is a sample of colors possible before the GB starts?
I'd love to see a color sample of the crimson red on aluminum. The color swatch looks kinda meh.
Really tempted to try and snag one of those..! Is there an special advantage to a partial plate? Or does it just give a different feeling / typing experience?
I thought I read something about cerakote as a finish option, did you toss this idea or do I mix something up?
Will any other PCB work on this board? Have extra PCBs so wanna see if the 3 plates I'm getting will need 3 PCBs from here as well.

Does this support RGB switches?
Stupid question but are the stabilizers required for this 4x2u and 1x7u PCB mounted?
hey Xondat, as the designer of this keyboard(s)- which layout,color,plate options would you choose? They are all great choices but I'm always interested in what the designer's personal pick would be.

saw nothing about a paypal fee in the description, so would it be correct to assume there isn't one?

It's preference -- I'd give it a try though.

It's preference -- I'd give it a try though.To add to this, it gives (ime) some added springy feedback to the keypresses -- a bit more tactile feedback and you can feel keypresses made on one side of the board with your hand on the other side of the board. For tactile switches I think this enhances the feedback of each keypress and makes the whole thing feel more lively. For linears it makes bottoming out far less harsh without being mushy, it retains the crisp feeling of linears, however each press is less isolated and "pure". With light linears (62g or less) and a poly or partial poly plate on linears bottoming out feels almost like not bottoming out on something with heavy tactility like Clears or buckling spring.The sound is also much higher pitched, especially with ABS caps.

I really like the deep bassy sounds of vint blacks though I'm not really sure what kind of plate would contribute to that kind of sound. Would brass give it a deeper sound or is that higher pitched as well? At any rate, I'll probably pick up a few extra plates and pcbs granted it's an option.

That board / those pics have been a personal favourite of mine for a long while.. we have good taste The proto’s turned out spectacularly, the reduced height at the front was a genius idea. My mannn, 65 for the poly partial :’( (I know you had issues pricing these or even getting enough interest, but I’m glad they’re an option!)
Looking banging sir Love my x60 and looks like you went to the next level with this
can you buy 220 without buying 280?
Also just so it's noted/clarified:If demand for 220 exceeds slots available, I will make the normal one 220 (& make it unlimited/limited to 100), and there will be a few 220 S available.For now, the only difference is numbering, but the weight may change on 220 S to separate it.Also thanks for all the interest, means a lot
Can anyone comment on what 5mm brass and 5mm polycarbonate feels like?
Another dumb question. Do the PCBs have diodes/controller etc already?
