Hey my keeb friends, after receiving great feedback and testing the prototypes via the Interest Check, it's time SPACE65:CyberVoyager is ready for the Group Buy.


SPACE65:CyberVoyager is a keyboard based on the original Space65, it is redesigned by AirPotter, Oldcat, and Demos to make it a more awesome board. And we will be working together during the GB process.
I will primarily be the ground man responsible for designing, manufacturing, fulfillment, and update the progress.
And Oldcat will be coordinating with me for designing and communication, Demos responsible for the design and production of PCB.

Each board may not be 100% perfect but we will try our best to do it 100% perfectly. A special note regarding the PCB, every PCB we produce in this round will go through 2 rounds of QC, but there is always a slim chance the QC fails (<1%). A word of wisdom for all first time GB friends, always test the PCB before you solder the board. If there are any issues or dead keys (note the Fn key will not show up) with the PCB upon arrival of the board, please email me and request a free replacement (with proof showing dead keys with a tweezer). Do not solder before tweezer testing the PCB. Once soldered we, unfortunately, cannot provide free replacements.

Thanks all!
