Sale Info
DISCLAIMER: ALL INFORMATION IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
Fulfilment
This will be fulfilled in a group buy.
Due to the amount of options regarding the parts of the aluminium case, ordering a flat number of each colour for each piece and packaging it would be a logistical nightmare.

That being said, the cases are already currently being machined, and the orders will be submitted to the factory for coating after the machining is completed. This way, the lead time is significantly reduced, with the customer only needing to wait for the surface treatment to be completed.

Pricing
400SGD~ for e-coated colours at MOQ of 30 sets total, regardless of colour, pricing will be adjusted accordingly to demand.

60SGD - Extra PCB package, includes PCB, OLED, daughterboard, ribbon cable and JST cable

Colours
Due to current developments with the anode factory, there will not be anodised colours in favour of E-coated colours instead for the time being.

- Beige
- Dark Green
- Pink
- Blue
- Yellow
- Lilac
- Black

The enormous light-up badge on the right completely overshadows the OLED on the left.

to me the bottom looks weird or unpleasant. it really bugs me when I see this  1.25U 1U 1.25U 6.25U 1U 1U 1.25U. Would it be a option to make it 1.5U 1U 1.5U 7U 1U 1U? or at least offer the option for solder so ppl can choose what they want in for the bottom row?
I do like the customizability and the oled as well as the cheap price but making it hs only and forcing me to use that bottom row really makes me question if I really want that board.
Speakig of hs pcb. In my opinion its never a good idea to make it ISO and ANSI compatibel HS. I can already see the crooked pipe keys or west/east facing switches.
other than that I think that its a good board

I prefer a different design language, so I'm not interested in this one. Still, GLWIC!

Interesting keyboard. Design is unique not sure if I like it or not it is very techy. But what I like is layout, that left column adds so much functionality I mean you coud just make regulars 65 but regular 65 it is very compressed this is much much nicer for person like me who likes exploded layouts. Oled screen... it's just cool. And customizability... wow stepped caps lock, split spacebar, iso and all that on hotswap pcb. The only thinkg missing here is split backspace. I'm especially happy with split spacebar this is so functional. I'll consider this kb for sure.
