(Not sarcastic btw but if you go this far in cloning the bottom at least go all the way)

Same question about "peerless".
PCB specs? QMK?
Is the logo laser etched? I don't think that adds a very premium feel.
Estimated price?

That blaring led is certainly different. I’d have to see it on but I’d imagine it being very glaring. Branding is a little over the top imo.We are polishing it ;)

Binge named it Peerless.
That indicator LED is way too large, how would it work? also, shouldn't the logo say 'dare to be different'? In addition, the logo not being centered over the arrow keys would probably drive me crazy

The Peerless switch is not very popular, but it does have its fans that like it a lot. The biggest complaint about the Peerless keyboards are that they use low-quality guide-shafts for stabilisers.
An actual Peerless 80% with fixed stabilisers might actually be desirable to the switch's fans.
Choosing "Peerless" to name a keyboard would therefore be a bad idea. Confusing. If you do it intentionally, then that would be a dıck move IMHO.

Nice OTD clone, please add the cutouts on the plate like on the FMJ while you're at it :thumb:
(Not sarcastic btw but if you go this far in cloning the bottom at least go all the way)
What OTD board are you referring to?
Post by: xondat on Tue, 06 November 2018, 09:45:36
I think the "meant to be different" logo is a bit ironic on an OTD replica, however I like the overall design choice with the straight edges! I also like that there is no brass insert :D Keep at it Hammer, looks like a banger [:
Exactly which points are a replica?

360c, 456gt, 356cl
Though I should clarify that I don't mean the exterior, I mean the internals, compare the bottom to the 360c:

Lemme state again that I don't think it's a bad thing, I've wanted to get an affordable TKL with OTD mounting for a looong time now, but the FMJ is only available in China and not really affordable anyways.

explanation is in spoiler.
More
The whole mounting system on the back piece is (can't say 1 to 1 replica cuz I dont have measurements) VERY similar to the OTD360c (is the only kb I can refer to since I haven't owned any else). That means that the mounting for the plate and case + hole for usb cable are VERY similar. Just my take on it tho.

I will not put my slogan on the top anymore.
And btw it's just a sample, we will not use laser engraving.

I think that's a good choice to make, as per the engraving.

What you said is right, I designed it 2 years ago and OTD is hot in China at that time, people like its traditional design and so do I, I want to make a traditional looking keyboard and used their structure.I think the design looks good so I don't wanna talk smack on stuff in an IC.I think the "meant to be different" logo is a bit ironic on an OTD replica, however I like the overall design choice with the straight edges!

That branding is an instant turn off, looks tacky as hell
Yeah, not sure about the logo.
Reminds me of a Gamer Keyboard MK3 1337 Pro.
The rest is nice though.

I think most people prefer a clean aesthetic, especially on the top and you can get away with a bit more on the back or side.
Also, I would say your "H" logo and text's design doesn't translate well to the enthusiast market, sort of like how I think the dolphin text between the arrow keys and home cluster is a bit out of place personally.
Lastly, I think externally the design is clean especially that base! Good luck with the buy hope you take peoples feedback about the logo and consider the change :)
Post by: lundmore on Tue, 06 November 2018, 23:20:44
Do you have dimensions? angles?
I'd drop the front logo + slogan and change the bump ons to wider, lower profile ones.

In. With the logo. Everyone always tries to remove the logo. Go with your heart.
it's not a dealbreaker for me (after all i own a mira) but it's not the prettiest logo in the world

When I compare your GH|DT|/r/MK-wide famous 60% Hammer case to your current purpose design, your current purposed design is similar to all other designs.
I do think some unique and attractive design features of the 60% Hammer case can be implemented in this TKL design.
