That D though :eek:We can simply remove it,if people don't like it.
Interested.
That said, ...
if at least the "D" didn't stand out like that - I could live with the D in (top-) case colour.
Love it!
How is the black inside the D achieved? Is it an insert, or is it painted?
If people hate that D,I'll remove it.[attachimg=1]
I'm a fan of the D since it reminds me of Initial D :)
interested in no logo version! how is the plate mounted to the case?

It being an insert allowing diff colors is very appealing as well.
Possible to get a half plate? :rolleyes:
Damn, this board looks really nice. Hope it takes a some time for the GB to start tho, all those GMK sets left me broke for a while.I am afraid we can not the color of gold....but i'll definitely try to make it work
Please consider a golden middle plate for extra bling.
A Brilliant but subtle design, we need more stuff like this.
Also noted it doesn't appear to have any RGB Lights - LOVE you to BITS.
About time some sane, grown up person decided to release a rather nice design before the masses, without cramming it full of Led Diarrhea, thanks for doing it :thumb: .

Is it possible to buy without a PCB? And is the USB location the same as winkeyless.kr A87 and GON's TKL PCBs?Joey I think it's a clone board, everything I've been reading on it suggests they're more or less the same.
Is it possible to buy without a PCB? And is the USB location the same as winkeyless.kr A87 and GON's TKL PCBs?Sorry,you can't buy without a PCB. Dr.D change the design and make the cable in-separated.I'll show some design pictures later.

Ohh yeah, would also like to know :0
Always think of sandwich having the plate on top layer like GON or wkl but that's not the case here.
Are the top and bottom plates available in the all the colours as well?
Looks pretty nice. Got any pics of the unassembled kit?
Interesting less is more mentality but having 5 case parts really contradicts that for some reason. However, it is rather pretty in the right colors I imagine.
can you add a place for metal weight insert just like octagon v2 so we can add a metal weight by ourselves.It's not hard to do that.

We used to have a weight designed in the bottom,but after the sample made we remove it. It's already very heavy.
I don't think we need to add a metal weight,what do you say?
:D :D :D

I'm ok buying without the PCB. I just hope the USB hole matches A.87/GON TKL.

It's a match. Are you making your own PCB? That's so cool.Yes I am :thumb: Originally for the mech27-tkl, but since it matches I might join this GB too!

Anyway, i am thinking about to have another kind of plate made. Maybe you can still have some use of the pcb.

can't the middle colored case be cut in the same dimensions than the other parts? (I think it would look better than being larger)I wouldn't change that at the moment. If i cut the middle case the same dimensions as the other case,then i don't think there will be a need for the middle case.That could be totally redesign.
Most of these comments seem to want it to be something generic like most TKLs.
I like the middle piece style and I think others do too. It's just the 'D' logo some people don't like.Most of these comments seem to want it to be something generic like most TKLs.
I really don't get this though. I mean there are sooooo many generic TKLs which more or less look the same and have the same features.
I like this idea since it's a nice and most of all different approach. I'm still not a fan of the TKL layout though.

If it was something other than a 'D', people may like the branding.I like the middle piece style and I think others do too. It's just the 'D' logo some people don't like.
But, if I understood the start post right, the D is just an optional logo and not a part of the case. It's really complaining about nothing at this moment. It's like "the PCB has LED support but I don't even use those... badly designed product".
I think branding, to some point at least, is very important. If you look at the currently available TKLs you quickly realize why that is the case: They all look alike. Even if the logo would be forced for some reason, I don't really see a problem with it as long as you can choose the color of it. A nice grey to grey contrast (or going for no contrast at all) can really change the looks of it and will take away the flashyness, if that's what you prefer.
Will the PCB fit switches upside down, like most backlit boards? If so, can this be discussed? I dont think anybody will use translucent keycaps anyway, and fitting the switches on the right position will grant better compatibility with cherry profile caps.
Most of these comments seem to want it to be something generic like most TKLs. I love the way this looks, D and all! Can't wait to join.
Any rough estimate for when this will go live?Very soon.There is no reason to delay. We have made samples.So maybe few days after i get the second sample and check it.

Any chance of white as a color? White with red or blue as the sandwich would look amazing IMO.we can't do white at the moment. Maybe silver? I dont know if anyone have do a white alu anode before,but i never seen a white one.

Can't decide on color! I have so many silver boards already T_T Maybe I will get black :D

Thinking:
Black, pink middle (like the sample)
Black, grey middle (subtle)
Grey, black middle (also subtle)
Silver, grey middle
grey, silver middle
So many options.

PC plate = polycarbonate? If so, I'd be interested.
If it is a 5mm polycarb plate with stabilizer cutouts on the underside I would also be interested in a PC and alum plate. But if its a 1.5mm PC plate that will be pretty flimsy.5mm polycarb plate would likely need to have some bits CNC'd to 1.5mm, which would probably make that a weak stress point.

Look at how the plate mounts to the middle piece:

I think the PC plate should be a 1.5mm~~ (not 5mm) partial plate. This is to allow for the PCB switch feel while allowing the mods stability.

You cant just have your PCB hanging off a 1.5mm PC plate with an air-gap, especially a partial plate. Its not strong enough.
Theres a reason why WKL and GON have another layer between the 1.5mm plate and the PCB..Show Image(http://img1.daumcdn.net/thumb/R1920x0/?fname=http%3A%2F%2Fcfile23.uf.tistory.com%2Fimage%2F274FFE4456D64228133A81)

We will see what Revo says. I am not sure what the thickness is.
Did I read that this was both Winkey and Winkeyless? It looks like the plate and PCB support both layouts, but all the renders show Winkelyess. Are the blockers optional in the top case?yep, just having two kind of topping case. no blockers. blockers dont look good.
5mm acrylic/PC plate would be a dream. I have a SPRiT one and the sounds from that board are so much better than those from my boards with metal plates.if it's a 60% i can do 5mm no problem. but 80% have to mounted the plate on the upper case or the lower case(middle case in this keyboard). in that case i cant do 5mm.

Hm, I might not be able to order then.Some pictures show the USB port sticking out :))
Revo can you show a picture of the PCB and where the xh2.54 has to go?
Or do you think a USB connector could still fit in that hole, if I make the PCB myself?

Darn it, fixed cable. Everything else was perfect. T_T
It means you can ALWAYS hook up your keyboard no matter what.it also means you lose the customizability aspect, which sorta goes against the idea of a custom keyboard. so i can understand why it would be a dealbreaker to some
tbh its not against the custom its just harder to do it. people make great cables for otd keyboards. same case here. anyway you can solder the cable on the pcb as well. just you have fix the cable on the pcbIt means you can ALWAYS hook up your keyboard no matter what.it also means you lose the customizability aspect, which sorta goes against the idea of a custom keyboard. so i can understand why it would be a dealbreaker to some

Is the hole for the USB the same size?not the same. you can buy extra pcb. the pcb wont be broken easily. even if you broke it somehow i can always repair it for you or sell you a new one.
If so, I don't really mind the fixed cable. I just want compatibility with other custom PCBs, in case I accidentally mess up the original
Revo: So you're changing the design and a USB port will no longer fit there?you can cut down the usb port and it will fit in....i dont think that's a problem for you...
Since I was going to be designing my own PCB for this, I need to figure out what I can do.

How wide will the hole for the USB port be?
How long will the GB ordering phase last? I need to understand if I can make my PCB work for this GB.2 weeks after the GB start
I have started the GB so this IC will be closed.
