How would this compare to a regular o-ring mounted tofu?

I have tofu o-ring mounted too... This have better sound, better design in my opinion and heaviest...

85-90 USD for a CNC'ed gasket mount board seems nice, would like some more info on the IC though. also you posted this in IC section twice

Which informations do you want?
-
im going to go sleep now so i will finish this post tomorrow but i would recommend looking at the IC's of some relatively popular keyboards and see how you can implement some stuff they have in theirs

Could we get an in-depth view of how the gaskets are placed? Also, in your IC, the color option was only allowing me to pick one color, but I had a few in mind. If you changed that to multi-select, that would be awesome.

Hi! Check the design images and you can see on the video at time 1:00. I changed the IC to multi-select color. Thanks for the contribution.

To launch GB I Will ask the customers about suggestions of vendors/payments methods (PayPal?!). I have contacted more than 12 companies to got this price and execute de prototype. Shipping Will be 45-60 days after GB ends.

Thanks for the pictures! Very nice to see you're responding fast to these comments, I appreciate it!

Look awfully similar to the keychron board, Good pricing though :thumb:

Colour matching anodizing is hard and many GBs end with boards that are different colours to what people were expecting, this is a budget oriented buy so you don't want to be spending lots on samples to match custom colours.
If you have someone in mind to do the anodizing ask for some samples of shades of those colours they can do reliably and chose from them :thumb:

Any chance for e-coat variants?
-
Maybe, It Will depend the orders, because e-coating need at least 50pcs/color.
-
The LM60 blue color is done.

Happy to see that there's still progress here. i'm still pretty much interested in getting one. Will it be available from different vendors in different parts of the world or from one internationally shipping place?
