Introduction
Hi, my name is
DoctorNunu founder of Masterworks. And this is my latest
creation:
I created this board for the people riding their
penny-farthing to work every morning. The ones wearing a
tophat when they’re eating pizza.

Updates
2020-04-23 (Creation of post) First
prototype is ordered and I should receive it by the end of
next month.
2020-04-24 Added layout
options, made decision on the plates; Fixed ANSI and ISO
options.
The moustache weight will not be changed.
The
Beige colour was very appreciated, I will try to make this
happen.
I will do some changes to the mounting
situation of the plate , to get a more even typing feel.
2020-04-27
Tried some different logo variants, found one I really
liked. I have added a form for voting.
2020-04-28
After reading the poll results I came to the decision that
the Martini logo will be used.
Decided on colours based
on the first form.
2020-05-02
- Received the feet & daughterboards. PCB’s are ordered, gaskets are ordered, plate foam is ordered.
- I have made a design for the custom packaging, hopefully I can get a good price so that this doesn’t affect the GB price.
- The beige color won’t be made unfortunately, as the price cost was too high and the risk for imperfections is high. If there will be a R2 this will definitely be reconsidered though.
- Changed the mounting a bit for better typing feel. Gasket is now added aswell.
- Created a discord server for discussions.
- IC Forms are now closed. PCB’s are received and QMK ready, will be mapping to VIA in a near future.
2020-06-06
- Received the prototype, built it up, sent it to Koen Romers for photographing.
- Very happy with how it turned out, I have to do some adjustments on the height as I wasn’t satisfied with how the keycaps sat.
- Gasket will be removed, the idea I had in mind did not work as intended, it sounded better with the regular top mount.
- Only brass weight will be available for GB.
- Type test uploaded by Koen Romers.
- Custom packaging approved, feet approved, daughterboard approved, pcb approved, plate foam approved.
- Ordering second prototype ASAP, GB will start when the second prototype is approved, and my website is up.
- Adjusting the mounting a bit for a better experience.
2020-07-04
- Deskmat designs are finalized, collaboration with @Lastpadawan
- Deskmats will be sold as an unlimited GB and will have proxies.
- Expecting the final Classy TKL prototype to arrive next week.
2020-08-05
A month has passed since I
last updated you guys (Other than the Discord server). First
of all, sorry for that. Second of all, I’ve had a ton of
work
to do. Including; setting up the website, working
with logistics, payment processing, writing privacy policies
etc. As the aim still is to release the board at the end of
this month
I still need to work hard to get there in
time, I don’t want to announce the date too late so you come
prepared. Since you are probably not that interested in
knowing
about that kind of work, I’ll keep it short.
Here’s some updates on the parts you probably are interested
in:
- I have received the final prototype and shipped it to Koen Romers for photographing and assembly on his stream (more on that in a few days).
- The deskmat designs are finalized and prototypes are ordered, as soon as they arrive and confirmed we will be ready to start off that GB.
- Deskmats will be an unlimited GB through vendors on all continents, and will open before the Classy TKL GB is launched.
- Updated the technical information above with accurate information. New pictures for all parts will be posted soon.
- Website almost finished, join the Discord servers for some updates on that.
-
LastPadawan has officially joined the Masterworks team! He
has been amazing to work with, and I wouldn’t have come
this far this fast without him.
We have been working together on the website for the past weeks, and we will keep working together on future projects and releases.
That’s all I’ve got for you now, I’ll make sure to get back to you soon. Thanks again for all your support, critique and your patience.
