hello, geekhack! it's been a while since my latest update with regarding this project.
let's start off with the pcb. ive decided to send an order to PCBWay (http://"http://pcbway.com/") and the prototypes are finally on its way to me. eta is either wednesday or thursday. PCBWay was kind enough to sponsor some of the costs for the prototype and i will be sharing a review of the prototypes pcbs from them in another thread to be linked here soon.
now, i was forced to design an alice case since i dont have one. i only have experience with stacked acrylic cases so i decided to make my own design from yuktsi's files. to test the compatibility with other cases, i already struck a deal with someone planning on making their own alice case. for now, the plan is to have a clear case (gotta flex that black pcb) and brass plate made to test the pcb. here's a quick render:

Hey how'd the prototype PCB turn out?
the case is already in production. acrylic pieces coming in a few days and the brass plates coming in next week. i also got a 4.5mm acrylic plate made while the brass plates havent arrived yet.
unlike the pcb, the case files wont be publicly available.
that's all the updates i have for now related to the cordillera. beyond cordillera, i have some ideas but im involved in a lot of projects right now. i probably wont be back with a new keyboard project until 2021.
stay tuned for the next update!
