So, I received confirmation that the Moondrop Dash75 is compatible with VIA! Moondrop is making a few more improvements to the Dash75 as well, so they'll provide an update to the launch date once complete. Linux compatible for those that asked.

Although the cnc'd cases are justifiably expensive, the pcb (with a stm32 or atmega microcontroller,hotswap sockets, diodes, transistors, etc look at the individual components and then check out digikey for bulk prices), stabs, keycaps, keyboard plate, foam, etc really shouldn't drive up the cost so much to charge 350+ usd prices even with 5+ COGS factor. Hell, even wooting's offering is cheaper and it uses hall effect and has decent software (which justifiably drives up the cost). I also doubt that most of these 'keyboard companies' have latency similar to let's say, a wooting 60he or a razer huntsman series keyboard.

This is some sure-handed execution on the part of Moondrop. The advantage of audio companies is they are used to developing and testing complex acoustic/mechanical devices which keyboards are at the end of the day. I wonder if this allows them to better prioritize their battles and deliver functional value. Also, being as the company's other products slant towards clear, treble-emphasized footprint, it's not surprising they deviated from some strong current keyboard trends to steer towards their preference. Integrated plate. . . but the potential case ping is offset by the PC bottom housing. And then all of the low-cost, high-reward tricks are well implemented in foam config, stabilizer spec/tune, factory switch lube, and even tape mod. My guess is they made a stiff, direct feeling board precisely because that's what they like. . . and then properly balanced all the other variables to deliver a great out-of-the-box experience. What a confident first step. This could potentially ruin a lot of keyboard enthusiasts to onboard audio or bad DAC's forever.

Speakers need an amp, and an amp needs an analog signal that speakers can 'understand.' That's where a DAC comes in. You're surrounded by audio DACs, whether you know it or not. Your smartphone has one, your TV has one, your PS4 controller has one, your car stereo [probably] has one, your AirPods (or whichever true-wireless buds you like) have _one for each ear,_ and so on. This video kinda made me wish I was ready for a new keyboard, but I'm not, and I already have a desktop headphone rig, but if I needed any one of these devices seperately right now, I'd seriously consider this keyboard.
