should have just waited with the IC if you have more info to come. IC's these days look more polished than this, for example the colours. If you offer more than white then at least show renders of those colours.

+ I'm not a big fan of offering only one plate option and exclusive softwares. Most if not all ppl in this hobby have VIA or QMK already on their pc so having those softwares supported is basically a must unless ur software is easier to use than VIA ppl won't be so fond of the idea to install another software which they need to get used to just for this board alone.

Hello, I have a few questions.  :D

What aluminium does the case use? What type of finishing will you do on the case? Anodization, e-coat, something else? What aluminium does the plate use? Will there be other plate materials? Why are you using plate mounted stabilizers? What hotswap sockets does the PCB use? Can we have ANY pictures of internals? Why is there 8 screws holding together a 65? Why are you doing an "exclusive software" instead of just using VIAL or some other software already used within the community? Why is there foam in the keyboard, your IC mentions no foam? What type of battery does this use for the wireless mode? Will there be ISO layout support? Will this be a group buy or in-stock sale? Will you be handling this project yourself (I assume you're an individual because you haven't introduced yourself) or will there be vendors?

We are considering QMK and VIA.

For proper wireless support, being BLE or wireless 2.4Ghz it would be better to consider ZMK. Lager support and way more options for power management.

Very tofu vibe. I think to complete the price will need to be the same or lower unless there is something I’m missing about the internals. Glwic

Also talk about yourself. Are you an individual a company etc

Please consider:

- moving USB port from left to centre
- supporting 7u bottom row

I actually don’t mind a good wireless/Bluetooth 65% keyboard. But I need a 7u bottom row and VIA support when not using wireless.

Exclusive software is all I need to no to say know.

Wait, I got some words mixed up there...

Proprietary software? So many open source projects that need improvement on wireless, and you choose to use proprietary? I don't understand the reasoning behind this.

I will be gladly buying this AC067 (or SAN67 or whatever the final name is in the end), I am currently daily driving an AJAZZ AC064 myself and I am pretty happy about it.

Seeing that AJAZZ is finally moving to south-facing AND gasket mount boards is awesome. I wish my AC064 had both features.

If AJAZZ is finally making the board compatible with QMK and VIA, that would be nuts!

What protocol would the 2.4GHz wireless be using and will the protocol and the firmware be open?
When you say exclusive software, do you mean closed/proprietary?
As long as the firmware is not closed/proprietary, I have nothing against you creating custom desktop software to configure the keyboard via that software, even if the software isn't open source, as we can always just not use it.

Wait, that's half the price of what OP is quoting. What's going on here?

Hi, any progress on this? Is this board still happening?

This keyboard looks like a really sleek and stylish option with its aluminum case and gasket mount, and the exclusive software and hot-swap PCB sound like great features as well. I'm always on the lookout for new keyboard options, and this one definitely seems worth considering.
I'm a bit of a keyboard enthusiast, and I've experimented with different technologies in the past, including infrared keyboards. While an infrared keyboard (https://emfclothing.com/accessories/ir-keyboard-with-trackball) can be a reliable option for wireless keyboards, it does have some limitations in terms of range and line-of-sight requirements. This 2.4GHz wireless keyboard seems like it could be a great alternative, with its longer range and ability to connect through walls and other obstacles.

while the design looks nice, and that PVD weight looks good, there's problems

it's own software sounds awful. the hobby uses QMK and Via/Vial. and pretty sure most are content with keeping it that way. don't need or want to download some other software for their keyboard that might need to stay on and take up resources just for it to work *cough cough* synapse, glorious, G hub

also if you have multiple color options, at least show some renders, we don't need every color on a proto but a render to see it on the case is a smart play
