Looks great, very excited for the price reveal and the full plate options :thumb:

I don't know if this can be answered yet, but what level of anodizing can we expect?
Also, is the plate top mount or sandwiched? Looking at the renders it seems to be the latter

It's too bad we won't have some bolder colors on a board that is taking things in a very experimental route. With the sleek design classic colors like this won't fail to impress though. Very interested, but will have to see what the price is looking like before I can commit. Gotta save up that M60-A still.

Since the SMD LEDs can't be moved, will you just be picking one bottom row layout?

I love the design!  I'm very interested in buying this if my wallet allows.

Does the PCB support PCB-mounted stabilizers (specifically the Zeal stabs), or just plate-mounted?

top mount ;)

The bottom row should fit a WKL and WK the SMD LED would be bright enough to shine through

Yes there will be a full plate but no backspace i afraid.

Thanks for the update with pricing.  Could you let us know what the weight of the different combinations are?  Or even min/max of the options?

So if there are dip switches does this mean the PCB won't be fully compatible with, say, QMK?

Edit: Whoops, didn't read the thread closely enough. Pay no mind.

Thank you for your support!

I posted some questions on reddit but they haven't been answered, and since I want to get in early I'll ask them here before the GB starts:

Will you be offering an offset caps lock option? What safeguards are in place to prevent destroying the board if it's plugged in while there's batteries in it/while it's switched on? What kind of stabilizers will it support? Can the battery cover be flipped to expose the "structural" shapes on the back while mounted? (The switch for power is my concern here, if it's not centered then the panel can't be flipped)

As a final note, I think a black PCB is a good choice, since nobody else spoke up on that.
