Why I Love Prototype Runs and Helping Keyboard Designers
The Migra TKL Prototype by Thebloodyez “This is my keyboard. There are many like it, but this one is mine.” - William H. Rupertus. In another life, if Major General William H. Rupertus, the Marine who coined the United States Marine Creed, had been a keyboard enthusiast, we might've gotten this line instead. All joking aside, this has been an article that I’ve wanted to write for quite some time. There are many reasons why we love the keyboard hobby, and today, I wanted to introduce you to one of mine—prototype keyboards and helping keyboard designers by joining prototype runs. Now, it’s not risk-free, and one should weigh the pros and cons of joining a prototype run, so I encourage you to pay attention to the disclaimer portion of this article. I know that there are prototype runs for keycaps, switches, and other cool things in our keyboard hobby, but for this article, I’ll be focusing only on keyboards. Also, please know that not every prototype run will be handled...

- You should make the plaque optional (removable)
- Pack it with a 2$ 2 pin power cable so that it can be used to externally power the PC on (and maybe another 2pin if needed to power up the LED so that you dont even need the batteries??) This needs a design change of the bottom and a couple wires running through the tower to connect to the switch pin which in material should not be much more cost (i can not talk about manufacturing though) but add SO MUCH MORE VALUE to the piece.
As of right now, and until those problems are resolved, i can not recomend this for the price, i am sorry.
