This is insane, but also approved :eek:
A bit of a unique case where users need to register on Discord in order to even enter the raffle, but still - do remember to post updates here in order to adhere to the GB rules.

Shame you cant even pick a custom color for the case for $1500.
Nvr_Smile:
How are you going to state the following, but then only offer three color options? Can you call a custom engraving a "bespoke keyboard acquisition"?

Then you are charging $1500 USD for a basic two piece TKL with a hiney pcb? What separates this board from any other TKL that is a third of the price beyond the price tag and engraving? You can't argue it is the colors, as most GB's allow you to pick the color of your board. You could argue that it is the custom engraving, but does it really cost $1000 for custom engraving, or are you just trying to maximize your profits?
Furthermore, TGR still hasn't finished shipping the last batch of Janes, and we are quickly approaching the three year mark. Why are they running another GB when they still have note finished the last one? And how do you plan on alleviating this, will this be another three year group buy?
This entire board just screams "money grab". Please don't buy this.
Darth_munkee:
Ok I have some legitimate questions about this board. Mainly what makes this worth $1500 other than people are willing to pay that much for it? I feel like this is way past the point of diminishing returns but I could be missing something.
