Massdrop sent me a sample of this - keycaps and switches (MX Brown) arrive on Monday. On Monday or Tuesday I am going to do an assembly stream including soldering for anyone who has not soldered before! I've only soldered once before myself (a planck no less) so it will be noob friendly as I am myself not an expert!
Stream will be on twitch.tv/jamesbardolph

Is that a black or a gunmetal case?

hmm, isn't it a universal plate for MX and ALPS switches? AFAIK, this drop should have specific plate for each switch type. And slot head is awful.

The universal plate is on Jack's store, not this drop. The two separate plates in this drop supports both GRID and MIT layouts

my bad: mistaken MX with switch disassembly option cutout for combined ALPS+MX cutout.

It's great to see you in here, James! You have a cool collection already and it's nice to see people from other backgrounds (gaming, audio, whatever else) getting involved with the community over here, it's really quite diverse nowadays.
