q&a
q: why no iso
support?
a: we are based in conus and are planning on
running the board through one vendor. as such, we are
anticipating the majority of purchasers to be conus based,
and thus ansi users. if the ic form reflects something
different, this is prone to change.
q: why are there so
few units?
a: this is our first public buy, and we are
committed to making sure it goes smoothly. with only 50
units, we are hoping that we will be able to deliver quickly
and ensure the quality of each individual unit.
q: why
is there no hotswap pcb option?
a: we find that hotswap
pcbs have more points of failure than their solder
counterparts, and therefore do not care to offer them for
any of our projects. layout support, though less relevant
for this specific pcb, is a concern for future projects as
well.
q: why is there only one mounting type?
a:
the board isnt designed with any alternative mounts in mind.
we didnt want to throw in o-ring or something similar just
for the sake of it. we are satisfied with the way the typing
feel turned out with this top mount implementation.
q:
where will updates be posted?
a: major production
milestones will be posted to the gb geekhack thread. if you
are looking for more frequent/in depth updates, please
join our discord linked below.
q: plate files?
a:
yes! plate files will be released before fulfillment and
will be available publicly.
q: i see a lot of scratches
and smudges on the weight. is this the quality we should
expect from the group buy?
a: absolutely not. we were
not content with the quality of the prototype and will be
ordering another from a different manufacturer soon. color
chips for planned colors will also be available with the
next proto.
