interest. keyboard is what pcb ?The PCB would be a clueboard PCB (designed by skully), http://clueboard.co
this is leopold 660 lay out ? and leopold 660 pcb ?
Filled out the form, and am definitely interested. I was disapointed to find it it wasn't a Leopold FC660C that it was for, but I guess a Clueboard with Zealios will do :pMakes me want to build one with Zealios 62g as well :p
Wow. Amazing
Out of curiosity, why are the inner borders rounded, while the keyboard design itself is pretty sharp
On the pro side, it's a lot like Cherry keycaps, where they have sharp bottoms, yet the top of the keycaps are rounded, similarly this keyboard has pretty sharp bottoms, but the gaps are rounded
I just wonder whether an all-sharp keyboard could look more appealing, with GMK keycaps (or other Cherry keycaps)
New Renders!Still pretty. I need those caps in my library soon though.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/6SHVXD0.jpg)Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/75tcNbg.jpg)
Mostly that has to do with CNC tooling. The smallest corner you can make is the radius of your cutting tool, and it would be prohibitively expensive to cut those with sharp corners.
Production costs aside, I think you have an interesting idea. It could look pretty good to have sharp GMK caps with nice crisp corners.
I thought about designing a keyboard that's just drilled into a solid block of aluminium, so keyboard's frame and plate would be one, but it requires too much dedication and timeNot possible unless you had a hole somewhere to slot the PCB in :-* wouldn't be too hard to design imo (with previous experience).

Will this be compatible with fc660m pcb?
Was there ever a discussion of a diffuser to utilize the under mounted LEDs?
I'm all in for the Alps model down the pipe.
What kind of ballpark pricing would we be looking at for a case like this?^ asking the important question
We got the manufacturing samples back! The grey needs to be reworked (it didn't match the first sample,) but the Silver and the Orange look fantastic! They fit together well and everything feels nice and solid.

If you're gonna be at the KiiboHD meetup on Saturday you'll have a chance to handle one of these yourself. They're pretty hefty boards, and very solid.
Looks great. I don't see the acrylic spacer in the new renders and hope that will be an option. This sure beats the hell out of the cases with the blue jean button sized rivets, that is what kept me away from this board in the first place.

If the drop is successful and it does go live on MD are you going to offer the PCB, switches and stabs along with the case? I'm sure you could greatly increase your success if this is available as an all in one buy or pick and choose what pieces you want! Would love to see a kit offered. Also, would like to know if this will be an option so I can snag one off your site before they go out of stock if not!
Edit: I know there are MOQs but still one can hope :) I do not own any clueboard parts because of the previous acrylic case and this would get me 100% on board with you all. I would even pass up the RAMA & Jchan collaboration on their 65% for this beaut. Their price point is also around $150 I believe :)
I would pay around $250 easy for a kit.

I actually have switched to flat top screws and I'm countersinking the top plate now. I have pictures and a new store in the works where I'll announce it, but for now if you order an acrylic case that's what you get. The big ugly screws are gone. :)If the drop is successful and it does go live on MD are you going to offer the PCB, switches and stabs along with the case?

Yes, when the buy is live you'll be able to pick up everything you need.
Good evening everyone, I'm currently in the MD gb for the Red Scarf 68 which ends tomorrow. Can anyone provide me details on why it'd be better to go w/ a Clueboard? I hope I can receive responses before the MD gb ends tomorrow. Thanks to anyone that can help me.
Thanks Chuckdee, I'll walk away from MD gb & go w/ w/ the Clueboard & new case as soon as it's available. It's that Skully will be easy to get in contact w/ if I run into any type of issue. Plus, I've talked w/ you on Reddit before, so I trust your word too. Again, thanks ChuckDee.Good evening everyone, I'm currently in the MD gb for the Red Scarf 68 which ends tomorrow.

I have the same concerns- but chose to go clueboard based on research. I think that the extra space is worth the loss in keys on the right side- the air gap will help to hit those two keys, and I can program them to what I want. I'm not interested in the lighting, so that's a lot of complexity for something I don't need. In addition, I have the advantage of having a Red Scarf II+ Ver.b coming, so it didn't make sense for me. And I want to support Skully, and he gives a lot of support on the build from what I've seen, and has excellent customer service and a solid product. He's a small business owner, with the ups and downs, but I think the pros outweigh the cons.
That was my reasoning, in any case.
