Definitely interested. For color, what about an "elephant gray", to keep with the theme?

I'm really fan of this design.

Just one wish, is it possible to add to the thread the price for shipping to some regions: US, EU, Asia.. As it's not a light board I guess shipping will not be so cheap therefore people would be interested.

Thanks

I don't understand.  Is this a list of new things for this round?  Do you have any sketches or mockups to show what you mean by RGB curved?

Please please please please do not add a badge to the top of this and ruin the incredibly smooth and clean aesthetic. I would also not enjoy RGB on this either.

I *think* it's the indicator (pictured unlit, it's a bit tough to see) between the left function macros and the rest of the board but I'm not entirely sure.

And e-white/e-black?

Post by: keimura on Mon, 21 October 2019, 10:49:07
I'm not sure how big a change you are willing to make to the design but here is my 2cents.

-I think having a smaller layout (hhkb like but keeping the function column to the left) with the huge bezels would be really interesting. The contrast between the case size and key number would be fun.
-I don't care much for anything rgb and am neutral to whether it's there or not. If it is there then I would prefer underglow or a vertical line between the main layout and the functions.
-Actually, if you are going to add a name plate maybe add it in between the main layout and the function keys and accentuate it with rgb around it?

Whatever happens I'm supper pumped for r2!

Post by: KLÜTZ on Mon, 21 October 2019, 11:07:01
I am in the boat of not adding a badge. I think part of the S7's aesthetic is the smoothness and the simplicity. I think a nametag would disrupt that. Should you still want a nametage, I think it could go well on the back of the keyboard, where it is still present, but it would not break up the theme on the top.
Title: Re: 【IC】S7-elephant R2

Sidenote: Are you sure that you want to keep the price at $350? I though I heard that you ended up taking a loss on the first run.

I second this as well! Please keep it simple as before!! For colors I would also like to see an elephant gray like from R1 if possible. I think it would go really well with this. And please no RGB lol. Thanks!

"People", being me, and pretty much only me. R1 was an extremely slow seller, and I'm surprised it managed to make MOQ at all. Outside of my all brass unit Ja3soteric and the silver one TaehaTypes assembled, pretty much none of the units have been seen by people. I still have seen relatively little interest in the board, and I'd very much expect you to have plenty of time to pick one up. This is not something that will sell out in minutes.

1/ The fact R1 sold out slowly doesn't mean this one will - people talking about the board, TaehaTypes' video on it, etc. Those are all things that will make people want this board.
2/ "pretty much none of the units have been seen by people" - that doesn't mean anything, I mean, your sentence. I'll go and assume you mean almost none of the units have been seen in the wild which is a good sign to me since that means that the owners like their board and don't want to let it go.
3/ "I still have seen relatively little interest in the board" - there weren't many boards produced in R1, so not a lot of people post about it, true. That said, people comment and seem to like the board when it's posted/when it appears on stream. I'd like to see what you base your statement on.

1/ the times it HAS appeared it's been mostly ridiculed by people, because most find the bezels impractically large. Indeed, I needed to make a much taller wrist rest in order to type in mine comfortably at all. It's overall dimensions are quite a lot larger than a TKL, meaning it's a hard sell to anyone actually liking smaller form factor boards. The lack of keys make it less desirable to those who typically use boards of this size.

2/ Yes, I meant seen in the wild. And no, I was NOT referring to for sale. I mean actually seen in person by non-owners. I can't think of a single example that has yet appeared at a Meetup, unless Nathan took his to Seattle this year.

3/ I still don't see enough interest in this board to warrant the idea of it selling out in "seconds", let alone hours. I'm basing my statement off of when I see it posted somewhere. It's too much of a novelty to have large appeal. Even with a 50 unit limit, I don't expect this to sell in the first day.

Yes, e-white will be great. Can you also make the plate more recessed into the case so the bottom edges of the caps disappear in the body of the case?

Ah, excellent. I hope we can make it to 50! This community has grown a lot since R1 but we’ll see if people are interested in these giant bezels. I for one love the simple but massive design.

                       3. Left side have RGB curved besides five macros have Rgb curved

                       4.There was no bottom like ca66 design coz it will make case more higher.

                       5.8 degree


I don't understand.  Is this a list of new things for this round?  Do you have any sketches or mockups to show what you mean by RGB curved?


Seems like it is the same list of the first round, in fact idk what he means for nametag (there was no nematag in r1 but that list was the same)

I'm totally in!

My advices:
- Keys more recessed inside the case, so it's just a case design +1 or +2mm in height
- Walls tighter to the caps (slightly, to reduce the gap)
- Maybe make a version of the plate without too many useless holes, most of the people will build it ANSI and prefer no cheese plate (e.g. 2 plates: 1 Universal plate + 1 standard ansi)
- E-white and also DARK PURPLE (not pinky purple)
- Less important than other points, what about custom designs on the weight? (for higher price)

Agree with all of the above - imo with bigger cases lower sitting caps are better. I like this board - awesome design.

Yeah I think a lot of us read this as a limit of 50 units not a MOQ of 50. Can you confirm?
Sure ,MOQ of 50.due to first run not reach it so i have cost much then i expect

this is great news!

I would love a very dark green, dark blue-gray, or dark purple, though the gray and black ones I've seen also look amazing.

Not keen on the name-tag to the corner. Looking at some of the photos I agree that slightly tighter fit would be ideal, but not a deal-breaker for me - just want one of these amazing boards. :thumb:

If you’re not making any changes to the design then colour samples would be sufficient but if you’re changing any of the geometry I’d say some form of prototype is a must. Even if that drives up the price a bit. I’d rather pay for the R & D to get a better final product.

it depends on the design changes imo. If you keep the board as is, no name tag or anything, I would just provide the new color samples - if you are just going to change the tolerances, a new proto can be made but is not necessary. If you change more than that, I'd go for a prototype, indeed.

Again, this is just how I feel, others might feel differently.

Having taller walls for the keycaps to sit more flush with the case. So the plate is sunk into the case a bit deeper. Also reducing the gap between the case walls to the keycaps on the horizontal axis. So if you look straight down you don’t see as much of a gap between keycaps and the case walls.

The spacing is fine. As it is I can barely fit my puller in those spots.
Same with the sidewall height. It doesn't need to be recessed further. (pics related)
