Please run this GB after September!

It will run as soon as prototypes are confirmed functional, so likely very soon.

Gotta save em $$$

the prototype looks great man, would the E-White also cost extra?

Here's the other brass finish that will be offered: Matte black PVD.
It turned out to be a nice dark grey finish.

Red unit is a very early proto that was scrapped. Color may vary from production units.

Fantastic, though I will say the pvd is the obvious choice for yellow.

I will be receiving the prototypes to display at Maker Faire Tokyo on 8/3 along with samples of the SimpleJA keyset.
The prototypes will be examined prior to presentation, so by the time of the event, GB should be ready to begin.

rockydbull · « **Reply #466 on:** Thu, 25 July 2019, 08:53:35 »

Whats the durability of the E-yellow and E-white finishes? More or less than anodization?

Electrophoresis is more durable than anodization (in both mechanical and chemical aspects).

Ok nice. So it would be an aesthetic and durability boost.

What is the color of FR4 plate? I assumed its black but better ask since I decided that I'll be going for full-plate FR4.

Very likely black.

Also, prototypes have been shipped out. Once they arrive, I will test and finalize options for GB.

Hoping the e-yellow will be offered as I don’t see it in the official page. Also will the pcb support stepped caps lock key if you get a non-hotswap board? ETA: found it. Yes it does.

From Polaris webpage

Don't know about PCB but ai03 open-sources a lot of his work. You can follow his repos here

Not sure as to the exact time I'll share the files, but they will guaranteedly go up before things start shipping out.
