Fixed ISO plates will be available and plate files will be open sourced during GB phase.

What's the melting point of this stuff? Wondering if it's possible to Cerakote (which can be baked at relatively low temperatures if needed).
Edit: is there any chance of that sweet oil spill finish on the weight in this one?
I've been told that POM (Acetal) can be cerakoted, but will test to make sure.
For PVD finish options, I will post a poll soon.

Will you release plates files after IC is over for folks who want to put a custom layout in the case?

How much does it weigh with and without the internal weight?Approximately 2lbs w/o weight and 2.5lbs w/ weight
And also, would the surface be smooth or is it a little frigid?The surface is soft to touch but feels rigid. Hope that makes sense.
Mind sharing how resistant is POM from scratch and dirt/discoloration?POM is very durable and scratch resistant.

Any chance it could be offered in a Beige color?
I would second a cream/beige option. I'm going to buy or attempt to buy one of these regardless but I would strongly prefer beige because it would be very different from other customs (more so than it is) and match the novelkeys creams
White would be the only option for this round. I have prototyped a black board and I did not like the result. To offer different colors would require injection molding, which costs significantly more to manufacture.

This has definitely caught my attention. Will there be an option for standard 60% layouts with arrows? I love the design as it is, but I unfortunately use a lot of arrows for work so I'm forever bound to them :(The DZ60RGB supports arrows in a 60% layout.

Especially then you should try using arrows on your home row.

Not OP, but he did say that he would release the plate files so that we could make our own.
