the keyboard is ready in all its parts. We just have to put everything together and check that all components fit nicely. Unfortunately every small error requires a lot of time to be fixed (change the project, send to China, wait for the production of the prototype, ...).

Anyway we are on track for Christmas. I will really soon post a report of all the process with a lot of pictures!

Thanks for the update, glad to see it's still on track for Christmas time. :thumb:

Have you thought of a more definite price yet?

I'm aiming at $150 all included, but don't quote me on that :)

I'm also working on a "special edition" that probably will be a tad more expensive... but it's so darn sexy! You'll see

Ooh very exciting, I've always been a fan of your projects so I'm curious to see what you're coming up with. Anywhere around $150 sounds fantastic in my opinion, it seems relatively cheap for a nice custom.

keycaps

Something besides DSA?

They are cherry replica in PBT.
Keycaps included for 150$ total? This is a very interesting layout and if that is your targeted price point you will likely run a very successful buy with this.

Still waiting on the CAD files

No pressure or anything :D

working on it... I just got my CNC router and I'm busy setting it up :D

I believe the English word for "pore filler" is sealer or sealant.  The substance "seals" all the gaps and protects the wood, like you described.

thanks!
Any hopes of posting the cad files as mentioned?
