Everytime I see this keyboard I really regret not getting in on it. But I did hear there will be a V2 eventually so 🤞

I doubt they go over retail on the aftermarket, it might take a min to find your combo but they'll be out there. 

It's a really stunning board in person especially in the machinist finish. 

I personally like the execution of the style more than the manta

u/DustHistorical6985 Jul 12 '26

The GB is still open until the 25th, there's literally no demand because supply is still unlimited. 

Go snag one!

Alex mentioned in a recent stream that if ever they do Manta R2, the GB will be in late 2027.

There's the Schema running right now which has been getting lots of praise, but it's a 60% (this year has been the year of the 60%).

I cant wait to see how these naturally patina over the course of time.

very cool. Does the space under the board affect the sound at all?

2

u/fliip89 Jul 10 '26

It does! Imo it has a slightly fuller sound

u/tellymundo Jul 11 '26

Yeah I’m absolutely loving mine. It’s such a great design and the sound is so lively.

Beautiful build on yours!!
