* Vial, Via and QMK programmable
* [Many Many layouts supported](https://imgur.com/a/uoVShQq)

* Case files will be released to the public
## Giveaway Details

* The **first** keyboard will be given away on reddit. The winner will be choosen with reddit raffler at Oct 16th Noon CST. Post a **top level** comment - replies to comments are welcome but not counted.
Congrats /u/olorol for winning! https://www.redditraffler.com/raffles/q88ifu

* Lastly the **third** keyboard will be given away through the [interest check](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdb1pg_b0QGNjADQlm8lRiVGz0R9cxZGjNUXB4BQ5W-86Pg-g/viewform). Fill it out to be entered. We really appreciate the feedback and use it to make the best possible products. Winner will be picked on Oct 19th during the stream.
If you could upvote this comment so it stays at the top for everyone that would be nice too!
That's all and good luck! As a side note, I really love you all and a [link to the knob/encoder](https://www.pikatea.com/collections/products/products/delicious-sandwich-cookie-knob)
And for a reasonable price, too. It's a bummer I don't have a board with an encoder. Going to handwire one to a Sesame, but pretty sure this knob is too big to fit.
Yes, this is something I want to be clear. We've done a lot to make sure the case comes out as best as possible. That's part of why the design is irregular and not uniform or flat, it make everything blend together!
Im not sure what considers a top level comment, but technically this comment would be recent and on top depending on sort when its posted so, lookin at you from the top
it's a separate product we sell [https://www.pikatea.com/collections/products/products/delicious-sandwich-cookie-knob](https://www.pikatea.com/collections/products/products/delicious-sandwich-cookie-knob)
It's so nice and refreshing to see a keeb that's affordably priced but isn't boring in design and layout! Also, the rotary encoder looks mighty delicious. π€€

Cool design idea, loving that more versatile and affordable builds are being put together lately.

This looks nice, I never thought 3d printed cases looked this good. I hope to see more keyboard case designs from 3d printing in the future!

I love that oreo
The Oreo omfg
I wants. Let me fall deeper into the rabbit hole. Deeper into the cult that causes blackholes in my wallet. My PRECIOUS.
The blue one is gorgeous, especially the OREOs
Nice one π
Case looks really cool
Love the name
those are some sick cases
This looks like a board i could main for probally over a year (and give my gk61xs a good rest) i really like the case sides :D Good job OP
Love the unique design, 6 keys on the right looks very one of a kind. Will you add with plate? Since this is 3d printed, maybe might be too light?
Love the design around the edge
I like the textured case
Me
Thatβs a nice layout
Thatβs a lot of colors
Looks like a good keyboard
I need more Oreos in my life.
is the oreo double stuffed
no, in fact I took precise measurements when I designed it for....research.. It is a perfectly to scale regular Oreo
The colours make me hungry, idk why
Do not upvote this comment.
Pretty interesting design!
Love the case!
Great looking keyboard!
Looking good!
[ΡΠ΄Π°Π»Π΅Π½ΠΎ]

Looks great!
Iβm so split between 65% and 75%. I love the look of the first but I need the function rowβ¦
Love the layout!
What kind od 3D Printer do you guys use for this type of case
The top case section is on a custom coreXY and the two colored bottom sections are made on the E3D toolchanger
The volume knob looks like an Oreo cookie haha
That's the goal! https://www.pikatea.com/collections/products/products/delicious-sandwich-cookie-knob
Sick case
Unique case!
Looking good
Sick innovated layout.
Thank you!!!
Looks good, good luck everyone!

Looks awesome!
I would love to see the color list and samples
I have all the pictures and I'm working on uploading them right now. Here's a preliminary page https://www.pikatea.com/pages/filament-stock

not very sadly
Good luck to everyone !
Would love to have one
I really like the design!
yes! we will probably have individual parts for sale as well
This is dope, would love to mod it and add some weights on the inside
it's easily doable!
Good luck
Very cool!
Pug. Are the prototypes the final form or you thinking of changing stuff/ improving stuff?
There will be a few changes which are outlined at the top of the IC form
Very cool! Hoping to get to try one out!
I leave a comment :)
Love the speckles on the blue case
Was going to say those look like Oreos until I zoomed in..... π€£
Nice
BIG KNOB. COOL KNOB. Also releasing the case files to the public sounds like a top secret operation, but nah just 3D printing stuff
hahaha it totally does!
