Not in the plans for the 60%. Our next design which is a 75% will definitely feature a WKL Top. (IC should be up before year end)

I am so interested but having no EU proxy makes this board quite expensive after paying import tax and handling fee.

A lot of people have brought this to our attention, we are trying to work out a proxy. Since we are a small shop and manufacturing everything here in Canada it's not looking too promising since we wouldn't be able to meet demand and keep prices fair without us taking a big hit. With that being said, If we're successful enough in the next 6-8 months, i can almost guarantee we'll have a proxy by then.

I'm pretty sure our universal does support this :)

Would also like to know if there will ever be a 2nd round. Finally getting to trying to make a custom keyboard and I found this beauty but too late. Or any other information about extras would be appreciated too

Hi guys!

Do you plan maybe in the future to run a keyboard in another form factor?

65%, TKL or even something else?

I think with this design philosophy, quality and price range you would have a definite winner!
