Why is it different from other boards: For it to be a reversible angle you have to over come the “issue” that if you put the USB C on the bottom of the case the port would have to face you, which is less than ideal. The solution is rather simple, just put the port on top of the case. Typically there isn’t enough room for that but because the Tilted40 rocks the Kickbutt buttowski headgear there is more than enough room.

You will be able to mix and match top and bottom colors how ever you would like in order to make your preferred combination

cnc’d FR4

Ever since I joined this hobby I have always wanted an cnc’d FR4 G10 board. Keep in mind FR4 is just the rating the material is G10. yes the same stuff that is used for pcb. It’s quite affordable at low moqs and has a good weight/sound.

Since I was able to achieve my own, why not share it with you. I will be running a small run of the FR4 boards that will have a lead time for 2 months and a price ranging about 160-170 for a whole kit. It will only be the WKL version and only support 7u and 313.

If you are interested in joining this please let me know in this form
There will likely be multiple rounds of the FR4 version given the short lead times that will run before and after the metal GB since its a good metal alternative and is much cheaper.

Protos:

I am currently only in possession of v1 protos, v2 are currently being made and should be done this upcoming week or the week after. With that being said v1 was a success in that it works, but that doesn’t mean things couldn’t be improved. Some changes made between v1 and v2 is that I added more tabs on the plate because the polycarbonate plate had too much flex and was cause a rattle also changed the acoustic cuts quite a bit, lastly I moved the USB port to align with the left column.
