plate mount stabs is a strange choice, and screws on the side is a strange aesthetic choice... but looks neat. not for me but good luck

We have tray style tada compatibility, and it will be easier for 1st time builders as they can forget.

edit: will probably change this.

[xondat]

I hope the renders aren't the best thing about the keyboard Seriously though, it's looking amazing. Definitely will pick one up, choosing a color will be difficult.

[Slash Emperor]

Just take my banking information fam.

[Vigrith]

This looks fantastic, it's a shame I'm inept when it comes to building stuff like this - choices are so heavily narrowed when I need my boards to come assembled. Best of luck though Joseph, as said this is beautiful.

I might do some assembly. A lot of people have PM'd me about it so maybe I'll have a little assembly party of this . we'll see when it comes around.

Glad you like it!

I'd gladly build one for you if you covered all of your expenses! This thing is a dream :O.

JChan, did you REALLY need to run an IC? heh. Bring on the GB dude =D so stoked! HYPE.

Oh yeah, is there gonna be a harambe engraving option?

Oh. Oh, now we talking. Please do let me know if you get the assembly party going, everything about it is amazing - sort of convinced myself I didn't need more 60 ish boards after my r1 WhiteFox but... Clearly, I lied. As usual.

The Rose Gold case though..... mmmmmmmmmmm.

[Fetty AWP]

Awesome case, though pcb mount stabs is probably the way to go.

[potatobot]

looks great!

65% Hype train! WOHOO

[sachin3767]

Absolutely loving this board design and I am a fan of the 65% layout.

Just sad to see no ISO love.

[JDragon]

I want all the colors :O

The option to use PCB mount stabs would be appreciated.

[luckyryan333]

You got my attention, and make bros love 65% excited.

q1. Why POM? Why not add AL6061 option for base?
q2. ps2avr? PCB from WKL store, or from your own one?
q3. Can't tell if enclosure combines with its plate or not?

We're changing it to support PCB mount stabs now. Not an issue . We had both plates done.

q2. ps2avr? PCB from WKL store, or from your own one?
q3. Can't tell if enclosure combines with its plate or not?

1) Pom because RGB. It will shine through.

2) I don't think WKL makes a 65% ps2avr.

3) Enclosure is not combined with plate. They are separate.

>> Got you. Any plan to offer AL6061 option for base?
2) I don't think WKL makes a 65% ps2avr.
>> Exactly. Guess this PCB comes from your own source. Any plan to support other 65% PCB like Fi****?
3) Enclosure is not combined with plate. They are separate.
>> Actually not prefer kinda enclosure. Glad to hear that.

Prepare to get on 65% HYPE train, too. 

[effectiveduck]

Damn... I'm actually kind of speechless right now, this is so beautiful. When and how much?

We don't plan on the aluminum bottom for r1. But maybe r2? Who knows! It's very possible but we want to keep this a little management for the options.

I'll really have to review this once pricing finalizes.

Damn... I'm actually kind of speechless right now, this is so beautiful. When and how much?

November. Pricing will be released once it settles and samples are in.

[derzemel]

ISO? (European here :-P )
Split Spacebar?
edit: If these are not planned for R1, but you are considering them in R2, then I am definitely down for R2

[effectiveduck]

Just to clarify is that for rama's design or the floating desgin?

Rama design is pending pricing. Sandwich/floating design with alu plates is gonna be $110 with pcb and stabs without shipping.

Sorry mate.  No iso.

Edit. No split spacebar, only split backspace

[Den441]

This thing is literally a dream as BAS1C said above. My favorite part about it is that bottom POM plate seems thin, so led effect will be subtle which won't distract too much from the design of case itself. Best of both worlds. You can tell a lot went in to the design of this case and I really appreciate the attention to detail. There are definitely more modern design elements, but the wider bezel gives it that vintage rock solid look. I'm probably going for a space grey. Not sure what switches and caps yet though. Great work jc and RAMA! Groundbreaking stuff here.

Pom base! Aluminum plate.

Rama had a video of him showing the material shining through some leds. It looks good. I'll find the video and post it.

[kawasaki161]

 Do I even have to comment here? Saying that this is awesome and that I want one?

Also, since I'm pretty new to the community tbh (really started getting into it in March this year) I have a question for the elders, was it always so stacked with new stuff? It seems like every month ends up offering more stuff than the last one (and my student wallet does not like this at all).

[oatmicro]

Those colors options is so goooooooood

so many interesting products from RAMA made me feel happy.

Space Grey is very interesting. 

[pr0ximity]

I like it, looking forward to seeing samples. Will the matte black be hard anodized I take it? Wish there was a 60 , but cool that it supports wkl layout

[duynguyenle]

Jchan94 plz add ISO compatibility for the next round! (but if funds permit, I will grab one of these ANSI ones anyway at the end of the month, hopefully GB doesn't close before then)

[sony]

Oh split spacebar? You didn't tease that.

[jal]

This is really nice. Like a lot. Now, the little acquisitive jerk in the back of my head gets to go to work on the rational parts explaining why I need yet another board.

[waqar]

Will there be a keycap design for this? If yes, please add icon modifiers with command key.

[xondat]

Oh split spacebar? You didn't tease that.

Where is the split spacebar?

Might be r2.

[romevi]

ABSO-FREAKIN'-LUTELY.

[pixelpusher]

Man, timing is just aweful.  Where was this post like 2 months ago??   

Currently waiting on my Sentraq 60 to build my first underglow board with hyperfuse, so you know I'm digging on these photos!  I'll totally have to buy one, although in now a span of just 1 year after joining Geekhack, I went from 1 keyboard to now 7, 3 of which I built myself and 9 keycap sets.  WHY YOU DO THIS TO ME?

[doostin]

Is there backlight support on the PCB?

[Overchecken8]

Oh split spacebar? You didn't tease that.

Where is the split spacebar?

There isn't one...? Not too sure where he got that from.

[Mr.Lunchbox]

Maybe confused spacebar with backspace?

Yeah I think it's either that or split shift. Either way I like having both those options.

[iRumy3]

Hmm interested for sure, looks good!

[dbucklin]

Space Gray or Silver would be my pick.

[Auxo]

eagerly waiting

[laminam]

definitely interested

[Dominathan]

Yes Please!!!

[ticktwo]

the color pink is very interesting 

[lishi]

Ahhhh..... even though hhkb layout is my favorite I don't think I can resist this... especially with that space gray!! 

[__]

That layout and space grey are exactly what I'm going looking for for a build. Extremely interested!

[kolashnikov]

Planning to join as long as the price isn't astronomical.

If the plate is not part of the enclosure, will we be able to order the two in different colors? e.g., black case, silver plate?

q3. Can't tell if enclosure combines with its plate or not?

3) Enclosure is not combined with plate. They are separate.

Added the Matte Black Render.

Also, I don't know if we'll have these options to choose different plates. It kind of creates an inbalance of units ordered and complicates things to some extent .

I'll consider it.
