UPDATE 5/26/21We apologize for the lack of updates on Geekhack. We are fairly active on Discord but we've left this thread out to dry, and we're now rapidly approaching GB-readiness so an update is needed.
The Aizome color has been tweaked to make production more affordable, but will still be a very similar navy blue.
Pricing has not been finalized, but we have a list of all the options we'll be offering:
The base kit (Keyboard itself and PCB) will come standard with an
ANSI plate & PCB, wearing brass hardware. You will be able to chose your color of choice for the body at checkout.
As for extras, there will be several options available:
- Optional Aluminum Hardware: This includes an aluminum plate and PCB (ISO* and ANSI) if you aren't into the whole brass thing.
- Polycarbonate Plates (ISO* and ANSI)
- Carbon Fiber Plates (ISO* and ANSI)
- Extra Brass Plates (ISO* and ANSI)
- Extra PCB (ISO* and ANSI)
*ISO plates are universal plates that will fit both ISO and ANSI layouts. ISO PCB's are soldered and support phat enter, split backspace, and stepped capslock. ISO PCBs are also universal (meaning you could use it with ANSI plates).
Finally, we won't be using a third party vendor. The decision was made to lower the cost of the GB as a whole, though we understand it does make shipping more expensive for overseas customers (we are based in California).
