Hello there,
I’m Luigi and I’m Italian, I apologize in advance if there’s something wrong with my English.
My intention was to create a 65% with a unique layout.We can define it as a cross between a HHKB and CA66.Initially, during the design phase; I always wanted the plate to be an aesthetic part of the keyboard.Unfortunately I realized that using the plate in the way I wanted was not possible, or at least possible, but the gasket system would have been useless; so I thought I'd cut the plate to make a border that would be a decoration all around the keyboard.The plate will be positioned on the gasket, both on the top and on the botton and enclosed in the case.

ABOUT L7
The name does not have a particular story, L is the first letter of my name (Luigi) and since the keyboard has 66 keys I rounded up to 7.The idea of lightning on the top came to me while I was working on the PCB logo, in fact if you look at the picture of the logo on the PCB in the middle between the letter L and the number 7 lightning is formed.

there are really a lot of pieces, this thing is going to be expensive. Do you already have a quotation?

No, I don't know anything about the price yet, the IC is doing quite well and most likely next week I can start having Salvun produce the first prototypes.

As soon as I have updates, I will update the IC.
