Oh thank god they're doing another run of this keyboard, I was so bummed when I missed out the first time. Sometimes I hate this hobby because of the group buy stuff but I also understand why they have to do it.

I love that olive drab colour, I've been looking for a keyboard that has a bit of that military look and this is very interesting.

You can always send your keyboard case to someone to reanodize or cerakote it whatever color you want

This was my first custom kit. I got a B-stock kit in the same green color, and I paired it with Arctic Fox switches thanks to your video on the Class80 prototype. Other than the right control key not working (a key I don't really use at all), I couldn't be happier with it.

I love the papers please shirt

Can't wait for the full review!

Gorgeous case design. The green looks different - less matte - here than on their website. The colour reminds me of the 'military' paint used on toys from when I was a kid. Also very curious about the topre - that's an extra $100. Any idea what the total cost is, all in? I think manually foaming a keyboard is maybe less common because many/most? come pre-foamed(?).

Forget the keyboard, nice shirt, good game.

You need to hurry up and do a bbox60 review! There’s like 5 different color ways including an IKEA color scheme that would really be funny for some reason. Maybe even get the irocks plate and PCB that’s going around and install irocks blues in it!

Nice shirt dude. Glory to Arstotzka.

Looks nice, but are they ever going to make one with the correct number of keys?

I too love that olive drab colour, it is my second favorite keyboard colour after the industrial grey of the IBM keyboards. I don't own any green keyboards, so that would make it interesting. I don't have much experience with a soldering iron however, so I don't think I'll "be able to" buy this keyboard...

Ever thought of designing your own keyboard? I'm sure youd have some interesting ideas

Ideas yes, definitely, but the amount of work (and money) involved is absolutely insane. I know how much work Joe had to put into even just resurrecting the F, which is a known design.

@@Chyrosran22 that's fair. Personally, the money part worries me the most. It's either out of pocket or with other people's money from a group buy on a board I wouldn't even have prototypes made yet. Feels backwards. Anyways would you think it's more effort trying to painstakingly recreate someone else's design or making your own from scratch? I feel like trying to recreate vintage boards with modern adjustments would be way harder than making your own original design

@Chyrosran22

8 ай бұрын

@@incongruous4 I think it's definitely harder as you don't have to design new things and therefore have to test in a much more thorough way, plus you need more skills and knowledge. That said, even resurrecting an old board is extremely hard. Suppose I'd want to bring back a Focus FK-5001 with blue Alps and a calc that can send to PC, I can't even imagine how difficult that'd be.

I've seen this board elsewhere and I really love the idea of topre-style switches with MX mount compatibility inside a custom keyboard... I've always been curious about topre but the actual offering is rather lacking IMO so the prospect of seeing it done elsewhere is really exciting. I'm not dropping 500$ on this ridiculous chonker though, maybe they'll widen their range a little bit and make is available in like a reasonably-sized 75% board.

@@nickthaskater true, it's not completely done but people started to realize that foam board sounds similar then they back with no foam config and called it "classic" which is kinda funny because it sounds lifelessly dead like in an early 2017-2019 ish keyboard hobbyist really love since the switch sounds really boring unlike the true vintage classic board.

While foam in a keyboard is somewhat contentious. It is almost universally agreed that the inclusion of foam is a good thing. The practical wisdom is that a good keyboard shouldn't NEED foam to sound good.

And hence boards that include foam usually include it because they need to. It isn't often that boards that sound good without foam include foam.

Not sure who said that, but I would take ALL THE FOAM over hollow and shitty sounding keyboard.
