DannyDP · « **Reply #152 on:** Sun, 21 February 2021, 20:10:21 »

polished stainless, rose gold, and black PVD would be nice for the weight. Regardless I cannot wait for this to go into GB.

antsinyourpants · « **Reply #153 on:** Sun, 21 February 2021, 21:34:46 »

Yep! Count me in. I only recently got into this hobby (KBDfans Tofus for work and at home) but am already thinking about my next build. I'm pretty sure this it it!

This is horrible.
Another fantastic keyboard I want to have, with a leafspring plate... I. Can't. Resist. This.

Looks dope! Finally something without a corner blocker.

Timception · « **Reply #156 on:** Tue, 23 February 2021, 12:54:54 »

Hope to buy one of these!

what a beaut...I'm afraid of the potential damage to the wallet though! Not sure if I'm ready to take that step yet lol

ReverbSlush · « **Reply #158 on:** Thu, 25 February 2021, 20:41:07 »

Really loving the olive green. This is my #1 keyboard to try to acquire (with your K coming in 2nd). Saving up now. I hope the next prototype is a success.

thelateclacker · « **Reply #159 on:** Thu, 25 February 2021, 21:21:52 »

Is there another link where we can view the prototype build stream?

Thanks!! Just starting to give it a watch, but wow man that olive is *chef's kiss*

Interesting internal design, personally, I just hope the front can be more like 7v. Great work!!!

MikeNasty3 · « **Reply #164 on:** Sat, 27 February 2021, 12:43:29 »

This looks sweet. I still can't wait for my 7V and now that I see this has a rose gold PVD weight, what are the chances of ever making a rose gold PVD weight for the 7V?

SolidCactus · « **Reply #165 on:** Sat, 27 February 2021, 13:48:46 »

I'm loving the multi-color weight! Great work.

I'm 110% interested in this Mr.Gok and also i really really want a 7v, i just got into this hobby 6 months ago and sadly i didnt know about group buys when you were offering the 7v for the group buy and thats my dream keyboard, do you know if there will be anymore group buys for the 7v or anyway i can get one at the msrp you offered them? I'm very picky when it comes to used things and i keep extremely good care of all tech i own and have trouble getting ride of my stuff so i rarely sell anything and if i do need to get rid of something weather its an old computer phone or clothes i donate never sell. But it makes me sad that my dream keyboard the 7v there are people that entered that group buy just to flip it for profit when they recieve it and i would keep that one forever and same with this Venn if it goes into gb which i hope it does. I really hope u dont think im ass kissing but i honestly dont really like any other highend/exclusive keyboards besides yours. This Venn and the 7v i hope to be able to own both and keep them in my collection forever just like my 2 others that i built already (the tofu 60% and kbdfans 5 degree 60%) Just to make sure this venn isnt up for group buy yet right? i checked the links and it isnt up for purchase just yet. Anyway hopr i get a reply and if you could pm me and anwser a question for me that would mean alot to me. Thanks!

You best bet would be to wait for extras after the GB units ship in late April. Depending on where you live, the vendors that hosted GB of 7V will have some extras that you can buy at a slightly higher price than GB price.

Keep in mind that Gok only designs the boards, but he doesn't handle sales and manufacturing directly. Other than that, I am afraid you would have to explore r/MechMarket for the 7V. There will always be for-profit flippers for expensive stuff, but as unfortunate as that is, it is the high demand created by new people in this hobby that caused that.

I can relate to you because I was once a newbie and I was really excited about every custom keyboard I've ever seen. But, I think you should seriously consider your interested about custom mechanical keyboards before trying to spend money on something you don't understand. If you really like boards such as the 7V, I bet you'll be willing to wait for other similar boards like it, or even for a potential round 2 of 7V. So please be patient, and please be smart. Good luck.

really digging the design with the rainbow weight. Usually i'm not a fan of simple silver but it looks very nice here. I hope it won't cost too much otherwise customs will cost me a fortune xD

This will use Wilba's standard graphite PCBs so I'm sticking with the layout options that PCB offers.

If we take the 7V IC as a reference, it'll happen when its ready and Gok will post something when there is something to post.

Interested to try sandwich leafspring plate and really liking the multicolor weight and usb cutout design. GLWIC Gok!

Syncro_Ace · « **Reply #176 on:** Mon, 08 March 2021, 13:20:06 »

I'm actually really very interested in this keyboard simply because of the layout and the PCB, cause I've been looking for one like this for at least 2 years AHAHA. That aside the aesthetics is really beautiful. But just wondering if it is okay to basically take them apart to mod creating a custom. I intend to buy one for my brother but his love for RGB is just out of this world. So is it possible to add LEDs per key and/or underglow(Soldering it myself is fine), and adding the hot-swap sockets for him as well. That's just my questions for customizing the board. That aside, I'm superr hyped for this Board to be out, as this has literally been what I've kind of been looking for. Lastly, is it possible to use the HHKB layout for the majority of the board but I want the extra buttons at the bottom(i.e. the additional Windows/Fn. Unified size of all 3 buttons instead of a 1.5U Ctrl 1.75U/2U Alt)?

Op if you have read this, I'm really thankful for you taking the time for reading the questions. Again I'm really very hyped for this board. Will be awaiting for updates! You are awesome HAHAHA
Cheers and have a good day~

Professor Leet · « **Reply #177 on:** Mon, 08 March 2021, 14:48:35 »

Can there be another color option? I would love there to be a white one with a brass weight on the bottom. If my dreams come true then i'll be having this Venn white with a brass weight and a very specific color scheme keycap set. Gok PLEASE answer my prayers with your amazing talent and release a white one as well. But if not thats ok I can deal with that ill just go with silver and a brass weight. By the way can anyone tell me if the pcb will be included with this? I think i saw that it was available on another website but when i checked it was sold out or was that just a pcb that could work with the Venn???

No changes will be made to the PCB design and layout because I want to run with Wilba's graphite series of PCBs.

I want to stick with 4 colours since there are already a lot of different configurations you can have which increases the number of SKU's by a lot. The kit will come with a PCB but the idea of using the Graphite PCBs is that you will have continued support for it beyond the GB window.

Ah that I understand, what I meant was, is it possible if I were to take it apart and mod it by adding/soldering on extra parts like hot-swap kits and LED on per-key/underglow
Thanks again for the clarification!!

Good day~!

Looks amazing! Making a keyboard for your fiance, super romantic <3
Have you considered to make it so your *w* face will be engraved in the bottom weight? I think it would make the bottom weight a little more interesting rather than just being plain metal, similar to how the 7v has it's logo on the weight aswell.
Would be a cool way to make it almost your brand identity/logo too!
