Hira70
The inspiration behind this project sparked during my
time in Punjab, Hira in Punjabi is the translation for a
Diamond or a Gem.
The weight is designed to remind the
user of a diamond on the back of their keyboard.
Hira70
is a FRL TKL board featuring gasket mounting, great
aesthetics and great typing experience

Pricing
: 430$ at 100MoQ
I managed to lower the price
significantly at a low MoQ of 100 units.
From the very
beginning of the IC, i wanted the price to be around
400$.
With all the design changes, new weight that
requires alot of machining time. I feel like the price is
resonable.

full release of GB Dates/ Select Vendors)

IC Form FAQ:
More international vendors?
Yes, there will be depending on the interest check
Why is there no longer the shiny diamond weight?
This decision was made due to quality control,
incredible cost and manufacturing time.
Will plate files be released?
Yes, after the GB
No sound test?
My setup isnt the best for sound test, i will sending
it to xinxinwong, for a build stream and typing test.
