I am going out on limb and guess they'll swap processors, since that is one of bigger complaints from the QMK community, and possibly part of the reason it takes a long time to update the Drop Configurator. The PCB is sort of messy when trying to trace one point to another for the average hobbyist without some college or job expertise, so tidying up the PCB has been another complaint that I read a lot, though I am unsure if they really care about. Some have wanted only south facing LCDs, or a choice. The ability to use PCB mount stabs, and of course PCB mount switches are the two biggest changes I see, as rattly stabs and the inability to use higher dollar switches is probably the bigger turn offs for those who decide not to buy Drop drivers.
For me, I would be happy with better stabs stability and the ability to use 5 pin switches without destroying 100 dollars worth of switches. I think the Alt is really good otherwise for its price. Drop always has the best looking cases that are consistent without issues. I don't know who they get to do their CNC milling, but they do a good job in my opinion.

Ah, right. I see no reason we wouldn't offer them eventually, but no ETA that I can provide right now.

I am in the exact same situation as you. I've been hoping they would release a high profile case in black or grey

Is there gonna be a black or space gray color option for the case? I want to buy a high profile black case for my Alt, but that doesn't seem like its an option without buying the PCB as well

Oh wow, this is beautiful. As someone who has been considering getting an ALT, I wish that there was an option to just purchase the complete board in this new color right out of the box, or that ALT PCBs were offered separately as well.
Seriously, this case is way more attractive to me than the stock black and space grey options. Any chance we could see a barebones option in this color one day?

Corvus917Thanks for asking... Didn't see any mention of pcb, etc so I wasn't sure who this was exactly geared towards. Sounds like it's worth getting now for the double points and waiting for the standalone pcb, etc pieces to be available later.
I'm pairing this with some mizu caps that get released later this year!!

Does the low profile ALT keyboard allow me to remove and fit it into this high profile ALT case?

Will the diffuser add-on necessary for the PCB be available to purchase anytime soon?

G'day, I was just wondering if you guys plan to release these cases in Space Grey or a silver at any point? And when this might be happening? I'm really hanging out for this!!!
I'm tempted to buy the barebones kit but I can't justify the extra $80 for a PCB that I doubt I'll use :(
Thanks in advance!!!
