Dawn Founders Edition Raffle | Closed

I originally set out to design a premium 75% board, back when they weren't as commonly available as they are now, with an emphasis on the best possible typing experience and a minimal, symmetric aesthetic. I was surprised by the amount of interest that the board received after the initial interest check (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=102293.0), and although it's been a little over 2 years since then, I'm excited to finally launch the Dawn Founders Edition. It took 3 rounds of prototyping to make the design as refined as possible, but I'm quite happy with the results. This couldn't have been done without the support of MyKeyboard, and others who have helped out along the way. Also, big thanks to riotonthebay/Keycult for sharing the details to implement the isolation mount system for this design.

The Founders Edition is being manufactured by Salvun, and I'm aware that the price is quite high, but rather than delay any further we decided to continue with the limited release. The plan is to offer a higher quantity and more affordable GB edition of this board in the near future; however, the plans are not yet finalized. I appreciate the support of those who decide to join, especially those who have been following it for the last 2 years!
