Hey everyone!
With the custom keyboard market
increasing and the amount of keyboards we own become more
and more alarming I noticed that there aren’t too many
premium options for a keyboard stand. Surely our expensive
keyboards deserve some exciting stands to call home
I’ve
been working on this for a while now but I’ve never seen a
premium looking stand that tickles my eyeballs. So hey this
is my first prototype in the flesh after a few weeks of
design.
I think the final product will be a little
different but I wanted to run an IC to see who would be
interested in a more premium, cleaner and aesthetic design
that isn’t in your face and just shows you the beauty of
your keyboard

I wanted to take a few things into consideration when
designing this:
Levitate - I wanted to
make the keyboard seem like they’re just floating. Obviously
with the rules of physics around there’s some restrictions
but I just wanted the main focus to be the keyboard and
nothing else
Clutter free - Lots of
the other stands that I’ve seen have too many parts that
make it difficult on the eyes. Screws, nuts, bolts etc. I
wanted something that could be put together tool-lessly and
all the while looking clean
Premium -
Sure there are a few stands out there but…not too sure. They
seem kind on thin and cheap and it really doesn’t suit the
keyboard at all. I wanted to design something timeless,
premium looking and feeling
Shipping -
All parts are flat and there are no nuts bolts or screws to
increase shipping weight. We all hate when shipping is
expensive
Price: TBA. Will be up to
how many orders during GB
MOQ: TBA
Colors: At the moment I’ve only done clear acrylic. Very open to
do some other basic/popular colors as well but costs may
change due to the material cost.
Duration: IC will run for 2 months min. due to prototyping and to
take in opinions as well. So please leave your feedback in
the IC form.
GB: Aim will be some time
in December if all goes well and shipping in Q1 of 2021.
Shipping method: TBA (From the land down under mate)
And that’s it!
Please note that this is the first prototype and there are
changes to be made such as the height (I want to decrease
the height so that you can’t see the stand at all from a
front on view) As well as the angle at which it props the
keyboard up too.
There are plans also to add rubber
feet on the bottom on the stand and maybe where the keyboard
rests too (acrylic shouldn’t scratch metal but does scratch
other plastics)
Dimensions
Height
= Approx 12cm tall (aiming to reduce this so it can’t be
seen front on)
Length = Approx 18cm (between the
pillars)
Acrylic thickness = 1cm thicc
