This is probably the only 100% full size wkl keyboard available, am I right?

Probably there's the dyno gb, but that thing is so big that it's painful to watch at.

We're really going with the F13 WKL? Alright then :/
One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven, Eight, Nine, Ten, Eleven, Twelve, Thirteen, Fourteen, Fifteen, Sixteen, Seventeen, Eighteen, Nineteen, Twenty... Yeah that seems about right.

Nothing is confirmed yet, Arslock/VD is still working on deciding layouts and color choices as far as we know.

Couple updates! We're going to launch the group buy in January on Friday the 13th. Alexotos is going to do a build stream the same day.

We're really going with the F13 WKL? Alright then :/

For tops, we'll pick the top two vote getters, definitely looking like there will be a winkey option!

We haven't had a lot of success with anodizing, so we're going to stick with cerakote only for this GB.

Hot swap pcb will be an option!

More info coming soon.

Alexotos will be streaming a fossil build on January 13 @ 7pm EST!

Here's a few pics of the black cerakote/herbivore weight:

Check the GB thread for updates. This keyboard isn't in interest check anymore so this thread won't get much traction from the runner/vendors.
