- Best board I've ever seen hands down. Big love, my hype for this is beyond anything else.

- Looks awesome! That bottom is wild.
- Sick bottom design. Good luck!
- Absolute stunner, I'm gonna need to get on this for sure.
- This thing is nuts. Insane hype.
- This looks beautiful. I'm not a fan of the 1.5u right shift, though.

- This is insane. Just wow.
- I'm in.

Negative Feedback
- I would be really worried about the plate bending just from normal use since it seems to be so thin.
- The 1.5 shift is a bummer, but the design makes up for it.
- I'm not sure if there will be a big adjustment on my part.
- Looks like it's gonna be way out of my price range.
- I can only say that this looks incredible and I wish I could afford one.
- I did not notice this at first! Though admittedly, I am not mad at the idea.
- I'm wondering the same thing, idk if there is even a 1.5u shift in 40s kits.
Suggestions
- Maybe you can consider shifting the bottom row to the left so you can use 2u left shift.
- Consider ISO in your PCB and Plate.
- An alternative to the generative baseplate would be to have a generative design elsewhere in the board.
Common Questions
- Will keeping my eye out for this.
- How will it affect sound if the bottom is open?
- Can you define the order in which the plate is 'solved' by the generative algorithm?
- Is there expected flex in the plate due to its structure?
