Gerald65 Alice-Style 65% keyboard
Introducing the Gerald65, a 65% Alice-style keyboard. Right above the arrow keys, this keyboard features a full 4 keys maintaining a consistent border around the top of the arrow keys. The Gerald65 will be built out of stacked acrylic layers and will have a variety of plate options. Similar to the Arisu, there is not an additional key on the right-hand side. However, unlike the Arisu, this keyboard has the P in the horizontal position, to make it easier for your pinky to find.

Pricing:TBD, but I am aiming to sell it right around $150 for the kit.
Extra plates will also be sold, each plate will come with an extra gasket kit.

Update:2/24/2021
-The corners are now slightly rounded, making it much nicer to handle, and making it look a bit nicer
-Gasket has been redesigned. The plate no longer goes all the way to the side of the keyboard and is instead hidden by an additional acrylic layer. This makes the side look much cleaner, and also gives us more flexibility with the gasket. I don't have pictures of this new system yet, but once I receive the new switch plates, I will update with some pictures.
-Added approximate timelines and price to this thread
