I imagine that by changing the design the plate will no longer be compatible with the original case, is it right?

Still compatible with Realforce Internals. No point doing it otherwise.

If we gather more buyers, WinKey would be possible:)
So lets register our interest here, we need WK!

no

Yes

I like this design of this more compared to Norbauer. Will definitely join for this.

That would be up to the Xondat.

Winkey would definitely be nice, not everyone has access to an 86u and 87u with WKL blockers is not a very good combo in my opinion.

But on the other hand, you have to understand that adding more options would increase the overall risks both for the buyer and the GB runner especially.

I know - I spoke already with Xondat and this is why I'm asking to check how many people here would like to get WK instead of WKL.
If not this round, then it could be possible in round 2.

xondat · « **Reply #206 on:** Sun, 16 June 2019, 08:03:38 »

I'll do a poll before the buy runs, but I'd really like to keep it to one top version.

Reasons:

3 versions to 6 versions
Less pieces of each top piece for same overall number meaning higher price
A poll I ran showed 75% WKL, 25% WK

>WKL
But... Mac users need all 3 mod keys..
And no don't tell me to map Capslock to Control. I already mapped that to a better key.
Damn.

phinix · « **Reply #208 on:** Wed, 26 June 2019, 10:35:00 »

I also want WKL now:)
As we confirmed on Discord, WKL case will actually cover left Win key and right Menu key on 87u.
So Win key will still be there. Sweet:)

Ordering the V2 prototype very shortly, and the daughter board prototype is being ordered this week.

When the GB is live, I'll be doing some "commissions" for the plates. In other words, I'll probably do 5 one offs. I don't want to do series production just yet on plates though.

xondat · « **Reply #213 on:** Fri, 26 July 2019, 11:24:49 »

Daughterboards have been soldered. Still waiting to order the prototype case

Just waiting on previous batch to finish so the prototype can be ordered... once it's ordered it should take 2-3 weeks to produce. Then I can consider the group buy itself.

I'll do typing tests for the plates I have, but I'm not sure I'll be ordering any along with the prototype.

Oh and the daughterboard should arrive next week. That's really the last piece in the puzzle, but still want to produce the V2 prototype

K fairly sure USPS lost them whilst getting it on the plane. Tracking hasn't updated in a week. Just my luck

Hiney has spares so will give it a few more days, but not SIL if they're properly lost.

xondat · « **Reply #225 on:** Fri, 09 August 2019, 19:17:49 »

Got the daughterboards, but I forgot that I needed an internal cable... Will make one of those, and that should be done by the time the prototype is delivered, which should be end of month.

No, only R1 Realforce TKLs.

saint_james · « **Reply #233 on:** Fri, 20 September 2019, 00:34:40 »

ETA: WinKey preferred, if that's even an option at this point. If WKL I'll wait.

Dakk1d · « **Reply #234 on:** Fri, 20 September 2019, 03:46:45 »

Yeah this is a day 1 cop. Looks much sleeker then the norbaforce.
Do you have any renders for the gray version?

OK, thanks for the info. I'll keep my fingers crossed for a grey version. Would look so good with the stock-RF-caps as well with tons of other sets.

Nope, just original Realforce keyboards (first editions).

Small update - The prototype has arrived and I'll release some pictures on Friday!

WK and WKL will both run, and pricing will be announced soon (same price for either).

In the progress of getting final renders done!

When will the actual buy start/end? Nothing is locked in right now, but it's next for sure.
