    I've always loved flat side profiled 60%'s similar to the Tofu60 and CW60 and this one hits the same spot just as well!

    Really enjoy the minimalist aesthetic of this, also cool to see the sort of leaf spring o ring plate gasket mount on a 60%. Might have been in for this at a lower price point, but frankly for low volume, I doubt they’re operating with crazy margin

    • @alexotos
      @alexotos  7 месяцев назад +2

      Yeah I do wish this board was at least 150 dollars cheaper, but I doubt that would have been sustainable for the volume they are cranking out. This will definitely be a small batch project.

      @@alexotos Here’s to hoping that they sell well enough to lead to future opportunities for more high volume runs at lower prices (if that’s of interest to them).

    That's a beautiful keyboard, but that's a horrible business plan. I was into the hobbies, getting a lot of Group Buys. However, pay 399, 499 or much much more in a keyboard that will be shipping someday after 2 or 3 years, with no after selling support for pieces, seems to be very stupid and non-sense to me. "oh, they are small company with a unique design", whatever, products like that should be available or in in-stock batches or should be, at least, less expensive than that, since you should wait for a long time of rthe production and shipping (with a lot of "sorry"from the designer/producer). That's why I don't put my money on that anymore. Again, beautiful design to put in a art event or exposition, but not practical to reach the consumer.

      I dont disagree that group buys are a tough sell in the current market of todays faster turn around times and keyboards that are much better in value, but there will always been smaller batch projects that may only appeal to a handful of people. Every hobby will still have those, but i completely agree that this will only appeal to people with the cash to get something something that is more of an "art" piece to them and not practical when you compare it to the current climate of boards. The good thing is we can have both in the hobby!

      The same is present in many other hobbies. Look at fountain pens, fashion, art collections, coffee, photography.
      This board is not even as expensive as others with less well thought out design.

      @Maxime-ho9iv 7 месяцев назад +2

      A lot of people would have disagree with this comment a couple years ago, because people truly thought it was that expensive to make a keyboard. Now that we now it is not true (just look at what Node and others have been able to produce which is not only cheaper but top notch), we have to adapt.
      I also bought $400+ boards and I'm not sure I will ever again.
      And at the very very least, I would want an expensive board to have all the bells and whistles that I can find on cheaper ones. The one in this video is definitely not one of those.

      @@Maxime-ho9iv I’m gunna be honest, this really isn’t fair to anyone’s time involved in making a keyboard. I get that maybe the RAW cost of something can be cheap and some companies with much higher MOQs may get some amazing prices on things but that just isn’t true for everyone doing boards. Plus some folk may value their time and labour differently and that’s okay to do so. Now does this mean you have to spend your money on that? No. But I think it’s rather disingenuous to say that not all keyboards are worth money.
      I do agree there are tons (TONS) of great alternatives at varying price points though, that’s the truth, but that may not be what everyone is after. I also have built tons of boards and I can tell you as someone who knows what they like in a board, I don’t think I need all the bells and whistles! It’s all preference at the end of the day and hobbies are meant to be fun.

      @@alexotos I think it’s a good discussion to have. But to have this conversation you have to go beyond the typical argument used for way too many things nowadays that if someone can buy it, then it’s valid, since it’s kinda meaningless really, not only because it’s boring and sad but because it brings nothing really meaningful to discuss. I personally think the whole industry and community is way too opaque for you to be convinced it’s a fair price.
      I don’t think expensive is an issue, I have very expensive things myself, but I think it needs to have a meaning. And to have a meaning we need to be good critics at what is presented to us. « Oh yes it’s expensive because of this, that and that ». And again, looking at what people have been able to produce recently for such affordable price (affordable compared to what was presented to us not a long time ago) I’m not even sure my own barometer is even calibrated correctly.

    $400 USD for this? I have nothing against minimalism and simplicity. It can be quite elegant when done right. But this one is pretty dull if you ask me, super long feet make no sense and are actually pretty ugly imo, as well as the two perforation on the base.
