the theme just kinda seems slapped onto this board...
I would rather this board be sold as just a nice 60 honestly. The addition of an ayame theme just seems very weird to build more attention. if you friend really likes it then just run it for him maybe. otherwise this just seems like your trying to bring attention to the board via weebs rather than what the board brings to the community. idk. I just beileve that designers should design around a theme they care for. not what their friends like *shrug*

its a nice board, but I just dont like the way the theme was done. otherwise GLWIC,

That's a valid feeling. Though, "attention" definitely was not the goal when incorporating the Ayame theme. If anything, any weeb themed product seems to bring about a certain amount of disdain from people in the community. I had already guessed that would be reaction I'd receive from some people before I even decided to do the IC. If I was after "good attention", I wouldn't have bothered with the theme. Instead, I went with it because I genuinely enjoy the VTuber. It's true that wasn't the original direction of the design, but after Trifelife put in my head that my red prototype would have made for a great Ayame themed board I agreed and decided that was the direction I wanted to take the board.

If you think the theme wasn't well integrated, that's fine. However, please don't insinuate that I did it for some sort of weeb attention grab.

people really just design a keyboard, put an engraving on  it, and then say the board is inspired by something! good luck! still looks good!

Looks nice, though I don't know why you couldn't incorporate feet into the design.

FAQ
Q: Why no bumpons?
A: It was an aesthetic decision. Aside from the emblem/logo, I didn't want to interrupt the curves and smooth design of the weight with cutouts for bumpons. For those that are worried that the polished stainless steel weight will get scratched, I understand your concern. However, stainless steel is relatively hard. Unless the board is very seriously mistreated, it won't get damaged very easily. Though, I still wouldn't rough it up needlessly. As such if you're interested in this board, I recommend using a deskmat with it and storing it away properly when not in use.

This is the board I've been waiting for, but I also wish there were bumpon channels added to the bottom. Don't provide them, and call it an aesthetic choice if you want, but the option would be nice to have, as some setups don't sound great with a deskmat.

Although I respect the vision, id have to agree with everyone else in the thread and say just add some feet cutouts, it would be a huge qol upgrade for buyers.

Looks like a simple 60 with a fairly unique bottom... but id personally prefer less vtuber and more bumpons.

glwic!

edit: Knew the bottom looked familiar somehow, and its the Lodestone that it reminds me of.

I really like the design and the bottom, but I'm also in favor of adding bumpons. I'd actually suggest not adding any cutouts for it, and including some for users to attach if they want. Feet vs no feet is a very different sound profile, so the option may as well be there

The back somehow reminds me of a keycult. Clean design nonetheless and looking forward to seeing this board launch and roam amongst enthusiast's setups!

New Prototypes
After many setbacks and delays, the prototypes are here! This run, we had both polished and bead-blasted weights made.
However, my manufacturer has complained to me that mirror polish on a stainless steel piece this large is extremely difficult to produce and QC. So, it is looking increasingly likely that we will be moving towards only providing bead-blasted weights for production.

A bit sad about no mirror bottom.

Also I still don't understand why not provide a full 60% top option.
