About
Hi, I’m $W4GK!NG, it has
been over 2 years since I started this hobby, this is my
first keyboard project.
I saw a Kmac Mini, I instantly
fell in love, so I made this board, the naming sake and
color choices are some weeb ////
no one probably cares about.

As mentioned before, the color choices were based on some weeb stuff, I’m not gonna bore yall with that
Prototype & Iteration
Prototype Album
I don’t have the means to get another prototype in a different color at the time so you will have to forgive me on that, but anyway, this blue prototype was built in the most basic of all layouts.
I typed on that for a month and I don’t like how muted the spacebar was so I decided to add some acoustic cut on the spacebar area both on my prototype and the model.
And I ended up in-filling the front engraving with acrylic paint.
For the actual run, there is some amount of change compared to the prototype unit, the case wall size has been reduced and the wall that separated the xt column has been thickened a little, I also added a chamfer all around the bottom case and the seam, and also the plate height from plate to top case is increased from 7.5mm to 7.8mm so that keycaps other than GMK will not float.
Anyway here’s a sound test of the first build of the prototype unit, without the spacebar cut yet.
Pricing, Availability & Vendors
Ideally, I would love this to be around $450US + Shipping at around 100 MOQ + a few FNF units, Time frame is probably Q2 Q3 2022, still have to finalize the stuff about vendors. Reminder that with more vendors and higher interest, I might be able to run this with a higher MOQ and that will definitely lower the price.
Price per keyboard will be $545.00CA / 500.00 (incl. 19% VAT) / $589SG / 6,299,00Rp respectively with 100MOQ
