Thaaat's pretty totaly in for it.
I dig this, nice work!
This is peak 75% layout imo
Looks niiiice excited to see a proto
Nice Bauer bottom row... but no credit seems ummm... something
Sexy. Colors?
IC Filled. Fingers crossed for Dark Navy.
Question: What are the things that would drive down the cost of production for this board? MOQ? One layout for all?
Thanks!
Really like this design and the renders are well done :thumb:
looks like the Bauer and the Polaris had a baby that grew to be bigger than the two of them! That's not a bad thing, either. Nice looking board.
This is exactly the 75% layout I have always been looking for. It has all of the right design elements: separated, symmetrical, blocked F row as well as the nicely symmetrical blocked bottom row. Yes please. I hope someone picks this up and makes this a reality. Looking forward to seeing more progress on this. Nice work and good luck!
Totally interested
Interested for sure. Nice 75%

F...... I'm soooo in.
bro this keeb's a thickie lemme get sum
interested.
Love the TGR-style bottom.
Isolation mount is so hot right now. Really liking this! Nice work
I really like this design and am certainly interested. That said - and I know this isn't on the table - but I'd be a definite yes if this had separated arrow keys and right hand column.
Looking good! I think this is going to be really popular with the people who don't like branding on their keyboards. Although some kind of engraving or design of dawn or something on the back might make this board stand out against other 75%s.
This looks great. A bit simple, but I do enjoy the back view.+1
Probably a long shot, but: Any chance of split spacebars? Maybe 2.25 + 1.25 + 2.75 (6.25) so that they'd fit inside the Winkey spacebar and you don't have to change any mod keys. You wouldn't even need to change the plate.

very sweet board. that first GMK render is a face melter. hope it comes to fruition.
Nice and clean, consider me interested!
Holy moly. Definitely in for this one :thumb:
Super interested to join..

My initial thoughts are:
1. A render with GMK Olive would be sweet. I think it would look good on the silver.
2. I also wish a polycarbonate option was available.
3. Regardless of 1 and 2, I'm going to try to get in on this. This is nice.
Wow, I am extremely interested in this keyboard...I don't have a 75% yet so this would be a pretty cool addition to my collection. Would there be any color options for the case?
I'm also extremely interested in that Keycap render in the first pic haha. You can probably make novelties that references the source material if anything.

Looking like a clean and simple keyboard! I'm in if price is reasonable. :thumb:
Wow - very nice - i think there is no chance for a hotswap pcb ?
Hope pricing is known alongside 7V - definatelly want a 75 keyb - but now its hard to decide which one ;)
Hopefully the price sits in my confort zone after shipping :P I really like the WK version!
ISO plates are unlikely; however, this will also depend on the vendor and MOQs. Regardless, once the group buy is complete, the plates will be open sourced and an ISO plate file can be provided.
This looks really great. I love the minimalist design, and the layout is perfect. Pending my personal finances and the cost of this board, I would definitely get one!
Can someone tell me more about the differences between a tray mount and an isolation mount? I understand the mechanics of the mounting itself, I'm more interested in what it feels like to actually type on.
I've read a little bit about gasket mounted boards, but I don't know what to expect in terms of the feel of the board other than a generally "softer" feel compared to the "hard points" of a tray mount. I'd likely be using tactile switches (Zealios/Zilents), if that makes a difference. Thanks!
Looking good, i'd get one with an ISO plate.
This is the nicest looking in the recent string of 75% IC's, definitely interested. Hope you manage to keep the price down in the lower end of the range. :)ISO plates are unlikely; however, this will also depend on the vendor and MOQs. Regardless, once the group buy is complete, the plates will be open sourced and an ISO plate file can be provided.
Does this mean the PCB will definitely support ISO layout, but I might need to get a custom plate cut to build an ISO board?
Looking great! Can't wait to see more! :thumb:
this looks great and I am crossing my fingers hard I get my hands on this. GL!
Very clean! Interested for sure.
For reference, what sized space bar are you rendering with?
The win key blockers are not symmetrical. Nice try though.
Would you consider running it with KBDfans to lower the cost and increase numbers?

This board looks like... a thick SLAB of aluminium with keys on top. I absolutely love how clean this is. It really appeals to my inner minimalist.
Now here's the problem - I'm still waiting on gok101's 7V and that keyboard is an absolute stunner for completely different reasons. Getting both Dawn and 7V will be a financial struggle and if I had to choose one right now, I'd probably go with the 7V (I'm eager to try wilba's leafspring plate and I didn't get a Thermal). So what I'm saying is - if this releases after the 7V and I'll still have some savings I'd definitely try and get the WK version.
Yeah, wanted 7v, but i do feel this.keyboard is better choice. I love WKL.This board looks like... a thick SLAB of aluminium with keys on top. I absolutely love how clean this is. It really appeals to my inner minimalist.

This is legit! Love the symmetry. Will keep a close eye on this, might be time for me to go above 65% :cool:

There seems to be a good amount of 75%'s cropping up recently but this is the first one that really looks appealing IMO. I'm neither a fan of 75% or WKL, but I think you just converted me. Beautifully done sir, you knocked it out the park. Definitely in.

Thanks! To be fair, if you aren't sold on WKL, there will be a WK option available. I should have some renders for that in the next update.

Black for sure, but that dark blue would look pretty dope too.
Filled out the IC form. Now I'm very curious about the companion numpad. Could we get a render?
Friendship with 7v ended. Dawn is my new best friend.
I honestly can't wait for there to be a rose gold case, especially on such a nice layout. This is probably the best-looking 75% board put together so far in my opinion.
- No exterior branding, especially on the top surface (although I'm considering a Founder's Edition of sorts with a special back accent if there is community support)
Dawn (75% Isolation Mount)
although I'm considering a Founder's Edition of sorts with a special back accent if there is community support
I haven't finished the number pad yet, but when I do I will make a render. I put the option in the survey to gauge interest to see if it was worth designing, and there was enough interest that I'm about to start. I know I like it when I have stuff with matching aesthetics.Glad to hear it. :thumb: I would love a matching pair.

What were you thinking of for the Founder's Edition accent?
Dawn (75% Isolation Mount)
although I'm considering a Founder's Edition of sorts with a special back accent if there is community support
Usually, I do not mind inconspicuous logos and possibly extra branding, but seeing how this can get very personal, I think it might be best to do without on the exterior.
I think it'll add to the very clean look. If you are considering it, I think it on the inside weight would be nice- Like SINGA.
Consider how the IC for NR65's (A beautiful board) go out of hand because of the Logo was not everyone's cup of tea and the designer ultimately settled for something that is too similar to another brand, although other options are available or without. But just saying, it's something that could be avoided.
+1 for no logos pls
First I want to state that I will definitely not add any branding on the top surface. I briefly considered a tiny subtle engraved logo on the middle of the back of the top case, but I've since steered away from that idea.
For the Founder's Edition, I was considering two possible options:
- Bottom case out of a different/premium material rather than aluminum - this is a more likely option, unless quotes show that it would be prohibitively expensive
- Small weight design protruding from the bottom of the case, I had something in mind and I'm curious how it would turn out in a render, but unless it turned out really well and the community liked the render, it's not as likely

Probably get it before my xeno...
Is there a discord that we can hop on for updates?
Great 75%! I love the design. I'm all in if the ISO support will be available.
I think overall, this is the cleanest looking board designed this year. I can't get over how nice it looks from every angle. No logo/branding is definitely the way to go here.
It would be a dilemma for me to choose between silver and space gray if those 2 colors end up being produced. In my experience, silver is hard to get right and ends up looking cheap for many aluminum products. But if it's properly done and ends up matching those renders, I think it would be impossibly difficult to pass on it.
There are a few other upcoming boards that I've heavily considered, but now have decided to forgo in favor of this one. Looking forward to it's progress!
Would definitely join a discord for updates. Thanks for taking the time to answer questions! Any thoughts on colors so far? Really hoping for a rose gold board and this looks perfect.
(...)offer ISO plate with limited material choices at a slightly higher price ?I would be perfectly ok with that option. Brass or POM options would be plenty enough. Add files for whoever wants to cut their own plate and that will cover everything.
Saw in the FAQ that split space is out. :( Then this is not for me. Good luck, I think this will do well.I just checked the FAQ again and there’s no mention of “no split spacebars”?

Will there be split space support?
No, there are currently no plans for split space support. The benefit is not as noticeable for a 75% layout, and the PCB design has important components under the space bar which would conflict with split space support.
Where should I go to receive IMMEDIATE update for the release? Me, myself and I along with my 19 other personalities would like to be the first ones to ORDER!!!!

Looks very good. Personally I'm a fan of 75% keyboards and as someone else mentioned this looks like a 75% version of the Polaris. Which is a good thing!
I will most likely join in if there's an ISO version avail.

Nice work. This is my favorite looking 75% yet. Most of the other ones with staggered F keys leave space for some strange looking branding and is such an eyesore. The symmetry of this is very nice. I mentioned in my survey response that for the given price of $400-500 I'd like more customization options and optimized acoustics. Maybe two versions of the case (with and without bottom blockers) would help accommodate more layouts. I know this is a long shot, but split space option would be fantastic, especially if split into symmetrical parts.
any chance for the price for lower than $400/500 ?
However, due to the design choices, brass weight and accent, gasketing strips, and potential PVD brass finishes, it is quite possible that the GB price could end up in the $350-450 price range depending on options.

I've seen you post the same stuff over in the 7V thread: read the first post, it has all the info, including the IC survey and the discord.
Get off your high horse kid. The question only meant to gauge which communication outlet is the best and fastest way to receive information.
<snip>
If you read what I wrote, you would understand the question is asking which source is the best and fastest way to get information. The first post doesn't say discord is the best source. Which is why I asked... and thankfully I got a mature response from the thread starter.
Personally I like a little tasteful branding, so on the topic of the founders edition badge, I’m all for it. Love the board it’s an insta buy for me either way.
I'm in! Need more render of other colors.
So stoked on this board, I plan on getting one! Any updates to share? Also, I filled out the IC form with this, but would it be possible to get a blue-grey color? :o I think it could look pretty sick with the aesthetic of the board!
Heyooooo!
Digging this board, any updates of late?
Very clean looking keyboard :)) , very interested .
How are the updates coming along with this project?
Looks like they aren't ready yet, or working with the tooling with Salvun.
I'd be very interested in PC as a plate material.
New kid on the block itt, hello everyone!
As someone who is looking into more compact designs but retaining high level of functionality, I like it. I also love separation between numbers and F-row, which makes it look way better than those who clump them together IMHO. I also have no use for scrolllock/pause keys (original or otherwise mapped). Basically, it has every thing that I am looking for in my 75%.
Any updates on the US proxy you mentioned? As things are MyKeyboard currently doesn't ship to my country and I'm not really that interested in extra hassle with mail forwarding services because it usually will result in about same shipping price and double the time.
Thanks for your work.
I'm not usually into 75% keyboard but I absolutely love the design of this one!
like the design overall
but
not sure about the usb port with the brass accent. I think it cheapens the keyboard,
imo
you want the accent to shine alone not to be together with a hole for functional use.
thanks for the reply
do you mind telling how is the brass accent mounted?
I see that there is aluminum underneath so I didn't figure out if it is screwed or not
I can try to attach an image at a future point in time showing how it's mounted, but it's screwed in from the bottom of the case.

Added a numpad survey to the main post so I can get an idea on what people would like to see for the matching numpad.Answered - that's an excellent proposal.

I originally said between $350 and $450 in the IC post, considering that's a fairly safe range; but in the IC survey I ended up putting $400 to $500 to be safe and to account for the fact that it might be more expensive than the initial range. I don't have the official numbers yet, so stay tuned, but I would say it should definitely be in the $400 to $500 range. I hope that wasn't confusing :)
Posted unbuilt prototype progress pictures from Salvun!
Exactly this. It just makes it a beauty to look at.Posted unbuilt prototype progress pictures from Salvun!
Looking Great! It’s the symmetry that does it for me.
I'm just going to be echoing other comments, but wow, this is the best 75% layout I've seen. I've been looking for something like this for a while.
I really appreciate the "no visible seam" goal for the sides as well. The whole design looks wonderfully clean, I'm really excited for the GB. As long as there is some kind of room for ISO support, I'm all in! :)
The PCB supports ISO, but there aren't plans to offer the ISO plate in the GB due to low demand. However, I will release plate files after the GB if you want to get a plate made somewhere.
Any update on this?Prototype has been delivered to OP, it had troubles with accent not fitting correctly. As of now, new CAD schematic is being designed to fix the issue. Raffle/GB TBA after second prototype. Detailed info can be found in Discord.

Is there an idea of how limited this board is? Trying to decide between the 7V by Gok and this.
I don't know how much traction the numpad idea is gaining, but I would be in for one. I don't think I can justify the 75% both because of cost and the number of boards I already own, but I can definitely do a numpad. I don't have a separate numpad at this time and would love a high quality one.

It's gained quite a bit of traction I would say. At the very least I expect to eventually post an IC for one. The survey gives me data on what percentage of people who want Dawn want a numpad as well, but an IC will be helpful in gauging interest from people like yourself, who want a numpad but not Dawn.
I will be working more on the numpad design once I'm confident Dawn is ready for production.
I've been lurking/following this for a while now. Don't know why I didn't say something before but this board is gorgeous. This is the board that I am most excited about period.

Thank you for designing this and I really hope everything goes well for you.I doubt that you'll be able to buy two boards. You have to enter and win in the raffle to buy the board.

I wanted to make sure people who originally followed this thread but opted not to join the Discord server, or people that browse GeekHack and haven't seen the board but are potentially interested, would be able to see the information. I will make a GB thread when the details are ready and link to it in this post, or you can join the Discord server for updates as well.More pics, please? :thumb:
I will have to take some more pictures in the next couple of days with better lighting, and I'll see if I can make a build log/typing test video next weekend when I have a chance. For now, the pictures in the main body of the post will have to suffice :)Made a long overdue update on the status of this board, the second prototype is done and I expect to hold a raffle soon, but the details are not finalized.

i forgot colors for the standard dawn run. Just for FE there are the 3colors already announced in discord - white / gray / black for fe - and se ... i forgot, no white
No Navy? Shoot. That navy render is why I subscribed to this thread. Oh well, still a nice looking board!

Salvun is actually in the middle of changing anodizers, so the colors might change just a bit. I'm not sure if Navy will be an option, but I wanted to let you know the final colors will be posted once the sale details are finalized.

Actually, there has been a slight change of plans to offer the FE and standard Dawn concurrently to make more boards available sooner, but I'll post the exact details soon once the pricing and vendors are finalized.colors already announced in discord - white / gray / black for fe - and se ... i forgot, no white
