I want some other darker woods like Ebony (though I'd take Dark Wenge).

Ebony=$$$, African Wenge is a decent substitute that I have seen /u/MDDDIY use. He made those "sunken" mahogany wristrests a while back that came out stunning. That said, I am probably in (depending on where pricing ends up).

I have his wenge and agree that it's a solid substitute that I'd be happy to have this in.

Post by: FrostyToast on Sun, 22 January 2017, 14:27:25: I think you would be better off finding a milling service that can do wood.
If you go that route I suggest using one type of wood with different stains to mimic the material.
Unlike headphones, the specific type of wood isn't crucial to defining the final product, only the color.

I've added an interest check form to see how many sets people are all interested to get a rough estimate. This will be run as a GB (I will try my best to make it as fast as possible). I have yet to mention pricing since I will be handling the production, and shipping of these items. I am very disappointed in the unreliability in some of the 'well-known' wrist wrest makers, and it seems I need to handle everything myself.

https://goo.gl/forms/8FndlwxWbOjYb1yN2

1 set = 1 left, 1 right.

Only pairs are offered. I sent pm's to those who have submitted 2 to double check.

I got your PM and was one of those idiots (it was very thoughtful of you to follow up and make sure I corrected my mistake). Thanks ^_^

Will they be made with different wood types or will they just be stained to make them look like other wood types?

Likely will only be one prototype, and then samples of wood with their finishes. Ordering 5 or 6 doesn't make sense.

Yea, that makes complete sense. I wasn't able to get the acrylic stands that were part of the VE.A drop, the kit with switches and keycaps had me tapped out, and I'm happy that I didn't now because wood stands will look much better than the acrylic.

Since you've found a maker now is there any solid info on pricing?

There are many variables that will add to the price like shipping the finished product to me, shipping materials, shipping to the customs, fees etc. that will affect the price, so I can't say until the IC is finalized and ready to become a GB.

That being said, the woods vary in price, but taking into account the acrylic stand's price and the price of other wood wrists (this is two parts though), I don't think you'll be worried about the pricing being too high.

That is good to know! I was worried it would be ridiculously high!

Do you have any estimates on when the GB will go live? I need to know whether to set aside money for it this month or just wait until next month.

The prototype should be coming within a week or so, if it's 100% perfect, then it will launch after logistics and finances are figured. I will have to order boxes that are small enough to save on shipping, but large enough to protect them, rubber feet, probably tape (I'm running low haha).

Last time I went to Costco I bought so much tape, for the group buy I ran years ago, I still have plenty of tapes left. I can send a few rolls to you.

Just an update. Had someone that seemed highly interested in building these, but they hadn't replied to my messages two days in a row having read them. Another three days went by, and nothing was messaged. This is all after he delayed making the prototype for roughly two weeks.

I'm going to have to contact someone outside of the keyboard community to make these. This is a very busy week for me, so I'll try next weekend to look for a person or company that can make this for me.

In the time I waited for a prototype from the other person, I feel this whole GB could have been finished already.

Stay tuned.

You're a champ, thank you for being so detail oriented and strict.

Very nice. My only concern at this point is the height of the "wrist rest" portion. Does it block the part of the VE.A case that emits light?

Any chance you could post a photo from the inside (tall side) edge?

What exactly do you mean? Two different colors per half? Or did you mean glue two woods and then cut? I would have to ask, I will be calling the maker this weekend.

This is what I am talking about:

I am going to guess it would be 2 pieces glued together and then cut but I'm not a woodworker so I'm really not sure how they manage to make it look like that.

No offense, but that looks fugly. And would cost more to make. The only two-tone design that might look good would be different colors for the bottom half and the palm rest. I still prefer single color design.

Talked to the maker today. The following woods will be offered (from most to least expensive with oak and beech being the same price):

Zebrawood
African Wenge
Walnut
Mohogany
Oak
Beech

Pricing is still being finalized, but this will launch soon. Expect each set to cost at least $100. There is a lot of labor that goes into hand making these as well as material costs, prototyping costs and overhead.

Shipping will be billed separately. International shipping will be pretty pricey, and unfortunately, there is no way for me to lower pricing unless someone wishes to proxy orders for a particular country. Actual shipping price will be charged. Sets are estimated to weigh 3lbs.

There is an MOQ of 20 sets, and a maximum order of 100 sets. Prototyping costs will be split across each order, so the more that are ordered, the cheaper each set will cost. For example, if 100 sets are ordered, each person will save about $32 compared to 20 being ordered.

I will be posting pics of the actual woods that will be used to make these, as well as updated renders soon. The GB will then launch soon after.

The total timeline from ordering to receiving is estimated to be around 3-4 months.

Thank you everyone for your patience and understanding. ;)

wengeeeeeeeeeeeee

Is MDDDIY the maker? I know he's a fan of African Wenge.

I'll throw in the same comment I made on Reddit! Wenge, Zebrawood or Padauk and I'm in!

Well I'm in! Since this is a pretty relaxed and custom buy, any chance we can all pepay for prototyping costs, see what the prototypes look like and then decide and pay the remainder of the full price?

I know I prefer zebrawood to wenge, but don't know how it looks with the keyboard y'know?

I'll throw in the same comment I made on Reddit! Wenge, Zebrawood or Padauk and I'm in!

Well I'm in! Since this is a pretty relaxed and custom buy, any chance we can all pepay for prototyping costs, see what the prototypes look like and then decide and pay the remainder of the full price?

I know I prefer zebrawood to wenge, but don't know how it looks with the keyboard y'know?

The prototype is already done, see pictures on first page.

Oh? For some reason I got the impression that all woods would be prototyped. I mean unless the woodworker is exceptionally experienced (I am not saying they're not), they themselves probably have to do a little bit of prototyping to get all the woods to work the way they'd want them to.
