What's changed since IC begin?
1. Removed badge on the HHKB case due to popular demand
2. Substitute Black finish with Beige (all you beige gang is just too strong)
3. Altered Beige color after receiving prototype, the production unit will be a close match to PANTONE 11-0105 TCX rather than the yellow hue with a greenish tint (Comparison album link click here (https://imgur.com/a/dyWIJNC))
4. RETAINED all plate mounting points (Poron pads from the gasket conversion kit will need to stick onto the protruding plate points)
Without the spacebar and sides' mounting points, the plate's bottom and sides sections do not have enough support during typing which resulting in a very soft or sinking feeling near the spacebar, enter, backspace, L&R shift.
- IF you want to build it with top mont and want a softer typing feel - skip screws near the space bar and left and right side when installing your plate
- IF you want to use the gasket conversion kit, I strongly recommend using all 8 mounting points and install Poron pads on all of them.
Here is a video demo using all 8 points on an aluminum plate
Here is a sound test video with the gasket conversion kit - Box cream with PBT GOK BoW, no plate or case foam installed

Good news and bad news update
Bad News
As of this Thursday, the regional government where M0110 has been produced implemented further restrictions on industrial power usage to combat peak electricity shortages in the area. I've been told its is 2 days on, 5 days off
Good News
1. To combat the above restriction and avoid delays we will switch production to night mode (sleep by day, work overnight), fulfilment in Q4 this year remains unchanged
2. CNC portions for case, weight and plates are nearly complete, will head into surface treatment soon in the coming weeks
2. PCBs are all finished despite MCU shortages
3. Hello m0110 will have new packaging, will post some pics when the prototype arrives
My own todo list for now:
1. Producing a new separate daughterboard that will be compatible with Drop's run, ONLY for those who filled in the Drop After-Sale form(completed)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10 September - 60% Machining are complete, surface finishing will follow at the end of the machining (beginning of October), PCB due to be finished at the end of next week
11 July - order finalised, submitted to manufacture
