Keeping in mind that this is a very expensive keyboard I just rather would not go with massdrop, too. I really question the choice fo massdrop here. When "Domestic and international orders will be shipped by the vendor"  I'd rather have direct contact to the seller if he is going to be the one doing the final shipping anyways.

I'm still probably not going to join, even tough this is my dream layout, simply because customs and shipping would kill it for me. I'd maybe be willing to pay $240 for it, but having over $30 shipping added we are at around $275, seeing that I like the dark grey keycaps even $300 (I could go without the switches though, I would slap in Zealios anyways, but that's not an option). And on top of the around $300 we have customs (yes, for prices this high they even add shipping to the final price), so with customs I could be lucky and "only" have to pay 19% extra ($357 total), or they decide to add another 5% on top of that ($372 or $375 total, depending on the way they calculate that). This is quite a lot for a student that only had 10 days to decide on wether or not it is worth it.

Ouch, they really **** you on customs! I didn't realize that it was that bad. Also, yea, I'm surprised that it is only running for 10 days.

It's looking bleak on MD guys. I'm still hoping I can pick this up via another avenue.

plsplspls run this independently

it will probably be cheaper too. I really hope this does end up running, I bought some zeals from the last gb for this board, and I've been hyped for the layout.

Well, the MD buy is inactive. Isn't that sooner than the deadline, or am I not remembering clearly? Perhaps the numbers were small enough that they just canceled it early...? It's so sad. :(

No, it ended at the appropriate time. But yea, it is sad.

Exactly! Now I just need to decide on which color(s) I want.

I went with silver, I think it's the easiest to match with everything. I was tempted to go Cyan though because I love turquoise/cyan and it'd go great with my 1976. Oh well  :p

Cyan would go great with hyperfuse and Jukebix too. I'm still thinking about it, but I'll probably just go with black.
