Definitely keeping an eye on this! Love the design of the three planets. I notice that foam is not mentioned or shown at all, is foam simply not planned for the Pluto or has it just not been added to the IC yet? I'd like to at least have the option to add case and/or plate foam, even if for extra cost. Looking great so far!Hey, thanks ive read your response in the IC form, just added a question to see how many people prefer foam.
will other plate options be available?Yes, Aluminium and PC are the main focus at the moment. Since its an early IC, the response from the IC will help reveal more plate options to add :)
How about a white color for the Pluto since the white ver of the Hira did not make it?would love to do that, the response from IC will help determine it.
Looks cool! Can you show the oring/top mount points?(https://i.imgur.com/cydn82y.jpg)
cool board :thumb: will pay continuous attention to it.
would you consider adding more screws in the middle? 4 small screws for this long boy seems too less.
Would it be possible to provide gaskets to go over the top mount mounting points? Similar to the Sonnet?
Just wanted to say I love the pricing of this, and the fact that it can o-ring mounted and top mounted which is not something you see at this price point.
Is there any chance for WKL? And if WKL, would be cool to have some engravings of Pluto on the blockers or something like that. I'm sure it would add to the cost a little but it would make the board even more unique.
GLWIC!
The bottom is very similar to the Mercury 65 in design with the two tone engraving showcasing planets surrounded by stars. I think it draws too much inspiration from it personally with how it is styled to the point it seems copied.

Not sure about affordable here, custom keyboards have gotten a lot better and an MOQ of 500 is rather ambitious given that there is not that much new being brought to the table.
Def interested, looks like the bottom design got changed. If we're not going to get the original design for the bottom is there any chance for a plain bottom instead (not a big fan of the pluto text)?I can defenitly look at that, see if we can have an option for plain bottom.
I preferred the previous bottom engraving a lot. The small engraving on top is cute but the accent piece bothers me. Here. Before it was a ver clean looking top with the cool engraving on the bottom and now it feels like the top does a bit too much while the bottom does not do anything. These are obviously all design choices and up to personal preference.
Would be cool to have the old engraving as an option or as someone mentioned before a bottom without text. Still for me the accent piece is just not my cup of tea.

I like the brass bottom option. I agree with the top ss piece. Would be cleaner without it but keep the symbol engraving. All in all a great design and price point.
Hey, thank you for the feedback. For the Top piece i did a poll in my discord between 3 top pieces. The current version is the one that got the most votes. The plain top barely recieved any love.Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/HzYJJBc.png)

Option of engraving without accent wasn’t an option?
I would prefer no engraving with the accent piece.
Kind of bummed about the bottom engraving change, loved the first one. This one is still nice on the eyes, but it's just not my cup of tea. Although, if that's where the price difference came from, then I completely understand why that was done. I would also be interested in that plain bottom option if the old design is gone. Love the top Pluto symbol engraving though!Thanks alot for your feedback Jho, yea unfortunately old engraving is gone. It wouldve required two tone anodisation to make the engraving fully visible.
The initial idea of the project - keep it simple - combined with a beautiful engraving on the bottom was fantastic!!!Hey ylothar, thanks for your opinion. sorry that you dont like the accent with top engraving. Ive added the question regarding the new top piece and i am still getting feedback from it. I mean there is a reson we do interest checks :) as for Price 250$ is still lower than 330$ <3
Having removed the initial engraving, and added IMHO superfluous details (accent and top engraving), I have the impression that this project has lost sight of the initial premises (price included).
Too bad (for me), but of course GLWIC!!!
hey there are a few things I am missing and hope that will get updatd before the Pluto (I know its in a early stage of IC) goes into GB.
pictures of the protos so we know what the product looks irl instead of renders. Renders are one thing, but seeing actual protos are another one. My concern comes from keycap renders that in the past had problems matcing the renders. So I would apreciate actual proto pics.
the next thing would be the PCB, are there flexcuts? I didnt find that on the kbdfans IC nor here. Would love to know if it has or doesnt have cuts. And if it has cuts then I would like to know where.

Hi, yes the prototype is almost done. I’ll share the pictures here and in my discord when i get the chance to do so. The pcb will have 0 flex cuts.
Did this happen already? I don't see GB page and OP photos are gone. Hmm...Yes, it's done and they are now in stock here.
Thanks. Every combination I've tried seems to be sold out. Too bad I missed it.

There are plenty of the aluminum models still in stock, unless you want the Jade color
the brass ones sound out during the pre-order
