➊ intro
This project exists as a piece of referential design and
an amalgamation of features from my favorite custom
keyboards (namely the OTD Koala + TGR Jane V2), condensed
into my two preferred layouts. The principle aim was to
merge these classic design elements with modern features
and provide a level of modularity and customization to
suit the end users typing preferences. This includes an
individualized injection-molded gasket mount, seamless
enclosure design and hidden cable routing amongst a bevy
of other features.

➌ quantities
(Note: As a Discord specific presale has taken place in
mid-August, production of all boards has already begun in
order to expedite the production window. The true final
count of each layout are listed to the right of each
available quantity. All units unaccounted for will be sold
as in-stock items post fulfillment.)

➎ add-ons:
As modularity is an important part of this project, I’m
offering a handful of easily swappable pieces as selected
by my Discord community. All items ship inside the top
pocket of the included hard-case with no additional
shipping charge. Following the completion of your board
purchase, add-ons will be made in a separate order and the
two will be merged together for streamlined
fulfillment.
Groupbuy add-ons: Polycarbonate plate (Full/Half),
aluminum plate (Full/Half), brushed stainless steel
bottom plate, matte carbon-fiber bottom plate,
additional gaskets (60A/40A/20A), additional
PCBs
Post-groupbuy add-ons: Additional plate
types(Fr4/POM/Polypropylene), plateless adapter,
alternate weights with different engravings
(EURA
collaboration), fixed cable accent piece
(Coaxius
collaboration), different contrast bottom plates, wrist-rests, desk
mat.
➏ production + fulfillment
All units are produced and finished by Dadesin (DDS) and
fulfilled by a Shenzhen based fulfillment center in order
to avoid sea freight. If COVID restrictions permit, our
team will QC and SKU all components collaboratively
alongside DDS to ensure a rigorous quality standard before
they are packed. In the event that travel limitations have
not been lifted by the end of the production window a
third-party, hobby savvy control team will ensure our
quality standards are met and your order arrives
accurately from Shenzhen.
Production has been prepaid
for the entirety of this project via a private presale and
my own personal investment. As of the day of this posting
(11/12) production has been under
way on all non-variable components (case bottoms, weights,
bottom panels) for the better half of two months.
Fulfillment will be split up into multiple sequences as
described below:
(Note: Despite all steps being taken to mitigate
production, there’s always a potential for delay as with
any groupbuy.)
Sequence One: Presale units + first
groupbuy orders - Mid-April/Early May
Sequence Two:
Extras + In Stock following groupbuy fulfillment
➐ project log
All logs and significant updates will be posted
within this format to ensure transparency:
Update No. 1 - Refinements and Revisions (August 19th,
2021)
Update No. 2 - Production Photos (November 9th, 2021)
➑ FAQ
Can I buy more than one board?
Yes. As the TKL and 60 groupbuys occur on differing
dates, I consider these two separate purchases and allow
for one TKL and one 60. For fulfillment sake I cannot
combine two boards into the same shipment.
Will plate files be made public?
Yes.
Can I get _
feature/color/finishing/engravings?
Beyond what is listed youre free to contact me for
commission services, otherwise no.
Whats with your name?
This is a moniker Ive used throughout various creative
endeavors. Theres no deeper meaning.
This looks like _, this is a clone!
Call it what you want, Im indifferent to rectangle
politics.
Will there be an R2?
No. While making this has been a blast, I’m quite eager
to introduce other projects I’m working on.
What happened to the polycarbonate version of this
project?
As some might remember this started out some time ago as
a polycarbonate project with a much simpler case design.
Unhappy with my previous manufacturers QC and
communication I used this opportunity to redesign this
entirely to integrate a bunch of features while retaining
the same case shape and mounting style. I plan on
revisiting polycarbonate in the future, though no official
date has been set.
Why is this expensive?
This is understandably one of the most asked questions
since starting this project. From a fabrication and
logistics perspective this project utilizes a generous
amount of stock material, a relatively low unit count when
considering there are three different models offered,
complex internal machining, a very competent manufacturer,
a secondary manufacturing process for the mounting style
and a fulfillment process responsible for 35 different SKU
variations.
