Great progress. Really sad that didnt order way back when started following this. Now would need to wait atleast until end of May. Curse my slow decision 😀

In reply to G.Y.. Good piont, guys! We'd like to provide a carrying case eventually, but only after delivering the preorders.

Not DIY, but for matters of transportation I currently use a sleeve designed for tenkeyless keyboards. The UHK will not fit inside a 60% due to the bridge overhead.

My current issue with it is that the bridge cable is prone to deformation when the halves are merged while inside the sleeve, and I'm not comfortable removing the bridge cable since the locking pin tabs look just as fragile as those of ethernet cables...

I do plan to look for a dedicated bag, and maybe purchase a 4P4C coupler to store the bridge cable during transport if necessary.

The keyboards really look great. Happy to see a few posts here and on facebook from people who seem to be enjoying their keyboards so far. Can't wait to finally get my hands on one. The thing I'm curious about to hear from people is if anyone comes up with a simple clever "carrying case" or something for their UHK. I think I'll probably plan to bring the keyboard back and forth to work and home and want the keyboard to be nice and safe in my bag.

In reply to Patrick. We made one or two palm rest prototypes with graphite color, and weren't satisfied with the results. Maybe we'll give it a try later, but not anytime soon, because it'll take quite some time to get it right, and we're very busy with other things nowadays.

There was talk about a darker grey colored stain for the palm rest at some point I thought. Is there still thought about this?

In reply to Hongyi. We'd like to use switch sockets in the future, but it'll require a redesign.

In reply to Hongyi. Sorry, but we can't make this happen. This might seem easy, but it's an exception from a mass production standpoint which is difficult to take care of.

Even better, if you can have a version with modular key switches design such as the Glorious Modular Mechanical Gaming Keyboard (https://www.amazon.com/Glorious-Modular-Mechanical-Gaming-Keyboard/dp/B01D8YNJH0), it would be even better!

Maybe you would consider that in the far future (to build THE ULTIMATE hacking keyboard).
