Changes from Prototype to production model:

• Internal rails to try to prevent warping
• Moved bumpon locations
• Alignment rails changed to alignment pins
• I like black colored screws, you guys like black colored screws? I got some regular steel screws if you want that instead, pm me.

I'm supposed to reserve this for update yeah? yeah.

Hi all, if you are an international buyer ordering more than 1 board, Shopify will not calculate double the volume I'm afraid.  I'll need to invoice extra for the additional shipping invoice.  I'm sorry for the error, I did not think Shopify would handle shipping this way.

Approved (and updated subject to include [GB] tag)

[Gepriester]

Awesome board! And thanks for doing international shipping

Btw. is there a chance for you to share the plate files? I'd really love to cut my own ISO plate for it.

[treeleaf64]

Yay

[whykayallday]

Just a quick question: it looks like the plate is compatible with jane v2 based on the max's build stream. Can you confirm?

Shoot. Didn't see that. Thank you!

Black and space grey out of stock so bought Red. Now have to wait; looking forward to July lol. Oh damn, I didn't see I had to pick the right plate. Can I still change the color by contacting you?

[yoshifan151]

Picked up one in black, is there any chance to get the other cone feet? Or only the 15mm ones?

Hi, kbdfans sells cone feet that use M4 screws, those should work. 

As for the gb, the prototype feet will be used for the final product.

Hey iNViSiBiLiTi, I don't know if you saw my comment earlier. But I made an order for red thinking the black and space grey are out of stock because I didn't change the plate color. I would like the space grey board with Ingris text engraving instead. would you be able to change my order? I have emailed you to youngkeyboards@gmail.com with my order number. Thanks

Yes, I've cancelled the original order and reinvoiced you.  I can't change the order manually since a discount code was applied.

GLWGB, in for a red one

Just a heads up, the h87a is mini usb, not micro.

[pr0ximity]

Invis so hot right now

Oops, brain fart.  Thanks for the correction.

[PigeonsLikeBread]

Oops, brain fart.  Thanks for the correction.

No problem. BTW, does the PC plate have the same flex cuts as the aluminum plate? I know the prototype PC plate was different, but I wasn't sure what the production version would be like.

Ah, I've realized I've never posted pictures of the polycarbonate plate.  The flex cuts are not there, there are only small cutouts near the spacebar.  The polycarbonate plates are clear plastic sandblasted to be a frosted finish.

GLWGB invis

[iNViSiBiLiTi]

Boards are not out of stock, I've removed the plate color option.  There was never an intention to mix and match the plate colors.  I've chosen specific plate colors for specific boards to make sure QC happens easier. 

[packman86]

Great price for anyone looking to get a quality WKL TKL.

[Mcnos]

Make cone feet great again

[trg1234]

I love invis and his board! glwgb

[hkhawk]

I assume the red is going to be a similar color to the plate in the proto?

[iNViSiBiLiTi]

Yup, Factory recommended me use their stock red, and so did my friends.  The red is pretty famous in the community fwiw. 

[iNViSiBiLiTi]

Hi guys, so I've only planned for this gb to go on for the next week, till the 23rd.  We're about 22/80 orders in.  Most likely looking forward to cancelling the gb if I don't miraculously get ~60 spots.  I'll be getting ready for the refunds when the week is over.  Hoping Shopify and Paypal comply. 

[lemongrassii]

That's a shame, was really looking forward to this one. But oh well, here's hoping for a christmas miracle still

[noorejji]

Do a version without the feet.

[treeleaf64]

Cone feet are perfectly fine and i think these ones are removable if you dont like them

[catamscott]

can't believe there are only 22 sold so far, this is such a nice board and a breath of fresh air in the current keyboard landscape.

GB's with classic, high quality TKL's always sell out. Always. There's nothing fresh about cone feet - that's the point, and also the problem. It's a shame to see invisibiliti's work not go anywhere.

[iNViSiBiLiTi]

Do a version without the feet.

like a regular angled keyboard?

[ogp3]

If I was in a better financial place I would've definitely joined this buy! Really sad to see that this gb isn't getting the love it deserves  All the best to you iNViS, hope to see maybe a revived run in the future

Yes.

Respect to you anyway if you're staying true to your vision.

[dom]

GLWGB! The price is really excellent!

BTW: I would update the main GB links from "https://invis-board.myshopify.com/" to "https://invis-board.myshopify.com/products/igris-v1" because some people can think this GB is over already! GL!

[LazyJackfruit]

And here I thought my hunt for a TKL was over. If a second version were to run in the future, consider me interested.

I could definitely see the board hitting MOQ if it were to tailor towards more mainstream elements in TKL designs nowadays. I'll definitely keep an eye out for invisibiliti's boards now, in any case.

Thank you for the kind words but unfortunately, I think that's the nature of this kind of board.  If I wanted more mainstream elements, it wouldn't have ended up looking like this.  It just seems the interest for this old school aesthetic is just not there.  I can see myself selling 30 units, but I'd reiterate the price is not cost saving whatsoever, especially at the factory I've chosen. 

[yuejia]

It’s really Nice!! That is so beautiful!!

[iNViSiBiLiTi]

I've decided to cancel the group buy a day early and started to process the refunds.  Most of you were from Geekhack, for those who ordered from Reddit or Discord, I'll reach out to you via other means.  Sorry to everyone that was excited to join.  Hope you guys have a Merry Christmas and happy New Years.  Happy Holidays ya'all, stay warm and safe during COVID!

[PigeonsLikeBread]

[Full]

Got my refund, very sad to hear, I hope you can find a way to run this board in the futura! Merry christmas!

[Aiwanei]

Sad to get refund by I completely understand, I hope this board will someday get a second chance.

[Gepriester]

Thanks so much for your work anyway!

[keyboardkrill]

Major bummer, but that's the way life is sometimes. Look forward to your next project Invis.
