Wait, so is it dead or not?
Well, in September, Jae mentioned a few upcoming GBs they have yet to start preparing for. Argyle was one of them. See this https://discord.com/channels/556953560835686431/559678236481814548/882665268919283752

I am sorry sir, could you please direct me to such Discord server? I am not there apparently, so I cannot see those messages. Would love to be kept up to date on this project.

Hi everyone!

Sorry for lack of updates but that was due to well... any real progress until now.

I am hoping to post the following concrete details within the next week: pricing, options, and GB date (we are shooting for next month!).

Also, I'd like to announce that Alexotos should be streaming a prototype build before the start of the GB so probably towards the end of this month.

I believe the only change made from the prototype Alex will be building and the final version is the type of bumpon (circular feet in the proto vs. rectangular feet in the final).

Can you find another proxy for Europe. ProtoTypist ist in UK so pretty much not usefull for any other country in Europe since UK is not anymore in the EU? Keygem is a nice Proxy.

It's going to be a thing. Alexotos mentioned on stream yesterday that he'll be building an Argyle soon. I don't see it on his published schedule yet, but I'd stay tuned for more there.

Finally found what this board was called. I was enticed by the render on DCS Red Alert thread.

It would be nice to have split spacebar support. The gingham doesn't have it either and I've been looking at through-hole keyboards the past few days.

Zrloth · « **Reply #332 on:** Mon, 31 January 2022, 21:16:08 »

This is a group buy I would actually be willing to wait for I love through he keyboards and the idea of one with a case is absolutely amazing! Please make the group buy post soon!

Since the project seems pretty close to GB as of recent updates, is there a price estimate on what this board will cost? Thank you for all of the time you put into this beautiful keyboard, I hope I can afford it

just under $400 as of now but im sure they will find ways to make it even more expensive by the gb date.

yeah as much as i love this keyboard im worried about the keyboard this isn't the first time where he says something's gonna be done within days/weeks but in ends up taking months or years i understand that covid isn't making this any easier but he really should update the ic page every week/month it makes me scared of getting the keyboard since he barley gives any updates and doesn't even have a discord server

I mean I'm 99% sure this is being run through vendors, so once it's in their hands there's really little responsibility for him.

I have decided to remove the argyle pattern from the PCB. As others have suggested, the pattern could clash with the colors, novelties, and theme of some keysets.
