Are custom knobs included in the kit? Can we order extra knobs?
Yes the custom knobs are set to be included. But some will be at different price points.
We have Prototype Knobs on order right now! :D
We will evaluate the factory finish and quality and adjust for changes as needed.

What do you generally use to ship to places (DHL? etc).
USPS if the receiver is in the US, or if in the EU.
If it’s a bigger order/package, I’ll use DHL for international stuff.
He hand delivers every one.
As long as you come to him.
That’s kind of accurate. Lol

Would it be possible to get other colors without enamel inlay? I'd kinda like bazooka pink without the white lettering.
Maybe! The plan right now is to be getting Enamel Inlay done locally, so one less order to them could definitely be a thing. Things are still in the air on that front though so no promises ;)

I'm on the lookout for a macropad and having a dial is amazing. I am very much interested. Just trying to justify the price.
I’ll probably be doing a 3D Printed GB if we make it to MOQ on the CNC Milled Cases. The Protos Look Stellar. I could see a lot of people enjoying the SLS version too.

Was going to say, if the knobs can be compatible with Rama knobs (from satisfaction75) that would be super.
