Not bad
definitely beats the recent Ics and more
40% bakeneko 275
Kikkou 245 bakeneko
Ladybird 60 415 at 300u
Cringe 395 at 300u 2 piece btw
Just one of the better if not the best ICs I've seen in a while
xyz daughterboard yes
weight yes
50 units in stock for 280 (wish there was more this would sell as hotcakes and would also help out the local food bank more)
I'm against shilling/friends praising geekhack threads so much but, I do think this IC does deserve lots of praise, it really knocks the ball out of the park. Hopefully, clout won't get to your head and you can keep doing projects like this.
Great job op  :thumb:

Just finished unboxing, flashing, and testing strimmer PCBs. Two changes were made from the previous version:
- Changed switch leg holes from 1.75mm to 1.70mm to accommodate more switches
- Added ISO support

These are identical to production PCBs with the exception of WKL support
Some more small changes implemented.

I happy someone trying to do something differnt with a good target price of $280 in-stock buy. This looks like a plateless mount using a o-ring around each of the 4 pcb tabs for flex as such this is not a true o-ring mount just because the design use a o-ring does not make it a o-ring mount (i.e. a burger mount use small o-rings around the screw but cannot be called o-ring either). Please change the title of your ic for currently calling this a o-ring mount does a disservice to keyboard community and other great designs that are true o-ring mount which suspend the pcb all the way around providing the the flex GLWIC.

This comment is so factually and spiritually incorrect that I don't even have the soul power to correct you properly. A board with an o ring is o ring mount, simple as, nuffin much more to it. Back in my day, if a keyboard even smelled a whiff of rubber we called it gasket mount and we were happy. You used to get what your're given. Please take this negativity elsewhere!!! You have been warned

Still undecided on sales format. With the ways things have been going in this hobby recently, I really doubt there will be enough interest for it to make much of a difference anyways.
