Hi,I'm heavily leaning towards the WKL-like layout. In previous rounds there was no option to get a badge with that layout. Will you consider adding a badge to the WKL layout this round?Also, there was a question in the previous GB about breaking out the unused pins on the Atmega32u4 for modding. Is there any chance those pins will be exposed on the board?Quote from: MajorKoos on Sun, 21 January 2018, 22:52:18Have any pins been broken out on the PCB for modding?Wondering if all that space inside the case could be put to good use?Yes, but you need to mod directly from 32U4.

Quote from: vonswoopington on Tue, 03 July 2018, 09:02:21Same here. WKL with badge would be my 1st preference. Hopefully it is possible his round.Please keep one WKL version without the badge.

Will the PCB be fixed to use a proper PWM pin to drive the inswitch LEDs? Also, will it have USB C to C support this time?
Yes! Love the badge logo, love the case design, love the layout, love the colors. Some more unusual muted color options would be cool. For instance RAMA's M-60a had some interesting ideas for the muted mauve color ("Dusk").
I barely convinced myself not to get this the first time, there is no way I can skip round two. That red looks gorgeous but I agree I hope there's some innovative color choices this time!
So glad there's a round 2. Sucked that I missed the first one.
Such a great looking board. I just have no use for the arrow keys.
Wow not sure how I missed this the first time.

Just to be shure: The BT PCB will officially support QMK?That would be the 'must get' argument for me. Gesendet von meinem Xperia Z3C mit Tapatalk

How heavy is the board??
Quote from: LVNDSCAPE on Thu, 05 July 2018, 02:41:12How heavy is the board??Not that heavy. There's no additional weight and it's fairly hollow. I've found that adding a layer of sound dampening foam is sorta required to eliminate the pinging.

The bad news it kinda sucks. It's a rubber dome that feels like typing on damp sponges, particularly on the spacebar.
will there be option for non blue tooth? and Black colored case ?

The bad news it kinda sucks. It's a rubber dome that feels like typing on damp sponges, particularly on the spacebar.The PC Jr is based on the F62 board, after cost cutting and adding arrow keys. Look at the distinctive ledge above the keys, it was so that you could place a pen or pencil there, since the keyboard was intended for the financial services. And if you want the pcjr like kb, without the arrows and actual good switches, you end up at the F62, the grand daddy of this design.
Can this hot swap between 3 device. Just like anne pro, logitech k380 ?

That's a cool theory and everything, but the original IC explicitly stated it was inspired by the PC Jr keyboard: https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=91874.0It's pretty apparent in the design, as well, given that the case style is nearly identical other than the layout.Also, that shelf was present on every single Model F. That is not a feature exclusive to the kishsaver. Furthermore, it was primarily intended as a stand for quick reference cards for software, hence the vertical notch to the left side of the shelf on some of the earlier boards (notably the Datamaster, Bigfoot, and F122).

The original guy was just asking for something similar with no arrow keys is now stuck watching two guys argue what board most resembles a CA66... Poor Dude. No need to call anyone retarded man. kf was only trying to help.
