A pessimist will tell you the cup is half empty. An optimist will tell you the cup is half full. An engineer will tell you it's exactly twice the size it needs to be.

IIRC it's expected to come in at under $1000, but I doubt it will be under $500.

Gok said he can't even manufacture them for less than $480

I would expect 600+ pretty easily

Nice board but what's the point in 2.25u shift instead of 2.75u? it creates a huge imbalance on the right side compared to the left

People have said this about a lot of boards lol. This board does indeed look quite special however.

I just wish the LEDs in this were better diffused, I don't know if that's the setting it's on or if the diffuse isn't very good. Right now it looks a bit tacky.

I believe they're supposed to look like the scanning headlight on KITT, which was segmented. I personally love this look because of it.

xavierlh is talking about the Mountain Ergo (https://kbdfans.com/collections/group-buy/products/ic-kbdfans-mountain-ergo-keyboard-kit) which is $420USD and not the Mountain Alice (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=111231.0) which is still in IC and doesn't have a confirmed price.
