Big news! We just found the way to reduce the cost of the board itself, special thanks to everyone! We planned to run the unlimited group buy with Absolute65 with various color options, so you can mix and match your style, hope you guys enjoy it! However, at this price we still restraint our margin as same as before, about 10%

Kit includes

1. Keyboard Kit2. 1 PCB3. 1 Plate4. Poron Gaskets5. 30A O-Ring6. JST Daughter board + Wire7. Necessary Screws
There won't be the case foam / PE Foam / Plate foam in the kit. We designed the board the way that it doesn't really need any foam to enhance the acoustic. We make sure that the sound is sharp, full, and on the louder side to make sure that even the Hyperglide Blacks are still have the sharp, well-pronounced, and full spectrum of sound. But if you guys want to the foam in the kit, don't forget to suggest those feedback in IC form.
