Welcome to Geekhack!
Thanks for sharing the pictures!
Any chance you a have side view picture?

Btw, I wish it had costar stabilizers.

It could probably use better/real rubber feet, as this keyboard seems kinda "slippery".

Metal is always nice, though.

Well, "bigger" feet actually.
Large feet like Leopold's make me feel safer.

looks like an awesome keyboard, especially with the custom firmware, although i wish you didnt have to do all the soldering yourself

That thing is really nice!

RiGS · « **Reply #6 on:** Fri, 15 April 2011, 06:40:02 »

Could you tell us the price?

dongkun · « **Reply #7 on:** Fri, 15 April 2011, 06:48:36 »

$275 and more(Ps/2 or USB cable,Assembly Labor)

RiGS · « **Reply #8 on:** Fri, 15 April 2011, 06:52:24 »

Does the price include the Cherry corp doubleshots?

It seems there is an option to assemble it yourself.

hopefully one day GH can build one of these

dongkun · « **Reply #11 on:** Fri, 15 April 2011, 07:05:02 »

this is prototype..

final type : $275 price ...keycap and cherry switch include

RiGS · « **Reply #12 on:** Fri, 15 April 2011, 07:09:13 »

How much does this keyboard weight?

mtl · « **Reply #13 on:** Fri, 15 April 2011, 07:14:26 »

Looks great! What are the switches near the space bar for? Does it come with both red and black case tops?

I believe the extra switches around the spacebar switch are stabilizers.

RiGS · « **Reply #15 on:** Fri, 15 April 2011, 07:17:44 »

Those are stabilizers not switches. It's sad that those are the cherry type ones.

dongkun · « **Reply #16 on:** Fri, 15 April 2011, 07:36:44 »

USB and PS/2 combo select switch, case : chose only one.

RiGS · « **Reply #19 on:** Fri, 15 April 2011, 07:58:46 »

I prefer the inclined case design of the TypeNow Solid.

keyboardlover · « **Reply #20 on:** Fri, 15 April 2011, 07:59:52 »

I prefer the <$400 price tag on this one.

RiGS · « **Reply #21 on:** Fri, 15 April 2011, 08:09:43 »

The cheats is 275$+assembly+shipping.
TypeNow Solid is 400$ including shipping directly from the manufacturer.

reaper · « **Reply #22 on:** Fri, 15 April 2011, 08:17:20 »

Like they said over at OCN, welcome to yesteryear. lol =D

Nice keyboard though. I'd buy that in an instant providing it isn't too expensive.

Come on, let me know thanks. But last year was the state of development.
13 / April / 2011 This project was completed within the current stages.

Oh ok. I didn't know. Thanks for letting us know and when can we expect the final product so some of us that are interested can then purchase. Thanks! =)

This is a product of which limited members. About 500 orders have been created all over.

.XL · « **Reply #29 on:** Fri, 15 April 2011, 09:16:43 »

@dongkun - if we start a group buy and order ~50 of these, will the price be cheaper per unit?

Lpb45 · « **Reply #30 on:** Fri, 15 April 2011, 09:40:44 »

I wish this guy was a bit easier to understand, I cant figure out if he is saying it was pre-ordered last year and just now finished or if they are available going forward. I understand that only 500 were produced but I dont understand the rest of what hes saying.

.XL - I doubt we could get that many people to buy one, probly wouldnt even be anywhere near that number.

reaper · « **Reply #31 on:** Fri, 15 April 2011, 09:44:35 »

Judging from his last post below, it's supposed to be very limited and that only 500 will be made and perhaps they're all spoken for which means we're out of luck.

I hope that isn't the case though. Like I said before, I'd buy that in an instant if it isn't $400. lol

This is not a mass produced keyboard. Its designed and assembled by a single group of people. What was being "ordered" were parts which caused the delay in production. The PCB just finished production earlier this month and the keyboard will be released soon now.

The sales for this one were booked in advanced using the groupbuy system on OTD.kr. So, a group buy should not be possible. AQUA had announced that a foreign sale would probably be happening in 2012 or something. These will likely happen through eBay. To my knowledge the board is currently limited to 150 pieces, with another wave of 100 following later.

To answer some more questions from this thread:

1) The keyboard does not come with Cherry Corp keycaps, they were just used on the prototype. You are supposed to use "SoRaWeRe" keycaps with this. (Sora WYSE Replicia)

2) It uses Cherry stabilizers because they are generally the preferred type in the east

RiGS · « **Reply #38 on:** Fri, 15 April 2011, 11:02:41 »

Thanks for the clarification!

It seems Diatec/Plu doesn't belong to the east.

Bah, I always miss out on the really unique stuff! would love to get my hands on one of these.

Buy it directly from their company. That way you can save on the shipping.

It's a better idea than the super heavy, but useless brass plate which supposed to minimize the sound resonance.

Khaotik55 · « **Reply #49 on:** Fri, 15 April 2011, 16:20:33 »

It's always a plus to be able to rip the keyboard out of your PC and beat the living **** out of an intruder leaving only minimal damage to the device(missing keycaps).

This is all under the assumption that you cannot reach your 1911.
