I've ordered myself some GMK PULSE keycaps from massdrop.
Wonder what color case will go with this :p
Also to go with WKL or standard layout...

Is the threading straight into the PC for screws, as in kbd8x MKII?

Bauer is a 20 unit run, Dixie is probably not making any significant revenue from it. Round 2 will hopefully be cheaper

Currently fighting Shopify, which is breaking under the 240 possible combinations

Dividing it into three listings (one for each top case style), should be complete soon

Are you going to use tactile switches or linear? That will decide which of those you would use. Tactile -> brass; linear -> half plate

I notice that on KBDfans site, the plate becomes a separate item in the cart.  Is it possible to order without the plate if we want to save money?  I will be putting my own custom plates in for my Boardwalk PCBs. 

Edit:  If anyone needs spare Polaris PCBs, hit me up.  I'm gonna have a whole bunch.

I asked the same thing.  If you cancel the plate order....You will get NO PLATE and will have an unbuildable Polaris lol  It all adds up in the cart to the correct Price of $265 Shipped with the standard colors

Its a bit hard to tell from the color legend.
