Here is the checklist for you: CheckList
Hey everyone,
Primus is a 75% size customized keyboard kit. From the appearance, it has a perfectly symmetrical design. It adopts a mature standard primary key design and is available in WK or WKL in the top case. The bottom case partially covered by top case and weight, we still have many mixes and match colorways to meet your needs. The tail-like shape weight is one of my most satisfying design points. With the basic simple lines here and curved lines there, it adds more elegance to the overall design. In the internal structure, the sandwich isolating plate + fully customized gasket design is used.
we have prepared this kit for 1 year and today we present to you the big and final update for Primus.

    The short FAQ here:
    Why I cannot buy extra weight?
    The packaging box is customized for 1 kit, it is very hard for us to do the packaging work if there are 2 weights.
    Why I cannot do 2 boxes, one for main kit and one for extras?
    international shipping is very expensive, I am trying to make super secure packaging box as smaller as I can, to save customer shipping fee.
