Please have a look at the product images to see all of the switch layout options.
I found it here: https://caps-unlocked.com/blog/everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-cu65-and-the-upcoming-group-buy/ (https://caps-unlocked.com/blog/everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-cu65-and-the-upcoming-group-buy/)Please have a look at the product images to see all of the switch layout options.
I can't seem to find the layout option images on the product page or Instagram?
This looks like a killer deal, shame that it's a 65%. Do you possibly have a 75% variant planned?
Also, where do the keyboards ship from? Would hate to pay customs fees in EU...
Are we likely to see some pics of the full package (rather than just the case) before the GB deadline? I'm really tempted to take the plunge but I'd really like to see something approaching the finished article first.

Yes! More images will be uploaded tomorrow of the CU65 kit with JTK Red Riot keycaps!

Several images added to the store page!
PCB images show how we are getting split-BS, ANSI, ISO and Stepped Caps all on one board!
HS-Socket and Switch orientations depend onthe layout you choose.

east and west facing switches are not a good idea, the x and y axis of the stems are different and if they arent matched with their corresponding slots the keycaps can stretch or even break, I bought the keyboard before I noticed this, I hope that you reconsider this approach

If this won't be changed, then avoid using GMK sets or any keycaps with stiffer MX cross holes. Smaller tolerance issues of Kailh BOX stems broke lots of GMK keycaps.

Please stop bull****ting other people, the MX stem is an even cross 4.1mm in both dimensions and with even thickness on both east-west and north-south axes. The only reason why turning switches 90° might be a problem is with some sculpted keycap profiles, the keycap can collide with switch housing, producing unwanted noise and reducing travel.
Sideways switches were used e.g. in MiniVan for years and nobody minds them, with uniform profiles it's literally a non-issue.Show Image(https://www.cherrymx.de/_Resources/Persistent/6bebb030b82eefee917f281a11cf4f4c20eb7119/keycap_Design-1250x602.png)

CU80 is still not delivered, so although I've planned to get in I'll skip this GB (this switch orientation problem just confirms that decision).
After consulting with a wide variety of members in the keyboard community, and testing whether east/west facing switches changed any characteristic of all keycap types I own (thin lasered Corsair strafe ABS keycaps, thick 1.5mm PBT ePBT slate, and JTK Tripleshot (thick) ABS, I discovered that east/west facing switches do not stretch, crack, or in any way damage keycaps.
How is it going? Any news?
