HHKB will be a top piece option, so it will not be a blocker like the 5 degree case, but part of the top piece itself.Awesome! All the colors are nice, particularly like white and cosmos

Im not sure what the difference between blocked and true HHKB is. Will True HHKB require a 6u spacebar?
Had you considered using a 1-1.5-6.25-1.5-1 bottom row for True HHKB instead of a 6u spacebar? It’d be much easier to find keysets and stabs that fit, plus it’s pretty close to the traditional HHKB layout. It would require buying your PCB but since that’s being offered that isn’t much of a problem.Im not sure what the difference between blocked and true HHKB is. Will True HHKB require a 6u spacebar?
The True HHKB would be a 68 spacebar, and I would have to make adjustments to the PCB itself as well.
What are the color options going to look like? I suppose going the Henry Ford approach would be cheapest and just go for black :p
Interested! Poll done!Thank you!
Is there a reason it has a flat bottom with feet as opposed to a wedge shape? Is that a design choice or is it a limitation of the material.
Will there be an HHKB version?
Aside from that, always nice to see new materials. It's a pretty attractive piece of kit.

Color options will be voted on, and you can see in the poll, there are 7 different current colors to vote on. Let me know what you think of those options in the feedback!
I plan to offer 3 colors which will be the 3 most popular voted colors from the poll.
Looks beautiful and the idea is great, all for new materials and people experimenting with stuff - price is steep if it's close to 400 but at closer to the lower estimate I'm definitely picking up a white HHKB version.

Fair enough.Im not sure what the difference between blocked and true HHKB is. Will True HHKB require a 6u spacebar?
True HHKB is just in case people want the actual 6u spacebar layout. Most likely, the Blocked layout will be the option people will go for.

Regardless of if its offered in 7u or 6u HHKB layout, I'm definitely in! I've wanting a corian 60% case ever since Norbauer first mentioned it as a possible case material.
Very interested in this case. Using a new material attracts me a lot. :)
Thank you!
Assuming all the setup with manufacturing, and the numbers get high enough, the price will be closer to the $300 mark. The more sell, the cheaper I can offer them for though, as is the way with groupbuys!

Absolutely. Extremely cool regardless of price, the finishes are wonderful and I actually like all of the colours you've put forward - I'm loyal to white but Elderberry and Limestone are incredible and I'd love to have a shot at those in a later run.
Looking forward to further developments, although please do take your time because in my opinion with the CA66, Tokyo60, Chiwi, M60, M0110 etc the HHKB market needs a bit of a breather! Of course I don't expect anyone to put their own projects on hold because of potential saturation but you know, I figure it's still relevant enough to bring up.
Yeah! Of course! The HHKB layout will be an option, not the only option, along with the other option, which was Winkeyless. If enough people show interest, I will include multiple top piece options for people to choose from!

Sure, I just figure they sorta all fit in with the same crowd you know what I mean. Being able to offer regular 60, HHKB (blocked) AND WKL is a huge asset; even if you need to choose between the latter two, still very nice.
Can't get over how nice the white looks with the brass in your prototype. Honestly.
I'm interested in seeing a beadblasted white version.
The material should allow for a lot of unique and cool color choices. This initial design doesn't really grab my attention and the price is a bit steep. However, I'm sure you'll get this off the ground with this design and others will follow... I'll keep my eye out.
wow this looks stunning, count me in!
Definitely would be very interested in joining this gb. I'd really like to see some photos of the HHKB!
I'm in. It's refreshing to see innovation in this space!
Damnit I would have wanted to try it out at the Cbus meet. This looks like really cool project though!
I decided to skip out on the Cbus meet at the last moment ... because I was up all night building a kb hah.
Evening Prima + steel plate + Calm Depths = work of art
I’m definitely sold

Better get voting! Cameo White, Cosmos Prima, and Elderberry are in the top 3 right now!Im going to be sooooo happy if Elderberry makes it! :D

White, Elderberry, Limestone. Hoping not all of them run at the one time though as I can't afford all 3 haha
Submitted the form, this looks so awesome. Rare to see a new material that actually seems worth doing, I'm excited about this!

Me too! Probably one of my favorite colors in the list of options. :D

Dam, the real problem is choosing which color to go with. They're all really nice.

If anything, you could always get 3 Luminas, all different colors :) Another cool thing is that you can mix and match colors. I tried out black top with white bottom, and it does look pretty cool!
Pls add switch top removal option and place the in switch led to the south side if possibe!
So... Would you call this a...
Corian custom?
I wouldn’t buy a pcb if it came with north facing leds.
Some questions:
1. the plate ist custom for this case?
2. Normal 60% plates will not work?
3. the PCB offers a split space layout, but the plate does not, right?
Looks so nice, but I love split space. :)

Answers to your questions:
1. Plate is custom for this case, but the plate files will be open sources most likely so that people can do whatever layout they might want with this case.
2. Normal 60% plates will not work with this due to the way that the case is constructed.
3. PCB and Plate will both offer split spacebar, plate will be updated to reflect this, as the plates I have now are just standard. But yes, the plate and pcb will offer the same layouts.
I saved my $$$ to put down on the Rama M60-A, but after seeing this I am going to hold off. This looks spectacular!

Uh oh, this sounds like a might get an awesome split space super case. :) Looking forward to the GB!
Tossing in my 2cents that I saw these in person finally at the Columbus meet and I can say they are stunning. :thumb:
Man I really want to see samples of cosmos prima and elderberry. This gb got hypeeed
Would be in for winkeyless blockers! :thumb:
Would recommend looking at the Norbatouch project which started out with a Corian option but never made it past the prototype stage. It's supposedly very difficult to work with when doing any kind of details, so I would expect the blockers in a winkeyless or similar layout would add a lot to the overall project cost. I'd like a WKL myself but would even more so like to see this happen at all so would suggest stick to standard layout only for the first run and you can always look at a WKL support in round 2 if the first round is successful.Did you mean the Norbaforce? I don’t think Corian was ever considered for the Norbatouch.
For colour I voted Anthracite since you only allow one option but I'd also be happy to buy in Elderberry or White as well.

This is a very interesting concept! Excited to see how these turn out.

What screws are you using for the final? Any chance of hex heads or something sexier than the silver phillips?
Loving the new material and split space. I'm interested.
Also any chance of a solid Corian bottom/no diffuser?
EDIT: Voted for red + brass plate. Nice.
Check out https://www.boltdepot.com 's socket products section!
They have *everything*, with bulk pricing, and a bunch of different materials, and also a nice selection of black oxide coated fasteners ;)
Also, they're a USA company, and ship *super* fast.
I use them for all my custom screw/bolt needs.
I thought I'm done with 60% until I see this AMAZING case.
Love the white classy look!
I would love to fit YD60BLE in there!!
Will you be happy to share the plate data once the GB finished? So that people could make their own plate with it.

This has my vote for most anticipated mech keyboard project of 2018.
What is the weight of corian compared to aluminum?Looks like Corian weighs 63% as much as 6061 Aluminum.
It says any 60% PCB is compatible, but I presume that it needs to use the Corian plate to be of any use?It’s totally possible but you’ll need to desolder your PCB and rebuild it in the Lumina plate. Split space is supported based on the layout picture in this thread. Your current plate won’t work in the Lumina though.
I want to buy the case and transfer over my DZ60 PCB but seems like that won't be possible. It's the DZ60 Split space plate.
Any updates?
Only found this recently and filled out the survey belatedly since it's still open. I hope the project hasn't lost steam! Very interested in this!

I’m also wondering, this is a must buy for me so I hope it gets to group buy

Is there a distant possibility for a xd75 plate?He mentioned that he’s going to release the plate files so that anyone can make their own custom plate.
any possible date of when this will happen? in sept or something like that?
just filled out the survey.

This is so unique and looks awesome, I'm definitely interested!

Ordering from Singapore here. I believe you will invoice shipping separately?
This is a type of materials I have been waiting for a keyboard case. Sadly, I'm not into 60%. Hope there will be TKL in the future. Great board! :thumb:
