Oh, this looks nice. WKL 60% has really moved up on my favorite layouts to be tied with 65% and mx hhkb. Been really curious to try a gasket mount board.
…Damn. Well, depending on how much the polycarbonate is, I may very well end up with an endgame board from KBDFans of all places. Oh, who am I kidding, I want the purple to go with JTK PoW!
Oh, and when it comes to half plates? It essentially gives you the benefit of plateless builds while still having stability at the edges of the board. Being a gasket mount and having an intentionally flexible PCB gives you a plateless typing experience while having a plate for the modifiers and spacebar, allowing for a stable spacebar and mods while the alphas have a gentle amount of give. If you like typing on plateless boards, you’ll like typing on this - but if you prefer the more “solid” feeling of a full plate, then there’s no problem with going for what you already know and love.
My main concern is if there’s weights other than brass - not a big fan of the look of brass weights, really. If I could get a silvery/space grey aluminum weight, I’d really like that and it’d pretty much be an instant sell (along with the first premium custom i’d get)
I think blue grey will work great. My plan is for a blue grey top and rose gold bottom. If we don’t get to choose top and bottom…well I might have to just get one of each. lol
This board is scheduled to ship around Chinese New Year which I think is January 25th, hopefully before since nothing will get done for two to three weeks after.
Ai03 just posted in his discord that no boards will be shipping until after cny for a few reasons, one being that they didn’t want to rush the packaging and two there are some issues with the clear finish brass parts
I also wish he had a navy blue or option to go along with bento
