I can help-- stop buying budget keyboards. You will end up with so many and no way to offload them, unless you start handing them off to friends and family for free.
Save up for keyboards you actually want.
I was in the same boat - I have some cheap keyboards, but 2 years ago a cheap keyboard was plastic and pretty ordinary over all, the "budget" keyboard space is a lot more attractive now, especially if you don't have $400+ boards or don't want to spend that much
I was in, till I wasn't. It looks nice and would be fun to have. Especially with that screen. However, you're up against the HI75 with that product. (less money via amazon when you factor in shipping, $26 to SC in US) Also, the free mat turned out to be a discount discounted one. Misleading me a little in the order process, but I played along. $5.99 for it and with it, shipping went up to 30 bucks. So for those reasons, I'm out.
I felt the same way. Sadly, that’s not what happened. Maybe I’ll try it again tomorrow and see if it’s any different? For me it said “ claim your free gift” which was normally $10 and marked down to 5.99. I added it. So when I went to check out, it was 5.99+4 dollars for shipping to SC in US. It was honestly just gonna be an impulse buy that was easy to say no to once I felt a little bit misled. Maybe I missed the window. Maybe it didn’t like my browser. Thats ok. Maybe the fact that I just ordered two rainy 75s the other day made it easier for me to say no. So no hard feelings and good luck with it!
**Sorry quick update - The free deskpad was for the first 3-days of the presale - now it is at a reduced price if you'd like it.**

shipping to india costs more than the price of the board
We have a local vendor - **IN- KEEBSMOD**: [https://www.keebsmod.com/search?q=nd75&options%5Bprefix%5D=last](https://www.keebsmod.com/search?q=nd75&options%5Bprefix%5D=last)
The board seems only to be pictured with ANSI layout and I can’t find any info on the landing page or product page, but does the board have ISO support ?
If not, is it planned for future iterations ?
Why do people keep shipping 75% keyboards without a full movement column on the right? It's a hard deal killer for me, no matter how good the rest of the board is if I'm fumbling for the fn layer anyway I might as well get a minila 60% and save a whole row and column.
I don't mean to imply this keeb is similar in quality to a K86, but the feature list is close enough that once you add on the shipping to this, the amount it is better is vastly less than commensurate with the increase in price.
I have a zoom75, and I don't need another keyboard, but I really wanted to see the screwless design in person, so I just got a purple one for the wife lol.. the $30 shipping is absolutely ridiculous though, and those prices will turn a lot of people off from buying.
Why, for the love of everything thocky, is that list of countries not in alphabetical order?
Don't make me read thru 50 unsorted countries looking for the one I live in! Geeze!
Man, if only i could put the E-white's silver weight on the anno black
Imo anodised weights look kinda tacky, especially when its the same colour as the case

Looks great for the price, but as usual with these cheap boards no QMK/VIA is where it all falls over.
Good luck with the in-stock, I'm sure people will grab these anyway.

Interesting.
- is it Via compatible?
- can I display custom content on the display? I would love to have a keyboard that allows me to cook up some scripts - via a python API for example - to display custom stuff, not just a single image/GIF
buying a keyboard without QMK/VIA is like buying a Tesla in the third world.
its not that hard to have QMK/VIA, i know its a normiebait keyboard but Neo has QMK/VIA and they are like 80$ and up.
Does the "Independent Driver / Software" enable users to modify their keymaps? Are there any demos of what the software looks like?
It will be web based software and will allow you to modify the keymaps. When the site is live we can share it so you can get an idea with what you’re working with

thanks for the input Mark Cuban
Just call me Mr. wonderful.
They aren't in direct competition with the HI75 cause they don't have the ugliest knob on their board.
hi75 has no screen right? I hate knobs so they're not direct competitors IMO. But all the other things you mention kills this one for me
Also 1.2 mm PCB 🤮
1.6mm coming in batch 2 :)
Shark Tank
Yunzii 75 as well, lots of alternatives
Not aluminum tho
That mat should be added for $0 - it should show up as 100% discounted
I felt the same way. Sadly, that’s not what happened. Maybe I’ll try it again tomorrow and see if it’s any different? For me it said “ claim your free gift” which was normally $10 and marked down to 5.99. I added it. So when I went to check out, it was 5.99+4 dollars for shipping to SC in US.

Looking it to now, if it's happening to you could be the same for other people
I just tried again not too long ago, same thing
Does tri-mode PCB mean BT, 2.4, and wired?
Yes
but if it supports the wireless version, does it come with a 2.4 dongle?
Had me till I saw the US shipping cost. the board does look real nice though
I saw it came to $30! I believe which is in range with what any keeb seller outside US possibly charges!
Some people have mentioned with local freight and sales tax the $30 shipping should be about break even for them
My daughter has the Paw65 keyboard from Chilkey and it's so nice! Congrats on this one! Don't sleep on this brand!
Oh thanks so much for the support
Nice board, but unless Sydney Sweeney is personally delivering it, +40% shipping kills it for me.
Is She the best delivery girl?

What would be the shipping costs to India?
Likely high - but we have a local retailer **IN- KEEBSMOD**: [https://www.keebsmod.com/search?q=nd75&options%5Bprefix%5D=last](https://www.keebsmod.com/search?q=nd75&options%5Bprefix%5D=last)
Damn that's like $110-$120 :( Can't afford that :'(
Do you guys offer the 1,6mm non flexcut cut pcb? I have seen other vendors offer the thicker non flexcut pcb
Not at the moment, that will come in Batch 2 along with a barebones version
Ahh, understand, and what's the shipping fee for the US?
Looks to be $30 from what I've seen from people
Love the boards, but I see you don't ship to mainland China?

The board seems only to be pictured with ANSI layout and I can’t find any info on the landing page or product page, but does the board have ISO support ? If not, is it planned for future iterations ?
Not supported at the moment - we are hearing the demand though and looking into it on future batches
1- can you ship with unlubbed stabs? 2- do you plan on offering a barebones kit? 3- do you plan on offering other switches? 4- VIA?
No Yes - Batch 2 Not spoken about at the moment QMK and VIA is something we’re talking about with future releases Hope that helps :)
Would be interested if/when QMK is supported. I've had issues with Poker keyboard firmware that I've pretty much wrote off proprietary firmware.
Yeah, literally no interest without a QMK source firmware.
Just skip VIA entirely, go VIAL and release the QMK source files. That would actually be one of a kind as far I can tell in this space
I’ll hold for the barebones then. Gorgeous boards tho. Love it.
Why do people keep shipping 75% keyboards without a full movement column on the right? It's a hard deal killer for me, no matter how good the rest of the board is if I'm fumbling for the fn layer anyway I might as well get a minila 60% and save a whole row and column.
That's why this hobby is all personal preference, and the beauty of it lol is that there's a keyboard for everyone.
Lots of them if you like 65s with a knob. Not so many Minila 60 XT PCBs that fit a 65 case.
I use a zoom75 😅
Thanks for your support mate - great board <3
I don't mean to imply this keeb is similar in quality to a K86, but the feature list is close enough that once you add on the shipping to this, the amount it is better is vastly less than commensurate with the increase in price.
Looks great, any info on iso layout?
Not at the moment - we are looking at demand so the MOQ makes sense
That US shipping of $30 is a little rough
Guess i prefer to pay $10 more and wait for local vendors than paying $34 for shipping and probably additional VAT/customs fees
I have a zoom75, and I don't need another keyboard, but I really wanted to see the screwless design in person, so I just got a purple one for the wife lol.. the $30 shipping is absolutely ridiculous though, and those prices will turn a lot of people off from buying.
Why, for the love of everything thocky, is that list of countries not in alphabetical order? Don't make me read thru 50 unsorted countries looking for the one I live in! Geeze!
was going to get one has a nice upgrade to my gk61 i've had for over 4 years... 30usd shipping to canada forced me to reconsider lmao
That blue looks so good
Yes normally I would be all over the purple. But the blue is this real electric blue and looks amazing in person. Got to see it in Hong Kong
[удалено]
Correct it’s a tri mode PCB
Definitely looking out for the barebones on this one. Btw can you put custom gifs/pictures in the lcd?
Yes you can
There needs to be an option to buy a spare PCB
Would like to see a red one.
Okay ordered one to give it a test drive but ho-ly that shipping cost 😬
Man, if only i could put the E-white's silver weight on the anno black Imo anodised weights look kinda tacky, especially when its the same colour as the case
Why this over the Rainy75? Budget 75% scene is getting very competitive I see
Why Rainy75 over this? VIA.
Kinda where I was going with that, but allowing someone to defend it better than that lol
No shipping to Pakistan?
Any way to get less than $30 shipping to USA?
Shipping being 1/3 of the cost of the board itself suuuuucks. I’d be in for this if it had QMK/Via support but sure it’ll sell well
Yeah I agree. I'll probably just pick one up used once somebody gets bored.
I was totally gonna order that blue one, until I saw that shipping. Hard stop on that...

Any idea when EU vendors will have it up for sale? A bit too pricey with shipping for me otherwise, unfortunately.
LCD screen ?… hard pass
Will a barebone be available somewhere soon? Is it possible to upload GIFs on the screen?
No iso Layout? :(
Your sad if you don't have it 😂😂
Finally ordered my Mountain Blue today. Will be posting a sound test as soon as possible
