Keylice - Alice 65%

Designed by Kenny 42 Studio

Intro
Greetings keyboard friends.
This is Velocifire team and this is our first time to introduce you an Alice layout keyboard. We hope you like it!
If you have anything question please don' t hesitate to ask us in the comment. :D

Designs
About appearance:Due to the designer's love for the layout of Alice and the rigid demand for Bluetooth connection, Kenny 42 studio designed this keyboard called Keylice. The designer believes that the Alice layout is already eye-catching enough in appearance, and the slender appearance adds a sense of softness for it, so there is no more personality elements are added.
About layout: The original intention of Keylice's layout design is to serve more people's demand, and users can adjust the layout according to their own needs. Therefore, on the basis of the arrangement of Chocolice, Keylice retains the middle 1U Fn key of the standard Alice layout, and adds 2.75u shift and split backspace.
About weight: In order to echo the bottom case, the shape of the weight has changed from the original rectangle to a trapezoid with both sides parallel to the extension of the bottom case, which can make the weight looks less dull and boring to a certain extent, and increase the sense of vitality.

The difference between GB products and prototypes

1. Larger weight chamfer.
2. Changed the shape of the screw fixing place of the plate
3. The rgb patch light is transferred from the original "~" key to "caps" key.
4. For prototypes, the Top mount is pre-installed with 0.3mm gaskets to ensure that the structure does not conflict. This will be further improved in the GB, and it can be used without gaskets.

The way the arrow keys interfere with the position of right shift makes this a no go. Owl Labs did the same thing. Let Alice layout remain Alice layout and if you want arrow keys get an Arisu.

Honestly, I don't like that they are laughing in the face of the community, putting a product at 120$+ of what it is worth in the Chinese GB.

Thank you for your feedback, this is not the final price, we will try our best to set a reasonable price after calculating the product cost with the other necessary cost.

can you add e-pink color too

Hi there, thank you for your comment, we will consider adding this color if there will be a R2. :)

Hello everyone, we have changed the price from 340$ to 320$! :thumb:

I think you made a mistake again. 1599 RMB (chinese GB) is 220 USD, not 320 USD. 100$ difference between those 2. To be so shameless is disgusting

Yeah the difference in GB price from CN is way too big makes this an easy skip, $320 for this is too much.

Pricing is a joke.
