[IC] Venn - 65% keyboard (AVAILABLE INSTOCK @ TYPEPLUS)

[SurfGalaxy]

Looks promising. Any possibility of a top right badge? Loved the one on the 7V.

Where? He would have to change the layout

[nxxinf]

Hotswap PCB?

[ReverbSlush]

Do we know which will come first between this or Type K?

[gok_nz]

Really enjoying the large chamfered edges, along with weight design seen from the back it looks gorgeous.  I second those saying a burgundy color way

Ooo burgundy and green both insta cop

V2 prototype has been ordered in burgundy. I will see how I feel about it after seeing it in person.

I have ideas of how this could be executed but I think I'll be going for no corner blocker.

Will the pcb come with rgb backlighting if not, can it? Also suggesting a dark blue case would be sweet for this

It doesn't come with back lighting. It will come in the same blue that was used for the 7V.

Hotswap PCB?

I believe that there will be hotswap versions of the graphite PCBs.

Do we know which will come first between this or Type K?

They are basically running in parallel and I don't know which one will finish first.


Reminder that there will be a build stream of the green prototype tomorrow on Epsilon keyboards stream. Link and details in the OP.

What plate materials have you been experimenting with? Which one do you think provides the best typing experience with the leaf spring mounting? I personally never own a leaf spring mounted board, so I am a bit curious.

[keystream]

Looks exceptionally good. Would be in if I didn't already have a 65% on order. Really wanted to get in on 7V too, but I will try to get in on Type K 

Who wont be trying to get the type k, it is such an amazing board. GL

Alu, POM and polycarbonate. I will likely go with POM. The idea is to have a really flexible material so that the alphas can be bouncier without going half-plate. The plate has a lot of mounting points which would usually over-stiffen the plate but the leaf-springs offset this. For the revised plate, I went with more but longer leaf-springs to make the typing feel more consistent.

Also, a reminder that the proto build stream is happening tomorrow on Epsilon keyboard's stream.

The rainbow PVD looks amazing, I hope this makes it into GB
Looking forward to the proto stream

[XiXora]

Will there be an ISO plate available too?

[tsara27]

When I look into this board, I fall in love instantly.
I hope venn65 will do unlimited group buy.

[SekaiJutsu]

Great Proto stream, so excited for this board! Hope burgundy turns out great!

Is there a discord to follow more along?

[hottrout]

Very interested if there will be an ISO PCB and plate.  Clean lines and good colours.

Awesome, that's interesting. I will try POM plate, which would be new to me.
BTW, this is a question regarding the pcb: does it support usb-c to usb-c connection? It's a minor feature, but I want to ask for good measure.

[JCraftCables]

Really like the back design and very clean overall!

[thebreadsaver]

it's...beautiful :')

[gok_nz]

This is an option that I really want to offer but I will need to treat it similarly to the 7V PVD weight and only offer it as an extra as opposed to an optional upgrade. It will probably also be really expensive.

I hope venn65 will do unlimited group buy.

It should either be a high cap or unlimited.

Will there be an ISO plate available too?

I need to think about this. With the plate being so flexible, I don't want to have a universal cutout that supports both ansi and ISO on the same plate and I'm not sure if I want to double the number of sku's. At the very least, I would post the plate file so you could get your own made.

There isn't an official discord because I don't want to manage a server but Epsilon keyboards has a channel dedicated to it here.

The PCB supports ISO but not sure if I will offer am ISO plate. I elaborate on it in the reply above.

I'll need to test this with my mobile phone when I get the proto back from Epsilon.

[Xeryn]

Nice to see the rainbow PVD weight added as an extra! Also hoping the burgundy turns out well, +1 interest for the burgundy color.

Will there be any builds/test with a polycarbonate plate? Curious to see hear how the flex consistency is on a sandwich poly plate is.

[CookieFlow]

That back view is truly gorgeous.
Just a bit sad that the best angle is not the one you get to see during use.

Personally a bit torn on the current 2 color offerings, light silver is not my cup of tea.
Olive is a very nice shade, but probably a bit limiting for which keycaps would work well with.

Looking forward to the potential Burgundy, or a more neutral color. I would have really liked to see a dark grey, I believe would look incredible with the rose gold weight (can't go wrong with black, but I don't often see Dark Grey (something like Apple's Space Grey)).
Hoping the Rose Gold PVD stays as it looks fantastic.

(Kinda secretely hoping this GB isn't too soon, as Q1 is very loaded already)

[sup3r170va]

I hope the rose gold PVD back weight is still an option. The update says polished SS but doesn’t say if it’s coated

[afynyth]

Is there a possibility of a black color? Silver doesn't fit with some keysets sometimes, and it would be nice to have a color neutral option. The green on Epsilon's VOD looked very nice though!

[deedz]

I agree! Was a bit bummed to see no mention of the polished rose gold. Hopefully it is still being considered as an offering!

You made my day! Save money now and go for the venn 65 later this year! 

[nettik]

+1 for the rose gold! It's too pretty to not be an option

[soloplayer]

how much do the brass and ss accent cost compared with aluminum accent? brass accent with brass weight would be dope

[Ranger_Trivette]

nice!

[Gnome]

This looks great. I really dig the design, looks super clean. I know you said you didn't want to do an E-white but an e-white with that rainbow weight would look heavenly. As a newcomer i would appreciate a hotswap version so i will be crossing my fingers and wait.

Is there a discord server or something similar to follow the updates?

Hotswap is not offered usually on Gok boards. Learn to sold millmax its very easy.

I don't want to offer too many colours because with there being 3 parts that can be interchanged, SKUs get a bit crazy.

I'll probably just be testing it myself so no streamed builds of this.

I will probably only offer 1 PVD option and I'm leaning towards rainbow at the moment because it is more unique. Plain polished stainless steel has yielded nicer surface finishes in my experience.

Pricing TBD but it's usually quite a bit more expensive for non-plate parts.

Best place to follow updates is actually here. I try to keep the status up to date. If there hasn't been anything new posted, that probably means that I am still waiting for things to arrive.

Thanks for answering. Not sure how others feel, but I think rose gold PVD is a more classic and timeless option than rainbow PVD, notwithstanding that the latter is more “bling”. Exudes more class IMO. hope u reconsider. Thanks.

I dunno, Jane V2 CE pretty classy. Bring on the rainbow! There's enough rose gold elsewhere.

Rainbow is definitely the right choice here

[CookieFlow]

Seems to be pretty polarized.

Personally not a big fan of rainbow, looks a bit out of place on a classy board to me.

Sure we see rose gold on cases, but it's generally more pink color and on aluminum. Rose Gold PVD is totally on another level and looks so classy.
And it matched (surprisingly to me) super well with the olive green color.

[KZzzz]

+1 on the rose gold PVD weight. It must be real nice with a blue case, alongside GMK Pink on Navy.

Rainbow is cool, but considering the design language of this board, it would look out of place in my opinion.

Also, it would be cool to see a black PVD weight. Though, knowing the notoriously difficult process of production and QC for PVD parts, it probably won't happen.  :'^(

On a classy board, I agree. The rose gold PVD definitely seems more fitting when comparing the rainbow to the rose gold from the pictures.

[ChiKaSama]

It looks elegant with rose gold weight, but I am sure that I will purchase the rainbow pvd weight as well. Rainbow maybe a cherry on top. Looking forward to join the group buy.

[light_switch]

What other color cases are you looking to include? I would love to see an E-White option or a milky white option.

[j.cal0187@gmail.]

Maaaaaybe sum purple action? 

[holer]

Great design and the olive green is straight fire!

I'll add my voice to the people requesting a ISO plate too.

[galdrom]

Hoo.... gorgeous

[fropsie]

Please & Thank you

[Que7797]

Looks good, gok.

[bert039]

Looks amazing, especially with the rose gold

[MQLYU]

Love it!!!

[afynyth]

Will there be "Venn" written on the bottom like in the render, or any other sort of branding on the board? The "Venn" inscription in the render looks good.

[iSniper1010]

Wow, this keyboard looks really good!

[JKKEEBS]

GLWIC

[bert039]

Whoa, white and rose gold is breath taking

[Airea]

Would you consider an E-white version of this board? I personally feel like it would look great with the rose gold plate

[DannyDP]

rose gold PVD weight / rama rose gold thermal keycap / green venn. This is the way. Please make this happen, this combo would be absolutely killer.
