GB is officially fulfilled as of September 2025. For those that are interested, there are a few extras available at some vendors and also from me. Just reach out if you're interersted to get your hands on one.
The PCB is designed by Hineybush and is a white colored edition of the H88 PCB. It comes pre-flashed with daughterboard + JST cable, has RGB underglow and is configurable with QMK and VIA. (The underglow can be configured to have both static and shifting colors).

The purpose with the project was to focus on desk aesthetics, as in how the keyboard looks standing on your desk (which it does 99% of the time). So the design choice behind the split corner weights is that they give the keyboard a nice side profile, adds weight and cost less to produce. Having one solid weight across the back would not only increase the price, but the keyboard would still look the same on your desk, and this is not where I wanted to go with the project. Instead, this money can be spent on the matching wrist rest which actually contributes to how the keyboard look and feels.
