Would you mind doing some more shots of the front and back? Preferably without the depth of field as well, it’s a little annoying to me

My desk is a mess, I’ll have better photos taken when I get it back. We’re also still waiting for the PCB.

Looks awesome. Hoping for VIA support.

LOL imagine trying to sell a product and posting only photos where the corner of the product is in focus. Seriously, that's such a poor attempt at product photography. Isn't the whole point that you can see the actual keyboard?

While I feel like this is a little overly attacking, I am also extremely curious about the bottom of the keyboard on the prototype. Any chance of photos of that?

thesiscamper · « **Reply #205 on:** Thu, 06 June 2019, 16:33:08 »

Better photos will be taken, it’s not releasing tomorrow or next week. Imagine joining a keyboard group buy with just bad renders to go by, not even decent ones. Yeah.

Banzai · « **Reply #206 on:** Thu, 06 June 2019, 16:54:27 »

This looks amazing. I've been in the market for a high quality 75% for a long time now. This paired with the SA Laser I joined on last week may truly be my end game board. Keep up the good work guys. Looking forward to the end result!

I’m sure you like arguing and showing everyone how smart you are but like I said better photos will be taken when I get it back.

The pcb prototype hasn't been done yet so It'll be likely a while before the GB starts (since there might be changes coming to the plate if the built prototype isn't up to thesiscamper's standard)

flippanteer · « **Reply #219 on:** Wed, 26 June 2019, 13:14:01 »

Any chance of a photo of the underside of the prototype?

loopaddiction · « **Reply #220 on:** Wed, 26 June 2019, 17:47:01 »

More of a 60%/65% person myself but this looks very appealing to me, depending on the final colorways that are offered. Would prefer more neutral color combinations, i.e. e-white top with grey or black bottom + plate, or any combination of black, grey, and/or white. This assures more compatibility with most keycap sets. I'm personally eyeing either the rendered grey or e-white Primus above but that red bottom limits the number of keycap sets that would match nicely, IMO.

Been a month since the first of the prototypes arrived and still no bottom shot? I'm not trying to harp too hard here but I'm a little disappointed by the lack of addressing this? Someone else other than me asked for this as well on the previous page after the first prototype photos were given.

It's probably not being addressed for a reason. Per the discord, "the bottom is a secret design for now". Looks like we gotta wait and see

Ah, I did not know that that was said in the discord, thank you for clearing that up.

The red part of the prototype picture reminds me of the exterior accent of the Lamborghini Centenario. It looks pretty cool!

Updates for primus:
1) We are going to order some more prototypes(It will be our Version 3 prototype, also it will be the final version) because we did some small changes.
2) Reduced tolerance on the plate, make it isolates with top/bottom case.
3) Reduced tolerance between bottom case and weight on the side.
4) Redo the gasket molds, previously we opened silicon molds but the final gasket is not that premium quality. So we are going to spend more for metal molds. The new gasket will have tape on the backside, so the user can apply it easier.
5) PCB delayed. So we haven't assembled our prototype Version 2.

Nothatso · « **Reply #241 on:** Thu, 10 October 2019, 13:54:14 »

Almost two months since the last round of prototypes were ordered, how are things progressing?

Edit: guess they're just posting the updates on discord for the time being

ilouis_07 · « **Reply #242 on:** Fri, 11 October 2019, 02:13:35 »

These are the updates we are working on project Primus in the past 2 months:
1) We tried different hardness silicon rubber material: 70A and 50A.
2) the back tape changed from unbranded to 3M, quality has big improved.
3) We did a small gasket testing tool, the purpose is to find the best balance point, the theory behind:

Different gasket material has different compress performance
a)the harder the material, the small margin it can be compressed. in other words, we can give small space for the plate to move.
b)the softer the material, the larger the margin it can be compressed. we have to give more space for the plate to move.
so our isolated gasket structure needs to be changed according to the material we choose.

It took about 1 month plus for us to do all the R&D on it.

About the gasket testing tool prototype(we did small changes to make the top 2 pieces intergrate into one piece)

No compression at all. There is a small gap between the top(top case) and bottom( bottom case)
