Welcome !
I had this project to
make a keyboard out of marble for a few
years and after finally making my own, I also want to leave
this opportunity to others.
Marble is not a common
material in the keyboard community, while it definitively
has its place on a desk, as a fancy and luxurious
material.
For that purpose, as MarbleK, we worked hard
to popularize marble wrist rests and we
released multiple series of marble wrist rests of different
colors: White/Black/Coral Pink/Green/Grey and more will
come.
We are here today, to announce the GB for a
limited 20 piecesof the
FirstSlab60.

Specs of the FirstSlab60:
-
60% tray mounted case, supporting the widely available DZ60 (from kdbfans and other local resellers)
-
Removable PCB mounts with rubber damper, to give some flex to this tray mount.
-
This case is made of one block of the well-known Italian Carrara marble. This mesmerizing marble is white with some grey veins.
-
Each piece will look unique thanks to randomness of this natural material.
-
This case has a typing angle of 5 degrees, with its silicon feet.
-
A heavy weight of 2.8kg (6.2 lbs.) for the case alone. Definitively, it will not move on your desk.
-
Price:*
FirstSlab60 Keyboard Case: 280USD
-
(optional) Carrara Marble Wrist Rest to fit perfectly the design and size of the keyboard case: 65USD (I also need to add +10USD for shipping because it is almost 1.5kg)
-
Shipping:
This item is quite heavy to ship, so it will be 45USD to USA/Canada/West Europe; 35USD to Asia Pacific; 75USD to Australia/NZ. Kindly note that DHL, will flag some remote area in these countries and bill me double, so I will need to check if I have doubts. -
FirstSlab60 Keyboard Case will include:*
The marble case (hopefully), the metal plate (stainless steel) + the metal feet (aluminum), the rubber damper on these feet, the silicone feet and a few small things.
Therefore, you will still need to get your DZ60 PCB, plate, switches, stabs. -
Shipping Date:*
As you can see later below, if we took a long time to prepare this GB, it is because we already did most of the work. We expect to ship all pieces in September! (yes, September 2021) -
Wrist Rest:*
This marble wrist rest is quite massive and will be almost 1.5kg!
A design to match the case and the same variety of marble:
-
GB set up:*
There will be a 24 hours registration window for raffle on 13th June, starting at 2pm GMT+1 (Paris) via a Google form.
On 14th June 2pm GMT+1, I will close the google form and send the Paypal Invoices to the ones who got a spot. -
FAQ:*
Here are some pre-answered questions that you may have: -
- How can we be sure this project will deliver without issues?*
It is true that some ambitious projects had issues or even failed. So to not have delays or worst, we already made the 20 marble cases:
-
- How can it survive the shipment?*
We now have extended experience in shipping marble wrist rests across the world, so we designed a well protected packaging for this marble keyboard case.
We even tested to ship from Taiwan to France, and the case arrived at destination without any damage or issue. -
- How does it sound when typing?*
We made a sound test typing video you can find here: -
- How does the colors of Carrara marble vary?*
From very white to white with strong grey veining.
You can see the strong grey veining in the photo below:
-
- I can’t think of any other question, do you have any?*
Special thanks to the ones who followed the IC, showed their interest for this project, it was quite a long run to arrive to this stage and we hope to keep going even further.
Thank you !
