Oxalis60 - A 60% integrated-plate mount keyboard - UPDATED price + colors

Update : Made changes to the design of the case, made sure it could be built with the added flex cuts. Made some new renders. I have also used the colors from GMK Olivia for the keycaps. If Olivia asks, I will remove them.

Update 2 : Received word from manufacturer. I can have any pantone colors with no added cost. Also I have updated the price of the board for the GB.

Update 3 : Have made renders of the most popular colors based on IC. Hope you like them!

Introduction
Hello! Update about my last post. I have made some changes to the design, more noticeably some flex cuts for the integrated plate and a logo on the weight. There are also a few minor changes related to some dimensions but they are not noticeable.

I am doing a 60% because I think it’s a simple design with a nice layouts. Yes there are a lot of these already but I felt like doing something that could stay a bit more affordable in the “quality” range. I went with a sharper design as I quite like the simple aesthetic.

The name comes from a plant more commonly known as Mountain woodsorrel. I like the flower quite a bit, so I named the keyboard after the flower’s genus. 60 comes from the fact that this is a 60% layout: How original of me.

What has been done:
• Plate and Weight design done, waiting on your feedback
• 3D printed a prototype to make sure everything aligns nicely. It does!
• PCB went through a production review. It is now finished and needs to be sent for QC check from manufacturer.
• Sent quotes to many manufacturers to see pricing.

What’s next? Get an aluminum prototype made and order another PCB sample. Also waiting on more color options from feedback
What am I doing now? Looking at packaging options and some materials to be bought.

I lost the video on my PC which is why I'm posting this link. Sorry.
Obviously the sound will be different for the aluminum prototype, but am hopeful it will sound nice thanks to the flex cuts and dampening foam.
