Mmm, fried Scottish wine.

Diode Dynamics announced a new made-in-the-USA 8-switch panel that looks pretty cool. It ships in 8 weeks for $600. Not RGB mode, but it does have Android and iOS apps. The iOS app isn't on the App Store yet, understandably. CarPlay support would be nice. Garmin PowerSwitch (which I have) does...

I think the usual solution is to get/keep the cover you want, and buy the silver rails.
