Would you mind elaborating? Is the plate sandwiched between both halves of the case, like a patty in a hamburger?

Hi all,

I was able to build the board today and have added a typing video for your viewing pleasure!

https://vimeo.com/262596875 (https://vimeo.com/262596875)

Will also add it to the OP so it will be easier to find in the future.

Thanks for looking! I'm also updating the OP with pricing information. :)

Yeah, this is some good stuff.

I hope HHKB and Winkeyless will both be an option because I need one of each!

Red and Dark Purple would be nice.

Keep up the nice work, Quan!

I don't believe that is one of the currently planned colors but it is certainly possible. The real question is, is there enough people interested in gold to justify doing it.

Sweeeet! Thought the form was there to only grab the popular pick. I’m glad that’s not the case!

@Quan, Just curious, would you be opposed to making the top flush with the bottom of the case? Like the TX60 is?

I know this may be an unpopular opinion but I prefer the look of the lip. I think it gives the board identity compared to everything else I see these days.

Can the lip go all the way to be flush with the top of the case? I think that would look pretty nice
