Hi! Apologies, updated the images to indicate spacebar sizing.

Base kit as 6.25 and 7. (extended gold pack too).

Spacebars kit now shows all the sizes.

Are there any details on the EC kit for this, like what layouts the plate supports and plate thickness? I didn't want to drop $90 on it and discover it won't work how I wanted.

The top one is surely more handsome and advanced looking.

It seems to me that quieter would be much better.

The western e(onom1 is actually very very simple.

Colonialism is the core of what modern capitalism is.

Produce very little yourself, but if you have extractive colony you can pull resources and labor from, English parasite off India, Capitalism works.

The majority of what made western economies wealthy, post ww2, had been its ability to simply BORROW.

It's able to do this by issuing Debt, (a piece of Paper).

But because US inherited total dominion of the former European colonies,  WE became the Parasite King.

Our inheritance of the Mid-east, we control the entirety of oil wealth, all of the oil sold has to be dollars and all the dollars MUST go through Western banking.    They had no true sovereignty under UK/Europe,   they had no sovereignty under US.

Because the Epst3e3ez class decided they'd rather have private-corporations financialize the entirety of the nation, RATHER than a strong central state, The US became divided into various fiefdoms.

This is the OPPOSITE of efficiency, but it WORKED because we could print, and simply BUY all the "Stuffs."


Ultimately, our monetary system became US prints monopoly money, Europe buys that monopoly money with their own monopoly money,  Everyone else buys monopoly money with a "small portion of their own for settlement" but mostly with REAL GOODS.


As technology is transferred and re-invented naturally, in states of excess energy, it simply democratizes itself.   There are choke-points on certain natural resources, but there is no true choke-point on technology.

We've reached a point where the rest of the world has decided, they don't need to buy our monopoly money anymore.


NOW we're panicked, because we don't know how to do anything for ourselves, as that wouldn't be colonialism. The only way our system could continue is if we enslaved south america and canada.

There is no other way to maintain the system as is.


Capitalism is supppppose to evolve into Socialism. If it does not, it will Stall + Destroy itself by adding successive barriers to development through rent-seeking.

They've decided at least for now,  we MUST continue the only thing we've been doing for the last 80 years, Rent-Seeking.

Alrite, it's either, the potensic atom 3,   OR  the dji mini 5 pro.

Now, Tp4 is pretty gud with spatial awareness, don't think he'd need object avoidance per-se,  buhhh, if Tp4 crashes 1 drone, that's $500, and if had to buy another drone, that's the same price as the DJI with object avoidance.


SO..... It kindaaaa makes sense to get the mini 5 pro?

Dji software seems also of course more mature.

Thoughts.. $680 vs $1150.?? The big bundle price with batteries.

hello, just found out about this board. is this still happening? i would be very interesting in buying this once it comes out given the amount of time its taken to engineer


Yes, it’s still happening!

We showed a working sample of it at Computex last month. We developed new low-profile ALPS switches for it, which is why it took so long. Low profile switches with full travel were an extremely difficult technical challenge.

I’ll post an update when it’s ready to ship, but it is still happening.

Thanks for your question.


First of all, thank you for the update. After all these years, it’s genuinely reassuring to hear that the project is still alive and wasn’t quietly abandoned.

That said, I have to admit that your latest post raised more questions than it answered. For many of us, this keyboard has been something we’ve been looking forward to for well over a decade, so hearing about new low-profile ALPS switches was quite unexpected.

Would it be possible to share a more comprehensive update? Even a few photos from the Computex prototype or a short summary of where the project stands would go a long way toward reassuring the community.

One of the most exciting aspects of this project was never just the keyboard itself. Earlier in the project there were plans for:
  • MX and classic ALPS compatible PCB/plate
  • modern PBT keycap set with broad layout support for the ALPS community.

Those two things alone would be game changers for many ALPS enthusiasts.

The mention of low-profile switches naturally raises a couple of important questions:
  • Will the keyboard still support standard MX switches and classic full-height ALPS (SKCM/SKCL / Matias) switches as originally planned?
  • Is the standalone PBT keycap set still planned?
  • If so, will those keycaps remain compatible with classic ALPS and Matias switches? Low-profile keycaps are typically much shorter, so many of us are wondering whether this represents a completely new ecosystem.

I think many people here have been patiently holding onto their favorite vintage ALPS switches for years, waiting for the day there would finally be a modern keyboard and a modern keycap set worthy of them. That’s why this particular point is so important.

Again, thank you for continuing the project. I think a more detailed update would answer a lot of questions and restore confidence after such a long wait.

These pastel builds look fantastic — clean, soft, and full of personality. It’s always fun seeing how different layouts like compact, split, and custom boards can share the same color theme yet feel unique. This is the kind of creativity that keeps the keyboard hobby inspiring.survival race

good luck with the project, but hasn't this named already been used for a board?

Thankyou! yes unfortunately we found out a bit late that an FRL tkl called Eclipse exists too, we tried diffrentiating the 2 by calling ours Myrkvi(Eclipse) Eclipse is the romanized name. So functionally it's "Myrkvi (Eclipse)" rather than a straight Eclipse-vs-Eclipse naming clash. Appreciate the heads up though!
