[01/06/2020]- Colour Update (Replaced “Dark Navy” colour with “Blue Grey”)

[02/06/2020]- After receiving some feedback on my logo, I might be changing the logo that will be engraved into the bottom of the keyboard (You can vote the logo that looks better to you in the IC Form).

  • Added a closeup render of the Aquamarine colour. After I receive my prototype, I will be ordering some colour samples (Anodised & bead-blasted Aluminium), to provide you guys accurate pictures of the colours.
  • My manufacturer has updated me saying that the prototype is estimated to be shipped on the 10th of June.

[11/06/2020]- The prototype case is finished and has been shipped (It’ll take around a week to arrive). PCB is still in production so it’s estimated to arrive in 2 weeks time.
