Talking about R2 - let's see. I hope I can run it myself but we should finish this one and then see how it goes.

That's good to hear. This is the first <60% i've been intrested in.

Same here, I love it’s design; it’s basically a mini Leopold FC660C & love to make those left buttons as work hotkeys if I get the chance to buy a rd2.

Sucks that I missed this... was having serious personal issues last few months and had to step away from keyboards for a while.

Please let there be a R2, this was one of the only keyboards I feel truly sad about missing out on.

Alternatively I will buy someone's GB slot including shipping, PayPal fees, etc.

I agree went through the same thing. Sold my collection over a year due to personal issues, so I understand. i just returned to MKBs about a month & a half ago. As of now, I’m recovering some of the stuff that I sold & trying to call in some favors. My fingers are also

is that poly bottom? I was thinking maybe I should have spent a little more to get a matching color, but now I'm happy. Great pics!

Yep!! PC bottom and polished brass plate. Just a note though that the color I have for the top is a custom one that's not in the GB.

I think they tried, but it "morphed" / bent / whatever you want to call it / too much and therefore they decided to drop the idea (at least for this R1).

You're correct. Poly top was slightly warped. Enough so to be a no-go for a GB. It's due to the thin bezels so the current design will never be offered with a poly top.

I talked with Kelly about this yesterday and the boards are still in QC if I understand correctly so it'll be with Kelly this year hopefully. But then there's Christmas and it's best to wait until the Christmas shipping rush dies down a bit. Don't quote me on WHEN the boards will be shipped but I'm rooting that QC goes well and they're shipped early next year. If so then it's still a good turnaround given GB started late September.

I'm honestly so happy that it's not going out before Christmas. As impatient as I am, shipping things internationally over that period seems like a recipe for disappointment

Just wanted to share this as I'm finally on a TMO50 myself. It's a 3d printed one with a POM plate that's been sitting around since March (I think?).

3d printed case, 1.5mm POM plate (universal)
Hako Clears (1st run)
Screw-in genuine stabs (band-aid mod, clipped, no lube)

Yeah, it's a prototype 3d print so there's some quarks. I printed myself a while back, it's the board I used as IC photos of prototype. Pretty much unchanged from the outside but there's some tolerances (top and bottom gets stuck together so I haven't even screwed it shut) and stuff like plate not actually screwing in. It's just that plastic shrinks and I didn't get it right. :D

does anyone have experience with the smaller stagger? Is it a noticeable difference? Now I'm 2nd guessing... the default stagger option is still base keycap compatible right? just using some keys from different rows?
I use the small stagger on my TMO. It is a noticeable difference at first, but I adjusted pretty quickly. I'm not the fastest typer, so I'm not sure if it makes more of a difference on the top end. For me it was just a matter of typing with it, and I got the hang pretty quickly, even after moving between boards. That being said, I think if I get another plate or desolder, I might change it to the normal layout just to see how that feels. I think I like that a little better aesthetically, though I definitely appreciate the compatibility of the small stagger.

I prefer smaller stagger in fact I love my ergodox board which is ortholinear. Would you mind sharing a picture of your TMO? I'm a bit confused about getting the 0.25/0.25 stagger setup. Thank you!
