Are there any protos of this thing, and will people be actually receiving review units, because this project is red flag city otherwise. Like you haven't decided on colours, yet running a group buy in like 20 days. This is just really strange.

Of course we have the real thing, and will send out to people to do reviews, sorry maybe I should have expressed more clearly, in fact we have our own spraying factory, so do not worry about the color problem, just a small part of the color is doing some modifications, so temporarily did not release out

Ahh, I'm sorry about that, it's my first time to send IC of Keyboard so I'm not experienced enough, I'll try to do better, thanks for your suggestion

Also I have some questions, can't aluminum be sprayed, isn't Spray coat a common way to process aluminum case in costume keyboard?
Anyway, let me explain the PVD in the purchase page, because we have almost 20 customizable colors, which means there are quite a lot of combinations (Case+Weight+Color), I don't think it is more convenient for you to set a link to each combination like other stores do, because then you will have a lot of links to go through, so I I have set the "Weight Material" and "Weight Color" options. If you choose "Brass PVD" or "SS PVD" for "Weight Material", it means you don't need to choose a specific color for "Weight Color", because PVD itself represents his This means you don't need to select a specific color on "Weight Color", because PVD itself represents its luster and appearance, so you just need to select PVD on "Weight Color", because the store requires it to be selected, so we have no choice but to do it this way, and this is the best way I can think of

If you have a better idea, please let me know and I'll listen to your suggestions, thank you very much!

I think it's just the grammar and the way you worded it. "Spray-coated" aluminium makes more sense in this context.

Also not the biggest fan of the font on the weight, but at this price point I can't complain too much.

Any chance for more plates or at the very least plate files? What's the lead time after GB ends?

Prototype photos, sound test, and considering regional vendors would be nice too.

Thank you very much for the advice!!! It solved a lot of my confusion and thanks to your suggestion, we will consider adding Plate and removing the front on weight in the next design.

GB Date:About 6/20---7/20

And Photos and reviews will be posted in half a month,but we will not consider regional vendor for now

It can be, the process is known as TSA; Thermally Sprayed Aluminium.

It's a very expensive process and requires lots of preparation of the surface material.

The usual methods for keyboards are either (1) e-coating+paint (electrodeposition coating), or (2) anodization. Both these processes involve dipping the keyboard chassis in a solution and applying an electrical current. E-coating is just the primer, and the color is applied as a top coat with a normal or acrylic paint spray. Anodization does the coloring as well, but of course it requires one "bath tub" per color.

What kind of gasket mount does this keyboard use?
Would be nice if there is an exploded render of the keyboard, or a photo of the internal case.

Can you post total sales per top color? :D
Or in percent if you prefer?

Like:
Color 1: 3%
Color 2: 11%
etc

I'm so curious what people picked.
