As for some relatively suggested ideas from a Vietnamese group concerned about the aesthetic of our product. We now have released the new and completely different keyboard even though it is still called
"ZODIAC" but not limited in "PISCES constellation" anymore. Instead, it will be a full optional collection for a total of
12 ZODIAC SIGNS. The bottom part is more solid, and the mounting style now will be "SANDWICH" with a better typing feeling than top mount (in my opinion).
----Some basic specs:
1 - Mount style: Sandwich with 1.5mm thich plate
2- Angle: 6.5 degree
3- Weight thickness: 2mm with alu as standard, could be upgrade to brass
4- Estimated weight: 2kg excluding keycap and switches
5-
PCB: 2 options for solderable and hot-swap with $10 different, type C, fullly compatible QMK
6- I will let
the first 15 people who purchase this keyboard have a chance to design their own symbols to be engraved into that weight (if they need) with a small extra cost.
7- Prototype expected: at the final week of Feb, 2020
8- GB expected: a month after prototype revealed
******For those who are still interested in our "UNIQUE PISCES", just wanna let you know that option will be still available in SANDWICH mount option. Therefore, it will be a bit different in term of GOTHIC font as in the pictures following by.

Hi fellows in Geekhack. I have just come up with an idea of creating my own collection instead of buying incessantly from others. Then the idea of “Zodiac” came to my mind since this topic to me is interesting. Then the first one apparently is my Zodiac Sign – Pisces.
The pictures below are my final design and the prototype has already made (even though it is my initial idea with a bit difference – as a reference for quality only)
