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

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