The Matias one is pretty bad though, if you ask me. The layout is wonky and caps will be totally proprietary to that keyboard, making it difficult to do any real customization. And with the upcoming SP Alps cap GB...
The V60 is interesting, but it's $120 for a board I'd be swapping the switches on and doesn't have the same amount of customization as Gon's. Don't get me wrong, it is nice to have an option that isn't a Ducky, but it still needs some work to really be worth the $120 to me.
Also, there's already a nice Korean Alps TKL on the market right now, the Kingsaver. I know I'm partial toward 60% boards, so of course I'll be pushing for one, but I don't really see it as a niche that's full yet since the 60% options out there are pretty wanting and there's already an awesome TKL Alps board out there.
The only TKL or full board I'd really be interested in is a flipped one with a left hand side cluster.

I'd be interested in a PCB in one of the three formats:
* 60%
* TK (either Lightsaver style or CM QFTK style)
* TKL with full right-hand cluster (like the Phantom)
Even if I don't end up getting one of those three, I still want to say that this is a really cool project :thumb: GON is really amazing.

Exactly. I am glad that there is the option of the v60, but would rather build my own 60% (pure layout for me, thanks) with a nice custom plate and programmable pcb.
korrelate:
alps or alps+mx and black pcb = take my money!
if this os also compatible with your cases then take even more of it!
I've got complicated blues lying in wait for a board like this!
CommonCurt:
Would be down for a 60% plate+PCB if they will fit in after market cases.
Possibly a TKL if GON has other case options besides low profile.
