Base Kit is a 150% keyboard designed to put all of those extra unused keys to use. Designed by Taylor at Aeternus.

Base Kit is a 2 piece aluminum design with an exposed sandwich mounted plate. The case is available in black anodized aluminum, and the plate provided will be carbon fiber (most other plate materials are far too flexible for the mounting system and, as such, are not recommended).

- Plate: 1.5mm carbon fiber
- PCB: Soldered, USB-C, ESD protection, QMK and VIA/VIAL compatibility
- Mounting: Sandwich mount (exposed plate edge)

The issue there would be then you limit it to one manu since different places use different row designations.

I wish I had enough Razer Greens for this. I might have to combine them with Gateron Blues and some BOX Navies.

From what I've seen/read, I don't think you're going to find any update. GB runner hasn't been on Geekhack in over a year at this point, and it seems they have no intention of fulfilling this GB.

Yeah the update is that Taylor pulled an exit scam and will not be fulfilling any GB order. I successfully got a chargeback earlier this year for a different GB and left the Discord shortly after.

It really is sad that all these things have been happening lately. Hope there won't be many more of these exit scams...
GB-model really has it's bad sites, when vendors don't fulfill the orders.

Absolutely a shame that such a cool meme project got exit scammed, feel bad for everyone who put money into this because this project seemed fine to start with, with protos and units being sent out. Be careful out there everyone.
