End of the year update

End of the year update

Hey everyone!

let’s get to our first post-pre-order update and the last update of this year.

We want to thank you again for your overwhelming support. Considering the current recession, we never expected to sell out all the units, yet alone in under 6 minutes. 2022 was an incredible ride, thank you for sticking around, we are happy to have you on board.

Most popular variants of the Series One run were as expected Moloko and Pale Peach. The rarest variants will be Solaris and Aurora, which featured as timed exclusive variant in mykeyboard store as our little thank you for their prototyping support. The production phase of Werk One has already begun. Right now we are on track and plan to give you guys regular updates, as soon as there is something worthwhile to report about the production process. We spent 2022 not just polishing the Werk One design and prototyping, but we have been building up a partnership with our manufacturer and been optimizing the supply chains. Right now we are not facing any major delays.

One big question still remains: we have the option to go with custom packaging OR with a case. Custom packaging would offer a more premium unboxing experience and we could get rather creative with it. Still, we are aware that many people in the community prefer a case for their custom keyboards for plain practical reasons. Since it would be great to hear your preference, we set up a poll on our discord in the announcements channel.

 


2023 promises to be even more of a fun ride. Apart of Werk One manufacturing, we are entering the final prototyping phase of Werk Instrument. A 6u magnetic mount macropad. We are really looking forward to share more technical details about it soon. One of the biggest things 2023 will be the announcement of the Werk Triad, our next keyboard design. As for werktechnica.studio page, we decided to hold it back for beginning of 2023 and polish the interactive elements a little bit more. We hope that the stuff we prepared for you folks will keep you entertained while you are waiting for Werk One units to ship, especially considering the many easter eggs and behind the curtains development process sneak peeks.

 


We wish you happy holidays, see you next year @everyone!

WELCOME TO WERK.TECHNICA

Hey everyone!

Welcome to werk.technica. We hope you are having a smooth pre-order experience and have fun exploring this page.

If you are enjoying yourself and the question if werk.technica designers have been smoking the wacky-backy again doesn’t bother you too much, you might want to visit our interactive studio page too: www.werktechnica.studio. Our little hommage to Moebius and futurist 70’s design.

There you will find many artworks we created during the development process of Werk One in collaboration with the artist Dennis Kreker:

Additionally, you will find plenty of work in progress images from our old and ongoing design projects, those are hidden behind... well, let’s  say you might want to explore the page a bit.

The page will go live in the next days.

It’s been a long journey for many of you who have been following the development of Werk One for the past 2 years+. Just as with the transparent development process of the design which you could experience on our discord, it will remain the same for the production of the group buy units. You will be able to follow the production process here in this blog and as usual on our discord.

For those of you who are unfamiliar with our discord server,you are welcome to drop by, it’s a fun place to stick around and chat with the team and our community: discord.com/invite/werktechnica

Right now we are collecting feedback on the page design, optimizing things and polishing remaining rough edges. Don’t hesitate to reach out with suggestions and ideas via contact form or directly on our discord.

If you have questions regarding your pre-order or want to combine orders, reach out to Zaum directly on discord or via contact form on this page.

We have a lot more going in the background that we cannot wait to reveal! =)

Have a nice stay and thanks for your ongoing support!

Zaum
