Timeline:

• Group buy opens May 3rd at Noon CDT and closes on May 31st at midnight CDT
• My goal is to have these in customers hands by Q1 2022, but subject to change.

Where to buy:

• The GB will go live on www.Viktus.Design at the above time. The site is currently under construction and planned to open up right before the buy.
• I am accepting US and international orders and all will ship from me here in Texas.
• For international customers I am trying to setup DHL shipping as an option but it might not make it in time so USPS Priority Mail International might be the only thing setup.

Layout Support:

• ISO enter and left shift are supported on the PCB but not the included plate, I will make the plate files available later on after the buy to allow you to get custom ones made.

Build Streams:

• MechMerlin will be doing a build stream on his twitch April 29th.

• Alexotos will be doing a build stream on his twitch April 25th @ 1PM ET.

Special Thanks:

• OneCreativeMind for the amazing logos

• jrfhoutx for the pain in the ass firmware work that is ARM in QMK along with feedback.

• ai03 for your work initially designing the board.

• HamKenobi for the amazing pictures of the prototypes that grace this post.

• Emil for creating the idea and allowing us to have such a awesome board.

FAQ:

• Are you going to make it hotswap? No.

• Can you add knob support? No.

• Can you add a top left badge blocker? No.

• Can you release the files so I can 3D print it? No.

• Why is it this price? I don't use a ****ty manu to make my boards, so pricing is a bit higher initially but I trust the quality I get and that is what matters more imo. Also aluminum is about to hit the highest price in 10 years... That along with the mcu shortage driving up pcb prices is just the start of a new norm we have to deal with as designers/vendors and as a community as a whole.
