/UPDATE/ down below
Hey keybpeople,
Cody from Keybs Co here. I’m trying to gauge public interest
for the keyboard I’ve been working on before going to the
prototyping phase.
Imgur Album:

Case Top: Anodized or E-white Aluminum
Case
Bottom: Brushed or Polished Brass or Aluminum
PCB: ANSI
Layout, Hotswap or Non-Hotswap (QMK/VIA Support)
Plate:
Brass or Aluminum (possibly more options depending on
feedback)
Daughterboard: USB Type-C (JST cable
connecting daughter to mainboard)
GB is TBD. Depending
on interest it will most likely be around 2 months out. Ship
date would then be 6 months after GB ends, give or take.
The
GB will be hosted on our website, with no limit on units.
You will also have the option to select extra PCB’s and
Plates. Hopefully I didn’t miss anything, please let me know
if I did.
Thanks for reading! Looking forward to
reading all of your feedback!
/UPDATE/
I’ve closed the google form and we have our winners for
additional colors and plate options! The additional colors
will be a Navy/Dark Blue, Rose Gold, and a Dark
Red/Burgundy. The additional plate options will be POM,
Polycarb, and possibly FR4. Will update later on the FR4
when/if it’s a guarantee. Thank you to everybody who
took the time to fill out the form!

Hey everybody, prototypes have been
ordered! My initial timeline has delayed but I’m doing my
best to get to the GB date as soon as possible, while still
having a high quality keyboard. We’ve ordered a polished
aluminum bottom and a brushed brass bottom to give an idea
of both finishes, along with an anodized black top and
E-white top. We also ordered plates in each material other
than FR4. FR4 unfortunately was not an option from this
manufacturer, and others we found where it was available
just couldn’t justify the cost. We are open to continue
looking if anyone knows of a place, or there is enough
interest in it, just shoot us a message!
/UPDATE/

Small update. Realized I forgot to
post pricing in the last update. As of now we’re looking at
an MOQ of 30 pieces per bottom piece (30 Brass bottom &
30 Aluminum bottom) and still no limit. With this MOQ were
targeting a price point of $450 USD for the Aluminum bottom
kit, and $550 USD for the Brass bottom kit.

Prototype cases have arrived! Here is
the
Imgur
link for the full album, but I put a few up above. We are
still waiting on the pcbs and cannot wait to make a proper
build video to show these off. We ran into some issues that
delayed groupbuy date, but we’re hoping for around a month
out. You can stay updated with everything going on through
here or over on our
Discord
server

Hey everyone, I’m sorry there’s been
such a big gap between updates. I’ve been struggling with
pcb testing, and I wanted to exhaust every resource before
making a post on here. I’m in need of help with
qmk/flashing. I’m currently at a stand still and not
sure what to try next to get it to work properly. If you
have experience and would like to offer help, I would really
appreciate it! Please hit me up either on here or over on
discord, and thank you in advance!
