Update 4-20-18
Checked in with the manu on a hunch to ask about gold immersion finish, got confirmation back this morning that we’ll be able to do gold immersion finish on both the colors of PCBs for no additional costs!
Update 4-5-18
Quotes received on the PCBs. Both Matte Black and Purple will be available for $30 at 50 MOQ each.

Update 3-3-18
A new IC form is available for deciding on PCB color. The manu got back to me after Chinese New Year and confirmed that as long as we get over 50 orders we’ll be able to select a custom soldermask color for the PCB.
Info is in the form but I’ll post it here for ease. This is a simple IC for a budget 96key PCB offering, as well as the potential for a budget case option. The boards run on ps2avrgb firmware and use BootMapperClient for programming. They come with RGB underglow LEDs and diodes persoldered, as well as resistors for backlighting LEDs. The layouts support ISO, split backspace, 1800 numpad, and several bottom row options that I’ll make up a diagram for soon. Additionally, the mounting points on the PCB appear to let it fit in a variety of cases, but this is not confirmed currently.
Sample pics:


My sample is red, but the PCBs will be black with silver.
For the case, this will most likely be an acrylic sandwich style case from a community maker, and will likely resemble the below sample:

PCB pricing is currently estimated at $35-$40 based on bulk shipment cost to me, case pricing is loosely estimated at $60 since I don’t have numbers on that.
Lemme know what you think.
