What a striking design! I really love the yellow/black/white case (I'm a Yinzer what do you expect?

))! I think it would go perfect with JTK Yolch or GMK Serika. Gonna have to keep an eye on this one for sure. While I have gotten away from using 60% boards lately, I always wanted a high end custom 60% as those are the boards that really drew me into this rabbit hole. I've seen a few designs lately that really caught my eye, but this one might be enough to get me to reach for my wallet!

how long will the gb last? bc i just joined key65 and have to wait til the end of oct. to join dracula so i'm gonna need til about the 9th to have the money...and i think other ppl are in a similar spot. September and October have been rough on our wallets.

I've seen thesis post a picture of a half plate, will that be an option?

jaang · « **Reply #6 on:** Sun, 13 October 2019, 17:30:02 »

love this!

nasp · « **Reply #7 on:** Sun, 13 October 2019, 17:33:37 »

Does this take a universal 60% PCB or will it be a custom for the case itself?

Sissy · « **Reply #8 on:** Sun, 13 October 2019, 18:34:35 »

Would love a green and Purple version but regardless super clean and interested.

Yes, universal 60% PCB will fit it. But since it is a fixed-layout keyboard, so we prepared PCB with fixed switch footprints. We think it looks simpler and nicer.

will the manufactory be Percent Studio as luo mentioned before?

Nope, this project will handle by me and the manufactory behind is faster and better.

caronte0 · « **Reply #13 on:** Mon, 14 October 2019, 07:19:50 »

The design looks stunning, i really like it. Would love to see it in regular 60 or 65%. Also would be great if you could add to increase the height (for my personal taste 5º is a little bit low)

Mcnos · « **Reply #14 on:** Mon, 14 October 2019, 08:20:41 »

What plate options will be available?

Would love a Polycarb or Half Plate option

VXQN · « **Reply #15 on:** Tue, 15 October 2019, 06:27:11 »

I would say leave the height as-is, so many boards are 7, 8, 9 degrees, and having it a little lower helps to differentiate. The user can always prop the board up a little more if they want to, but you can't "prop it down".

PC plate nope, we are thinking about half plate with the universal layout as add on.

What is the vender in US (Please not Kono Store)

LuiKang · « **Reply #18 on:** Wed, 16 October 2019, 09:49:14 »

Would love to see RGB glow, either side or underglow. PC bottom would also be sufficient.

_PixelNinja · « **Reply #19 on:** Wed, 16 October 2019, 10:29:41 »

It would have been awesome if there were a way to finish the backweight so it would match the accent color (plate)... My only true issue with the case is the the bottom front being raised in relation to the back — I never understood that design choice ever since seing the private GB units. Other than than that I love the design.

victorpre · « **Reply #20 on:** Sun, 20 October 2019, 17:19:57 »

Hello, is there any chance of adding split spacebar support?

Looking forward to this board

Will we be able to swap plate and case color. So if I wanted to do black case + red plate would that be an option or only the 3 presets given

How heavy is the prototype?

Moridin · « **Reply #34 on:** Wed, 23 October 2019, 04:46:07 »

So I guess I need to buy 2 now. One for GMK Phosphorous and one for GMK Lunar. 😉

Love the design, just hoping the price will be in my budget.
