Small update on current activities
timeline:
- waiting on base-pcb for last mockup
- keypad is being finalized
- after the keypad is done, the domesheet can be designed and ordered
- after that the bottom-pcb can be designed and tested
- finalizing design for production
moneyz:
- waiting on quote for lastucase backsides
- waiting on quote for keypad production
- still have to ask for a quote on domesheet
- investigating costs of pcb soldering
these costs are needed for making an accurate estimation for the eventual cost and are all needed before opening pre-orders
got some emails with questions regarding the date when the keyboards will be ready to ship, but given the above uncertainties it may be clear i cannot possibly comment on this. but work is in progress.

Rough estimate for pricing tohkbd2: 130E
This is for a white keyboard and wooden back (just like latest mockup)
Amount is determined by adding into account:
- sum of parts
- outsourced labour
- insourced labour (#me)
- risk
- taxes
Pre-ordering will not start before i have a working proto that is adequately tested. However, you can support by donating or ordering the SolarTOH

As I assume you're going to have the wooden back remain as a Lastucase, have you enquired of them whether they have any contacts who might prove useful for manufacture / assembly?

Is it possible to print QWERTZ on the keyboard?

Sounds fair for a custom made product, especially if the quality is there! I'm still in.
I second Bluefoot's message about unnecessary cost savings versus quality and reliability (and please, please, a silent domesheet, but I suppose this does not depend on you).

I also think the price is adequte, just considering the huge ammount of work that went into the project (Thanks again!)!
BTW, any plans for a Gamegripper for the TOHKBD and/or a "gaming" layout ? (just an idea ;-) )
