Noice.
I love Lavender as well - I'm in for one of the PastelGoth Panda666-variants of the Reviung & cannot wait to see the color in-person, being my first Lav build. And as I already have a 67Lite from R2, I VERY MUCH appreciate the case-only option!

But the most tantalizing part for me, for sure is that Bred Plate... Good god, that thing looks gorgeous. So just for clarification, am I remembering correctly that any plates compatible with this 67Lite V3, would also be drop-in compatible with the R2 variants
This has me so excited, and I reeeally hope this does well enough that other manu's start offering colored/themes switchplates for other popular boards.

I wish you much luck with this GB!

thank you for the kind words! The case only option was a very last minute thing that I added on request from someone, glad people like it!

You’re correct on the plates. The bredworks plates work for ALL KBD67 Lites from R1 to R3. They also work with the KBD67 V3 case.

Hey! I have a question about GB dates. On KBDFans website it says that GB is Jan 5th, 2022 to Feb 5th, 2022 but here it says Jan 5th, 2022 to Feb 15th, 2022. Which one is correct? Will join anyway, just want to know how much time I have.

Seems like there was a miscommunication, will try to make sure it runs to Feb 15 as originally planned!

Did you get permission to run this from the gmk lavender creator? He owns the color for keyboards and keyboards accessories

I'm afraid the odds of Dotnick owning this single color as a trademark in the United States (at least) for keyboards and keyboard accessories is slim to none. I doubt Dotnick could show secondary meaning under U.S. trademark law, which is absolutely required for single-color marks. Trademark law is not first to use, it is first to use in a way that creates secondary meaning (aka distinctiveness, aka the mark is functioning as an indicator of source, rather than being perceived as an aesthetic feature in the relevant market). Single color marks cannot be inherently distinctive.
