KBDfans has also agreed to proxy this board

Bregoli · « **Reply #151 on:** Thu, 29 April 2021, 11:08:10 »

There seems to be a person on zFrontier who is copying the Swiss design. They never contacted me and I don't approve of this. Also its clearly a copy as they even went as far as to replicate the holes placed as close they could...
If you know these people please ask them to stop. Also their motive seems to be because they don't know if Swiss will be available in china: It will be! KBDfans has agreed to proxy it.
Link to the zFrontier page, I do ask you to please not harass or in anyway be mean to the creator. https://www.zfrontier.com/app/flow/DrGmk6kvKm03

Sorry for the long silence, I'm still figuring out PCB quirks and its taking a lot of time with communication, hopefully its all cleared up now and I'll finally get a functioning proto PCB

Yeah this is it for me, will keep an eye for gb.

Filled the form, is it possible to release the plate file so I can source a carbon fiber one locally?

My friend who has access to carbon fiber sourcing confirmed that making a keyboard plate is possible, just to confirm the plate thickness on the Swiss will be 1.5 mm?

Happiest day ever, will be heading to my friends place to play with carbon fiber this weekend so thanks for the timely answer!

Will be getting GMK swiss addon as well, just saw the GB update and am HYPE

UPDATE
I finally got the PCB and was able to build the Proto. It looks fantastic and just how I want it to be, however I'm very unhappy with the sound. For this reason I am redesigning the Case and filling up the inside to make it less hollow and remove the metallic noise currently present. I also am removing the center mounting points reducing it from a total of 8 to a total of 4, making for a more bouncy typing experience. If you dislike this, keep in mind a brass plate will be available. These changes will then require a 3rd proto to be made! Until then enjoy these pics and join my discord to have to most up to date info!

udller · « **Reply #164 on:** Fri, 06 August 2021, 09:23:07 »

that proto looks sick, i sao look forward to that day i can buy it, one day in the near future i hope this gets a r2 with a 65% version

tarokeebs · « **Reply #165 on:** Fri, 20 August 2021, 14:33:30 »

love to see crazy stuff like this

meowse · « **Reply #166 on:** Fri, 27 August 2021, 08:35:32 »

I was this close to buy the copycat's product, well, "buy" would be an overstatement since that guy ask for a full payment to his personal account and 3 month's production schedule.

I REALLY REALLY REALLY dig this design, hope to get it asap.

It might be better if it supports via and split spacebar. But I'm totally fine with current set.

Thank you for making this come true.

Mental. If you ever decide to revisit this in a TKL or larger format, I'm sure my cheesehead granddad would love one.

bastijn · « **Reply #168 on:** Sun, 29 August 2021, 15:09:27 »

Will R2 be the Dutch cheese version?

.

Tagging along with half an eye. Maybe if price is right to own. Close enough to Dutch cheese

i gave this board a lot of **** when i first saw it but now im kind of into it

ill admit i may have been wrong

POLL, please participate

Hey, Long time to see. Quick update to show that I'm still working on things and haven't abandoned this project:
I got new quotes with the factory and they became significantly more expensive, the original quotes were very weirdly cheap...
The board now is in the regions of costing over 400 usd, which is not my goal. This is where I would like to ask you for help by filling out this quick poll. Please fill out if you're considering getting the board:

https://forms.gle/6eh2KdnSQAAohegK7

Bregoli · « **Reply #172 on:** Thu, 11 November 2021, 13:51:17 »

Update on the poll:
No Brass won with 32%, 43% voted for they don't care meaning it ended up being close, I chose to end up doing no brass as the price with brass would've gone well over 420 Euros sale price. This way we should be able to keep it under 350 Euros, assuming there won't be a huge rise in material costs. I had the board redesigned and got an estimate and am ordering the hopefully final prototype! Will follow up with renders soon!

BloremBipsum · « **Reply #173 on:** Fri, 12 November 2021, 11:23:49 »

Oh to be the little mousey nibling on the bottom of the cheeseboard

Bregoli · « **Reply #176 on:** Sun, 01 May 2022, 15:17:53 »

Long time no Update:

The board is done and the way I like it, However:
The current situation in the world is causing the prices of costs to soar and making this board too expensive for what it is. For that reason I'm waiting until things become a bit more affordable to finally go into GB. I'm sorry for the long wait!

JP911 · « **Reply #182 on:** Mon, 08 August 2022, 21:54:06 »

This looks so cool.

I hope you do like a matte cerakote yellow for it to simulate cheese. Shiny anodizing would take away from the cartoonish feeling of it which I think gives it character.

The machining on this must be crazy!

Bregoli · « **Reply #183 on:** Sat, 29 October 2022, 05:29:07 »

Despite the lack of updates I have been working hard on this. Something small to enjoy while you wait:

Thank you so much to Cheese Turbulence for making this wonderful review. Please note the protos he had are still heavily flawed and I am making one last one to show before finally launching the GB projected to be in Q1 of 2023!

Cornelius240 · « **Reply #184 on:** Sat, 29 October 2022, 09:01:57 »

I’m so hyped this is going to come to fruition!

nathanchere · « **Reply #185 on:** Tue, 01 November 2022, 05:41:19 »

We can give up on any hope of split space bar support at this point, right?

lmao ain't no way it's a cheese keyboard! In all honesty it's a funny idea but really don't know if the novelty of it justifies the price tag.

Depends on the demand of course! For now there are still extras available on Keebwerk.com
