$270 for a custom TKL with a QMK pcb and WKL top if you wish (and this includes 90 of their new aliaz switches in the weight of your choice).
I think it looks great and the price seems decent. From what I see in the comments, It appears they're open to adding pretty much any color combo you want (including custom color plates).
The only downside I see is that it would be hard to move around on the desktop with nothing to grab on the edges, and the keys seem to sit exactly level with the board. I prefer the switches to be about 2mm lower.
Thoughts?

last time we had an easily acessable TKL custom was the KMAC
if the quality of this is similar to other kbdfans boards, i'll probably pick one up in the future
a great entry-level board for anyone who wants a TKL custom without paying the premium cost for many of them
plus, i've been looking for a board that i wouldn't feel sacrilegious putting non-cherry switches in
box whites here i come

I've not needed / wanted anything bigger than a 75%, but this looks like such a good buy, and I've had lots of good experience with KBDfans, I might have to put an order in..
I'll probably miss the group buy though as I need to clear some projects first, but I'm optimistic that they'll stock it permanently soon after. If not, aftermarket it is.
