[IC] Stark Keyboard V2.1 A Simple Ortho with arrows
« on: Mon, 26 August 2019, 11:01:53 »
Bonjour Geekhack,

Long time lurker here, I have been experimenting with many new mounting styles and I believe that I have an amazing concept for you all. I have a multiple flex cut pcb with a clear aluminium plate with pom reinforcement. This is on top of the leaf spring mount with full isolation gaskets. This is expected to go into group buy next month with a Wilba.tech pcb confirmed.

The prototype has been ordered and we are waiting for it to arrive. It is manufactured with a local factory in Shenzen where we can expect TGR levels of quality.

225171-0225173-1

Pricing for kits is
Founders Edition
850USD + shipping. These are serialised limited edition with split weights and clear aluminium leaf spring plates that have never been seen before. This is priced tentatively and may change according to demand (wink wink, Vickery Auction...)

Regular Edition
260 shipped for full ALU with no extras.

If you have any questions or enquiries, I will try to get back to you after my holiday which starts tomorrow.

Thanks for reading. Hope you are interested.

-qw3

Good on you for using Vickery Auctions. I think that is a proper way to go about the founders edition board

I have called Wilba at an ungodly hour to confirm this PCB is in fact confirmed and that this IC is legitimate.

Can I see a render of the back please?

Perhaps one day you can show me how to make renders like you do!


The mounting system is leaps and bounds better than version 1.1 too! Good job.

M8 I think you are roughly 5 months too late or 7 months too early. Very amazing renders though.

This was originally a private group buy but because I wanted to see how it'd fare in the community I posted an IC. The design choices were all practical to ensure maximum flex and stability. I previously forgot to mention that the new F series Wilba Pcb is wireless and that's also a feature. Due to the rushed nature of this IC, full renders are incomplete with an ETA of 2 weeks from my *guy*. Thanks for the support.
