I've given my vote for the Smart 68 Keyboard too. But to be honest i don’t know if i would actually buy it, so let me explain.
I've voted, because i would like to give other people the chance to get this keyboard. I do like the concept of swappable cherry keys and led’s, this sounds like the next step of evolution for me. The new place for the function key is very well done, but the non alignment with the spacebar is aesthetically unpleasing for me.
First question here is, doesn't different led colors need different resistors. How is this handled, is it possible to use different led colors or rgb led’s controlled by software?
For someone like me, who has already tested and owned several mechas, my mind is set on clears and greens, no other keys will ever be needed for daily work or gaming, therefore key switching isn’t needed. Led switching is still nice, but we will get a couple of rgb mechas in the future, and i'm settled on a clean white backlight if needed at all.
Regarding the fact that you need to buy switches and led’s too, if you want backlight, i would rather buy a unique gon keyboard with lubed and stickered mx clears, modifiers mx green. This wouldn't be that much more expensive in the end, and the money needed for this keyboards is only reasonable for enthusiasts anyway.
But this is just me and i wish you good luck with this poll, i just wanted to share some thoughts i had.

MakamiI know my endgame MX board is an 1800 variant near 75% [lightsaver is still cool...] and I know my switches too. For me hot swapping will be for further experimenting with switches. Trying different weights and sliders as well as variable weight mx layouts.
