IMPORTΛNT INFORMΛTION

Resin & Render Accuracy

The resin parts shown in renders are only approximations. Due to the production process and nature of resin casting, the swirls, depth and colour distribution will vary between each piece. For a more accurate representation, please refer to the example photos.

Should there be a large enough volume of resin parts produced, we will try our best to match them across your keyboard so that everything looks cohesive and consistent.

USA Tariff & Country of Origin Information

For international customers - particularly in the USA - import duties depend
on the product’s country of origin:

  • Orders including wooden or resin components → Classified as a Product of the UK.
  • Orders without wooden or resin components (Brass Accent) → Likely
    to be classified as a Product of China.

Chinese-origin goods are subject to a substantially higher tariff than those applied to UK-origin goods:

  • As of mid-2025, the tariff for UK-origin goods imported into the USA is 10%.
  • For Chinese-origin goods, many items are subject to approximately 30% in total tariffs.
  • Aluminium, steel and related products may be subject to up to 50% additional tariffs.

In addition, as of 29 August 2025 the de minimis exemption for goods under $800 has been removed and duties apply regardless of shipment value.

Customs & Declaration Policy

We will not underdeclare the value or misrepresent product origin under any circumstances. All customs paperwork will accurately reflect the true value and components of your order.

Quality Standards & Material Variation

Because FRΛGMENT combines machined parts with handmade and hand-finished components, the criteria for what is considered a defect varies.

For machined components (Aluminium, Brass and Plate Materials), the quality standards are defined as follows:

  • A-Stock: All external surfaces should be free from visible flaws and as close to flawless as possible. Small internal imperfections, not visible once assembled, are acceptable.
  • B-Stock: External faces may show minor cosmetic flaws (tiny blemishes, light polish marks, or slight finish inconsistencies), but still meet our functional and aesthetic standards.

For handmade elements (wood, resin, etc.), the standard cannot be identical to fully machine-perfect finishes:

  • Wood may display natural grain variation, knots, or other inherent features.
  • Resin parts may have minor hand-polished marks and will remain free from significant colour/ink drop-through reaching the surface.
  • Both wood and resin are natural / handcrafted materials. Each piece will therefore be unique. Variations in grain, tone, colour, resin swirls, or finish are normal and part of the individuality of the product - not defects.

Please refer to [This Page] for photo examples of what is considered a flaw in resin parts and what qualifies as A-Stock, B-Stock, or failure.

Manufacturing & Logistics

Production is split between multiple locations: resin components are produced in the UK; wooden parts are machined in China and then hand-finished in the UK.

Final assembly, quality control, and distribution are handled in the UK.

• When the group buy ends, we will place orders for production samples. These samples will be inspected and approved before full production begins.

• I will personally visit the factories to approve the tooling, finishing, and prototype units before releasing funds for the main production order.

• We will likely revisit during production (midway) to check quality, then again at the end before the batch is shipped to the UK.

• We are also exploring payment / order methods to protect your money — either placing orders through Alibaba with their Trade Assurance, or using a Letter of Credit via our bank.

All dates shown are estimated. We do our best to meet them, but delays may occur due to manufacturing issues, shipping, customs, or quality control. We will update you if anything changes.

However, we will work closely with you to ensure your creation is one-of-a-kind and special.

MOUNTING SYSTEMS

Plateless O-Ring

FRΛGMENT utilizes an improved version of the gummy O-ring system used in the QUΛNTUM60, addressing every aspect for improved performance. Previously, metal standoffs were used to hold the O-ring in place, but if pressed hard on the assembly, they could contact with the bottom case, potentially causing metallic sounds or harsh points; however, this is highly unlikely under normal use.

The new design features a fully custom O-ring with molded-in standoffs that pass through the PCB. Dual-material clips secure the O-ring from above - the soft material aligns with the case to reduce resonance, while the hard material ensures the O-ring stays firmly in place. Additionally, the latest revision maintains compatibility with both plate and plateless configurations while significantly simplifying assembly, requiring the removal of just seven screws to remove the PCB assembly.

Top Mount

For those who prefer a firmer, more traditional typing experience, FRΛGMENT also supports a top-mount configuration.

INTERNAL SCREWS

FRΛGMENT utilizes seven magnetic screws positioned above the plate at a 45° angle. Unlike conventional hidden screw designs, which can be difficult to reach internally, this system keeps everything easily accessible from above making assembly and disassembly quicker and easier.

There are screws from both above and below due to the complexity, material choices, and number of parts. Placing the final assembly screws on the underside would make assembly and disassembly far more tedious. Instead, aesthetic brass screws secure the backplate on the underside, with easily accessible screws from above to improve the overall user experience.

Extra Parts

PROTOTYPE v0.1.5

This first prototype serves as a proof of concept and a foundation for refining the second version. The prototype naming system follows this format: the first number represents the production run (0 for pre-production), the second indicates the specific prototype ordered (1 for first prototype, 2 for second) and the third tracks the number of major design iterations before the prototype was ordered.

The top case colour in this prototype is the final Frost colourway, however, the bottom case is a warmer version of the Slate colour that will not be offered.

The resin accents in this prototype were made using an older method, which has since been improved to enhance depth and ensure greater consistency for larger production runs. Personally, I prefer the updated resin pieces. Images of these revisions will be added to the configurator as they become available. The resin in this prototype also isn’t a perfect match to the case colours, but this will be refined as production approaches

This prototype had a few issues which have been addressed for prototype v0.2.4:

  • The design of the front accent caused the front of the bottom case to bow, leading to misalignment and an inconsistent sound profile.
  • The tension from the O-Ring would cause the PCB to bow, affecting the alignment with the top case.
  • The backplate cutout in the bottom case introduced an unpredictable sound profile, influenced by how tightly it was screwed in place, machining tolerance variations and other factors that cannot be controlled.

PROTOTYPE v0.2.3

Prototype v0.2.3 is near-final, with only minor refinements remaining. The case colours Moss and Dune are confirmed. The resin pattern and design are final, though colour matching and variation control are still being improved.

This version tested a high-gloss resin-coated finish for the wooden components, but due to the difficulty and high failure rate of the process, production units will instead feature a matte wood finish. The internal mounting system is also being slightly revised, along with small changes to reduce manufacturing costs. The brass finish will be updated as the current clear coat wears too quickly.
