      Sorry to burst your bubble here, but they have also updated some time ago that qmk/via compatibility is unlikely for existing boards as it’s too much work to get it compatible. It’s more likely for them to release qmk/via compatible boards as new releases in late 2021

    Thank you for the great video! I was contemplating on a K2 vs. K6 but was worried about painting aluminum and this seals the deal since my entire desktop is white themed and this was the only keyboard that offered bluetooth so I can use it for both my work laptop + personal desktop. I agree with you, while there are many great custom keyboards out there, they need to start adding bluetooth to their keyboards so people can use one keyboard for all. :)

    For those that may be curious, I always spray paint my tech with, and subsequently recommend, both the Montana Gold and Black spray can lines. Both are grounded in the graffiti and pro art world. In the US, visit your local art store, online shops, or, for some folks, your local Michael's craft chain store may carry (an extremely limited) stock.

    Once this can be programmed with qmk/via they will fly off shelves as a cheap, easy, base mech keeb that people can afford and do a bunch of simple mods to customize. Honestly if it's programmable it might even kill the Drop Alt sales. Good thing they learned from their first round of keyboards cause those were just hot garbage. Especially with the flat bottom case design. Glad you called them out for it. Their marketing scheme is very influencer based.

    I truly hate that key labeling where for example the "/" key that gets shifted to "?" code is just labeled "/ ?" I want an old school labeling where the shifted code is towards the upper left and the un-shifted key is as close to the centre of the keycap as possible. Is there a name for this new type of labeling that I can use as a filter to NOT show me keycap sets that are that way. I love the acrylic with black top pudding keys but I can't find any that DO NOT use this new style of labeling. I bought a Logitech K845 104 key backlit keyboard before I noticed that it has the new style of labeling. the K845 comes with Cherry MX Blue switches so I just have to find a keycap set that I like. The keyboard cost me under $100 CAD so a $50 CAD keycap set won't be an issue.
