it's unlikely that I'll deviate from the truefox layout

Me too. I might be interested though, solely for the sake of a stepped caps lock. :)

I want one, but I just spent a bunch of monies on another new keyboard......... maybe in the future I will find one for trades or sale. Does anyone know if there is going to be a second round?

Matt3o said there may be, but this was before the max quantities rose to 2k.
Sweet avatar, btw.
I think it's really neat! Sadly I don't have a use for the layout :P

Speaking of which I have no idea why I bought one considering I am 100% happy with 60%

Buy it for your Mrs, I had to buy one for mine with Clears just so she can see what a custom keyboard is all about.
Always please your loved ones with these type of keyboards. Have no use for 60% keyboards on my desk so you need to bring a little joy to other people in your life.

Yeah I know... My next step is to try and find a pbt4 key cap set because it was before I was on geekhack and I seriously think that the sets from the gb are calling out to me. My body is ready to spend as much as it takes lol. Pray4sircheddar
Was going to initially, but decided to wait and see if the "special" edition ends up coming with a GB in 2016. If not no worries. I think everyone who gets one will be really pleased.
Think I'm going to dive into Topre for the time being, after it being in the back of my mind for the good part of 4 years.
The negative views I've seen regarding Massdrop have been concerning... are they notably unreliable?

watch the thread - I managed to pick up a set of cherry 98 about a week ago
this was before everyone starting getting them though so it's probably going to be harder now
And then there's the big one - more stuff sold on MD means less group buys happening in the actual community, which is where most of the interesting things come from. If MD had monopoly on keyboard stuff group buys, you wouldn't have Zealios or the Alps Party, because they're too risky for a buisness.
Going to pass. Not any need for another keyboard, especially when I'm already eyeing a Novatouch and the Axios.
Still thinking about it. I have a few MX boards that aren't getting much use right now, so not sure if I need another one.
I was reading the comments on massdrop and matt3o comments that if this drop is successful a blackfox maybe in the works. Does anyone know any details about this?

I have also joined the GB buying a barebone. But will need to make custom plate after I get it. This is the layout I have in mind for the WhiteFox.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/uUnYS8A.jpg)
Matt3o has already confirmed that he will release CAD files, dimensions and tutorials right after the GB. And while it is fully programmable. I need to say it is undeniable :D

2016 - if it happens at all - is all the information we've been told for now. They've got to get through this GB first. :)
I don't know man I ordered 2 on the first day and then I realised it had wire based stabilizers and canceled my orders.

They are wire based as well.

There's still a wire that goes with the Cherry stabilizers, they're just not in place in the pic. If you look, the difference is with the faux-stems (or mounts) that the Cherry has, whereas Costar does not.

Ah, so all stabilizers have wires (or at least Cherry and Costar). I like those Cherry ones. Much easier to use.
What's so bad about Costar stabilisers?It's just a personal option, there is nothing wrong about them, I just don't like how they feel. In many aspects Costar stabs are better, easier to fix in case the stab insert gets pulled, but I don't like them. I'm not a big fan of plate mounted switches.

Try to change a key-cap with them and you will find it; in particular, the space bar, and just don't bother if the stem gets stocked inside a key-cap's socket, if so, be prepared with your pliers to get it out and to fix the bent wire. I am sorry but they just suck.
I am, but it's unlikely that I'll deviate from the truefox layout
would buy a whitefox in ISO or the TrueFoxIf you want one, you should post a WTB thread in the classifieds, or on MechMarket. Also, they haven't even shipped yet, so other than the manufacturer and matt3o, nobody has one.
Wants someone to sell? Prefer Zealio followed by Clears

Its odd to see people dislike Costar stabs. Usually it is people disliking the cherry stabs for feeling "mushy".
If it had function keys... I was pondering for ages on what to get but realized I wouldn't of used it much because I need my F keys.

Clipped cherry stabs feel as good as costar stabs with none of the keycap fitting issues

And clipping is so easy there's really no reason not to do it. :thumb: Costar is great if you never plan to swap caps, but if you do... :rolleyes:
I would join if Matias/Alps compatibility was offered. I've moved beyond Cherry.

This. After trying other switches, I just don't get excited about anything cherry-based. I don't DISlike them, it's just that I like everything else better: Topre, Matias, Romer-G all feel better to me. The only reason to stick with cherry is the keycaps (which is why I have a Novatouch at work).
I really wanted to get a white fox because I like the layout, but even Zealios (which I haven't tried, I'll admit) couldn't sway me.
If only whitefox had a housing like the LZ SQ, i would definitely buy it in a heart beat.

Sounds like a 75% is the perfect board for you
Getting vanilla, don't think I'll get used to the backspace positioning for truefox :(

You'd be surprised how easy it is to get used to the backspace in the \ | position

That sort of housing would significantly increase the cost, nullifying one of the main appeals of the group buy, which is affordability.

It does have function key(s). I mean, it's fully programmable so you can put layers anywhere you want.
