Hi Guys!
Thanks for the good feedback!
In regards to the Saturn60 - We were designing a bent metal enclosed case long before the Saturn60 came about (or at least before we were aware of it). It's hard to make a bent metal case with a raised back for a chunky keyboard not look similar in design. We were also very sure we wanted a handle on the new enclosed case (since it's a big boy to carry around) before the Saturn60. However, in all honesty, after becoming aware of the Saturn60 there were a couple of things we took inspiration from, but that was more the internal mounting, not the design and aesthetics of the case. Any "old school" style bent metal case is going to end up looking very similar.
In regards to the layout - After a lot of feedback, we're working on a optional more standard layout for the core of the board. It would feature a 7u spacebar and a more conventional stagger for the rows.
I'll post some pictures of the updates once we're certain of the changes we want to make.
