This keyboard is based off the 1970 Porsche 917K racecar.

People who have not heard of the car love the design.
The ones who know it, love it even more!

Some feedback from the IC form
Quote
3/1/3 split space would be poggin


I bet this is from dede, I will see if the sleep dealer want to do it

Quote
I think the bottom weight would look better if the wheel had five spokes like the ones on the car in the video but otherwise it all looks fantastic. The side and rear profiles are both really nice and reminiscent of the car and I like all the little engravings that show great attention to detail and the original inspiration. Too bad there will only be 20 because I really like it! And I have Skydata!

This is NOT A WHEEL!!!!!!! It's the intake fan  :mad:

Glossy finish
Not right now and not for this livery

Deliver world wide, come on man!
PM me. I have to buy a carrying case and ship it in that since the Customs doesn't like Packaging. (See Mr Simon VOD)

Quote
Redesign of the back weight to the silhouette of the Porsche 917
No

Quote
The silhouette of the car where the “917” is on the front as an option would be great! Also the PCB appears to support split bs but the plate does not from the pictures we have.
No I'm not adding silhouettes (see my point in the comments), and yes, the plate does support split bs

Awesome board! Great work on this.

Looks like the usb port is slightly angled up, is that the case or is it just from the angles we see it looks like that?

He does say that the board has a 9.17 degree typing angle, so...

I really like this, but I think you could take it to the next level by having the finished painted (or coated) in gloss since that would more closely match the actual Gulf livery.  Pet pet regardless.

Yes it is. It has the advantage of adding material above the port entrance while also looking Super cool! : )

Yes, Gulf version won't be offered in gloss finish.

This automotive paint will cost more. There is a place near my home which can do it. Thanks Herf

There will be no hotswap option offered. If you cannot solder, your options are:
1. Mill max it
1. pay someone to Mill max
2. pay someone to build it


Thank you for the Interests! Yay

This is right up my alley, and would be the cherry on top for my sim rig.
Just not 100% sure about the bottom... IMO would be nice to have the 917 silhouette laser engraved instead.

Something like this:

There will be a Martini Racing Team version.
As for the pig: I want to go all out if I do this, so I will place all the original German on it in red with the dotted stitching connecting.
I'll do it if there is enough interest. There will be more small runs of Gulf 917 in the future, but I will make very few units of this possible edition (it wouldn't be fun if everyone had it)

This keyboard emulates the object itself through design, so I will not place the silhouette on the back
 I've experimented with adding more, and it doesn't look as good.

(Getting people's attention is much easier there, as well as organization)

There was a crazy amount of interest and I'm glad to say I couldn't find anyone who didn't like it
