Looks and sounds neat! Could I ask for some updated renders colors or color codes on the boards? Ofc, render to pics/video can always be different, but just want to get a more accurate look at all these vibrant colors!

Updated prototypes in all colorways will arrive before the end of the month so there will be updated photos of all the colors!

Great price and awesome colors, really looking forward to the GB! Is the board shown in all the typing tests the Gentian color or Ice color?

Great work! Would love to see a Porsche flavored silver color, but the current options are fantastic.

"Matrix 2.0 and the OTD 360..."

My first thought was this looks like a toned down Matrix board. dat wedge. Looks good to me.

This has everything I look in a board tbh. F12 TKL WKL with right aligned USB port (using a DB) at an insane price point with so many cool colors. The hardest part is definitely choosing the color lol ;D. There's nothing to complain about. Extremely excited for this!  :thumb:

Love the project, knowing that Simon will review the board is a BIG plus for me, I just need now better pictures of the rubystone colorway to decide between rubystone and ice, I would appreciate if you added them at some point before the GB going live.

GLWIC, will be buying.

The board is very nice, and I think I would buy it when the group buy comes. That being said, OP do you have experience running any group buys like this? New vendor and unlimited unit count scare me a little.

They ran the Ahgase TKL with a 100 unit cap, and that GB was fulfilled as far as I know. There was also a GB for a 60% called the Ji-Eun that ended 7 months ago, but I haven't been following that project to know the current status of it.

I do! Like mentioned above, Ahgase was completely fulfilled and delivered. This time there will be many vendors helping with fulfillment so there should be no issues!
