Not a fan of the design honestly. Don't really like these. Don't blame you me neither..i prefer the Tada68 layout.. and leopold FC660...both much more expensive alas. But looking at what people are doing with the GH60 amaizing.. nice builds on a budget..still you would have to solder.. or pay someo...

it's hard to say what the future will bring i don't have a "crystal ball".

I'm sorry to say that I haven't made any progress on true programmable firmware. The keyboard factory does have a key remapping tool that we've been trying to clean up for release for a little while.

I kind of feel strongly that Concept is King here. The Hermes Rocket didn't have a nav cluster or a numpad or a function row. This keycap set should remain small and compact, just like the Rocket. Basically, the set is aimed squarely at writers (and aspiring writers), not gamers or coders or spread...

i have never asked or wanted a low profile switch. For me thinner or RGB is not a need i associate with a keyboard for me. As i mentioned in my youtube comment the feel of a switch is key. Cherry should innovate and improve on that front. In my case a tactile lighter smoother mx-clear would be real ...
