Will there be enough space to integrate a battery should I decide to go with a bluetooth pcb?
yes it has reserved 5mm deepness slot for battery. Bluetooth mode works good on DC60 casing(tested, it is perfect). PCB we will provide YD60.

Yesss... i’ve been waiting to build a white board for a while.. I already have some good keycaps to go with it.. how long until the gb drops and shipped? Before august ends hopefully considering the pace its going?

Talked to ALF offline, he mentioned 1-2 weeks for the basic version...
ALF is pretty amazing...let's see.

Is the render of the deluxe going to be updated here before the GB for basic version happens? Also, will we get all of the colors proto or just those you’ve posted?

I really want to stick around for the deluxe for that weight but I also don’t want to miss out on the basic if the deluxe doesn’t fit my eyes. Worst case scenario, I’ll buy both :)

Do you have any of the cases anodised in colour 2 (greenish grey) from the OP? Maybe one of those in the photo actually is, I can't tell.

We can design and let it supports Bluetooth PCB but It has a big brass weight on button case. Unless we CNC on brass top surface and make a slot for battery. Imo, not quite nice :p

Hi guys, after 2 weeks brainstorming, there is the Deluxe draft design.(Top casing not only HHKB layout, standard and wkl will be available also)
3 things i want to hear from your guys:
1) The DC60 weight looks too big from the bottom view, how do you think?
2) Side view i am good, what is your words?
3) I am considering about add some LED :D

Gah, this thread slipped my mind.

1) MUCH prefer the dc60 weight, although I guess its too late now.

2) Prefer the simple side view.

3) Leds arent necessary, but they arent a deal breaker.

Again, im probably much too late to provide any useful feedback... but there it is.

I have some questions about the DC60, if you can answer them that would be swell

1. Will the IC for the deluxe version come out before the normal one ends

2. Will the deluxe still have a normal top or will it only have the hhkb top

3. Will any brass plate fit in normal version

If this was mentioned before sorry for being redundant, but I gave it a read and did not see it prior. Thanks again and good luck with the GB

Rough estimate by Louis was about 280USD (9th July post) but he reiterated that it is a very rough estimation because they still haven’t finished designing the case completely.

Oh wow just visited this thread after seeing the GB post. I had no idea about the deluxe version, but now that I'm seeing it I will definitely skip on the basic for the deluxe! If everything goes smooth and stays relatively the same the deluxe will be my next board. Good stuff from ALF!

Me too, but with the 90$ price increase compared to prev GB + shipping to Asia, I can probably buy 2 of the Basic version + 1 Deluxe version.

Price aside, I think my main issue with fjell is its front end is too high for me to have a comfortable typing experience.
