Thank You
Hira70 has developed and improved over the year, almost being 2 years since i started working on this project. There have been multiple versions of this IC, This being the latest version.
I’ve put effort in improving renders, design, changing manufacturers and what’s most important is the feedback. The entire project has been evolving as my design skills improve,
i make changes and care how the user will view this board. I have made some changes and added additional colour after doing a poll in the discord.
After changing 3 manufacturers and Prototyping 3 different version of the Hira70.
I am extremely proud and confident to do a group buy for the Hira70, letting others enjoy the typing experience and aesthetics of this board.
All the support that I’ve gotten from my friends and people in the discord has deeply motivated me to carry on developing this. Thank you reading my Interest Check for the Hira70.
