First of all, we want to say thank you for all of you who have filled out the IC form ealier. Your feedbacks and suggestions make us improve our product in order to get more affordable. Therefore, I would like to represent to you, improved design of us, still called GOS – God of Sea, but the weight and side profile have changed, also eliminate gasket option from the design.
Right now, there is only “bottom – oring” mounting option as showed
/////* What has been changed?
Weight design: a simpler engraved trident rather than raise graphic like before
Side profile: changed to an elegant curve compared to 3 sharp curves like before
Front view: I have reduced the screws size in order to get rid of exposed holes like before, we no longer see those screw holes
USB cut out: fit and very fit
Material weight option: aluminum and brass depends on kit
Material plate options: same as weight
Logo: will be engraved on as showed, both top part and plate, pcb
PCB:add daughterboard so the usb port will be that small
Price: more afforable
Quantity: 30 units for Raffle (15 for standard and 15 for premium)
Raffle: and only in Raffle, number will be engraved on top of the logo, as showed on top part
Colour:

Layout: have divider to separate arrow keys from others as showed

Anything else: No >>> Really?
Absolutely not, Price for in-stock raffle:
Standard kit: $380 — Storm Gray Case, Blue Graphite Weight and Plate, fully alu assemble, PCB with daughterboard, screws, feets, orings, gaskets
Premium kit: $450 — Blue Graphite Case, Sandblasted Brass Weight and Plate, PCB with daughterboard, screws, feets, orings, gaskets

INSPIRATION:
I have always inspired the myths in Greek with all types of God. And Poseidon is my favorite god, who control the Ocean with the Golden Trident in his hand. That’s how I brought it into my design. The bottom weight is made with the tides symbolic for the ocean, and the trident is rising up from the water illustrate for the power of the person who control it.
MANUFACTURER
As those who have followed us, you will know us as a designer of Zodiac keyboard. It is not successful because of many reasons (the way of design, qualities of products, manufacturer, QC, etc.). That is a failure for the first design, and we know what we can do in this project and We found a right manufacturer that satisfied our requirements.
WHAT MAKE US DIFFERENT??
O-ring and Gasket are the most popular mounting systems in many keyboards today. For us, we bring both of them into one that called Gas-Ring.
Specification:
• 65% keyboard.
• 6061 6063aluminum
• Soldered type-C Pcb (support only ANSI, 7u and 6.25u bottom layout, stepped caps lock, split backspace).
• Black case More colors added to IC form, yellow weight (aluminum for weight only for now), Brass weight
• 7 degree
• Gas-Ring mounting systems
• Plate option: MX switch support, full /half flex or half plate ( yellow anodized aluminum only for now).
• No blocker at the bottom row. UPDATED
Error and fix:
The gap between keycaps and the inner top piece boundaries is too big. So, we are planning to fix it and it will no longer an issue when it releases. And that the only problem we had on prototype.
Public Groupbuy running:
• We will do raffle sales 50 kits; serial number will be engraved inside the case (it might not happen if the price for engraving is too high).
• All kits will be on our hand first before doing raffle, which mean you will get case right after your payment.
• Time: TBD (but properly at the end of Jan 2021).
• Price: TBD but range from $450-$550
• Future Sales: TBD.
