Looking good, sounds amazing. Super interested in this.

AbstraktDesignLab · « **Reply #11 on:** Thu, 02 May 2019, 16:10:09 »

I am SO interested in this. I have wanted more fully plastic keyboard cases out there, but that are truly high quality. Awesome work, dude.

tex_live_utility · « **Reply #12 on:** Thu, 02 May 2019, 17:06:54 »

What's the melting point of this stuff? Wondering if it's possible to Cerakote (which can be baked at relatively low temperatures if needed).

Edit: is there any chance of that sweet oil spill finish on the weight in this one?

eskimojo · « **Reply #13 on:** Thu, 02 May 2019, 18:01:08 »

Super interesting - looks hot. Any chance of ISO support in a plate?

PotatoTM · « **Reply #14 on:** Thu, 02 May 2019, 18:23:46 »

Super interesting, going to follow along

snelltrail · « **Reply #15 on:** Thu, 02 May 2019, 18:42:06 »

Sounds pretty nice, especially with the creams!

Nice selection of plate materials as well

Fixed ISO plates will be available and plate files will be open sourced during GB phase.

I've been told that POM (Acetal) can be cerakoted, but will test to make sure.

For PVD finish options, I will post a poll soon.

Is this going to be 3 pieces or just 2? One of the pictures shows its 2 pieces and one shows as though its broken up into 3 similar to the MINIVan keyboard below

super interested in this, always excited for unique materials

what plate material was the typing test done with?

Slash Emperor · « **Reply #26 on:** Fri, 03 May 2019, 13:58:44 »

That looks beautiful, I'd love to put a set like GMK Stormtrooper on this.

Very interested in this. It sounds so good. Any chance of there being a thick ~4mm POM plate?

Top piece, bottom piece, plate, and optional internal weight

Rob27shred · « **Reply #31 on:** Fri, 03 May 2019, 23:23:57 »

This is awesome! I personally think plastic cases have a better sound signature with tactile switches so this is right up my alley. The design is really nice also, the WKL top looks particularly nice IMO. The one question I would ask though is why just white? I think this case would look great in black!

ian13 · « **Reply #33 on:** Sat, 04 May 2019, 11:02:36 »

Oof, love that sound with NK cream switches! Super interested on this!

By the way, how resistant is POM from scratches and dirt/discoloration if I may just ask?

reidd · « **Reply #34 on:** Sat, 04 May 2019, 17:36:33 »

Were the creams lubed or stock?

Rensuya · « **Reply #35 on:** Sat, 04 May 2019, 18:30:59 »

I think Peaches n Cream goes pretty nice with this POM

Oohhhhh. That looks great

That's really awesome! I will definitely buy one if there is space for a battery =.=

Will you release plates files after IC is over for folks who want to put a custom layout in the case?

bunanapeel · « **Reply #44 on:** Mon, 06 May 2019, 17:47:37 »

I'll definitely buy one when it comes time, really interesting having a full POM board.

Might go for a brass plate extra just to switch up the sound a bit.

How much does it weigh with and without the internal weight?

nickaster1 · « **Reply #47 on:** Mon, 06 May 2019, 21:14:34 »

And also, would the surface be smooth or is it a little frigid?

Mind sharing how resistant is POM from scratch and dirt/discoloration?

Approximately 2lbs w/o weight and 2.5lbs w/ weight

Quote from: nickaster1 on Mon, 06 May 2019, 21:14:34

The surface is soft to touch but feels rigid. Hope that makes sense.

POM is very durable and scratch resistant.
