Cross post from Matias' subforum for increased visibility.

man, those are extremely geometrically clean for thick PBT tooling. nice job. commendations to your toolmakers 

Thanks!

I probably should've cross-posted to the keycaps forum, but didn't think of it.  Actually, I'm not sure that the board software supports it.

yah, we don't have a cross-posting mechanism yet. i'm sure someone will catch on eventually and link this

I think you have already answered this, but I just wanted to double check.

Will you guys be selling these new PBT key caps separately also?

Yes, we'll be selling the PBT caps as well.  You can see attached photos of the two we've done so far... a 1.5x2.5 spacebar and an R4 1x1.25:

Here are some more photos I just took of the PBT 1.5x2.5 spacebar...

I'm a big fan of Matias boards and I'm very excited for this to come out! can't wait!

[Binge]

I'm not sure if it's hot in here..

And there goes the 1 thing stopping me from wasting my money on yet another board.

Cool.  Should be great.  Hopefully, it does not cause a raise in prices.  Now will those be on every one of their keyboards or just the ErgoPro or whatever it is called?

That was the only thing preventing me from getting a Matias Keyboard.

On another note, does anyone know when they're coming out?

From the same thread:

Hi there Matias, what about the 60% or it will be the Ergo Pro first at this moment seeing that the availability of Ergo Pro is 3 more months to go.

Thanks for asking...

The 60% keyboard shares a lot of keycaps with the Ergo Pro, so it's going to have to come after.  It also needs 3 more keycaps which the Ergo Pro doesn't have, so there will be some additional keycap tooling required.

I've been trying to decide how soon to do the IC for it.  I figured it would be better if the IC were closer to the eventual release date.  As always, I'm open to suggestions.

It looks like the Ergo Pro and this eventual 60% GB are going to use many of the same caps so Edgar is saying he won't run the IC or GB until after the Ergo Pro is out. Of course, I'm not Edgar and I'm not associated with Matias in anyway so I could definitely be wrong.

I'm trying not to get another keyboard.

This keyboard isn't helping.

Do you think there will be different colored caps?

They’ve mentioned white, black, and red, and I think possibly other colors if there’s a group buy.
