Is there a sample for Blue grey colour? I'm interested in Joining but I wanna see what that colour looks like first before deciding (looked like IC thread and I don't see it anywhere)

Thank you for the interest! Unfortunately, I haven't made any prototype in blue grey as this was the last minute decision.
I will see if I can request a blue grey sample from factory next week.
The blue grey in the photo below is what I have in mind but it wouldn't be exactly the same.

How would something like this sound?

Looks good, would there be an option to just get that sleek carrying case?

I have a sound clip in the IC thread but I ran out of tactile switch and I only had clicky switches left so the clip might not do the justice. It’s quite loud though.

I might be running a GB for the case when the keyboard GB is in production so you have to wait a bit on that one.

It’s around 3.5 kg with the case and packaging.

This looks cool. Would you mind giving us a little more background which manufacturer is making the cases and, even more importantly, your experience in running and resources available to run group buys? Many thanks!

First time running a GB and I'm running this by myself.

Many thanks for that. Is there anything you feel comfortable adding about your financial resources to cover unexpected hiccups in the manufacturing and assembly process? Are you able to disclose who is making these keyboards (which manufacturer)?
