Any tentative date for the GB?
I am curious if you have thought about offering non-metallic plate options. I may be in the minority, but I don't love brass or SS plates, and much prefer carbon, PC, or POM. Any chance of offering them as extras, or will plate files be released?
Now I know the sound from bottoming out a key will vary depending on the placement of said key on any given board, but this variation seemed particularly pronounced on this board. The typing video seemed to produce everything from the clackiest clacks to the thockiest thocks. Not sure what to make of it

Is that the Porsche font on the weight?
looks good :)
edit: any chance for discord?
The people going out of their way to berate someone and accusing them of editing the audio on a prototype sound test are the worst part of this hobby.

This looks great. However, can we have a Twitch streamer build a prototype and give their impressions?+1

Not at all, but it is indeed strongly inspired from it. There is no such "Porsche" font in existence, each graphic has been done by hand. Exactly like the Typemaster font, witch has been 100% done by hand from scratch. But if you look closely, you'll find a lot of differences between the Porsche work and ours.
We wrote about that a while ago here : https://typemaster.works/blogs/typemaster-news/about-the-typemaster-logos (https://typemaster.works/blogs/typemaster-news/about-the-typemaster-logos)
what about the 80 on the pcb ? it looks eerly similar to the Peugeot "Lion" font (http://www.zecraft.com/fonts/lion-peugeot/).
I'm curious because I wanted to use it myself but figured it was a way too obvious copyright infrigement.

Great, thanks!This looks great. However, can we have a Twitch streamer build a prototype and give their impressions?
We'll work on that very soon :-) Considering we only have 1 unit of the latest prototype, I want to make sure we don't need it anymore for 2 weeks before sending it to someone.

The "80" on the PCB is similar to the one on the weight. But in fact you are right, the Peugeot numbers font is verrrrry similar to the Porsche numbers, witch surprised me quite a bit when I saw it.
Considering we're not in the automotive world at all, if you design your own "inspired" font, I don't think you'll get any problems.
I encourage you to do not use fonts already done, but to use this awesome piece of software : https://fontforge.org/en-US/ (https://fontforge.org/en-US/)
But you'll see there is not a lot of way to design a "8" or a "0", following an "automotive" theme
Here are some views of how we created the Typemaster font :Show Image(https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0453/4173/7116/files/fontforge-1.png?v=1607341629)Show Image(https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0453/4173/7116/files/fontforge-2.png?v=1607341687)

Audio edits and font theft. These comments are something else.
I wasn't accusing them of anything, I said I didn't use this particuliar font myself because I was scared of such consequences. I also said that I was surprised to see something so similar. You're extrapolating lmaoForgive me, I'm not trying to extrapolate anything here. I'm just picturing a team of Peugeot lawyers absolutely ruining his life with slapstick lawsuits. lmao as you say.
Hi this is treeleafsame here
I want to make an apology for accusing you of editing sound. I'm glad you were able to back up your claim, and this makes it easier for me to respect you
Sincerely,
treeleaf

is there a possibility you can make a discord? I do not have IG and might forget about your website after bookmarking it.
Saw the first early prototype, it was kinda sus.
Now, this is really interesting it changed lot of things. I kinda like it, price is correct.
But i couldn't see any information about the Mount style. Also which one will be used as weight the text or the emblem ?
GLWIC !
We got contact with the factory today, and it seems we will be able to get plates in Carbon Fiber, POM and PC. Plates will most likely deburred and ready to use. I've seen not deburred plates in the past shipped directly to customers, and it wasn't nice to see. About an FR4 version, we'll do that later as it needs a bit of design work. We'll confirm that this weekend once the IC form will be closed !
Just a quick reminder about the fact the gel pads on the bottom piece are giving any plate a nice amount of flex, even with the stiffer ones like brass or stainless steel. Hopefully a plastic plate will not gives too much flex, we're now in untested territories :-)

Alu plate avail? fingers crossed
So the 429 and 479 pricing does not include the plate?
I think elongated flat black feet would look and feel better than the generic clear bumpons. Perhaps something like the Keycult or Mekanisk bumpons.
If we are in France will shipping still take place in 1 months i'm curious about it.

I find this board very interesting, and is something I am strongly considering buying, given the opportunity.
With that said, I think you guys really need to do a build stream with an independent streamer to make buyers more confident in this board. There are a lot of people that still comment about this being a KC copy based upon your past IC (even though I don't agree), and even in this thread there have been people questioning the legitimacy of your sound tests. A streamer going through your board, building it, and then sound-testing it would go a long way.
Additionally, there are also other premium 75% boards going to GB soon, such as the GHS.RAR 75%. They have like 4-5 streamers setup to show off their board. That makes a big difference in peoples' confidence to spend 600+ on a 75% board.
My OCD is telling me that the empty top right corner is bothering me.
Maybe you can add F13 to make it look more uniform...
I look forward to the typing test video from you guys - if you could do a more detailed run through of the board, the plate mounting, etc, that would be awesome to see as well.
One thing I read on the website that I didn't see in this post - the PCB supports ALPS switches? Is that correct? Are the plate offerings going to allow for ALPS as well?
Please have content creators build this
This is super cool and I'm excited for this despite the hiccup in the beginning
Are there any price expectations?
When would the GB happen and when could people expect to receive the board?
Thanks!
Man that prototype looks great and sounds awesome too!
Are you planning on a FCFS group buy or a raffle?
I'm not to big on the surface aesthetics (mostly the bottom) but the layout is AWESOME. I'll never understand why more 75's don't use a 3-button cluster on the right side. 4 and 2 button clusters don't jive with my functuay.
The one thing i really don't like are the rubber feet on the bottom. They look like a cheap after thought.

do you guys have a plan to release a Typemaster 165, for 65% layout?
To tell you the truth I'm interested already due to the unique magnetic mechanism. I hope you don't mind, I do have a couple of questions.
1) I was wondering how the magnets are attached to the case? In my experience magnetically attached doors/parts are great until a magnet comes loose from the adhesive and sticks to the other side! How are the magnets held in place? Will they stay in place over time?
2) Are you considering other formats perhaps, in the future? (I'm in love with 1800 boards for work!)
I really like the idea of the magnets. The gel also sounds like a really interesting idea. I sincerely wish you the best of luck in the GB.

Incoming :-) This keyboard should be shipped to a Youtuber / stream this coming week!
Any updates on who the streamer will be?
Do you know if Hipyotech is planning to do an actual build video, as opposed to the stream? He seems like a really nice dude, and I know everyone has to start somewhere - for example, Tae is my favorite keyboard content creator, and his channel started off with mostly budget keyboards - however, it was pretty clear that Hipyotech has not evaluated many premium boards. I can't say his stream really sold me on anything - fairly poor camera quality (the board legit looked gold his color was so off), washed out and difficult to hear audio, cheap budget keycaps, and at times he didn't seem to know basic details about the board. He also just kept going back to his Idobao boards and keycaps throughout the stream...
Whats funny is that I love everything about the board except the color combinations - somehow being able to opt into a completely black or silver would have been optimal, yet I would still love to join the GB irrespective of this :cool:
isn't this the board that started out as a keycult copy
Do you guys not have a discord?
Getting an all black case would be pretty dope - it should be possible too yeah?
Just watched the Hipyo video.
If I have money left when this goes into GB, I'm in.
Any ideas when GB will be, and how long fulfillment will take?
I'm finding this quite brilliant, especially the empty top blocker.
1. Will it be possible for users to take off the bumpons or do they come glued to the board?
2. What's the front height of the board?

Is it too late to change the gel thickness and make some room so that you can add the foam option under the PCB?
Board sounded good even with the weird SS plate you chose to send to the reviewers, but i feel like it would benefit from some foaming, lots of empty space as it is right now.
I think this looks good! Would be nice if store policy would be available in other languages than french though: https://typemaster.works/pages/conditions-generales-de-vente
Also, I take it ISO is supported? There are no selections based on layout for the plate on the site.
Can you create an ALPS plate design that work with ALPS stab?
