Phirr,
you can do that with Acrylic plate. You need to break up the thin part for 2x stabilizer. You would know easily once you got it.

Hantran,
It's just a transparent acrylic bar. It looks plain. Haha
This alu feet awesome, can you add some pictures with:
- Transparent acrylic bottom + alu feet
- Black acrylic bottom + alu feet
- Transparent acrylic bottom + acrylic feed
I want a comparision then change my order hahaha

just get them all :p

any chance that you will be doing another round for the aluminum top and bottom?

As leeku said before the best for LED is transparent bottom + feet, but this alu feet is very cool so i want to see some pictures then decide to order this alu feet  :D

I don't know what to choose... Thinking of alu top + acrylic plate + feet, or just take the basic kit for budget...
Leeku, the plate is clear acrylic? Or is it actually polycarbonate plate?

The acrylic plate is literally acrylic 5mm thick plate.
I would say.... Black acrylic or Alu top and translucent bottom... hmmm it's hard for me either sorry.
Feet is do look fancy. You would like any combination of those. good luck :)

This board is almost a full keyboard crammed into the space of a 75%.
In terms of keys per area, compact 1800 may be one of the densest keyboard around.  Density is good.

Get the Compact SQ.  It's your density... I mean, your destiny...

I'm trying to save some money first! :( + I don't really need the numpad.
But I agree it's an amazing looking board and I had to constrain myself multiple times to not order this one and wait for the 75%...

Great price! :D I have a couple of quick questions.
If I order a black acrylic bottom, will the acrylic feet be black as well?
Is it possible to order both 6.25x and 7x stabilizer wire? I'm not sure which layout I will end up going with yet.

Hi Leeku, this looks great and I'm very interested. This would be my first custom so I have questions:

-Which Gateron switches are included with the assembly service? It says Linear 60g...are these the Gateron 50g blacks or something else? Sorry if that is a dumb question, I haven't heard of a 60g linear Gateron.
-Other than LED indicators, you are not offering any LEDs on the assembly even at an increased assembly price, correct?
-Can I leave a comment in the assembly box to see if you have other options for switches? I would prefer MX/Gateron Brown but that is not a dealbreaker for me. Nevermind you already answered this earlier in the thread.
-Will choosing the assembly service create a delay in receiving the keyboard?

No feets are silver only.
Yes stabilizer includes wires for every possible combinations. 10USD btw. Just comment on the assembly section. Thanks

1. Yes its Gatron 60g linear(black stemmed, black bottom&clear top)
2. cause I don't have enough LEDs on hand. If you are ok with white&pink just comment on the form. I will see if I can do and send you proper invoice.
3. Not sure but it needs one or two weeks. I won't take so long though.

Some people may be pronouncing it as 'Gatron' with the e a bit silent. But yeah it is spelled Gateron.

Apologies, I just learnt about this GB today.  For the split spacebar, are the key sizes 2.25 and 2.75?  For the short right shift, is the key size 1.75?

That would probably be pretty neat, you would have a line all around that glows while the rest is pretty subdued.

I really wonder if I should have ordered every case variation just in case.
