Description

Hello, friends of Geekhack,

We are excited to start the Group buy for G60. G60 is a retro-style USB/Bluetooth Dual Mode Keyboard designed by Scott from the Basic I/O Instruments (BIOI). After obtaining feedback from the GH community in a previous IC, a successful trial run private GB, and a recent interest check, Scott has optimized many fine details, and we believe G60 warrants a full run at GH.
