Only drawback of this keyboard is that it is not WKL.

I want it anyway. Classy design, good choices (only one color option, only one top), plateless top-mount.

GLWIC!

Everything is on-point, the only thing I would prefer is having more color options. So good, GLWIC!

damn this rules. wish there were more than 20 units for selfish reasons, but i guess with the files being released not getting in on the raffle isn't even that big of a deal

Four corner and plateless seems like such a nice amount of flexy. Count me in!

cool board, maybe offer another top frame colour should be nice, but great job at least

had the benefit of being able to give one of the protos a spin a few weeks ago at a meet. it's genuinely pleasant to type on, and manages to get the vibe transfer of plateless just right without turning it into feeling like a trampoline like other plateless boards have. i'll be envious of whoever ends up with one of these
