I imagine someone asked already, but will the bluetooth be able to work with an alu case? I know some people have issues with their anne pros that they put in alu cases

I know some people have issues with their anne pros that they put in alu casesI imagine that any full metal case will like a farday cage (since metals are very good conductors) and prevent any bluetooth signal from getting into the receiver.
I think the entire concept is fascinating, and the render of the case looks good, just wondering what could be the possible layout, or maybe if there would be 65% board or even 75% in future.
I really like the idea of a wireless 60%, but just a newby question on my part if the controller doesn't support bluetooth + wired connection would it be possible to add a toggle switch to the bluetooth? To toggle on and off and allow for wired connections?

Those are photos of our first prototype. Several of us are big fans of wireless keyboards but I don't see a lot of interests here so far. This PCB was designed for ourselves at first. It's 60% because we were lazy to design a case for it. We still did though. Other layouts or even a controller (like teensy) are possible, but not in the near future.

I think I am not that oppose to the 60% design, just gettting used to 66% or TKL these day, but the current PCB design seems to already covers most of the popular possible layout and I think this is great. One thing I would hope for is not only support for mx switch but maybe also matias/alps as I love how the matias click and quiet click feels, and maybe kalih low profile to make a very slim profile, everyday carry board ?
Really liking the change to layouts so far. SplitBackSpace and SplitRightShift are such a welcome change.Really, really interested now. I had a good experience with my Anne Pro but loved HHKB Layout. If this can do both AND fit in a case that has blockers this will be an instant buy for me. I'd love to see it in a Tina-C but I think the acrylic diffuser will get in the way. Maybe focus on Standard 60% for R1 to get it out there since you already have a good design.R2 HHKB Blockers <3?

We're targeting the people who love wireless keyboards. Developing a good Bluetooth PCB is much more difficult than developing a ps2avr or TMK/QMK PCB. It's also much more difficult than re-designing the case. The current case was designed for a low price ($90 or so) such that you can have a decent aluminum case for the Bluetooth PCB instead of a cheap plastic case. HHKB style is fancy but will cost more. R2 HHKB Blockers sounds a good plan, if there're enough interests of course.

if you can get this two-tone design with combos like, say, black + red or black + cyan, it would be REALLY neat.
I prefer to start a small and quick GB first in December.

I really miss that asymmetrical tow tone case design, but seems like that's not gonna happen.

This project was delayed a lot because I was running another GB for my friend Alsoran. Now it will be back on track since AL1 GB will be all fulfilled soon. To answer some question: Layouts: 7u HHKB top case and GH60 top caseGB when: May 1st
and what price do you expect on new design?
