Prototypes for potential keyboard bags. Although I'm partial to white w/ black accents, we can use whatever color we want on either of these two designs. High quality webbing straps and strong nylon material.
Retail would likely be between $30 - $40 / bag. I'd also like to put our 'M' logo somewhere on the bag (corner or centered).
Both designs hold fullsize keyboards. Please let me know your thoughts.

any chance of TKL and/or 60% models?
-
can it hold multiple keyboards?
-
I'd only be interested in a TKL or HHKB size I am afraid.
-
yeah if there is one for tkl i would buy. i really like the white one :)
-
I think it's pretty expensive since it doesn't seem rigid at all.
Also, nobody uses a fullsized keyboard :P.
And I'd like to be able to carry my laptop with my keyboard ^^.

Lol no, using AutoCAD or Excel without a number pad would be a pain in my bumhole

separate numpad ftw :P.

These look ok but a little... busy. I wish I could have gotten my sleeve design off the ground but I have too much going on all the time for that to be viable now.

That's 'cause the rigidity will come from the Model M or XTant you'll be putting in there.
I like the design.

In for a white tkl version!
-
In for 2 black full size bags.
-
I'd buy one if it was a tenkeyless size.

Originally, everyone was asking for Full Size since EKB already had 2 TKL versions. It seems the sentiment has changed lol.
I figured there may some value here is it would accommodate a full size keyboard and offer a lower price point than the $50 bags on EKB.
Thanks for everyone's feedback! Helpful as always :)
p.s. - Other than Starcraft, I absolutely require a Fullsize keyboard. Spreadsheets with no 10-key, not a chance. Also, not a fan of separate numpad as it's two things to plug in instead of one. Is everyone typing on TV trays now? That extra 3 inches of desk space seems to be so vital to all the enthusiasts. Don't get me wrong, I do see the sex appeal. I just miss the functionality of my full size.

You tell them, I have 2 full sizes and a poker. Totally opposite sides of the keyboard size scale

As you said...it's the sex appeal :)

I have been typing on a keyboard without numpad for a while, before I bought my mech keyboard.
So I already didn't need it.

less keyboard width = improved ergo = win
Reaching for that mouse blows after a few miles a day.

I knew it!

I do agree with this point and it isn't one I fully considered. What I have noticed though is that my hatred for 'mouse reaching' has forced me to learn more keyboard shortcuts ;)
-
Smaller KBs have even MORE shortcuts ;)

I wish I could have gotten my sleeve design off the ground
I was sad to see this project fade away. I was sold on the simple neoprene sleeve for a board.
Reaching for that mouse blows after a few miles a day.
And that was the reason for my switch to TKL, right there. The strain on my shoulder/neck was getting out of hand when I used my full size. The lack of the numpad hurt me for a few days, but then I realized that was missing the 'Enter' key on the numpad more than the actual pad.
I'd be interested in the white version for a TKL, especially, since it looks like we're getting competitive prices in the bag market.

Let's custom it?
I also need a good bag...
