Particularly I can understand a PCB not being in the kit, but IMHO it would be easier if a plate were included
Also I think it needs more renders
Looking forward to see more. I know you estimate high, but 400usd for a traymount barebone seems above the line.

Agreed, $400 is way too much for what it is. Considering other GB's provide PCB's and a plate...
Looks like a pretty nice board, I really love the weight but, even if the price won't be $400, without plate and PCB it looks very expensive but maybe that's just me.
GL with your GB though.

The manufacturing cost itself is $ 300 for 50 units and $ 290 for 75 units. In addition to this, the shipping fee and the expenses I spent on prototype manufacturing and the profit ($ 20 to $ 30) to cover the cost of designing the next keyboard are added. Shipping fee etc are not disclosed, but if you expect price, please refer to this place.

This manufacturing cost sounds very high for just a case + brass weight. Take a look at Mekanisk's latest IC post (LeandreN). They're estimating $250 for the Fjell R2 case, and I'm sure that's taking some margin on the sales (meaning the manufacturing cost is probably more like $200). Not to mention the quality expected of Mekanisk products. How many different vendors did you approach with this?
May I ask where the TAINT part of the name came from?
Top view is quite similar to DC60 and Fjell :)
Weight looks interesting!
I almost like the brass weight without the "Uncertainty" engraving.
Personal opinion, that script type font kind of is not... pretty to say the least 😅.
And I'm also super into the sleek minimalist look the rest of the board offers.

If you and the other wish so much, the stamp of "Uncertainty60" will disappear and only the "無" stamp will remain. "無" is a key feature of this keyboard, and if it is lost, it loses important features of this keyboard.
Google translate tells me that 無 just means "no" or "nothing". What's the backstory or meaning to you?
The top is very similar to DC60/Fjell (not a bad thing by any means). The weight design reminds me of the Fusion60 weight.
I gained cooperation from KBDfans, a famous and familiar company. I do not do everything, but most processes are done by them, so I can relax and join the GB.
Q: Will you have this on reddit.
A: No. I am publishing to geekhack, Japanese twitter and Discord server, KBDfans Discord server and my instagram. Since I do not know how to use Reddit, I felt it was not good to post in this state. If possible, I hope that more people can share this IC with your friends.

You can post this on: https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/ since it an IC to gain some interest.
Here is an example of a keyboard one: https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/axugxa/ic_tr_wireless_split_keyboard_with_mouse_stick/
Hope this helps!
Offering blockers for HHKB and TKL forms?TKL? Is it about WKL?
Offering blockers for HHKB and TKL forms?TKL? Is it about WKL?
Unfortunately, we can not support WKL or HHKB on schedule.
...any news?
Hi, I will respond to your request.
This is...Add WKL and HHKB design.
I kept refusing corner blocker. Because I don't like the appearance very much.
But Although it is a tray mount, I modified it to separate it into a top case and a bottom case.
By purchasing an additional top case, you can freely choose the layout by replacing your favorite plate and PCB on the market.
(This is the merit of tray mount)
The problem is now.
I need to ask for additional prototypes.
However, the current factory has not yet delivered a perfect prototype for me. (Paid in March)
If this design is good for you, order a prototype, and if the addition of WKL or HHKB is not very important, I will open GB soon.

Hi, I will respond to your request.I think the current design looks pretty good. I also think you should add WKL and HHKB options since a lot of people like those layouts, and thus, many more people will be interested in buying this case if you add them.

Looks good. What factory will you order the prototype from?
Do you want "Uncertainty60" Sculpture?
Minimalism people not want it.
("無" is will run reliably)
I want to geek hack user's opinion.
How's it going ? any close to an ETA ?
This has evolved quite a bit since the IC was first published. It's looking pretty good now aesthetically.
Are you planning on the 6 standard tray mount points? Or will you do 4 or 5 post, or have removable posts like Grid 600 and newer Mekanisk boards?
looking really good with the removable posts! just want to see more of the polycarbonate version, now
Is there an estimated price? And I'm so confused rn, which keyboard was the one that cost $175 for prototype and 15 of it was for shipping? Fellow users pls clear my confusion.
Depending on price (once announced) I'd be in for both a polycarb + alu.We will do our best for the price.
Any updates?Proto had some design defects.
The design is undoubtedly impressive. The only matter is the vendor. I experienced once with KBDfans when I was ordering the hot swap PCB from them. It took me 3 weeks for a wrong tracking product, then more than 2 months for a regular hot swap PCB to be shipped to my house. Then it has turned out the package I received wasn't the pcb I wanted. In stead, it was a small square box with a piece of something that I don't even what it is. More than 3 months for unexpected stuff then I swear to God I will never come back to them ever again.Yes, your bitter experience.
...is this gonna go somewhere?
