For some reason I didn't get notifications for these replies!
What are the dimensions for the board? Standard 65% (40x17cm) or slightly bigger? Only ask, as will be getting a sleeve for this.
Slightly smaller, full dimensions are here:

Yes, the only colour is black.
I see what you mean now, this is weird. so it's hot-swap and then they say "The full variety of layouts can be seen below. All of these layouts will be on a single PCB.", but the layout diagram shows options where some switches are just 0.125u apart from each other. how's that possible?

There is only one PCB. This is possible because some sockets are opposing each other which will mean the some switches will face north and some will face south.
I think that this is good becuase people can try ANSI and ISO without needed two PCBs. Users can also try out stepped caps lock, split backspace and 7u spacebar to find out what they prefer.
Am I correct in assuming it will ship from the UK/EU and not from some factory in China?
Our manufacturers are based in China but all of the boards will be shipping from the UK.
Cool, definitely going to order this as soon as I get two questions answered: What stabilizers are included with each option and what kind of hot-swap socket is used?
Kailh Sockets and we are only offering GMK Screw-In Stabilisers.

It looks like the only option is black (photos of the board are of the prototype in black), but what is actually offered is not stated in the GB page.
I am waiting on at least better photos of the internal chassis, bottom of the board and PCB before committing.
I would also like to know the plate thickness, where the board is manufactured and whether the two month lead time is realistic?
Correct, the only colour is black.
More photos and sound tests will be posted next week, sorry for the delay.
The plate is 1.5mm thick.
The board is manufactured in China and I think that the 2 month lead time is possible.
