ClickClack.io Will Be Re-running The GB!
ClickClack updated IC
https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=119998.0 (http://)
Heya folks!
As the BEAK 6.5 is entering production, I wanted to show you our newest offering.
INTRODUCTION
The spectacle is a one-of-a-kind design featuring a soothing curve as its side profile, making it pleasing to look at.
We wanted to take make something eye-catching while keeping the design subtle and gentle.
Taking advantage of the available technology, the Spectacle utilizes 5 axis CNC machining.
We took a lot of notes in terms of critiques people had with our previous launch and tried to incorporate all the requested features
Whether we achieved that is for you to judge
THE CURVE
The soothing curve on the side profile is the main kicker for the Spectacle.
Utilizing 5 axis CNC machining to achieve the look.

So the brass looking weight is actually just anodized alu? Or is brass bottom gonna be an option?

As of now it is set to be anodized brass color.
Might do a limited run of brass bottom variants depending on feedback! :)

A few gripes however, the sides are a main selling point yet there's no renders of a proper side profile of the keyboard, only slightly in the exploded view of the board. Moreover, 8 internal screw points is rather overkill in a design like this, specially when it's a "seamless" design; could get away with 4 and save a little bit of unnecessary machine time as well as reducing possible points of failure in production.
On top of providing a proper side profile render, one of the bottom would be nice as there isn't one in the post (at least that I can see). Also, you say the front height is 18.9mm but where is this measured from? An effective front height would be nice to have as I assume 18.9 is the height of the front lip.
Finally just a minor concern that you might want to check just in case, make sure to measure the bottom of the screw holes on the lower side of the case bottom to the other side. That part looks awfully thin as it is so it may cause issues down the line if the material at bottom of the screw hole is under 1mm in thickness.
Overall, not really my thing but I appreciate the pricing as well as some elements of the design. GLWIC

Very valid points, I will make sure to provide more renders of side profiles, plate bottom. As well as measurements!
Will update tomorrow

And may I add, are you planning to have this in GB after fully delivering the Beak correct?
Post by: Stilou Studio on Tue, 25 January 2022, 08:20:28
Where is this shipped from, Denmark?
And may I add, are you planning to have this in GB after fully delivering the Beak correct?
It will ship from Denmark yes.
The GB will most likely start before the Beak ships

It will ship from Denmark yes. The GB will not start until the Beaks have been shipped (unless there are some major delays)
Even with major delays, since you are not using a vendor, for trust within the community I would always wait for beaks to be delivered before starting this one.

Will these be manufactured locally in Denmark as well? The price leads me to believe they're not but just thought I'd ask.
They will not, as far as I am concerned there are no real positives to machining in Denmark compared to overseas.

Typing test has been added - keep in mind the stabs are scuffed due to me accidentally orienting them the wrong way... (Whops)

Would be so down for a real brass option down the line!
Strongly considering brass bottom as an option. Although the price will be $449 so I am not sure I can reach MOQ for the brass.

My 2c - with the 5 axis CNC this won’t be a cheap board. If I’m going to get a premium board I’ll expect brass/SS/copper bottom.

I hear you, I am also considering doing an SE version, collaborating with a patina artist to get a special brass look. (This will be an in-stock offering after the GB if it happens)
