Interesting design. I'm not sure if I've missed it but what's the mounting method for the board?
Good catch. Thanks.Interesting design. I'm not sure if I've missed it but what's the mounting method for the board?
Based on the screw hole locations in the plate render, perhaps top mount?
Been following this on your Instagram for a while. Really hype for this. Any chance for some sort of "founders edition" special?

Thumbs up on both salvun and Maarten
wait no support for stepped capslock?
Nice to see a different style case design - done well too. Also logo placement and squiggle underneith work for me - 95% of boards have me sold until I see the godawful logo design.This one did not made me cringe. Congrats.
Will there be ISO support?

The two keyboard parts will be held together magnetically! Thank you!
Also still thinking about this, but I would personally loooove to see it in Burgundy! :3
I need this to match my 1970 Lancia Stratos Zero ; )perfect fit. Will get the board first, car has to wait :PShow Image(https://s3-prod.autoweek.com/s3fs-public/styles/1152x647/public/520009992-1.jpg)

Few points
Firstly, how is the plate connected to the board? This was asked above but all you mentioned were the two case halves connecting together; not how the plate was mounted. This will be integral to people’s understanding of the typing experience of the board.
Also, I’m interested in a few measurements; how high at the front is that edge? It doesn’t look particularly low and may affect some people’s typing style.
You also mention that this is going to improve the typing experience - how? What science has been done behind this to show that it improves the typing experience, and what is the baseline that the improvement will be from?
I’m assuming you will do a prototype prior to production as well; many ICs don’t open without a prototype these days to show that it works in practice as well as design.
You also say running a group buy won’t be an issue as you have experience - can you elaborate on that? The packaging, QC, shipping of 90 boards can be quite intensive and it’s worth considering why many keyboard designs run through vendors rather than just individuals doing it themselves.
That being said I really like the look of this design. I do think it would have been nicer as a 60% as you could have really made it fit that futuristic aggressive feel. I also think offering a polished raw case would really fit the style if that’s something you are interested in.
We actually covered this board on Top Clack earlier this week as well where I went into more detail about my thoughts; but big thumbs up for selecting Maarten and Salvun to work with. Maarten has done some great PCBs in the community (including some work for my boards) and Salvun is exceptional at what he does (and is nice to talk to as well).
I can’t wait to see a prototype of this and then pick one up in the GB, then show it off on Top Clack :)

Thanks for this. This is a beautiful board.

Any chance to include "Wavez Green" kind of blueish green for the color options?I've been looking for a board with a similar color. I'm all for this option if it's possible.
Like the Think6.5 from Graystudio; see https://www.instagram.com/p/B3Ph7HpHLtk/ (https://www.instagram.com/p/B3Ph7HpHLtk/)

From the exploded view on his Instagram it appears to be bottom-mount
From that photo it appears to be bottom mount, but on the edges of the plate, not like a traditional tray mount where the PCB sits on supports. So, technically a sandwich mount, right?
Gonna have to start saving up if there is a chance!

oof! it'll be worth it!

Hey! Awesome, I am planning on making a dedicated document explaining everything in more detail!
Thanks for the feedback, always listening!
So p***** I missed this. Any chance of a second round?
Jebeezus, this could be my lucky day after all.So p***** I missed this. Any chance of a second round?
