Ok so maybe I understood it wrong, but the kit includes two plates, a brass and an alu one?Yep
You have my attention.We are using that layout
Looking for a layout similar to Massdrop ALT.
Will the board feature a weight? You mention "paired with the brass plate, and weight it would be an absolute stunning case", but it is not obvious if you refer to overall weight, or an internal weight. :)Yes by brass weight, i meant a polished brass weight screwed into the bottom
I've felt a melody keyboard before, hefty for a good price! Looking forward to more details for this one as well!
Voted 60% HHKB layout.

Can you add an option for alu bottom?For this GB we have stuck with acrylic for all boards.
I'd definitely consider joining for that price.
Melody96's GB was very smooth.+1 for this!
Would it be possible to receive a raw aluminum case?
A nice purple 65% to match my purple Melody96. ;D

Hey Dion,
How's the design coming along? Are there any updates yet you might be able to share with us?
Really looking forward to this GB!
Also curious to see how this is going?

We are have had some issues with the software when making the design, but jkaos has estimated that in about 2 weeks the design will be done.
I will make an update when it is done, and hopefully, get samples made asap.
Thanks
I was just checking out Aliexpress for a ymdk65 to complement my 96! Cant wait for some renderings :D
I hope there's a split space bar option...then I'm definitely in!
What's the mounting style going to be?
Looking forward to getting in on this. Have you already decided on the final colours available for the GB?yep, Black, Silver, Grey, Midnight Purple, and E White
Any ETA on prototype/renders and estimated GB date?

Speaking for OP since i'm doing the design and i'm the reason of it being late.
Design is kinda done, i'm waiting for pcb sample with daughterboard (which was shipped) to test it with the 3d sample (which will be printed soon).
If everything it's ok at that point, renders will be posted and a real sample in alu/acr/brass will be requested.
I hope we can choose a non hotswap pcb

Great to hear that you guys pour so much time into this. I am really curious about the first pics.
How is the prototyping coming along? Also, mind me asking what about the design proved to be a challenge?
Wow, that really sucks with losing the progress. Great to hear you are paying so much attention to these details and looking forward to first pics.Speaking for OP since i'm doing the design and i'm the reason of it being late.

1. making the typing angle 7 degrees while having the acrylic diffuse evenly
2. power outage, causing jkaos to loose quite a bit of work
3. Wei taking a while to respond as jkaos needed the pcb file to even get the design started
4. Work and family being our first priorities
Hope that answers your question

FUARK those bezels are beautiful. Pretty much perfect except for the spacer for the arrow keys, feels like I'm in the minority in the community that dislikes it though. How much space is there between the pcb and the acrylic bottom? The r1 Chiwi boards had a lot of space between them and because of that the sound was kinda bad.Thanks. Jkao would have to answer you for the spacing as he designed it.
Sample is finally done.Damn, the design looks really nice, especially from the side. Can we get a fully built one where the underglow is visible?

This is by no means the final product, but its close. We will be needing to make the aluminium top again, do to some sizing changes.
I have made another google form for you to be able to tell me if there is anything you would like to see changed/improved ---> google form (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1H0yox12-HrlICf0zmx340sJAia9Vka67BosGdjSaACU)

Also what was the design decision regarding the usbc port? Normally this one is a little "sunk in" if you know what I mean.
Sadly I am not a fan of the brass plate design. I know this might be controversial but the font would be better in a more simplistic design like the keyboard imo.
Looking forward to the gb.
P.s.: can we get a typing test too to hear what my predecessor has asked about? Reallt curious about that sound :)
Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk
I think a Polycarb version would be sick as well ;)I am considering a full polycarb/acrylic version
Is there an eta on when this will go up on kbsfans?Unfortunatley not, hopefully soon though. We are making some minor changes to the bezels, font, and some other sizing changes (there were some issues).
Guys, i know its been a while. Pretty much all that is left is waiting to get the font authorised.
Sorry about the wait.
Any ETA on those pictures? Would love a sneak peak and I am really excited how the design came out too.
Sample was posted earlier here's the link again.Yeah, I have seen this one. However, I am interested in the re-designed version after the feedback was collected.

So we are in the process of getting the new font authorised. Jkao has edited the font and made the bezels slightly smaller with very slight curves on all edges and corners.Any ETA on those pictures? Would love a sneak peak and I am really excited how the design came out too.

Are the units going to be limited? I would go crazy missing this one.Yes this GB is going to be limited
any updates on the render and group buy info?Again, both Jkao and I have been busy with life. I'm trying my best to sort everything out by the end of the year. The new design has been finished for a while now, however we have just been waiting on Wei (kbdfans) to answer some of our questions. Now that he has done that, all we need to do is to;
Will the 65% hotswap version have underglow as well?yes it will
Just a quick update. We have send the design to wei and he is going to make the final sample. The pcb has been finalised. The packaging is fully planned out (not done yet though). The sample is going to take a while to make unfortunately, as Chinese New Year is coming up and the factories close early. Hopefully wei can finish it before then, but if not we will just have to wait.New purple is cooler imo. Polycarb would be dope
I have 2 questions. Do you want a full polycarbonate/acrylic version. And also which purple colour do you like more (shown in previous post).
Thanks, Dion.
Is there an estimated price or price range?$250 USD for the standard case with PCB. It’s all in the original post. But there have been some minor changes in the finer details
my vote is for new purple as well. what other colors are being offered?E-white, black, gray, silver, New/old Purple (not decided yet), and possibly polycarb/acrylic
So the top part of the case is aluminum, and then the bottom is frosted acrylic? Is that to allow RGB to shine through?No worries. That is exactly how it is.
Never seen a melody case before, so apologies for being such a novice.

Any update on the GB?As i said in previously, due to Chinese New Year and the fact that the factories are close at this time, we are not able to finish the sample until the factories open again.
I couldn’t tell from the pictures provided so far and the OP, but what is the mounting style? Tray? Or something nicer?It's top mount, but the previous renders dont show it.
Is the switch LEDs SMD's on the PCB or "through the hole"/RGB LED's? Also wondering if they are "Per Key Lighting"?
will there be an option for an alu bottom or is it only acrylic?Acrylic bottom, with a founders edition full brass bottom (very limited quantities)
Is a full polycarbonate/acrylic case happening for this? Would love oneMost likely
Following. Would love to see pink/rose gold options for the case!We have already decided on the colours and unfortunately, there will be no pink. There will be E white, black, gray silver, and a dark purple
Looking to see new renders. Following.The case and PCB had finished being made few days ago, and now we are waiting for Wei (KBDfans) to receive it so we can get some photos.
Glad to hear everything still progressing! I've been checking daily for info on this board.I'm genuinely sorry about the wait, I've also been eagerly waiting for the sample too. But I'm afraid the delay is out of mine and KBDfans' hands, due to the current situation with the coronavirus.
I am also interested!
Will there be a hotswap version for ISO layout?
Looking good, how much is the weight of the board? I am assuming the brass bottom adds a considerable amount of heft.About the brass bottom, its going to be in very limited quantities (only a few of them). And it adds about 4kg to the case

Brass bottom case is going to be around $100 USD extra. I am not 100% sure as it is going to be very very limited, so it might cost more than that.

Something i forgot to add was that hot-swap with underglow is not possible for us. But ISO and underglow is possible (non-hotswap PCB), but there will be no per-key RGB SMD's however, you would have the ability to add your own 2 pin LED's

So to confirm, hot swap is no underglow, but is per-key RGB?
Non-hot swap is underglow, but no per-key RGB, but you can add it yourself?
Does this apply to ANSI as well? Or only ISO?
Hi !
I'm considering my first DIY keyboard and and i'm very interested in the melody65 but I'm a fully noob. I would like an iso french layout, is it possible with this kit ? I saw in this thread that the hotswappable option is not possible for an iso layout, does it means i have to solder the switches on it ? Also about the led's mounting (on switches and underglow) if someone could explain me how to it or indicate a thread that explain it for a very similar product it could be great.
With experience of the first melody productions, how much time between order and delivery should I expect ?
Thanks :)

1. Yes you will have to solder the switches in if you want to have an ISO layout.
2. If your talking about the 2 pin LED's i was talking about earlier, You can find them here (https://kono.store/products/1-8mm-keyboard-leds-100-pack (https://kono.store/products/1-8mm-keyboard-leds-100-pack)), and if you want to know how to do it, i'd recommend you watch this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQj9y16OmlE (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQj9y16OmlE)) by TaeKeyboards.
I will get back to you soon with answers about your layout and expected delivery.

Din't mind about the layout, I will go with ANSI, way easier to catch keycaps for this layout and I really want the hotswap' feature.
Hi ! Me again :)
I did'nt found any render/sample with the colors available for the kit, am I missing something ? Sorry if it's a dumb question :)
Thansk for your answer. I have an other one, is it possible to add underglow to the hotswap (ainsi layout) following this guide : https://gist.github.com/tusing/b9e58480d67a9f3e5932ba27096643c6
This is the last "noobish" question I have i promise.
Any ideas on when kbd will announce details? Can’t find much on their discord and nothing on the website. Really want one of the fe full brass bottoms.
I'm happy to see 65 percent version of this great design. I'm not sure if it has been asked already - will the PCB have ESD protection?
Sent from my ONEPLUS A6013 using Tapatalk
any idea about how many are up for grabs?
Loving this! Definitely jumping on board after enjoying my 96 so much.
Just a quick question, the brass housing for the case isn't the same shape as the acrylic bottom?
I really did enjoy the multiple layers from the 96, and i'm glad to see it in the acrylic version of the 65! Sadly i'd definitely prefer a full aluminum housing with the same characteristics.

Any updates by any chance? ;D
Also, will there be extra PCBs available when it goes up?
Will it have VIA firmware support as well?
This is off topic but will there be any per key RGB update to Melody96 boards soon?
Oooof, my wallet. Is this case also by YMDK like the Melody96? Or is it a separate project jkaos92 is involved in? Just curious.

Sorry for the late reply, but at the moment the PCB does not support VIA firmware. There is still a chance we can add it for the final PCB though.
And I'm not sure about the update to the Melody96. Jkao would have to answer that one
Do you have any straight bird's eye view photos? Also is this unlimited or limited GB?There will be photos soon, but we've had some issues with processing the brass that have delayed the photos.
Is the brass bottom still going to be in limited quantities? If so, how many will be available?Yes its going to be limited to about 10-20. We haven't exactly decided yet
Any updates?
How many units for each color? (not brass)Around 20 per colour
Is there an expected date for gb?Not really. But id like to say that it should be up in the next 3 months (we are still sorting out some things).

Adding VIA support to existing AVR-based boards is quite straightforward. I'll be contributing VIA support for Melody96 soon.
As for the new PCB, you don't need to do anything special other than support QMK if it's AVR-based.

Regarding the Brass-bottom (FE) is still being defined, so we are still not sure about the final coating, just the design is confirmed of it.
There will be also an alu versions and maybe MAYBE maybe a PC version (still thinking about it)
Bump (Update at the bottom of original post)woah mr taeha types is building the melody65 and via support too. very nice
Update on;
1. More issues
2. PCB Updates
3. An exciting announcement
4. RGB Photos
any updates?The new samples are still being made, and we are also planning on making new packaging. But the reason for the delay is because Wei (KBDfans) is very busy at the moment.
Exciting. Loooking forward for the gb.. by any chance is it possible to increase the number lol 100 will sell out in under seconds. May be even remove the last s and make it a second.Yeah, 100 is definitely too low, but we don't want to produce too many. We will definitely increase it to a more reasonable number though.
And if you were to take a rough random aim at the gb month, what would it be? Also, I am scared because kbdfans always has 2k+ people waiting on keyboards those are in IC. This will be gone in under microseconds.Exciting. Loooking forward for the gb.. by any chance is it possible to increase the number lol 100 will sell out in under seconds.

We need to talk to Wei about this but he isn't answering right now (probably busy), but we think it will be in the 200-500 range.
We got any updates here?
Ooh, Taeha build stream let's goDo we know when it will be on Taeha? I looked today and it is not there, but maybe I mis-read this.
We will be sending it to Taeha soon, we just need to verify that everything is perfect. After we send the sample, we would need to figure out when Taeha would be free to stream the build and as soon as we know the date, I will notify everyone.Ooh, Taeha build stream let's goDo we know when it will be on Taeha?

alright so gb will be after taeha's stream right? do we have an estimated gb time?Yes the group buy will be a little after taehas stream.
Hi I am fully aware that underglow is only possible for solder version but just wondering whether or not if it would be possible to solder hotswap sockets by myself and turn it into a hotswap pcb but with RGB?you could probably use millmax sockets

Just realised that this was a thing. Was considering M96, but this... this is so much better. In ISO, it's close to being perfect, by 'perfect' meaning that it would be available in rose gold as well. :) But definitely taking it in any colour.no rose gold but still nice
So, don't know if I read this wrong;no the brass bottom will cost muuuuuch more. and yes only soldered will have underglow
But only the soldered version will be able to have the underglow?
If so, will the hot-swap version w/bras bottom cost approximately the same?
Anyways, looks great and hopefully I'll get my hands on it!
I'm a little bit worried since it's been a month since you've said this and nothing has happened. any updates on when taeha will stream or anything? thank youalright so gb will be after taeha's stream right? do we have an estimated gb time?Yes the group buy will be a little after taehas stream.
As for the estimated date, I don't really want to promise anything, since as you've already seen, many things can pop up to delay it. And since we also don't know when Taeha will receive it due to COVID-19 affecting delivery times.
Just keep an eye out for any updates. I will update everyone as soon as I have accurate dates.

what happened i thought stream was gonna be the 25th ok this is fine. so gb should be this month or early november. also how's it going with getting more casesOhh, did I say 25th? I meant 7th, sorry about the confusion :)
Just updated the postagain how's it going with getting more for gb? and also will we get foam and if not what foam can we get?
Please read, as there are some new details.
Some specifics are still not decided - The exact GB date, the sixth colour, the exact price, and whether we will do a full polycarb or full acrylic version.
I hope you guys enjoyed the stream! If you missed out, you can still watch it here -> https://www.twitch.tv/videos/763498687
Or wait until the stream is posted to his channel
We Will be looking into decreasing the height of the case, after receiving Taeha's feedback.
Whenever there are new updates, I will update everyone on this thread.
If you have anymore feedback, I would love to hear it!
Thanks!
Just updated the postagain how's it going with getting more for gb? and also will we get foam and if not what foam can we get?
Please read, as there are some new details.
Some specifics are still not decided - The exact GB date, the sixth colour, the exact price, and whether we will do a full polycarb or full acrylic version.
I hope you guys enjoyed the stream! If you missed out, you can still watch it here -> https://www.twitch.tv/videos/763498687

We are going to get more for the GB, probably around 300 pieces in total for the standard kit (no limits for individual colours).
As for the foam, I'm 95% sure we will include the foam in all kits, but we may not be able to for the ISO/universal plate.
These are the details we will be finalising before the GB goes public, so I will update everyone when we have all the details.

I am so ready to buy this.No there arent any O-rings on this board.
Will it have some kind of o-ring between the top and bottom pieces?
No there arent any O-rings on this board.
And there arent any between the plate either, so it will be a firm typing experience if you choose the brass plate.
Hope that helps :)

Gotcha.
Will the plates be available in different colors? Also, the brass will be brushed and not polished like in the main picture, right?
Please include a 6th color to match the GMK laser R2. Magenta or some sort of blue. No one has released a board to match these caps, first one that does gets my money.

Yes! Hot pink to go with LASER. Seconded!

nice less decisions for me to make :thumb:Another render by Raz :Dnon-frosted bottom hmmmmmmmShow Image(https://i.redd.it/f6991nvjd3u51.jpg)
It's just the render.
The actual board will be frosted like any other KBDfans board
Bruh, I'm kinda glad this took so much time. Because I just found about it!!!! AND IT LOOKS LIT!! :cool:polycarb is more expensive and sounds better. i heard it doesn't diffuse rgb as good but idrk. also the pcb won't support both so you'll have to pick soldered with underglow or hot swap with per key
Pun intended because I'd love a full polycarb case for that light to shine! More RGB more fps, everyone knows that.
Two questions of a newbie. Whats the difference between polycarb and acrylic? And with the underglow pcb can you still have per key led?
Definetly looking forward to this and to know the price of the options.

It says "Acrylic/Aluminium Bottom Piece", as far as I understand it, you can get it as fully aluminum, no acryl/PC? And have we heard anything new about the height?
Love the look of the product, great job!
Can you already tell by how much lower the case will be (i.e. actual mm)? Love the board - I'll go with the blue color!
So, I have a potentially stupid question to ask here: If I pre-order this kit, when should we expect these to be shipped? Like within a couple weeks? Or is this wayyyyyyyyy later next year like I've seen with other neat keyboard kits?
Has the actual revised height of the front end been given yet? I know it's 2-3mm lower now but I can't find the original dimensions so I don't know what that equates to.

probably dumb question, but will the hotswap version plate work for the standard ANSI layout with universal PCB?
Is the universal pcb the standard kbd67 pcb or the one with the flex cuts?
For anyone wondering I couldn't add the foam and the keyboard at the same time. If I picked the board and the foam the only thing in the cart was the foam, had to go back and actually add the keyboard again with no foam.
I tried to add the Navy Top, PC bottom, Universal Soldered + Brass, plate foam. When I did Add to Cart the only thing there was the foam. I went back and added the board with no foam and the cart was then correct with the board and then a separate listing for the foam. I tried like 3 times that’s the only way I could get the board and foam in there.For anyone wondering I couldn't add the foam and the keyboard at the same time.

May i ask what you added (the specific options)? tested and i don't have this bug

It was the plate foam. I also was in right at 10 so not sure if that had anything to do with it. At any rate I paid around 290 and it has the keyboard and the foam listed in my order so I’m goodI tried to add the Navy Top, PC bottom, Universal Soldered + Brass, plate foam.

that's weird, i'm testing the same and it isn't happening, which foam exactly?
(thanks anyway for the help)
Any chance for an "official" wrist rest? KBDFans has done that for a few other releases previously.
Please make more FEs I wanted that brass bottom so bad
is there a rendering or picture for the dark grey? Also, is the silver polished, brushed, matte, or does it just have speckles in the paint?
I am stuck between these 2 colors.... thanks! ;D

No worries dude, glad that the group buy even happened in the first place. Felt like it wasn't going to happen for a while there lol. Congrats on the succesful group buy.
Sorry man, we had to limit this a lot. I'm sorry that someone who followed the IC for the whole time didn't got it, but there are many people asking this.

Any chance of a FE style alu bottom? I prefer the flush look, but I grabbed a full polycarb if not. Seems like the type of board that would be interesting as polycarb.
