GB Details
GB Open Date: June 15
GB Close Date: September 3rd - The long GB window is so people can check out all the different configurations, and it be live while content creators get boards. I want informed buyers as there are many options.
Estimated Fulfillment: MOQ is 50, but it is unlimited due to the high price already being a natural barrier. My current fulfillment estimate in Jan/Feb of 2024. I will give a more exact timeline once we know final quantities and I can get an estimate from Dadesin.
North America and South America: saevus (http://www.saevus.org)
Rest of world: Prestige Keys (http://www.prestigekeys.com.au)
Other info: You must purchase case, PCB, and plate separately.

Quick update

• All parts are being anodized
• PCBs are produced and in the middle of being QC'd now. 170mm JST cables are being produced instead of using the stock 150mm cables. This should provide a much better build/plug-in experience.

Stay tuned to my discord for additional updates on this and other projects.
