You haven't thought about engraving the logo instead of a sticker? Apart from that, I think it looks really good!

Will there be an option to mix and match the accent color with the case color? A white case with the red accent on top would be cool.

Making a WK option available means that we will have to produce 2 different top cases, plates to accommodate the need of changes. For a low quantity project, it seems a bit out of place.

I like the simplicity of the front face when without the logo and branding; including an option for buyers to choose whether they want it on the board or not gives them a choice. Some like it, some don't. But once I engrave it on the board, people who don't like it will have to struggle. I wish I could give more flexibilities to our buyers so that they wouldn't have to get depressed over an engraving.

Will there be an option to mix and match the accent color with the case color? A white case with the red accent on top would be cool.

We are looking into this option. The upcoming interest check will also include relevant options so that you guys could help decide. Thank you for the interest!

You need to post another picture of the side profile. I can't make anything out from that picture except that it has an accent piece and some angles.

Generally I like the design of this - especially the top. However I feel like the side profile below the accent is overdesigned. I would prefer something much simpler below the accent piece. I also think there's too much going on with the weight. But this is all personal preference.

instead of stickers, why not have the top case laser engraved with an enamel infill?

we'd like to let our customers have an option to choose; by having the top case laser engraved, I fear some, if not a portion of customers would be depressed over an engraving that they find obstructive

we will include this option in the interest check, if majority agrees to include the engrave on the top case instead of a sticker, we would consider making the change.

thank you for your interest and support  :)

I'm assuming you're asking the middle piece
It's a middle brass weight that holds the plate and PCB tgt in between top and bottom case.

Looking at around 350, we will try to push it sub 350
currently we are still unknown of this because the blueprint has not locked down and finalized yet
there are still some changes need to be made here and there, which will affect the price eventually
