Non-Keyboard Questions
When will this keyboard go on sale?
For an active project or one in preparation, this is written in the product page, IC/GB thread, or similar specific to the product. Please check such sources. If the group buy has occurred in the past and is already completed, the board will not go on sale ag...

Will this MX-specific keyboard support Alps switches?
No; if an option to support another switch is not sold as an official variant or addon kit, the board likely has some constraint (USB position, physical dimension conflict, etc.) which renders it incompatible with another.

Will you add per-key RGB to this?
Unless clearly stated otherwise, no. I'm not a fan of RGB to begin with, so I cannot motivate myself enough to carry through with a per-key RGB board.
Can I buy your prototypes?
No; the prototypes are usually kept for future research purposes.
Will there be another round or batch of this?
Not unless otherwise stated.
Will you film a typing test for this?
No. Three reasons: Sound varies significantly depending on parts, environment, desk material, etc. My personal builds tend to sound miserable. I do not have proper recording equipment capable of making it happen.
Could you tell me what factory you use to produce your cases?
No; such information is usually kept confidential.
Will there be extras for this?
If the project is a group buy, usually there is a margin ordered for replacement parts and B-stock units. If any are left following GB conclusion and replacements, they will be placed on sale as extras. However, this is not guaranteed whatsoever, and there ar...

Will this be available in another material?
Not unless otherwise stated. Usually each project is designed specifically for a certain material, and either costs too much to produce or is too structurally fragile with another.
Will there be a polycarbonate version of this case?
→ Will this be available in another material?
Can I swap part of this keyboard with another?
Not unless clearly noted otherwise. I design each keyboard so that they work ideally with the original set of parts. The shape and structure of each part may differ significantly compared to other boards; I do not guarantee compatibility with anything else u...

Can I install hotswap sockets/Mill-Max sockets/Holtites into this keyboard PCB?
I do not support this whatsoever, for each PCB is designed specifically to support their intended use only. If doing so, it will be completely at your own risk; I will not take any responsibility whatsoever if it fails, nor will I refund or replace parts for...
