Hey, guys. After R1 spots sale, there are some friends are still interested in getting a THE50. And I got some feedback from R1 users and I think I could do some improvements. So I decide to make another round of THE50.

  1. I add a compatible layout which long spacebar is available on THE50 now.
  2. I will make southpaw version this round, here are two render pics.

  3. And enlightened by my friend who doesn’t show up on GH I think, I will make HHKB version this round. Personally I couldn’t use it, that’s why I’m working on Dimple. But I think some of you guys may like it.

  4. Due to the vendor issue, R1 got a barely OK solution of dual bottoms. I’m working on the redesign of THE50’s bottom. And I have to apologize to one R1 user, I can’t remember who, but I said to him I won’t change the design of the plate and bottom if I open another round. I’m so sorry but I really have to.
  5. R1’s quality is not good, that’s why I sell them for 120USD. But I really appreciate the R1 users didn’t blame me for this. The R2 will have good quality this time. Here is a picture of THE60 I recently made. R2 will have this gray blue and purple color beside Black\Gray\Silver.


    The Round 2 kit will include:
  6. Aluminum upcase
  7. Brass plate
  8. Aluminum Bottom (to be confirmed)
  9. Brass nameplate or weight (to be confirmed)
  10. PCB
    Time schedule: I will try my best to have them done before May. When done, FCFS. No reservation.
    Price: Haven’t finished the redesign and got quote from vendors yet but I think it definitely won’t be more than 180USD excluding shipment and Paypal fee.
    Quantity: I will make total 100 kits. The detailed quantities of different colors are to be decided.
    If you guys have any questions, feel free to comment and forgive me if I can’t reply in time.
    Special thanks to @TunnaTown who made THE50 a firmware in QMK configurator. The original is based on kbfirmware.
