Not that many chiming in here seem too on the fence... but for what it's worth, the Revo/ Dr. D GB has been really well executed so far by the good folks at Revo Team. 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.

I have zero reservations about chucking a bit more coin Revo's way when this opens up... looks sick!

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.

Anyway, This is a huge upgrade compare with Dr.D. It really worth it.  :)

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.

Btw joey how is your pcb doing? Have you made any progress? If you want to find a factory to manufacture your PCB you can PM me.I know a few good factorys can do some good quality PCB.

Hey Revo, this looks to be a great case! I have one question though.

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.

You are right sir,  what I was wondering if the provided plate options supported split left shift

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.
