In my several year absence from keyboard GBs, I've somewhat soured on soldering a PCB. However, your ongoing mission to increase adoption of the double 3u split space is more than enough justification to pick up the solder PCB. The only problem is all these older sets I won't be able to use on these boards, haha.
I long for the day when I find a beamspring. (At a not insane price)

I have no dog in the solder vs. hotswap argument but definitely throwing in a vote to bring back purple! Otherwise I'll have to wait for V3+ :(

What does it mean that solderable add on kits won’t be offered? Can I not purchase a spare solderable pcb?
Obviously ai03 would need to confirm, but I'm reading this as potentially meaning the only way you can get a solderable PCB is with the solder base kit. And that the assumption is then that only hotswap PCB's will be offered as an addon.

solder people ruin it again, 🙄default hotswap with optional solder extra was way better

just buy the hotswap addon and sell the solder boards to the heaps of solder NPCs that will bork theirs and their backups.

might be my bad here but I am pretty sure that
"Stock configuration: Case + choice of either hotswap PCB + hotswap plate kit or solderable PCB + universal plate kit" means that hs plebs can't read/dont read and that you can choose between a HS or solder PCB without getting forced to buy what you dont want.

I might be wrong but I am pretty sure you guys can't read and are starting to complain about solder because you dont have a basic skill like soldering in this hobby

I personally do, most of my boards are soldered, you're barking up the wrongest tree. I just don't get being butthurt about having options to the point of turning it into a competition. I'll probably not give the slightest of ****s and buy both kinds of pcb and be done with it.

My preferential take:

Back engraving -> cheesy kbdfans move

Forced split BS on HS -> pretentious rama move

Board otherwise -> gimme

The Vega is such a classy board with its seamless screwless design and simple yet classic aesthetics.

The Polaris is everything the Vega is, except for the engraving. It is really unfortunate as it cheapens the board.

He's said you don't need to have it so it's fixed now.

That was not the case when it was originally posted.

He's waiting until Vega finishes shipping, so as not to be in the middle of a new GB while the old one is completing much-delayed shipping.
yes, I'm the guy who put box jades on a Polaris

As much as the wait for this pains me, I know you can't rush high-quality! Take as much time as you need for this.

I want this so bad I cant sleep
I love lubing crap but expensive switches by hand, soldering them on my aluminum board with the risk of having cancer, and then stuff it with a lot of foam.
