SERIES 00
A machined metal artisan - available
in aluminum, stainless steel, and brass.
Take the Series 00 interest survey
Hello everyone.
Its loop, Cubic, and Isshin of
esc lab. We’re back on Geekhack to show you all what we’ve
been up to with Series 00 since our first IC.
We
learned a great deal during our first IC. So, the past four
months, we’ve been heads down working – going through
multiple rounds of prototyping for Series 00 + the
packaging, finding vendors, finalizing the logistic
challenges of producing and shipping a product
internationally.
Today, we feel we are ready to show
you Series 00.
Thank you to everyone that contributed
feedback to both esc lab and Series 00 - what you see today
is a culmination of that work.
We hope you like what
you see, and as always, feel free to let us know what you
think.

3. DETAILS
Series 00 is a familiar R1
Cherry-like profile. It looks sharp, but does not feel
sharp.
Each Series 00 has the identification info, AKA
Series ID, engraved into the base.
Each keycap is sequentially
numbered starting at /#00. Will you be lucky enough to
get /#01, /#69, or /#420?
Metal artisans fit differently on different switches
due to switch stem manufacturing tolerances.
We have
tested Series 00 on all the most popular switch families to
ensure a good fit and
logged the results of each switch.
Each polished Series 00 is individually
hand-polished.
4. REVIEWS
We have shipped all five Series 00
off to reviewers so you can get an outside opinion of our
artisan. We will continually update this section as we hear
back.

6. EASTER EGG HUNT: ENDED ON
03/01/2021
Easter Egg Hunt is an esc lab tradition from IC1
where you try to find an “Easter Egg” hidden in
our website
for a chance to win a Series 00 prototype.
With the
launch of this IC2, the Easter Egg Hunt is back, harder than
ever, with the Sandblasted Brass (P3) up for grabs. We’ve
given away three prototypes so far - Black Anodized Aluminum
(P0), Polished Stainless Steel (P1), and Polished Brass
(P2). Each giveaway proto is also sequentially engraved
starting from “P0”. Other than through Easter Egg Hunts,
there is no other way to get a prototype. We do not sell
prototypes. Ever.
The Easter Egg Hunt starts now. There
are currently a number of clues spread out across our
website leading to a hidden link. Find the hidden link, and
you may be the lucky winner.
The Easter Egg Hunt ends
on March 1st 2021.
You can join the
/#easter-egg-hunt channel on
our Discord
to work with others on the hunt.
You’ll probably need the help. Or maybe you can
throw others off?
Clue 0/4:
If you want to find the egg, you better be at the
source.

to start the hunt.
7. TIMELINE
This is the
timeline for Series 00 based on our manufacturing and
logistics estimates.
As with all IC and GBs, there may
be obstacles and delays; it’s best to just assume there will
be. We will do our best to both hit the estimates and be
transparent with you all if there are delays. We will keep
you informed with updates on our Discord and Research
Facility.
