Dear all, after encountering some issues with Reddit and Geekhack which made us unable to post for roughly a week, we’ve been forced to extend the GB by 15 days, the end now being the 15th of June.

GB Duration: May 1 - June 15

Estimated Fulfilment Date: Mid To Late August - Early September

Cost: £300 + Shipping (Approx £30).

Specs:
Layout: 60%, GH60 Style Compatible.
Colours: White and Black.
Typing Angle: 5 Degrees.
Material: Carrara or Nero Marquina Marble.
Mounting: Tray or Gummy O-Ring, Via Removable Stand Offs.
Unbuilt Weight: 2.25KG.
Included: Marboard (1), Stand Offs, Feet, O-Ring and a Freddo.

Today we announce on Geekhack the group buy for the Marboard (1). We made this keyboard because we wanted a premium, handmade, non-mass produced product that was truly unique, and stone seemed to be a good place to start.
Thus was the concept for the Marboard (1) born: A fully marble, handmade 60% case available in Carrara (White) and Nero Marquina (Black) variants. It has an EKH of 30mm, a typing angle of 5 degrees, and a weight of 2.5kg.
The Marboard (1) allows for Gummy O-Ring gasket mounting and tray mounting via removable standoffs.
After posting the ICs we have decided we are going to have a MOQ of 10 and a soft cap of 20.

The GB started on the 1st of May, and will last until June 15th. We hope to ship within two months. It is priced at £300 + Shipping, which will be about £30 depending on where you live.

Configuration Options:
White or black marble.
Tray or gummy o-ring mounting.

Shipping:
Shipping world wide, from the UK, normally around the £30 mark.

Looking good! The inside look quite rough, will it be polished in the production unit?
