Sandblasted + Clear coated brass weight will have a gloss at certain angles, and a flat matte look at others:

209698-2


Raw Sandblasted Brass is just Matte at all angles, and will develops a patina as the surface oxidises.

Hi All,

As Paradox has already reached MOQ, and the Order Form is now closed.

The Reflex order form will remain open until MOQ filled. Ideally I'd like to have at least MOQ+3 in case someone backs out during invoicing, but will see how that goes as we are at MOQ-2.

I'm bored at work and dangerously tempted to splash out on a Reflex. Just to be clear, there's two spots left, not two spots in a raffle? Also is there any typing test of the Reflex? I like the idea with the slits but just not sure how it'll play out. Aaaalso, would it be possible to swap out the brass plate for an alu plate as part of the base kit purchase?

We have 13/15 Reflex spots filled, and you can find the typing test for the Reflex in the original IC thread:
https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=97859.msg2692533#msg2692533

Unfortunately the brass plate quantities are fixed to get the bulk pricing with the factory, so can't really replace it for the Aluminium plate... Aluminium plates are more expensive because of that.

Ok fair enough. Is there a gallery of pics I'm missing somewhere? Would love to see some pics of the black board with the red plate in. Also just to check will the red alu plate match the red offered for the case?

The black Reflex is from the first prototype, and only the V1.00 plate fit in it due to the mount design, which was modified in later versions:

V1.00


V1.08

Here is some photos of the Black Reflex:

And the raw final Reflex proto:
https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=97859.msg2692305#msg2692305

And yes, the Aluminium Plate anodising color will be the same as the red offered for the case, however they are different alloys of aluminium, so there may be some slight differences in shade.

Still 2 Spots up for Reflex, not accounting for any backouts during invoicing.

The deadline for the GB will be 7 days from form opening, so that's  just over 3 days left to fill the spots.

So...if MOQ is not met for Reflex, does Paradox still get made or will you give more spots over to Paradox? I'm thinking perhaps something like 17 for Paradox and only 13 for Reflex?

Just curious. Did you do any promoting of these keyboards outside Geekhack?

The spots are locked with the factory for a lump sum cost, any negotiation to change the design distribution may affect the pricing.

If the MOQ is not met for Reflex by the deadline, the GB will be cancelled, including for the Paradox.

The design had a long IC thread, was featured on Top Clack twice as well as by other channels, and was "lively discussed" in various Discord channels. I think it has reached most of the audiences that will likely spend this amount on a custom keyboard, and not really for lack of promotion or awareness.

Sure, we can do that. However again, this is removing the reserved pool for invoicing backouts. As there are already at least 1 that have informed me they will back out of the Reflex, I hope everyone at least prepare for the worse.

I will run the raffle around Friday, and email/message you if you did not win a slot for the Paradox.

Windeh,

If you aren't familiar with /r/MechanicalKeyboards over at Reddit, I would be happy to post a thread over there on your behalf. I'll largely just link to this thread.

Just let me know. I'll be clear in communicating that only one spot is open, but to stay tuned because some might not pay their invoice.

Had your post buried inside your quote, so read through a couple time to see what you posted...  :p

Anyway please feel free to link to this thread on Reddit. However know that I have already gotten some more messages that they are backing out of the Reflex spot, so the gap have again widened.


I have taken to heart all criticisms regarding the pricing for this GB, and have gone on a crusade to lower my manufacturing costs. Should this GB fail to meet MOQ, all of you that submitted the order form up to this point will get priority and a discount to my next design, which I'm now finalizing the details with a new factory to produce.  However, should the aforementioned event occur, the Reflex & Paradox designs will be shelved for the foreseeable future.

Its not possible to have this design manufactured at a different factory in order to reduce cost to attract more buyers?


Right? I'm sure those of us interested in these designs would not mind to wait a bit longer if it meant a significant price reduction? After all, Chinese New Year is already gone to cause quite a long delay regardless

There will not be any significant price reduction for the Paradox or Reflex, as the only way to reduce their cost is to simplify their design.

The cost for these 2 designs has already happened, by ways of the prototypes and samples made. These will not go away with a change of factory. In fact, every time a factory is changed, new samples need to be made or you'll be going into a GB blind.

The complexity to get the fitment of Paradox weight to the case right also means that the cost cannot be distributed with a larger group buy, as each weight needs to be manually fitted. 15 is about as much as I can handle.

I will isolate the cost for developing the Reflex & Paradox within this project, so not to inflate the cost of subsequent designs.
