INTRODUCTION:

Super excited to share this with Geekhack. I've received some messages from people that I should make my keyboards more publicly available, so this is my first design that is in GB format and available to non-FnF.
With that decision, I also wanted to make it more official and separate my name from my design work. All of my future designs will be under the OIOIOI.WORKS™ "studio." (it's just me acting like I'm not just me)

Feel free to drop a follow on Instagram (https://instagram.com/oioioi.works).

I am also excited to be partnering with CannonKeys (https://cannonkeys.com) for fulfilment. Their warehouse team has a stellar track record and I'm really happy that they're willing to help out for this project.

Without further ado, I hope Fearless gives you as much joy as it gave me in making it.


DETAILS:

The gasket o-ring mount in this board is my interpretation of the Geon F1/F2 style o-ring strip gasket method, but I eliminated the need to get a plate CNC'd.
It's worked great in protos and I'm really excited to be able to get this mounting method in the hands of more people.

It's DDS so you know it'll be Good Parts.
For what is basically an F1 but 65% at this price, it would be a Smart decision.

Ahh DDS explains the pricing. Well worth the extra money IME. Probably not gonna jump on this buy since I'm not super into 65% boards anymore, but the design is beautiful & the manu is great! Will definitely be keeping an eye out for future designs from you!

Thank you so much for the kind words! I try to keep my pricing as low as possible while maintaining my creative sustainability, so I'm really happy that you can tell.

I originally had them in the post but it started to look a bit messy.
Here's Downtown Brown with GMK 3077:

I think so too! Originally I had only really been set on Reseda Green, but I asked around within my communities and it seemed they really wanted more boards in brown and orange anodisations. I figured since I'm not married to any other colour options yet, might as well!

Figured I should bump this post in celebration of the GB date extension. I effectively only had this open for 4 days, which was extremely short. I want to get stuff in before the end of the month though, so the 24th is the new end-date!

It didn't occur to me that the mention of CannonKeys could look fishy, but it's definitely a good point.
Someone in the CK Discord pointed it out and Upas responded publicly confirming it. Posting it here for visibility for anyone that has similar reservations!
