The right board is actually a raw, not yet anodized model [link] [other link] (it was his demonstration for ALPS compatibility) but the colors in the photo have been manipuated. You can tell from the wood background - clearly the same desk but different color temperatures/saturation.   ;)

Sorry you cannot order top casing alone even if you have already ordered a whole set.

If you are planning to buy extra bottom and top casing, why not buy another set as you will need another PCB anyway? :D

The top holes are for the Caps lock, Num lock, and Scroll lock LEDs. The ones above the arrow keys are up to your customization.  No LEDs will be included for them, it's up to you to solder it onto the PCB.

Does some have experience maybe from previous Korean group buys on what additional costs can I expect when ordering this to Europe or specifically Germany?

It will probably be around $59 USD to Germany.

Hi Elton, just submit my order for a set + 2 additional bottoms.  :thumb:
I wonder if the V2 pcb + plate V2 would fit the V1? And would the alps pcb + plate fit the kingsaver?
And how thick is the flat acrylic bottom?
Thanks!

Orion V2 PCB and plate will not fit into Orion V1 and vice versa.  Won't fit Kingsaver as well.

I'll get back to you on the thickness.

So what else do we need to finish the whole keyboard? This is what I had in mind. Please correct me if I missed anything!

Switches (I'm planning on using lubed and stickered ergo clears)
LEDs (for the Indication both next to ESC and above Arrows [what size will fit and will we need diodes/resistors for the LEDs as well?])
Keycaps (my plan TA)
Mini-USB Cable (pexon!)
Soldering Kit
Lots of love!

No need diodes or anything. You just need LEDs.  SMD LEDs are provided on the bottom of the PCB.

stabilizers as well, though i have no clue where to source them. perhaps elton can ask Duck if he'd include them alongside the kit (like with the Octagon buy) for an additional fee

That would be awesome. I've seen them on his webshop: http://www.kbd4u.co.kr/product/detail.html?product_no=19&cate_no=35&display_group=1

If that would be possible, I'd like to get a pair of winkey blockers too: http://www.kbd4u.co.kr/product/detail.html?product_no=20&cate_no=35&display_group=1

Although, I may change it to the angled acrylic bottom... Hmmmm!  Or the top to silver...the possibilities!

First Kustom, will be a fun project.  I love the design of the top with LED holes (might even leave the 5 blank not sure).

The plate and PCB, do they support only one format for the switches on bottom row?  1.25-1-1.25, or do they also support the 1.25-1.25-1.25 with 6.25 spacebar?

For those looking for stabilizers, you might want to check Sprit's GB for legit ballin stabs and springs: https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=55888.0
And congratz all on ordering a pretty baller keyboard.
