NK65 Olivia Edition on sale for $160

That’s a crazy deal, right? keycaps alone are pretty expensive IIRC

Yes and no; it’s a set endorsed by Olivia, but it’s not the GMK version. I believe the NK65 Olivia comes with a DSA version - also very nice caps, but a totally different animal than the highly sought-after GMK Olivia sets.

If you’ve never used DSA before, it’s a uniform height profile with a small, spherically scoped top surface. It’s about as tall as Cherry’s shortest rows.

It’s DSS :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Derp. Non-uniform sculpted profile sibling of DSA. That dark version is looking pretty sweet…

Keybored has a video covering the ceramic keycaps made by Cerakeys. Buzzwords aside, there’s a nice sound recording at the end.

Hostswap JST H60 with a Tsangan bottom row can be pre-ordered now. Don’t forget to pick up a daughterboard off of the site as well.

Thank you very much!

This is cool and all, but how come they don’t mention compatibility? The only thing I know is that it is NOT compatible with the Unikorn.

I am assuming this is a hotswap Bakeneko style PCB? Nothing about any other cases it might work with.

My guess is that it’s a pretty standard 60% PCB that fits most every standard 60% board (bottom, top, gasket mounted) with maybe a a few exceptions like the Unikorn or similar gummy o-ring designs.

The PCB is based on the classic GH60 design which is the grandaddy of universal 60%'s.

You may be able to find more answers on his GH thread or his discord server. If you’re wondering about a specific board, ask him directly in the PCB channel on the server.

Has Plastik even shipped all of the GB units yet?

Nope, he’s slightly above 50% shipped.

But he won’t ship extras until GBs done.

So basically he ran out of cash from the groupbuy and needs an infusion of funds, lol.

Sadly I might bite on another, haha.

wow the yellow boards still look awesome, so bright they’d probably look incredibly garish to some folks but they look amazing to me. It is a shame the entire GB reads as pretty scummy at this point.

With zero fanfare Play Keyboards opened up CA66 R3 orders - if you get the non-bluetooth PCB they plan to ship NEXT MONTH (June 2022).

The price is super fair. @Manofinterests it looks like I might get my CA66 R3 before my Vortex PC Jr clone arrives! LOLOL
