Hi!

I want to understand the low interest.

- Design and layout
- Price
- No weight
- No marketing with influencers
- Others

Please leave your feedback.

Thank you.

I'm extremely interested and would love to buy one from you if the GB/IC fails.  Love the look of Lariat on the back and how it matches the Ford Pickup truck.

It's time to buy and cooperate with the project... We can customize the color, blockers material/color, weight, name...

Tbh i think this is a good value of a keyboard.

Too bad i live quite far from where the project is. The shipping and import to my country made this keyboard to be not so good in term of value.

Where are you from? If you really interested to buy we can make a little compensation for the shipping/tax value.
