Are we calling this the new Official Tekin RX8 Gen3 thread?

Really excited about this release, which seems more like a thoughtful evolution than some pie-in-the-sky revolution. I'm fine with the polycarbonate case, but am hoping that the upper cover is from a better thermoset material that can withstand a few kisses from a soldering iron. The new posts should help, but their size and the gauge of my wire always had me on the posts longer than I would have liked resulting in some nibbling of the plastic.

It would be nice if the switch could be removed cleanly without having the cut it off altogether. Perhaps an easy to access solder pad where you pop a cover off and desolder a few leads and then solder a bridge over them for an always-on approach.

Can't wait to try this out!
