This is so cool Margo!
I will buy 3 PCB's if they support a standard bottom row, I was going to add a function row to a Nerd60 with Enablers but this is way easier. KUDOS!
this would be perfect... ISO ftw!!! :D also dedicated arrows and Fs... nothing more wanted ;)

I would definitely be interested in this! (Winkeyless PCB) :)
EDIT: Case too.

This is an interesting PCB design, and one I think definitely needs to be built as it has a place in our world. I've seen people desire this exact layout. Even though I won't be purchasing it, I do hope that it makes it off the ground.That's why I've got three Pure layout boards now, those keys are always unused anyway and you get used to using them as nav keys real quick.
Also, as far as dedicated arrows, if you built a winkeyless keyboard, and used a short right shift, you could use that area for dedicated arrows. It's pretty close to a nice inverted T.
I'd be interested in this PCB. :)
good enough... is the pcb programmable? so the arrow keys could be set as standard?
Yesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyes.
Any chance in a notched plate?
But count me in for a PCB.
This looks pretty cool.
So will the "crystal" housing be the acrylic case like in the sample photo?
Interesting, i really like the layout. Also have a SkiData set which waits for its time, and would love a 60% with F-Row (which i really need for several applications). I'm interested in a PCB!
Bunny was right. Layout is kind of funky but I'm kind of into it. Thank God you can do winkeyless. I'm broke as **** right now but if my situation improves, I'd be interested in the whole shebang, probably.
This is really cool, however I am sticking to topre at the moment. Good job Margo, I hope to see the gb be successful!
Bluetooth would be a very nice to have. What's the difference between the NS Crystal cases and the NS AL cases? One is acrylic and the other one is aluminum? How much would the Bluetooth compatible case cost?
Would buy if it is a high profile and doesn't have the floating keys design like most of GONs other board. Really like this idea!
I'm in for a PCB. Case is a maybe.
When do you think this will be running? I'm low on funds at the moment and will be for a while since I have to study for finals :(
I see a rough estimate on price for the PCB, and the Aluminum case. What about for the Crystal case?
Also, I assume this supports LEDs similar to a GON board? (Or is that a bad assumption?)
Looks fun.
I think if I buy another keyboard before I buy a ring... My girlfriend my leave me. :(
I am interested.. at least for a PCB.
Will the drawings for the case/plate be availble? I have access to a CNC, so I may be able to cut the parts myself, at a later date.
Heya Margo, is the NS crystal case the pink case shown in the original pic? I see the price on the aluminum case, is there a price on the NS crystal case yet? thanks

Yeah for sure, when it's GB stage should hopefully have pics etc.Heya Margo, is the NS crystal case the pink case shown in the original pic? I see the price on the aluminum case, is there a price on the NS crystal case yet? thanks
No that's an acrylic case - the Crystal case is made of polycarb. The Crystal case I think comes in a little bit cheaper than the alu case but not by much, like just a few bucks. For example - the NERD TKL alu case is $201, the NERD Crystal TKL is $190
My understanding of the Crystal case is it's like the alu case, except its all polycarb - looks like this (pic from GON's website - thanks GON)Show Image(http://www.gonskeyboardworks.com/197-thickbox_default/diffusing-polycarb-15t-plate-for-kmac1122.jpg)
I think it's polycarb top and bottom - I will ask GON next time I speak to him to confirm.

You think there's any way he can offer a polycab case without the visible bolts on the top, or does the case have to be designed that way?

Pretty much has to be designed that way
I'm don't believe so but don't let that deter you, I'm going to pull my litster case apart and have some similar ones made to accommodate this. Never been a fan of exposed plates.I'm interested in PCB and maybe case.

Okay. Just one more question.
Is the "crystal" housing low-profile also, and if so will there be any case options that are not low-profile?

I don't have the budget for this board right now but I just wanted to say it's great seeing new layouts in customs. I'm looking forward to seeing completed boards margo :D.
Interested in the PCB!
I had totally forgotten about this! Since we spoke about it, it's gathered quite a bit of interest. Fingers crossed we hit the magic number... Cheers Margo!
I'm definitely in for a pcb.
Case is a maybe.
Count me in for a PCB , case will probably be too much for me though .
I guess we will be able to order the electronics from either CtrlAlt or GON to avoid multiple shipments costs ?
Really hope this takes off sometime this year, this layout would solve so many problems with gaming on a 60% board. It seems like such an obvious improvement too, most people are looking to cut space from the keyboard horizontally, the little space saved by cutting off the F row on 60% boards isn't really worth it IMO.Hopefully , when both Margo and GON become less busy , we'll see updates on it.
The world needs this keyboard.
For the record this has been my dream layout to play StarCraft for years. The only thing I'd like is for a standard right shift option.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/5qo6aVL.jpg)
Something like this with the proper spacing between the F-rows :D

Bump, I'd still really like to see this layout/project go forward somehow.

I know man, this is my dream board. Sadly Margo hasn't been on in ages and tons of people are having trouble getting their GON orders fulfilled so I don't like our chances. I'm going to try and add an F-row to the GH60 PCB to accommodate this, just waiting on the final revision PCB files to be released.
Soon™

margo is currently in the middle of dealing with some serious life tragedies, one very personal to him, as well as a good friend of his dying in the recent shoreham plane crash, as a result of the former he is currently out of town
i have spoken to him and hes alright just getting things back together and will be back as and when he can
