- Hello!!! This is an Interest Check for a passion project I've been working on for some time now. It's an F-Rowless TKL, that features a tadpole-mounted design, with subtle curves and a large brass weight that coalesces itself into the main form, engraved with a Traditional Great Wave. -
Why the wave?
- The wave engraving was added after the side profile design was constructed, as it suited the design language of the curves and edges. I also wanted to include The Great Wave off Kanagawa as I believe It's a timeless artwork that has solidified itself in history as a traditional and core piece of Japanese Culture. -

If you'd like to keep up to date with any changes made to the design, feel free to join my Discord!https://discord.gg/7GWqErQWnh

Special Thanks: - CAZ, for putting up with my unending bombardment of questions on design and manu procedures  - - SUGAR, for convincing me to get a start on my design again, and for anchoring every apex game ;) - - AVO, for the sheer amount of time spent explaining why some of my design processes were dumb as well as proofing my initial proto file (yw for the bean W's) - - JELS, for throwing me some last minute PCB's and assisting regarding PCB/Plate manu - - ANT, for the use of his warehouse, desoldering gun and random free stuff you always give me  - - RORY, for some of if not the best renders of a keyboard (enjoy the rum homie)  - - SwitchKeys Team, for being brutally honest about how trash my first design was - - GEON, for allowing designers to use his tadpoles and bumpons -

- Thankyou for taking the time to read through my IC, any and all feedback is appreciated - Rogers <3  -

Great colour choice!

DirtyGingy:
Seems interesting, but that sound test. Where is the sound? Is that just sort of what tadpole mount does across the board?
