Why we do the newest version
When we consider the upgrading for our newest 96 kit,the weight is a speical reason.So we add the brass weight for our old kit 1(Melody 96)
And because the reason,we consider more factors.
Compatibility,new function,new feeling etc.
After confirm last with our boss
We choose the same size,but use the speical acrylic bottom with brass weight.
For the situation,we upgrade our hotswap 96 V2 pcb to V3 RGB south facing hotswap pcb.
But sorry for that we still have not prepared ISO layout for this pcb now,will consider it in future.
And consider the better handle feeling in this kit,we upgrade the foam be the new two sets(one for the middle of pcb and plate,another one for pcb below).Still is EVA material.
After you add foam for this kit,we will upgrade the foam to the two sets freely.

Quick question on the powder orange color. Will the final product be a lighter, pastel-ish orange like in the image, or more of a traditional orange.
This sounds like a great deal, and i'm very interested in joining this GB. Just need to figure out which color :D
-
Yeah,we will use the same color as the image,so don't worry this.
-
is this pcb and plate compatible with older melody kits?
-
Yes,we will prepare the same size for the pcb,so it will fit our old case,plate and kit.
-
Last time,I just forget that we have upgraded the old foam to the new two sets.Let me add the images tomorrow..Because our camera just went for repairs.
-
Realy would love to see an ISO Version cuz im from Germany
Can we get the normal Case with Powder White? or is it just a pictury for showing the color and not the case?
-
I am sorry for that we still have not done ISO layout now...And the Powder white is the display of images,we will do the 96 powder white case for it.
