Is the case going to be injection molded? Guessing from the visible internal ribbing...

Watching

I'm looking for a 60% keyboard with HHKB layout and multiple devices switching

What layouts will there be? How about plate options? I’m more inclined towards the shiny anodizing than pc to be honest

You can find anodizing Mojo60 on www.melgeek.com

Very beautiful case. Would be awesome if hotswap. I could never find a hotswap bluetooth keyboard...

nguyenhimself · « **Reply #9 on:** Tue, 15 October 2019, 01:35:22 »

A very interesting look, and I'm all for Bluetooth builds.
Does this support a 60% layout with arrow keys?

>MG profile double-shot ABS keycaps
Can I buy this without the keycaps?

infinitykw · « **Reply #10 on:** Tue, 15 October 2019, 02:20:23 »

a pvd pc? Sounds very interesting to me. Can you introduce its features a bit?

I guess probably no, but hhkb and wkl will be nuts

Willhurt2008 · « **Reply #13 on:** Tue, 15 October 2019, 05:48:06 »

Would love to have HHKB as well, maybe add blockers as an option (like grid600 had)

hahihuhei · « **Reply #14 on:** Tue, 15 October 2019, 05:53:16 »

Wait wait wait, this is a complete keyboard with KEYCAPS? I bought the MG Ember for my next 60% build… hmm… maybe will still get this, lol

Only standard 60% layout, but you can replace the PCB with GH60 pcbs, and you can't buy it without keycaps

Just out of interest... how many of these are you planning to sell? I mean it is beautiful, but what is the breakeven point after paying for the injection moulding tooling?

about $120, after this Ember editon, we will make some basic colours case with basic RGB keycaps, so the price will be lower.

I am not OP,
but let me summarise what I have learnt so far:

This keyboard is shipped as a complete build, which means there is no soldering needed for buyers.
There are 2 colour options:
- Smoke black polycarbonate case + MG Ember Dusk keycaps
- PVD coated(or some other plating?) polycarbonate case + MG Ember Dawn keycaps
Bluetooth Wireless + Wired Mode PCB, with QMK firmware
60% ANSI layout (same as Poker 3)
Steel plate
Case and injection moulded, and compatible with GH60 PCB
USB-C breakout board at the right, to ensure the port is accessible even with the thick forehead
On/off or wired/wireless toggle switch(?)
GB around mid Nov

That’s some competitive pricing for everything except the switches

I’m definitely in the minority here but I’ve been waiting so long for a custom alternative to an Anne Pro. I love this!

Thank you for this. Didn't realize this was a complete build.... interesting. Do you know what kind of switches will be available?

Btw,
do we still get the MOJO logo at the back? (almost no clear rendering on the back)
also do we still get the bottom wording? (cannot find them in any render)

I don't know why DROP can't ship it to Germany, but our official website will sell it later, so if you buy it on Drop, just buy it, if you can't, pls wait weeks.

You can find anodizing Mojo60 on www.melgeek.com

I really like the look of this, but I have one question. Have you provided the PCB to testers to test BT on a wife range of systems? BT ca66 and BT G60 both seems to be unreliable.
