[IC] Resonance studios Opus 1 - 65% keyboard

Opus 1 65% keyboard

288871-1


Alexotos Special edition vid:


Georen White E-coat:


IC Form:

Discord:


6063 grade Aluminum for both the top half and the bottom half 
Brass for the weight and the logo
POM for the plate
1.6mm PCB with 2 flexcuts
65% layout with full ANSI layout and ISO Support 
7 degree typing angle
325.6 x 124.1 x 22.6mm and 38mm(At it's highest point)
3.5kg weight
Bottom gasket mount


Updates:



We are also removing the adhesive feet and are going to make them friction fit :)

All variants of the keyboard are yet to be decided for price

We have considered what people have suggested and we have decided to make progress on the changes listed. The blocker is now smaller on the top half, meaning that the 1.25U keys are possible. We have also considered the 7U spacebar and this will be possible with the 1.5U keys and 1U. The logo is also now even, as previously the top border was slightly thinner than the sides.


Resonance studios is a design collective striving to create mechanical keyboards, utilising the most premium materials and finishes through disruptive design. The Opus 1 is Resonance Studios’ debut keyboard.

After purchase of our product it will come with the included PCB and daughter board. The PCB will be available in both the solder and hotswap options. Rubber feet for the bottom of the keyboard will also be included, with an extra two pieces on each sheet. Each keyboard will also come with a carry on hard case and cleaning cloth to keep the mirror finish nice. Poron is the material of choice for the gaskets and we will provide some extra pieces. 

We are going to have a hard limit of 200 units in total, however there will be no limit on how many units you can order of each variant.

Currently the only version of the keyboard that we have a prototype of is the PVD dark nickel/rose gold variant with a full mirror finish. The PVD and mirror finish on all of the pieces of the keyboard will be the special edition of the keyboard. We are also dropping this keyboard in E-coat white and E-coat black with a sand blast finish. These variants will be paired with a dark nickel PVD weight and logo with a mirror finish, with the option of also going with the rose gold for the logo and weight. A black anodised version with a sandblast finish will also be done paired again with a dark nickel PVD weight and logo with a mirror finish, and the optional rose gold weight and logo. As of right now we don't have any prototypes of this keyboard in the new variants but we are waiting on getting them in very soon! We are also planning on pushing out more media of the keyboard IRL instead of just renders.

Our target price range for the PVD dark nickel/rose gold variant is yet to be decided. Same for the other variants of the keyboard


We are planning to launch the group buy somewhere in Q1 2023. Initially we wanted to handle everything on our website, but it seems the attention warrants trying to get some vendors on board if possible

Thank you very much for spending your time today to have a look at our project!


FAQs:

Is there a hotswap version of the PCB?

Yes, there will be both the hotswap and solder version of the PCB available


Is ISO supported?

Yes, the plate has ISO support


What size spacebar do you need for this keyboard?

This keyboard uses a 6.25U spacebar


What is the front height of the keyboard where your hands go?

The front height of the keyboard is 22.6mm. The measurement above is just the highest point of the keyboard when sitting flat.


Is the special edition of the keyboard a finger print magnet?

This variant of the keyboard is a fingerprint magnet which is why we have chosen to go with some more practical finishes. For the people that do like the full mirror finish version there will be a micro fiber cloth included with all keyboards.

Massive fingerprint magnet. It's one thing if the bottom plate is a fingerprint magnet, but the top? I'd rather spend my time typing/working than constantly wiping down my keyboard.

Very good looking keyboard.
This specific version is a fingerprint magnet, so I would wait to see if other versions look more practical.
Also I'll wait to see non special editions prices.

Good luck with the IC!

Thanks for your response! We are working on getting these out right now. We have the ability to take some average pictures with the prototype that we have right now but we are just waiting till we can get some high quality images :)

Thank you so much for your kind words! We are still waiting on getting the manufactured so we won't have actual images of these new finishes for a month or so. We will try and get some hyper realistic renders out of these finishes so that people can get a better idea of what it looks like though in the mean time :)

imo the blocker looks out of place.  It would look better if the upper wall of the case near the blocker wasn't so thin.  Are people still willing to pay 500+ for a 65?

Thank you very much for your suggestions! We are currently working on taking this advice on board. We will post the new changes in this form when we are completed.

This is a beautiful board! That nickel mirror finish with rose gold weight is stunning, and unique enough to really grab my attention. I can appreciate that many won’t like or want it being a fingerprint magnet, but for me it’s the most desirable form of this board and the one I’ll be aiming to buy when it goes live. I’m also lucky that I don’t have “cursed hands” so I’m not too concerned with the fingerprint issue. It’s absolute artwork!  I’ll be keeping track of this one and looking forward to buying one when it goes on sale in the future. Best of luck with this project!!!

have to agree, the front height needs to be redesigned,   even though I hover type anything over 20mm is super annoying to use

Hey, the front height of the keyboard is 22.6mm and the highest point of the keyboard following the 7 degree angle is 38mm  :thumb:

Thank you so much for this comment, we really appreciate it! This was sort of the aim of this board, we just wanted to create art and compromised on the utility. For the people that enjoy it will enjoy it and I'm glad you do! We have other finishes that are more practical for people that want that as well :)

Thank you very much! We have actually taken into consideration what people have been saying and we now have 7U spacebar support and the blocker is smaller so that this is now possible. We will have proto photos soon, just waiting for production :cool:

Thank you very much, we are glad you have enjoyed the new images! I think we hope to run it sometime in Q1 2023, we have been delayed a little bit. We are waiting to see if any Streamers or Youtubers would be kind enough to build our keyboard on stream right now, and when that happens is most likely when we will have the capacity to open the GB.

Looking forward to Clackbait’s video review of this board & to the GB starting in the next month or two! Seems there’s been a lot more interest and hype building for this one, and I get why with the very unique and high end design elements and the great sound to it from what I’ve seen so far. 👍

I am so excited for his video it is insane! This has got more attention than I initially expected so I think we might have a change of plans and try and get some vendors on board if possible. It seems more sensible since the scope is out of our reach now. Thank you!!

Thank you! It is unfortunate that we had to increase it this much, but the original pricing was planned neglecting the need for vendors. Seeing the market now, we realised that vendors are pretty important to have and it helps minimise and logistical error. Our weight is also 2.5kg of brass lol
