Thanks for sharing your project! You made an awesome job in the presentation, with clear information. Very much underrated nowadays.
Personally, the design didn't resonate with me, so I wouldn't buy it even if it was super cheap. Still, I believe you deserve to receive feedback that could help you in this project.
The big elephant in the room, which you may have already noticed, is the price.
My opinion is aligned with what was shared above, and it will be very difficult to achieve MOQ. My take is that even if you could lower the value to something like $350 + VAT, it will still struggle.
So, my personal suggestion would be for you to explore other options to improve the keyboard, while maintaining the price tag but for a lower MOQ (something like MOQ = 30).
Things I would consider improving/working on:
- more options for the mounting (it could be hard for a single-piece design, but not impossible).
- design of the plates, to have fewer cutouts.
- share the weight of the board with the weight.
These are just suggestions, so please take that with a grain of salt, and just move forward with the vision that you feel comfortable with.
Wish you all the best with the IC.
