The more I see this board the more I am falling in love with it! Just saw the IC over on reddit & took another look, after that I believe I'm sold on this board. Been wanting a high end TKL for awhile even though I tend more towards 65% boards & this looks like the perfect one for me! Especially with you focusing in on the little details like making the screw holes more reliable in PC cases & trying to find a way to mitigate the problems some boards have with gasket mounting & screw-in stabilizers like kronograf also mentioned. I was blown away with the quality of my E6.5 & expect this to turn out even better given your focus on every little detail! Speaking of little details, depending on your design I don't know if screw in stabilizers will be an issue with gasket mounting on this board. I was able to use the gasket mount with GMK screw in stabilizers on my E6.5 & did not have any issues with it. So as long as the gasket get mounted the same as in the E6.5 there should be no issue with screw in stabilizers.

I thought I had an issue with screw-in stabs at first but it was actually a wire pop

the gasket seems to work fine with the protruding parts of the screw-in housings, just that visually it’s a bit unappealing (esp on a PC board) as it compresses more between the board edges and those particular pressure points. If he works out a way so the gasket has even pressure all around that’d be awesome.

ywcsam · « **Reply #66 on:** Wed, 16 October 2019, 19:16:43 »

I read the author’s post in Zfrontier and here is some clarification for those who didn’t quite understand the gasket structure like myself.

The rubber gasket is actually not shown in the exploded view. The metal perimeter part that goes between the plate and the bottom piece is not a gasket. That part goes on the bottom piece and provides a structure for the gaskets to sit on. The part is optional, meaning if you want gasket mounting, you would have to purchase that piece separately or you can opt for top mounting. Also, that piece is available in brass, polycarbonate, or aluminum.

Yes ,alu and pc also engraving at bottom since we already have side weight so cancel the weight(shape of logo )

Yes it should have winkeyless support. Although there will be a blocker between alt & ctrl.

Gosling_dkc · « **Reply #81 on:** Sun, 20 October 2019, 03:46:30 »

Welp this is the one! Found my first TKL GB! Those look so good. I will most definitely put myself down for PC. Shoot I would take just about any of them lol. Looking forward to finding out more. The saving begins!!

Also, filled out the IC form!! I am 100% in for one of these. I would LOVE -

All PC case top and bottom. With rose gold or brass plate. And Rose gold accents.

Many more options I would love lol. Thats just my top. But loving that black and pink render you posted recently... SO MUCH GOOD! lol.

Going to miss that crown weight since it's something I've always loved with your boards, regardless I think this will be the TKL I go for next. Can't wait.

I also don't understand what row 1/2/3 ano color means either on the IC

It has an F13 key, so no h87a. Maybe would work with the upcoming h88a?
