Marketing Intro: The Community should professionally rip off classic Icons. Somebody will thockably overhaul anime-inspired Alice Layouts. And Massdrop Employees can efficiently create reliable 40% Kits. Then Massdrop Employees can astonishingly engineer CNC-machined PVD Brass Cases. Us, Keyboard Collectors will perfectly optimize retro-futuristic Icons. Paul could timely build dynamic Spacebars. Thus,Literally, All R/mk Users will surprisingly simulate colorful Aviator Plugs. Therefore, Armchair Designers should efficiently unleash state-of-the-art Bezels. Lastly, Big China could extremely dropship uniform Flex Cuts and Product Designers will dramatically disrupt A-minus stock Typing Experiences

Wow very nice and thought out design, grippable sides to allow for easy movement from one place to another. True and tested, no frills, all game jane v2 plate that offers a firm yet pleasant typing feel while also offering a wide range of exchangeability due to the popularity of the plate and the materials other designers and vendors offer. The clear 3M bumpons that many enthusiasts in the recent years have grown to dislike plays a part in not drawing attention to the feet but rather the curvature and the tastefully done fillets and chamfers of the bottom case and the brass weight, an utilitarian design like no other before it. The screws being hex head allow for the screws to not strip easily and by also not being very deep, most certainly allowing for the usage of any screwdriver kit in order to assemble and disassemble the board without causing any scratches due to the bits being too short to reach the screws. The engraving on the inside of the brass weight captures the ethos and idalism that this project truly wants to portray, through a saying by blacksimon (kurosimon). Letting the people know the importance of the T H O C C reaches far beyond a certain sound signature and it is actually the friends we made along the way. By having a brass weight covering most of the inside of the board the true sound signature will probably lean towards clack rather than T H O C C, but this is most definitely outside the intentions of this board which wants to embrace the T H O C C concept as a whole, rather than to limit it, into solely being a adjective to describe a deep sound. In a post modernistic unironic but very satiric nuance, the T H O C C emote laser engraved into the f13 position, is truely a masterpiece, adding that "je ne sais quoi" to the entire experience this keyboard offers. Offering a entrance to the deep lore of the T H O C C emotes found throughout various based keyboard discords. Certainly it should be sent for a review from our most esteemed and notable content creators like Andy V Nguyen and Hipyo Tech, for they are only the ones who can truly unlock the true potential this keyboard offers.

We are really running out of board shapes now that we have to tap into the abstract void for these new designs.
