Hello everyone!
Prototype and gasket samples have arrived!
This is only a quick assembly I did before the gaskets arrived. With makeshift gaskets to mimic the thickness and function of the actual silicone gaskets the feel and sound was surprisingly tight already, even without a PCB.
The distance from keycaps to inner edges is something that definitely will be fixed and tightened up. I honestly expected it to look worse than it does now. The gap looked way bigger virtually.
Still I will make it fit tighter, by adjusting it a tiny bit, so the caps will be fit better in the case.
During this week, the prototypes of the PCB will be assembled by W3bb0, one of which will be shipped to me.
Hopefully sometime next week I'm able to set up a live stream and of course, videos of the final result for those who can't make the livestream.
Mind you I'm not too familiar or used to live streaming so don't expect the best of quality and entertainment

FAQ:
- Colors are not yet 100% decided, but I'm pretty sure we'll keep Pink and Lilac, as the samples looks really good.
- QTY, first round will most likely be limited to 150 units FCFS. This is simply to make sure the quality can be met to match the samples on all units.
- No confirmed GB date yet, but things are moving along smoothly now.
- Total weight is about 2kg, including the weight.
