Would be nice if the PCB support a standard bottom row too for a 6.25 spacebar.
any pictures of the plate avail?
I can't do a fully standard bottom row with all 1.25u keys, but I can do 3x1.25u, 1x6.25u, 2x1.5u.
Split space compatibility?
would love to get a better look at the brass weight design but so far so good.
please consider adding these on the PCB:
- QMK support
- ESD Protection
- USB-C connector
IC form submitted.
The renders look early. Would like to see more renders of details like USB port shape and weight design. There’s an opportunity to make a sartorial-themed board here.
I like it. I think this mounting style is generally referred to as "burger mount".
Design looks good. :thumb:
Hope you don't get death threats like that one poor guy for not having more complete renders/details. Would you also consider polycarbonate as a plate material?
If I weren't already in the other 66 GB I'd be interested

Someone made an IC for a board that had rough renders; lack of usb cutout, screws, some design flaws. There were a bunch of new accounts that weren't offering criticism beyond "looks like ****" and insulting the designer. He ended up taking down the IC because of death threats being sent.
Carbon fiber plate?
Nice simple and classy, though the seam looks quite prominent in the top render, not sure about that.
Still, I look forward to seeing more renders as I'm a sucker for that separated arrows and pair of function keys design.
Nice, hope to get a hotswap option
Any chance for an engraving or something on the empty space on the right?
First of all good luck for your first IC.Hey, thanks for the kind words, I really appreciate it! I am glad you like the design. Those plate choices are just for now in the IC, to gauge what people want and I will most likely offer only the 2/3 most popular (same with finishes). I may make the plate file public after the GB is over. Foam most likely will be an option in the GB. As for the aluminium - I am in touch with manufacturers to see what they think is best. Keep in mind that "under $500" is a very early estimate. I think that there is a high chance that it is going to be closer to $400 than 500. I just do not want to underestimate costs and leave a bit of room for things like QC and such.
This is my opinion:
-6061 aluminium is bad espacially at this price point, you should aim at 6063.
-The design is really sleek I love it
-Plate choices is nice but not necessary ( You could decrease the choice and make the plate file public after the fulfilment)
-ISO support is nice
-Foam should be an option
I'd love to see more color options. I have enough grey, silver, black, and blue boards. Perhaps red, purple, yellow, or green option?
Looks nice. Will the pcb have ESD protection?

I honestly can’t tell the difference between the 606X versions and should not be a factor as you will most like not be able to tell either. More expensive aluminum will not equal a better board. I’ve read somewhere 6063 has problems with anodization so yeah. If OP hasn’t shared what quality alu he’ll use you wouldn’t have brought it up. Just my two cents.
I really like how clean this is. So superficial BS. However I really want a hot swap version. Additionally as primarily a Mac user, I need 3 keys left of the spacebar (control, option, command). My muscle memory can't do without all three keys.
Looks nice. Will the pcb have ESD protection?
Can barely see the board in the prototype pictures!

Hi! I really like this, but there a few things I’d want need to really sell me on it. Ok, first off, I need (want, don’t actually need, but want) a 4.5mm to 5.0mm (brass) plate. Second, would be a like a black PCB mask. Not needed at all, but looks quite cool/nice. Don’t mind that one, it’s just a thing I’d like to see! Next would be considering to increase spots. 30 units + extras is very, very limited for a board, especially for over 10,000 views. I’ll say I understand that it’s hard to work on keyboard designing and GB’ing, that you got this, but I don’t understand. Please disregard my 3rd request if it is too much. Last are just a few things about your prototype! What’s the front end/lip height? What’s the weight of your built proto?
Thanks for reading, I’m off to go fill out your form!
Edit: Should have filled out the form first!
Thanks for the fast response, it was good waking up to this. Good to hear that the extra style will be added to the PCB! Anyways, I completely understand not being able to do the thick brass plate, since not everyone would buy it, making the GB, a "harder". I just came up with this idea: Maybe you could add a "Upgrade to thicker brass weight. From what you said, it sounds like the weight is very large, but from the weight, not as thick as I expected. Unless, of course, your prototype doesn't have the brass weight. Lastly, you could add a "Extra PCB/Plate" option.
Thanks for reading!
Is this FC660C compatible?
I saw this board on discord and searched for a few hours to find you. Love this board and, as someone else said, am a sucker for the split arrow key cluster.
My questions were:
1. Can photos/renders of the keyboard with keycaps to be added?
2. Can we expect this to go into the gb phase before the end of this year? I love this board and would love to be a part of it.
3. Even though there is a weight inside the board, do you have any plans to make a logo on the bottom of the board?
I have been scouring this site for almost a year waiting for the perfect board. I think I finally found it. Would love for this to be my first gb. Keep it up!
I want this. so clean
I saw your video of you typing on it and it looked way darker than the image on the front page of the black/slate case. Can we have the option to choose between a slate and black? Or can you tell me if you only plan to have a black or slate?
Thanks!
(would love a slate option)

Hi, I got the proto in black but that will not be an option in the groupbuy. There will however, be a grey option (slate) which is colourmatched to pantone 11c.
What is the price and is it possible to remove the O ring?

Voted for Pink and Lilac. Need something to replace the pink Kkingkkong660 I'm never getting.
lilaaaaaaaaac!
I voted for lilac and suggested silver. Every board should come in silver. It matches caps even better than e-white and it always looks classy :)

Love the design on this! Any chance for alps support on the pcb?
So I'll need a silver one for 6085, and a Navy one for Deep Navy....
will there be an option to buy an extra plate in case we want multiple options? I am torn between an aluminum or brass plate and would be happy to buy an extra if there is an option.
Hi! Would be nice if you have a render of the bottom of the S66. Thanks for making a good looking board!
Good IC. When you say "four mounting points" Do you mean the standard 4/4 or "four corners" style?
I've been following your board for a while now. It's turning out wonderful, and I really hope I'm able to secure one.
I'm assuming that colors have not been finalized? I'm a little sad that black is not an option for the board.
Exciting stuff.
Clean, 65%, ISO - I'm in.
I would love to see the final colors next to each other in the same light if you ever get the chance to do so. Either through photo or render.
Thanks
Can you do alu/brass plate typing test , it doesn't make sense to offer these options in the GB and then have a different typing plate material in your sound test
Can you also show where the plate mounts to top case? I want to see where the 4 mounting points are
This is treeleaf approved
And this would be my have to layout.Would be nice if the PCB support a standard bottom row too for a 6.25 spacebar.I can't do a fully standard bottom row with all 1.25u keys, but I can do 3x1.25u, 1x6.25u, 2x1.5u.
Thanks for the feedback!
