Slipline - R1
MoreThis is Slipline, my first small-scale stock keyboard buy.
Slipline is a 69-key 68% layout keyboard, inspired by my very first keyboard, the Qisan Magicforce 68. It has some quirks to it that make it slightly unique. The right shift and bottom row of this keyboard are currently fixed. I envision it to stay this way to chop down on variants during production which will make future runs of the board much easier to produce in a timely manner. During this initial run of 30 boards, I have two variants. The board has no weight, as I don't really like weights that serve no aesthetic purpose when the keyboard is laid flat down. However, the bottom piece, in future runs, will use different materials, which could increase the weight by a lot. An entirely brass bottom sounds fun. Each run of this board will feature two different color sets, and materials will vary over runs. Runs will be small, and hopefully we can make parts interchangeable so that if you're really after a certain configuration you'll be able to trade for it. My board features a 6.9 degree angle, and a seamless, top mounted design. RGB underglow is available on the PCB for this run's polycarbonate bottom and hopefully, future runs of the board with opaque case materials. I'm already thinking polycarb top cases and smoky polycarb bottoms. We've spent a while refining this and I really hope you enjoy how it looks.
Slipline has been in project stage for over a year now. Notably, the board's major design language was thought of in January of 2019 while I was using keyboards as a creative outlet for recovery after a breakup in late 2018. The PCB and CAD work were done by hineybush of hineybush Keyboards. Napkin drawings and a business model were and will be provided by yours truly.

Extra PCBs will be available at $40 each if purchased with the board, then $45 each onwards.
This is not a group buy.
Part of the cost of this board comes from the fact that when you buy it, you will receive it most likely, within a week. I fronted the total cost for these boards to be able to work on it at my convenience. This round is, however, a Limit 1 per customer FCFS sale.
QCing will happen live on stream (http://twitch.tv/krelbit), with boards going up one by one as they are QC'd. For a better idea of when to tune in, follow me on twitch, or join the Switchmod Keyboards Discord (http://discord.switchmod.net), and opt into the Twitch and/or Slipline roles.
QC streams will happen across multiple days, because I am not a masochist. But they will all happen concurrently.
If you're international, start looking for international proxies. Shipping within the US will cost $30, but shipping internationally will use the most expensive shipping available, and as a flat rate i will be charging $120 USD. I do not want to ship internationally. You will most likely save $30-50 usd by using a proxy.
Thank you very much for reading, I hope you're interested in this weird pet project I've had going on for a long time.
