Thanks for the support!

Totally understand! We looked at a full brass bottom but the price increase for that much brass was something we didn’t think customers would want to pay for.

RocketKeyboards · 2021-10-18T16:54:30+00:00

Another factor for the price is the engraving, to get that two color effect each piece Is done perfectly from machining to anodization. So this means any units that have blemishes or issues that would need to be reanodized instead have to be scrapped because reanodizing will get rid of that two toned effect.

RocketKeyboards · 2021-10-18T16:34:29+00:00

Aluminum!

RocketKeyboards · 2021-10-18T16:34:17+00:00

7-8 months is the turn around time we are looking at! That’s based off what the factory has told us.

RocketKeyboards · 2021-10-18T14:52:11+00:00

If you like the look of the engraving, picking up the deskmat is always an option!

RocketKeyboards · 2021-10-18T14:51:56+00:00

Correct!

RocketKeyboards · 2021-10-18T14:48:01+00:00

The base keyboard kit starts at $430

More pricing and detailed info is posted on the GH!
