Pretty damn nice, but please no side usb.

Boy_314 · « **Reply #4 on:** Thu, 13 September 2018, 12:23:00 »

Looks very nice. Not a fan of the side USB as well.

lbassett21 · « **Reply #5 on:** Thu, 13 September 2018, 12:25:13 »

Looks solid! As mentioned the side usb is probably not the best idea but i bet it will look really nice if it becomes a reality!

hansichen · « **Reply #6 on:** Thu, 13 September 2018, 12:28:53 »

Maybe call it Mars 6.5

Looks nice though

Visionaire · « **Reply #7 on:** Thu, 13 September 2018, 12:31:23 »

Looks really solid. I'm interested.

mudcakehoney · « **Reply #8 on:** Thu, 13 September 2018, 12:32:49 »

I agree on Mars 6.5 and needs a black option on the form too

breckstar · « **Reply #9 on:** Thu, 13 September 2018, 19:33:08 »

Impressed.

LazerCat · « **Reply #10 on:** Fri, 14 September 2018, 04:30:51 »

Looks great! Will we be able to choose the nametag color? Also not too fond of the usb placement.

Jae-3soteric · « **Reply #11 on:** Fri, 14 September 2018, 05:38:52 »

Love the colour combo - and it’s a board where I like the RGB. Not sure the side USB is a good idea - I’d prefer it on the back of the case.

Rubbermilitia · « **Reply #18 on:** Sat, 15 September 2018, 08:58:46 »

Shouldn't this be called Mars 6.5? I'm not a fan of the usb port being located on the side, and the branding is a little too in your face, but I guess it was like this on the 8.0 as well.

I would definitely like a two tone 65, there are some cool ideas here, but I would get sick of the big ass "MARS" logo

8six753o9 · « **Reply #22 on:** Tue, 18 September 2018, 01:49:15 »

I love the two tone. One suggestion - can you have the logo to the side instead of the middle? Like

|—————-MARS-|

instead of

|———MARS—-—-|

That's how the TKL was. Think they are trying to do something new especially with the arc, center fits the asthetic

Are you planning to only have different top and bottom colors or would the same top and bottom color also be an option? (Personally not a big fan of the 50/50)

How accurate would you say the renders are to what the actual board colors would be?

Sylvester · « **Reply #42 on:** Thu, 01 November 2018, 07:36:10 »

Get it from factory

ohter color still waiting.

indiceiris · « **Reply #43 on:** Thu, 01 November 2018, 08:50:16 »

Colours looking good - I assume that the plate on the pink top is a proto? (Blocker over switch hole)

OmegaZero55 · « **Reply #44 on:** Thu, 01 November 2018, 09:14:17 »

I'm loving the white and teal option. I might have to get one of these!

Colours remind me of the Canoe. But it's top mount.

So, how do I get in on this buy?
