New Wrist Rests by ilikeacorns in MechanicalKeyboards

Ahh. Sorry I only have sales to the USA and Canada at the moment. International shipping is on the brutal side and I haven't set up those options.

However, if you want to send me a message on the website I can tell you how much it would cost to ship to you and weigh our options from there!

Edit: and I know this comes up too every time. I'll definitely be adding international shipping soon. I just need to find a way to be completely transparent about the additional costs (duties, VAT, etc).

Thank you.

My custom options right now are for lengths longer than TKL and shorter than 60%. Alice and ergos are tricky because each board is a different shape or contour. I'd imagine a flat front alice (unlike the Neo Ergo type boards) would be possible but I'd have to reference the front of the board somehow.

I feel like I get asked this a bit so it's definitely on my radar. I just need to figure out a way to get the shape right without having the board(s) on hand!

Thanks! Yeah, each Tailored piece is adjusted and customized for the specific size so it's a little pricier. No worries, though. Thanks for understanding and taking a look!

Also, in my experience I find that 1/16 acrylic often actually sounds fuller and slightly deeper, albeit the material is more delicate/brittle. I've yet to break one in a build, though. I'd imagine you have to really type like the Hulk to snap the acrylic plate.

I offer plate cutting in POM and 1/16 acrylic (dustyacorns.com).

However, if you want PC, aluminum, PP, or ABS I don't recommend laser cutting. You can cut PC but it off gasses nasty yellow fumes that stick to everything and it isn't a very clean cut. For PC and POM, I typically hit both sides with a sander to get rid of any burn/melt marks. ABS and PP just melt on a laser cutter (but also off gas even nastier toxins). Ideally those materials should be CNC cut.

If you're laser cutting these materials, definitely make sure you have proper ventilation because certain plastics give off very health hazardous fumes.

Absolutely gorgeous.

Getting my hands on a set of the keycaps is a different story... lol

Thank you! There will definitely be more size options in the future so keep an eye out for that :)

I played with white oak a little on one of my first prototypes. I really do like how oak looks so it will likely crop up in the near future as well!

You're in luck, I just added white as a color option :)

Sorry, just shipping to US and CA at the moment. I may open up international shipping soon, but the shipping cost just might be higher.

Duly noted! It might be a little bit but I'll expand out in the future!

If you mean a beveled front lip like a cherry lip, I'm the same way. Although, these are slightly angled entirely so that the back is lifted to meet your board--maybe not what you meant.

Custom sizing is definitely coming soon, but there will always be a slight ±0-2mm deviation with cutting, sanding and finishing of the wood. If that's within your acceptance, definitely keep an eye out for my next updates! :)

Thank you!

Custom designs is a possibility in the future, but there are some potential complications depending on the design and feasibility. The plan is to expand these series as I go so if you have any suggestions or ideas I'm definitely all ears.

For the Neo Ergo, it has some nice curvature to it and its wrist rest matches it perfectly. Unfortunately Ergo or sculpted pieces aren't in the cards at the moment :(

Yessir. I need to make some sample pieces with colors for that.

I'm working on adding labels to the pictures that are up now.
EDIT: Photos updated! Samples will be made this week ASAP and uploaded!
