Post by: pixelpusher on Thu, 01 August 2019, 08:39:48: Any details on mounting or materials?

The top right badge looks off to me. Would you consider making it shorter so that it doesn’t touch the edge? It would help the board look more uniform if the bezel wasn’t interrupted by the badge. Also, maybe make the badge match the slanted design of the case and weight? You could apply the slanted angle of the middle for the edges of the badge. Or at least apply that as a detail to a side or corner of the badge.

Yes, this is the only colour for now.

Post by: rowie on Thu, 01 August 2019, 10:57:11: Would be nice if you offered the reverse and have pink on the top and then grey badge. I have so many dark keyboards and need more light colored keyboards. Fantastic job so far. :thumb: I will watch this thread and see where this evolves.
Title: Re: [IC] IQUNIX DISCRETE 87
Post by: DasGnome on Thu, 01 August 2019, 11:07:16: Really appreciate how adventurous this design is. I agree with others that the badge should be shorter, line it up with the key block under it. It's more of a distraction to the interesting "stepped" looked than anything. I also think the badge would look better in grey.
Title: Re: [IC] IQUNIX DISCRETE 87
Post by: jooobe on Thu, 01 August 2019, 11:24:39: Maybe etch or engrave just the word discrete on to the case without the badge? You can color in the word with the badge color tho.

SA bliss will look dope on this

Post by: breckstar on Thu, 01 August 2019, 18:05:23: Design is cool but unfortunately a lot of keycap sets wouldn't fit properly. The 6 key cluster (home, end, pgup, pgdn, ins, del) usually isn't supported for R2-R3 as this design shows.

There is a difference between discrete and discreet

Yep. I'd just ditch the PrtSc/Scroll Lk/Pause keys and keep Ins/Del/Home/End/PgUp/PgDn where they should be.

Great idea! Hope OP takes these suggestions.

Ditching the supranav keys for no reason is an objectively terrible idea (YMMV). If nothing else, they can be put to good use for other things, like volume control.

Besides that, I agree that moving the nav keys (Ins, Del and HUDE) one row down isn't a good idea, either.

Post by: Fried Doggy on Thu, 15 August 2019, 11:46:55: Nice keyboard, Just wondering if there are any dates or prices on the board?
Also just a suggestion instead of having a badge in the top right corner maybe and engraved logo of "Discrete" would look alot better, so you would have your branding and not make the top of the board look clustered. But apart from that the board is very unique especially the bottom.

LOL ^this. Could maybe do with a bit thinner bezels but really nice design guys!

edit: I am very dumb.

Post by: shansoft on Thu, 15 August 2019, 17:42:54: The keys on the top right if they can be in their original position would be much better.
The keycap height won't match properly and it does seem off to me.

Post by: SUB01 on Sun, 25 August 2019, 21:38:57: I think the bezels are a bit too fat, reminds me of 2014 gaming laptop monitors. Also if those copper accents are actually all copper that is going to be hella expensive. Still, well done.
