[IC] TX87 - New Korean TKL Custom Keyboard

[radio_killah]

Hey yuiop do you think you could get a couple more pictures of the full build but with the whole case in view? It is a bit hard to get the full picture with half the case missing from view.

More or less. Thanks.

[byker]

Interested! Damn good price too! 

[cmadrid]

$200?  Seems too good to be true, but I'd love to get one for that

[geogga]

Realized the bottom was a polycarbonate layer, hmm.

Edit: looking back I think this is awesome!

[Rodgaroon]

One day....you will be mine.

[cyclonechuah]

i`m interested in this.

[Rodgaroon]

any updates?

[Saviant]

Put me down as interested, not usually into backlit stuff but liking it.

Some pics from 2nd round of prototyping 




red aluminum top (86 key) + polycarb plate + polycarb bottom



black aluminum top + stainless steel plate + black polycarb bottom

There have been some delays/setbacks with the PCB which is still in development stage. 
As of right now its the only thing keeping this from going live.   
Hopefully we have some good news soon.

Absolutely in love with the black polycarb bottom. Any chance you get get us a pick of that red top on the black base?

Any idea how well the black poly carb does with lighting?

[Sygaldry]

Wow that black polycarb bottom looks so good....
I wonder how much light it will let through?!

[yuiop]

I don't think black polycarb lets much light through, if at all....

[Sygaldry]

Hmm... oh well. The picture made it look semi-transparent/translucent-ish.

[henz]

question, is there a option to have a opaque sub bottom? Not interested in the light show just want a alu case for my a87

You mean the aluminum bottom?  Probably not.
Black polycarb bottom won't let much light through so you might want to consider that.

[byker]

The bottom one looks so nice! Super excited for this to go to production.

Sounds like a plan!

[RogueBond007]

Wow that looks nice... I'd be interested 

[Rodgaroon]

So pumped.....HAPPY FACE!

[sethk_]

This will be awesome, I only ask for a sky-blue top plate color!

[hjc1710]

Very interested! Really want the purple top plate.

[radio_killah]

Yuiop, a question. What kind of finish does the poly carb bottom have? Is it smooth or is it sort of matte?

[yuiop]

It has matte-like finish.  Not glossy.

[radio_killah]

Black PC bottom with a silver/brushed metallic top might look pretty cool.

[geogga]

So many options...

[kin25]

Black PC bottom with a silver/brushed metallic top might look pretty cool.

Black PC bottom is more expensive 1.5times. So I have no plan to make Black PC bottom. Sorry

Wait, the Black PC bottom is different than the one pictured earlier right?
Im assuming the black PC bottom  you guys are talking about is a fully black (not smokey) bottom?

This is the bottom I'm referring to:



Are you saying that won't be an option?  Just trying to confirm.

[henz]

is the plate changeable? Can we get pictures of it?

I think that Alu Bottom is better than Black PC Bottom at the same price.
How about Alu Bottom?

Of course, Plate is changeable.
This is a picture of PC Plate.

I would total go for the Alu bottom!

 ;D

Is alu bottom going to be an option in this GB?

[gravenshard]

So ready for this 

[Sygaldry]

So ready for this 

Indeed, so am I!

I'm not even a fan of the TKL layout but I'm ready to throw some money away for this!

If aluminum bottom was available I honestly would crap myself.

[kin25]

If you choose Alu Bottom, You should pay a little more.
and couldn't use RGB backlight.
Alu Bottom color will be only black.
Sorry for not many choices.

Well looks like a trip to the toilet and/or shower is in your certain future!  :cool: :thumb:

Not a problem at all! Alu bottom will be amazing even without RGB! How much more would it cost? (1.5x more or something like previously mentioned for the Black polycarbonate prototype?)

WOOOOOOOOOOOO
My toilet overflowed!!!!

I will definitely not mind paying extra for an aluminum bottom as the total price is already so low!

Will the aluminum top and bottom connect seamlessly? As in connect with no bumps etc?
The polycarbonate layer connects to the aluminum top with a lip/bump/edge popping out and I don't really like that.

I basically need a KMAC :DDD

[kin25]

Alu bottom may be at most +50$
i don't know yet exactly.

[azhdar]

- PCB : programmable of course. supports Winkey/Winkeyless/ISO/etc.

Will ISO plate be made for this ?

[Heezy]

definitely interested. 

[geogga]

$50 extra is fine. Now when can we start?

[kin25]

pcb is not ready yet. when pcb is ready, it will be started immediately. sorry for late.

[kin25]

Will ISO plate be made for this ?

because of too many options, I will be tired a little.
but I know that ISO layout is very important for someone.
so I will make ISO.

Then you got my interest .
Will wait final pricing and anodizing options to decide .

As you can see the pictures, top and bottom size are different.
someone like and dislike this shape.
i made this shape for RGB LED spreading.

I see, thank you very much kin for explaining about the different size. I'm guessing since aluminum bottoms won't give out light LED spreading (obviously), you're going to think and design up another bottom design? If so, take your time I look back at it and I don't really mind the different size, I'm just glad an aluminum bottom is becoming available for us!

Seems like the PCB is still a bit delayed, nothing you or us can do to change it but wait.
Thank you again kin!
