Just a follow-up with my response from keebtalk, I really think you should go with a bottom side USB port for the pcb. Hiney is going to introduce a model like that eventually anyway, I don't think it would be a bad idea.
Id love to see some AEK 6.5u support on the alps plate/pcb :thumb:
edit: handles are underrated :))

What do you mean by handles? And I would rather not add 6.5u spacebar support, mainly because I think it could undercut sales of the UEK, another board that I am working on currently. I have been working on that board for longer than I have on the BnB87, and would not want to cause issues with that group buy. :)

handles on the sides in some form, so its easier to lift.
Like this for example:
Definitely interested in this gasket wave hopefully this board will be WKL with non removable blockers.
I'm interested in the polycarbonate version. :)
Looks good. I would be interested in a PC one with PC plate but only if ISO is offered.
Interested in a polycarbonate case & plate! Would this be open to Canada too through the US buy?

Well, I did announce that it would not be ISO, and that it would not be for sale in countries other than the US and China, unless a proxy would like to step forward.

Well, you said that it could change depending on the interest. That is what I am doing, showing my interest.Show Image(https://emoji.tapatalk-cdn.com/emoji55.png)
I like it, but I do find the wider side bezels to be an odd choice. I think it would look a lot nicer if the side bezels were brought in to match the top and bottom, or the top bezel was extended to match the sides.
Can you explain what gasket mounted means. I've never heard of that.
gaskets eh
I'd love to have a pc tkl. Would the pcb support rgb underglow or would I have to get a c3 pcb if I wanted that?

PCB will have 18 RGB underglow LEDS.
I forgot to mention that the PCB will be QMK compatible, of course :).
I would really like 6.25U space support. I'd even be willing to get my own plate made, just need the PCB to support it.
Will there be an option for 2u backspace?
I always felt the 2x 1u there was a smaller keyboard thing.
What material is the rubber gasket? Nitrile rubber, silicone or something else? If you don't know the english just type the chinese and we can find out.
in for pc w/ brass plate, oh just realized its not 2u backspace, would def want that
Hey Lbibass,
I am using the white mode to read, and some texts have some issues. (guess its intentional)
Why the choice of a small brass weight instead of a large one?
what about no cutouts, id rather see brass than pcb

I second this. Unless the pcb design is aesthetically superior to the brass plate, which often is not.

I miss understood the cutouts strawpoll. I'd rather see brass in those areas as your renders show rather than pcb as well!
Nice pc case !
Render looks awesome
dope
PC case is really attractive.
Love it.
nice
nice
Glad to hear you like it, Remsky!
am interest
edit: Any chance for PVD coatings for the plate (pref. silver, black?)
I would totally join the GB when it comes around. This combines two types of cases that I want to try into one. A PC case and a gasket mount case. I am really excited for this one. :D
Nice pc case !
Render looks awesome
Thanks! I only did the top two renders, Tesletron did the ones you see below those two. He's much better at renders than I am.

Correct me if I am mistaken but the PC case will have kind of a milky hue just like the E6.5 does, right? The renders show it to be clearer than it actually will be, right?
Hi there! Extremely new to this forum so excuse me if I'm not following some sort of procedure, but I'm definitely interested in this case. Would you be supplying the PCB as well? I was thinking about purchasing Hineybush's h87alps board but if you're already supplying the PCB, I guess I wouldn't need to!
For cutouts, you need to put no cutouts as option!

Yup, that was a mistake. I have decided to go with no cutouts. I prefer the aesthetic of the brass underneath the polycarbonate than the PCB.
The space between Esc and F1 appears noticeably wider than the other F row breaks, as I see often in renders. Will this be the same on the physical case?

That is the standard layout, F1 directly over 2 with 1u between Esc and F1 and then 0,5u between F blocks themselves.
Is it normal for it to take this long for pricing :o the wait is deadly to me
interested

Hey, sorry about that! I missed this. Anyways, I updated the post. Pricing updates. Still working everything out, including the possibility of custom boxes. pricing is still up in the air.

With how poorly ALF boxes have gone in the past (ie. month long delays to fix the boxes for the Renova X3, please don't do custom boxes.
If anything I've learned from the ALF GB's I've participated in, keep it as simple as possible expect MASSIVE delays and expect a product that won't fully meet your expectations (at least on the first try).
Thanks Lbibass! Super excited for the keeb! Save one for me !Is it normal for it to take this long for pricing :o the wait is deadly to me

Glad that you got pricing info from Alf! Super excited for this board, really digging your designs! <3
What is the basic plate? Brass? Aluminum? PC? Are there some options?
This looks great, I'm deciding between this and the KBD8X MKII but leaning more towards this due to gasket mount, Would you also do a matching numpad in the future?
Man, between this and the kbd8x is like deciding between a Corolla and a WRX STI

Apart from the fact that this a gasket mount setup, 8X is a very good product for the price it has.
Any news for the good people of geekhack? I'm Jonesin' for a proper alps TKL
Where is the prototype!!! :-X :o I'm so excited for this, been holding off on purchasing any other keeb so I can get this one :D :p

With the current situation and drama at Alf, I've decided to find a new factory.
This will be put on hold and I will soon lock the thread until I can find a new factory.

Wow that's ****ed up. At least, I hope you can refund your prototype :(
