The PLA75 R2 update includes minor design alterations such as increased front height, expanded relief cuts, and adjustments for better keycap aesthetics. Assembly becomes easier with larger screw holes and friction-fit nut slots. The target price for a full kit remains at $185, with an aim for a launch within a month.
