What is the final layout out of the 4 renders going to be?

And is there a hole in the side of the case or is that where the PC inlays are going to sit?

Where are the mounting points of the tadpoles

Hi! After IC we want to select two most voted to make. For the first model 84key we selected pcb YMD75 that support Ansi/ISO and for compat and exploded models we want to make pcb in cooperation with Y&R Studio and maybe support Ansi/ISO.

The holes are 100x3x3mm at sides.

Mount points are 8 near to the screw holes and support alternative top mount.

Could we see a diagram of the mounting points as this can impact a keyboard greatly. Also could we get the EKH please, it's a more accurate way of telling the front height for potential buyers.

Hi! The EKH is 23mm or 24mm (depending mounting position, If you use rubber balls). About mount points are not defined, specially for the exploded version, but are 4 up and 4 down. Do you have any suggestion?

OMG please number 4 if it's the layout that I think it is. Is it like the evolv75 layout?

Yes, the same layout.

Have you got the proto? Which layout will it be?

I think 2 is the most interesting and classy design. the angled chin is aesthetically pleasing and comfortable for your hands, and the compact 75% with separated F row is the nicest design. Exploded 75% is just bandwagoning on the popularity of the satisfaction75 and all the imitators after it, and lots of people are over that layout now because it adds too much bezel on the bottom where your hand rests. Just my 2 cents

The exploded 75 layout is new, not the same as sat75, it has all .25u spacing. This is someone actually trying to put to market the evolv75 layout with the 1.5u shift. So far everyone that's done an IC for the layout never put anything out.

Everyone other board with 75 has the ugly sat75 with .5u spacing or the 7v with the .25u but can only fit 3/4 keys on the right due to spacing.

GB price is 230 USD

no idea why, but that is a big difference suddenly. Unfortunately, the price is too high for me.

Where've you got this information from? Agreed that 230 is too much for what all this is - MKC75 was like 120USD or thereabouts for a HS PCB config, but I don't see where 230 is said.

Just check their website. GB is already live.
