I have skimmed through this thread but I was not able to find a price.  I have joined the drop for an Ergodox but depending on price I think I might want to wait for this one.  But, that depends on what it is going to cost.  It looks like a great board, I am hoping it is not to expensive......

Thanks!

If you look at the first post, towards the end it says...


[2016-02-06] Price and Taxes
Former mentioned price range (which is 400~450) was not includes tax.
When I ran GB in Korea, it was considered as personal hobby thing.
And domestic wire-transfer doesn't bring any attraction of Taxation bureau.
But when I'm doing this with you -overseas- guys, that will ring the alarm.
I confirmed this from friends who is in overseas trading business.
So, I'm crunching numbers with my partner. (Man I didn't realize it's that complicated.)
Korean tax starts from 10% of VAT and there's additional income tax. plus PP fee.
When I calculated, that makes the price starts from 456USD minimum, God(Tax-an God) only knows how much higher it could be. the income tax can be up to 38%!!! I had no idea about it.
I'll try to keep it as low as I can. but here's where I'm standing now.

If I use ALPS to MX stem adapters, how should I best specific my ALPS custom plate in the order? I'm planning on using DSA MX caps and can deal with the excess height. And any suggestions on which stabilizers to use?

Alps adapters will make original alps stabilizers not usable.
You have to search for another option I think.

Yes, that's true. I got "MX to MX adapters" as well. Basically, I can use them on MX stabilizers and add the height to match the ALPS to MX adapters. So is it possible to use ALPS switches and MX stabilizers of the PCB? And does it use Cherry or Costar in the VE.A?

I think it's possible, but I didn't draw alps switch + mx stabilizers mounting plate.
VE.A uses Cherry stabilizers

It will, I have absolutely no doubt.  The price is definitely a barrier though, and without the left spacebar fix/option I think I'll have to sit this one out and hope for a V2 + R2.  Just hope that I don't regret it...   :-X

OMG Hoff is talking to me.  /swoon

Zefyr mentioned swapping the left spacebar and left Fn keys - or at least making it optional - for us left-hand spacers.  The Fn key in the default layout is exactly where I hit the spacebar on a typical ANSI 125 layout.  That change doesn't appear to have made it to the Massdrop version of the group buy.

You made me check where I hit my spacebar. I think I end up just barely left of where the fn key is. If not then I have a bit of a learning curve ahead of me.

Interesting. I'm a left hand spacer as well (though I'm right handed), and this is the first time I've noticed this, really critical fact.

Will either have to adjust ergonomically, or consider for the R2 as you say.

I guess there's also the option of mapping that fn to space, though that's not ideal.
