We hope we can get the MSRP even lower with enough interest!

GLWIC though!

We can consider some sort of hub cover I guess? It'll still stick out though, since it's there.
Please share this in the IC form too, so if others share this opinion, we can make some changes.
The Hub can't be used wirelessly either - so there might be some other options.

Oh, I'm voting for HHKB layout in whatever forms (6u or any *u)

Given the target price - USB 3.0 is probably not in the cards for this particular board, but we'll definitely consider it for others.
I think HHKB 7U will be supported at least, unsure about 6U though.

Will you be targeting a higher battery life by using ZMK instead of QMK similar to the BakenekoGo? Is the hub only available in wired mode? Will this be a single color release like the Caerdroia by AKB or are other colors planned? In for one regardless as it's by James and has a USB hub in the best layout.

It will use ZMK and there's built-in room for batteries under the internal weights - we should have great battery life.
Hub is wired only. You can plug in the board with the wireless PCB, and both the keyboard and the hub will work. But if you're using the board wirelessly, the hub won't work.
We'll be doing multiple colors, but we're not sure what yet. Let us know what you'd like to see in the IC form!
MartinThePolarBear:
Yes! FINALLY a 60 from y'all! Also really love the Ano Silver Top & Grey Bottom Color combo for the case. Hopefully that's an option along with Grey Top too.
The PCB layout options for Hotswap Wired seem to satisfy every crowd which is nice to see.
Overall, I'd say y'all have the nicest 60% offering I've seen at this territory since the Tempo (though that was only HHKB and was a smidge more expensive). Definitely watching this one
