I love that the plate has 2 cool S symbols on it.

Is the back weight an infinity? It also looks a bit like a bikini top

Well now I can't unsee that.  But the weight is very much a work in progress.  I really wanted to provide an update on the overall design changes since the initial post

very nice, the accent plate makes the board stand out. The bottom weight looks a little out of place to me, I'd like to see it more like the "infinity" symbols on the plate. Dunno, maybe a rectangular weight with engraving.

The bottom weight is definitely changing.  I have a few ideas in mind that I'm going to mock up in fusion before I push out a more "final" model for a prototype to be manufactured.

That’s really the only thing that needs to change on this board

And your solution is 100% what he should do

What are the odds that the pcb will be hotswap? If it is, this might be a must-have for me... I hope the amount sold won't be too limited... Please be a groupbuy!

I really love this layout, but it definitely will be an adjustment losing the F-row, but that comes with this format of keyboards. I really like how the Esc is separated from the rest of the board, as well as the arrow and additional keys being separated too.

I really like the esc key position. Not sure if I personally like all the dark colors offered but I will be following this one.

Probably in if ESC will be placed in a normal position.
I also would suggest the logo a bit on the left (in the space between the 60% module and the right keys), above the arrows

I don't have a particular opinion on the logo, but given a lot of people are asking for the esc to be in a traditional spot, I feel the need to comment: please keep it as it is, I really like it's placement now :)

I think this keyboard is awesome. Glad you shrank the emblem and added a key. If you end up doing hotswap, I am definitely in.

Great looking board.  Any change of a hot-swappable PCB?
