When you say it's not realistic to reach an MOQ of 300, do you mean it's not realistic because you don't think you'll reach that, or not realistic because it's too much work for you?

With the way this board has been praised, Im leaning that it may indeed be possible, especially seeing how many jumped on the Octagon v2 in just a few days.

But 300 is a lot for one man, so I can see it's not possible for a single person.

Thanks for the update Vermillion. I appreciate you keeping us informed! I know this information will help many decide whether or not they can follow through with the GB.

Either way,
I don't think a board which price is this high cannot make 300 orders.
Even if it makes that quantity, I cannot handle it.
That's what I meant for "not realistic".

I've got some comic books that add up to the cost of this that I've already listed to sell.



Also, I've figure out what I'd do with the left cluster: artisans.

I'd do things for this keyboard. Bad things.

Wouldn't 300 orders being put into the shop lower the price a good amount?

Most shop(if you mean factory) doesn't take 300 as good amount.
If there's a shop which take that is good amount, are saying a BIG BIG cost for produce.
I must find somewhere order-price matching factory but... it's not that simple.
Which I know when last time I got lucky to produce 30 of them in that "cheap" price.

I don't think people realize how unimaginably difficult a group buy of that magnitude would be. 30 would be already difficult enough.

It isn't just manufacturing MOQ and price wouldn't have been an issue for the project. There are so many different pieces that go into a keyboard buy like this.

No. but speaking of that, would a magnet (mediumish strength) work? Would be a cool little mod to figure out a latch or something.

I updated OP.

The difference between the 400-450 up to 456 isn't that big of a bump. I'd say that that's a tiny bump even for the low-end. Good to figure out an accurate estimation and also possibly charge a bit more to give you some working room.

Additionally, lots of people want pre-soldered PCBs and I'm sure a few want pre soldered switches. If that would prevent the buy from happening I'm sure they would figure out how to source the soldering elsewhere or do it themselves (There's lots of trustworthy soldering services available right on GH!).

is there a mechanism that keeps the two halves together when you're not using the ergo split? like a latch?
No. but speaking of that, would a magnet (mediumish strength) work? Would be a cool little mod to figure out a latch or something.
It's a little heavier than magnet can fix, (I didn't tried but hmm...)
Latch or magnet to fix will be great attraction feature if possible, but you have to think about price. more complex mechanism and parts need more money.
It's already high enough, I don't think any additional feature (which is not practical when using it) is necessary.
I have my standard about design, fixing it is not in the list. Keyboard is sit on the desk most of time.
And also I want this keyboard used in split form, with proper tented stand.
The idea about "transformable" is for design, attraction, and can be practical for those who trying to move over to the split-typing world.

The difference between the 400-450 up to 456 isn't that big of a bump. I'd say that that's a tiny bump even for the low-end. Good to figure out an accurate estimation and also possibly charge a bit more to give you some working room.
You got that a little wrong.
What I meant for that range was

minimum 400 will be 456
maximum? it could be over 513.

That's a BIG number for just one board housing and PCB.

Oh I definitely understand! I meant as a mod later after people already have them. But you're right about it not being too practical, since it'll be on the desk most of the time.

Is the price because the split design doubles the individual parts in the kit?
That was something brought up when I was having a case designed for this.

(There's lots of trustworthy soldering services available right on GH!).

Can't tell if this is a joke or not
There is though. Granted, there's also plenty of shady people here too.

Whatever you do please don't be like kin25. :)
Many Korean designer told me (including kin25) SMT is a must-in-feature when it goes global.
Hand soldering option can make the price and schedule not acceptable.
That's why I'm planning to go for SMT. it's a lot cheaper than hand-soldering and even more accurate.

But to be honest, I don't like SMT, I think it's not what custom keyboards should be, I feel ready-made from that.
Struggling to build is one of joy when it comes to hobby, -yes when it's affordable- soldering iron isn't that much. it's a little hard to learn how to solder little ICs, yet it's enjoyable.
but a few pieces of CNC work? no joke there, and also PCB. producing PCB is not that pricey but a bit hard to design since you need a bit of electronical knowledge background. That's why I share my PCB(Vergo type.T-II) outline design file on public. You can design your own PCB for VE.A.

Wow, I said a lot :) that could make some people uncomfortable.
GH is forum for custom keyboard discussion, So I think this is OK even in this thread which is -interesting check for keyboard kit-.
