Differences Between the Production Version and the Prototype Pictured above:
- Cerakoted finish on the aluminum plates.
- Plates will be laser cut and then the recesses with be milled to allow for completely square corners on all switch and stabilizer holes (the prototype was cut completely by CNC milling)
- PCB will be provided as part of the kit, so no hand wiring necessary! Designed my skullydazed. Will be running TMK, documentation can be found here: https://github.com/skullydazed/tmk_keyb ... onarch/doc
- Caps Lock and Number Lock LEDs
- Case design slightly modified to accommodate the PCB and the indicator LEDs.
- Additional mounting holes in the bottom plate compatible with GON's Aluminum Feet.
Available Colors:
The aluminum plates used for the top and bottom of the case will be finished using Cerakote which is a very tough and durable ceramic coating often used on firearms.
Three colors will be available for you to choose from including an option for just bare aluminum in case you want to finish the plates your own special way!

If the final order numbers are far below this target of 25 then I will most likely have to adjust pricing accordingly or cancel the buy.
