Click here. (https://bit.ly/NP-R) FAQ More 1. What is included in the box? - NP-R top case, bottom case, weight and Plate - All needed screws, standoffs, washers etc. - Layer Knob - Solenoid Switch - PCBs, daughterboard, JSTs and other electrical components - Battery - Rubber feets - LED diffusers Please note the following are NOT included: - Keycaps - Stabs - Switches 2. How many units will there be? This is a group buy. No further GB round is planned yet. 3. Do you have a discord? How to contact you? You can discuss about the NP-R on Flatbrains! discord (https://discord.gg/xmbd2FTM2b). You can also contact me directly (.bagri) on discord, or on my instagram (https://www.instagram.com/bagri_shoot). 4. Have you designed other things? My first project was the GMK Alt grrrrr kit (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=123393.0). Flatbrains! have designed many other projects including the Plaket XL (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=123610.0). Based on IC form questions: - About adding PC option: This won't be implemented at this stage for cost reasons. - About the button and knob: To clarify: the button is a toggle on/off for the solenoid. The knob has 3 fixed positions to change between 3 layers. That doesn't prevent you from mapping additionnal layers on the keys like a regular keyboard. - Regarding Mac/Windows compat: Yes, it is, like any other ZMK board. - Regarding Southpaw and bluetooth: Yes, both included. Refer to the specs :) - Regarding bluetooth vs wired only: The NP-R still be usable if you physically disconnect the battery and decide to use it only wired. It also works in wire mode with the battery connected. - Regarding hotswap PCB: Unfortunately no. There are other electrical components to be soldered to the build besides the switches, so in my view there is little point in providing a hotswap PCB. - Regarding extra parts: The below parts will be available to purchase as extras:
