Update: 03/09
Update: The designs for the PCB has been migrated to professional company that has been designing PCBs for 25+ years. It has come to my understanding that exercising business, without a legal contract and clear timelines, can be tricky. Permission to run this group buy/preorder has been approved twice. Once upon the inital 20-50 unit run and again when I realized that I needed to move the project to a full production order to fulfill the overwhelming interest and responses from the community. Honestly, after recent events, I was debating whether to cancel the group buy or not. However, I did not want to disappoint the community and break my promise to get these PCBs to you. I am limiting the quantity of the units being made to 200 to ensure fulfillment to my supporters. A second round is uncertain and will not happen unless I get another approval. Thank you guys for your support.

  • Responses to Questions/Comments submitted:*
    C: Wish that it included support for in-switch LED.
    R: Sorry, but I would like to keep the costs low as possible for this run.
    C: Anodized aluminum plates please.
    R: I want us to hit the best MOQ prices. Offering too many option may reduce MOQ breaks.
    C: Would prefer if it wasn’t green and, shedding as much outer perimeter pcb that isn’t needed.
    R: I would like to keep the pcb shape as close to the original as possible. For color, if it doesn’t affect the cost and majority wants a specific color we can look into it.
    C: Would it be possible to add iso left shift and maybe a type of iso enter. Could be a numpad enter.
    R: I would prefer not to change the original design.
    C: Pls make hotswap.
    R: More parts, more monies. DIY hotswap solutions are available.
    C: Make it as bare bones as possible to keep costs down.
    R: Yup, that is the plan.
    C: If you could make an alps compatible version… omg.
    R: Yes, I spoke to Maarten and he has agreed to add ALPs support to the pcb.
    C: Would it be possible to just get the pcb?
    R: Absolutely. You are not obligated to bundle the pcb and plate.
