WOW! that looks amazing. I want one so badly.

[Engels]

o.m.g is fantastic .

[hq]

looks amazing!
please consider a second color scheme, as I really dislike gold 
if you want to keep it simple, instead of black maybe a grey/silver/stone tone?

It's been a while since I read the thread so if that's already mentioned disregard 

[Data]

Holy ****.

[oatmicro]

Are you sure that is not a render?

Of course this won't be the only option.

I'm glad the prototype is just what I expected.

Hi puddsy, I never mentioned it but I really appreciate your positive comments about our designs/products in the community and TopClack. I'll make sure to give you some discounts or priorities if you're in.

YES

Wow man this is so beautiful 

There will be any transparent plate covering that clock? 

Also, the 75% version is dead? Not sure if you decided to do the 75% too at the end or only the TKL.  I would be in 100% for that design with a 75%-96 layout

[HotRoderX]

do we have a price yet? are a estimated price.. obviously won't hold ya to a final price.. since things can change

I'm touched. I don't think I'll have cash to get into this one, but maybe in the future.

Keep up the good work.

If MIRA ships before this runs, I'll be able to sell my KBD75 (+some other stuff) and get in.

All my other boards are in pieces, or don't fit on my tiny dorm desk.

I thought you wrote Kira and i was laughing at you

[//gainsborough]

Gorgeous!  Very nice work on this design! 

[vtachkov]

This is beautiful. It should go on display in a museum.

[zimo]

I see the Chinese newspaper. Is this made in China?

[lvince95]

Any pictures of the side profile?

Yes, it's made in a factory in Shenzhen, China. Join our Chinese fan club QQ group if you're interested: 425307400

I don't have any more photos except the two I shared earlier.

More photos will be taken by professional photographers and come with the GB post later the next week.

Fantastic news! I understand if this can't be disclosed yet and/or if you prefer to hold off on it until the GB post next week but do you have a more accurate estimate as far as pricing goes now that you had the prototype produced?

[HotRoderX]

Question for the Community lets say this is produced in that Rendered Maroon color! what kinda keycaps might look good with that?

Yes, now based on my estimation, the price will be around $400 (or $450 shipped) which is higher than what I hoped. The main reason is the clock shaped weight inserts are very difficult to make and have a a lot higher cost than normal shaped weights.

I'm thinking of GMK Plum.

[SBJ]

That looks absolutely stunning!

Yea, that is a little steeper than I'd hoped personally based on your earlier estimations but it is also understandable due to the intricacy of the clock design etc. No doubt in my mind that it is worth it, just a little harder of price tag to swallow as a European customer (imports, VAT, etc.)

yea feeling the same way I really like this and am going to have to give it some serious thought. I am not in Europe but US so import isn't such a big deal. The biggest hang up is 450 shipped ((going with the highest end price)) then tacking on another 50-80 dollars to have it built. I am looking at over 500... which would be pretty expensive for a single keyboard even one as amazing as this! Though wait hopefully perhaps some how the price will come in a bit cheaper.

I've got to agree with all of this. Its a beautiful board but the price point may be too steep for me. However, I'll still lurk this thread to drool over everyone else's 

[mudcakehoney]

I think I’m going to have to back out, add another 25% for AUD plus building and I’m looking at a $700 ish keyboard. It’s a beautiful design but more than I can justify

[Sifo]

500 for a keyboard sounds about right :^)

[JSaintS]

I was really hoping for a lower price (although I do understand why it costs so much, don't get me wrong). But living in Europe sucks for that basing my calculation on the higher available estimated price, it would be $450 + shipping ($40?) + import fees (around $110 for belgium) + Paying someone to build it (another $40); That would cost me around $640 I'll have to just watch people be happy about theirs

You got me wrong. I mentioned it would be around $450 shipped using DHL express. So if you build it by yourself, the total will be within $500 without considering the taxes. I didn't know the taxes are so high in EU. That's really terrible to hear.

[nurupism]

Depending on declaration value, the customs fees might be a bit lower. I recall that my Fox Orange purchase wasn't taxed very heavily.

[xondat]

The general rule for EU taxes (VAT [value added tax]), is that it's 20%. So a $400 item becomes has $80 VAT.
