I'm quite interested on this board, but just a small doubt that worries me: Why is there no GB post for this IC under "Group Buys and Preorders" subforum?
Because I didn't create it on the "Group Buys and Preorders" forum, all my previous GB are like that. I find that posting in multiple places will dilute the information.
I can understand that reason, but reading what
Group Buy Rules and Guidelines (Updated 2023-09-11) (
https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=115197.0) states, every IC must have its corresponding GB post in order to be reviewed and approved by GH's moderation team.
It's just my opinion, but don't you think that in order to avoid any kind of suspicion about possible frauds or exit scams (I am not saying that this GB will be that) and in terms of transparency and best practices, would't it be a good idea to publish a GB post under "Group Buys and Preorders" forum for this keyboard? Then you can also post there all the updates during manufacturing phase till the delivery to vendors...
As I said before, that's just my opinion and maybe I'm wrong and this IC is the normal way of doing things for a GB...but for sure that from my side I would be calmer and safer in joining this GB...
