will this be an unlimited GB or a FCFS sale? Would love to get this board without having anxiety to compete with others. Also, thank you for doing a 75% board, great work!

It will be FCFS, but we will decide on a fair number depending on the amount of interest there is. Thanks!

Yes, most likely through VIA

Quick update... please check the original post, I have put a new google form the PCB.
All responses are greatly appreciated and speed up the process of decision making.

Thanks!

Somehow the rounded edges and the proportions remind me of the Cherry G80-11800 and 11900.

Do you have a render of the internals? What does the plate look like, and where are the mounting points?

sorry, potentially nooby question here - if the pcb doesn't have per key rgb, does that mean that the square won't illuminate a coloured light?

just wondering before I fill in that new pcb form

It will still light up, but you wont be able to control it through VIA (a software with a user interface). However I may be able to work something out if there is enough interest

I think it will be fairly average. Not expensive, but not cheap either. I will have a finalised price soon, so keep an eye out for that

Layout is my preferred layout for 75% but not too big on the smoothed/rounded edges. Probably a pass for me.

hieughost · « **Reply #69 on:** Mon, 19 April 2021, 11:37:16 »

The 3-key right column, separated funtion keys and arrow cluster is the dream layout for me. But the deal breaker is the rounded edges/corners. GLWIC anyway.

PCB is being designed. Case has been sent out for a quote and sample (if its ready).
I don't want to make any promises, but I would like to say ~2 months (but take this with a grain of salt)

Hope you give more slots on the darker colors or especially black case color. I'm so slow at FCFS stuffs lol.
Really excited on this 75%, wanting to upgrade from my kbd75v2. Can't wait

Just a quick update... Ive been studying for exams at the moment, so have not had time to put my 100% into this, however I have had quite a lot of people requesting the discord server back.
So i decided to make another discord server for people who are interested in being notified about all future updates.

See you there!

Why is the only option of picking the 4 colors in this? Out of these 4 colors my favorite is; *(Your Number One Choice)

I don't like any of the 4 colors you're forcing us to pick. And I can't submit without picking?

Its there to see what the last colour option would be... although you may not like any of them, i just want to see what your favourite out of the 4 is so i can see what would be more popular

Like I said I don't like any of them. It'll just skew your results. Can't I also double pick the same color?

New google form for the logo of the weight
If you have been in the discord server you would know that we have been discussing what we should do with the logo, as some people have suggested that it needs to be changed slightly. So I decided to make a quick form to see what would be the best decision/way of going about it.

And just a quick reminder, if you would like to stay up to date/share your opinions, make sure to join the discord server!

The logo has been decided as "Updated Font 1"
You can check the "Renders" section to see how it looks

For now, the main thing we need to be finished is the PCB. Once this is finished I will be able to give you a finalised price prediction, and the GB will progress much quicker.

Thanks!

New update;

1. First sample was made however, unfortunately there was a small mistake in the design. This will be fixed and the next sample will be made ASAP!
2. Taeha Types will be streaming a full build of the Bounce75 once the final sample is finished (Twitch | Youtube | Website)

I have been thinking of making a numpad to go with this case and am trying to see if there are any people interested.
And I will make sure that this doesn't impact the time it takes to finish the Bounce75

Still happening, currently just waiting on the new samples to get done before we finish everything off for the GB

BahaMech · « **Reply #99 on:** Fri, 01 October 2021, 21:28:35 »

Just a quick post to keep you guys up to date with everything that's going on;
1. The samples have been made however the brass weights haven't been finished yet and the Burgundy sample wasn't the correct colour (which is the one Taeha Types will be building)
2. The PCB samples are done
3. The packaging sample is being made
4. The case/PCB foam is being designed/made

So once the brass weights have been finished, and the packaging + foam (should'nt take long at all) are done, the sample will be sent out to Taeha Types for the build stream.
In the meantime I will finish off all the things related to the numpad, and potentially work on the product pages so that once the build stream is finished we can progress with the group buy ASAP!
(I don't want to make any promises, but I would estimate that this will take around a week)

Thank you all for your patience along the way, I know its taken quite a while, but we are very close

(make sure to join the discord if you want frequent updates like these)
