Long time no see,i've been busy lately. There is a good news.We have made contact with the Apple Macbook pro Anode Factory. Now we can have some next level anode.
That being said,we decided to try it first. So we brought back our ancient project the HHKB. It's a shame we didn't do it right the first time. It's such an beautiful layout,so i wanna run it again.
I have run a very private GB in China earlier,so i have some pictures here:

Which PCB will you offer with this? Will it be a common one or something you made yourselves?
Just do what you want to do to my wallet. I will not scream 'RAPE'!I was just wondering, did you already need to get a larger house for all the stuff you bought this year?

Damn, the anodizing looks amazing. But I never was a fan of MX HHKBs.Common PCB. GH60 bface all fine. I didn't decide which one to use in the kit yet. I want to make a little surprise. ;D

Oh yeah one more questions. Will this be a fixed layout board again?
Since this will aim at HHKB layouts, I won't even ask for ISO enter but could you allow split _LEFT_ shift for ISO users?

Because the spacebar is a 7u spacebar, not the 6u one. So that's HHKB-style instead of true HHKB, right?
One thing to confirm: does one need to cut the PCB at the block corners like the scenario of installing an Eagle PCB into a Viper case?

About the pcb, i dont know about Eagle's PCB.But if you use GH60 or faceu or Bface,there is no cutting anywhere. Besides,you don't have to use plate in this one.

Oh wow these additional pics are very convincing.the pink ones are not taken by me. lol

First,i don't think screw-in weight is good idea for a 60%. I don't know. You can convince me to do it. I am always open to suggestions.BTW I am trying to add an optional acrylic layer in.
About the layout, i'll make sure we support ISO this time. You can split both shift and backspace no doubt

A little hard to admit for a grown man but I do enjoy "underlight" support and acrylic spacers. If you consider to support RGB underlight, I highly recommend going with the B.Face PCB, my favourite RGB underlit PCB.

Does it have brass weight in it?No, there is no weight in at the moment. But like i said before, convince me. I am happy to make a change. haha :D
I am not quite understand what the meaning of brass weight. This is already weight about 1.5 kg. If i insert a brass weight,the weight will just add 100 g or so. Not a big difference.

The contrast of material is what I prefer most about the weights, not necessarily the weight gain overall. It looks nice to me and leaves more room for customization on your end. Plus is can also leave open the possibility of someone making another weight for the board later.
I'm fine either way, but weights looks nice to me and I've always enjoyed them.

I would be more on board with a small emblem that could be changed in with different metals or something, but thats expensive and unnecessary. I like revo's stuff cause its pretty damn minimal, and a huge different colored rectangle is offputting. also, fku

unfortunately it's not the same anode factory. The Dr.D factory is the normal one. The apple anode factory is a recent development and it require different CNC method,so i can use it on Dr.D.Most importantly,Apple anode doesn't come cheap.

The iphone anode factory are so big,they won't do keyboards quantity. They will hung up the phone the minute you say the magic word "keyboard" . so sad.

If the ano is really high quality then the price is well worth it IMO
The black probably looks nice though, all the black macbooks look dope, so I'm sure it won't dissapoint lol
Worth it yeah. but if there is a brass weight it becomes insta trash
Imma trash you moistboii

Please guys, what color do you guys want for PCB? Black and gold?sounds good?

Black! Something that doesn't pre-determine a color scheme is good for me. WKL.kr-white is also great, especially for underlight.

I agree with this. Because the Abel PCB is the best looking pcb I've ever seen.

I will have 4 or 5 color for case, and maybe 3 or 4 colors for plate. It's no good to have too many options.

Could you also make a Winkeyless top too? I want the HHKB style way more, but I wouldn't mind getting a Winkeyless option too!About the red case.
Also, red case please!
The red is really hard to control. It may cause serious color difference between the upper and lower case. So until i solve this problem, i am not comfortable to do red cases.
I really hope you can understand this.
well, I think it's odd to use winkeyless topping since i use some round corners. :thumb:

Not sure if I'm on the no weight train aswell tbh.
Weights can be nice in some cases, but I imagine the implementation to be strange on a tray style case.
On that Note, what about mounting the plate directly to the top half of the case instead of a bottom mounted pcb?

About the weight, i still think we don't need it on a 60% keyboard. Maybe next time on TKL. ;D It's just the keyboard are too samll and i want it to look neat.

So happy to hear this. The diffuser was my one concern. I don't plan to use one, and I don't want it to ruin the solid aesthetic you already have.
I find diffusers sometimes break up the solidity of the metal, and make a case look like a bunch of parts, instead of a coherent whole like yours is now.

I won't change the design. Just trying to add one diffuser cause i am using b.fake PCB right now and it has underlight. Don't wanna waste it. Anyway if there is a diffuser it won't be too thick. And i think most people won't use it,cause this design right now is good enough. ;D

FCFS will also create drama.
If you ask me, the best way to do it is create a GB thread, wait between 3 minutes and 3 days for approval and then publish a limited time period during which you take orders at least 24h ahead of time. Serve all orders taken during that limited time frame.
I don't see anyone being able to complain about that mode. If you make the order window really small ... like 15 minutes ... some people might have to set an alarm to get their order in but anyone who REALLY wants this will have a FAIR chance of getting it. Follow GH closely and not miss anything ...

Raffle seems fine as long as we know ahead of time. Are you not a fan of how artisan raffles are done as well?
And if it isn't raffle or fcfs then how else could it be run? If there is a limited amount of units that are sold in a limited time window, is that not fcfs?
No matter how you slice it someone is gonna be unhappy about how it's run.
I don't see this being nearly as limited as some recent sales though, so I dont think raffle is a posibility.

Well since it's not going to be super limited, leaving orders open for a short time window should work. If that doesn't give enough orders, leave it open a little longer :)
I've just seen a few disapointed dudes with the random-approval FCFS GBs lately. Letting everybody know ahead of time precisely when orders are going to open would be really cool. Those who really been following this thread closely and know they want one can get in and for everyone else it's probably a little bit of luck

Not sure yet,there is still something i have to figure out. I am thinking start GB in the end of this month or early Jan.nice, can it order now?Nah,you have to wait for GroupBuy. This is just interest check. If enough people want this we can move forward and start GB. ;D
groupbuy when?
Can't wait!
Will there be a limited number available during the GB? If so, will it be first come, first served, or will it be raffle style?
No limited number. I don't like drama so i would run it the old fashion way. I will have at least couple of days for people to decide. Just put in order in GB time period.
Its just take longer lead time if i have too many orders. But let's not get to there first. I will make sure you can order one if you want to.
And this time i am thinking to post the status of each buyers. Will people like this?

Please, asking if posting tailored updates will make people happy. I think people prefer being left in the dark for months and not have a clue what is happening /s

Just please NO raffle style ...I like what you said about this. I will have accurate time within one week. I am little busy with day job. This will happen soon. My plan is IC for 3 weeks and then GB for 1 week. I'll take as many order as i can. When we finish GB i'll post next IC. I have several plans waiting. :D
FCFS will also create drama.
If you ask me, the best way to do it is create a GB thread, wait between 3 minutes and 3 days for approval and then publish a limited time period during which you take orders at least 24h ahead of time. Serve all orders taken during that limited time frame.
I don't see anyone being able to complain about that mode. If you make the order window really small ... like 15 minutes ... some people might have to set an alarm to get their order in but anyone who REALLY wants this will have a FAIR chance of getting it. Follow GH closely and not miss anything ...

Given if the anodizing is done right, does it mean that it is virtually impossible to make a scratch on a "hard-anodized" aluminium case during normal use?
I have Apple products too, but I don't how the quality of their anodizing compare to the very good ones.
I've seen many scratched alu cases and some with very conspicuous imperfection on TaoBao. Well, the aluminium case of Apple products are great because of good quality control, just like how we can see the quality of VE.A case - even their B-ware cases are of better quality than most of the Chinese cases made in a rush or still sold in full price / sent out despite imperfections.
I'm debating if I should have this one or the custom made 2-pieces HHKB-style Z-case in custom colors, e.g. translucent crystal. With the same price I can have 6 Z-cases. I just want 2 HHKB-style cases: 1 with 7u spacebar and the other true-HHKB with 6u spacebar.

The apple anode we use is not from the iphone. it's not hard-anodized. we are still using 6063 alu. And hard-anodized doesn't mean it won't scratch, i have seen so many so-called hard-anodized full of scratches.Is it possible to use a cheaper annodization factory to cut down on the cost?

I understand your concern about the Chinese fake and low quality stuff. I can assure you we only do the good stuff here. The reason this is so expensive is simply we have to pay more to use a good anode factory and we have to use more CNC time and eventually more man hours.It took one worker at least 3 hour to polish one kit before anodizing. So,it really doesn't come cheap.
As far as i concern, you should choose the one you like. I know this kit is expensive and it may not please everyone. So, you don't have to buy it if you are not really like it. I am cool with that. ;D
Post by: RevoTeam on Mon, 12 December 2016, 21:46:28
Will the case be available for sale separately? From what I'm seeting it's GH60 compatible so I'm definitely interested.No, PCBs are not that expensive in here so it seems like a good deal to include a PCB.

Great communication, easy to work with and solid attention to detail on the product. Final judgement reserved of course for when it's in hand, but I'm extremely eager to see the Dr. D board based on progress so far.Thanks,Dr.D is in progress. I hope i can ship them before this GB start. I am really looking forward to it as well.

Rest assure Dr.D will be great. We have so many experience doing keyboard with that anode factory. It hardly make any mistake. However this new factory with apple anode have lower qualified rate.

You mentioned that the PCB will be a common 60% PCB like the GH60 or B.face, which implies the standard mounting holes. Can I use a standard 60% plate with this case, or will the top + bottom design require me to purchase a special plate that comes with the case?

I think there are only few 60% that don't support that, iirc the b.fake didn't, but if they use the b.face or GH60 like they said you'd even be able to go ISO-HHKB. Of course if you want to use a plate it would have to support that, but PCB mount is possible as long as they don't use some strange PCB.

any chance of split left shift?Yes, you can split it and the plate support it.

This should be able to house a alps64 PCB and plate as well right? (since it is poker standard)I am not sure. since i dont know about apls64. If it's same with gh60,it should be fine but i cant make any promise.

the pcb (alps 64) would likely fit, your issue is going to be the plate.. you would need a plate made specifically for alps.
wouldn't even need a plate from the looks of it, but if you did probably wouldn't be too hard to get one cut.

ALPS switches always need a plate to align them properly and to prevent damage to the contacts.

The problem with the alps pcb is i don't know the dimension of it,so i can't say for sure it can be used. Especially when i have a fixed spacebar row.

Agreed, it's more a matter of - well I have an HHKB already... Then the logical person in me says... well yeah, but it's not MX.
Oh well. I guess I'll just have to buy another

Will this be a sandwich construction (Top case & bottom case) ?
And how will the Plate/PCB be fixed to the case? Is the plate screwed into the case or fixed between the top/bottom case or is the PCB screwed into the case bottom?
Post by: FoC_Tow on Tue, 27 December 2016, 22:47:54
A little question about the construction of this keyboard.
Will this be a sandwich construction (Top case & bottom case) ?
And how will the Plate/PCB be fixed to the case? Is the plate screwed into the case or fixed between the top/bottom case or is the PCB screwed into the case bottom?
From what I understand, it's a two part case design with the pcb attached to the bottom of the case.
Therefore pretty much every 60% pcb aswell as a standard plate should work without the need for blocker cutouts etc.

But just like JD45, the case should taper a little bit to avoid looking heavy at the front.
Pasting Rama's design below. Can be a good example. Hope he doesn't mind. :D

However it will be up and running within this week so everything will be fine and ill start this GB as soon as everything back to normal.

Any chance you can offer a frosted polycarbonate or acrylic base to show off the underglow of the b.fake pcbs? I think that would be a nice way to do it without ruining the case's clean lines.
what i am trying to do is add one layer. You can chose to use it or not.This way is much cheaper.The reason why i want to add one layer is i don't want to waste the pcb's under light.If i am doing a PC or Acrylic bottom case it would change the whole design,and that's not what i wanna do. ;D but thank you for your advise.

Pretty sure it has universal plate support as it looks like a tray mount case. More pics and a build log for the pink revo hhkb can be found here: https://bbs.wstx.com/thread-699962-1-1.html
Worst case is you have to source a separate SS plate elsewhere, but that should be easy enough :D

Not sure if I can describe it very well, but I use a gon crystal 60 with lubed gateron blacks daily which is a fully carbonate case and plate.
The fully pc setup definitely makes the board super quite and gives it very unique smooth feel compared to a hard pingy metal feel.
It doesn't feel noticeably soft but definitely a lot less harsh then steel or even aluminum.
It's hard to describe honestly as it doesn't feel plasticy at all.
Maybe search for lastpilots crystal tkl buildlog and look at his typing vid, it probably pictures sound and feel better then I could describe it XD

You mean In regards to Feels Kafka? =)Softer sounds nice, steel does feel harsh with my linears/: maybe I'll pick one up. I'll look at the build log, thanks!

Yep, ill put in one more PC plate.so it'll be two plate,one alu one PC. PC is very cheap in China,it doesn't cost much. i think nobody refuse this.Ill put it in the kit,i won't give too many options this time. I give too many options last time and it has been an nightmare for me.Polycarb plates would be awesome! O=ill put it in the kit.it's quite cheap here.
Please please Revo <3<3<3
Thank you so much, Revo! Will we be able to buy more than 1 Polycarbonate plate/aluminum plate? Or is it only 1 per kit? (:
Ah okay, that's understandable. Is there at least a chance of getting 1 aluminum and 1 poly per kit? As an optional charge? (:
If not I understand. I can see how multiple plate orders can get a bit confusing.
Edit: I think I misunderstood that, so we will automatically get 1 of each plate in the kit? If so that's amazing!
You're the best, Revo!
Could it be frosted polycarbonate like the Pink HHKB picture showed?
Also, are these colors confirmed? Pink/Gray/Silver/Black/Mystery?/, correct?

tbh with so many things going on this month, i'd prefer if the GB or at least invoicing for this ends mid-late febraury.. my wallets gonna die if this starts + ends in the next week or two ;_;
I plan to do this earlier.But my factory have been shut down before and with Chinese New Year coming up factories are closed until 12th Feb.
Personally,my holiday starts 22 Jan,and ill be back on 9th Feb,i may start invoicing in the holiday period. We can always work out some payment time or something. So don't worry about it.

Yes! Start this puppy already! I'm excited! The sooner production starts, the better! :thumb:
Don't forget the Red aluminum and Frosted Polycarbonate combo too! ;D
I wonder what the 5th color will be! Since red is not allowed, is blue-grey possible?

MoreStainless steel plate? If not will there be more rounds of this kit with stainless steel plate?

Pretty sure it has universal plate support as it looks like a tray mount case. More pics and a build log for the pink revo hhkb can be found here: https://bbs.wstx.com/thread-699962-1-1.html
Worst case is you have to source a separate SS plate elsewhere, but that should be easy enough :D
Will the plate have notches for switch swapping without desoldering?
According to the following picture from the wstx forum post linked in the quote above, no:

I've never used a hot-swappable board, but I seem to remember reading that they can feel wobbly or loose--or something along those lines. If that's the case, I'm glad these plates won't have the notches.

Yeah looks like we're going to have to wait at least a couple weeks, probably more, due to the issues with the anodising factory. Nobody's fault really although I just sold a bunch of artisans and stuff to fund this so I'm pretty keen.

I am sorry. It's not scratch resistant. I dont have the machine to test it if it's harder than the normal ones. So,just treat it like a normal one. Btw,this anode is from Apple macbook,not iphone. It may be not be that good. But it's still better than others i think.

Was really wanting to gauge *how* black it is, or if it's more like a dark charcoal gray.eh...it's more black.I'll try to get it done as black as it can be.On the other hand i do have a gray color.
can you show the grey one as well ?:D
Well I just looked up the keypad on massdrop.
If these cases are available in purple I'm gonna need to much more seriously consider getting one.
Pink is a guaranteed option, right?

Purple would be amazing. Red too, but Revo said he won't be doing red. :'(

Who needs another purple or red board when there's pink? xD
And why do people always want red anyway? Most overdone color not only in customs, but pretty much anything pc related imo

I think I was the only one who requested red. My reason for wanting red is to have something similar to a red Kmac Happy. Regardless, I'll still be jumping on this group buy. Revo makes nothing but good stuff! :thumb:

Since the case is tray mount if you can find a plate/pcb that supports split space you should be able to use it in this case

I never thought people want to see black version because black is black.I dont think there will be any difference between blacks.

Call it "Hapking." It's a great portmanteau of Happy Hacking to pay homage and it has the word "king" in it which appeals to my patriarchal sensibilities. You could integrate some kind of crown logo or design to accompany the GH engraving or logo printing or whatever you decide to do.

I'll put it inside,since i have run this before in China. I want to make a difference.And since i want to run it here,i thought people would love a GH logo somehow.
Like other guys say it won't be visible. So no worries.
Plus,this kit will be the best product we ever made,i will have more strict standard than any board i made before(because it's more expensive). So,put some kind of mark is necessary.

Primo! Definitely my favourite so far.

I expect this GB to start in April and lead time is 3 months after payment.

Thanks for this info, good luck in the GBRevo group have 500 ppl，but they don't know about this so they can't answer you. It's just me run this myself.No one answered my question in the QQ group, is it so called 萌新没人权？So I just ask it here: will this project finish (all products made) before September? So hard to get an answer from you DaLao.Can't make any promise so consider no. And i have to work everyday,so i can't talk everyday in qq. If you want to ask question add my qq(1556101142) or ask here.
Ohh those groups have quite many ppl, true? Not expecting YOU to answer, but just anyone.
Fine, not before Sep., pass, no more question, thx a lot.

Is 1x PCB, 1x red aluminum plate, 1x polycarbonate plate still guaranteed per HHKB?
Post by: Kafka on Wed, 29 March 2017, 11:43:11
So excited about this!Not 100% sure but I think its 1 pcb, 1 stainless steel plate, the housing, and polycarb plate is extra.

Revo said it was going to be a red aluminum plate a few pages back, and a polycarbonate plate (Since they're cheap to make). I'm not sure where you got stainless steel from, but if that can be added too I'm not complaining. I tried a good quality steel plate and it felt great with linears!

Let's keep our fingers crossed for free polycarbonate plates and maybe a steel plate option too. Worst case scenario, LeandreN has amazing steel plates (I'm using one with my linears!) The thought of a red aluminum plate sounds really nice too though!

I tested their prices with just a normal ansi, 60% layout and it's not as cheap as I thought I remembered it was. :-[ 1.5mm SS plates would be like $42 before shipping for a quantity of 10-49 and about $38 for a quantity of 50 or more.
Also for those of you asking for brass, I didn't see anywhere that BBS offers a brass material.
There is also lasergist who might be able to give a better price on quantity items like this, but we would have to contact them. If we do explore this route, I think it would be best to approach them with a final version of the plate we are going to use.
Sorry for the false hype, I thought I remembered their prices differently :(

Yeah it's just not as low as I thought it would be. Lasergist might be even lower though.

I want to get shipping down as well. But last time i charge $35 for shipping and i lost tons of money. This kit weight over 4kg after packing. Keyboard is not that heavy but packing is very heavy. This way we can make sure everyone can get their keyboard safe.From my point of view,the most important thing of shipping is safe. You don't want any damage caused by shipping or lost by shipping company. I think it's worth it.

Like i said before,2 plate in this kit. One alu and one PC plate.
I know it's expensive,but I think it's worth it. Otherwise i will do it using normal anode.

Definitely in!
I'm completely tickled by the way the Dr. D project turned out- it's stunning. Then I took iPhone out of case to see the Apple anodization... and yup! Going to be a little spendy, but very willing to wager it will be worth it! :thumb:
Thanks for doing this for us, Revo Team!
Thanks my man! but if you want to see what it is like you should try Macbook. technically it's a factory doing Macbook. Iphone is much better. Even though i know where iphone anode factory is,there will never be a chance to use that factory. They do need a huge moq.

If not too many order it can be finished in July. It works with GH60 and Bface. Others i haven't test.just want to do a little research. This selling at 350 kit+ 50(shipping)+ 20 pp fee. one set could cost $420. How many people willing to buy? One of my dear friend tell me i could sell many sets,still i need to plan for factory. Don't want to be delay again. I am currently planning 50 sets (MOQ is 50 for this)doing in 2 months.How long would this take to completion? Around August or? Also, it works with most 60% PCB's right
one more thing, i will throw in one set screw-in stabs if this hit 100 kit. I can give more gift if this sells good.
:D :D :D
Sounds good - I'm in too!

Do we get the same usb cable as in Revo&Dr.D?unfortunately not, that won't work with 60. It works better with 80% or more.If you are thinking about cable,i can get some braided cable with a reasonable price. You may see it on Massdrop.
https://www.massdrop.com/buy/braided-nylon-usb-cable This is made by a friend of mine. I think we can get a cheaper price for this.

Is there a final design image set for this? I'm combing though the thread right now, and there's photos here and there. There's a mention of having diffusers down there though - wondering how those looks.I didn't take new pictures. The diffuser won't change any design. So what i have change from day 1 is i have make some hole(1mm) for round rubber mat in the bottom.It's so hard to notice. Oh, i have put a GH inside of the top case.

Sounds good - they look great as of now. You mean you've carved a GH wording inside the top case? That's so cool! Also I'm just wondering how's the anodizing quality compared to on of the Duck Viper cases - trying to get a feel of the anodizing quality! My Macbook 2016's anodizing is so smooth compared to that, so if it's like that it would be great! Can't wait to see one of the black cases!

Awesome!! And as someone with a Dr. D waiting to be built (couple of crappy iPhone pics in case anyone considering this HHKB board is interested in anodization quality on that one: http://imgur.com/a/lkaen (http://imgur.com/a/lkaen)), if the HHKB exceeds this quality, it will be one smoking hot keyboard!

I'm not sure if that's the case. If you look at the website you linked earlier, the plate was cut HHKB style. That 1.5mm from a normal plate might not allow it to close properly, or scratch the annodization inside.
That's if the blockers are super thick, if not then we don't have anything to worry about, I was just curious.
Edit: I'm okay with any plate. I'm too excited. I just want it already!

Raymond mentioned that it works with the plates here. I think the version I posted is from his private GB, and the design is slightly different.

Post by: RevoTeam on Thu, 06 April 2017, 00:21:03
It is anodized in the same factory as Macbooks, but is the process and quality control the same as well? I'm assuming Apple uses a custom process. Knowing it was made in the same factory as Apple doesn't justify the price to me unless it is guaranteed to use the same process and quality. Any info there would be helpful.When i talked to them, i actually ask for better quality for this. Keyboard should be treat like an art piece instead of mechanical part. Even i said this,something wrong could happen when it goes to anode. Hang point,color difference,anode evenness,etc. What i can promise is i'll do my best and i will personally supervise the whole process of the anode. This means this HHKB kit will be the best kit we ever produce.I won't send out anything that has a ding or scratch on the surface or heavy color defference or uneven anode. If you buy this and receive it have this kind of problem.i'll change it for you free of charge.

Normal plate would work,no problem. I have already give 2 plates. I don't think you guys need another plate.
If you guys really want ss plate.I'll think about it. Maybe a small GB inside this GB. Maybe later when i close to shipping this,ill make you guys some ss plate.

Aggressively? It's about average for custom keyboards. Lightsaver V1 has an 11 degree incline, and even that's actually fine in practice due to low case front.
The Lightsaver inclination seems pretty ridiculous to be honest. Out of interest, how does the low case front makes it more tolerable?
Post by: Photoelectric on Thu, 06 April 2017, 14:37:10
P.S.: you may not want to use SA or OEM profile keycaps on larger incline keyboards or taller cases. I stick with Cherry for the lower profile.
Post by: johnthedong on Thu, 06 April 2017, 14:53:57
8° incline seems aggresively steep for Cherry profile keysets, could you please consider 5° instead?
5° is way more comfortable for the natural typing position (without wrist rest).
The Duck vipers have 11 degrees too, and it was fine typing on them. I think 8 is about the default hhkb inclination if I'm not mistaken.

5° may be aggressively too flat for some people, i find super flat keyboards incredibly fatiguing on the wrists and i know many people i have spoken to feel the same, 8° seems to be a fairly happy middle ground for a lot of people

Will invoices need to be payed immediately or just by end of gb?By the end of GB. If one can't pay it before GB finish ,one can pay a deposit of 50(Nonrefundable ) to pay it in a months. Meaning pay a deposit have one month to pay it. I'll cover this using my own money anyway. Pp give me money slowly. Btw i ll ship this using payment order. So the sooner you pay the sooner i ship it to you.

Also, is there example photos in black? Is the acrylic diffuser mentioned in the start of the thread still present in the final design? ;DSample picture will be provided 2 or 3 days later. I lost it by shipping company. Acrylic diffuser will come days later as well. I'll show them later.
