Excited for my first GB purchase. Grabbing solder and hotswap options with clear frosted acrylic bottom. After seeing MechMerlins build stream I couldn't resist!

How come the hotswap PCB is north-facing while the solder PCB is south-facing?

So the OP only mentioned QMK, but in MechMerlin's build stream it shows him using VIA to change lighting modes and such.  Does that mean the PCB supports both QMK/VIA?

they were developed separately time wise. There was a change of mind between the gap.
