I'm not sold on the weight design myself, but I have a friend who would probably love it, especially if the case was in pink/purple.

I'm guessing 10deg will be too steep for many.

What's it weigh? Looks like it would be hefty with brass.

Around 4lbs with aluminum weight, it will be a little more with brass plate and brass weight

I dig it. I'd really like a pink case. Maybe blue.

Beautiful! Depending on the price, I’d be in for one!

Though, as I mentioned to you before the Stabilizer holes on the plate need to be changed. :(

This is only the case and plate, you need to buy pcb and switches to complete the keyboard

This is a kit to build a MX keyboard, it is not compatible with the PFU HHKB.

This looks beautiful. 8° sounds good, though 10° would’ve been so interesting due to the aesthetics.

The plate should be adjusted though, I sent you a pm about it.  :thumb:

I must agree, I liked the plate showing too, how is the plate mounted?

Overall, the design and weight is so unique, I love it. And the costs are very fair too.

Edit: $209 MOQ @ 100? Let’s make it happen!
