Buying this day one for sure.

Will there be an option to use it without the wrist rest ?

Very interested as well in other plate materials like brass or STS

In for WK + HHKB top for sure !

Good luck with this project, et vive la France.

Beautiful board.

FYI, your embedded link to the store points to:

Code: [Select]

"https//keycapsule.shop"
Which Chrome really dislikes.

This is the most random (but welcome) design inspiration. Love cp_orange.

Will there be content made for this before the GB?

As someone with unsurmountable amounts of hopium, I am big interested.

I know there's the bit about the accompanying keycaps, but man do I want this for MTNU Mitclan.

I was looking for an orange keyboard to put my copy of Motorsport Selectric on- this one would be nice.

As soon as I saw that first mock (heck, even the name with the underscores) I knew it was half life related. Will definitely keep an eye on this, it's gorgeous. Great work!

Blown away by this design. Many great memories and countless hours spent in Hammer Editor. I'm probably in for the whole bundle.
