Hi all! My name is Leonardo and I want to do my first group
buy for a custom milled case for the Kyria from splitkb.com.
I am in no way affiliated with splitkb.com.
I stumbled
upon the aluminum milled IMK casing for the Corne keyboard.
Because I like the Kyria layout more I want to create the
same casing for this keyboard. I contacted a local company
and they want to help prototyping the case and have given
price estimates that seem reasonable starting from 50
units.
The current pricing for 50 units would be a
little under 250 euro’s per unit within taxes and could drop
to 200 euro if more units are ordered. Please let me know if
you are interested so I can determine if this is something
that can be made.
I am based in the Netherlands and do
not know what shipping would cost to i.e. the United States.
More details will be worked out if there is enough
interest.
Some questions answered based on reactions
Quote can you post at least a render first? that way,
people will consider to join it.
To be honest, I am
unable to create this myself. However I have contacted a
local company for milling the cases and they are willing to
create to drawings and a prototype for the case. If the GB
does fire because there is enough interest I will contact
all participants to make sure all is created in a way that
everybody wants.
Quote IMK or to be more precise,
imkulio, is the handle name of a designer…(I’m not going to
ring them up and bother them at this point) It would
literally be false advertising to state YOUR design as
otherwise.
My choice as to name the IMK case is
precisely because that case is created by /u/imkulio. I
think that he deserves credit for the idea and creating a
milled aluminum case with acrylic bottom is not something
that is patented. However I do not want to take credit for
ideas that someone else came up with - especially since I am
new here. So thats why I put that in the name of the
post.
Quote Have you contacted the creator of the Kyria
keyboard (Thomas Baart) about this?
Yes, I have
contacted him and spoke about possibilities of collaboration
on this project. For now no collaboration is taking place, I
am doing this on my own because I would like such a case and
prices for a single unit are to high (approximately 1000
euro).
