[GB] is0GR by AKB | GB closed!
« on: Tue, 24 October 2023, 08:56:17 »



It's all downhill for me from here.


Specs/features:

Inspired by Blacksimon's is0, and also the OGR by AKB (apparently that's pretty good tbf, go buy one from AKB)
10° typing angle for refined, early 90's ergonomics
Full 6063 aluminium rectangular construction
Bead-blasted and anodised finish for peak performance
Top mounted plate for the keyboard elite
QMK compatible USB-C PCB by Cipulot, with VIA support
5 colors to choose from (with a mystery 6th for CK)
Fat boy 100g
13 screws for just one key
Literally a keyboard of all time





Prototype photos:

Layout Compatibility:



GB details: (over to the left for this bit)

$90


GB window Oct 27th - Nov 17th
Estimated arrival Q2 2024
Quantity: unlimited




Head pats to:

Blacksimon for giving me an eggplant
Cipulot for his excellent work on the PCB design and being an all-round good boi
Official Happy Hot Dog Man for being my muse and an eternal well of inspiration
James (AKB) for designing this

Approved :thumb:

PSA to prospective buyers:
Group Buys are inherently risky endeavors. There is an element of risk involved with collecting payment before the item has been produced and resulting uncertainty during manufacturing / subsequent operations. We urge all GB organizers to consider (and document) these risks, and want to make it clear to all who consider purchasing that these risks are present.

If you are unfamiliar with the Group Buy model, please read this primer - Group Buy FAQ / Buying Guidelines

This PSA is new and will become standard on all Group Buys moving forward. It is not posted on this GB in isolation and is not singling this organizer out in particular as someone to be wary of.

cherry blacks - unlubed - filmed and springswapped with tx 55g mediums - alu Plate | pretty happy with this, the blacks were cherry picked so they weren't that scratchy to begin with, but currently breaking them in, may lube them with a dry lube like ro59 or ptfe powder.

lubed with tribosys 3203 | like topre a lot, prefer it lubed but did make less tactile but that might have been a skill issue. probably will get more tactile over time as the domes age.

bad orange alps lol | definitely needs a restoration. planning on wax boiling them and maybe a replacement pcb because the board has only 2 key rollover apparently.
| praxis

gateron yellows - lubed with 205g0 - 62g tx mediums - pc plate | probably my favourite keyboard already, feels super nice and sounds pretty good, it's got a great layout as well. probably gonna build this with mx browns, I feel like it would suit the board more.

stock with silent reds | Pretty cool looking board, the silent reds are actually good, they are smooth and I don't mind the mushiness (it's not even that mushy as well). the layout is pretty weird, but is useable. will probably mod this in the future. maybe a pcb and plate swap, change the keycaps to something dolch like, and also spring swap the springs in the silent reds.

stock, needs a cleaning and probably replacement foam. Do plan to change layout so it has split bs and rs, as well as ansi enter.

Built with new nixies on pc half plate. Love this board already, probably the best looking board I own, those brass accents are so mint. Really like it as is, but I do want to try an alu build (probably with nixies as well) just to experiment with that.

Mine came in today, and it's gorgeous! A couple of ball bearings in the package for the rail is just icing on the cake ^_^
