Introduction(skip if you don't care)
Lysol here, been working on my ideal 65xt board for the last 9+ months, I made a couple of prototypes with another one
on the way of this version, I wanted to see if anyone would be interested in a run of this design I made.
I like xt layout 65%s but wanted said layout with the 0.75u symmetrical blockers as first seen on the Bauer by Omnitype. I felt like there
was a lack of 65s that had this option and wanted to make/design one myself. which ultimately leaded to the making of... LeFishe

Renders
(Case Color Renders by Pontus)



(Case+Keyset Renders by Dudeship)







(rip taiga latin kit)

Prototype Pics
this is a previous version of the board, there were some issues I found and iterated on for the final version this IC is for.
some changes include refining the o-ring mount for better o-ring friction on the sides of the inside of the board, changing interior weight
fillets & weight position, and moving weight screws over, and reducing the amount of space beneath the PCB, blemishes on the brass
are from me and ano banding on the right side of the board is a one-off issue just to this prototype.





Disclaimer: screws will NOT be Phillips, Hex machine/countersunk screws will be used.

Special thanks to Pontus & Dudeship for renders, to Sam Buddy/RMI for the initial PCB design,
to Oggi(GMK Taiga creator), Alessio(DCS Pink alert creator), Octix(GMK Apollo creator), and Ella(GMK Moscow Nights creator) for permission to use their sets for renders on my board.
and thanks to everyone that been supporting me in making this design over the 9+ months this was in development

looks noice but please consider using a C3 daughterboard instead of a custom one for ease of replacement in the future

daughterboard files will be open source so easy replacements will be readily available for those that need it via having it made by their favorite pcb fab or going though me since i myself will be stocking them as well.

this daughterboard also uses the same pinout as unified

Good **** Lysol

Finally, le fishe my beloved

[TypeSaucy]

 

[denibhoxha]

i aint even gon hold you bout it chief, this definitely is one of the keyboards of all time

[Extra Fox]

I dig this, I also believe that's likely going to be one of the best lead in images I've ever seen.
I'm going to go out on the limb-o-cringe here and suggest that it would be nice to put a rotary encoder in the top left of the Macro columns. I personally get a lot of utility at having one close at hand.

[PizzaForce]

Colors good, price good, mount good, DB good, layout good. Board is good.

Fixed layout bottom row lets go.

[CookieFlow]

Nice board for what seems to be a very fair price
Since the Google form IC doesn't allow to give much feedback I'll write my 2 cents here.

-WK option for me
-Very personal but not a fan of the color options besides Burgundy.
Maybe worth considering a more detailed IC form with what colors people prefer from your current selection and worth looking into replacing some if the numbers are very low.
Personally would have liked to see a cream/beige color and maybe an interesting blue or purple.

[lush_bunny]

IC filled. Could use some wilder colors. E-Yellow would be sexy. That or mirror polish raw alu. Super sexu.

[gotgoodiez]

With the LeFishe reference, I think we need a brown or blue color option

[stidal]

le fishe so le lit

[Chippy]

Wanted to hop in here and give my thoughts on the board. I have been lucky enough to have grabbed a proto from Lysol early last summer, and have been using it consistently. The raw brass weight has the patina to prove how much I have used it.

Some notes:

• My blocker is too short. This was fixed for the GB.
• Gummy mount ledge was missing. This was also fixed for GB, but by using a 30A o-ring it was a non issue for me.

Some images of my proto (obviously there are some differences, but I still wanted to share). https://imgur.com/a/9xQPImB.

I really enjoy the feel of it both top mounted and gummy mounted, though I prefer the gummy configuration. With 30A there is plenty of bounce for me, and it sounds to my liking. I settled on using Gateron X on an Alu plate using some janky OG Doubleshots and vintage macro column keys and am very happy with the board as a whole.

Excited to see this go into GB, best of luck Lysol!

thank you chippy. <3

e white and e yellow won't be possible for the manufacturer I'm going with, however, powder coating is an option they do offer so I'm tempted to see what they can do in terms of it. ie: wrinkle red

I would love to see more options then. I am very interested in this board <3

[xef]

ne canadian vendor consideration?

[Neely_12]

Will the plate only be red ano, because i'd rather not have a red plate with a green keyboard. Very nice price, I like this

[Lysol_]

After thinking of combos where it could look great I realize that red isn't the best for green. cause of that, the green color board will likely have the plate changed to silver instead.

But it will be Christmas again soon.

[Lysol_]

ne canadian vendor consideration?

with the current unit count of 200, an extra vendor at this point may not be possible but if interest for the board exceeds expectations, I may look into revising the unit count and adding one more vendor to allow a region a chance to get the board and not pay a lot in terms of shipping. thanks.

[lush_bunny]

Please consider Zion Studios and l/or Rebult Keyboards for SEA Vendor. Thank you 🙏

[notquant]

Looks good man! Loving the engraving

[madcap11]

Interested for sure!

[TheIcyKoala]

Really liking that side and bottom design! The symmetrical blockers really makes this for me too.

[weedboom]

Please consider Zion Studios and l/or Rebult Keyboards for SEA Vendor. Thank you 🙏

Other vendor but Zion please. Zion suck to manage GB as hell

[ggharsha]

This looks promising! Excited to see this product

Hmm Okay. Rebult and/or Keybox_Store ph?

><(((°>

I prefer the fish weight from Chippys proto to the new one but that is not a dealbreaker.
Very interested and will consider it depending on when this will run (and how hard my bank account cries then).

><(((°>

[marshmellohs]

I like this, yay for pink.

[chigi22]

Looks so clean with the symmetric blockers. Can’t wait for this one.

[Bluto]

Oh damn, this is beautiful, count me in!

[droideggs]

interested mainly due to layout and alps support. we need more alps support in general

[tngpq]

Any fishy color avail?

[GreyAmbience]

I am so in on this!

[mcmcmc]

i like your banner

[Reckless]

I like the design a lot, weight engraving is so cool. Top mount points looking good as well. I'm so ready for this.

Good luck with the project

A wrinkle finish would definitely be interesting. Would also love to see a red top/silver bottom option (or vice versa).

This keyboard welds!!!!

[granola bar enthusiast]

i have been seeing people with this board in their sig since i first made an account on GH, finally decided to look at the IC and now i understand

[Ghostinn]

I keep coming back to this board and keep wanting it, new weight is beautiful and the choice to do symmetrical Bauer blockers is a great aesthetic choice. Excited for this to run!

[eufiewufie]

very excited for this kit, will we have a choice on plate color or is it just determined by the case color? not a dealbreaker but personally im not huge on red

[ankit]

good keyboard

Hoping the red is more maroon in real life. Would be perfect if it's GMK Perestroika kind of red

Echo what a lot of people saying here, love the design not so much the colors. Needs like a brown, beige, yellow.. or something.
