A bit late but thank you everyone who bought a board. Some vendors will purchase a few extras so you will have another chance if you couldn't decide.
And for anyone interested, the split between Cheese And Moon was around 2 to 1 in favor of cheese.

Wasn't really around at the time, hoping Candykeys got a couple of extras cause I really regret missing this one!

I'll release pcb dimensions after the eu shipment ships. I can't promise any compatibility besides the pcb I designed. It has blockers to (in theory) remove hollow sounds.

The EU shippment is happening and as promised I've releathe PCB and Plate dimensions on my discord (sorry, don't know where else to host them as I can't upload them here).
Link to my discord is: https://discord.gg/WdrNFnTbBD (https://discord.gg/WdrNFnTbBD)
The files are under #swiss-news in the pins. If in the future you need them and my discord is no more for some reason, message me on discord (Username: bregoli)

Once again, thanks for all of your support and I hope you enjoy the board.
