Lattice Block Mount System by Mode:

We’re using Carbon’s DLS™ 3D Printing Process to develop an elastomeric lattice structure mounting block bringing you a novel mounting system so you can fine tune your typing experience to be as flexible or stiff as you want.

This is the same process used to create the Adidas Futurecraft 4D 3D-Printed mid-sole.

Our first lattice block mount utilizes Voronoi Lattice patterns to create an even, bouncy, and flexible typing experience. The solid block mount uses the same proprietary materials and printing process to produce a firmer, more responsive, yet still comfortable typing experience.

The whole system is secured by two fasteners that prevent the internal assembly from moving upwards but have no impact on downwards movement.

What color is mirage? Is it like a blue-grey? It's hard to tell from the pictures.

Yes, it's blue-grey. Very hard to tell. Same with the "Green".

It looks really nice and The new mounting style is tempting. But from the video on the lattice block mount it seems like you only position the PCB and plate on top of the blocks without anything securing the board to fall out of the case if you turn it on its head. Is that right? I have an O-Ring mount board and that is tightly squished into the case. Bit how does it work here?

Plate and PCB get secured via two screws to bottom of the case. Same screws also negate the force of upstroke when springy lattice mount is used.

Does the final shipping product include the case? In the alexotos video he said he believes it does. Can we get an official confirmation, please?

I really like the smokey poly-carbonate of their founders edition. Too bad it was only available through a raffle. Are there any other similar keyboards anywhere?

C0NIN t1_j693h3u wrote

Turns out they messed up and the Founders boards people received are NOT smokey, but the "normal" polycarbonate case; I think even the PCB was not a final product yet since it has only one row of underglow LEDs instead of the two that should have been present.

Wow that is an embarrassing mistake. They should just release it as a normal option.
