This is great.  I have a Series I macropad and thinking I might pick this one when this is available.

Thank you !  the Series I was a very very limited run.

Is there any chance that this will be VIA compatible? And will there be any sort of bundle if we pick up 1 in every color ;)?

Yes it will be VIA compatible
As promised, here are pictures of the assembled macropads :
More pictures and details to follow

Hello to all, Sorry for the late update !
I am ok, thank you for your patience
We are currently in the process of designing an entirely new website/store and it does take a little time.
This will be a complete overhaul of the existing site ( http://macropad.co ). The GB will be on the new website.
More details to come

Thanks

Eric

Was excited about this GB but probably not going to join with the lack of communication. It's the day before and we don't even have basic info like pricing.

Regardless of IC or not, there should be a 'target price'. If the final price is more, then whatever, but best to not keep people guessing imho

As for communication, there has been little traction, but yall need to be a bit patient to be honest... :P when gb is live it'll be announced

Well, I think it's still okay to be a little iffy about giving someone your money when there is this little information coming. In the end, a GB is always about trust and the self-regulation of the community. I am struggling a little, because I really like the design, but I am not sure I have enough trust to give my money away and then possibly hear nothing about the status for many months...

Blank Grey DSA Keycaps will be included with the keyboard.
If there is enough demand for the colorful keycaps, we may add the option on the future.
