[IC] TGR-Tris CE

[yuktsi]

Next project after all the Jane are shipped 

Design:
Tris is a beautiful numpad  Simple, elegant, top mounting for plate and most importantly, it has brass weight!!! That means the numpad is heavy, we all love heavy boards.

Top
Left, middle and right. I have not decided which will be the final design.
Please tell me which do you like best 
Personally, I like the middle one the most.
But prototype will be produced for all 3 designs



Bottom
True beauty lies underneath the board. I am still having some difficulty in obtaining Tris' signature.
I promise I will work harder on that.   




Prototyping:
The prototyping shall commence next week. Expected to finish by the end of February.
So yeah, if everything goes smoothly, we should expect the groupbuy in early March.

Price:
$180-$200

Quantity:
25-30 (excluding Jane R1 owners)


I will update more as soon I got the signature from Tris. Cheers!

[FrostyToast]

Not even sure why you'd need to check for interest...
In. Unless I don't spot the GB thread within the hour it's posted.

PS: Create a mailing list so that we know when the GB goes up? Don't want to miss this ****

[quochung1989]

Continue interested & support for your projects 

[romevi]

Need one for my Jane, please.

[HoffmanMyster]

What would a non-numbered numpad look like?

These are numbered like 1/XX, I believe.

This will be very intriguing, but personally I'd love another chance at a TKL. 

[KnivesM]

Definitely interested

[Zanduby]

I've been looking for a numpad to go along with my poker so i'm interested.

[tuantruong]

Somehow I read the title as TGR-Trix and thought you will make a fullsize keyboard. LOL

So the design and color would match both the Jane R1 and CE right?

[joey]

Looking forward to the Jane60

I was planning to have a break after the Janes
But somehow something happened today and I am kinda motivated now

This.

[Steezus]

Don't quote me on this but I believe that it may only be for the r1 Jane owners to match their board and have the same number on the brass plate. At least that's what we were told in the beginning, maybe things have changed and he'll make more.

[romevi]

Don't quote me on this

Quoting you harshly.

[alienman82]

removed.

[ImAWildDeer]

Want.

Haha I'm sure you know a little bit about this when he sent out the message to Jane owners.

It certainly seems like the spots will be restricted because a board that I bought from yuktsi came with a spot in this groupbuy.

I was just talking to yuktsi, he said it'll most likely be just for r1 Jane owners but he posted this to see how much interest it would gather. There's still a possibility that he may make more for other users but the priority at the moment is to get them for the r1 Jane Owners.

And people who have reserved spots...

Oh I thought that you bought a Jane off of him.

[trenzafeeds]

Oh I thought that you bought a Jane off of him.

Nah, it was a AMJ board. The last like five things he's sold on classifieds have come with special kraps that guarantee you a spot in this buy. I imagine the "r1 jane" umbrella extends to the CE as well though, correct?

[beehatch]

do want

[WinterIsle]

Acryl, please!

I'm not so sure about a spot for the CE owners. He never asked/told me about it for CE. I know that the numpad will look exactly like the r1 Jane with the full walls on each side and have a matching brass plate that has the same number to go with the Jane numbers. So I'm not so sure for the CE as the designs will look different.

Quoted. That kind of sucks if this is true but I don't mind as it makes sense and has more spots than just owners.

[Danboard]

Definitely need in on this!

oh **** please

I confirmed with yuksti that it's definite for r1 Jane owners and the others he gave spots to. The only question left for debate is whether he will sell more to others or not.

Sorry I'm not trying to be the bearer of bad news, just don't want people to get their hopes up and then be disappointed. There is still a chance but this is part of my discussion with him on Skype.

[11:44:53 AM] Steezus: Hey yuktsi how many of the numpads are you planning on selling for the group buy? Are you doing more than the Jane owners?
[11:45:11 AM] yuktsi: haha
[11:45:15 AM] yuktsi: I am still thinking
[11:45:19 AM] yuktsi: most probably not

[azhdar]

Does Jane owners also mean Jane-Ce owners?

Seems silly to have a thread for an IC with absolutely nothing to present doesn't it?  Especially since it's now been confirmed that people who might want in likely won't be allowed to get in.

All the best with this BTW

I will have some renders up soon and definitely will re evaluate my capability to see if I am capable of making more in the next round if the response is good
That's the purpose of having an interest check thread right?

[daviswalkers]

I'm very interested!

There is no point to having an IC thread for a group buy that is private.  If you're interested in running future rounds of this board for the public to purchase, it would make sense to create an IC thread at that time.  At this point, this is just needless hyping.

Also, it's pretty clear that the interest is there.  So if you'd like to start discussing options, layouts, etc, you are more than welcome to do so.    But as the OP stands right now, there is no content to check interest for.
