Would it be possible to do a group buy without Massdrop?
Yes. Definitely possible.But whoever ends up running the GB will have to comb through the countless electronics factories in China to find one that can produce the board for a price low enough that enough people will join to meet MOQ. MD is our best bet at this point

MD is our best bet at this point We just need to group buy a Chinese factory... HmmmmmMassdrop is busy trying to push their Infinity keyboard which may qualify as being one of the ugliest keyboards I've ever seen.Bummer

Through a business perspective, that metal plate that serves as the feet (in some layouts) is really genius for saving money and resources. But still, I didn't buy it and most likely won't unless its PCB only.
OMFG my dreams have come true tell me when i can buy this
is this till going to happen?I'm holding my breath and might pass out soon.
I'm working with a manufacturer about a TKL.They already produce keyboards so it would be more a modification off a current model. They're supposed to be testing the hotswapping right now.

They're supposed to be testing the hotswapping right now.is the TKL version going to be a low-profile keyboard? I'm not a fan of low-profile cases, but really interested in hot swap PCB idea.
It will also have the FN key on the front side?
A TKL would certainly be interesting but what about the cost? I would expect it to go up as well.
Will there be a cnc aluminum case on the tkl?
Where do I buy this?
This is such a cool idea in my mind that I really do hope they find a way to bring it back. I don't have the spare cash to afford it now but soon.
Really sad, couldn't care less for a tkl really. The smart68 was something new and innovative.Also, hot swap LEDs can be accomplished with SIP sockets, the switches use a special contact in the pcb that they can clip in to.
The keycap is the only thing that concern me. How hard it's to get he keycaps set that fits this keyboard?
I might have to do this along with DeeLong. Massdrop says they don't have the confidence to do the group buy yet since it's a new product. They might consider in the future if a GB on GH goes well.
This is one of the most beautiful boards I've seen. If I had the money, I'd be all over this when it becomes available. But I do have reservations about the function bar. I have large hands and I find it a bit awkward to put my thumbs on the side of my keyboard case and reach my fingers beyond the home row. Still, it's a really nice board.
