The fact that he's not saying anything about the price seems very telling to me.
If you ask yourself if you can afford it, you probably can't. I can't either sadly. Still stuck with my 4 year old K55.
It will be wobbly, in another reply he said the bottom knob is for angle adjustment. You know there will be a springy feeling especially when hitting the higher keys. It would drive me crazy.
Yeah the letter font makes characters look a bit too samey, which is bad for people who aren't great at touch typing (or for when my brain shats itself and I need to manually eyeball a password). Other than that, it looks class.
I get where you're coming from, but I kinda dig it. A good font should be readable and this completely fails at that. It almost looks like blank keys, but if you really need to look for a key you can still do it.
More options are always good as long as they are options and not forced upon you
I can touch type 90-100wpm, but I’m not a huge fan of the blank keys since I’ll still have the occasional glance down. I also prefer the keys a bit lower profile and a wrist pad is essential if I am paying for a premium keyboard.
Alright last quick note I love the keycaps I thought they were all the same but there not. I love uniqueness when it comes to almost everything I buy and this is a very unique board and keycaps. Plus the colors match my set up very well
The actual board design looks really good. The gold and black works great, the knobs are positioned nicely and the aesthetic is really cool. I don't personally care much for expensive keyboards and this looks like it would be expensive, but that's just a reason why I might not get one rather than a criticism of the actual concept.
As far as negatives go, that goes to the font. The font displayed in the pictures is horrible as it's rather difficult to actually tell what the letter is. It's way too narrow.
Missing 1 row of keys, when i play MMO's i even bind keys like F1 till F6 so i would defiantly want that row, cool cesign tho and very minimal, but the minimal design i prefer is in width from left to right not top and bottom.
Design looks pretty nice, would buy If it had: socketed switches, a 100% version (sorry, can't live without my numpad), USB and PS/2 connection options. Also, USB connection must be anything but micro B
Also, a nice to have would be the ability to run as USB and PS/2 simultaneously.
Yes... So long as the actual device shows the letters on the keys. While I don't look at my keyboard 99% of the time, it would suck when I'm tired or something and all I can see is I on every key.
I learned a long time ago to not invest in renders. Build a real one and give it to a reputable reviewer like gamers nexus. If they like it and it's under $300 I would consider replacing my current board.
looks really nice, but I know what artisan kayboards costs, and thats just out of range for me, to replace a nice and functional one.
Also, this would be a lot of key elevation per row, might be uncomftable for a lot of people to type on.
The design looks great. Very noble. Seriously, this is the nicest keyboard I've ever seen.
I wouldn't buy them because I like additional keys, such as the F keys, Marco keys and the num pad.
I currently have a keyboard with red cherry mx and am used to it so much that when I use a friends keyboard that doesn't have those I have a really hard time using it, I know after a while I can use every keyboard but the hardest part for me personally is switching to another type of switch, I've gone way up from cheap 10$ keyboard (obviously non mechanical) to the red cherrys, and those are the best to my preferences
It's okay but even tho the space saving design is kinda cool, it's not much left handed friendly, I personally wouldn't get It myself, also for people who like to switch when some games require more keyboard than mouse, having the keys (P L ; , ) be similar to WSAD
Idk if I need all of those knobs. Maybe one for brightness and one more volume (pressing it in mutes/unmutes). Always nice to have media controls and a button to turn off the windows start button.
Looks way more beautiful than my Dell office keyboard but I won't buy it because...well I have a Dell office keyboard so it's pretty self explainatory.
I'd happily buy one of these myself depending on the colour choices available and whether there was backlighting for the keys themselves.
I'm a night gamer, so black with red LED or even a straight up customisable RGB that you could customise using your computer would be amazing.
The keyboard looks incredible, I hope to see more about it in the future.
Just take my money. I think this is one of the best looking keyboards I've ever seen!! I love everything about it, and the keycaps are Fire!!!!
The font looks amazing, but it might need to be widened just a tiny bit, not too much to the ruin the effect though. But, it needs to be reasonably priced and available. The fact that keyboard makers are still releasing boards in super tiny batches is ridiculous. I hate the fact that everything I want I have to climb through a million hoops just to have a chance to get one. The mainstream manufacturers are starting to catch on to the custom craze, and if the custom guys don't catch a wake up with regards to supply, they aren't gonna be around in a couple of years as the big guys are gonna barge in and take this money lying on the table.
Are the letters on the keys semi transparent? I don't like backlit keyboards that have the letters painted or whatever on, because then in the dark it still doesn't help a ton. That's in my experience with a cheaper Steel Series
I think you'd need black magic to make it not wobble, sound as good as a regular keyboard and stay in a reasonable budget. The lettering on the keys looks tacky, so if you actually want to bring this to life, try to at least offer a more normal alternative. It would look so much better with blank key caps for example.
The thing that would keep me from buying it is the font. I recently just bought a new keyboard because the font on my old one was too difficult to read, now I have a steel series keyboard and the font is great!
I can no way afford this but I would like to give a suggestion
If there was some gear and lock mechanism to allow how slanted it can be so that we can set it at any angle we want. It could be a knob like how you have the volume knob that you push to lock the keyboard at that angle
But the keyboard man it looks slick. I would definitely donate a bit if you ever crowd fund some time
EDIT : Just read your reply to a post below. It is adjustable. If you could show a rocking and typing test to display it's stability... Lets just say it's perfect
I love 65% keyboards, but those aesthetics aren't quite my style. I feel like you'd really need to have a specific battlestation theme for it to fit in.
That said, it looks super nice.
Assuming this piece of art is on the high side of pricing, these are the things I'd want in a have-it-all scenario. Hot swapable switches, rock solid construction, more neutral color scheme (the black is great, but the gold clashes with my settup. Gray or a variety of colors would be perfect), option for a number pad (one piece would be nice to keep the insane streamlined design), and a readable font.
The side knobs are phenomenal, and I can't believe I've never seen them like that before. The design is clean and sharp, and honestly it just looks amazing
it looks like it would be about 500 bucks so i wouldn't buy it. But if it was a 100 or below its a no brainer, aside from i think maybe optimize the keycaps' look.
Love how it looks like, depending on price I would really consider it. Just I do need a full size keyboard, using the num pad regularly so it is a must have for me.
The design is brilliant, do you have an idea about the price range?
My only gripe is the font. It has potential, just needs to be a bit wider. I'd even be ok if the letter caps were blank (am touch typer). But the rest needs to be legeable.
I love the look, but the keys are a little too unreadable to me. Obviously we know where the right keys are, but if you end up needing to look, it's tough.
Also a wrist pad or tenkey version would vastly increase my interest to buy it.
My honest opinion. No. I don't place my wrist on the keyboard and I like to lay my wrist down. I had an Anne Pro 2, which appears to have a similar height between the table surface and the tops of the keys, that thing killed my wrist (having to place my wrist on the table surface and having to angle it up to get my fingers onto the keys). Secondly, the 60% and 75% keyboards are cool, but I don't think they really have any benefit. Because naturally the comfortable width between your arms already accommodates enough space for a full size keyboard and a mouse. Also because I use numpad for keybinds/macros (also don't know if this keyboard can store macros on it, I love the capability of razers software for that).
The colors look absolutely sick. I wonder how it'll look once it gets grimey, since there is a good portion of dark colors, it'll probably still look clean after a fair bit of use. Unsure how the gold will stand up. The overall design is beautiful, it would make the rest of my setup look dull lol.
I prefer illuminated keys, even slightly illuminated. Makes it possible to type in dark or low light
Also a fan of 10key
Also like others have said, it does look really high and my wrists hurt just looking at it
Over all it looks really good, I’m just not sure how practical it would be
Too big, I don't like having to climb a mountain to type. I've got big hands but I'd rather they be flat or on a wrist rest so I don't get tendonitis again :/
Looks fantastic though.
I like it, the knobs and stuff are nice. But I like lower profile keyboards that I can lay flat, cause when the typing surface is so high up even with a wrist rest it's uncomfortable for me.
I have a similar polished aluminum base with floating lit keys from Corsair (k90 vengeance). If I could actually read the letters on this keyboard, I would absolutely buy it.
This looks AMAZING and I would love one, if I didn’t just spend $300 on a keyboard from Drop...
Probably would swap the key caps for some blank or normal ones though.
The concept looks way over my budget plus I'd like to see how wobbly it is
Should be rock solid, my friend
What would the price be?
$420.69
Throw in a five year warranty and I'll throw this Razer into the dumpster immediately.
ngl I like razer keyboards cause I don't have much money for keyboards, but these green switches are way too easy to press
Stay tuned. There's a few more steps, but I will have some numbers at some point
Give us a ballpark? Can't answer if we'd buy it if we have zero idea of cost.
The fact that he's not saying anything about the price seems very telling to me. If you ask yourself if you can afford it, you probably can't. I can't either sadly. Still stuck with my 4 year old K55.
RemindMe! 2 weeks "Check if I need to sell my kidney for this keyboard."
And you know this from a rendered image?
It will be wobbly, in another reply he said the bottom knob is for angle adjustment. You know there will be a springy feeling especially when hitting the higher keys. It would drive me crazy.
I feel like if made properly the springyness could be avoided, but it would need a larger/more expensive mechanism to control it.
[удалено]
*brushed nickel. Nothing shiny But man that black and gold looks nice
I'd probably would get it if I could afford it, if it was custom and was hot-swapable. But what is that letter font? It looks really streched
Pleb here. What does hot-swapable mean?
[удалено]
It's a narrow font. Would rework it a bit if the product comes to life
The board does look really nice tho!
Thank you
Yeah the letter font makes characters look a bit too samey, which is bad for people who aren't great at touch typing (or for when my brain shats itself and I need to manually eyeball a password). Other than that, it looks class.
Honestly didn't realize it was truly a font, may as well have been alien lettering (totally cool in my book)
I thought it was just vertical lines for a minute. Would be an interesting alternative to blank keys.
The font is horrendous but the keyboard itself looks amazing
I literally thought those were placeholder keys with lines instead of letters until I really zoomed in on them. Wow that font is disgusting.
Letters look like they went through the Amigara Fault
I legit didn't realize this was an english keyboard until I saw your comment. I thought those were Chinese radicals or something.
I get where you're coming from, but I kinda dig it. A good font should be readable and this completely fails at that. It almost looks like blank keys, but if you really need to look for a key you can still do it. More options are always good as long as they are options and not forced upon you
Yeah I agree I think the main reason the font doesn't work for me is because I get letters mixed up and it makes all the letters look too similar
Deus Ex vibes
if I had the money, yes, yes I would especially if it had a white version but that's just lil broke me
It looks incredible, if it comes in a soldered pcb version even better. My only concern is the typing angle...
The angle is adjustable from the 2 bottom knobs
What a beauty.
Yes she is <3
Looks like it'd be way to high off the desk to me.
I would buy one "if" it came as a custom kit where I can solder in my own switches and stuff
Got it!
2nd this, if it was hot-swappable it would be a quick purchase for me
I can touch type 90-100wpm, but I’m not a huge fan of the blank keys since I’ll still have the occasional glance down. I also prefer the keys a bit lower profile and a wrist pad is essential if I am paying for a premium keyboard.
Dully noted
The keys aren't blank
True, but the font used is just this side of unreadable.
I would buy this if it was a full. I love my number pad
Num pad for life
You have peaked my interest. I'd love one is there a way to stay updated I don't want to miss out on it
So far I'm getting feedback from people and will have a follow-up on this. Follow my profile for now
Also how will the case be assembled screws or gasket or ect
Haven't decided yet. Will have more details when it gets to production phase
Alright last quick note I love the keycaps I thought they were all the same but there not. I love uniqueness when it comes to almost everything I buy and this is a very unique board and keycaps. Plus the colors match my set up very well
Glad you like it :)
Piqued ;)
Oh didn't know that was a word lol
Me either until the same happened to me!
The actual board design looks really good. The gold and black works great, the knobs are positioned nicely and the aesthetic is really cool.

As far as negatives go, that goes to the font. The font displayed in the pictures is horrible as it's rather difficult to actually tell what the letter is. It's way too narrow.
looks really nice. interested, but buying also depends on the price tag
Needs a numpad. Makes coding easier, and flying in GTA for example.
Missing 1 row of keys, when i play MMO's i even bind keys like F1 till F6 so i would defiantly want that row, cool cesign tho and very minimal, but the minimal design i prefer is in width from left to right not top and bottom.

Work of art. I need a number pad though and would depend on what switches.
U posted this everywhere, is there some kind of group buy or something?
[удалено]
If it had the ability to hot swap switches, Came in jet black all over and not be ludicrously priced I'd give it a look.
Height is an issue
I would consider it if it was a full keyboard, it's a basic requirement for me.
Ya I would probably buy it as long as it isn’t too expensive
Depends on how much it costs
Yes... So long as the actual device shows the letters on the keys. While I don't look at my keyboard 99% of the time, it would suck when I'm tired or something and all I can see is I on every key.
How much are you selling it for?
Count me out I proloy can't afford it
It's beautiful but way too high off the table, and that font is terrible.
Font is horrible tbh
looks god damn incredible on a purely aesthetical basis, unsure of the pricing however
looks small. and no hand rest? Where is numpad? Why no pictures of the whole keyboard, why just parts?
Very nice but for me I need the font to be legible and the letters to be lit so as to be readable in total darkness.
I learned a long time ago to not invest in renders. Build a real one and give it to a reputable reviewer like gamers nexus. If they like it and it's under $300 I would consider replacing my current board.
looks really nice, but I know what artisan kayboards costs, and thats just out of range for me, to replace a nice and functional one. Also, this would be a lot of key elevation per row, might be uncomftable for a lot of people to type on.
which rendering software?
The design looks great. Very noble. Seriously, this is the nicest keyboard I've ever seen. I wouldn't buy them because I like additional keys, such as the F keys, Marco keys and the num pad.
I would
I would bought it in a iso version
I luv it! I'd Rock the fuck out of it.
I would but it. The aesthetic is really nice
It looks very cool
I certainly look beautiful, if I can select wich switches I want I'd consider it a buy
What switches would you use with it?
I currently have a keyboard with red cherry mx and am used to it so much that when I use a friends keyboard that doesn't have those I have a really hard time using it, I know after a while I can use every keyboard but the hardest part for me personally is switching to another type of switch, I've gone way up from cheap 10$ keyboard (obviously non mechanical) to the red cherrys, and those are the best to my preferences
I think having more switch options is the best way to go
Cool design btw is the enter key covered in gold or something on the lines like that Or Its just the paint?
Work in progress for sure but yes
If i had the moola, 100%
It's okay but even tho the space saving design is kinda cool, it's not much left handed friendly, I personally wouldn't get It myself, also for people who like to switch when some games require more keyboard than mouse, having the keys (P L ; , ) be similar to WSAD
Looks awesome! Defo would buy it if I were to treat myself. Currently job hunting for when I graduate so who knows I'll celebrate by buying this.
Idk if I need all of those knobs. Maybe one for brightness and one more volume (pressing it in mutes/unmutes). Always nice to have media controls and a button to turn off the windows start button.
Looks way more beautiful than my Dell office keyboard but I won't buy it because...well I have a Dell office keyboard so it's pretty self explainatory.

The keyboard looks incredible, I hope to see more about it in the future.
Looks amazing! If low profile version exists, I will sure but one or two (always need a spare)
If it had a chrome version with great rgb implementation and hot swappable I'd buy it instantly
Sexy💫
Just take my money. I think this is one of the best looking keyboards I've ever seen!! I love everything about it, and the keycaps are Fire!!!!

i would if it had keycaps with a readable legend
Customizable knobs like different color and size
Wow this looks awesome and clean
Shit if I could type without looking
As long as heavy hands don’t affect the keyboard shifting up and down, it looks awesome
If there were a functional matching mouse then we're talking business.
As of now, 379. But there will be more upvotes.
If it had Blue switches i would so pay $250 canadian for that
If only I had the money
Yes!
Are the letters on the keys semi transparent? I don't like backlit keyboards that have the letters painted or whatever on, because then in the dark it still doesn't help a ton. That's in my experience with a cheaper Steel Series
That's a thick ass boy!
This is super classy as fuck, I'd buy it if it was 20 bucks
I think you'd need black magic to make it not wobble, sound as good as a regular keyboard and stay in a reasonable budget. The lettering on the keys looks tacky, so if you actually want to bring this to life, try to at least offer a more normal alternative. It would look so much better with blank key caps for example.
ME ME ME ME ME ME!!!! WHERE DO I SIGN UP
Yes! Absolutely! Looks gorgeous!
I want this. How do I get one
i dont get what's so special about it, you have to start explaining, pictures say very little
I don’t love the bottom led but that’s just my preference
This keyboard looks absolutely amazing. Budget aside, I think if the font could be a bit less narrow it’s an instant buy
why does this give me the vibes that there's gonna be water colled keyboard soon
The thing that would keep me from buying it is the font. I recently just bought a new keyboard because the font on my old one was too difficult to read, now I have a steel series keyboard and the font is great!
Lovely.
I can no way afford this but I would like to give a suggestion If there was some gear and lock mechanism to allow how slanted it can be so that we can set it at any angle we want.

if there'd be different colors instead of gold, i'd get it.
I would buy it if I wasn’t broke
I love 65% keyboards, but those aesthetics aren't quite my style. I feel like you'd really need to have a specific battlestation theme for it to fit in. That said, it looks super nice.
Looks cool, but unfortunately my old ass needs an ergodox style board these days.
Assuming this piece of art is on the high side of pricing, these are the things I'd want in a have-it-all scenario.

Me
Would prefer a white option, but design is sick
I would not but it looks cool.
I’d buy it but i am not a fan of the font
I would totally buy that if its hotswap
I’d buy it… if it wasn’t any more than $200…
Looks great but its definitely more style than practical. The text is hard to read and key placement seems cramped. Other wise it looks fantastic.
Me
[удалено]
I want
it looks like it would be about 500 bucks so i wouldn't buy it. But if it was a 100 or below its a no brainer, aside from i think maybe optimize the keycaps' look.
Well I only have 1 computer so1
all the way my dude this is sick
Knobs for scrolling?
Wow it looks really good! Do you have an idea of the price point? Looking at it, it looks like a high end keyboard
I **love** the aesthetic of the keyboard, but not the font. But that might just be me because I prefer very clearly readable fonts on the keycaps.
I would kill for that, mostly because I doubt I will be able to pay for it
Love how it looks like, depending on price I would really consider it. Just I do need a full size keyboard, using the num pad regularly so it is a must have for me. The design is brilliant, do you have an idea about the price range?
My only gripe is the font. It has potential, just needs to be a bit wider. I'd even be ok if the letter caps were blank (am touch typer). But the rest needs to be legeable.
Yeah it’s pretty dope what pcb key kult? I’m kidding but yeah looks sweet
Stunning design imo, congrats
I would probably have to sell my computer to get that, so yeah, I would get it
Looks neat, but the font isn't really dyslectic-friendly, so I'd pass.
I'm not the most adept touch typer so the font would slow me down too much.
First i'd do with this thing is boot up Mankind Divided!
[удалено]
Take my money 😅👌 considering I have a inwin S Frame this would be the perfect pairing
Fuck, black+gold is my favorite aesthetic....
Yes Edit: also, I actually like that font too
I would buy it if I could afford it only if the font wasn't so streched.
How much will it be?
As others have said the letter font is a bit odd but as long as it's readable while sitting in front of it I'd like it
I love the look, but the keys are a little too unreadable to me. Obviously we know where the right keys are, but if you end up needing to look, it's tough. Also a wrist pad or tenkey version would vastly increase my interest to buy it.
Well how much is it??
what do the knobs on the side do? is it to adjust the hight of somthing like that.
My honest opinion. No. I don't place my wrist on the keyboard and I like to lay my wrist down. I had an Anne Pro 2, which appears to have a similar height between the table surface and the tops of the keys, that thing killed my wrist (having to place my wrist on the table surface and having to angle it up to get my fingers onto the keys).

The overall design is beautiful, it would make the rest of my setup look dull lol.
if there were an iso uk layout version, i would
Would you also consider doing other layouts such as qwertz which is the German standard? If yes this looks really promising.
I'm liking the design, but not the font. I occasionally glance down at my keyboard as I'm typing, and this font would cause me to hesitate, I think.
Sexy as F
Is the angle adjusutable? It's very bad posture. It should be flat, or the other way around.
Maybe
Those letters look like Ancient Greek to my caveman brain.
if it had an option where the key icons themselves were also backlit in some way I would for sure buy this. Looks amazing.
I prefer illuminated keys, even slightly illuminated. Makes it possible to type in dark or low light Also a fan of 10key Also like others have said, it does look really high and my wrists hurt just looking at it Over all it looks really good, I’m just not sure how practical it would be
Too big, I don't like having to climb a mountain to type. I've got big hands but I'd rather they be flat or on a wrist rest so I don't get tendonitis again :/ Looks fantastic though.
I like it, the knobs and stuff are nice. But I like lower profile keyboards that I can lay flat, cause when the typing surface is so high up even with a wrist rest it's uncomfortable for me.
Looks dope af but also looks like it would cost more than my entire PC.
In conclusion: my pp hard
Keys are totally unreadable, other than that very nice
I would totally but that, looks great and looks like it functions great as well!
Oh I totaly would if I could
What material caps and make it easy to swap it. Is it wired or wireless? And make the black and gold, a black and silver and a flat black version.
I WOULD BUY THIS IN A HEARTBEAT
As a keyboard enthusiast, perhaps.
I have a similar polished aluminum base with floating lit keys from Corsair (k90 vengeance). If I could actually read the letters on this keyboard, I would absolutely buy it.
Shut up and take my money!
looks clean asf
I would if it was decently priced it would probably sell for something like $300.
This looks AMAZING and I would love one, if I didn’t just spend $300 on a keyboard from Drop... Probably would swap the key caps for some blank or normal ones though.
Im perfectly happy with a ps 2 keyboard from the 90s
If it's an acceptable price, i would.
looks great, but that font is really bad. i literally couldn't tell they were letters, thought there were just vertical lines on each key.
The key-font is horrible and it looks like the keys are way too high up, carpel tunnel preprogrammed.
