1.) INTRODUCTION

About Kibou.
Kibou, 希望, is the Japanese noun for hope. It is a reflection of who we are: a bunch of hopefuls who believe that our passion for a better typing experience will allow us to make great products.

Why “Harbour”?
The keyboard’s name is a homage to Hong Kong - the place we grew up in. Historically, Hong Kong has long been an entrepτt between east and west - a place of trade, and, more importantly, a place where people of a common interest can gather. We hope Kibou will not only be the premier vendor for all things keyboard, but a community too.

4.) DESIGN
Approach.
Our design approach is straightforward: simple design and quality materials. We wanted to design a keyboard that we would want to use ourselves. From the mounting style to the typing angle, the keyboard is designed to deliver the best user experience possible.

Inspiration.
Hong Kong is home to more skyscrapers than any other city in the world. Our skyline is dotted with iconic buildings that helped author the aesthetic style of our keyboard. In particular, the textured layout on the sides was inspired by the BOC building. The numerous skyscrapers facing Victoria Harbour are characterised with smooth window surfaces supported by curtain walls and steel frames. Drawing inspiration from these visual elements, we decided to create a keyboard with a seamless design accompanied by a stainless steel weight.







We also drew ideas from the community. The visual appeal of Gok’s 7V design (the weight in particular) was a concept we wanted to explore and build from.

Mounting Method & Materials.
Using both community feedback and anecdotal experience, we believe that the softer typing feel that the 2mm Poron foam as a Gasket provides is more comfortable.

Assembly.
Aside from the seamless design, we also designed Harbour with the intention of making your assembly process as user-friendly as possible. This includes self-aligning slots between the top and botton case.



Packaging.
Will be revealed in the future.

Forth Colour option poll is now up! https://forms.gle/99ASJrS4qD7P9qvo6

Thanks for all the submissions, new colour confirmed, will be Blue Grey.

A: Unfortunately, these are not included in the DIY kit.

Q: Will the plate files be released?
A: Yes, we will open source our plate files.

Q: When will the keyboards be shipped after the group buy?
A: Estimated arrival of around 7 to 10 months (Yet to be confirmed).

[JKKEEBS]

Love the weight!

[kibou store]

Thank you!

[o3okevin]

Cool design!

[Fredington]

Yes.

[Khaine]

I really like the sides of the board, imo it's a really unique characteristic for the board as well as how the weight flows with it too! the universal plate for the ISO is a cool idea, GLWIC!!!

[shuijiao]

super nice board! i like it a lot

[shay350]

im loving the back

[bthezebra]

Super Clean Super Sixty Five

[raykcy]

OMG the design is very unique as well as the background story!!! Love the board will definitely get one!

[AshF]

Looks amazing. Ashame about the lack of ISO plate otherwise this would have been an instabuy. GLWIC

[lbassett21]

Inspired from the Kira80 by ThesisCamper I see! Sucker for those sides. Good luck with your IC!

[MiSo]

The design is unique, but maintains a minimalistic feel. Really looking forward to the group buy! Will definitely be participating

[WilsonWan]

Look forward to getting one, good stuf

[ShiroMoria]

Hmm, i see some inspiration form the AKI-S as well  )

[treeleaf64]

I went to Hong Kong and it was nice and I think you have done a decent job with the keyboard.

[MIGHTY CHICKEN]

Intersting sides

[10peaches]

Good work guys. I can see where you draw your inspiration from. Very well structured IC. Looking forward to see the first proto.

Thank you all for your support! We will look into different colour options, and we are on track to receive our first prototype by early April.

Looks amazing. Ashame about the lack of ISO plate otherwise this would have been an instabuy. GLWIC

We understand that not having an ISO plate option may be a deal breaker for some, but we strongly believe that a fixed layout will be able to provide better sound. However, the PCB supports ISO layout and the plate files will be open sourced. If there is enough demand for ISO, we may consider adding it as an option.

[Hawksmoor]

could i request consideration of a non-metallic plate material if not already please?
E.g. Poly

[technical_cofounder]

Very cool design. Well done, team! And I love Hong Kong and miss the place so much, I’m in.

[Chippy]

Interesting take on this theme, I appreciate the colorways you're doing.

[Livid]

could i request consideration of a non-metallic plate material if not already please?
E.g. Poly

it says PC will be a plate option!

also i'm really liking this so far, especially the silver 

[keystream]

Wow, I love the design of this board. Super clean, great job!!

Thanks for the responses guys! Yes a PC plate option will be included, we will also try out other plate options and test them once our prototype arrives!

[kiwoli]

In this for the design on the weight alone.

[Lysol_]

nutty sides. me likey

[deedz]

WKL 65%?! Say no more

[despairsray]

This looks really clean. That Lavender render though, god damn.

[hdbui120]

Sick!

[soloplayer]

do you have exploded view?
also could you offer CF full or half plate?
i'm very interested 

[kibou store]

i'm very interested 

Exploded view will be released soon! And yes we will be offering half plates, we will be testing out different plate options when we receive our prototype, stay tuned for updates!

[sexton]

Love the clean look, especially the black. Any thoughts to more colours? Think a dark blue would really look nice

[jmepstein]

Looks absolutely incredible -- loving the WKL silver in particular. Looking forward to the GB!

Do you have any measurements of the front height?

[dllm]

So... being an US immigrant from HK who misses HK very much, I just feel that if I don't get this board I'm actually going to have to dllm...

[alspdx]

Such a nice design, love that side profile! Would definitely buy if it were 60%.

[kibou store]

We will look to add 1 or 2 more color options if there are enough demand for other color ways

Looks absolutely incredible -- loving the WKL silver in particular. Looking forward to the GB!

Do you have any measurements of the front height?

The front height measures at around 18.5mm without feet installed.

[gautema]

Looks fantastic! With a regular WK tsangan bottom row as an option it would be absolute endgame, but I'm going for it anyway

Edit: just saw that WK was an option! I'm so in!

mb. i did look for it and just missed it. i'm blind

[Jinho]

looking forward to trying a proto

[the_ream]

This and the frusta fundamental, HK keyboard scene is killing it

[oTEMPE5To]

I love this, the sides remind me of the stealth pattern of my Spyderco Chaparral 2, as well as being low profile enough to not be in your face. Its very clean  Good luck with IC!

[kibou store]

looking forward to trying a proto

No worries, I will take care of the diu lo mo part <3

[Senbeii]

Oh my... that side profile... its quite sexy 

[raykcy]

looking forward to more plate options!!

[jmepstein]

looking forward to more plate options!!

Agreed - an FR4 and half-FR4 option would be next level

[Alejo1707]

How are things going in HK? I understand the ex-colony was going through some rough times, and I am not yet comfortable doing business with the island until everything settles.

[Convergence]

Absolutely adore WKL 65% boards and this is no exception, sadly the omission of an ISO plate is a dealbreaker for me personally. Good luck with the IC and GB!

[heyimpanda]

always good to see more symmetrical WKL 65s

[raykcy]

How are things going in HK? I understand the ex-colony was going through some rough times, and I am not yet comfortable doing business with the island until everything settles.

Right now it is only COVID-19 that is affecting the city. Otherwise, we are still the same free port!

[Surefoot]

I <3 HK, and this case profile is really cool. Would be fantastic if you could have a fixed ISO plate file so it saves time for us when we'll order our custom plates for it

[kibou store]

I <3 HK, and this case profile is really cool. Would be fantastic if you could have a fixed ISO plate file so it saves time for us when we'll order our custom plates for it

yes we are considering an universal plate as an addon!

[zoo]

finally a 65% to match the Kira80

[driftingbunnies]

Looks great! GLWIC!

[soloplayer]

do you have a ballpark price for this lovely board?
also i suggest that you could try leaf spring gasket, and add more flex cut, for good typing feel

[Surefoot]

I <3 HK, and this case profile is really cool. Would be fantastic if you could have a fixed ISO plate file so it saves time for us when we'll order our custom plates for it

yes we are considering an universal plate as an addon!

I mean if you consider plate files, instead of universal you can do fixed layout, it's the same price

We are aiming to price this board below 400usd - pricing yet to be confirmed. Regarding the flex cuts, leaf springs and iso plate files, we are defo looking into adding these as they have been highly requested. We will probably release some more polls in the future - keep an eye out!

imho below 400$ is too cheap !? with pandemic still around, i dont know whether you can achieve a good quality product with that price ...
polished ss weight cost so much, so many SKUS
~500$ is still affordable for everyone, i think. at least for me lol
i just want a very good product, worth the price 

[InvXXVII]

RESERVED

As a HK native, am very excited to see this project come to fruition.

[Casserole]

this is looking nice

[yoboard]

I love that side profile.

[R4YN3]

I really hope that we get to choose what color weight we get. Or at least let us buy an additional one haha. This keeb is an instacop for me and I hope to be able to get one!! Love the design!

[ywcsam]

Love the design, love the idea behind the keyboard. As someone who is from HK, I am very looking forward to owning one. Stainless steel is cool, but I would like to have the option of having a brass weight, just because brass looks like gold, and gold goes well with the idea of HK being the international finance center

Thanks for the support lads! We will definitely be trying out different weight options including PVD finishes for our prototypes! More photos will be released later on!

[heyimpanda]

maybe this is a silly question, the post lists a 100 MOQ but no known actual upper limit yet, correct?

[Laur]

Fractal Sides are so hot! GLWGB!

[kibou store]

Yes, we are still uncertain about the limit, but it will 100% be a limited gb

[WilsonWan]

If possible, Rose Gold/Lavender would be nice

[baccaan]

The side profile of this board looks exquisite. Definitely a fan of this board.

[greenteahaven]

damn this looks good. def gonna check it out 

[Abstand]

As a Kira80 owner this board intrigues the hell out of me. I am definitely interested. I see the MOQ is 100. Will there be a maximum number of units for the GB?

[kibou store]

Hello! Yes, the MOQ is 100, and the maximum will be limited. We have a team in Hong Kong, and will be working with a chinese vendor to deliver all the parcels! Will provide more updates on the maximum quantity later on!

[deetits]

Lived in Hong Kong for 5 years, and still have a soft spot for the city in my heart.

Will definitely cop this board, but can you consider a Lilac colourway if possible ?

Hey! Glad you enjoyed Hong Kong! We might actually include an additional colourway and it will be decided by you guys with a poll! Stay tuned for more updates!

[prizeS]

as many 65% as i have, this is still very interesting and definitely will grab one if i get the chance to. good luck with the future sale!

[SourZespri]

Really loving this! However, I would've loved to see more color options, especially something that draws the connection between the design and the inspiration. Maybe something blue to represent HK's harbour and the reflection of the sky from the BOC building?

[Rx003]

The sides looks so good! Good with this!! Hoping for the best! 

[fredprinz21]

Good luck with the IC + GB! Have answered your IC form. Much love from the Philippines!

[kibou store]

As many of you have requested for an extra colour option for Harbour, we are releasing a poll for you guys to vote!
The most popular colourway will be our 4th colour option!

(Note: The colour listed were some of the most popular ones that we received in our IC form)

https://forms.gle/99ASJrS4qD7P9qvo6

[sup3r170va]

I hope the fourth "colour" is PC

[elmo]

Will the board support a standard 6.25u spacebar bottom row?

[kibou store]

Will the board support a standard 6.25u spacebar bottom row?

Unfortunately, the default plate is a fixed 7u bottom row, however, we will release the plate files, and the pcb does support 6.25 u

[afynyth]

Could the feet be changed into strip feet or circle bumpons? Not a huge fan of this style because it looks too much like a picture frame, and is distracting from the rest of the beautiful bottom.

Appreciate the hotswap support!

[elmo]

the best news for today! more reason to grab a Harbour for me 
if there is brass leaf spring available, then you can have my heart and my wallet now

[mase310]

The design looks sophisticated and artistic. I like it.  Oddly, I could not find info on what the case material is.  I probably missed it somewhere.  Is this aluminum or opaque polycarb?

[bert039]

I didn't see it stated either but I'm sure it has to be aluminum

The case material is indeed going to be aluminium. Thanks for pointing this out, we've updated the post to mention the case material.

Hey, we currently do have a team in Hong Kong, and we are working with a vendor in China in help to increase the number of units that we will be able to process, hopefully everyone interested will be able to get their hands on one!

[Alvin12356lol]

very nice sides!

[EdgeOfInfinity]

i just keep coming back

[ohwe]

This board definitely has my attention. Something about it, the side profile I guess, hits just right. I'm in, you got me, definitely WKL. Such a clean look.

[galdrom]

I'm super interested in this board, will it support split backspace?

[kibou store]

[Bonsa]

Damn Chung, this looks amazing.
I really hope it helps with making a name for Kibou store! good luck with this IC, I'm very sure this GB will be a huge success.

Hello from HK!

I'm new to this still. If the plate isn't ISO, does that mean it's ANSI?

Hey Yes you are right, our default plate is ANSI

side profile is really nice and lavender is cool

[kibou store]

Hey all!

Sorry for the lack of recent updates. We have decided to order a final prototype to confirm all of our changes.

Changes include:

Front height: 18.5 -> 17
Changes in mounting points
Redesigned internals

We are targeting to get all the in stocks ready before Christmas.

Thanks for all the support

[_rubik]

Excited to see the final revision; that back weight engraving looks great!

One question: I see some striation or striping on the weight's rear-facing slant (probably left by the machining process). Will that be present in the final build, or will that be polished out?

Definitely keeping an eye on this. My only question is are you guys going to take the 5,000HKD Digital Voucher. I would love to use it on this if possible.  This is assuming that the quarantine requirements are reasonable.

One question: I see some striation or striping on the weight's rear-facing slant (probably left by the machining process). Will that be present in the final build, or will that be polished out?

Sorry for the late reply D:. The problem has been fixed on our 2nd prototype!

No worries at all, and that's great to hear! I must have missed that

Definitely keeping an eye on this. My only question is are you guys going to take the 5,000HKD Digital Voucher. I would love to use it on this if possible.  This is assuming that the quarantine requirements are reasonable.

Thanks so much for the interest  <3
Unfortunately, the digital voucher doesn't work with the shopify system.
