The one in e-white is very attractive. I will definitely join the GB for this when it drops!

The logo kinda grows on me to be honest, I like it better now. Some questions tho:

1. Will there be extra hotswap pcb with standard layout? (2u bspace, 6.25u spacebar etc)

2. Any anodized option, specifically Teal / Turquoise / Tiffany Blue color? I know you will have e-teal but wonder if it's available anodized

Yeah, I want to know about this, too. Standard layout hotswap would be preferred.

Would definitely be in for a blue alu top+bottom and a PC middle. Curious if there's a render for that?

Also would like to hear more about the PCB; RGB underglow would be a huge plus for PC middle/bottom layers. Hotswap is probably nice too.

I'm still super interested in learning more about the newer stuff I've never seen before in keyboards; G10 case and Pattern Welded steel weight, are you having protos made for these so we can sort of estimate what they would look like/sound/feel if they were to happen?

The factory told me that G10 is too difficult to work with with their machines. I insisted to order a prototype. Let's see how would it turns out.
I also ordered a pattern-welded steel weight. The patterns on the sample material are not very good. The supplier can offer more options only if we have a bulk purchase. The prototyping is more for verifying this option. I don't think many people will choose this weight but I really want to offer it at least once.

I need that G10 case!!

What anode colors are you looking to provide? I'm super excited but think i provide the more metallic look of anode over e-coat.
Yellow(gold), Red, Blue, Grey in that order is prefered for me :D
PS. Rose gold would guarantee a purchase for my GF.

ALPS plate has been canceled due to limited demand. Your reply is the first one I've seen about this option. The PCB still supports ALPS but I won't provide ALPS plate options in the GB. I'll make ALPS plates for myself tho. If you wanna join, I can help you with the ALPS plate. PM me.

I didn't consider that. What's so good about FR4? I used FR4 plates before with a tray mount case. I wasn't terribly impressed when I use them.

Oh your comment is quick.
No shiny badges will be provided but you can always hand polish the badge to a mirror finish if you want. Just remember to paint with a clear coat to avoid oxidation.

What kind of blue is it? Is it teal or dark blue?

And please won’t you make the hotswap PCB has standard layout (6.25u space) as it’s more common for keycaps?

Damn, those prototypes look clean. The pink and black version caught my eye. I wonder how well would it go with GMK 8008 (the pink in the keycaps is probably a lot brighter, though). Also, is the PCB going to feature underglow? This might tip me in favour of the polycarb board (which looks pretty sick, too).

Agreed. The 7u spacebar on the hotswap PCB is kind of a dealbreaker for me.
