Positive Feedback

  • Best board I've ever seen hands down. Big love, my hype for this is beyond anything else.
  • Design looks superb, like a fancy Satisfaction75.
  • 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.
  • The uniqueness of this is incredible. I'm very interested in the plate strength overall.
  • This is so refreshing. And unique. Love it.
  • This is insane. Just wow.
  • I'm in.
  • Take my money, this is fire.

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?
