OP2 done and ready for anodising... This is basically the same photo as the last one since most of the work between the two is face down 😅

The first batch of customer keyboards are under way... Actually I'm slow at getting this posted, it was taken a week ago. They were completed 3 days ago and are out for plating.

Thankfully I'm a much better machinists than I am a web developer. But we got there in the end and the website is now live at grumpysloth.co (link is in profile as well). We are doing a limited pre-order with 11 units left in the first product run which is estimated to ship early December. Hopefully those who have followed the journey appreciate the amount of work that goes into producing one of these keyboards and the 108 CNC machined aluminium keycaps for it. The price tag that comes as a result of all that work, which is complete in New Zealand is $3,600 NZD (~$2,170 USD) for our international customers and that + GST to appease the government for our friends in New Zealand.

After google reminded me it's over 3 years since we started this project. I thought I better share the photos of the production prototype which is currently in Leipzig, Germany, enroute to Hannover. Machinists following might have an idea where it's heading based on that 😁
Currently working to get a website up to allow pre-orders of the first 12 that we have PCBs on hand to build. More info will follow in the coming days for those who are interested... and have lots of money 🤣 Turns out, machining 108 keycaps from aluminium is a rather time consuming process. Who would have guessed 🤷‍♂️

That keyboard just isn't up to s***f and completely out of place next to that weapon of a machine.

My army of Mini Sloths. So many gloriously grumpy faces in one photo.
Needed some samples to test finishes. Wanted them to include the key features of the keyboard. After a while thinking, my du***ss finally realised the obvious solution of mini keyboard cases. These are off to be vapour blasted at various levels and then down to
