It also features a clean and minimal design by having hidden brass weight to deliver a more consistent sound profile across the board while still providing a load to it.

Our challenges and how we react to it:-
Possible anodization color did not live up to expectations?
To overcome such challenges we will try to minimize such uncertainty by placing 2nd prototype and anode chip to color check against our renders).
Delay in shipping and bad product being handled to doorstep which will further delay the GB?
We have placed our own representative to facilitate local manufacturer processes to minimize risk and ensuring manufactured goods are to what we expected before shipping to our doorstep for further QC and fulfilment.
Frequently-asked-questions :-
Q: Is there any hotswap PCB to be made available?
A: Currently we have no plans to provide for hotswap PCB. 29/07 - Due to demand in hotswap pcb, we are going to provide one.
Q: Is the LED programmable, if so isit RGB?
A: No its not RGB, you would have to solder in the LEDs (we will provide only white LEDs). Else, you could just install with the brass blocker if you prefer non luminated.
Q: How long is the fulfilment time or groupbuy dates?
A: ETA: Q3 2022
Q: Where are you guys based?
A: We are based in Penang, Malaysia. and our designer is based in Bali, Indonesia.

I promised that we will have an update on the new carrying case we been working on and it finally came into the studio today. The new case turns out better than we expected when compared to the older case we had.
Some slight changes we had done as summarized below :-
1. New carrying case will support for both Typ 65+ and Typ 60
2. Case is much more rigid as you can see from the picture (yes we done some squish test to it)
3. Precise cut that fits well without cloth/ with cloth
4. Two channel cutout at the bottom of the case to fit Typ 60 blockers / To fit extra tools or anything you may fit with friction fit sponge cut so stuff wont slide around
5. Better hard plastic/rubber handle instead of rubber/nylon handle given in V1.
