For the time being, I’ve closed the buy in response to all the drama surrounding it. I’ll have a proper public statement soon, this is just preemptive damage control.
Cygnus is canceled; all orders will be properly refunded in full. Stay posted for more information.

/) hi geekhack
I’ll spare the fluff for this GB post. Full image album here.

Gasket, seamless, TKL without the f-row, and sports an RGB LED indicator.

Aluminum case. Brass weight, sandblasted.

Tsangan WKL unibody upper assembly is available in addition to the standard WK. Please note that production units will have a much lighter shade of green closer to mint green (Pantone 351 C). Incidentally, this render also shows an older variant that does not use a daughterboard.

Multiple plate options available, though it will ship BY DEFAULT with one brass plate
A typing test, as requested! Features SA/T1s on brass & GMK/Creams on POM.
Yikes, there was noise and people disliked it. I’ll do a better one later this week.
SPECIFICATIONS

Aluminum 6063-T6 upper & lower assembly + beadblasted & anodized or electrophoretic coating finish
Flex-cut plate suspended in a full isolation mount, supported by custom-cut shock absorbent PORON strips.
CYGNUS ships with a brass plate by default. Additional plates are available (see below)
Customizable RGB LED indicator, tied to caps lock by default. User can change the color.
The LED is not soldered on out of the box, since it is a long light-pipe design; however, it is quite easy to do so yourself.
Custom “Arcturus” QMK PCB; ARM STM32 chip, ESD & overcurrent protection, and the HERA-C daughterboard.
Two adhesive-backed silicone rubber feet, custom-cut
5.5° typing angle
SALES
Available exclusively on Keylace Co.
Starts at $400 before add-ons and shipping. Minimum 50, unlimited order quantity. Ignore what I said about 200 as a tentative limit (I gathered some help to package and distribute since then). Additional plates are available for $40: brass, aluminum (anodized black), carbon fiber; POM available for $30.
TIMELINE
This group-buy is running from December 8th, 2019, from 10:00:00 AM PST to January 7th, 2020, closing at 10:00:00 PM PST. This is the deadline to withdraw your orders and receive a full refund. Within 24 hours, the money gathered will be submitted to Cormorant and we will enter the Production phase. This is expected to last until the end of March, and possibly go into April (this is due to the possibly high volume & the Lunar New Year’s holiday). Distribution will commence after the products arrive from the factory and are confirmed to be excellent quality. It is expected to take no longer than 21 days to fulfill all orders. Arrival on your doorstep is expected Summer 2020; either late May or early June, barring delays.
