Is there a render of the back of the keyboard?
Not having WKL/HHKB/Tsangan support for a 400 dollar keyboard is disappointing imo. Adding more plate material options would be kinda cool too, especially if you can add flex cut to ur pcb for us bounce lovers :) Either way, GL with the IC!

Wait, so does the PCB just hang from the plate? Or are the mounts not shown yet in the render? This thing is sick.
Just want to make sure: Does the plate support split backspace and split right shift? Looks like it base on the renders, but I just want to make sure.
Nevertheless, this is really nice! Very very excited for this! I hope I get a spot @.@
Very very nice, especially loving that aquamarine! Will we get a sound test sometime before the buy as well? Also curious if the plate will be getting any relief cuts as I tend to see that common with the gasket mounting systems?
I have a dream that there will be a super secret ultra-rare burnt orange color of the tind :)
The seamless would make it easier to powder coat though, right? So maybe I could have it painted down the road.

those pictures are making me want to get a set of solarized dark just for this board...
Looks gorgeous
that's too bad about the delay. can't wait to try and get my hands on one
what more do I need to say other than YES!
Been testing a bit: feels great to type on, great sound. I love the carbon fiber plate.
More later.

More info coming later, I just have to finish exams :)
Also implementing a few changes for the production model.
Hi LeandreN, have you considered offering electrophoretic coatings (e.g. e-white) for this board?
Yes, in the future.
The plan is to offer different colors each round, and I have some special plans aswell.
where can I read about this raffle method? does that mean that only 100 kits will be sold in this round? or the raffle is for who gets served first? thanks.
And it sounds as good as it looks! I'm double sold, when are you expecting to setup the raffle for this?

I initially said late June for the raffle, which may be, but whatever date I decide to run the raffle, the shipping date is still November 2020.
So I hope it is okay for folks with a little bit flexibility on the raffle date as long as it is announced in advance, and that I can gurantee a delivery in November 2020 no matter when the buy itself will happen.

Sounds good to me, I was just curious since the delivery time had been pushed back if it also affected the raffle time. Either way, can't wait for this!
Are you planning on bringing this gasket system to some of the other boards? (Klippe, Fjell)

Great looking board! Are there pics of the bottom side of the board? Just wondering what the logo/weight looks like.
Hi LeandreN, i have been waiting for this case since early 2019 although i know you have been developing it since much earlier, and i got a couple of questions.
What are the plans for Tind in the future, will be more raffles or gb (if this raffle goes well)?
I'm guessing that the plate is the regular 1.5mm, do you if making an alps compatible 1.2mm plate will be a problem or should be ok? (assuming that you realese the plate files for people making their own) I'm making this question because maartenwut probably will be making an alps pcb with daugtherboard support
That is great i would love test it with the regular plate 1.5, and a custom 1.2 for alps. I definitely will be at raffle, although my luck kinda sucks but let's see this time. It's lovely to see the essence of Fjell in a gasket mount, also the mekanisk blue and the R1 grey colors are top notch, will be a hard choice for most of the winners.
Hi. 1.2mm should be fine but you get less gasket compression.
I will release the files. And yes, there will be more raffles in the future.
Thanks for your support.
Will the PCB be Alps compatible? With alps plate files?
Ah. Ok. Got confused for a second. Thanks!Will the PCB be Alps compatible? With alps plate files?
No alps PCB or alps plate files. You can create your own though.

These photos are works of art in and of themselves.
LeandreN, are you happy with how the ultramarine color came out on the prototype? Is that going to be the final color for the GB?
Yes it’s the same ultramarine used since July 2019.

Thanks for the quick reply. From the photos it seems like it would be an almost spot-on match to my GMK Sol Dark set.
Looking forward to the next proto update! It already looks and sounds amazing as is. You had mentioned that this board is testing a design for that mounting system that you intend to use on further projects (and I assume update old ones as well), so far is it as you had hoped it would be?
I haven't bought one of these fancy gasket-mounted keyboards before. If I wanted to replace the PCB/plate with something that supports my layout (JIS), is that a reasonable thing to do or is the plate custom-moulded to this case and thus having my own printed would be likely to yield worse results?
JIS contains a lot of different standards if I am not mistaken. The bottom row on some of these layouts are not supported by the PCB or the plate. You could design your own plate, then get a 60% PCB with daughterboard support and JIS layout support. If that exist.
I am not rushing any of this. I am waiting for the final prototype before letting people entering the raffle.Group buys done right! Really excited for this one.
This will also be used for detail photos, so you can make a decision on whether you want to enter the raffle or not, based on production photos.
The prototype is estimated to ship next week, and will probably arrive late next week. These times, it is difficult to estimate this, so I ask for your patience regarding this.
Thank you!
This Is a fairly basic question I haven’t seen answered. Sorry if I am making people repeat themselves or restate the obviously established. If so, please point me at the existing answer with a URL?
How many years would a gasket last? I know we’re aiming to optimise typing feel, not longevity, I accept that, but I’d like to know what I’m getting. The Fjell / Tind design is pretty ageless, IMO, by the way.
Would buying spares now even help, would the spare not expire alongside the original? Would it make a difference if the spare is shrink-wrapped, is it exposure to air that does it for the gasket, or pressure from being used?
I’m guessing the choice of material makes a big difference here.
If buying a spare now wouldn’t help, how about keeping spares in the store, and maybe also supplying 3d printing plans, if that’s at all feasible?
You can thank the designer of the Fat Boy for putting these thoughts in my head!

Thank you. Again, that color goes with Sol Dark so well.
It looks like the caps are sitting slightly above the side of the case, making for a small gap when viewed from the side like that. Is this due to the mounting method? Is it something that will be fixed in the final version?
lol, when you think you missed the raffle on March 3rd, but then you realize the date is internationally formatted, and then you feel guilty for being raised on yet another stupid american standard.
