Special thanks to

• Elaine for Unikorn. Allowed me to publish the Unikorn-inspired case as open source and encouraged me
• Of course, I also show my respect and gratitude to yuktsi
• coarse for PCB review and kind support. His great work has refined the PCB well

Also I should mention

• OTD for 356 Mini. Origin of O-ring gasket mount style
• Evy for Plain60 series. I used it as a reference for my PCB design. They also answered my miscellaneous questions
• ai03 for MX_Alps_Hybrid. Also got a lot of help from his discord server
• overset for JP01. The idea of publishing the case design on Onshape. After seeing their great work I switched from fusion360 to Onshape
• Rhuk gave me a lot of advice on keyboard design and manufacturing
• Maker Keyboards suggested adding a plate cutout to remove the PCB using a keycap puller
• And many community members for giving me advice and feedback, thanks!
