[GB] DIVERSITY—A multi-layout keyboard inspired by original Cherry style

[SumJoy]

Hello everyone!/你好！

Oh hey, the IC is up. Good luck!

I wish I could budget this in with the other purchases I have made and planned around

Contacted the vendor with my questions and received no response yet. Don't have a discord account and don't believe I have to go to a third party site to contact a vendor that happily would take my money directly without providing a single support link/email.

@SumJoy, is there a Round 2 planned with more vendors please?

I get why you would feel that way, but I will say they have answered multiple questions in the Keys Pensory discord

Thank you.

Do you, or anyone else, recall if the following issue was addressed please? 9009 Hotswap pcbs being listed as fully ISO supported on this site but every build streamer controdicted that.

How are they going to charge delivery cost difference for extra tops after GB ends?

Are FreatherLee and SumJoy the same person?

Hi, 9009 hotswap pcbs only support ANSI

Hey SumJoy,

Was wondering if this PCB has, or supports the addition of, RGB lighting (whether backlit or per-key). Really love this build you've done but definitely need legend lighting for night usage.

Thanks!

It's an absolute stunner. Love the creativity with packing multiple OG big boy layouts into one board. Shame there's no southpaw numpad compatibility though, it'd be an instant consideration for me if it was

This looks sick ! Wish I could afford one right now...
