Hi everyone!
It has been quite a while since we have updated on this project, sorry for that. Here are the current updates on the project.
Manufacturers We have decided to keep the manufacturer of the first prototype. The proto had its issues, but those were mainly caused by bad instructions given by us. Apart from the bezel not being polished enough and the USB cutout being machined wrong the proto was quite nice, and feedback of people who saw the board at the NorCal meetup was overwhelmingly positive. We are now in talks again with the factory about getting revised cases before Chinese New Year. The factory has sent us this picture of a newly made top piece. It obviously lacks anodisation but shows the way better polishing compared to the first prototype.
Finishes To best fit the stylish/vintage aesthetic of this board and keep the failure rate as low as possible we will be offering a set select finishes for the M0110. The current choices are the following:
- Anodised silver
- Anodised space gray
- Cerakoted beige
- Cerakoated black
Feel free to suggest other options or changes, but consider this list final for now.
Vendors John has decided to run the GB on his new site,
deskcandy.xyz. David and Yuliia from
Mykeyboard.eu will again provide proxying services to stop those high shipping costs and customs fees for my fellow Europeans. As for now, the plan is to keep it at 2 proxies since Europe and the US are the 2 main regions from which interest was shown, however with enough request more regions could be added to that list à la 9009.
Thank you all for the enormous support thus far, I can genuinely say that everyone working on this project is very excited to bring this board to your desk
