GB Price Estimation
Due to increasing raw material cost and manufacturing cost (higher defective rate than we expected for full mirror PVD bottom case), Mammoth 75’s GB price can be slightly higher than in-stock price even though we need to wait for GB delivery.
GB Limit Estimation
Since it’s really time-consuming for manufacturing full PVD mirror bottom case, we will set a limit for timely delivery and will announce after the in-stock sale.
GB Options
We will check our IC form for more options and update after in-stock sale.

Hi Everyone,

After IKKI68 OG is delivered in 2020, both our team and our users want to have a 75% board. So we started to design in late 2020. There are so many people who want to make 75% smaller, but we feel like our community deserves something new and special. We finally come to an idea for a heavy, sturdy, and elegant one - Mammoth 75. With this idea in mind, we discuss a lot with our focus team for every designs. From the top case to bottom, from the corner’s shape to the material we want, from the size of the knob to how much mirror PVD treatment we can do. And today, after almost 1 year’s effort, we can finally show you how it is now!

Mammoth 75 Highlights
  • Full Mirror Bottom Case
  • Sandblasted Diamond Cut Mammoth Weight
  • Special Gasket Structure with Daughter board
We make the plate poron foam the same size as the plate, and it will touch the entire bottom case to achieve a stable typing feel. We also use adhesive poron under PCB for a pleasant deeper sound.
  • Two Magnet Knobs
We use a magnet base to make knob even more friendly “hotswap”. The kit comes with 2 knobs for your choice: One Aluminium knurled knob, one brass CD pattern knob.
  • The Case Design
Thicker front bezel for a larger footprint, the gentle sloped case are reminiscent of a mammoth. But we further simplify its sides and back from IKKI68 OG (check how we change the prototypes here (https://imgur.com/a/Kbhz5Le)) and give it a silver decoration to make it look vigorous.

I'm normally a huge 75% fan but this just isn't for me.  There is a conflict between the space saving layout of a 75% and the huge knob, which might make more sense on a 105+ layout.  Also this is closer to a TKL rather than 75%, just based on the size.  Just my $.02.

Also .. that bottom reminds me an awful lot of the 7V.  Not sure if that's good or bad.

Love the big nob, hate the 4key cluster below it. I think it would look a lot better if it was a diamond shape, as opposed to a square. (rotate it)

Love the design. Would definitely be in for the GB if there were color options for the knob. Not a huge fan of brass color.

I'm not a fan of the layout. The knob was clearly the main focus of the design and the four key cluster feels like an afterthought.

The four key cluster matches their Ikki model.

when you think of this as an ikki68 with f row and knob it actually makes a lot more sense, at least to me

I can see they're trying to maintain the same design language but for me the smaller form factor of the ikki; along with the badge and led, meant things felt more cohesive. I think the dead space around the knob and next to the arrow cluster is throwing me off here.

All preference so I hope this goes well for people who are digging the design.
