Yes, and keep in mind that the discord gb is for a different design (with less than 50 units) as you can see here:

I think I know the answer to the question but what made you change the design for this IC? In my honest opinion Discord version is more unique.

If I understand your question correctly: The design hasn't changed for this IC. The IC for Eon came first. The design was changed for the Discord GB that came afterward, to differentiate them.

Eon = Public GB on Geekhack

Aeon = Discord GB

In my honest opinion Discord version is more unique.

Good to hear! That was largely the plan:

A small discord-only Group Buy for a new revision of this board, in order to gear up for a larger public GH run, is happening now!

As an incentive to join sometimes designers offer a 'special edition' color that will never run again, or maybe even a weight made out of a different material. For this round I am offering something along those lines, but far more unique.

Join my Discord Server for more details.

Thanks for asking!

The Aeon looks nice indeed.
So Eon is postponed until Aeon is fulfilled?

Well hello there, Geekhack!

It feels like forever, but quite a lot has happened since my last update:

1. A Discord GB for the Aeon variant of this design has been completed!
2. A small plate GB providing compatibility for Aeon between different versions of the hiney h60 pcb is nearing completion.
3. I fell in love with making keycaps!

All the experience and feedback ive gained since completing the Aeon GB has gone into the final revision and I can't wait to bring Eon to you guys in 2023!

More details including GB date to come.

Please let me know if you have any questions, comments, or feedback in the meantime!
