Specifications


XT 65%

8 Point Top Mount

9° Typing Angle

18mm Front Height

~2kg (4.4lb) Unbuilt

Sound Test Playlist (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHjg8DhoDVHjip5y2_DZgtOmUI0D7fj8E)


GB Info

At 10moq, I am expecting price to be around $380 per unit (including one PCB and shipping from manu)

While I don't have a specific GB date in mind, I would like to wait until after CNY to avoid delays.

Color choices are expected to be Pantone 2727 C, 2455 C, and 875 C.

All units will have a silver aluminum plate & bottom, with your color choice only affecting the top half.

I will make plate files available for those that would like to have one cut from anything else.

PCBs will be offered in both solder and hotswap, expect them to be about $30-35 each for extras.

GB units will not be from the same manufacturer as the prototype, as I am very disappointed with the machining quality.

Thank you, Ducky, for the wonderful pictures <3

I'm surprised you're aiming so low on the MoQ. This seems pretty nice.

Though, I did accidentally read the name as "shart" at first...

I'll be fulfilling the GB from home, so I don't want to end up overwhelmed and take forever to ship, I'd be willing to go to 20 or so units total. I figured it was a safer bet to give the 10moq price in case 20 isn't reached :)

(also, I've lovingly called it shart through most of the project's life <3 )
