I’m interested in buying the raise 2 as an hybrid for gaming and typing, but have you considered adding analog switches as an option ? Also it’s a bit unfortunate french keycaps aren’t available for the raise 2
There are more switches than red blue and brown dayum I never though there were other kind of switches also
Will you be selling the custom switches on your website separately to the board like you do with your other switches in the future?
