You had me at polycarb + brass.

Seriously this is an superb design but I will say this again.  I don't want any more 60%.  Make it 66% at least, 70% or better still give us a full size in this design with ISO included.   There are enough 60% around.

If you were to make it 100% or even 100% - FKeys it would look very like the keyboard of the 1980 Memotech 512 computers.  You could have a black and red plates.

I agree, bigger than 60 would be nice, but on the other hand one of the reasons the format is so popular is that it’s easy to design a tray mount case. Most 60s use the same mounting points based on the Poker, and so it’s easy for beginners to build a board and just upgrade the case, and you don’t need to design a custom PCB etc.

I would also be interested in a discord link. Hopefully this becomes available for sale a couple months from now, the amount of buys running this July and August (and competing for my limited budget :p) is insane.

Looking for a nice 60% case that comes in either orange or blue. Hoping this will be the one.

I hope not, its really cute and well designed but didn't generate very much buzz the first time around. I really hope it still happens.

Saw a prototype in person at a meetup. It was nicer than I was expecting and also quite heavy. You'd be surprised how heavy it is - it had the brass inserts. One of the heaviest 60% at the meetup.

Is bumper dead or just sleeping? I want to make sure I set aside enough so I'm ready.
