I've updated the first post with new vendors joining us. We now have a nice coverage.

We also decided to run the GB from November 5th to December 5th.

Last but not least, I heard you and I started working on a hotswap PCB. Doing my best to be able to propose it for the GB.

Thanks for the support so far, we're really happy with the reception, it means a lot. ♥️

100% in, though it would be nice to have a hotswap pcb option if possible.

I unfortunately assumed the pricing on clickclack was accurate, and was really excited. I think it's a great design but not in a 400+ mood right now in the hobby. Good luck with your GB, it's a beautiful board!  :thumb:

Always been a fan of old boards with layouts like this. Lots of keys without losing mouse space and looks really good. GLWIC

Is there a way to do red and silver? Also is the main promo shot red and silver or red and beige (the group buy choice) because it looks like silver to me?

Hey folks!
Quick update: The GB is now live until Devember 5th!
You can find the list of vendors and links to product pages in the first post.

We've tried to listen to your feedback as much as possible, so here are a few changes:
- Hotswap PCB is now available! (with the keyboard kit and as an extra)
- Extra plates : Alu silver w/ flexcuts and clear PC w/o flexcuts
- Accent and top pieces available separately
- the black kit now comes with a red alu plate instead of a silver one

Unfortunately, we're unable to create a thread in the GB section of the forum.
For this reason we'll use this IC thread's second post for updates about the GB as well.

Bisous !

The promo shot (wasn't really a promo shot tbh) is in silver/red because we used early unit before even doing this GB. We used the pictures because they are beautiful and show well the design of the keyboard. But yeah unfortunately we decided to not go with silver/red for the GB because we felt that beige/red was more close to the retro vibe we wanted. Having silver/red also would have been redundant, so silver/blue appeared.

The closest you can get is by ordering a modern blue with red accent as extra. You'll only miss the red plate.
