Happy to see a 75% board coming.

Can we expect similar pricing as the Zoom TKL for the essential kits?

Fantastic!
I would also know the expected price range. Would it be something similar to Zoom65 (which was amazingly reasonable for what it offered)?

No engraving, just put a switch there, so much cleaner.

When can we expect a sound test?

Side note: Can you try to compete with the QK65's sound. Their sound is blowing the competition away online. For everything else, you guys have them beat. Looks are competitive, 3-1-3 space bar, modular layouts. Well well done!

Can someone explain to me what the difference is between the different coating methods and what the advantages/disadvantages are? Nano coating sounds interesting but what is it exactly?

the typing angle would be 5°, and the front height is about ±21.6mm. We will know the weight after the protos came in!

I think he means (pcb) plate options like: FR4, PC, Aluminium etc. for the inside.
