Looks stunning in both colors.Which mounting method do you prefer for this board?GLWGB!
Is getting TOP ONLY an option? some of us R0 users might want to get a WK top Hopefully CK can help us out
starting price very very goodin
Don't suppose there's a chance for a top mounted SKU with hot swap sockets? Don't trust myself enough with a soldering iron to stake $380 on it
Will this have support for other pcbs like the h60?
The board looks absolutely great. Noob question here but can you mill max a plateless build? Are the switches going to pop off? Even with a half plate build?Also, would there be a Canadian vendor or Canadians should go through Cannonkeys?

With a half plate it should be OK on the mods/keys that are supported but depending on what switch you use the legs may be loose. I suggest trying with a switch or two and seeing how they work. I do not ensure, or support millmaxing the PCB-mounted PCB without a full plate, just so we're clear.As for a Canadian vendor unfortunately we already have a record number of vendors so we cannot add one more, so you will have to go through CannonKeys.

Oh yiss it's great that Leviatan is more accessible with the soft cap. Finger crossed.

Regardless of which vendors I use I am going to be managing things myself so rest assured, things will be speedy.

RESERVED November 17th Update :Overall project updates: Beige prototype has arrived, I have built it and all tolerances are perfect, will upload pictures of internals within the coming days (not home for thanksgiving break) R0 units are expected early December, once they arrive and I have completed QC the sale for the extras will happen. Discussion with vendors is ongoing, but EU/NA have been agreed, information to follow.I have added a Topre drop-in kit for Leviatán. Both MX and Topre will be supported with the same case. MX will be plateless as originally intended Topre will be top mount with an FR4 plate. December 5th updateAll the closed group buy units have shipped to me, I should be receiving them this week. Once I have quality checked them all I will compile a list of the available extra units to be sold. Because I do not have the infrastructure to use fancy raffle sites I will just compile the entries on a google forms and invoice the respective winners. My goal is to have the main boards out of my house before Christmas, with the extras sale happening once everyone has received their unit and there are no issues anywhere. I will keep a fairly large amount of PCBs stocked up so that those with a need for more PCBs can get one. Sagrada is delivering Q1 2023 as well, with the PCB being shared across both projects. This was done to make sure borked PCBs can be replaced easily and cheaply. I am working with vendors to secure the final group buy information, and I have already implemented topre to the design. More information to come soon.

Will Leviatan fit an H60 PCB in top mount config?
Is there any chance of the GB happening before July 1st? I just want to know if I can spend this months budget on something else LOL :-DPlease just say "no, July 1st at the earliest but probably mid-July".
The group buy will open July 1st and it will run though July, until the 31st!

Will probably go full on solder then.
what keycaps are those in the first couple renders?

Will probably go full on solder then.I can tell you from experience that mill-max even with a full plate, if your plate doesn’t fit your switches tightly enough you can have issues with lots of switches pulling out when changing keycaps. For me personally I would never mill-max a plateless or half-plate build. I think the fact that boards intended to be built this way don’t offer hotswap further backs this up.
Any updates on this?
