*praying for navy* btw any news on pricing? The post seems to show that the FE pricing is finalized but it implies the SE is not. Will it stay at 445 or are there hopes for a lower price/ price bracket?
We're hoping for this price, but until every single cost is realized, we can't say for certain. Quite a lot goes into making a keyboard that most people aren't aware of. Beyond the obvious, which is the manufacturing of the board and pcb, there are also misc costs like hardware, packaging, etc. Extras also have to be ordered to make sure we can fill every order with A-stock product. Then there's payment processing fees, freight, taxes, etc.
That's not to say we pulled these prices out of thin air either. They are based on proposed costs and expectations from every part of the supply chain. We just need to finalize the last of those details and lock in prices. The biggest part (manufacturing) has already been worked out, just the small stuff is left.
We're also keeping a close eye on the proposed tariffs as well.
