o Weight: Clear Coated Brass and Aluminum weight color options (Black, Silver, Gray, Burgundy and Red)
- Top arrow cluster engraving: Hiragana or no engraving options
- Heft: 1.6kg (Alu Weight Configuration), 2.1kg (Brass Weight Configuration), 2.48kg built
- Adjusted Front Height(s) & Typing Angle:
- Supported Layouts:
Alu plate render
PC plate render
- Exploded View:
PhotosPrototype 1 Front with engraving (the engraving is optional)

Sales Info- Vendor: Mechkey
- Unit Total: 60
- Sales Format: FCFS (Google Form Format)
- Price:
o $400 for Alu weight config.

Timeline/To-Do- Revise current proto and order 2nd prototype
- Gather necessary feedback to gauge unit allocation, external aluminum weight color options, and sales format/pricing
- Send to Scuffed_Boards and LightningXI for review
- Start GB when all the above aspects have been finalized and I'm happy with the board's state. GB Late or Early November.
