Title: [IC] Geekhack Wrist Rest
Post by: Marclgw on Tue, 09 October 2012, 22:00:48
LOGO

Note: The "Geekhack" will be done by making a Brass Mould with the fonts to be stamped on the wrist rest upon completion.


Planning to use the below font,
(http://thumbs2.ebaystatic.com/d/l225/m/m_ShN0ksYEr_1SWM5U75_RA.jpg)

As well as the Dimension of the word Geekhack?


[I need someone who is able to do out the chosen fonts on words or make it into any picture format to be submitted for mould making]


2. Material
   
    Material for the wrist rest will be synthetic leather.

    Genuine Leather is available for Black color only.

    Colors available [AFAIK]:
   
     

3. Threading Colors

    To make the wrist rest stand out more , the threading on the sides of the wrist rest must be of a contrasting color.

     Eg. Navy Blue Leather with White Thread etc.

     (http://forums.vr-zone.com/photopost/data/500/medium/20120310_142347.jpg)


     Orange , Red , Blue , White , Black

     
4. Combination of color of wrist rest plus threading

    To finalise the few models that we will have.

    We need to list down the best combination to make the wrist rest.

     ALL IDEAS WELCOME!



5. Positioning of the Logo

     BOTTOM RIGHT HAND CORNER (similar to Ducky and Filco)
   


6. Base of the Wrist Rest

    Base will be a hard anti slip rubber like textile to prevent the use of 4 rubber feets at each end to increase the height of the wrist rest.

    ONLY AVAILABLE IN BLACK

   

Some images of how it may look like at the end.

Interested in a white one with red stiching, TKL size.  Position of the logo should be front right like Ducky below (I believe Filco's logo is in the same location).

Interessted in 1 fullsize, 1 TKL and if you end up making 60% I would be interessted in two of those as well. Depends on the final prize though.

Wristwrest matching some of the round4 sets would be really cool, like black/grey for the dolce, White and blue for the retro or black and orange.

Title: Re: [IC] Geekhack Wrist Rest
Post by: jeroplane on Wed, 10 October 2012, 03:00:43
Interested in the TKL.

I agree that the best positioning for the logo would be on the lower right corner of the rest.

Not too fussed about the colours, but the safe bet would be black leather with whatever stitching. Could do GH colours and use orange thread, but that wouldn't match many boards. Personally I think the idea of navy leather + white stitching would look great.

This is a great idea - interested in how it will price!

Roger that on the positioning of the logo.
2ndly, for red stiching , we will have to base on what majority of the people prefer before we have a go.
I will most likely let this run for the next 2-4 days and gather more information before finalising on the color of thread each different color wrist rest.

Interested in a wrist rest for 104 keyboards  :))

Any Particular color or threading preferred?

I'm interested in two, a 104 and a tenless.

Black with red stitching and white with a baby blue or orange would look cool

Noted, as mentioned to reaper on the first reply, the finalise combination of leather and stiching combination will be out base on the number of request from people who express interest in this thread.

I'm in for a full size white, with whatever stitching. Maybe orange....

Roger, Your prototype are about done .

I'm In for a 104 keyboard.
Would like to know EXACT pricing and what the total would be each wrist rest + shipping.

I would want a black pad with black threading.. Is It mandatory to have the "Geek Hack" stamped onto the wrist pad?

THANKS!

Firstly, since this is a Geekhack Wrist Rest, it would be best to have it on every single wrist rest after all we're part of the Geekhack family isn't it =D

I would not be able to address to you the confirmed shipping cost yet as shipping charges are base on weight. As of now we do not have a confirmed figure yet of the number of pieces we will be doing.



How about custom threading? And possibly free shipping base on the numbers ordered? :D

Oh and I want a 60%

Hi Elton5354,

Chances are no custom threading as factory will be producing in bulk instead of doing it piece by piece. Free shipping will be unlikely, but godly prices will tempt you still =D.

I will see if we need a MOQ to make the 60% . Would be good if someone can provide me with the dimensions for the 60% wrist rest .

I'd be after a 60%. Black leather and white stitching.

Roger

Interested in a black 104 with red or orange stitching.  Agree that the logo should be in the lower right corner of the pad.

Personally, I'd size it so the characters were sized to match a keycap face plus ascenders and descenders.

OTOH, I think it would look good -- and nicely professional -- with an imprint to match the current website logo.

Since it sounds like we won't be to do too many color combinations, I would like at least one option that is very neutral and will look good with any board like black leather with black stitching.

Personally I would also be very interessted in one with white leather and if possible blue stitching but another color stitching would be fine too. But I would probably buy other color combinations as well if thats what we end up going with.

After some thinking, add a tkl black with red stitching to my order. And to help get the ball rolling, a 60% black with orange stitching.
As for the logo, I do like the idea of the sites current logo. Stamped on the bottom right of course.

Oh and.....woo! Prototypes!

Post by: Burz on Wed, 10 October 2012, 14:01:26
I'd be interested if the price is reasonable. My preference would be to get one as long as possible (104+), because I always end up shifting the pad for both keyboard and mouse use.

The initial logo and placement look nice. The only thing I'd be concerned about is if it would wear down too quickly.

FWIW I've already got one wrist rest that's perfect... an old Belkin ErgoPad Premiere (the only thing from Belkin I ever liked). It is flat foam rubber with an equally thick layer of gel underneath, and a plastic base underneath. After 12 or 13 years its starting to wear out. I don't like gel-only rests.

Please remember that when these are produced and if the makers want $70+ on their product then the QUALITY has to be up there like Filco Palm Rests.

I've got two already and they are near as perfect as palm rests could be.  Made out of Genuine Leather, absolutely no flex and weigh in quite a bit.  So if you are dealing with Chinese Manufacturers make them understand that the higher the price tag then the Quality has to really be there.

Also pre-production prototypes need to be sent and because the op who started this Group Buy will be in receivership, then he/she needs to provide detailed photos, examination of the rests before it progresses any further.

and i agree with Elrick, if this sucker is $20 bucks or so, i won't be really picky about the quality
But if we're talking 50-70, it better be the same firmness and durability as my Filco ones lol

If we get a price tier we will be ready for the group buy. There are always people that will buy no matter what the price, especially if it has geekhack on it.

Oh, I just saw the colour options for the stitches. Orange then!

Geekhack colors!

Brain flash just to annoy the OP:

Orange on Charcoal to match the OCKC GB!  That would look sweet!

(Apologies for my poor Photoshop skills.)

I don't understand this:

Quote
Material for the wrist rest will be synthetic leather.

    Genuine Leather is available for Black color only.

Does it mean that there is genuine leather available (but only in black colour) or you can only choose the "non-genuine" leather from any of the colours mentioned?

Yeah some people are just to loyal to Geek Hack!

So, why are you here then?

Loyalty has nothing to do with it.  He chose Orange and Charcoal because it's a good colour match and it roughly resembles this Forum's Logo.... go figure.  There is still negative feedback from other's here about this choice.  Believe it or not, you still have some here who hate this place........

If he wants to put the name "Geekhack" onto the wrist rests then he should look at giving some money over to mkawa as a measure of thanks for using the name on a product.  It's only fair.

No love for the poker ??    <<ediit nvm I see some in the list, lez do diss
I will be all over this if you make a Poker/HHKB size one, because there is no such thing available any where that I have seen

No idea on colour right now though

I made this for fun.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AmJnoAaokKYxdEVkdDNoQ19pMmdneHMwaEIxQzdtX2c

I have a question..
Not really related to this thread BUT It might serve a purpose..

(Small box that's about half a pound In weight)
USPS First Class International Mail $4-5 ($7'ish with Insurance + Tracking)
USPS Priority Mail (International) $12.99 ($14.50'ish with Insurance + Tracking)

My pricing above MIGHT be wrong so correct me If I'm wrong, So which Is the better route to take? 
I find that USPS First Class Is just as fast as Priority? In regards to me receiving something shipped via First Class Is 1.5-2 weeks and Priority Mail says It's 6-10 business days according to the site Is basically 1-2 weeks also.

Thanks
Thanks!

The initial packaging for these wrist rest used are barter paper, which do not look as glam , currently i am getting them to make cardboard boxes to fit this wrist rest which will be more protective and looks better when everyone receives it, will only cost likely cents to make one.

Just to make things clear, can one choose between the gh forum logo and the logo that is on the metal keycap?
I dont want the logo that is on the forum, I want the one that is on the keycap.

Decided to stick with the fonts on the keycaps, post #1 updated.

Can anyone decide the dimension of how huge the logo should be?

Also, i would need someone to mock up a clear image of that font to be submitted to moulding factory.

What's the inside filled with? I've never had a leather style wrist rest before so I'm just wondering how they normally feel. Is it like that gel silicone like stuff inside?
Title: Re: [IC] Geekhack Wrist Rest
Post by: Marclgw on Mon, 15 October 2012, 08:31:33
The wrist rest is foam based instead of gel based.
As I am superb busy with some other case I have at work , will start the official group buy in 5 days

Title: Re: [IC] Geekhack Wrist Rest
Post by: Marclgw on Mon, 15 October 2012, 20:30:32
Will finalise everything when I start up the official group buy thread, I will negotiate for a better price. Also, I need the dimension of the wrist rest for 60% size. Factory ain't know the dimension unless provided.

I will need someone to mock up the geekhack fonts as well into JPG or .doc for them to process.

Volunteer for the distribution of wrist rest in CONUS/Eu.

Without the above the group buy will be delayed.

For dimensions would it be the same but length made for a poker? I think there should be measurements for that someone has on hand. edit^guess so

As for Canadian buyers, will they be shipped direct or do we need a Canadian distributor as well?

I think the "giving back" part Is that It's mandatory to get the logo stamped on all the wrist pads In honor of geek hack!

one can say its profiting off the geekhack name.
Obviously for us GH'ers, we feel a special tie with Geekhack merchandise/branding (GH caps for example)
I do know previously people have asked iMav for permission to use GH, as a courtesy i guess.
