(https://i.imgur.com/ABscQQ8.jpg)

• Above is showing the O-rings on top and bottom of the plate as designed but you can build the board with multiple different mounting methods if you wish.
• If you want a squishier mount and are willing to redrill the plate mount holes to ~4mm, you can use drone controller soft mounts (silicone) and M3 set screws for alignment. (note this will drop the plate down a bit lower than normal)

Special Thanks:

OneCreativeMind for the original concept and name along with all of the feedback and support.
Nox for helping fund the prototypes
Quakemz for helping with the first build stream and being an all around awesome person to talk with.
NinjaPirate for the unbelievably amazing pictures of my prototype.
TaehaTypes for the second build stream of my prototype.




FAQ:

Is a PCB included? I will not be including a PCB with the board. It has been confirmed to work with the AN-C (v1 and v2), Plain60, h60, DZ60, and WT60-D. Basically if it has a type-c connector it should work but I can't test every single option.

Can you release the files so I can 3D print it? No.

Will there be an aluminum version? At the moment there isn't plans for it but maybe later down the road.

Update:


Got the updated quote and was able to lower the pricing to $360 clear and $365 dyed!!! I know it is a small change but still saving you $10 you can now spend elsewhere in the build.

Update:


After some talking last night, I have decided to go ahead and add extra tops as an option for those that might want multiple layout options on the same board without needing to buy multiple full boards.

Cost will be $110 each. All 4 colors and 3 layouts will be available to purchase. Please note that color may differ slightly due to batch variance and the dye process so they may not be a 100% perfect match to your full board.

Update:


Currently at 50 sold, so still 30 more before MOQ but with more than half of the month still left we have a good chance of making it still!!

Thank you all for your orders so far, hopefully we can get this last bit in before the end of the month.

Quick little announcement but wanted to let all of y'all know that the Viktus Sinne will be made!!! Thank you all for the support the past 3 weeks but don't worry about the state of orders as the only thing that matters now is: Buy one while you can, and get you friends who are on the fence to buy one while they can as well.

Update:


Boards arrived yesterday and QC has begun. Will have another update in about 1.5-2 weeks, for more up to date information join the discord server or check the viktus site as I will update those more often.

Wanted to show a built teal Viktus Sinne as the original color was just a mockup due to the timing of its addition.
