In my opinion, slightly more recessed caps, so that a few millimetres of their base is in the body of the keyboard,  would be even better.

Totally agree.  I would put the base of the keycaps about 1.5mm below the surface of the blue border section.... maybe even more.  Can you give us a photo of just straight on?  Like what you would see if you were seated in front of the board and typing on it?  Also, are there plans for any kind of badge in the top right?  I feel like it needs something.

I concur with these sentiments!

Here is the side view. The bottom of the keycaps is aligned with the edge.

I'm planning to order some stickers.

This is a universal 60% case. There won't be a split spacebar pcb but it's possible to have a split space plate option. Which layout do you want? The DZ60 spacebar layout?

I guess not everyone wants to choose the og dasher colorway and put SA dasher/dancer caps on it. There will be multiple color options.

Absolutely... 96 or 1800 layout would be fantastic.

I didn't even think about the 1800 layout.  You're right, that would be awesome too.

Yes DZ60 would be nice. For me, I only need a 2.25,1.25,2.75 split space, then I'm happy. :)

This is just a case. You can use most 60% PCBs you can find.

I agree. It definitely looks better with the sicker imo, but I think the final product should have a badge instead.

That's also what I was thinking of. The problem is the color limitation of the aluminum/brass badge. The sticker can have multiple colors but the badge can only have one. I printed some stickers with different colors to match the colors of cases and they look good. I don't know how the single color badge will look like. I'll do a render and see.
