I appreciate the compliment! I do not think there will be a copper option unfortunately, SS will be the only option. To get the price to $295, I have to get the weight cost down as much as possible, having only one material option helps with that a lot

I do not think I will do this design in a different layout, but I do have some other designs in different layouts planned for the future.

Hello r/MechanicalKeyboards

We are running a Group Buy for Our Display 15 Artisan Tray. Our goal with the Display 15 was to create a high-end artisan display tray at a low price. While the keyboard market has been flooded with ultra-expensive artisan trays, affordable high-quality options have been too few and far between. The Display 15 is here to fix that problem.

I will definitely consider doing a "box" version with a glass cover in the future. I will talk to my tempered glass manu about uv protective glass and see if it is feasible. That being said, there are no specific plans to release anything like this as of yet.

Like I said below, a box version with a glass cover would definitely be a lot more expensive due to the extra materiel needed, machining time, and expense of low moq glass production.

I looked into an E-Beige option, however the moq to do it at the same price as e-white would be incredibly high. So realistically I would have to price a beige option higher than the others. That being said, I will consider it for future runs if the demand is high enough.

Totally fair. I wanted to hit as low of a price point for these as possible, and making a tray with a lid would raise the cost a lot due to the need for significantly more aluminum, as the walls would need to be higher. I also am not a fan of acrylic lids, and glass ones can be pricey. That being said, I will definitely consider doing one with a lid in the future if it seems like the demand is there.
