We are proud to present the Hubble65 by Mechs & Co. This board was inspired by the Hubble Space Telescope and the revolutionary engineering genius that was achieved by mankind in its design and function. We want the Hubble65 to pay homage to the Hubble Telescope. Consisting of a high quality two piece aluminum body with a drop in brass weight, we wanted to offer an isolation mounted 65% keyboard built with some of the finest materials we could acquire. Manufacturing will be done by Salvun combined with a Wilba PCB offering both solder and hotswap options.

"Hubble65 info:
Cases are in queue for anodization. Every other part is at our warehouse ready to ship.
Salvun did not get an ETA to us regarding the Hubble either unfortunately"

Salvation still hasn't shipped and is on the last batch or so of Anodization. 2500+ boards is quite the bottleneck for anodization. Oh Dang we are at a year now.

You, uh, may want to do some more reading surrounding recent drama over M&C.

Yes, I was well aware of the Mechs and Co situation when I posted.

I did happen to check Salvun's discord and saw that he seems to have the cases but the anodization is still not fully paid for.  Of course, he has no components, so who knows if there are plates/feet/gaskets/PCBs even made yet.  He won't say publicly what the full situation is.  It seems he's trying to figure out how to proceed and waiting, like all of us.
