I'm pretty new to the keyboard world and so is still unfamiliar with lots of things. For keyboard GBs like this, does it come as a kit and we need to build it ourselves? I really like this but worried I'll destroy it if I have to build it myself

For keyboard GBs like this, does it come as a kit and we need to build it ourselves? I really like this but worried I'll destroy it if I have to build it myselfUsually these offer the ability to buy an extra PCB and/or plate, which I ALWAYS recommend.On top of that, there are other kits you can get which will be much cheaper which allow you to practice soldering. I'd highly recommend a through-hole board to get the most experience. https://keycapsss.com/diy-kits/104/plaid-pad-4x4-numpad?c=17A numpad is always a good start.
What does the Chinese on the back of those keyboards mean?

Plate mounted stabs right? Or is there something supporting the pcb so we can use screw ins?
Will the pcb and plate support pcb-mounted/screw-in stabs?

seconded the idea! Is it still possible to integrate the stab holes on the pcb and make the plate slightly more open? C3 stabs look very promising!
I'm a big fan of PCB mount as well. Plate mount is just so stab limiting.
(3/1/20) Going to start the group buy next weekend 3/7/20; all the final details will be on that post. I'll also try to have all the files put up on Github next weekend.50 Hi-Pro for the first round and going to get quotes to see how many I will do for the Low-pro

For the High Profile keyboard, is there only one color option?
No grey for Hipro?
Are the 5 colors glossy or matte? Also, can I get a different top and bottom color, like in the renders? Thanks
BTW, what’s the prod time look like? Standard 2-3 months minimum?
Quote from: fooddoof on Tue, 03 March 2020, 07:25:46BTW, what’s the prod time look like? Standard 2-3 months minimum?Here are the estimates I was given from the quotes for the parts shipped to me:PCB: 80-96 days Case: 35 daysI wish these were a lot less but the Corona Virus ramping up right after the Chinese new year break really slowed a lot of manufacturing down.
So is the only option for the PCB to solder the hotswap sockets on or will you be able to use it as a regular solderable pcb?
One more thing, can we get multiple tops or bottoms for the case? I was thinking of getting one black bottom and then one black and one white top. Thanks again

What would be the est. time until the second GB for the low profile case? Looking at your pics, that seems like the way to go for me
Are there any recent images of the low profile?
Any info for launch time tomorrow?
Will future rounds potentially include a solderable pcb?
