Dang, I was hoping for arrow key and f row blockers

The CU75 features arrow keys. I am working to include 2x1u blockers and 2x1.25u blockers alongside the already confirmed 2x1.5u blockers, with the kit.

Sorry i worded that pretty badly, I was referring to the .5u blocker between the arrows keys and right ctrl key, and the blocker under and between f row keys, like the xeno

Those photos are great I’m a fan, especially with the full aluminium base. It actually does speak ‘luxury’ to me and I will probably pop some money aside closer to the drop date.

Those look very nice! Would be a tough call but I’d go for the full aluminum version, especially if there is a color choice for both top and bottom. Looking forward to more info/pricing.

Those prices include shipping and all fees!

Looking great, only thing is that underglow... very uneven and patchy. I wouldn't think this was a hard fix, so hopefully it can be resolved. Will definitely let the board down otherwise.

This is a real shame. Unfortunately that means it loses 147 luxury points, but I'll keep an eye on the full alu base version. No way could I endure that kind of patchiness in the underglow. Nice idea, but really bad execution with very obvious dark patches in the corners and smaller ones all the way around. Looks terrible. I'm genuinely disappointed as I really liked the idea of this aesthetic, but it's clearly fallen well short of what I hoped for. Don't get me wrong, rest of the board looks solid and I will still strongly consider the full alu version, I just wish you'd been able to better implement the underglow.

The angle will be 5 degrees, and black is the only colour available at this time.

Is there going to be a 'full' 60% layout variant? I don't really like the HHKB layout, but the case is SOOOO sexy. I'd love it, if I could get those corner keys!

Also: When is this going on sale/pre sale? and when would the fulfillment be?

There are some weird aliasing artifacts in the pictures, especially in the last one, probably because of bad scaling algorithms.

Overall I really like the design, especially with the alu bottom. There are some machining marks on the prototypes, but I think that you will be able to fix them easily.

(bottom of numpad has steps/contours in the logo, chamfer has some skidmarks on it from a slightly too high feed or from a lack of a finishing pass etc. Some of the screw holes could also be moved 1mm to the inside, so that the recesses are not cut by the chamfers. The plates have sprue mark like points in each hole.)

Interested in the CU30. I've been looking for a nice Alu 5x5, so a 5x6 will work for me.

Depending on the price, you can count me in.

if it is not to late to voice an op on the 60...and not to suggest ditching any other case designs...but food for thought on an alt

2u blockers...with a centered 6u bar...no split support

[blocker-1u-1.5-6u-1.5-1u-blocker]

since becoming an enthusiast i have seen tiny...ortho...split and even castle builds so for the centered 6u bar 2u blockers to be the exotic design that only exist in the future is wild to me

this case is beautiful in any regard...like a sneaker w light up souls...very nice

not a fan of the right aligned bus port...cable management off the left side looks cleaner...imo

Looks great other than the logo. Is it the CU24 or CU34? I’d never know by only looking at the case.

jimirolln · « **Reply #139 on:** Sat, 24 March 2018, 10:09:59 »

it does look good and would make a great macro pad...but is this common in the community?...to split the num pad off the peripheral...if there were a mock up of this case in a 96 key layout maybe that question would make more sense because for me the stand alone num pad seams to defeat the purpose of the sixty percent build...and then i realized that the right aligned bus port was intentional for cable management aesthetics without doing something crazy like a through port for the pad to jump and routing one cable to the tower...and still...its not a good look and defeats the purpose

i love this project...wouldn't have replied if i didn't...hoping this isn't offensive to anyone...just want to be honest about my feels...i understand tastes and opinions vary and am in no way implying mine is correct

It's CU24. It's a 4x6 board and can hold up to 24 keys. Similar for the CU30 which is a 5x6.

Idk if it's common but people do go for a TKL or smaller board and then have a separate numpad.

The idea is that it's separate so you can remove it from play when it's not needed and get more mouse room and keep your hand closer to the main board.

It can also be used as a macropad which is quite common.

I don't know if it's common, but if I used a numpad for work or anything I would definitely do it. Was pretty much the first thing that popped into my head when I started seeing smaller keyboards. Not to put them together like in the render, but to separate them with the mouse in between. The biggest problem with oversized keyboards is that they spread your shoulders too wide, I can't stand TKL or bigger now because I constantly bump my mouse into its left side. If you move the numpad over to the right side of the mouse you give yourself back all that space to have your arms at a more appropriate width from each other when generally computing, while still having access to the numpad which is of course the fastest way to type long series of numbers. I think it's really awesome and I'm debating on whether to get the numpad just in case I ever get more into numbers, although I probably won't because I don't really have much funds atm.

fair enuf...how do you feel about the alignment of the bus port?...because for people like me who want to build the 60 but don't want the pad and prefer the left aligned port...the opt's are to get over it or opt out...i am to ocd about details to fork a premium...i guess its not even a price thing...if it were uber affordable but i new i would not put any miles on it i would hold out and hope the dream is alive somewhere...that's a reference to the double two unit blocker case as there are other alternatives for the regular layouts...i guess i am just jaded it doesn't exist already as the standard blocker case options are that off center 6u that looks awful and unbalanced or the centered 7u which is to much space bar unless you type like a madman or inebriated...maybe it is just an acquired taste idk

Not a big fan of the right side usb port either. For the main board, I like it being left as it is cleaner, in my opinion. Mainly cause my mouse is on the right side and a keyboard wire can interfere with it.

I'm more interested in the CU30 though and I don't care whether it's left, right, or center for that one.

Unfortunately due to space limitations on the PCB and power limitations, the underglow can not be improved.

I almost feel like you shouldn't even bother with underglow if it can't be improved as it seems sort of weak sauce compared to others out there. I do think the overall design of the case looks great though outside of that. The PCB won't be hotswap, right?
