Let me introduce the first effort of FoxLab - Orange. I named it Orange because the inspiration comes from Oranges. I provide the thinner design and high quality material. They make the keyboard out of the ordinary. Wish you will like it.

It comes with rubber feet

Nice job~

Any chance of a spacer for side lighting options in the future? Its a beautiful design and I'll probably (definitely) join but that would complete it for me.

I know that feature is pretty cool and popular. However we're not gonna add the side lighting to Orange because Orange was designed to be thin and the side lighting will make it thicker.

We'll absolutely consider adding side lighting and other cool features to our future products.

Fair enough. Beautiful board nonetheless, thanks for responding!

Woooow, way more beautiful than I could have imagined!!! Beautiful work!

Learn something: microarc oxidation on Aluminium to achieve a white finish.

If the orange logo at the bottom is the weight / plate, then it is indeed quite fancy.

I just saw this, wish I could have got in on it!

Not the apple variety "Cox Orange", then?

Hello all! Without going into too much (embarrasing) detail, I'll get to the point. I may need a replacement PCB for this beautiful keyboard. If anyone has one they can part with, please let me know. I would be internally grateful!

Fox-lab is about to put out their GB for their second TKL, it might be possible to buy a PCB from this upcoming group buy: https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=91625.0

I don't want to make any assumptions, though! It would be best to PM senter/runningback and ask! =)

I did reach out to Senter to see if it would have the same PCB, but haven't heard back yet. Thanks for the reminder though! I'll follow up with him.
