Will the stabilizer spacers clearance issue for backspace key, as shown in the video, be fixed? Also what's the material for the case and plates?
Can we know if this future Solder PCB will support other layouts? And also support standard MX switches?
I need my split backspace.
I also prefer a different configuration for my bottom row with a 1u on the right side of the left spacebar

Yes. It will support multiple layouts. That's the purpose of having the solderable PCB. It will support MX and ALPS.
Do you mean split the 2.75u key with 1.75u+1u? The layout hasn't been finalized yet so I do need more input.

I much prefer traditional spacebar layout as this as well. Considering to join if we can have this option.Can we know if this future Solder PCB will support other layouts? And also support standard MX switches?

I would personally want something like this similar to other alice layouts like below, but then you would have to redo the top case to accomodate the extra key.
now that i think about it its basically just swapping the left and right spacebar cluster lol. i guess its too late for that.
Having the 1u key on the left makes it more ergonomic when using as an fn key, rather than trying to reach for the 1u key on the right with your left thumb while your right hand is on the mouse or arrow keys or nav clusters. You could use the “nice” key as your left side fn but then again it looses the ergonomics since its too far from the home rowShow Image(https://i.imgur.com/JEh11DA.jpg)

Great news thanks
I was thinking more as the screenshot above 2.25u + 1u or even 2u + 1u
Will we be able to purchase this solder PCB before the board ships so that we don't have to pay for shipping again?
Is the blue colour final as shown in the prototype or aiming to be close to renders?
You mentioned about solderable pcb offered in the future run. Is it just the pcb will be available or another groupbuy for the whole kit?
Cheers!
I'd like to see the 1u key in between either spacebar removed. i.e. make the configuration like Owlab's Spring or Meridian, with 2.75u spacebar on the right and the 2.25u on the left or vice versa. Also, another vote for split backspace support as well.
Also, I thought the 1.75u right shift is a little odd for a TKL. Definitely less need to use layers for most TKL users. Would rather see that as a standard full 2.25u shift (hopefully getting the sizing right) and split backspace support.
tentative layout for the MX/ALPS solder PCB for those who care about it

aiming to be closer to the renders.
same for the red color on the black kit.

I can't quite tell from the render, is the red going to be more bright red or burgundy in color?

Just the PCB.
We do not have a plan for another group buy for the kit.
