This looks like at least 3 years behind or maybe more... Look at the market.The design is alright, its a niche design I think, being a simple rectangle, but yeah idk about the price at 20 moq
while the board looks fine, this is way too expensive for a prety unoriginal design made of 6061 aluminum. i feel like this design has been done like 20 times. increase your MOQ to get a better price.I've been in contact with the factory and haven't decided between 6061 and 6063 yet. It was designed for my personal collection so if theres not much moq, i wll be just making only one for me
Yes I know its expensive. But theres no way I can bring the price down with the moq of 20. What the factory told me is that the price of the aluminum has gone up lately and by making only one it will be more than 800usd. Maybe I should look for local factories, but the ones I know are closed or just to busy like geonThis looks like at least 3 years behind or maybe more...

look nice, have you order your prototype yet? can you show us the mounting? ne internal picture?I will be ordering my prototype after the weekend ends. Its a same mount as whale.
Have you even looked at what other tkls are selling for?
In less than a week the cloudline goes for sale at 585$. That board has a better design, uses better material, and costs less. Same goes for pretty much every other popular tkl thats been sold recently.
So tell me, why would I, or anyone else, buy this?

a lot of the price is contribute by the MOQ, Cloudline is running at a 600+ moq and this is a 20 moq, so this kinda explain the price similarity even if the material on Cloudline is better, the other reason for why someone would get this over cloudline is if they like whale mounting, and if you are trying to get popular board, its not always the case that you will actually be able to get one
not that I'm saying this board is not expensive tho, but I still feel like this is an understandable price if its coming from a good manufacturer
You are aware that you sound like a complete a**hole tho right?
You have to factor in everything that may contribute to the high price. Even though 750 for this board is very hard to swallow it is logical.

Why would I, as a consumer, consider any of that? Because I feel bad for the designer?
It doesn't matter what the reasons are for the price, the only thing that matters to me (or anyone else) is the quality of the board and whether the price is right.
and yeah i might, but maybe OP needs to hear this because idk what he's thinking.

Honestly I can't get why you are so upset and put this much effort trying to persuade anyone that this is not a proper item.
Now don't get me wrong, I would not pay 750 bucks for this either. And You, sir, have all the rights not to buy this one, no one is forcing you to.
Im a big fan of TKLs and is quite fond of the classic "corsa-esque" design.
Is it possible to explore other cheaper manu options and increase the overall quantity of units?

im not upset at all. I dont understand why youre upset with me calling out all the obvious mistakes in this IC. This is the free market bro, u put something half assed out here and u get flamed. As you should.
and im not trying to persuade anybody not to buy this, I dont think ill have to unless he makes huge changes to the board or price.

I see several criticisms that suggest changing MOQ, searching for different manufacturer, etc. Then I see 2 comments who calls out on OP rather than not making any comments or show interest so
this thread either die silently or make better changes.
But I guess since making comments on you it makes me the same. Since I'm not interested at this project as is, I'll keep my word true to myself and just move on.
I highly suggest you to do the same, it's better for your time and effort.

Because you said the price estimate is 550-750? Is it wrong to believe information that you gave?Have you even looked at what other tkls are selling for?

For some funny reason everyone is talking about the price 750. And I clearly said in the text, the price has not been set. I am still contatcting multiple factories from multiple countries to make the price down. Cant understand why they are focusing on the price 750.
I like the generic Korean looking design but this is way to expensive for mePrice haven't been set yet but I am aiming for 550 maximum
