  • Frost

  • Slate

  • Moss

  • Dune

  • Drift

  • Carbon

  • Walnut

    Expertly crafted from premium North American black walnut, this piece is precision-machined and seamlessly fused with a hand-poured artisan epoxy resin insert. A high-gloss finish enhances the rich wood grain and sleek resin, creating a striking blend of natural beauty and modern refinement.

  • Oak

    Meticulously machined from high-quality North American white oak, this piece is elegantly bonded with a cast artisan epoxy resin insert. Finished with a lustrous high-gloss polish, it highlights the wood’s natural warmth while adding a contemporary touch of sophistication.

  • Brass

    Precision machined from high-quality brass, this piece features a sandblasted texture for a refined, matte appearance. A protective clear coat enhances durability while preserving the raw elegance of the brass. Where joined with epoxy, the epoxy surface features a high-gloss finish, creating a striking contrast of textures.

  • Epoxy Resin

    This artisan epoxy resin features a glossy surface that reveals captivating, delicate strands and cloud-like effects within, creating a mesmerizing depth and complexity. Designed to complement the anodized aluminum case, the blend of colors forms a striking, one-of-a-kind piece. Each design is truly unique, with subtle variations that make it special.

RESIN CUSTOMISΛTION

  • Metal Flakes

    Choose from silver, copper, or gold flakes, each carefully placed within the resin for a distinctive look.

  • Pearlescent Powder

    Add a subtle shimmer to the resin, either throughout the entire piece or as sparkly accents in specific areas.

  • Custom Colours

    Have a specific color in mind? Provide a reference, and we’ll match it as closely as possible.

  • Custom Options

    For additional customizations beyond those listed, we'll assess the feasibility on a case-by-case basis. Please reach out for more information.

  • Process

    1. Place Your Order
      Fill in the customization options during your order.
    2. Order Review
      If there are no issues and we’re confident in the feasibility of your request, we’ll proceed with crafting your piece. You will only hear from us once we have samples of your part ready for approval.
    3. Email Communication
      If we are unsure of your request or have any concerns regarding its feasibility, we will reach out to you to clarify and work toward a solution.
  • Important Notes

    • We reserve the right to refuse any customization requests if we feel they are not achievable or aligned with our quality standards.
    • All custom requests are reviewed on a case-by-case basis to ensure the best possible outcome for your project.
    • Owing to the nature of the process in which the resin is made, the final result may differ slightly from your original vision. Each piece is unique, and we cannot guarantee that the final product will be an exact match to what you envisioned. 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.
