A few hurdles your going to have to overcome1) Most everyone has already purchased an aluminum case for a 60% layout so if you PCB won't fit then they won't be interested.2) Price, unless it is competitive I don't see any reason why people would buy this board versus any other.3) The dual backlighting is a nice gimick but only offering red+blue and blue+green, meh.

Quote from: j121511 on Thu, 20 February 2014, 08:09:07thanks for your suggestion. We consider to design same screw holes to fit Poker at beginning. But engineer thank that it will be easlier for workers to screw from back side instead of front side. Save much working hours and save lead time.
