.

For the MOQ i think it would be great if this GB hit 50 orders, so I hope for that orders we can get the cheaper price.
I'm not sure if i limit this to 50 or not, because this GB will run only once. that means there's no 2nd round

What is the height of the board? I can't seem to find it while I'm on mobile. Also is the LE option instead of NIX?


Edit: found it

Hello.... NIX is my brand and I'll put it on the brass... For the LE it means limited edition, it comes only on the prototype ^^ Thankyou for asking

Is there a way for us to opt out of the NIX logo?
It looks nice and all but it's pretty big for my tastes for a logo is my issue.

Could it be a little smaller? As a compromise?
I'm all for designers and artists having their name, or brand, on what they make, but the size of it takes a bit of the elegance from the 'Sofia' part of the engraving.
Does that make sense?

I think there are enough gasket boards out there that not every GB needs to have a gasket involved.

Please keep this board as-is, instead of redoing the prototype for the sake of testing the gasket/isolation mount, and risk extending the IC for several more months.

Gasket/isolation mount should just be for another board (65%? TKL?) after this one instead.

Regarding this question. This factory is very professional with the QC, You know, Europe guy, And I believe he is very good about the QC.

But... The main problem is, I'm NOT SURE he WANT to do the shipment from his premises to the EU citizens. I mean, he had a lot of work to do then he should handle this product till the shipment.

A lil late, but definitely interested.

If it’s not too late for suggestions I think that the nix logo on the weight looks off-putting. Most likely due to clashing styles between it and the Sofia logo in font and weight. Would prefer if the nix logo was moved elsewhere on the case or removed entirely.

Otherwise loving the design overall and hope it gets to GB sometime soon!

I've just seen this now and I would very much like one. Also interested in seeing this on Mykeyboard.eu.

What colour is that sample?

For the sample it is dark teal. But i'm not going to put this on GB since the difficult to get the same color like this.

Imo having a proxy in each region will probably make fulfilling orders easier. Of course, this will likely also mean that each kit will be a bit more expensive.

I respectfully disagree. I've been wanting this keyboard since the IC was first announced a year ago and I've been bothering the OP ever since to release it. It needs to come out now.

the top piece seems thick/ bulky compared to the corsa 360c, atleast to what it looks like on the prototype.  Maybe this would change if the proto is 8 degrees.

The prototype is on the Anodizer right now. We have to wait until it comes back to salvun.

I only decide that most high number in color voting before.

Lavender Silver....

Oke going to post this here!

Update on the covid-19 related delays!

Altho Salvun has kept working during these times. A lot of the supply lines and down line processing where very disturbed.
Machining of the Sophia proto is done. And at the anodizer.
We had no control over this and I do not disagree with the anodizers desicion to put everything non critical on hold until the high experience guys are back on the floor. And for them to prioritize medical stuff over other things.

So I have conformation from the anodizer that things are starting to move again and work will start next week on all the above projects!

i just get the message from Salvun, and then we are good to continue this project

Price is estimated to be around 300-400$ depending on add-ons (with or without the pcb).

Really hoping to see Sofia in GB soon!

Yeah I'd definitely consider this for a quality 60% at a good price.

Has there been any discussion about purchasing extra pieces along with a base kit? Example being if I want to get a Standard 60% top but also grab an HHKB top, extra plate to go with that, etc

Oke going to post this here!

Update on the covid-19 related delays!

Altho Salvun has kept working during these times. A lot of the supply lines and down line processing where very disturbed.
Machining of the Sophia proto is done. And at the anodizer.
We had no control over this and I do not disagree with the anodizers desicion to put everything non critical on hold until the high experience guys are back on the floor. And for them to prioritize medical stuff over other things.

So I have conformation from the anodizer that things are starting to move again and work will start next week on all the above projects!

i just get the message from Salvun, and then we are good to continue this project

Oh man, that green tho

Will this be sold thru a vendor or your own shop site?

Dear Folks,

I have several updates that you guys need to know.
1. Salvun is moving his anodizer that is more good especially in QC and production time. But the color choice will be limited. But this is the best option that we had.
2. Prototype is ready to build by some streamer, now we are waiting the update.

We hope that we could start the GB soon.
Thank you for all your understanding and patience

Kind regards from us.

We are so unfortunate to announce that Sofia will be back out since this is took so long and really outdated. I will postponed this and will make a change for the design. Maybe will put some Daughterboard on it and will make some another mount.
