[IC] TGR-Jane v2 ver. CE

[katushkin]

Yo.

I'm in.

[82d28a]

Looks good.  Would you consider in filling the all black Jane plate on bottom with color?

[DisplayERROR]

In as well!

[Slash Emperor]

I'd very much love to build a carbon fiber plate custom like this, I think all-black with the multicolor logo plate on the back looks sexy!

[yur1orlov]

Looks amazing, black on black everything would be so sick

[eyedrop]

Wouldn't it be great if everyone who fills out the IC get a spot?   

[b3nkei]

One can only hope 

[Ashardalon]

Perhaps this will be my time to get a TGR product, even though I'm not a massive TKL fan. Would there be any chance of a 910 rerun?

[Mr_BeastQuake]

very interested

I am in on this.  100%.  I hope you find a way to ensure that anyone who wants one can buy one.  I would pay more for the cost of that benefit, as I find I am disappointed with the recent limited runs because there is really no way to get a quality custom without overpaying (though, market price arguably) on the second hand market.  Much love to your works.

+1. Or at least run the GB for a couple of hours, rewards those who really pay attention to TGR.

Whilst I echo the sentiment that it'd be nice if boards were widely available to anyone that wants them, it's an extremely tough ask - not everyone has the time (or just doesn't want to) test, QC, ship, etc 500-1000+ boards, logistics would be a nightmare for anyone without massive help (which is not something everyone wants to go and find/pay/supervise). Additionally, you can't really drive up the GB prices of these higher end "boutique" boards, or I guess in theory you could since people are buying LZs and CEs etc for 2+ grand but still, I don't think anyone in the community wants to see the prices of this, the No2 or other very sought after boards creep even closer or past $600.

Totally agree and understand!

[KingOfMemes]

Limited quantities can bring a different kind of appreciation to the product, though. Even if we aren't talking monetary value, having something very limited can help make it special. This isn't exclusive to keyboards, but keyboards definitely benefit from the practice.

[kevinzavier]

bro how many exclusive keyboards do we need

[otanishock]

As many as there are in my Forum Signature.

The high quantity is probably more gated by quality control and time more than just raw money though sadly.

I think he's already mentioned somewhere it's around the same quantity as V2.

That is the real issue as I understand it. The reason everyone likes these boards is because they are so high quality. In large part because the extensive QC and time/effort/care that goes into them. Moving from ~40-50 to 500+ would seriously diminish the likelihood of being able to achieve that same level of care. It would be nice to see an increase in the amount offered (I'm still trying to get my first TGR board!) but not if it comes at the expense of quality imo.

The low production count is likely what causes Sam to be able to maintain such a high quality standard. I think the people who are asking for these huge runs don't really know the consequences for what they are asking for.

That's probably true, though, and i only speak for myself, it came more from a position of hope not a position of expectation or demand. I don't think people asking for more quant would want it at the cost of quality.

There are a few indications it may be possible to slightly (nothing close to 800) increase the quantity for this run as it has fewer options and "designed changes made to optimise it for larger production".

most people don't know how a GB is run or what goes into running a gb

after running yolch/rr all i want to do is ****post and never do it again

way too much work for any one person to realistically want to do

especially with how some people act once they receive the product

counterpoint: rama makes hundreds of boards (first run of m60 was ~850 boards) held to a similiarly high quality standard

but your point is still valid

Counterpoint: Just as it doesn’t make sense to compare the production output of Rama against Apple’s, you shouldn’t compare Rama to other more hobbyist GB runners either.
I think it’s clear that Rama is meant to be run as a full-time business for those involved, and OP is, well, not.

Rama isn't full time. The squad put in weekends to make those buys happen!

[yuktsi]

What I'd learnt from the last two GBs is that the manufacturers are a lot easier to work with when there's a higher quantity of orders. Especially when there are issues with the parts, the blue anodization colour would also be not possible if I only sent 20 sets of boards for anodization. A lot of things are doable when you are giving them more profit. That really helps in producing higher quality parts. I am still finding the balance between quantity and quality. Because I only have so much time and space to run these GBs.

Anyway, thank you all for taking the time to fill up the interest check form. That helps with a lot of the decision.

+1. Or at least run the GB for a couple of hours, rewards those who really pay attention to TGR.

Will have 20-30% more for this round, and I will allocate most of the spots for the GB over here at GH.

Awesome to hear that we all have a slightly better chance to snag one of these beauties.

I was looking at older tgr IC threads and it seems like a date, time, and a link to the GB will be posted on this IC thread. Is that going to be the same? Or will we need to stalk the GB section

The rest are m3. But you will only need a 2mm allen key for all.

Really like the look on the screws for the weight, makes it look seamless with all of the holes.

Yuktsi, since we are talking about the screws and out of interest...why is the screw hole of the bottom outer frame in the middle slightly off center (and not in line with the middle screw of the weight)?
