nice project and i like the dual mount option but i would advice against using KBDFans as the manufacturer heard they don't treat their designers very well

It looks amazing. Would love to see more about the plate (materials, full vs half, etc), PCB (exploded renders have flex cuts, please consider 1.6mm no flex cut version) and price. Excited to see where this progresses, looking forward to seeing prototypes.

Looks promising, the two colors in the front are not my coup of tea... not my style. The back is looking really good, gl with ic.
Would like to see a 60% with this design

Hello, thank you very much!
Currently we have 2 plate options, one plate for the soldered version and one plate for the hotswap.
I changed the information on the post: The PCB will be 1.6mm, without flexcuts. We used a different pcb for the exploded render.

The bottom is giving major Keycult vibes, but not necessarily a bad thing considering they no longer are a reliable maker. The build looks a little expensive but hopefully actual price is lower being with kbdfans

Please add the option for a 1u blocker! Make it modular so we can have it on:
