If you can't even sort out some screws, you're not fit to handle any GB period. Please sort out the issues with your existing customer. Your existing customer still waiting for screws, gasket and feet. If you can't provide them, be transparent about it and let them know they are on their own. Not to mention pcb issues that customer have to deal with mechlovin directly when you should be person walking it through and providing the necessary customer support. Aside from all the drama, people should have confidence at supporting your GB. I wish to see how you will fulfill duality tkl. Hopefully it is handled better and best of luck with this GB. Board is nice but have zero confidence to purchase.

also i just want the return of those og icon split backspaces, like seen in retro cyrillic. They are so beautiful i desperately need one

Haven't built one, but a couple of thoughts come to mind:

1. The LCD version of this (and maybe the solenoid/piezo?) seems to require destructive disassembly.  It's the owner's board, but M122's are desirable to buckling spring fans, and it would be a shame to gut a working one.  There are other ways to get or make a Cherry MX battleship.

2. The PCB could benefit from some relief cuts.  This is a lot of tension, and while using the thin 1mm as the designer says should help, a lot of the writeup seems to focus on managing that tension during soldering and assembly.

3. This is a LOT of hotswap soldering on pads to do by hand.  I would not enjoy the work, personally.  I think the whole thing would benefit from a reflow setup maybe?

4. Now all that said, this is really intriguing and I love the idea of solenoid keyboards.

There is no base standard when it comes to kitting, but the one I posted below is generally what the average kitting will look like (except for 1.5 function, that isn't common in base at least)

It really depends on the person, but generally a good set will accommodate all of this at the bare minimum (there are some exceptions, I have seen people remove 6.25u bottom row for smaller runs with sp for example)

For extension kits, you generally see stuff like mx hhkb support, r3 and r4 pg dn and up, shinethrough caps that sorta thing. But again that varies among designer, If I ever run a keyset mx hhkb support will probably be in base.

Thanks.  My issue is always finding wider keys from sculpted profiles outside their normal rows. Even as blanks, that's not easy, though it certainly looks like I might have some options with R3 1.75u and R2 1.5u.  I am noodling around with one more hand-wire project before I start exploring PCB design. I haven't quite figured out what it'll be, but accommodating sculpted keycaps is something I'd like to include.
