what is the benefit of using a steel plate... is it a sound thing? i thought we were past that

We chose to utilize a stainless steel plate because it contributes to a unique sound profile and also provides a more solid and satisfying typing experience.

Love this aesthetically - I've always wanted a Carrara marble keyboard. Is there a target price or too early to know at this stage?

Thanks a lot for your kind words! We're still working towards providing an accurate price, although we can say for sure it will be within the $300 USD range.
