Hey everyone, this is KeepCalm27. People have been seeing a lot of keyboards and keycaps interest check, but today I will present to you something equally important, the Wrist Rest.
For the first round, it will be only available for 65% size (315.5mm Length).
IN STOCK SALE on DEC 22

Thank you for your patient to fill it out. Every suggestion means a lot.
Update December 9, 2021
Louis and I have been working on international transport for a long time. Finally we are close to in-stock sale, probably in 1-3 weeks.
Forged carbon fiber panels are also in-stock, but limited number.
QC are 95% done at iLumkb.
Sent to streamer, build und use guide on the way!
Update September 14, 2021
All Manufacturing was finished on August 27, and was sent to vendors. EU vendor is Oblotzky. Still need some time for vendors to QC all units themselves.
Another new panel material is decided, which is forged carbon fiber. And leather panel is waiting for prototypes. I will post some photos of forged carbon fiber panel by the end of this month.
Update August 10, 2021
Prototype II works well and also looks well. I finally choose Equalz as my alu part manu, they get pretty good quality control.
All the cushion layers are silicone now, which is easy to install.
Some people ask me about the magnetic connection. Actually it makes changing the top panel of wrist rest easier, which means the top panel is not glued onto the alu base. I tested several magnet combinations and finally makes sure when the panel is lifted, the base won't be lifted together, and when holding the wrist rest upside down, the panel won't drop. There will be other panels availble in the future. I have already ordered some forged carbon fiber panels from several suppliers.
Here are some photos of the second prototype.
Original Walnut, this panel isn't the final version, which is made by hand & CNC. It will be more accurate in the mass production.

Packaging was designed, and sample was made and still on the way to my house.
Update August 2, 2021
Just got my alu part of prototype II, new manu is better than previous one. Soon I will post some new photos of it.
Wood part of prototype II is not reaching my standard, so it needs a few more days to re-make.
Features:
8-degree angle
Aluminum base & wood top panel (optional forged carbon fiber panel)
Magnetic connection with Silicone cushioning layer
Silicone protection layer between wrist rest & keyboard
Structure:

Dimension:
Front height: 4mm, Rear height 16mm (Lower profile makes typing more comfortable)

Width: 85mm
Colors:
R1 will be limited to Black Anode / Dark Walnut. Forged carbon fiber panels are provided as an option.
Vendors:
Asia: iLumkb
EU: Oblotzky Industires
Pricing and In-stock Quantity:
Price: to be determined
In-stock Quantity: 160 Units for R1 (R2 depends on the demand)
To-do:
Get prototype I (without magnetic connection, tested)
Get prototype II (with magnetic connection)
Design the outer packaging (Probably carton with EVA)
Finalize selling details (In-stock quantity, colors, pricing)

冷静哥 YYDS, i want this ASAP

GLWIC!

I'm really interested if there's a 96%/1800 size, white color and lighter wood like maple/pine, etc
-
Insta buy 100% (please more production units!) also I'm pretty sure the success of first couple of rounds will eventually and definitely move on to the product lineup expansion, so definitely joining.
-
Looks beautifully crafted.
-
Most keyboards are 5-7 degree, why have you gone with an 8 deg angle? Do you have a specific board in mind?

8-degree works well with 5-7-degree boards as well, more important is the lower profile. Actually this angle doesn't makes much difference, but the width does. My Keycult No.2/65 and Aurora Input Series 65 are both 8 degree, and it also works great with my E6.5.
-
looks nice - definitely interested
-
Looks really neat. Will buy one if shipping to europe is not very expensive.

Hope it won't be too expensive, or maybe consider finding a EU vendor?
-
Stunning design and love the combination of materials. I hope to see a lot more of this in the future.
-
Saw this over at the Keycult server gallery. Stunning work. Will be interested if the price is hopefully not too high.
Great stuff.

Thank you! I hope it won't become to expensive, but CNC machining the both part accurately is kind of costy. I'm still trying to negotiate with the both manu, hopefully lower the price.

I really like the design of it. GLWIC. :thumb:

Thanks for the reply, appreciate the response! hope you make a tkl one after this :)

I like the design aesthetic of this. A must buy!

This but TKL size please.
-
Love the design and the colors chosen for the first round. Will try to get one for sure.
Hopefully there's enought demand for more rounds with more colors and sizes.
GLWIC & GB
-
I will 100% buy this for my Jelly Epoch. great job
-
Very nice, although I think this wouldn't really fit my Hello M0110 keyboard, since the case has rounded edges... Ah well, could just buy a new 65% instead!
-
This in E-White with Oiled Maple would look Fantastic ^-^

I just order a new prototype from manu, which is silver+cherry. I will try to figure out a light color combination, thanks for your advice!
-
This but TKL size please.
I'm still considering TKL version, but according to the way we use TKL, it might be asymmetric. But I'm sure 60% & TKL will be made in the future.
-
Take my money. Then take it again for a TKL version. Then take it again and again for a Bear version and a NAUS version. Keep bringing more versions out and I will keep buying them. Love the initial design and would love to see someone really go to town on good wrist rest designs.

Thanks for supporting! I will bring up 60% & TKL soon after I finish 65%. I still have some new design in my head, some of them are already in my computer. I will still focus on Wrist Rest, cuz I think it really helps while using keyboards.

Good fitting wrist rest is essential to any Alice style board and is often overlooked by the board designers. I have many boards that need a fitted rest. You make them and I will buy them.

Very nice design, filled up the IC

still checking details and pricing with manu, i'm sure it won't be too high. And it is pretty sure worthy.
-
I know you are still checking details with your manu about pricing, but do you have any estimate? Your design is stunning btw I really dig it :thumb:

black ano / dark walnut will be like $100-130, i think. I'm still not sure, cuz Prototype II has not been checked yet.
-
By far the coolest looking wrist rest I've ever seen! Would definitely pick up a few different sizes!
-
+1 Looking fantastic!

Looks so good. Hope it goes on GB soon so I can pick it up.

For the first round, which has already begun manufacturing, likely only iLumkb. But iLumkb told me about shipping fee to US, it will be around 25 USD with DHL within 5 days.
If you guys like this design and my future design of wrist rest, yes, I will reach out to US vendors.

Makes sense! Glwgb!

The prototype with additional wood finish turned out amazing.
-
Wow - the second proto looks incredible! Will definitely be picking one up! Very exciting!
Is there another place we can follow along the project (Discord), or will everything just be posted on GH?

In iLumkb Discord, Louis will post the update there. Round 1 nearly finish manufacture and when I finish QC and send them to iLumkb, they will annouce the selling detail in discord channel.

Super keen for this!! Have been looking for a good wrist wrest and i really like this design.
-
already asked in the form but maybe i'm not the only one wondering : where will the wood come from ? Upcycling ? if not, will it have some certification to avoid some sh**** wood mafia ?
-
:thumb: nice work.

Any new updates? GB soon?

Checking in after a while, and I'm glad I didn't miss the GB. Or FCFS or raffle even, whatever the form it may take.
Any news on GB details?

I have already shipped R1 160 units to vendors on 28 Aug. Due to the some difficult international shipping issues, it still needs some time to get to vendors. When they get the products, I will post the GB info.

That is fantastic! Really looking forward to get one on hands if possible.

Love it, I hope I'll be able to get one :)

Any news yet on the R1 units being shipped to vendors? My wrists needs this wrist rest. lol.

Vendors all got R1 units, but sitll need some time to qc and prepare for GB. And probably reach out to some live streaming on twitch.
Please just give us a little bit more time to make it better and easier fur users.

Looking forward to these! Appreciate you ironing out the details before launching and then having to backtrack on certain things.

Will this GB be happening before the end of the year? Seems like there should've been plenty of time for vendors to QC the units by now.

Updated on December 9, 2021.
Stay tuned! We will start in-stock sale in December!

I'd love to see this in polycarb/wood for a tkl.
