Are there more details on how much the upgrade to pvd and dark brass going to cost? Also, why does a color change and option to swap to copper cost $100?

Looks good. Is the effective front height (not the lip but the spacebar row of keys) on the tall side? Would a wrist rest be necessary?

The shape of the board is a little off to me but I can see the appeal for something like this, good luck!

Been following this board for a while, congratulations on the IC launch!!! :thumb:

I do think that if someone wants to get sandblasted brass in jade, they should not be paying $100 extra just for colour. However, dropping jade+brass and only offering Jade+Copper config as the special variant would make more sense for the incremental cost.

We will finalize the upgrade cost based on how the demand is upon IC. At this stage its around $50 upgrade. Jade isnt just a color swap, you are looking at 10-15% of the total number of units being limited in color gives extra cost and not to mention the option to choose any plate material and a Copper weight.

Thank you for the kind words. Most of the RAR users didn't actually require a wrist rest although we have designed one for the RAR and have also designed one for the JEM which we shall be launching soon.

This needs a red color, bright lipstick red. The Jade doesn’t quite hit the spot

Please consider providing step caps lock support on the hotswap pcb.
Very excited about this project, checking all the boxes!

Why add gasket tabs to the side, Wouldnt that just make the board stiffer?, Love the cherry lip though its pretty dank, GLWIC :thumb:

Hi, Thank you for the kind words. I think the steep caps lock was brought up on our meeting and have considered this with our hotswap PCBs. Let me confirm this for you

Hi, Thank you for taking the time and noticing our JEM. We've been happy with our tests and so far as per builds and comments from others, there was no significant stiffness on the board :)

I'd be interested in seeing the dark PVD brass weight and the stainless steel one too. I'm not a fan of the standard brass weight, but the copper one does look very good.

Thank you for taking time on this. The dark PVD Brass weight is exactly the same finish as the GHS.RAR Scarlet's Dark PVD Weight
