Would you consider making the brass weight visible in the future? By that I
mean putting it on the outside instead of putting it on the inside. Thanks

I future designs, exposed weight is definitely a possibility.  :thumb:

Do you plan on doing round 2 just after the first one? It's a shame there's so few spots. The keyboard looks amazing  :thumb:


I do plan to run a R2, in fact so many are going to wait for R2 that I'm not sure if R1 will be filled all that fast...  :D

Haha I might have to wait for R2 as well. Recent GBs drained all my budget for keyboards

Just want to point out that R2 will only happen after all R1 slots are sold and no outstanding order related issues, and I feel the motivation to do so, in case everyone decides to wait for R2...  :-X

Of course R2 is not guaranteed, just planned, with no timeline in mind.


I'm still waiting for Exclusive's E7V1 R2 with name tag that he said might happen after R1...   :-\

I hope the first 18 units sell well so that you are motivated enough to do an R2, then. HHKB/WKL are the frontrunners when it comes to top choice but you already know that, of course, and you seem to have your reasons for wanting to run unblocked only for this round.

The first sample from the order with anodizing was rejected.

The factory made 2 more samples on 2 different CNC machines, and only one met the specified tolerances. I just received that sample yesterday, and looks really good, so the remaining order will start machining soon.

Current ETA for GB is Mid April.

Final Sample.

216244-0

216246-1

The sample will be sent for anodizing locally.


I have given approval for machining all remaining kits.

Stainless Steel Nameplate logo have been finalized.

216248-2

Blank nameplates will be optional extras. No other nameplate options will be offered.

All kits will be serialized after anodizing, hidden under the nameplate.

Actually they're the same Matte Dark Grey case, just with the key assembly swapped around.

The case should be compatible with the non-hotswap version of the DZ60 PCB.

I have finally received the Navy Blue anodizing sample in the shade that I wanted...

217969-1

Samples in Navy Blue and Black will be made. The GB will start once I'm happy with anodizing quality in all 4 color options.

The 18 total slots may include B-Stock at slight discount, pending QC after anodizing.

Looking at the pictures it looks like the blue is a shade of purple. Is that really the case? Or just lightning not being ideal in the photo?

Maybe it's your monitor.  Doesn't look purple at all to me.  Looks close to GMK Striker if I were to guess

Partial cases are in anodizing (In Navy Blue & Black), should receive them by next week.

I want to make sure the final product is up to standard before taking any money, so no timelines yet...

Hi Guys,

Since I have fronted the cost of the order, the Omega60 will no longer be run in a Group Buy format, but instead as an in-stock purchase.

In the pursuit of lowering the cost for each case set as well as better control anodizing color and quality, I have chosen different factories to machine and anodize the cases.

The production batch for the raw machined cases had a 40% rejection rate, and the anodizing again halved the available A-Stock.

A & B-Stock will be offered to Paradox/Reflex participants first, and any remaining will be made available to purchase publicly.

The Anodizing for all A-Stocks will be Hard Anodized Black, whilst B stocks will have an assortment of other anodizing types and colors.

Ordering will start mid-late June.


R2 will likely not run anytime soon as I will again look for a turnkey factory to my quality standard and let the design and pricing determine if the GB will fill the MOQ.

I'm interested in this keyboard but didn't know about it after the paradox/reflex was cancelled. Can we know how many user were on that GB? and are you keeping the 18 unit run for r1?

Hoping i can still have a shot at this board as it is one of my fav this year

There are 22 Paradox / Reflex participants that joined the discord channel, and will get first dibs.

The price will remain per the OP. It would be dumb to raise the price after going through all the effort to bring it down in the first place...

We are looking at up to 6 A-Stock, and around 10-12 total kits for sale.
