Class65

 The Class65 designed by us, MMStudio, was inspired by
 (https://i.imgur.com/OkNLFZb.jpg)
by the artist  Florian Renner (https://www.behance.net/gallery/31039385/GAME-BOY-1up) his take on the modern Gameboy gave us the idea to try to incorporate parts of its design into the board.

Please make sure to give feedback on the board on the IC FORM (https://forms.gle/VyN9pYF5kferoiQv7)

Design Elements

The Class65 features a Macro column and an exploded 65 column, with a plateless design. It uses leaf springs gaskets in order to have a both soft and bouncy typing experience. There is an optional POM plate. To help give it a strong sound we implemented a hidden brass weight. We will offer two types of plates PCB mount and Plate mount. This option was done because we wanted to allow for others to chose what they wanted. The ease of access to stabs with plate mount, or the stronger connection with PCB mount. Final design decision was center USB-c Port because Centered life is best life.

With an expected price of 350 for the whole kit

your website says e-white, the GB thread says 3-beige. you need to be much more clear and consistent about this.

i think the pink would be better if it was a "rose gold" pink or a really saturated pink, the rest looks really nice
