The last color scheme is really sick looking. Reminds me of some cyberpunk / 80s theme. Just found them listed on mechanicalkeyboards.com as being available for order in late November.

Are those 2 knobs in the top right or are they weird buttons?

Do you have side profile shots? I assume the bumps are the rivets you mention, but I知 not sure.

On the last pic the green bumps I'm guessing are the rivets.

Looking at some of the pics the decorative pieces look plastic.

My immediate concern: that's a lot of wasted space for a nav cluster and 2 rotary nobs. Clearly it's an atheistic choice (kinda looks like an afterthought appendage on a 60% board IMO), but it (more importantly) impacts the ergonomics of the board.

Really hoping one day there will be a pre-built with HHKB layout ;) ;)
