Hello everyone Excluisve here

In the past three years, I have had a lot of sadness and tears. I am very glad that have been here for three years. also very grateful to my friends who have supported me for three years and hope that my keyboard can get your love. This time brings a new TKL design it is a completely different design. The key color may a little different

Make sure to fill this form if you are interested https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeqotHS9bl-miuGGcGjW9q_LLOMJxWq5iDRtkZsTwqapAmq3g/viewform?usp=pp_url&entry.1934590305=Reddit

Some new features:

*7 slop/6063Alu/QMK Type-c /WK &WKL

*Inner middle and top case seprate design we will see structure below

*change usb port to right side not middle as previous

*add titanium plate and open new E color like :yellow /pink https://i.imgur.com/9Hj3Dhx.jpg

Improvements:

*E coating :As we know since sandblasted brass stuff easy leave stains and Finger print so we have do the e coating on brass

it will keep brass color and surface clean when you touch it

*E-black ： In E6.5 GB e black turn out not so good on some case so i have change another e black this time

*Poly case : when screw up case repeatedly the screw hole easy be slackly so we find a way to avoid this problem (TBD)

Structure:

*We have separate the bottom step as a inner middle for gasket mount so that you could choose the material

of middle (Brass/pc/alu).

*but this time step not include in default kits .that is mean if you want get gasket you can grab the

middle, on the contrary is none.

*Top case color matching design you could think is a different tag.

*About gakset we will find more soft oring and fix issue on screw stabs

Layout:

I'll second this^ Split BS is basically a necessity for me.

Oh if there is purple I’m very interested

Sic_Alpha · « **Reply #12 on:** Sun, 13 October 2019, 10:48:18 »

No split backspace?

gasp · « **Reply #13 on:** Sun, 13 October 2019, 10:48:58 »

This may seem silly, but are there any plans to change the color of the o-ring or pcb? One of the only things that bothered me (and many others I talked to) with the polycarb e6.5 was how visable that peachy-red gasket was on every board I built. That plus the mustard yellow pcb was not very good looking, especially when compared to a pretty pcb like the PC singas.

Helpingly · « **Reply #14 on:** Sun, 13 October 2019, 10:51:00 »

Looks very pretty. Might be my first custom TKL purchase.

andrewregal · « **Reply #15 on:** Sun, 13 October 2019, 10:54:43 »

I love my E7 and E6.5 so there's no way I'm missing this!

If it's possible for this to be implemented, I would also love to see a split BS.

Yo that yellow is lit

Abstand · « **Reply #18 on:** Sun, 13 October 2019, 11:12:34 »

I love this design, tons of options and overall looks really nice. I am in for sure.

Steezus · « **Reply #19 on:** Sun, 13 October 2019, 11:13:39 »

Fingers crossed the light blue is chosen for one of the anodization options. I'm a big fan of the design.

Diedier Remedy · « **Reply #22 on:** Sun, 13 October 2019, 11:21:15 »

I'm in for the Group Buy regardless of the price. This is the type of board you'd sell your soul for.

Tommicorn · « **Reply #23 on:** Sun, 13 October 2019, 11:24:04 »

Omega nut. Please consider light blue!

Surefoot · « **Reply #24 on:** Sun, 13 October 2019, 11:26:13 »

In for a dark blue or a green.

super interested in this!

happycamper87 · « **Reply #27 on:** Sun, 13 October 2019, 12:41:47 »

Filled out the form but forgot to mention that split backspace is a must. Hope you can include split bs.

directheatedtriode · « **Reply #28 on:** Sun, 13 October 2019, 12:56:53 »

Very interested depending on price and filled out the GD form. Hoping TKL plus gasket is the next big thing!

IOVERCALLHISTIOCYTES · « **Reply #29 on:** Sun, 13 October 2019, 13:10:07 »

Is there an example of the green somewhere?

EDIT: wait, that's green? NEVERMIND I was looking at the bar
dammit i didn't pick green in my form

AlcoholEnthusiast · « **Reply #30 on:** Sun, 13 October 2019, 13:10:23 »

Not really a TKL guy, so I probably won't get this. That being said it looks awesome, and the design is fantastic. This should surely do very well.

Did you see the second photo?:

pixelpusher · « **Reply #33 on:** Sun, 13 October 2019, 13:46:48 »

That e-white with black looks amazing. Not sure why it's hidden under a "More" tag

Did you say anywhere how tall the board is at the front edge?

I think because E is still working out a better option for e-black. He's said a few times he was not happy with how the e-black parts for the E6.5 turned out & is looking for an alternative option for e-black.

Edit: Duh, it's a render... LOL! I thought it might have been a pic of a prototype with the old e-black on the plate & accent piece.

So down for this, can't wait for an e-white TKL, rose gold brass plate would be pretty sick too. Definite buy.

PotatoTM · « **Reply #39 on:** Sun, 13 October 2019, 15:23:40 »

Looks pretty sweet, following to see how it turns out by GB time

spyruf · « **Reply #40 on:** Sun, 13 October 2019, 15:57:53 »

I will be joining for the white and blue combo.

Is the 3 dashes near the nav cluster just an accent or can there be LEDs?

pixelpusher · « **Reply #41 on:** Sun, 13 October 2019, 16:42:50 »

My dream board would be a matte gray option, similar to mao with the accent corner just a few shades darker. I'd even settle for white with a medium gray accent corner.

reidd · « **Reply #42 on:** Sun, 13 October 2019, 17:37:25 »

Hoping dark gray ano comes to GB

SolidCactus · « **Reply #43 on:** Sun, 13 October 2019, 17:40:44 »

I have an E6.5 and E7 so I'm all over this!

this with GMK ashes would look sweet

One of the most beautiful TKLs I've ever seen! As expected from exclusive

theedappergamer · « **Reply #47 on:** Sun, 13 October 2019, 19:59:00 »

Oh how I hope that pc/pink board becomes a reality! that is simply stunning!

cicatriz · « **Reply #48 on:** Sun, 13 October 2019, 20:07:05 »

Will it be possible to have 2 separate materials for the case i.e alu top and pc bottom?

kronograf · « **Reply #49 on:** Sun, 13 October 2019, 20:36:10 »

Definitely in for this after the e7 and e6.5! Glad that you’re looking at the small details like PC screw holes and gasket screw stab compatibility. And the brass coating!!!
