Product Roadmap & Company Goals
Our journey from custom keycaps to full mechanical keyboards and beyond. Here's what we've accomplished, what we're working on now, and where we're headed next.
Q1 2020
completed
Foundation & First Funds
Raised seed money by selling embroidered WPM-logo hoodies and taking contract screen-print/embroidery jobs. Bought first FDM printer (Creality CR-10).
Key Achievements:
- Hoodie drop funded R&D
- Service work paid ongoing expenses
- First in-house prototyping capability
CY 2021
completed
CAD Maturity & Core Team Built
Streamlined internal CAD → photorealistic renders. CEO Michael shut down prior software company to go full-time; César joined as mechanical engineer; EE tasks outsourced.
Key Achievements:
- Established full-time product focus
- Mechanical / electrical disciplines covered
- Rev-1 keyboard design frozen for prototyping
CY 2022
completed
Rapid Prototyping & First PCBs
Added CR-6 Max FDM printer + CO₂ laser for gasket R&D. Four outsourced keyboard samples + first PCBs distributed to team.
Key Achievements:
- Design-validate-iterate loop in weeks, not months
- In-hand 65% prototypes & PCBs
- Wood keycap experiments began
CY 2023
completed
Pilot Manufacturing Kick-off
Cerakote trials, Prusa MK3S+ for quality prints, PCB rev 2. Landed 1,000-unit contract order → first taste of volume ops.
Key Achievements:
- Finish options validated (Cerakote)
- Reliable print farm online
- Cash-flow positive on bulk order
Q3 2024
completed
Workshop Build-out & CNC Capability
Converted garage → full shop; upgraded power/lighting; installed Haas Mini Mill. First aluminum keyboard fully machined in-house (30 Oct). Added media-blast booth + 20 W fiber laser.
Key Achievements:
- End-to-end CNC workflow proven
- Keycap machining runs for practice
- On-site engraving ready
Q1 2025
in-progress
CNC Aluminum Keycaps — Mass Production
Batch keycap production started 6 Feb; anodizing & corporate branding services live (Mar).
Progress:
- Daily CNC+blast+anodize line running
- B2B logo engraving service launched
- Yield > 95% on Type III hard-coat
Q2 2025
planned
Expanded Materials (Brass, Ti, Woods)
Toolpaths, fixturing, and finishing recipes for high-end metals & sustainable exotic woods.
Key Goals:
- Lock suppliers for C360 brass & Ti-6Al-4V
- Cut + tumble + polish workflow tuned per material
- Eco-certified wood blanks stocked
July 2025
planned
Community Showcase @ OpenSauce
Booth with live machining demo; giving away custom-branded aluminum keycaps & merch.
Key Goals:
- 1,000+ event-branded caps produced
- Capture mailing-list sign-ups & beta testers
- On-site survey to refine SLS product ideas
August 2025
planned
SLS Printing Capability Online
Install industrial nylon SLS printer for complex keycaps, internal keyboard parts, and metal-cap masters.
Key Goals:
- Commission machine; qualify PA12 & GF-nylon
- Build parametric "customizer" app for users
- Post-process line (dye + vapor-smooth) finalized
Q4 2025
planned
Artisan Sets & Desk Accessories
Limited-run themed keycap sets with matching wrist-rests, cables, desk mats. Collector packaging with numbered COAs.
Key Goals:
- Design 3 cohesive themes
- Accessory supply chain locked
- Pre-order portal + fulfillment workflow
Q2 2026
future
Complete Mechanical Keyboard Launch
Flagship board with custom switches, SLS internals, and CNC metal case.
Key Goals:
- Proprietary hot-swap PCB w/ per-key RGB
- In-house linear & tactile switch line
- ISO/ANSI variants assembled & tested
