I'm in, but is there any way to make those two 1.25u keys at the top into just 1u? It's super painful to try to find top row profile 1.25, but I love having a couple extra buttons up there. I think it's quite likely that most people on the drop would prefer 1u keys up there with how hard sculpted top row 1.25u keys are going to be to find.

I am planning on doing a build with the MT3 Godspeed, and it's going to run into the same thing that @elmo is going to run into: MT3 does not have a single R0 or R1 1.25u cap anywhere in the sets. You'd think Godspeed would have one in one of the 20 sets, but there is none. I almost think I may have to cancel my GB entry if we can't make an option for the plate to be 1u for those two keys. There are so many nice 1u novelty caps on both Gospeed and Susuwatari that I would love to have sit there, but 1.25u just isn't going to work. What do you think @Scarecrow ?
Totally agree, I'm not feeling too confident, although the main reason I decided to pull the trigger was that it was going through zFrontier is some way, so hoping they can help keep this on track somehow. Maybe email them?
This is the two fonts to choose from.Show Image(https://i.loli.net/2019/01/17/5c40751fb129c.png)Show Image(https://i.loli.net/2019/01/17/5c40752fa5ffa.png)
After comparing several fonts, i decided to use the thick font as the forehead logo font.
Too thin line fonts do not match the typewriter's metal industry style.
Given that Vietnam, South Korea, Europe, North America, and Thailand all have their own ideas, they cannot be unified, and they cannot be unified.
So i just make a public version of the logo according to my own ideas.
The bottom case has been produced, and the top cover and outer casing are initially scheduled to be processed on January 21st.

I would like the 'typewriter' logo to be engraved but not the sentence along the front.

YES！
The purchase page at the time has such an option.If you choose not to engrave，we will follow the order requirements.
If you want to change, please contact ZF in time.Because of the Chinese New Year，most companies will have a holiday including zf，so they may not reply to you in time.There are other questions you can contact me on GH.I will often visit GH during the CNY.

My intention is that the top row is placed R3 1.25u keycap.I have already indicated this in IC，because Signature Plastics has a lot of R3 1.25u personality keycaps，so i want to put them in top.Show Image(https://i.loli.net/2019/01/17/5c40a3b2a5af4.jpg)

For about two months, English zFrontier site's supporters have not responded to any of the buyer's emails.

I agree with that.
I already stated in another post, that 1u keys would look extremely out of place in that spot next to the escape key.
And there are definitely a lot sets that have r0 or r1 1.25u switches. Just becuase Godspeed doesn't shouldn't be the reason to change the whole design.
Another thing that isn't fully clear to me yet:
I chose the option to not engrave the case (the weird line of text just doesn't fit the design I think).
Will the Typewriter logo on the left top of the case be engraved anyways? Or will it be completely without engraving and only the nametag?
Also will the nametag have the swirled font or will that get the bold letters that you showed in the post earlier?
Because I think the bold letters on the nametag would look as good... :-X
Yeah, I'm fine with the 1.25u on the top, I think it's more critical to get our answers on the engraving: will the red letter "T" Typewriter logo be an option on the top left or not? If not, are you planning on replacing that logo with the blocky font?
Okay, so just to be clear, you are NOT going to be engraving the Typewriter logo with the red "T" and the script font, you WILL be engraving the blocky font you have posted in this thread instead on the top left of the top piece. Thanks, I will be reaching out to zFrontier to remove the engraving all together.
Well, that is a bummer, but I would be happy if we could do what is attached in this image. In other words, keep the original Typewriter68 font with the red "T", but don't engrave the other text. See attached image for what I'd prefer.
That's it.
I'm going to open up a PayPal dispute now. :-X
Any updates?

Production is all finished, GB runner/designer will go to pick them up this weekend, and allow 2-3 days for packaging, you should expect to have it in you hand by mid April.
I did indeed get mine, but unfortunately there was some damage in shipping. I am working with Alex at zFrontier to try to figure out a solution. It's a little heartbreaking since the actual board is amazing, and assuming it had not been damaged in transit, I would be perfectly happy with it all. It's a SUPER-CHONK, definitely the heaviest board I've ever handled.
I wish I knew if and when there would be extras for sale.
Can we have a re-run of this ? :)
