    Manufacturing Issue:

    The fit between the top case and the stainless steel middle is slightly too tight due to a manufacturing fault. The two case parts do fit together but makes assembly and disassembly quite difficult. To fix this issue, it was decided that the edges of the screw points on the underside of the top case be filed back slightly to improve the fit. These points are not visible when the keyboard is built or unbuilt and only visible when the top case is completely removed. This issue is detailed in the images below, the build guide, Clackbait's VOD and Alexotos most recent Quantum60 stream.



    Almost every unit has filing to some extent, with some screw points requiring more filing than others.

    Are the O-Rings standard?
    No, the O-Rings are custom sized. Additional hardnesses and extras will be available.

    Finally plateless xt after Jubi

    However, not a fan that you can see the two different colors from all sides. If Top and Bottom have different colors, I would rather only see bottom color from behind only and from side. Looks kinda weird to me otherwise.

    Sand is a grey?

    Bottom always silver and Top is the mentioned colors?

    Color samples, bottom and top pic are the same colors?

    Hope price can be reduced with GB.

    The top and bottom aluminium cases are the same colour, I think the silver piece you are referring to is the stainless steel weight along the edge and the polycarbonate piece. I am right in thinking that?

    Sand is a tan colour.

    Yes both colour samples are the same colours, just in different lighting conditions and a different order.

    hell yeah, this is very cool. that's a smart design to allow for traditional o-ring mount, always cool to see new approaches to mounting

    corner blockers (hhkb style) would be a nice option to have for layout - (i find my hands naturally gravitate towards that)
    love the XT column on a 60

    Very interesting! Plateless O-ring seems fun, curious how that feels. Love the look and the small lip at the front of the board!

    I always thought Gummy O-Ring and Plateless, two of my favorite things, were mutually exclusive.

    You, sir, are a mad genius. I don't have 500 bucks but GLWIC, this really looks and sounds like a premium board that deserves that price.

    It's 1.6mm, just built mine last week. I used Clip-in stabs with mine as well, not sure if screw in stabs would work.
