    Definitely looks interesting, I'll be keeping my eyes on this one.

    That bottom row looks really interesting, definitely a different look from the standard WKL look most custom TKLs go for. One thing I have a potential problem is in the

    Only support standard ANSI layout

    Because I can't live without my split back space.  :'(

    That engraving looks really sick though, definitely the best part of the board hands down. Though I do wonder, is the color of the engraving changeable or are we forced to use red?

    Definitely share the same opinion in regards to the bottom row being really interesting.

    Won't be able to join this round but if there's ever a second round, would prefer to have the underside (brass weight?) changed since I find the engraving to be a little bit too "in your face" with the branding, IMHO.

    Unfortunately only the standard ANSI layout is supported this time as it will require the redesigning of the PCB. And yes you could choose custom color as well as custom text on the name badge!

    The engraving part on the weight is just the initial and sample design. I agree it is somewhat "in your face" and we are open for suggestions for more refined designs. Any opinions is considered and appreciated.

    You say that this supports standard ANSI - but i still see a stepped caps lock. And that does not bode well for the "standard".
    Will it come with stepped caps or normal?

    I have not decided the service yet. But it costs around $45-50 with tracking and takes less than 7 days to delivered.
    I will try to find the best service and try to save your money.

    For the top right badge, could we get it engraved however we want? In cursive, etc.? Or are we limited to one font style?

    I would love cursive! Looks amazing!

    Custom engraving on a custom is something I'm actually surprised I haven't seen more of.

    Definitely digging the look of this one! Filled out the IC form.

    IC form updated: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSex_5q8GvnG4VRvzoyn0eyyLmjNn7gFdeRjKv_q8cNXGducZQ/viewform?c=0&w=1
    Please fill out the form if you are interested, it helps a lot.

    Please keep in mind that we won't likely see any major changes in the final product. I think we should focus on the weight design and limited/founder edition from now on. Other layouts/suggestions will definitely be considered in future designs (if it happens of course...)

    I'm going to paste some of my feedback from the IC form here:

    The top of the board looks especially nice! I have three pieces of feedback.

    1) The cutouts on the bottom that allow for the side lighting is a bit aggressive-looking. I think it would be nicer if it were smoothed out a bit. (This is totally subjective. This reminds me of some of the angles from the TANK, which I wasn't a fan of.)

    2) The weight has too much text on it. I think it would look much better if the designers names were removed and it was just the logo and E8-V1.

    3) If the designers names cannot be removed, there needs to either be more space added between "Designed by E-Team" and the names or more space between E8-V1 and "Designed by E-Team". Right now it looks like they're just misaligned.

    Thanks!

    I also forgot to mention, is it possible to have a detachable cable option? I like the look, but I can imagine it being a little annoying to store away with a cable attached to it.

    For the name plate, you can give us the design. We will try to do it as you want. It can be customized. But I will calculate the customize price. It will be a bit higher. But not too much.

    Yea I know. It depends on PCB. Anw, you will get a nice USB cable for free. Haha.

    Thank you for your feedback. It is much appreciated!

    1. Yes this is very subjective, perhaps we'll see a more classic and less-aggressive looking in future designs.

    2 and 3. I'll have the weight remade and post the redesign on here soon!

    Board looks really nice. That shifted spacebar would drive me nuts for gaming though. I rest my thumb on the edge below the X and C key. It's shifted over just enough where I can't do that :/

    Pretty excited for this keyboard! Some aspects aren't my favorite, but for the price and the unique features it does have it is a no brainer to buy!
    Thanks!  :thumb:
    We will try to do our best!

    Thanks!

    This is an awesome board, the only thing really holding me back is a non detachable cable.
    I can feel you. But this time, we don't have another choice. Anw, you will receive a nice cable for free.  :thumb:

    Board looks really nice. That shifted spacebar would drive me nuts for gaming though. I rest my thumb on the edge below the X and C key. It's shifted over just enough where I can't do that :/
    Yea! I will update another design of top soon!  :cool:

    Looks good, but I agree that the weight design would look better with only the logo and the E8-V1, just my opinion.
    Looking forward to more updates!

    Just for the record I like the bottom row like it is now vs without window keys.

    Totally agree with you. It's very unique and is why I'm interested in this GB. But honestly, I'd reprogram the right gui key to app (right click) since I use it way too frequently.

    Not sure if I missed it anywhere, but is this a limited GB? or is everyone who enters getting one?

    It's nice, but is very derivative.  I.e. it makes me think immediately of Duck Orion, and then newer boards like Mech27-TKL: https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=81351.0

    With the LED light hole style, i can see that, what intrigues me the most with this (and to an extent, the matrix series boards) is the unique bottom row. I am not a fan of anything that isnt winkeyless... but i also really like the way this stands out. if i can save up enough, then maybe. depends if this is super exclusive like the matrix is. not really interested in fighting for a 1/10 slot or anything of the sort tbh

    Not just that but also the side sculpted cut-outs and the stepped rear of the keyboard.

    Upon a closer review, I'd like to change one thing. Could you change the screws on the bottom to hex instead of Phillips? Not only do they look better, but they will last longer. Also, adding the option to match screws to the color of the weight would be pretty cool  :thumb:
