Also saw the prototypes of CU75 and CU24 at the meetup.
I can't give a definite conclusion on the typing since none were built fully (there was a CU75 with caps on but no PCB, didn't feel complete of course).
The outer appearance of the cases obviously draw inspiration from various other boards -- is it different enough? Not sure; maybe with the nylon bases it becomes a bit more unique. The engravings on the back were a refreshing design, but was a bit confusing as parts didn't line up where they should logically so felt unbalanced (you'll see when he posts pictures).
The boards were in a bad state; I was told because the factory rushed them before CNY. I'm sure that won't be a concern with the group buy, but wasn't a great first impression. Threads were messed up too so a case wasn't closed (think the excuse was so it was easier to open up, but doesn't make sense). Not what you'd expect when something is advertised as "100% Luxury".
Overall I think the designs have potential, but they need to be executed considerably better than what was presented.
I appreciate you taking the time to provide feedback about the products you viewed yesterday, however your post is misleading and provides false information to the community.

The keyboards were not in a bad state at all, and the threads are perfect. The cases of the CU75 and CU24 were open at the time you viewed the models because earlier another individual was curious about how the plate mounted to the top of the case and the LEDs on the PCB, and the keyboards were left like this to show others who might have similar questions throughout the rest of the day.

The feedback I had received from the rest of the people who had viewed the models, was overwhelmingly positive, and informed me that the machining (especially on the logo) was very nice. Whilst there was no PCB in one of the CU75 models, everyone else still found it a pleasure to type on.
It is not my intention to come across as rude, however your review contains false information about the keyboard and does not align with the rest of the feedback received. If there were major issues with the models that needed to be addressed, then I appreciate any criticism, but this is simply not the case.
I will be posting images soon; I am sure others will on reddit/Instagram as well, and the rest of the community can see the products are well made and of good quality.
The community was very supportive and positive yesterday, and both models also received an honorary mention at the end from the meetup organisers, for which I appreciate.
