The Whitefox Eclipse is not THE Whitefox

- Few weeks ago Kono and Alpaca keyboards announced the WhiteFox Eclipse. In 2016 I worked on the original Whitefox but *I am NOT involved in any way with the new Whitefox Eclipse.*

I didn't know the history of the 65% layout. Thank you for creating it, I have a lot of 65% boards these days 😅
because of chyrosranbi came here, thank you for the 65% layout
keycap legends alignments are similar to an Apple keyboard, but fonts and icons not as refined as the ones on Apple keyboards...
I'm still using my white fox keyboard still works great to this day :)
The keycaps are a fail when you look closer. Definitely.
I have two of the original WhiteFox keyboards and this looks like a fun daily driver.
I had the same thought when I heard of the Eclipse, kinda outdated for the modern enthusiast scene. Although you do make a good point about it being a good choice for normies who want a mech but really don't want to get into the hobby. That said I agree the pricing might be a bit high for that & so far it seems the advertising has been pushed towards enthusiasts. It would probably do them a world of good to be pushing this more towards normies & gamers while lowering the price by a good $20. I originally thought it was gonna be a metal case which would've put the pricing right around it's sweet spot. Although with boards like the Portico & KBD67lite out there, this being plastic really puts it behind the curve there. Guess we'll have to see if these fly or not when they are released.
This is a great video @Matt3o. You are strong, and can be proud, because you are doing a terrific job. Thank you.
