MGA v3 Polycarbonate Special Edition Online Hot Sale

MGA Standard is an Alice-layout keyboard case.

THIS IS A PRE-SALE PAGE FOR THE FULL KIT of Polycarbonate MGA v3. 

The special edition polycarbonate keyboard is the version 3 of the MGA standard project. 

This project was created by popular request. Due to the manufacturing cost of polycarbonate and unique design concerns with polycarbonate, this project is being launched as a dual pre-order rolling to in-stock upon release. Perks are being offered for pre-order participants. 

This case will accept some Alice PCBs currently available with a USB-C socket oriented underneath the PCB. Of the Sneakbox line of Alice PCBs, version 3 of MGA accepts M4 PCBs, as well as the new M5 PCB with a separate USB socket daughterboard.
