Title: [IC] New Keyboard Brand Fusekai-Vortex Project
Post by: FusekaiMK on Fri, 20 October 2017, 09:39:59
Fusekai
Floating World
An amalgamation of Fuyu Sekai. Name is inspired by Ukiyo-e movement during Edo period in Japan during the 17th to mid 19th century (Obsessed with Irezumi)

I am looking produce keyboards under my brand (Fusekai) label in partnership with Vortex. The details are outlined below:

Soho62 (Based on the Pok3r 3)
* 62 keys
* Cherry MX switches
* Dye-subliminated PBT keycaps in OEM profile
* Qwerty, Dvorak, Colemak layout
* Metal bezel * Price: USD ~$110


Cloud75 (Based on the the Race 3)
* More info to come
* Price: USD ~$120

Koi78 (Based on the Vibe)
* 62 keys + number pad
* Cherry MX switches
* Dye-sublimated PBT keycaps in OEM profile
* Anodized computer numerical control aluminum machined case * Price: USD ~$130

Misc
* All keyboards come with a keycap puller, mac keys, and a micro USB
* Keyboard and keycaps will be manufactured in Taiwan
* Customizeable case colors
* Prices are estimates
* Will confirm production lead time soon

Keycaps
* Thick, solid, and long lasting PBT keycaps in OEM profile compatible with Cherry MX switches. Legends are dye-sublimated so they won’t fade or shine through use
* Legends will be in a sans-serif Futura typeface: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Futura_(typeface)

I am looking to release multiple keycap sets with the keyboards and would like to see suggestions of themes. Hopefully the best themes can be included with the launch.

Are you already partnered with Vortex, or are you looking to partner with them? Also curious about those prices.
