Is the 6U spacebar support for centered or off-center stem?
Also great anod shots

Got the answer: Only Off-centered
Thanks

It's already April! Oh how time flies. Hoping that this is still on track for shipping around the 15th of this month.   :D

I'm assuming this is shipping from China, so I wouldn't necessarily expect delivery this month.

Nah I just meant that I hope that production wraps up and they start shipping the units out by the 3rd week of this month. But since I'm located around SEA, delivery around April shouldn't sound so far-fetched...

Not sure what shipping method is used for China, but for all the others is DHL

Vincent said it was going to ship on 15th, but if you want a definitive answer, you can ask Vincent(through Aliexpress, as he is not very active on GH) or Jkaos, as he seems to be handling comunication for the GB.

He was collecting pics to show and this will surely happen before starting to ship. But no news yet, i guess the shipping of the first batch (100/100/100) is still planned for that date, so mid April. Also there is some sort of festival in China right now, i don't remember the name of it, so Vincent isn't at work right now. 

On a side note, i saw other pics of the sample unpolished tho, looks good but can't post rn, just wait :D

Oh man I saw this board once a few months ago and then couldn’t find it forever.  I was convinced I had just imagined it.  I only just today found out it was real and I missed the group buy by a long shot.  I would buy this in a heartbeat now if there was an R2 or extra stock

Guys the pictures will arrive, don't worry he didn't forgot.  He is waiting to have every part finalized before posting pictures.   

Right now they are engraving Brass and Acrylic  (the previous file had to be changed slightly because it was problematic to engrave)

Welp we've reached mid April, so assuming Vincent's not too far from on track (new ship out date) we should be seeing something soonish. But I think it's better to hope for good quality at a later date then bad quality at an earlier date...

For the first 100 might actually start this week, i guess "next week" is just a safer bet. Asking for pics now btw.

Haven't decided on LEDS, but I might do box blacks and because the board is cyan, it's getting gmk skeletor.

How are you going to mount the leds on the boxes? Inside?
Is it normal 3mm LEDs?

You can mount them under the switch and then put the switch on top!

Cyan top, blue bottom, orange plate; I'd like to use Box Royals, but I don't feel like waiting a month to build it, so instead I'm gonna use Speed Navies and then put Royals on my other hotswappable board.

Keycaps will be DSA Drifter or GMK Plum, not sure yet
