Very nice, though I've never used a half gasket keyboard. What are the advantage of such a style?
What’s half gasket? You mean half plate with gasket mount?

Erm yes that’s exactly what I meant, I typed that in a rush my mistake

Gotcha. Well. Gasket mount provides you with a softer bottom out and more consistent sound. Half plate adds to the flexy / soft bottom out even further, and obviously changes the sound since the alphas are pcb mounted. That being said, I’ve never used a mini or gskt. So closest thing I’ve felt to this is a Unikorn. And it’s the best (Mx) typing experience I’ve had.

Thank you for the answer! Why is it a better experience vs a PCB mount with no plate? Wouldn't the plate make for a very uneven typing experience between alphas and nums/mods? Is that part of the appeal? I'm really tempted to join, but it's hard to know if this is for me when every similar board had been ultra exclusive. Oh well, since this is apparently 35 units FCFS, I'm probably gonna miss out anyways because I won't be able to fill out the form fast enough with my slow ass 40 wpm haha. Props to zekk for this great looking board!
experience is an interesting thing -- we can only describe it with other experiences, which are, by their very nature, different from person to person.
personally, the variation between the alphas and mods on a half plate is a non-issue -- most of the time i'm on alphas, and i'm sure you are as well. if you're concerned about that, go with a full plate as that will maintain a similar level of rigidity across the entire plate.
as far as exclusivity goes, it is not my intention to create a hype machine and drive up aftermarket prices due to scarcity, i'm just one guy in a relatively small NYC apartment trying to share my designs with a limited number of people so that i don't end up in the same situation as some folks who will remain unnamed.
please do not let FCFS discourage you -- i can guarantee everyone will be tripped up enough to make it a much more even race
