In order to make special inner rim design into reality, it need some physical support. Finally, we decide to use 4mm Plate to support inner rim.

If 4mm plate is only one choice, we do not think soldering pcb will be a good choice. That's why hot pluggable pcb is default option during IC.

I like the light above the arrow cluster and the overall design.
Hotswap on a TKL is wecome as well.

Not too excited about the mounting system, if the goal is to allow for a low profile build I would expect most customs buyers have no interest in that.

inett design and fox lab production is like a perfect pairing. really liked the cross but didn't get in on it, this is looking super super nice. curious to see what colors will be offered, but will definitely keep my eye on this one.

Dang this thing looks killer. Hopefully will be able to get one since I missed out on the Cross 70. I'm ok with the bottom design as long as we can get some PVD Brass for the lettering.

Thanks for your interest.

As explained above, we would like to provide more options for players. But according to current design, we think hot swap pcb is the best choice with 4mm plate in order to get unique inner rim design for this TKL  :)

Absolutely love the top design - the accent colors around the keys look incredible.  Been waiting for a really solid TKL for a while so this has my attention.

That said, the bottom design really turns me off.  Not that I look at the bottoms of my boards often, but this really has me on the fence and I'll end up having to go with my gut in the end, depending on color choices.

Yes, 'accent colors around the keys' is unique in my design. I spend a lot of time for this design to make in reality. Thanks for your enjoying.

color options and prototype pictures will be updated soon.

Since 'win' blocker is connected with inner rim, you will feel that is not same as other WKL keyboard. Same color for keyboard and plate (inner rim) will make it better. Leave more choice for players  :))

OoOof, I am not a huge fan of TKLs but gotta admit to a killer design when I see one! These are really visually appealing boards, the extra bit of the plate that extends up through the case to outline all the keys make for a great & striking look with most color combos. Really great work here! :cool:

Dumb question, maybe, or perhaps it's been covered here, but how if the plate is 4-mm thick, how do the switches snap into it? The tabs on a traditional switch are designed for a specific plate thickness, correct? Is the plate indented to let those tabs nestle into the plate?

This is a bit more of a concern with a hot-swap PCB, since there's no solder holding the switch legs.

The switch openings are milled out to 1.5mm underneath to let the switches snap in on the top and bottom.

Here is a picture for plate for your reference :) hope it can be more clear.

Absolutely, YES. We already have prototypes and make it in reality  :p

OoOof, I am not a huge fan of TKLs but gotta admit to a killer design when I see one! These are really visually appealing boards, the extra bit of the plate that extends up through the case to outline all the keys make for a great & striking look with most color combos. Really great work here! :cool:

Thanks. Yes, the 'inner rim' takes us a lot of time to think how to make it in reality. Finally, we found that it can connect with plate. But it actually bring more troubles for plate manufacturing. Hope you enjoy it  :thumb:

My question:

1. QMK compatible PCB will not have RGB?
2. GB date has been set?

Thanks for looking.

1 YES, RGB light is not shipped with qmk compatible PCB.

2 It should be very soon.  :p

No blue option? I really like the blue prototype that you have.

The color outline around the keycaps comes from the plate? I hope there will be no visible gap between the top piece and the outline color of the plate.

During GB, I am sorry that blue option will be removed since it looks very nice in camera, but you will feel a little disappointed under normal light. Only beautiful options will be available in GB  :thumb:

Yes, it comes from plate. As my feel for prototype, the gap between inner rim and case is not easy to detect, and we are trying our best to make it as close as we can .
