Interesting project (even though it's not for me, but not everything should be catered toward me XD)

1000 USD does seem steep, but considering the more complex design, the large amounts of copper and the low moq (Like 30moq) it seems like it's fine, but I'm not too well versed about machining and quoting so keep in mind of that.

 Thank you Rhienfo.
I am focusing on the design elements that stimulate the mind and the direction I pursue.

 We are aware that the della 960 has an high price point unlike regular keyboards.
This is because I did what I wanted without compromising a single thing in terms of price.

This will be the most satisfying keyboard for me.

 thank you and Have a good day.

Honestly, if you end up somewhere near $1000 I'm in. If you end up around $1500 I'm probably out 'cos I can't afford that. Either way, that side is fantastic. I love your aesthetic. Really good stuff.

Yes, thank you for your interest in our work.
We are working hard in many ways to not give up on the direction we are pursuing.
Everything is fantastic and we are preparing step by step.

Board looks pretty nice but $1000-$1500 is pretty steep. I guess those are the respective price estimates for the MOQ of 30 and 50.
I dont even want to know what you paid for the protos ouch  :confused:

thank you. We are working more towards a clear direction rather than market sales. I hope the design and the sound I'm pursuing are conveyed well.

 Yes, we are thinking about selling after securing instock to control uncertain variables in the first sale.
(The actual defect rate for each fabrication has not been established, so if it is proceeded with GB, the keybaord quantity may be insufficient or excessive.)
 We are not a big company, so we can't prepare a lot of quantities with instock.

(edit) since we're talking more than $1000 per unit we're in bespoke luxury item territory - could we have plate files, or a dedicated ISO and ANSI plates at least :) I appreciate the standard PCB support (great future proofing), but your pursuit of perfect sound should also include the switch plate...

Thanks for sharing this project, it is one of the most interesting design-wise TKLs that have seen for a long time. Since the first day, I've been lurking and wondering how it would end up, the first prototypes. They are stunning!
It is very likely that I won't be able to buy one of the units due to its price, but I would love to try/see one someday.

I have some quick questions/suggestions from my side that you may find useful:
- Not sure which type of daughterboard you are planning to use, but would you consider using a Unified USB daughterboard? It is an open-source project and I believe it is aligned with the concept of using well-known electronics, as you are doing with the h88nu.
- Design-wise, I also would say that I would prefer to have the USB port located in a lower position. It will be safer and will be, at least to my eyes, more aesthetically pleasing.
- I've seen your answer about the aluminium middle piece, but would you consider the usage of other materials as optional?

Please continue to pursue your dream board and have some fun while doing it.
GLWIC!

I think $1000~1500 is for one-off keyboard. I suppose any keyboard groupbuy above $1000 just didn't get a reasonable quote from the manu.

Hello, thank you for the good discussion suggestion. These conversations are very helpful for progress.

1. Let's discuss positively.
2. We tried it, but we thought it was not perfect in terms of design.
3. We are not thinking about changing the material of the middle plate yet. This is our first try and we feel it's important to create what we think is best. You can try and review it later.

Yes, not all keyboards have the same purpose.
We do not know the exact risk or QC scope for the factory.

  Therefore, we plan to make all products and proceed with instock. (This method helps to eliminate all problem elements. This means small quantity. Limited budget)

  In addition, there were no compromises in favor of design, material and structure processing.
This keyboard is not a universally reasonable keyboard.

Some say first-come, first-served is reasonable.
Some say Raffle is reasonable.
we are contemplating.

The factory said it was difficult to process.
It may be difficult to get the price down to that price range.
I understand the complaints about the price of this keyboard being too high.

thank you. I'm still working on prototype v2.
Manufacturing the keyboard at the factory is taking longer than expected.

Hopefully PayPal is supported, uncomfortable spending so much in one go but beautiful board regardless

A 3 piece design where the bottom copper piece does not do anything functional except make the case look good from the sides when it is placed on a table? Why not make the bottom piece a frame so that the cost comes down? You say the price is more than 1000$ yet you can't support WK layout? Even though the PCB has the sockets for WK? Your plate does not do anything functional where the WK key is located. This design appears more of a needless resource consumption than a balanced design that optimizes both the resources it consumes and the design.

What's the point of any luxury mechanical watch, when a Casio G-Shock will outlast about everything and resist drops, water, extreme temperatures, etc., with absolute precision (since they have atomic / GPS sync), while mechanical watches are much less precise, require maintenance, and will break down if dropped or subjected to magnetic fields..

Nothing. It just shows some people have money to burn.

You understand that custom keyboards are pure luxury items too right ? They have absolutely no utility over an OEM keyboard - these are now also made of metal if you want with lubed switches and gaskets etc. The difference is of course execution, like the afore mentioned watches.

It's important to chase dreams. And I love to see when people dream big and decide to share those dreams with others.

This is the rarified artisan realm.
