This is an interest check for a split orthlinear keyboard inspired by the planck. It will have rgb underglow and the option to have i2c interconnect.
This thread is to voice your opinions on the direction the project should go. I am unsure about if I will try to do a GB or sell through a vendor.
PCB prototypes are out and will be coming soon. Should have the prototype in by next month.

sorry. I love renders
As of now the plan is 2 steel/aluminum plates with a frosted acrylic mid-piece.
hand wired prototype
Iv been going a little crazy on the pcb front. I have designed 2 pcb’s. One has all throughole components and would allow for all people to solder a bare pcb. The other option is a more traditional keyboard pcb that allows for a much cleaner look, but will be harder to have produced after a GB is over. Think gh60 vs ergodox and phantom
I have made a strawpole for pcb opinions. also the pcb has the same dimensions as the ghpad, so numpad support may be cool http://www.strawpoll.me/10379210
Also with recent events running a groupbuy as a new face may be pretty difficult so I want to see how people want me to release this! http://www.strawpoll.me/10379306
UPDATE 1: Its now a collab folks Dotdash has designed an awesome case to go with the double rainbow!


Dotdash case!
In other news we now have alps support!
UPDATE 2: just got the first prototypes in!
