E6.5 - 65% custom keyboard(GB already open )

[taropaste]

So its a top mount with a rubber gasket under it?

How does that compare with rubber gasket on top and bottom?

So is this top mounted, with a gasket underneath? Is the gasket just for sound isolation then?

Hi Exclusive. I think you should consider making this more of a sandwich mount like 356mini instead of top mount in order to take advantage of the gasket more.

Otherwise, the design looks great ! I'm excited for the polycarb version!

Agreed, this is a great point.

I missed the Kyuu, I missed the No.1/65...I swear I'll get this. Haha please

[airlangga07]

will probably join for WKL one!

[yicaoyimu]

I might be interested in a PC version. Looking good!

[excluisve]

About somone said is not truly gasket mount

however,i want say is 100% same as OTD 356 which top pressure to .

i will post more details later due to i am in rural connect not so good

[higgga]

Are custom nametags coming back and are they the same size as e6-v2?

[dantambok]

Yes! In for a polycarb for sure!

[tex_live_utility]

Based on the renders, it looks like the gasket is optional (you can choose to exclude it from the build if you prefer). Is that correct? If so, that adds some nice versatility to this board. It will be interesting to hear typing tests of the prototype with and without the gasket installed.

[excluisve]

Nice project! Some constructive feedback Mostly just my 2 cents.
The side bezels look too thin to me to justify the left blocker, as someone in our slack said it's taller than it's wide which makes it looks weird.

Truth is block wider than it`s tall

[excluisve]

Fantastic work again! I will be in for one or two. I will be grabbing WK with blockers in Silver PVD/e-white/e-black for sure.

A couple of questions if you don't mind:

• To confirm the board is QMK?
  
• Any samples of e-black?
• Any idea on timescales so I can start saving? 

Pcb is QMK and e black sample will get when chinese new year vaction  end ,

[excluisve]

From somone ask why there is have top mount options and also have gasket mount

1st as i said it before is 100% gasket mount

here is my personal explain :


 you can see here we will get a oring put in there between pcb and plate

then this pic 
bottom to the top distance is 8mm.

then bottom also have boss about 3.5mm, however plate is 1.5

so we get space almost 3mm between pcb and plate but we will put 4mm oring to the space

when top and bottom was screwed,it will compress oring from 4mm to 3mm ,oring will push the plate up

2nd,oring is under plate but outside the pcb so will touch the boss when we are type we will get feeback from oring

that is how gasket work .

3rd,somone ask why not two oring (on top and bottom ) because when we screw up ,oring will push plate go up .

during type we push plate down then oring  will give feedback but if have two oring plate will be hang so there is no

feedback due to one push up and one push down

4th，gasket will do not need screw to top .if ppl do not want gasket mount ,use 8 screws m2,5 →it will be top mount as E7

when you want gasket mount just do not need screw up to top

thanks here is my explain ,not good at english hope ppl can understand it . lol

Thanks for the explanation Exclusive! Much appreciated.

[ramblinrose]

Looks like a nice 65% - nametag is a nice touch. Have you figured out a general timeline for when GB would start?

[Puree]

Hey Excluisve

I am wondering if sandblasted finish will be available for the FE ?

Thank you, in the layout picture in the OP it wasn't shown which was why I asked for it. Glad to see it!

[ptiede]

The explanation of how you are acheving gasket mount is great! Makes me even more excited to try this board.

[Vireca]

Do we have an estimated price?

[KaosJ]

Seriously, wtf is this?

Show Image

are you referring to the hhkb blockers? Just something exclusive is experimenting with.

b.b...but that's not even a hkkb blocker

But you get a bottom row configuration that looks hhkb like, with 1U 1.5U 7U 1.5U 1U

[s3vv4]

Do the nametags by any chance fit an E6-V2? I want to have a different color for mine.

I think some people are concerned that the gasket (made with rubber?) may turn softer or age to a less elastic state after some time of use and there will be some fit issues between the plate the the case as time goes by, so having a top mount backup plan isn't too bad.

That said, maybe providing an additional set of gaskets in the kit for potential backup?

[oh_chesteroni]

I like the idea of having an option to purchase an extra set of gasket(s).

[Marutks]

interested in aluminium case

[HAYAN]

65% clear pc case?
I'm in

[bciamny]

awesome design. i wasn't a fan of the e8/e6 design language but this is much more suited to my tastes. i also really dig the weight design. i'm probably in for one (depending on ano colors available) but i would love to see this design (including gasket mount) in a tkl too!

as someone mentioned above, the width of the sides of the top piece seem a bit too narrow in comparison to both the width of the top and bottom of the top piece and the depth of the top piece. a little thicker there improves would improve how it looks to me.

great job with this excluisve.

[Keebmeupscotty]

Been waiting for this for a while now. Can't decide if I love or hate that hhkb-ish layout, but I think I'm leaning toward love. I'd like to see some  more renders of that layout with keycaps if possible. Great design and really excited about being able to get in on this. Fingers crossed I see it soon enough and can find the cash when it makes it to GB.

[smoian]

Very much interested in the polycarb version. Great IC page excluisve, appreciate all the effort put into this.

Yes if you don’t want pvd but still purchase fe it can be sandblasted

We have four kinds of top case it may have one of you need

[jacky]

Glad try to my first gasket mount keyboard !

Interested in  pc case with champagne pvd 

[excluisve]

Some updated:


Factory was in vacation that prototype will be make after two weeks .i will sort IC spreadsheet about colors and layout after ten days

If you are interested in this board vote you favorite colors and layout 

[Regret]

Oh my a half plate option?!

[b3nkei]

Are you going to use a new weight design on this board? I really liked the weight of the e7-v1.

Yea weight gonna change
That weight blongs to E7-V1

Yes! I really like the new weight design ). It's more interesting and different. But does the inside of the logo on the weight have to be blue or can we choose?

[hq]

Do openings at the bottom of the case bring about a difference in sound? e.g. louder?
And thanks for including ISO! cant wait till this gets rolling, insta buy from me if the price is fair.

Will the full brass version be PVD polished like E6 and E7?

[_ODIN_]

I hope that the weight won't be dual colored.

Yes same as E7 PVD finish .

Is there a possibility of making the side bezels slightly thicker? They look a little disproportionally thin compared to the top and bottom bezels

Truth is block wider than it`s tall

Exclusive already spoke about it. We will know more when he gets the prototype in late Feb.

Are you getting a polycarbonate prototype? It would be interesting to see how it looks with the rgb and the diffuser.

I was under the impression that was about the blocker, and not the bezel itself
