• Clear Bottoms & 12+ color choices for the top piece
• Seamless shroud design. Change the whole color of the keyboard with 6 screws.
• QMK+VIA PCB with USB-C. Solder or Hotswap
• FR4 and POM plate options
• Tons of layout options, ANSI, ISO, WKL, HHKB (true and tsangan), split space, split backspace, split right shift
• Excellent RGB diffusion in the translucent colors.
• 3D printed right here in Calgary, Alberta, Canada

Timeline:
Solder PCB units ship sooner, as those are in stock. Hotswap units are a short GB that I plan to fulfill in 4-8 weeks.

3D Printed cases are so neat, I'll consider this.

not sure if you've posted this elsewhere, but do you have an image of what layout(s) the hotswap pcb would support?

I can't find pictures of the plates anywhere...?

[forsee]

Would the plates support the arrow key layout with the dz60?

No, sorry.

Nothing much to report, but I figure I'll give an update here and there, as radio silence seems to be very common among GB runners these days - and nobody likes that. Slowly trickling some orders out. Hotswap PCBs are ordered, the factory told me 4-5 weeks to get those in hand. Printers are running 24/7 to get these fulfilled in the sequence they came in!

I am also building another large printer to further increase my printing capacity, so I should be all caught up on case prints by the time the hotswaps get in.

Here is a typing test as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2IPulIF9BIM

Fab has sent us pictures of the pre-production PCBs. We are expecting these in the first week of June.

Will this PCB be available in the future for purchase separately?

Probably. And most likely a hotswap 75% to go with the PLA75 ;)

Just ordered mine!!! Super excited to be able to swap out the top!

Hotswap PCBs are here. I'm going to start shipping those out this weekend. Thanks for everyone's patience! This pre-order has been going smoothly so far, just a tad behind schedule... but I'd say that's not bad for COVID + microchip shortage.

Nothing to announce, printer go brrr, orders trickle out.
