NakedChineseThere isn’t a “chassis” being offered by $199, this price is for a fully functional premium mechanical keyboard that simply has no competitor. It is worth more than $199 if you ask me, the case is a premium machined piece of aluminum, beautifully anodized, programmable PCB, hot swappable, RGB underglow and per key illumination (both fully controllable), etc.
NakedChineseThe case is heavy metal and high profile, with pcb supporting qmk and rgb. Hot swap as well. Shop around and then $199 sounds pretty good. The keycaps sell after market 200 plus. Hako trues are a nice switch imo. Just wish there was a keycaps only option, as the keyboard feels like a forced upsale..seeing the base is available by itself, but I totally get the marketing.
