thanks for pointing that out, I noticed there is also an interest check for a 60%-Alps board going on:

interesting but the other one is backed by Matias so that seem more reliable, I like 60% better than TKL though...

The caps are sphericals in a space-cadet inspired colour scheme, and I hope they will do blanks too.... (if anyone else is interested in such an option, please let them now...)
