Hi everyone!
I am a keyboard lover from korea.
Its my first time writing a topic here.
I used to collect keyboards, and decided to make my own.
All the planning is finished. I am in contact with the factory and to lower the price for each unit, I decided to look for others who may be interested in my keyboard.
The concept of this keyboard is a combination between modern and classic.
I know its expensive for a first GB, but there is no way I can bring the price down more because I’m making only a few of these.
-Specs-
Colour: Silver (maybe gray but with extra cost)
Layout: WKL only
Degree: 9
Mounting Method: Sandwich (just like whale but a little more harder)
Material: Aluminium 6061 and Brass for weight (SUS for gray)
Quantity: 20 (Factory told me that their price differ by 1/20/50 I decided to go with 20)
Price: Targeting 550 (no pcb included) The tight budget I’ve set leaves us no margin. Price including shipping and packaging)

- Notice -
For some funny reasons, people are focusing on the price 750. I never said that it would cost 750. I took it easy on the pricing range but maybe it was a mistake.
I am still contacting multiple factories from multiple countries to bring the price down. It could go below 550. Nobody knows including me.
The material of the housing will be changed to 6063.
Lately the pricing of the aluminium has gone up high. And since I am producing only a few than other GBs, it cannot be cheaper than making more.
This GB will go with no margin. I am not interested in making money through my hobby. It was planned for my own housing, but since it was too expensive to make only one for me, I decided to make a bit more to bring the price down a little. If the price is too high for you, you can pass on.
I will make a new notice when I get quotes about pricings from the factories I have been in contact with.
If a moq of 20 is not reached, only 1 unit will be produced.


-Update 10.7.2021-
Finally received a quote from local factory in Korea.
Finall pricing will be 520 USD including P.P fee excluding shipping fee. Shipping fee will be additional 80 USD. (No pcb will be included)
This is the lowest I can go with a MOQ of 20. MOQ will not be changed.
