Update Fequency, Terms & Conditions
We will update you on GB progress, manufacturing and shipping details at minium once every 2 weeks, or when important information becomes available.
You can expect to recieve your items before the advertised time, however uncontrollable circumstances may cause this time frame to be extended.
We aim to provide the highest quality Keyboards to our users. Our QA process should pick up any imperfections, however if a sub-par keyboard does manage to reach you, imperfections will be evaluated based on their location and size.
The outcome of this evaluation may result in a full/partial replacement, full/partial refund or return depending on the severity of the imperfection.
Specific Pantone Colors and Switch Plate .stp files will be released after the GB.

i really like the layout.. bottom row is nice..No waist of space with unnecessary blockers.
And i like the right row of keys (4). Give's me room to have home/end + page up/down.
all without having to use Fn to reach them. And the exploded nature keeps things nice and
separated. And having the encoder on the other side is refreshing for sure..
And while taste is subjective i think it works my compliments.
i don't mind the price for a board that works so well with the layout i love to see.
Only question i have is " will there be any EU vendors" (like CandyKeys in Germany)..
Because if i have to add 21% + 11% on top of the total price it's kind of to much for me..
i really don't mind the shipping fees. I just don't like having to pay all that extra on the price including shipping.
Because that turns this board in to a $490 to $520 board..

What kind of interface is the encoder? D or star?
