https://plexkbd.com/origami-tkl-v2/Product listing:
https://plexkbd.com/category/origami-tkl-v2/It has been almost a year since the release of Origami TKL V1, and now we would like to offer the latest version of our TKL keyboard. We received feedback from several people who bought or tried Origami TKL v1 and improved several aspects in v2 based on the feedback we received. The changes are:
More
1. Top case.
The design will be 99% the same as v1. The difference is that we will add an engraving above the arrow cluster. You can also get top case without any engraving like on the v1.
2. Plate.
No changes at all. All aluminium plates in v2 will be black.
3. Internal weight.
We are adding clearance for the stabilizer because we received feedback from some users who use plastic plates that they feel the stabilizer bottoming out when pressing certain keys with stabilizers. All kits will receive brass internal weight included.
4. External weight.
Will be removed. We removed this part to reduce machining costs and time so that we could make the price similar to v1. In addition, with the removal of this one part, our team can perform QC more efficiently. You can also assemble the keyboard more easily.
5. Bottom case.
We added clearance for the stabilizer. Since we removed the external weight, the outer part of the bottom case will look much simpler and cleaner compared to v1. The USB position will also change from the center to the right side. The bottom case will be silver for all colors, aiming to provide a color contrast between the top and bottom cases. Since the crane weight will be the same color as the top case, this will also make the crane weight stand out more. We will also offer a brass bottom case in v2 with a minimum order quantity (MOQ) of 30 pieces. V1 buyers can purchase the brass bottom case without having to buy the full kit if desired since it will be fully compatible with every V1 parts (top case, internal weight, crane weight, etc.).
6. Crane weight.
We will add slots for magnets, just in case you want to glue some magnets to the bottom case and the crane weight. However, the crane weight will be installed with screws and without magnets attached during assembly at the factory, as in the V1. You will need to purchase the magnets yourself.

Mounting styles1. Top mount
One of the most popular mounting styles. This mounting style is liked by many people who like a typing feel that tends to be stiff. The stiffest mounting style offered in this keyboard.
2. Rubber Pin mount
This mounting style is inspired by Geonworks' Frog. Similar to top mount, but instead of using screws, this mounting style uses custom Rubber Pins that we designed. Suitable for those of you who want a medium to stiff typing feel.
3. Gummy o-ring mount
This mounting point utilize a 3.5mm o-ring that placed around the PCB and plate. Typing feel characteristic of this mounting point is the softest compared to the other two mounting styles offered in this keyboard.

FAQ:
More
1.Why choose a group buy over in-stock sales like in the v1?
The reason why we changed the sales method to group buy from the previous in-stock method like in v1 is so that everyone can choose the configuration they want without having to rush to buy it before it runs out.
2.Can I purchase only the top case without buying the full kit?
Currently, we do not accept orders for the top case alone. If there is significant demand for individual top cases in the future, we may consider launching a separate group buy for this item.
3.Are parts from V1 compatible with V2, and vice versa?
Yes, all parts from V1 are fully compatible with V2, and vice versa. But you need a shorter JST cable because in v2 we use much shorter JST cable.
4.When is the estimated shipping date?
The estimated shipping date is approximately 4 months after the group buy closes.
5.Is there any warranty available?
For the keyboard case, after-sales support is available within 10 days of delivery. Please record a complete unboxing video to inspect the keyboard's appearance during this period. If any issues are found, please contact our after-sales team.
For the PCB, the warranty period is 6 months from delivery. If you have any problem with your PCB, please reach out to our after-sales service. We don’t accept warranty claim for solder PCB that already soldered.
6.Why are no other vendors involved?
If there are other vendors involved in the process of selling this product, we are afraid that the selling price of this product will be too high for us because we have to account for the profit for each vendor.
7.Can I cancel or modify my order?
Yes, you can cancel or modify your order if the group buy is still open. But, if the group buy is already over, we can’t do any order modification after we have already submitted the order to our manufacturer. And if you decide to cancel your order, we will reduce 5% for PayPal processing fee from your order total value.
8.Where will orders be shipped from?
All orders ship from mainland China.
9.Will there be additional import tariffs for customers in the USA and EU?
No, we offer DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) shipping directly to your US and EU address, so no extra import charges will apply.
