I’m in for one of each set, one of each artisan. I skipped the red and blue modifier sets as those don’t particularly appeal to me, but looking forward to outfitting a short stack of my favorite boards in my favorite profile (I got to type on a few prototype caps and they’re AMAZING).

I took a WOB and a Black blank keyset :wink:

I’m in for a black blank set + artisan!

How did you order a “blank” set?

edit: scratch that. I found it but I never saw it when I put in my initial order!

Dang, I’ve been busy.

Thank you all for your support.

The project is funded, and we are preparing the data for production.

Thanks for sharing - I’ve been curious about how things have been going. Sad to hear things fell through with the first manufacturer but very heartened to see not only that things are going well with the new one, but also at seeing how FK is handling the whole situation with responsibility and good faith. High-five on that.

I don’t even have an EC keeb yet and I’m still delighted to be in on this run. Definitely a breath of fresh air after the RAMA shenanigans… I’m happy to wait for these folks to get it as right as they feel they should, and glad they’re making the effort. I’m excited to see URSA in person, whenever it’s ready!

For anyone who didn’t catch the Livestream today, Andreas showed off production URSA caps, and they were magnificent. Here are a few screen grabs from the stream.

I blurred the chat intentionally. :sweat_smile:

Thank you for posting those images @Extra_Fox

Here’s a link to the recording of the stream. Unfortunately, I missed starting the recording at the beginning of the stream — sorry, not a pro streamer, and certainly skill issues :joy:

Here are photos of the boards I showed during the stream above. Enjoy!
The missing RF87U bottom left CTRL key issue has been addressed and is currently in production.

HHKB — beloved Evergreen

Leopold FC660C — best OOTB Topre experience

Leopold FC980C — bigger is better :smiley:

Realforce 87U — Good feeling of oneness with cup rubber.

By the end of the month I should receive samples for blanks :crossed_fingers:
Thank you all for your support and have a great weekend!
