If I'm not mistaken, the plates don't allow for switch top removal. Why's that?

They do not support switch top removal. I kept it as-is to simplify the modification of the plate for different layouts during the design process and to get it moving into manufacturing sooner. Manually replacing each switch hole takes time.

Is there an extra pink top? Or full cyan? Willing to trade silver top for pink top or take full cyan. Thanks!

Damn, I'd have done it for you. Takes about 2 minutes in librecad.

The images aren't huge, but the anodizing looks pretty nice. Excited to see some new pics soon

27 · « **Reply #418 on:** Tue, 17 January 2017, 22:25:48 »

Cyan is closer to this IRL with undertones and highlights due to being a metallic surface

27 · « **Reply #419 on:** Tue, 17 January 2017, 22:27:09 »

Also the gold is different than the prototype, it's more gold than the yellow-orange of the prototype.

Left is old colour

WOW that was my one complaint about gold, it was orangey indeed ~ this gold is so much more on point :thumb:

in love with the cyan ;D

Photoelectric · « **Reply #421 on:** Tue, 17 January 2017, 22:59:56 »

That's a pretty neat pink color--actually looks copper on those photos. I've wanted to see a copper-toned keyboard for a long time.

boo · « **Reply #422 on:** Tue, 17 January 2017, 23:08:13 »

big regret I didn't get the pink top.

Still looking for a pink top if anyone want to trade

Hi 27,

A while back, in a PM, you said that you'd be releasing files when you got confirmation that the cases were on the way. Will you be releasing them soon?

This is amazing, 27, I have never seen anyone completely open source their custom before!

Any chance the keyboard you're bringing to Toronto is the original orange-gold? I actually kind of prefer that one to the new gold, haha.

Going for a black and "gold" aesthetic so the underlighting is a pass for me.

Planned on doing anodized aluminum but, after talking to 27, might end up going with brass to match the weight.

If you're doing brass you should look into a GB. I know I would be interested. Might bring the price down a bit too
