[InvidiousIgnoramus]

The hardest part now is choosing what color to get. 

[Peppermint216]

The hardest part now is choosing what color to get. 

Exactly, so many combinations to choose from.

[Peppermint216]

Are the 7 colours fixed or is there the possibility of adding more?

Was hoping to get a silver case with purple stripe/center piece.

[mago]

Yeah was hoping silver would be an option

[midnight2903]

I assume the HHKB layout is not true HHKB but symmetric?

[6FeaT]

I assume the HHKB layout is not true HHKB but symmetric?

R1 used the symmetric layout found on boards like the Duck Viper, etc. So I would assume it's the same.

[6FeaT]

No silver? 

[crtexcnndrm99]

Anyone interested in the 'dark green' as more of a military green (less of a leafy green)?

[amnesia0287]

Anyone interested in the 'dark green' as more of a military green (less of a leafy green)?

No, better this way.

[kmba]

Silver!!!! 

[midnight2903]

Oh boy, should I get this or Chiwi?! 

EDIT: No brass plate?

[InvidiousIgnoramus]

Anyone interested in the 'dark green' as more of a military green (less of a leafy green)?

Like an Olive green? but of course, that woule be perfect!

[zekkin]

Was hoping to get true WKL and MAO white/grey.

[touzi]

I'm really excited for this GB !!

[Vigrith]

Hectic time to put out another HHKB/60% - Chiwi, CA66, M60, M0110, Tokyo60 and surely others I'm forgetting about. Would've liked to have seen this run some time in April or May, this makes decisions a lot harder.

Would it be possible to see a picture (or render) or the Rose Gold MAO? Gonna be between that and the special teal for me.

[midnight2903]

Does the kit include a QMK PCB or is it only BootMapper?

[energyd]

In the "colors collection" link the blue looks too light for me. Will it be the dark navy blue same as the pic with Gmk Nautilus or the one in the "colors collection" pic?

[excluisve]

The blue is light blue, not dark blue actually

I am forgot to figure it.

Dark blue is with gmk natilus

Those are two color ,different .

Dark blue exactly

[regionfree]

going in on this. will get one for laser.

[Darknight00z]

How heavy is the case?

[lunr]

I don't see MAO (white) on the google form unless it's already a confirmed colour?

[excluisve]

I don't see MAO (white) on the google form unless it's already a confirmed colour?

Mao was not anodized so it was confirmed have this color

[excluisve]

How heavy is the case?

Almost 1.5kg with Alu parts

[att1cus]

any chance we will have the option to buy just case/plate/weight?

[BAS1C]

Hey Exclusive,

Is this same design as the first buy? I would like to get more pieces for my E6 I already have

[zekkin]

So we will be able to get white MAO?

Also exclusive is there any chance to get full 1u blockers for small block?

[Puddsy]

if that dark blue stays i might sell stuff for this

[amnesia0287]

Have you considered Dark Grey instead of Black?

[kmba]

I'd say either dark gray or silver instead of black.  Or both instead of black and rose gold or MAO.

[ArchCel]

Looks great Also really interested to know how cross compatible the parts are with the first run

Also any chance for QMK in this run aswell? Even if it is a rerun of the previous QMK pcb's warts and all.

[Acereconkeys]

Ugh so many amazing boards running right now. How to pick..

[Vadurr]

Interested in the dark blue...

[Harms]

EDIT: Still not sure if this supports arrow key layouts like the DZ60.

But the navy blue is amazing

[Puddsy]

oh i'd really like to see silver offered

or apple silver, if you feel like doing that again

i want apple silver with special teal stripe

[afrokobe]

definitely in again for r2

[forumusername]

Please do silver again!

[Vadurr]

When you guys say silver, are you referring to the MAO white? I'd def be in for that as well.

[Puddsy]

no, as in silver anodized

im not a huge fan of MAO

[midnight2903]

The dark green looks amazing. But I can't really think of any keycaps that would fit that aside from maybe Royal Alpha which got cancelled

CCNG was cancelled, Royal Alpha was just delayed because one of the proxies didnt pay or something, unless I'm missing something.

[Peppermint216]

Fyi silver was added to the IC, get revoting

[Vadurr]

Does anyone know how tall this board is in the front?

[amnesia0287]

Does anyone know how tall this board is in the front?

The bumpons it comes with are kinda massive (at least R1), so its up pretty high by default, but the case itself is ~20mm.

Would definitely pick up a silver version. Maybe a dark blue, too...

I think donutcat said that GMK have yet to reply to him, so yea maybe not cancelled per say but probably won't be out for some time.

Not really a fan of cases that are too THICC in the front so hopefully the bumpons are milder now

You don’t need PCb ? But PCb was customized .you may can’t find PCb fit case

I prefered the flush design.

[Peiweisgreat]

Geez, I definitely have to hop back on for round 2. I love this freaking E6 I'm using right now, but I need one that isn't scratched. It just wouldn't be right to not try and get a perfect one. Count me in Exclusive, but give my wallet a little bit of time to rest. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is spongy and bruised.

[kmba]

You can coat brass. And should. Doesn't have to be shiny and uggo

Wrong. Uncoated brass is the only way to go.

The Special Teal + Black combo would be a definite buy for me.  I'm hoping it is one of the chosen colors.

[Tally810]

Looking good exclusive.  I'll be down for one. 

Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

[godlikekitten]

Could someone explain how the "Rows" work when choosing colors?  I only see 3 possible rows for the case the top, middle, and bottom.  As for the plate section do those rows go in order so Row 1 is the color for the plate, row 2 for the name tag, and row 3 for the weight?  Wanna get in on this but not sure what I'm selecting lol

[fatpolomanjr]

I have the exact same questions as godlikekitten: are the Rows our preference from 1st to 5th? Like voting for what 5 colors will be available for the case and what 3 colors for plate/nameplate/weight?

I really dig the red and black hhkb layout though. Only thing I might want is the option for the middle part of the case to be red and the plate to be black. But even then I'm not sure since it already looks so good and is the perfect bloody/murderface case.

Would the "dark blue" and "special teal" case color options work well with GMK Nautilus?

You should try SJ5382. It's the smallest height they make (1.9mm vs 5302 2.2mm) so will minimize impact on wrists

Is that really ceresia? It looks more red than that to me.


Edit: just noticed the mods and wasd are different colors. I really want something with RO2 to match the red honey alphas. But I guess it probably wouldn’t be that bad with ceresia if this is what it looks like.

legends match and afaik there hasn't been another red mod kit run with compat like this

there was a red accent kit run in china, but i don't think it was full modi like this

wasd might be from the chinese set, or from elitekeyboards

ceresia is about as close as you'll get without bending over backwards to get one of the chinese sets aftermarket to check if it's the same color and possibly be disappointed

What's the point of adding a brass weight into the case? Will it make the sound more quiet?

Heavier cases sound deeper. Brass is added for weight and looks.

about keycap on E6-V2 red:
- all alpha (include WASD) come from Cherry G80-3060 keyboard. This keycap was made by GMK for Cherry, a little orange, not trully red. It's same color with elitekeyboards modify keycap, and GMK Red from Hammer.
- mods is Originative Cressia
- spacebar is JTK cocacola keycap set

Can someone explain the difference between a MAO finish vs regular anodizing?

[Puddsy]

Can someone explain the difference between a MAO finish vs regular anodizing?

vs MAO (or PEO) (sorry it's not a nice video, but you can look up videos of the process if you're interested

MAO isn't as durable as anodizing, but it can be done in "white" (unlike anodizing). it's also more expensive to do than regular anodizing. from what i understand, it is more corrosion resistant than anodizing, but flakes off easily

forget that last bit, apparently it's just because most manufacturers don't polish off the layer of crud that builds up, so it makes it seem like it's worse than it is. supposedly it's near diamond hardness

Yup, mao is basically forming a layer of corundum over the aluminum. But the process of mao actually forms 3 layers and the outer one is softer and more prone to damage. The inner layers should be around ~5x-10x harder than any anodizing.

Also, while the only mao ive seen on keyboards has been the white/grey variety, it is possible to do black and grey as well as brown and green. No clue if anyone who runs keyboards could actually pull it off, but the capability does exist.

So does this mean you could take off the outer layer and it would look fine? or is that a bad idea?

In theory if you had sandpaper of the right hardness/grit you could wet sand/polish the outer layers off and leave behind only the harder inner layer as it should be a solid crystalline layer. Maybe final polish with like cerium or something.

MAO SHOULD allow for a smoother finish than anodizing. I imagine the correct way to do it is to bead blast it, but I could be wrong.

demonic is in stock at OCO

True, but with a not-as-dark red, no novelties, and a $180 price tag that used to be $135. I'd rather go with either black pbt blanks or black on dark grey dye subs, which was my original plan until I saw the renders in this IC.

I'm still considering the all black E6-V2 with black plate and middle case, but that kind of defeats the purpose of this keyboard. Unless red becomes available in a future round, in which case I can just swap the middle. Or post up on mechmarket for trades with round 1 E6-V2 owners. :rip:
