Hello,
This is Kevin Lim from KLC.
Today, I drafted the next Geekhack IC for the “Monte Bianco”, a TKL keyboard designed by Syryan.
Syryan is a designer who has been in this field since the early 2010s. He introduced the EM series (e.g. the EM-7) and participated with Lin in a project to design the Dolphin.
Now, he is ready to say hello to the keyboard world with his new TKL project, ‘Monte Bianco’
Monte Bianco offers 3 colors

Monte Bianco offers a double gasket-mounting method, for which individuals can choose their preferred hardness for the gaskets.
Also, we will also include switch dampeners in the package.
Mid switch dampener – goes between switch housings.
Lower switch dampener – goes under the switch bottom housing.
Both of which you can choose to apply for extra dampening and a different typing experience.

The GB will be held through the KLC website and will be an unlimited unit GB.
