The Heavy-6 (now resurrected in polycarbonate)

Is this board ever going to be restocked? Such as for the currently out of stock colors (aerospace/tactical)? If not, will there be a second round?

Given the limited availability of the underlying keyboard, I don’t have any restock plans, so if you want one, now would be a good time to snag what I have left in stock. :slight_smile:

I see, I’ll have to find the aerospace colorway on the secondhand market, most likely. Your finishes are too nice to recolor.

Did you end up wanting to keep both, dc_in_sf?

If not … I’m interested…

Heavy-6 Monolith with BKE Light domes, lubed Novatouch sliders, stabilizers, and housings, and GMK Metropolis.

This is as close to endgame as it gets for me!

Until the end of Easter (this Sunday), I have resurrected the Heavy-6 in polycarbonate.

WHAAAAT???

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH. MUST BUY MUST BUY.

You rock, sir. You rock.

Now, the bad thing is, I have a heavy6 already. And I bought the TX 660c case for my other 660c. So… now I will have to own 3 of these babies? Oh boy. let’s see… maybe I can do a dome swap this time.

So, the big Q… when do you think these will be ready to ship? Is it impossible to say? DAMN YOU, COVID-19!

I think it won’t be too bad since the housings don’t require a secondary coating. My estimate it about 6-8 weeks.

How much weight does this version add compared to the regular heavy-6?

With the keyboard installed, it weighs 3.2 pounds, or just around a 1kg–heavier than you would expect for something that’s clear polycarbonate of its size.

Has anyone ever posted the black on black keycap variant with polycarb? I checked the Mark II poly images and didn’t see one. Anyone got a pic? Might go that route.

Leopold needs to make an FC660C RGB version hahaha

Im in the same boat, I have a TX-66 on the way because I fell in love with my Heavy-6, wanted some custom cap options. But damnit do I want this!

I’ll take one off your hands if having three is a problem for you! :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

I like how this is causing me to have FOMO despite not having a FC660C

I love the shit out of my Heavy-6, but hated the PC on my Noxary 268.2, this though… I don’t want to spend the money lol but I need to

Here’s a quickie sunlit pic of mine, I originally bought a RGB RF for it and it matches very well, but I think the deeper feel of the stock 55g version in polycarb is worth the trade off for no lighting. I put the RGB in a VHS case.
This is easily my favorite board to type on and an FC660C version being offered is the quickest no-hesitation keyboard purchase I’ve fired off, thanks Ryan!

Looks great. Cool modifiers. Where are they from?

Assorted Hotkeys Project pieces I had lying around from sifting through their website and the Serika-related buy.
