STILL waiting for the EU prototypes to get here from the UK. I know they sent the package with their economy/slowest/cheapest service, but three weeks seems a little long to me. I'm hoping to receive them soon. As far as I'm aware everyone that isn't in the EU has received theirs, and those I've talked to seem to really enjoy being able to program their 1800
I've started working on "v2" of this project, incorporating more features like in-switch LEDs and a more efficient (size-wise) matrix. I'm thinking about adding RGB, but not sure if it'd be worth it just because I personally really don't care for it - if the demand is there, I can toss it on. The USB port location(s) are also being reworked to make it easier to integrate the PCB with a standard G80/1-1800 case. I have files ready to order a small Pro Micro-ish board to test with a handwire circuit first, then once I work out the kinks I'll get going on the legit board. I still plan to attempt a thicker-than-normal board (probably 2mm), but I'm concerned about stab mounting. I may have to ask some manufacturers about their cavitation abilities, because that'd be the best way to still be able to mount stabilizers.
I'm moving in a few weeks so progress may be a bit slow til after I'm settled. I've also recently switched over to Altium from KiCAD since my new job has some licenses available, so there's a little bit of a learning curve. So far the software has been super powerful and easy to get used to. Either way, I'm aiming to have the next round of these for gb/sale this summer. A super small run (like, 5) protos will probably be done first just for me to personally verify that everything works. Once that's done, I'll open the sale up for however many people would want. I'm aiming for a minimum of 25 of each variation (regular and thick) to make it viable on my end. Obviously the more the better, and I feel like there'd be a good demand for these.
