Great board!- is there an eta on when will the gb start? (Or gb will start as soon as you decide which manufacturer to go for)- is the quantity capped at a certain figure and raffle will be implemented when the sale exceeds the figure? (I remember the MOQ is 80?)- will the stab be plate mount only or we can choose for ourselves?Thanks for your time and effort!
will zfrontier be a proxy for this gb?

That will push the start date back some. So now aiming for end of April or early May. Sorry I can't be more specific right now. - the MOQ is not 80. I was simply stating how many kits were need for me to recoupe my prototyping expenses. Which is actually irrelevant and probably shouldn't have been said. MOQ is 40. Quantity is not capped. However many orders there are after a 2 week period is how many will be ordered. - stabs are PCB mount only.

I’m sorry I didn’t catch the update coz I usually just go through the first post to see your update, may I know what kind of small change will that be?
Just in case anyone hasn't seen already: Quakemz built the prototype on Top Clack last week! It looks great!

Just a quick update while I'm here. Still waiting on that revised sample. I'll post some pictures of it once I have it on hand. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk
Watching the vid, I only just noticed the PCB has 'north' facing orientation for the switches. I know its close to GB time but is that 100% set (or is the other way impossible due to space constraints)? I've found that GMK R3 caps fouls on the switch housing for everything except BOX switches, so would really prefer to avoid that.
Small update. The revised top part of case is shipping tomorrow. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk
Is there any price estimate by chance? Really interested in this board!

Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalkoh, that's nice, since it's a 2-piece kit, bottom can be reused. saved time prototyping!btw, will there be a POLYCARB version? leaning on a mixed alu + poly top/bottom combo
I watched the prime e prototype build stream. It feels like its very difficult to plug in the switches, will this problem be fixed?
That beige colorway is lowkey heat

revised sample is in. Much better on those bezels. Top picture is new sample. Bottom is hold. Show ImageShow Image

My body is ready. At this point, any keyboard smaller than a 60% that goes into group buy is instantly accounted for in my budgetSent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk
I’m so hyped. This will be my first build. Let’s gooooo!

Damn I love it but I find it so expensive, I know it's the layout but more than 300 for a 45%...
I know $300 keeps getting tossed around, but I don't see a price estimate in the OP (it's marked off in the to-do list, however).Also, maybe a noob 40% question, but would it be possible to get a keycap sizing list for the modifiers?

Extra PCBs will be $40. There will be an option for either all white indicator LEDs or an RGB mix. The LEDs will not come pre-soldered. Here's a pic that shows keycap sizing:Show Image
Was hoping for little cheaper pricing. I'll have to pass. Really awesome keeb either way
Pricing sounds quite reasonable to me considering how much time and money you put into prototyping and also it being made stateside. I’ll be in for one and +1 PCB. Will the indicator leds be surface mount?

I’ll be in for one and +1 PCB. Will the indicator leds be surface mount?The US based manufacturer got very busy and hasn't completed their sample yet. I just can't wait any longer and it doesn't look like they will have time to complete the production run in a timely manner. So I'm going with the Korean manufacturer that did the samples I'm been showing pictures of. They have made many high quality keyboards for various GBs and I trust their work. The indicator LEDs are reverse surface mount. Just a fancy way of saying they're surface mount and the LED protrudes into a cutout in the PCB.
