________________________________________________________________

Bear65 is my first alice-like keyboard, and we've been through and experienced many issues,

which caused several delays on the manufacturing and shipping. Bear65 could have been

a better keyboard,thus we decided to improve on the basics of V1 and make this V2 of Bear65.

The improvements of V2 on top of V1 are:

1. Optimization on the overall visual design: V1 design felt a bit asymmetric to right, therefore,

this time we've adjusted how the curve looks to make the Bear65 V2 look more symmetric

2. Two layout options,the new layout thanks to my clients@slazareth inspire by him, There are slight adjustment and optimization on the gaps of the layout,

to make more natural and reasonable movement of the fingers

3.Daughterboard for PCB and Leaf Spring cut plate

4.Lower the front height (19mm)

Groupbuy time :June or july (TBD)

Some words here :

Also apologize to previous group buy customers: it took much longer than expected for us to ship the board to you,

where there were unexpected things happened every time we did GB for the past two years. We know the uncertainty of the GB,

and we've always been facing those with positive atitude. We tried to keep good communication and didn't compromise on the quality.

Really appreciate all of your understanding and patience.We will be trying to achieve more certain lead time for the shipment,

and more steady progress and consistent quality of the manufacturing. We'd hope Bear65 V2 will show these improvement.

(To appreciate people who supported me for the whole time, each GB customer will be gifted a rose gold alul keycap this time!)

The lead time this time would be 5 months for the start of shipping, which could be shorter or longer depending situations.

If there are any questions, we'd update here and also in our Discord server. If you'd like to get answers for your questions,

join us at our discord server, including any questions regarding GB or customer service.
