Lily - HHKB 60%

[tactilesbad]

It would be nice to have ISO support for once, it would be easier to involve vendors in the EU...

iso support on a split bs 60 with hhkb blockers honestly is gonna look like ****

and it is in no way related to finding an EU vendor. tons of ansi only board were carried by EU vendors in the past so I don't see the point

No one discusses your personal preferences, I hope you can understand that others also have their tastes... perhaps different from yours.

In fact I used the term "easier" and not "necessary". I hope I'm not the only one who thinks it's at least bizarre that a plateless board doesn't offer a universal PCB.

I feel you, it's the second board from OP I pass because of no split left shift. He talks about not wanting to lose functionally making a full right shift option, but he's OK for us to lose NUBS key.

Oblotzky Industries has been confirmed as the EU vendor.
Main post updated with videos by Mig Beauregard, Markerchun, and DBOKEY.

Oblotzky seems to be on holiday until march 18th. So far lily isn't listed under active group buys..
Is it safe to wait or are there any caps on the number of units? I am itching to pull the trigger

It's safe to wait.

[skeyo]

Ill see when Oblotzky comes back from vacation to somehow cancel the order and reorder it.

it's not a matter of taste, it looks objectively bad, it throws the symmetric look entirely off.
being an enthusiast board I'd think the designers kinda wants it to look good?

"it's not a matter of taste", proceed to talk about taste

and to buy this board free from inferior layout constraints

I mean it's only a few changes on the pcb and plate.
It's just a shame that it's not offered by default.

Can’t believe I missed the GB for this after waiting so long for it. Not great news to wake up to. If anyone has a silver they can part with hit me up.

[cicada]

Same, looking for a lilac Lily as well 

[Yus]

missed the GB 

[nathanchere]

I totally missed this too... but seeing that it's yet another 'group buy' where they post here until they get your money then only communicate on Discord, I'm fine with missing it.

Afaik Gok doesn't have a Discord server. He's posted/update the main post of the thread several times with updates throughout the IC process. Then it went to GB with the vendors, and they give out updates. This is an IC thread, once it went to GB there isn't really much else to post here. There also isn't a GB thread on Geekhack that I am aware of.

R2 hype lessgo

[paincroustillant]

will there be a second run ?

[ivanh98]

yes - announced on TypePlus discord

[Adelscott]

still no ISO ?

[ivanh98]

still no ISO ?

everything the same - just color changes: "The R2 group-buy will retire at least two of the old colorways(least favored in R1) and introduce new ones (including at least 1 powdercoat finish), while keeping the rest of the design unchanged. The free set of Typeplus x YIKB stabilizers in R1 will also be included in the R2. We are also exploring the option of an EC build." -from TypePlus discord

[DirtyGingy]

I'm so happy that R2 is happening. It's an amazing design and I know people have been wanting it. I'm not a 60% guy, let alone an HHKB guy. So, I do need to ask:

Is there any way Lily can have a TKL sibling some day? The design language and engineering is peak.

All I know is that there will be a hhkb alice board called "Lilium" has similar design language. You can find pictures of it on gok's instagram.
