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

(https://i.imgur.com/NOZAh8h.png)
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 270 for the whole kit

The GB will be held on our site MMStudio (http://mmstudio.store/)

All boards include a pom plate.

The hotswap and solder boards do not include a weight. It is sold separately as an "extra."

The Bluetooth version includes a battery which goes where the weight otherwise would go (that is, you cannot use both the battery and weight at the same time).

Yeah, that's not happening. They haven't even sent out any newsletters, despite the store page recommending that as the best source of info.

I heard a rumor it's shipping, but I haven't heard a peep out of them since joining the GB.

Wow, re-reading this, it seems more negative than I'd intended it.

Anyway, typing this on mine, and it's great.
