I was also torn between black and gunmetal, but the gunmetal in the pic looks too light.  Is there an example of what this grey metal will look like?

I want to know this too.

Guys, I have an 87key LZ-S. If anyone would rather an 87 layout, I would be willing to trade my PCB+plate for a 86 set. My plate is royal blue, and already has switches (clears w/black springs, but remember the plate allows you to change without resoldering). Would like to trade for a pcb+plate and a bag of switches, but if anyone is interested, we can make a deal.

Boost, I'm really sorry, but could you switch me to an 84 key, please? (still metal grey)

Just realised I'm most likely to use it with a vintage cherry set, which should look fantastic

zinc is always my top choice but id have to swap PCBs for that to work and i feel that would devalue the keyboard in doing so.

Hey Boost,

can you possibly post a pic of the grey metal vs Black?

I was really on the fence about the color and only chose black based on how the grey looked in the mock up.  I really want grey, but not if it's going to be too light.

Thanks again for putting this together.

Hello there,

new to the whole keyboard thingy, this seems like a great keyboard, I feel like however it might not be for a beginner like my self. I'm afraid I don't even understand what I would need to make it work.

So what you guys think? Better leave this one (since only 50 are being made) for more experienced users? Or would this be a good beginner board?

Oh man, yea, get your feet wet with a pre-built keyboard first from Coolermaster or something. For this thing you need keycaps, switches, among other things, and have it built.

I hear you man, my only fear is this is kinda of a unique opportunity that I'll regret not being a part of :D.
But yeah you are probably right.. I'm just going to sit here and feel terrible when in 4 months people start posting awesome pics of their new keyboards!
