Why Gasket Mounted? It’s because I enjoy gasket mounted keyboards, While Top mount and Sandwich is also my to-go. But still, must admit that Gasket mount is the most popular and go-to choice for almost every new beginner or enthusiast.
To-do List right now
1. Add POM & FR4 Plates
2. Sent out to Proji (Mr. Keeblook) for a built stream + Find another content creator to build them on stream.
3. Waiting for Third Prototype to come in and showcase Navy Blue and Dark Purple colorway
4. Sending Prototype units for Built stream. Alexotos at the end of Oct Built Stream!
5. Hopefully run a group buy (During October)
