Diversity TKL was the banger for me last year, I'm in for the new design 

[SumJoy]

Update:
change the manu to str, and the price will fall to around $390(TKL) since we'll make a good deal with str.
and all the colors above will be made
hoping start the GB in mid May.

[blondie]

Why is this called TKL when I see ten keys in all of the photos?

[xyzzy42]

yeah, QMK powered and vial supported

Will source code be made available, as is required for QMK license?

I ask because I can not find anything for Diversity TKL, your previous project.  I don't see anything named Diversity in QMK repo.  There is nothing in VIAL repo for diversity.  It's not in the VIA supported keyboards list.  I can't find even find firmware binary or via json file online.

Okay, I'll make the firmware open-sourced in keyspensory's dc channel first once the GB is over. As for Diversity, I made it open-sourced in the dc channel already.
