[GB] E6-V2 Custom 60% Keyboard - INVOICED

[gaiden]

Guys when u solder board already

Plz post pic here I need you guys feedback

Appreciate it 

First of all thank you Exclusive for coming through with overall smooth development and timely updates. Below are a few things I noticed which could be improved.

Quality is great. Feels very solid. My favorite HHKB so far! 8.5/10

That said IMHO there are a few things I like to point out maybe worth considering for better or worse:
(there are in no particular order, I'm just naming them as I go)

- The screw holes in the front bottom part could countersunk another 1-2mm so the entire screw would sit nice and flush when fully tight down

- Brass screws would have been better choice that goes better with the weight.

- I understand the screw under the name tag is different due to length but maybe it's something that could be avoid with minor redesign?

- The height of LED arcs on left and right side could raise another 5-6mm at least IMO because when I try to pick up the keyboard I would try to hold it on the sides and right now it's impossible

- Switch Plate having screw underside mount to the Top Plate before Top Plate having underside mount to the Bottom Plate would have been a better construction.

biggest hope is for higher LED arcs on the side that would be great.

my 2 cents

Here is my build! really good quality, I have some very minor marks on the bottom near the LED cutouts and a small scratch on the weight (pretty sure I can just polish it out) but other than that the board works great!

Here is an album of my build: https://imgur.com/gallery/4Vk75

I totally woulda ordered one if i had known that. I thought that one and the E-Team E6-V2 were standard. I totally woulda gotten 1-2 of those had I known they would look SOO much nicer. You should make stuff like that way more clear.

Ehh, I kinda hate the printing. I woulda pay extra to get nice engraved brass ones with custom stuff. Printing on brass just looks cheap to me. Carved or smooth is fine, like, i would love to carve brass and then fill with enamel or something. But I HATE that I can feel the printing on the brass ones. Enough I'm not sure I'll ever use them. That's why I wish I had ordered the carved brass one like in that photo. It looks much more high end than any of the others.

Yea ,standard was engraving it more easy .

Customized was too much it impossible to engraving one by one  .not because the money  ,for factory is not necessarily

I prefer engraved much more, even if I can't customize it

[nonah]

Agreed! Will never use my non-default ones because they look so much worse. Not a huge loss I planned on using the default ones anyway.

But it's probably something that should be made more clear if you plan on offering this for the next run!

[gaiden]

TBH I ordered extras tabs/tags thinking they would be just blanks if no customization were put in but they all came in with E6-V2 on it. 1 printed in white and 1 engraved. I don't mind it but maybe in the future leave an option for blanks.

Add option for "blanks" too if you can.

Just finished my build, I think it turned out well. Only two real things I would change next time; Brass weight screws and the nameplate mounting.

Also, that green is looking good exclusive!

I must have filled out the form oddly, because I managed to get mine with the default text, but printed. I like the look of the engraved more, too bad.

Fine ,about nameplate letter this things done .it will have a way solve next run

I'd love to see WKL option for the top plate next round.

I'd love to see WKL option for the top plate next round.

Oooo I like this idea too. Especially if I could still get an hhkb top too . I want a WKL just for the heck of it and cause it takes nice photos, but I know HHKB is what I'd use.

[finalarcadia]

Love your manufacturing quality exclusive. Any chance for slight design changes round 2? Would like a slightly more refined design. Perhaps get rid of middle piece and make weight go through bottom piece, like the X60. Or a weight in the back, like the evil80.

Thank so you advise

[raymogi]

The side profile is so sexy. Definitely regret missing the first round but for sure will be joining the next round.

I don't think taking out the middle piece to make it look more like the other keyboards would be a good idea. Sure there are plenty of room for improvement but in small amount. We can't have every keyboard looking like x60 or evil80 there needs to be some separation in design otherwise why even bother making it? Unless its a faulty design, making dramatic changes would do more harm than good IMO.

I'm in agreement with this. I love the current design of the e6-v2. The middle piece is refreshing and makes the board more unique.

[zekkin]

I'd love to see WKL option for the top plate next round.

I'd be hard pressed to not join the next round if a WKL option were offered.

[kmba]

Definitely don't take out the middle piece. That's what makes the board special.

[GeneriksGiraffe]

When is the next round happening?

[afrokobe]

yea definitely dont take mid piece out, gives a world of color combos   I wouldn't mind if the led holes were filled though I never have underglow on

[excluisve]

Next month or later
