This is fantastic news. Was about to pull the trigger on an Ergo for insane aftermarket price.

Question, I'm assuming the "Other" option for case color is a mistake and only the 4 colors listed are available? Or is there something I'm missing

it's probably too late to consider, but i think it would look cleaner if all 4 corners were the same/unified? either all sharp or all round idk.

Yeah I mentioned the same thing on the discord, that part of the board is rather.. un thought of? from that perspective.

Either way I'll take it, but the corners of the light diffuser should really be rounded off to match the corners of the board itself.

Received my kit today. What's the difference between the black and white/clear rubber grommets? I think the black ones feel a little harder, but I'm not sure. Also, likely due to rough package handling, the JST connector on one of the PCBs arrived broken off. It looks like I might be able to fix it, but if I can't, how do I best contact you?

In the discord server they mentioned that black and white ones are the same, just color difference. Few other people also had issue with the PCB and Mechlovin mentioned that you can DM him for any PCB issues.

Received my board a few days ago, it is in pristine condition. Not sure if it was mentioned here but there were a few outstanding things:

1. The JST connector on the PCB is very fragile, folks have had issues with it snapping off when trying to connect the cable. Superglue and a re-solder seems to help.
2. The order form for the board mentioned that an extra daughterboard was included with the additional PCB if you ordered one. This was apparently not true and was a typo according to LZ, no extra DB included.
3. The "navy" color does not appear to be navy or even blue for that matter. The sample from the first post is distinctly blue however the color shipped is a greyish purple. Myself and several others have mentioned this but have not heard any sort of acknowledgement from LZ on this. While I get the color will vary slightly and that the nature of GBs means that things can change pretty quick, I think it is important that this is at least addressed. The REs that was just in GB for close to $1k also has this same color, at the very least the color name should change to reflect the actual color. Below is the sample and then actual pictures of the "navy" color.
