Please release it for GB asap, I need 1 so badly right now. T.T I missed out on the polaris and now I cannot afford to miss out on the Vega.

This is pretty accurate: https://ai03.com/Status =>"PCBs undergoing preparation" on 2020-08-09.

Just bumping this back up - bookmark it and keep tabs there for updates on Vega (as well as other projects).

Very excited for this. The purple Polaris is so stunning, I'm hoping this colour is an option for Vega.

Vega will go through multiple rounds and different colour options will be swapped in.

Hopefully this will be my first high-end keyboard

Yoshi · « **Reply #465 on:** Tue, 25 August 2020, 06:32:01 »

I really like how this board refines features from the polaris. The seamless design is beautiful but i find that the board may look a bit bland, especially from the top down view (since it just looks like a typical 67 key 65% keyboard, like a kbd67mkii). Personally i really like the ai03 logo, maybe adding it into the top right might add some character

Fearian · « **Reply #466 on:** Tue, 25 August 2020, 08:15:51 »

I don't understand why every keyboard needs to have some type of logo jammed into the design. Half of them look terrible because Product Design skills != Graphic Design skills. Why run the risk of destroying a design that is praised for being clean and minimalistic?
IMO YMMV

Agreed - Vega is perfect as is. Personally, a large part of my interest in Vega stems from how clean it is; any visible badge or logo on the top would really dampen that.

No thanks. It's the opposite: instead of making them more "premium", logos cheapen products. Minimalism is what makes this board attractive. I absolutely refuse to buy a keyboard with a logo. Quality design should speak and advertise for itself.

absolutely 100% this.

blocker logos are ugly af and I still don't understand how people could possible like a dumb logo more than an additional key on the top right corner.

As you may have seen on social media, PCB production samples have arrived and are undergoing testing.
Things are moving along, albeit slowly.

better take your time and make something nice instead of rushing it

and I don't have a problem with waiting a bit longer anyways. bought too much keyboard stuff for this month already :'D

it's not yet made public what the availability type is going to be but it's most likely not unlimited given the problems that this created for the polaris groupbuy.

I'm a Mech noob, been rocking a Corsair K70 (pre-rgb, Cherry Brown) for years now, which I fully understand doesn't count. About 3 weeks ago I thought I'd see what all the fuss was all about

, down the rabbit hole I fell.

Lost track of the Rabbit a while back, but damn these biscuits are great and do like to the look of Vega. Personally I love the minimalism and agree with the above that it benefits from being brandless, a rare treat in 2020. So I guess I've made my choice, I'm in.

Likely start with Glorious Pandas as I'm team tactile for now. Not sure about caps yet, more digging is required. Suggestions as ever, are welcome...

be fast if you want to get one of these boards. very fast.

it's extremely hyped now and it will most likely be limited in units available.

and it's also not going to be a crazy deal like the Polaris.
Expect something in the range of $300-400.

defmoves · « **Reply #496 on:** Sun, 06 September 2020, 16:29:25 »

Duly noted Elmo, thanks for the advice, do hear these things are gone as soon as they arrive, so I'll be mindful. I'm paying mind here, and on discord. Anything else I should do?

Working on some fallbacks none the less. Say something a little less bespoke, such as an NK65 (when in stock), or the Drop Alt. Which are certainly kinder to the wallet, yet seem to lack a certain elegance, not to mention consideration in comparison.

I'm not too sure but I think PC plate was always a planned option.

Will there be brass plate as an option for the Vega?
