Just an update.  Had someone that seemed highly interested in building these, but they hadn't replied to my messages two days in a row having read them.  Another three days went by, and nothing was messaged.  This is all after he delayed making the prototype for roughly two weeks. 

I'm going to have to contact someone outside of the keyboard community to make these.  This is a very busy week for me, so I'll try next weekend to look for a person or company that can make this for me.

In the time I waited for a prototype from the other person, I feel this whole GB could have been finished already.

Stay tuned.

You're a champ, thank you for being so detail oriented and strict.

I like how the palm area rolls of to a nice curve whereas the tenting stand from MD was a sharp edge. Should be much comfortable to use over a long period of time. 

In for a set for sure!

Very nice.  My only concern at this point is the height of the "wrist rest" portion.  Does it block the part of the VE.A case that emits light?

Any chance you could post a photo from the inside (tall side) edge?

The dimensions are fine @Data

That looks absolutely beautiful!

Is there any chance of a multiwood version? I saw one for a 60% in your Reddit thread and would love it if that was possible with this drop too! No matter what I'll be getting at least one set but a multi-wood set would be amazing!

What exactly do you mean?  Two different colors per half?  Or did you mean glue two woods and then cut?  I would have to ask, I will be calling the maker this weekend.

This is what I am talking about:

I am going to guess it would be 2 pieces glued together and then cut but I'm not a woodworker so I'm really not sure how they manage to make it look like that.

No offense, but that looks fugly.  And would cost more to make.  The only two-tone design that might look good would be different colors for the bottom half and the palm rest.  I still prefer single color design.

Talked to the maker today.  The following woods will be offered (from most to least expensive with oak and beech being the same price):

Zebrawood
African Wenge
Walnut
Mohogany
Oak
Beech

Pricing is still being finalized, but this will launch soon.  Expect each set to cost at least $100.  There is a lot of labor that goes into hand making these as well as material costs, prototyping costs and overhead. 

Shipping will be billed separately.  International shipping will be pretty pricey, and unfortunately, there is no way for me to lower pricing unless someone wishes to proxy orders for a particular country.  Actual shipping price will be charged.  Sets are estimated to weigh 3lbs. 

There is an MOQ of 20 sets, and a maximum order of 100 sets.  Prototyping costs will be split across each order, so the more that are ordered, the cheaper each set will cost.  For example, if 100 sets are ordered, each person will save about $32 compared to 20 being ordered. 

I will be posting pics of the actual woods that will be used to make these, as well as updated renders soon.  The GB will then launch soon after.

The total timeline from ordering to receiving is estimated to be around 3-4 months.

Thank you everyone for your patience and understanding.   ;)


wengeeeeeeeeeeeee

Is MDDDIY the maker?  I know he's a fan of African Wenge.

I'll throw in the same comment I made on Reddit! Wenge, Zebrawood or Padauk and I'm in!

Well I'm in! Since this is a pretty relaxed and custom buy, any chance we can all pepay for prototyping costs, see what the prototypes look like and then decide and pay the remainder of the full price?

I know I prefer zebrawood to wenge, but don't know how it looks with the keyboard y'know?

Oh? For some reason I got the impression that all woods would be prototyped. I mean unless the woodworker is exceptionally experienced (I am not saying they're not), they themselves probably have to do a little bit of prototyping to get all the woods to work the way they'd want them to.
