[reaper]

Interested in a white one with red stiching, TKL size.  Position of the logo should be front right like Ducky below (I believe Filco's logo is in the same location).

[Permeability]

Interested in a wrist rest for 104 keyboards  )

[Redndwhite]

I'm interested in two, a 104 and a tenless.

Black with red stitching and white with a baby blue or orange would look cool

[Halverson]

I'm in for a full size white, with whatever stitching. Maybe orange....

[imadeanaccounttoseepics]

I'm In for a 104 keyboard.
Would like to know EXACT pricing and what the total would be each wrist rest + shipping.

I would want a black pad with black threading.. Is It mandatory to have the "Geek Hack" stamped onto the wrist pad?

THANKS!

[elton5354]

How about custom threading? And possibly free shipping base on the numbers ordered?

Oh and I want a 60%

[Alessandro]

I'd be after a 60%. Black leather and white stitching.

[TDub]

Interessted in 1 fullsize, 1 TKL and if you end up making 60% I would be interessted in two of those as well. Depends on the final prize though.

Wristwrest matching some of the round4 sets would be really cool, like black/grey for the dolce, White and blue for the retro or black and orange.

[NikoGasm]

Interested in a TKL. Black threading on black leather. I'd like the logo to be in the bottom right corner.

[jeroplane]

Interested in the TKL.

I agree that the best positioning for the logo would be on the lower right corner of the rest.

Not too fussed about the colours, but the safe bet would be black leather with whatever stitching. Could do GH colours and use orange thread, but that wouldn't match many boards. Personally I think the idea of navy leather + white stitching would look great.

This is a great idea - interested in how it will price!

[eon]

Also interested in a TKL version, in black with white stitching.

Logo in the bottom right corner would be nice

[Marclgw]

Interested in a white one with red stiching, TKL size.  Position of the logo should be front right like Ducky below (I believe Filco's logo is in the same location).

Show Image

Roger that on the positioning of the logo.
2ndly, for red stiching , we will have to base on what majority of the people prefer before we have a go.
I will most likely let this run for the next 2-4 days and gather more information before finalising on the color of thread each different color wrist rest.

Interested in a wrist rest for 104 keyboards  :))

Any Particular color or threading preferred?

I'm interested in two, a 104 and a tenless.

Black with red stitching and white with a baby blue or orange would look cool

Noted, as mentioned to reaper on the first reply, the finalise combination of leather and stiching combination will be out base on the number of request from people who express interest in this thread.

I'm in for a full size white, with whatever stitching. Maybe orange....

Roger, Your prototype are about done .

I'm In for a 104 keyboard.
Would like to know EXACT pricing and what the total would be each wrist rest + shipping.

I would want a black pad with black threading.. Is It mandatory to have the "Geek Hack" stamped onto the wrist pad?

THANKS!

Firstly, since this is a Geekhack Wrist Rest, it would be best to have it on every single wrist rest after all we're part of the Geekhack family isn't it =D

I would not be able to address to you the confirmed shipping cost yet as shipping charges are base on weight. As of now we do not have a confirmed figure yet of the number of pieces we will be doing.

How about custom threading? And possibly free shipping base on the numbers ordered? :D

Oh and I want a 60%

Hi Elton5354,

Chances are no custom threading as factory will be producing in bulk instead of doing it piece by piece. Free shipping will be unlikely, but godly prices will tempt you still =D.

I will see if we need a MOQ to make the 60% . Would be good if someone can provide me with the dimensions for the 60% wrist rest .

I'd be after a 60%. Black leather and white stitching.

Any particular color leather you are looking for and threading that goes with the leather color?

Interested in a TKL. Black threading on black leather. I'd like the logo to be in the bottom right corner.

Noted with thanks.

[imadeanaccounttoseepics]

@Marc : Thanks for your response but I'd still prefer not to have the logo stamped on , LOL. As you can see I'm not really a "family member" of Geek Hack since I'm still a newbie!
Like I said though, I prefer not to have It but If It's mandatory then there's no other choice!

[Marclgw]

Sad to say that , it will be mandatory , so that the person handling the shipment in US will handle in peace.

LOL.

[DanGWanG]

Black with red stitching.  Tkl size

[Elrick]

TKL and 104.  Black Leather with Orange stitching.

Just a Geek Hack fan.  Since a GB with Charcoal and Orange is already happening, these babies will feel right at home.

[Intense]

Would like a full size if the price is reasonable. black with white stitching

[peachesenregalia]

I'll take a black tenkeyless with black stitching.

[Myv]

Black with red stitching, full size.

[OrangeJewce]

Why is this a debate over the stitching? HAS To be orange!

If you can do this, 1 Full, 1 TKL for me.

Cheers,

[samwisekoi]

Interested in a black 104 with red or orange stitching.  Agree that the logo should be in the lower right corner of the pad.

Personally, I'd size it so the characters were sized to match a keycap face plus ascenders and descenders.

OTOH, I think it would look good -- and nicely professional -- with an imprint to match the current website logo.

[TDub]

Since it sounds like we won't be to do too many color combinations, I would like at least one option that is very neutral and will look good with any board like black leather with black stitching.

Personally I would also be very interessted in one with white leather and if possible blue stitching but another color stitching would be fine too. But I would probably buy other color combinations as well if thats what we end up going with.

[Sifo]

TKL white blue stitching

[boost]

Put me down for a tkl black with red stitches

[midnight77]

I might be interested in a tkl one.  White/Orange stitching or black/white stitching.

I would prefer having no logo though.  I just prefer things to not have any logos on them whenever possible. 

[xJaPx]

Intetested!  Full size black base pink stitching, 60% white base with red stitching.  Also agree bottom right for.logo

[demik]

[danielucf]

$70 seems crazy for a wrist rest. I hope the Geekhack ones are not anywhere near as expensive.

[alrgeez]

if the price is right, i'm down for a white or black TKL with orange stitching.

[zhuangqdcn]

I'm interesting in a full size one.

[fruktstund]

Also interested. TKL, white base, blue or white stitching. Or something like that.

[noctoocto]

Interested in a TKL in white or grey with light blue stitching. I don't really care what blue, as long as it's not navy. I might have to back out depending on price and shipping.

[wiredPANDA]

Interested in a TKL (black with orange/red stitch) and interested in a 60% if/when that ever gets an IC.

[imadeanaccounttoseepics]

I might be interested in a tkl one.  White/Orange stitching or black/white stitching.

I would prefer having no logo though.  I just prefer things to not have any logos on them whenever possible.

$70 .

[balancebox]

interested in TKL black leather with red stitching and 60% black with orange stitching

[Halverson]

After some thinking, add a tkl black with red stitching to my order. And to help get the ball rolling, a 60% black with orange stitching.
As for the logo, I do like the idea of the sites current logo. Stamped on the bottom right of course.

Oh and.....woo! Prototypes!

[Burz]

I'd be interested if the price is reasonable. My preference would be to get one as long as possible (104+), because I always end up shifting the pad for both keyboard and mouse use.

The initial logo and placement look nice. The only thing I'd be concerned about is if it would wear down too quickly.

FWIW I've already got one wrist rest that's perfect... an old Belkin ErgoPad Premiere (the only thing from Belkin I ever liked). It is flat foam rubber with an equally thick layer of gel underneath, and a plastic base underneath. After 12 or 13 years its starting to wear out. I don't like gel-only rests.

[feng]

Hm.. I was about to do a group buy for these, but I'll wait for a while then. Maybe I could just do it without having the logo.

[danielucf]

I'm interested in a 60% with orange thread if the price is in the $30-40 range. TKL if the 60% doesn't get made.

[prava]

We need to know the price range

[Marclgw]

Not to worry about prices they are definitely not as pricey. In fact with 70 you can buy up to 2 or 3 of them.

[Marclgw]

I will try to allow as many options for  stitching and no logo may be considered. Anyone in CONUS keen on handling this shipment? Pm me to discuss

[imadeanaccounttoseepics]

Thanks for the updates bro!

EDIT: We need more people interested.. The more people there are the bigger the discount!

[Amarok]

I'm interested in a black TKL with orange/red stitching.

[Elrick]

Please remember that when these are produced and if the makers want $70+ on their product then the QUALITY has to be up there like Filco Palm Rests.

I've got two already and they are near as perfect as palm rests could be.  Made out of Genuine Leather, absolutely no flex and weigh in quite a bit.  So if you are dealing with Chinese Manufacturers make them understand that the higher the price tag then the Quality has to really be there.

Also pre-production prototypes need to be sent and because the op who started this Group Buy will be in receivership, then he/she needs to provide detailed photos, examination of the rests before it progresses any further.

[jessecoleman]

Add my name to the list for a 60% wrist rest. It all depends on the pricing for me.
