Title: [IC] TGR-Tris CE
Post by: yuktsi on Mon, 25 January 2016, 08:35:48
Next project after all the Jane are shipped  :cool:

Design:
Tris is a beautiful numpad  :-* Simple, elegant, top mounting for plate and most importantly, it has brass weight!!! That means the numpad is heavy, we all love heavy boards.

Top
Left, middle and right. I have not decided which will be the final design.
Please tell me which do you like best  :rolleyes:
Personally, I like the middle one the most.
But prototype will be produced for all 3 designs

(http://i.imgur.com/YqVPkFc.png)

Bottom
True beauty lies underneath the board. I am still having some difficulty in obtaining Tris' signature.
I promise I will work harder on that.

Prototyping:
The prototyping shall commence next week. Expected to finish by the end of February.
So yeah, if everything goes smoothly, we should expect the groupbuy in early March.

Price:
$180-$200

Quantity:
25-30 (excluding Jane R1 owners)


I will update more as soon I got the signature from Tris. Cheers!

Somehow I read the title as TGR-Trix and thought you will make a fullsize keyboard. LOL

So the design and color would match both the Jane R1 and CE right?

Don't quote me on this but I believe that it may only be for the r1 Jane owners to match their board and have the same number on the brass plate. At least that's what we were told in the beginning, maybe things have changed and he'll make more.

It certainly seems like the spots will be restricted because a board that I bought from yuktsi came with a spot in this groupbuy.

I was just talking to yuktsi, he said it'll most likely be just for r1 Jane owners but he posted this to see how much interest it would gather. There's still a possibility that he may make more for other users but the priority at the moment is to get them for the r1 Jane Owners.

Nah, it was a AMJ board. The last like five things he's sold on classifieds have come with special kraps that guarantee you a spot in this buy. I imagine the "r1 jane" umbrella extends to the CE as well though, correct?

I'm not so sure about a spot for the CE owners. He never asked/told me about it for CE. I know that the numpad will look exactly like the r1 Jane with the full walls on each side and have a matching brass plate that has the same number to go with the Jane numbers. So I'm not so sure for the CE as the designs will look different.

Quoted. That kind of sucks if this is true but I don't mind as it makes sense and has more spots than just owners.

I confirmed with yuksti that it's definite for r1 Jane owners and the others he gave spots to. The only question left for debate is whether he will sell more to others or not.

There is no point to having an IC thread for a group buy that is private.  If you're interested in running future rounds of this board for the public to purchase, it would make sense to create an IC thread at that time.  At this point, this is just needless hyping.

Also, it's pretty clear that the interest is there.  So if you'd like to start discussing options, layouts, etc, you are more than welcome to do so.  :thumb:  But as the OP stands right now, there is no content to check interest for.

I agree; there's interest even without renders, so as long as designs are similar to the Jane's then it's going to sell to the public well.

Nope, it's going to look like the TGR-Jane. I already talked to yuksti about it. This "interest check" is to gather how much interest there actually is and decide if it's worth making more for other users outside of the Jane owners and other people he promised that bought items off of him.

Are you somehow involved in running the GB for TGR-Tris? Seems like you know more than any other ppl here.. And if the design is finalized, I'm sure the renders would be up already. Otherwise all I can say is let's wait for yuktsi to make the decision and update us on the details

Nope, it's going to look like the TGR-Jane. I already talked to yuksti about it. This "interest check" is to gather how much interest there actually is and decide if it's worth making more for other users outside of the Jane owners and other people he promised that bought items off of him.
Are you somehow involved in running the GB for TGR-Tris? Seems like you know more than any other ppl here.. And if the design is finalized, I'm sure the renders would be up already. Otherwise all I can say is let's wait for yuktsi to make the decision and update us on the details

I'm not involved but I talk with yuksti quite frequently on Skype.

Not trying to be a spokesperson but yuktsi has been rather extremely busy lately. He can tend to fall through for a little bit because he has a lot going on behind the scenes.

I apologize for answering the questions I can rather than leaving them unanswered for some time. I'll just wait to get my numpad then.

Not offensive but if I'd put myself in yuktsi's shoes. It might not be really happy for me to see my conversation being shared to forum. I believe there's reason why yuktsi didn't reveal (Finalizing design? How many to sell?)

I was trying to get myself a slot too but failed to do so for both TGR Jane or CE.
Now I am hoping for a numpad!
Why not we just wait quietly for it to come out like seriously? :D

Anyways,
I apologize for being mean if it makes you feeling uncomfortable.
Cheers :)

It's all good. I admit it was rather not a good idea to share a pic of the conversation. I'm just trying to answer some questions for yuksti that way there is less for him to do. I have no reason to make anything up. Everything is still up in the air because it is an interest check but some insight can be shared.

i guess we can all just chill and wait for the man himself to show his renders and plan since he indicate that he is working on it.
he asked for IC and we can help him by indicating if we are interested or not.
perhaps you can put in some suggestions but don't expect your suggestion to be in the final design since he will make the final call for the design.

we already know it's going to be a numpad, suggest things within that area and not asking for his next non-numpad version lol!
we could've misinterpret the original plan for this project.
the way i see the skype conversation goes, he needs more response from people, preferably the r1 and r2 jane owners can voice out as well since he is still thinking about how this numpad is going to be. no point for him to make it look like r1 or r2 if the previous r1 and/or r2 owner is not interested in getting the numpad.

anyway don't think i can afford a numpad now, but good luck to tris!

Post by: asgeirtj on Sat, 30 January 2016, 10:17:38
I'd be interersted in a numpad which DON'T have any extra buttons on top of the standard ones since if I wan't to use a classic keyset on it I don't have keycaps to fill the top ones, besides have fewer keys is more beautiful and these extra keys have absolutely no utility for me.

I believe they will have a shot with all the other people who didn't get Jane R1. I don't think they are reserved a spot though, Yuktsi can say for certain but the updated OP makes it seem that way.

25-30 (excluding Jane R1 owners)

If we're voting, I'm for more buttons. I have a feeling that I'll use thing as a kbd extension with shortcuts and whatnot rather than just a numpad. I'd put the TGR logo on the bottom (e.g. with a plate). More for connoisseurs :)

I think it's fine.  Just a lot of work and design into it.  Materials alone will always make it cost more.

the material itself doesn't cost much but the machining and handling do.
remember it's a 2 parts case, where the switch plate is mounted to the top half
it's rather tricky as you want to keep them as seamless as possible 
would be much much cheaper if the case is only 1 part (like most of the 60% case and numpad out there)

You're paying for machine and setup time, which won't vary a whole lot between a TKL and numpad.  While we as enthusiasts may not "value" numpads as much as a TKL, the machine shop sees a nearly-equal job in terms of machining.  This is obviously over-simplifying things, but the general idea is there.

But that's in the US maybe it's cheaper in Malaysia
In case you're wondering, my lamp was literally just an aluminum rod and a shell, not some crazy fancy design

Quantity:
25-30 (excluding Jane R1 owners)

It says it right in the OP. He's going to do an additional 25-30 numpads on top of the r1 owners. The name has nothing to do with, the design matches that of the r1 Jane.

Correct. The 25-30 is for the non-round 1 Jane owners, and so I'm assuming that this IC for the design is to gauge which of those here (the 25-30) would vote on a certain design. Which is why I said I realized this design process may not be indicative of the final design for the round 1 owners' num pad, if it's at all different.

So there will 25-30 for people outside of r1, so about 45-50 total? Nice!  :thumb:

I like the one with the TGR logo; will match my Jane nicely!
The R1's design is slight different for inside.
I shall update you all privately once the prototype is ready.

My assumption is that it will be the same colors offered for r1 Jane since it's suppose to match the r1 Janes. If he only did Jane CE colors than titanium grey would not be an option. That color was not included for the Jane CE because of the higher grade aluminum and difficult of the anodizing but I believe yuktsi will be using t6 6061, the same as r1 Jane.

Ah nice, be careful with reanodizing it can be a bit risky. You'll most likely have to get it re-anodized a couple times until you get the color and quality that you want unless you got a shop that's pretty damn good.

It's not about making a mistake but about getting the color that you want. It's a much more complicated process than you assume. How you suspend the item in the bath, the amount of time you leave it in the dye, the quality of the aluminum, etc. all play major factors in getting a proper anodized board. Most shops don't normally deal with fine quality items where you want every nook and cranny have the best quality. So yes, you may need to pay for it multiple times because you may not like the color the first time around and that has nothing to do with the shop being at fault.

Shops are dealing with customers who are looking to get the exact, or near exact, color they are looking for. To say that the people going to have things anodized are willing to except some large degree of faults "just because" is absurd. Sure, not every item is going to be 100% perfect, but it better be damn close or people will just look elsewhere.

And it's not "much more complicated" than I assume. Obviously there are a few variables, but these are businesses that specialize in knowing how these small number of variables interact to create a finished product.

Shops are dealing with customers who are looking to get the exact, or near exact, color they are looking for.

Shops are normally dealing with businesses who are looking at getting a large quantity of a product anodized so they are not going to nit pick every single nook and cranny of every single item. So how do you explain why the majority of the colors for Jane needed re-anodized and still aren't that best of quality? What about Photoelectric's LZ-GH having to get reanodized a couple times before it was done right?

I'm just trying to give you some insight on the process of getting a board anodized. Sure it could be as simple as taking it to the shop, going home, and then coming back with a re-anodized board but don't expect to be exactly what you want. It's a process that you need to be involved in every step of the way. It's not like the shop can look at the exact color that you want and just know the amount of time it needs to be in the dye bath in order to meet your standards. Most shops will just suspend on their racks that they use for every other product to dry but that may not be good enough for you because it may result in having a few runs shown.

If you don't believe then, that's fine, just send Photoelectric a message to learn more about the whole process. I'm just trying to help.

Business and customer are interchangeable in this situation, a business is still a customer of the shop.

I also know plenty of people who have never had a problem getting a board anodized on the first try. Not to trash the country, but does Malaysia really have a wide variety of top-quality anodizing shops?
I'm sure if you gave a shop enough relevant information from the shop that did the first job they could get it, I'd rather that then just try to eyeball it.

But trust me, I'll be looking for the best shop like you originally said, best not to take chances.

All I'm trying to say is just be involved in the process as much as you can. You could still get the quality you want the first time by just dropping it off at the shop but just know that there is risk involved if you are not apart of the process.

I'm not trying to act like I know it all either. Just sharing info that has been passed down onto me and the experiences I had being in contact with a local shop of mine.

Because some businesses in general are better than others, it's the same in literally any other field.

But yes, if I'm spending all this money on a board close to me, I definitely plan on being as involved as possible to get the best result.

You don't need to put your "knowledge" everywhere, especially when it is such an obvious thing like "make sure your annodizer is good, otherwise it wont be good!"

Slickmamba chill out dawg. I don't even understand the reasoning of your post because, yet again, it is no sort of contribution.

Getting a board re-anodized is a not a simple process like many think. There are many factors involved that can make it risky. There was even a user that just posted recently that was less than satisfied with the anodizing job done on his board and did not understand why it turned out like that. You obviously don't understand the subject because you are paraphrasing in a moronic way. Keep doing you though, whatever makes you happy.

Slickmamba chill out dawg. I don't even understand the reasoning of your post because, yet again, it is no sort of contribution.

Getting a board re-anodized is a not a simple process like many think. There are many factors involved that can make it risky. There was even a user that just posted recently that was less than satisfied with the anodizing job done on his board and did not understand why it turned out like that. You obviously don't understand the subject because you are paraphrasing in a moronic way. Keep doing you though, whatever makes you happy.

just because things are put simply, doesn't make it moronic.   If using jargon and flaunting a sense of elevated intelligence is your thing. Keep doing you. Do you baby  :p.

You found that as angry?  I just responded cause it was funny how you were all talking in circle repeated the same things over and over like you just did.  Just quit its not worth it.  You don't have to win every argument.  Its ok.  life will go on. 

ooo 699 posts.  I like it.  Maybe once I get 2k I can pretend I know everything

Paraphrasing me as "make sure your annodizer is good, otherwise it wont be good!" is moronic when I was describing the steps involved into anodization and not making sure the shop is of good quality.

I did not find it as angry, I found it as childish. It is pretty funny because there is no argument that I was trying to win. Hwood simply said he there is no reason to pay for a companies mistakes and I simply responded that it may not be a mistake by the company but not what he was looking for. While you post after the discussion was already over, not contributing anything, and completely side-tracking the topic.

ooo 699 posts.  I like it.  Maybe once I get 2k I can pretend I know everything

Yet again, another childish and useless comment. I do go around acting like I know everything, by all means read through all of my posts if you would like. I'm sorry that I enjoy spending time on geekhack and post more frequently than you do.

There is no point responding anymore to further side track the topic. I won't respond either.

While I agree the discussion is over, you did in fact say:

You'll most likely have to get it re-anodized a couple times until you get the color and quality that you want unless you got a shop that's pretty damn good.

i.e. make sure your annodizer is good, otherwise it wont be good

I agree with you there, my wording was a bit vague. I meant in terms of experience in dealing with fine quality finishes and not just industrial strength anodizing where there is generally less attention to detail. If you get a shop that deals with these kinds of requests than it should be a rather painless job but I doubt there are many shops that deal with people bringing in objects like keyboards where the user pays attention to every detail.

Shops are normally dealing with businesses who are looking at getting a large quantity of a product anodized so they are not going to nit pick every single nook and cranny of every single item.

You know damn well I was referring to you disparaging someone for their job. How much overhead is there for running a videogame server again?
And congrats with the computers, I built mine too. So did all my friends. At this point it's like mowing someones ****ing lawn, just put up some flyers.

I'll just say this: dictionaries are written and edited by people too. They're not perfect definitions, but they're fairly accurate. Oftentimes you'll have preferences over one depending if you prefer a prescriptive or descriptive approach.
Wikipedia is edited by anyone, but those anyones very well can be the same editors of dictionaries. That, and some articles can have pretty strict policies on writing and editing.

The Jane CE feels just as steep as any Duck I've had to me.

i just poked around real quick.  Jane (non-CE) was 8 degrees, whereas Duck Octagon V1 was 11 degrees.  pretty close, but a little less.  that's cool since personally my wrists don't do well with too much incline.

I won't even get into this argument honestly, saying something like "Wikipedia can be edited by anyone."


You started this, don't pretend like you're the "better" person here.

But regardless as for my education, pretty sure the first rule of research papers is "do not quote wikipedia".

I don't get what your point is since you would nonchalantly post a wikipedia definition to my reply.


But let's end this once and for all, because you have this need to defend yourself.

Let's take Webster for example:  (oxford gives a similar definition as well)
(http://puu.sh/nwwDV/f2f4384d8f.png)

Now notice here this definition is more open, because lets admit it theirs a lot of leeway in the English language for interpretation.

Let's zoom in a bit on what part I'm looking at

(http://puu.sh/nwwL8/d551b81e77.png)

Yep.


Now I won't be replying here anymore, and this post will end up getting reported, but there ya go.

Wikipedia is a good source for general information, but to go as far as quoting it, don't think so.

Just came back from the factory that does anodizing/finishing for Canon, Sony, Shimano... I've shown them boards like the Jane, dolphin, Tx1800 and 456gt. I wasn't allowed to take any photos, but their factory setup is pretty impressive. Color matching of parts is not an issue according to them, also the surface roughness can all be controlled using chemical polishing. However, the boss is only interested if only boards are machined by his another JV company.

I am visiting his machining factory tomorrow. Then will only work out in the MOQ and price.

I like the middle design the best, nice and clean.

Full 4 keys on the top makes it feel too cluttered, too gridlike.

As for the left design, I feel like if there's too many logos, especially paired with R1/CE. The two logos at once makes the setup seem too cluttered, a bit messy and gaudy.

So I had a random question that I don't believe has been mentioned, there's a TGR-Jane, and a TGR-Jane CE, there are a few differences between them but most notably to me being the design where it's not solid on the sides (it has a "lip") now there will only be a TGR-Tris CE and it does not have that design as far as I can tell, my main question would be if that is just due to prototype designs or if that is how it will end up looking. I would assume it would be near impossible to have a similar lip design on something that is so much smaller but thought I'd ask!

This is the final layout my friend. My computer is slow, so it might take me quite awhile to render. Tris is so subtle and beautiful, I can see bright future ahead of it already.

The confirmed colors are black, grey and silver. Unfortunately for this round, there's a MOQ of 10 units for the special/uncommon colors. Special colors like violet, pink, cyan or blue grey. I still can't decide on which special color to offer.  :'(

This is the final layout my friend. My computer is slow, so it might take me quite awhile to render. Tris is so subtle and beautiful, I can see bright future ahead of it already.

The confirmed colors are black, grey and silver. Unfortunately for this round, there's a MOQ of 10 units for the special/uncommon colors. Special colors like violet, pink, cyan or blue grey. I still can't decide on which special color to offer.  :'(

Cyan and pink please  :))

PINK OR RITO

But seriously though, if there is a pink that is a similar shade to the pink 456gt that would be amazing. :D

Next project after all the Jane are shipped  :cool:

Design:
Tris is a beautiful numpad  :-* Simple, elegant, top mounting for plate and most importantly, it has brass weight!!! That means the numpad is heavy, we all love heavy boards.

Top
Left, middle and right. I have not decided which will be the final design.
Please tell me which do you like best  :rolleyes:
Personally, I like the middle one the most.
But prototype will be produced for all 3 designs

Bottom
True beauty lies underneath the board. I am still having some difficulty in obtaining Tris' signature.
I promise I will work harder on that.

Prototyping:
The prototyping shall commence next week. Expected to finish by the end of February.
So yeah, if everything goes smoothly, we should expect the groupbuy in early March.

Price:
$180-$200

Quantity:
25-30 (excluding Jane R1 owners)


I will update more as soon I got the signature from Tris. Cheers!

Let's get this GB started!
