Actually, I need to expand further.
For future releases (X65, X75, etc), they will be in rounds of 25 and each design will max out at either 50 or 100. I want to do rounds to break everything up a bit, but also it gives flexibility to what I run. For example, I could do X65 R1 December, then X75 R1 January, then X65 R2 February etc. It works for everyone. This also allows me to fulfill rounds/orders much quicker, as the parts will already be machined, so I'd start the GB and within a week they should be ready to ship to me as they'd only need anodizing.
I'll also be changing the colors I use, this is all very much in the air right now, but it's looking like I'll be dropping Gold. Dark Gray and Silver are here to stay, Red most likely is too. I'm uncertain about the future of Black, Dark Blue and Purple. Most of this depends on how I like the color when I actually see it on a board (X60 production). I've also been thinking about introducing a custom, user-polled color for each round, so for example, X65 R1 might have a Sky Blue, and then X65 R2 might have Viper Green.
Regarding "Edition" boards, the future of those is uncertain. I personally like having numbered, and/or limited things, but I'm aware some people also get rather annoyed which ruins it for some people that actually enjoy it. It also might **** with the aftermarket price, but that isn't a massive concern. I really like the Carbon Edition, but I feel like it limits the users that chose that too much, so I'll have to rethink that.
For PCBs, now that I'm not using a universal platform (60%), I have to either outsource or learn how to do it myself. This is why X65 is coming a lot sooner, as I was going to be learning how to make my own, and then releasing it with my own custom PCB. X75 was always going to be sooner, as I would've used the winkeyless b.mini and then that would've delayed enough until I knew how to make my own for X65. Instead, I've been in talks with someone and they'll be supplying the PCBs for X65 so in the meantime I'll learn how to design PCBs.
And finally, just because it needed to be mentioned, there will be no group buys until I have fulfilled X60. However, there probably will be teases/interest checks up until then. Oh and if anyone read all of this, please leave some feedback/discussion points on your thoughts. Thanks!
