Just wanted to confirm that yes it is a CSTM80 with White Devil top case, which is currently in the sampling (that is a real photo, not a render) and approval phase. It unfortunately couldn't launch at the same time as the set, but it is coming soon!
Aspen77765 is not out of the question, things just tend to start with the CSTM80 as a proof of concept, with the CSTM65 version coming later. Both because of the age of the platforms (CSTM80 has been around longer), and popularity of the layouts.
There is a separate factor with these highly designed cases where the CSTM80 lends itself really nicely to detailed designs with the area between the arrows and nav cluster, which the CSTM65 does not have. So inherently there are also some challenges porting a similar design to the 65 platform (without diluting the design) due to that too.
HoffmanMysterWould I be able to purchase the full kit (case and keys) when that drops? Or will only the case drop and the caps should be purchased now?
DmalerkThe plan is to offer it as a fully built kit later in the year 👍 (plans always subject to change of course, etc) Worth noting though that the prebuilt board will come with the keys mounted, plus a few additional accents in the box for swapping. So if you went the prebuilt route and decided later to mount the keycap set on a different board, your options would be limited to other boards with the same layout.
OtharsisThe top case on its own is planned to launch very soon, within the next week. The fully built board that was asked about in this thread will be at least a few months out from now.
DmalerkGuys thank you for the interest. It means a lot. Sorry I didn't check the questions until now. This is a shell case for the CSTM80. I'm not sure why it wasn't release at the same time but I'm sure they are working on it.
Yep, won't be any compatibility issues (like a weird-sized spacebar, etc). Only thing to note is the column of "G" keys on the far left of the K100—you'll need to use some of the extra keys to fill those out. Up to the individual as to whether that's suitable or you'd prefer specific legends on them.
