Details of the JP-02

Arisu Layout (Alice, but with arrow keys)
Seamless design
Top/Burger Mounted
Typing angle of 5 degrees
Silicone gasket between plate and top case
3mm Felt Accoustic Dampener between plate and PCB
Uses a modified Arisu PCB by u/FateNozomi: The PCBs that will be sold with the JP-02 will have USB Type-C ports, full backspace compatibility, and stepped capslock compatibility

PCB Specs:

The color options are...

The bottom case will be beadblasted stainless steel/brass

Neither part will have a PVD coating, to allow natural maturation of the brass.
If you're not one of those who enjoys tarnish, you can easily remove the tarnish using either a combination of lemon juice + baking soda or a commercial metal cleaner such as Brasso.
Bottom cases will also be available seperately in both material options

Confirmed plate materials are brass and POM, and plate files will be open sourced following the groupbuy.
