Something about me:My name is Corrado and i'm from Italy.
I'm a naval and mechanical engineer.
I currently work as product engineer and i'm in the hobby since few years.
During the first Corona lockdown, i started gaming. I bought a cheap mechanical keyboard from aliexpress... that's how it started
Then i designed my first 2 keyboards. SeamLess is the son of my first-born. His name is SolidBrass 60%.
In the past 2 years i learned so much that i decided to open a new [IC] since the design of the first-born has been heavily modified.
The first sample of SolidBrass 60% has been shipped to WildCat. He liked the quality but however he founded a problem.
Using pbs screwed stabs, there was an interference between the screew and the bottom of the keyboard.
This forced me to correct my mistake and order new samples...
That's why i decided to change the design and remove the seam. It was visible on the side even if the two pieces were perfectely aligned.
From my mistake, SeamLess has born
Layout and PCB:The keyboard has been designed aroud the Wilba Graphite 60%.
A custom PCB give you the possibility to further personalize your design. But force customers to buy extra pcb to avoid problems in the future.
A custom PCB may generate issues that i'm not able to solve (i've no experience with pcb and electrical circuits). Especially now, with components shortage, this can cause huge delay.
That's why i've preferred a standard one.
The plate allow all the layouts of the Graphite; ISO ANSI 6.25u and 7u spacebar.
The plate is brass made. But i will share all the necessary files to produce by other materials.
Material and colors:When you use quality materials, there is no reason to cover and hide them.
The only aviable color will be the natural brass color.
Brass will be softly sandblasted to give to the kayboard a "soft touch" feeling.
A thin layer of transparent protector will be applied to protect the keyboard from oxidation.
Quantity and target price:I don't have a MQO. Keyboards will be numbered from 0 to 99.
nr. 0 will be used as samples for photos and test. it will be sent to a content creator (WildCat).
nr. 1 to 99 will be sold through a GB.
Target price is 500€ (unless new important increase of the raw brass price).
EVA handbag, extra screews, are included.
A brass cap will be included
More Photos:What's now?
