Yes. I've been saving some switches and a keyset for a custom 40% with lighting available underneath. This is great!

[krumbprone]

Looks fantastic. I'd be very interested in building one.

[lishi]

Definitely in for 1!

[romevi]

Neat.

I like it.  Any option for Aluminum in this or a different buy?

Interesting... the group buy price that I was quoted was a lot more than that...

[Happylomo]

Wow, this looks like fun!

Hi, I'm sorry if I offended your idea and creation. I'm really didn't mean to do that on purpose.
So I assume you are the group buy leader of golbat 40% keyboard on EC forum right?

My purpose of the IC thread is helping a chinese friend (桃花) to make this group buy happen in geekhack if possible.
The heartbeat 40% is a prototype made as a gift for his wife, hence the final product for group buy will have some slightly changes I believe.

As for the source of PCB, I haven't get any confirmation from him yet.

I will try ask my friend if he's planning to do aluminum option or not for this round.

We don't care about whom he made his keyboard for,but we just know he is re-selling our PCB on taobao with another name which he changed arbitrarily.

I don't know why your friend can change its name without authorization?
We sell your friend this pcb just for personal use,not for GB.
I think you must ask him can he get the pcb for your IC first.

Okay, I will ask him again for the PCB source.
I sincerely apologize for this without your authorization before opening the interest check.
