Description

Dango40

A Sweet 40%

Hey guys, I hope everyone’s day is going well!

We’ve been working hard to get this prototype just right, I initially started this project back in June of last year so I’m glad it’s progressed this far and for all the people that are interested in this board and have posted questions on older IC’s and my discord. This board is was inspired by the hanami dango, keeping it small and simple yet looking good I knew that a 40% would be perfect to fit the look I wanted to create. The manufacturing was done here in the USA by CadLab CNC a local machinist with loads of talent and care for the small details when it comes to metalworking, we took care of using the best metals when working with this board so you have a high-quality board in your hand when you receive it.

I had the idea come to me to offer a limited run for this dango cap that you can add to your order,
I really want to do it in brass to match the whole theme but I might also offer it in some different styles like resin or aluminum
with some nice art drawn on it. So far this is only an idea but one I really want to produce that will come out with the board!

::: FAQ :::

Q. When is the groupbuy date?
A. Theres no current date as of yet.

Q. How many boards will be made?
A. I'm looking to make sure that the amount of boards made isn't too high, so it will be on a FCFS basis.

Q. Will there be Ortho?
A. I didn't think of ortho when making the board so currently there will be no ortho support, maybe in a R2 I'll add support if there is a majority that would like it.

Q. Will there be hotswap?
A. I wanted to stick to the roots on this board and solder was the way to go, I feel like there are a lot of people that appreciate
the effort that goes into soldering your own board and it's something that I wanted to fulfill when building this board.
