3. Explanation of the options - The color options are fixed for Sandglass Ergo. It is one of the more niche kits we developed so we want to make the GB simpler.
- It does not include a brass weight because it is already heavy enough. It's even heavier than all our previous kits except for the full brass ones.
- Solder PCBs with ALPS support are not available in this run but will be available in the future.
- The hot-swappable PCB is 1.2mm thick. It uses QMK or VIA firmware. Surface mount white color LEDs are pre-soldered. The layout of the PCB is shown below.
- The carbon fiber wrist-rest is canceled in this GB due to the difficulties in quality control.
4. What's the price? Each kit is 525 USD during the GB.
The shipping fee is $85 for each kit for most countries.
The shipping weight is around 6 kg / 13 pounds for each kit with packing.
Buying multiple kits in one order does not reduce your shipping fee.
5. Timeline and limits The GB starts from 05-18-2022 at 10 PM ET.
It will open for 7 days unless the number of orders is getting too big. A soft top limit is 400 kits in total.
I do not expect it to be reached. It's the number we can handle in a reasonable time. The expected lead time is 3 months.
