Very awesome. I am looking forward to the 2 B design since I sometimes switch off which hand hits B

Is there going to be an option to block the right-side B?

+1 on a option to skip the right-side B.

I think there are enough interested people in both options.

+1

Right side B also eliminates a lot of older keycap sets that do have split spacebar support but no second B.
I do like the separate arrow cluster, the second B not so much.

While some like these changes (including me), is there possibility BNM<>? Rshift can be moved to left to remove another "B" and put Fn key on right of Rshift?

At least the possible buyers against the double B will reconsider  :D

That would completely mess up the placement of the bottom row. 10/10 you wouldn’t be able to type anymore :P

Of course it is just an option. You can choose double B or single B with Fn

you say it is going to have a custom pcb, will it be programmable, if so with which firmware? and also will it be a murica only GB or will there be a way to get them in europe (at a reasonable price i mean)?

Just caught this, but I would be seriously tempted to get in as I've been keeping my eyes open for an Alice-like also.  I'm disappointed about the separated arrow keys, as I prefer them joined, but it's not a deal-breaker.  I'm neutral on the extra 'B'.  If I could make a change, it would be to have a win-key option--at least on the left side, as I find that indispensable.

PCB is QMK compatible. Primatech is from Finland and these will be sold globally.

Currently, the plan is to deliver directly to the buyer.

While we would love to do this, the vast majority voted for another b-key. Having a second top option with a low MOQ would raise the price for everyone.

to leave the option for everyone it may be possible to do it like "cheap" computer cases do and only partially cut it? although it may look bad afterward and usually those cases uses very thing steel so i do not know of the feasibility of such an option here.

Edit: to add background: it would be my 1st alice-like board so i do not know if the double B will be something i will use or not yet, so i do not really care either way if that makes sence

You don't have to have two b keys on those two slots. Change your keymap to have something else on either the left or right one.

I have the function key on the right side b key on all of my Alice keyboards, for example.

A lot of interest if it manages to be under $200!

I love the arrow keys in the new renders (slightly separated), but I managed to say the opposite on the google form - went full dumb on that, sorry.

Wish tons of luck on the GB, count me in.

I am on Discord and I still think that sharing relevant information in the IC thread that already exists here is the minimum I expect from IC/GB runners. In general expecting people to be in dozens of individual IC/GB runner servers and keeping an eye on all of them is extremely unrealistic. Discord is great but it's not the right medium for keeping people informed about interest checks and group buys.

Very nice, looks clean! I would definitely like to join for this!

I particularly like that the Esc key is "close" to the rest of the keys, so it is easy to access in normal typing, so you don't have to reach for it.
Also, nice with the space added for the arrow keys!
I've read that the steel can be hard/noisy, is foam necessary for a good typing sound?

Edit: Happy to see that it's a product of a neighboring country!

If there is room for foam, then yes.

I love the idea of having the arrows keys on the Alice and I am all in, but I am wondering since the bottom is a straight cut, there is a lot of spacing between the bottom row and the edge of the keyboard. I am afraid that it might affect the ergonomic factor and the feel of typing.

Primatech is a registered security company, I'd change that name before you get a cease and desist..
You have no link to a website and you logo also doesn't match the austrian primatech company.

Things like this can really quickly ruin people's trust in ICs and GBs in general and by extension the geekhack forums.

I am not a lawyer, but I think it's okay for name collisions to occur between products / companies / whatever as long as there is no possibility of confusion.  Pretty sure that would be the case here.  Also, people losing trust in GBs and GH because of it??  Don't you think that's going a little overboard?

Exactly what I thought, and what’s wrong with having no websites, if you are looking for that kind of stuff, go buy razer/Corsair. Why bother browsing GH looking at all these community projects lol.
