Title: Acrylic wrist rest for Poker/Pure (for free?)
Post by: Smeagol_RP on Sun, 14 July 2013, 22:03:49

Hey guys, first of all, don't know if this is the correct area for it. If not, please move it to the right place.

I needed a wrist rest for my Poker II and the easier material I could get is acrylic. But an acrylic wrist rest would be very light so I had to think about something to hold the keyboard. So this is what I get:

This one is mine, but I have another one. If you want it, then it's yours. But if more people show interest, I'll need to select using Random.org. If you agree with that, just post. The deadline will be on Tuesday at 18:00 (forum time).

"Okay, it's free but who pays for shipping costs?" Sorry, I can't pay for it. These are the approximate prices: USA/Canada: $17 / Europe: $19 / Asia/Australia: $38. I know this is kind of abusive, but it's the lowest cost method. "I don't trust you". No problem, if you have good feedback in Heatware, pay when you get it. ;)

Also I can provide a custom GH logo using sandblasting. Something like this:

 And just to make sure, I'm not selling it but I can't pay for the shipping costs.

This gentlemen is a nice guy, I can vouch for that, I don't even know why he's giving away for free this wrist rest....

Anyways, he also made the acrylic covers that Cooler Master uses on their marketing events (such as CES, Computex...)

Just curious did you bend these yourself? If so, what did you use to bend them? I recall seeing a heat bar used once to smoothly bend angles on acrylic. I've been using a heat gun with part of the acrylic gripped to slowly bend it. I'm having mixed results.

Thanks!

It's not my job. He's a friend of my father. Made some stuff for me, like this:

Post by: danielucf on Sun, 14 July 2013, 23:47:11

Looks pretty sweet, it would be cool with a fully clear cased GH60 in it. Put my name in the hat I suppose.

Any chance you could actually do a group buy of these?

Title: Re: Acrylic wrist rest for Poker/Pure (for free?)
Post by: PointyFox on Mon, 15 July 2013, 00:00:43

I'd like one.  You should sell those and get some $ from people who ran out of things to add to their Pokers. :P

He said to me 10 pieces will cost about US$220. To personalize (plotter and sandblasting job), plus US$5. So, we have the total amount of US$27 per piece. If you guys can get 10 or more people to this, let me know. But again, check the shipping costs and think if the total amount is still worth.

Update with the user list. About a GB, as I said, let's see how it goes. A good alternative for the shipping costs is a box with 4 parts (2kg is about $38). It doesn't matter one or four parts, the value is the same. Of course will be cheaper someone receive this box and ship them separately.

"Hat". So this is how you guys call it? :)) What about a "raffle"? That's the word Google suggested to me.

Raffle is correct.  Hat refers to a method of drawing somebody's name for a raffle by placing several names in a hat and picking one.

That said, put my name in the hat as well!

If there will be a GB could you also do a shorter option, maybe without the horizontal part? I think it makes it a bit too long, looks about twice as long as those wooden wrist rests.

does this double as a cover and a wrist rest?

I would  totally buy a few of these. I like the idea of a shorter model as well.
