Update 3

The backplate will have a very slightly different shape, because the bottom piece is reshaped, to remove the need for screws

How does/would the signature backplate look like ? I've selected just Kello for now, but I might be inclined to switch to the signature Kello if it looks nice (and if it is still possible ).

It should look exactly as the regular only with laser engraved signatures by the tohkbd team (dirk, kimmo and andrew).

From the 7th update:
Can I change my address or preferences after?
Yes. You can change your address via Kickstarter. If you want to change something else because, mail this to info@funkyotherhalf.com. Please only use this for changing important things (e.g. you picked the wrong layout) and not for changing the colours to the latest fashion. Changing preferences will be possible up to the point the part in question is ordered.

these will be on next test pcb for keyboard piece.
As long as we don't have a repeat of the Jolla battery pins scenario where the surface area in contact with the battery pin was too small to be reliable (which caused the phone to crash at inopportune moments).

Perhaps using 'flat head' pogo pins with rounded corners is preferable (has a more reliable contact) to 'pointed head' pogo pins?

Personally I would have preferred a standard polished backplate instead of any of the wood/vinyl backplates offered, but I know it's too late for that, and I understand we can't have all the options we want otherwise the scope would be too large and the project never-ending.
