voati:
Damn nice rips, go figure you collab with Gothcaps, the biggest snake in the edgy artisan community. Actual trash lord who stole from his mods, banned all his collectors, and had his server wiped 3 times to hide all the evidence.

streamline:
I have always paid all my artists. I understand reading is a bit tricky at times for some. So I would like to call out that it says finalizing art. This is because I am working with two artists simultaneously on custom art to fill the space. Thank you for the interest lil dudes! :thumb:

Keeaboo:
Hopefully this is allowed, but I feel like it would be irresponsible for me not to include all the reason I personally wouldn't support this designer and why I would recommend other don't either.

1. Stolen Art from Helheim Designs

Most of the information about this can be found here: https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/1aydj36/comment/krwwl8m/?context=3 but the general context is that Angel from Helheim Designs came out with receipts that Streamline had promised not to sell a one off piece with Angel's art on it but ended up doing so. All the DMs between them and between Angel and the person who received the one off board are included in an imgur album on the post. The post also includes examples of Etsy SVGs that were used for the Duality and different protos / commissions after people had reasonably assumed all the art was commissioned in some way and not standard clip art. There is also a channel encouraging AI Art on the server. It seems fair to say it feels like to me that he does not respect artists and has never publicly responded with any supporting information on his end besides a missing context Discord announcement for his own supporters.

2. Mechs and Co Mike

Despite considering himself a savior of the community for calling out Mechs and Co at the beginning of their downfall (paraphrased as the exact quote is more "after all i've done for the community), he both encouraged and allowed the doxxing of Mechs and Co Mike's job and other information. The screenshot of his info is still on the Saevus Lab's discord I believe. His discord in general seems to be a cesspool that encourages inappropriate political discussions and users posting negative things about other members of the community. There is currently still a post at time of post calling Elaine a b****.

3. Zouabi (Fares)

During the issues with Helheim, artisan maker Fares entered the Saevus Labs discord to discuss the situation. The end result was members of the Discord threatening and going through with reporting his artisan designs to the copyright department of Studio Ghibli and other places in hopes of getting the artisan maker in trouble for copyright infringement / fair use.

4. QC / Protos and Commissions

Saevus currently has many many projects in the works (6+) and the last thing delivered came with the wrong hardware. In response, he had stated that DDS packed the wrong screws. I feel like making sure your board has the right hardware to complete the build is a simple part of qc that just wasn't done. In addition, I know that atleast one of the pcbs included with a ~$2,000 commission sale came with one of those $5 PCBWay test pcbs.

5. Clackbait

Streamline brigaded youtuber Clackbait's discord to rage at both him and another designer over the fact that Clackbait dared to do a build stream for a keyboard that Streamline believed looked too similar to his own design.

6. Giveaway

A member of the community won a giveaway board that Streamline was going to provide for XinXinWong's stream and did not receive it for months after frequent inquiry. They were presented with an option of receiving a completely different keyboard after 1 year of requests and accepted. The board they received from Streamline was dented with no pcb and missing screws.

7. General Attitude

Streamline's general attitude towards disagreement and the community has been generally offputting. There are logs of him talking about people hating on him because he is wealthy and that without him people would be going back to consuming boards with ****ty unoriginal designs.  There is a reason that bigger content creators in the community have taken down their Saevus Labs content on Twitch / Youtube.

I'm posting only to hopefully provide some information so people can make informed decisions for themselves. I'm certainly not unbiased in this matter but hopefully I've adequately listed the reasons of how my opinion was led here.

Michi4793:
as much as his designs are cool, I don't feel like supporting his projects

Avoh:
65% with a top right blocker and a copper weight... seems kinda unimaginative to me.
