As someone who loves Dolch... This is amazing!! Will this design ever run as a group buy?

Please tell us more about it. Who replicated the case in metal? Was there a group buy? Or is this just a prototype? What type of mount? Custom PCB? What's unique?

I do not speak English well.
I am communicating using a translator.
I'm preparing to do groupbuy in Korea
So far, it's a prototype.

I'm not great with Korean, but I do speak/read/write at a basic level so can help if you need anything. Let me know! Best of luck with the group buy. I wish we enthusiasts outside of Korea could participate.

That is not a replica. It is just inspired by Dolch.

Dolch keyboards have the G80-1800 layout. This is TKL.

Dolch keyboards are completely flat which makes them a pleasure to type on.This one is wedge shaped.

I also suspect that the different materials would affect typing feel adversely.

I meant to say produced. I did notice the different layout. Of course, if it's done in a metal case, I would expect that it's change the type feel more than anything.
