Whoa, those images are of a version that support PCB-mounted stabilisers!  :thumb:

Unfortunately, the outermost columns don't support 1u keys as is, because of solder-hole placement bug in PCB design.

BTW. Manufactured by pcbwing? ... That text is still on.

Haha, not accurate.  I figured the manufacturer would have known to remove that...  We'll be sure to remove that for next time.  My 'gerber' skills are non-existent so I relied on the manufacturer for text placement / removal / etc.

Fantastic addition to the line up. Might grab a set at some point.

Any plans to offer a kit including cases and plates?

be cool if you could figure out a case solution to the ergodox other than the litster design, though if you do go the acrylic route please don't do clear top and bottom!

Also I just realized that MechanicalKeyboards is selling the ergodox pcb, the one that supports pcb cherry stabs, for cheaper than MassDrop right now so i think that is pretty cool. I am impressed by the prices of the ergodox and phantom pcbs because with free shipping the price isn't bad at all considering you ship almost always <24 hours as opposed to waiting 2-6 months for a PCB.
