coming soon ;D
update #3 27/07/15
Prototype sample is ready. I am high. Groupbuy soon.

update #2 19/07/15
I should receive the final prototype in a few days time. Then I will work out on the costing and have the group buy up by the end of this week. I am thinking not to make a lot of this, perhaps only 20 units to meet the MOQ. Also not looking forward to make a huge profit out of this, not loosing any money will do.
Nothing fancy, but both 84 and non-84 layout will be available. Cheers. :p
update #1
It all started because I want a KMAC 2 so badly. So I thought why not I make one myself?
I am sorry for all the confusion due to the beautiful photos of the prototype that have been circulating around. It was made purely just to test the quality of the CNC milling factory. There are 3 more in the making from the different factories. Again, they were made just to test the capability of the factory. I didn't mean to copy 360c, and I don't think it is just "copy" if you look at whole keyboard. Haha.
Anyway, the design of the keyboard is as follow. Something simple. There might be changes in how the brass weight is designed as I have received several warnings. Of course, I am a big fan of Eungsam and I respect his design.
Here's some screenshot of the model. Like I said, how the brass weight is designed will be changed.

And again, I am sorry for the misleading photos and thank you for your attention. Cheers.

This is exactly like the one, but I am a poor fuccboi so you have my interest as long as the design different and it is reasonableWell, that was something I have done for fun :eek:

If this is an example of Korean Manufacturing then you've been ripped off severely. GO back to them and demand a better example of workmanship because I've seen LZ-GH and Kmac2's and they're absolutely spotless in finish and presentation.
Suppose your current manufacturer thought that if he could anodize it all in dark grey that their artistry would be covered up, think again dodgy's >:D .

I should receive the final prototype in a few days time. Then I will work out on the costing and have the group buy up by the end of this week. I am thinking not to make a lot of this, perhaps only 20 units to meet the MOQ. Also not looking forward to make a huge profit out of this, not loosing any money will do.
Nothing fancy, but both 84 and non-84 layout will be available. Cheers. :p

oh my goodness, I was following this for awhile but still was not quite convinced about it when the first prototype came out with horrible cnc flaws.
now you showed the latest photo of that case (different CNC factory i presume?), you have caught my attention.
