If I could get that beige and ornage Schrodinger version you shared on instagram, I might convince myself to join a Group Buy during this apocolypse

[oldcat]

Thanks brother. Stay safe!

[pixelpusher]

I did it. I got the Schrodinger. Reece Conrad is the name the order is under just so you know Just in case you happen to wonder who to send that beige/organge one to. I’m excited about a mystery color. I would worry that I might not have a keycap set to go with it… but then I remembered that I have a few hundred keycap sets…

Schro

What does the schrodinger verison look like? I can’t quite find it on their insta

[pixelpusher]

It’s a random color option of his choosing. He’s posted a couple of ideas so far

The color case used in the Alexotos stream/video. Is that the RoboCop one?

[ButterMilkJesus]

By the way, in the last week, I have been having problems trying to reach your website. To be honest, this morning (EU Time), was the first time I could enter your website.

[skepp]

I love that orange+cream combo. Wish I could order it.

[semond]

He seems to have a case from mixed parts.

The top case, bottom case, and weight all seem to be RoboCop.

The LED Badge should be black (not gray), the back badge should be white (not gold), and the front/right thing should be black (not gold).

It doesn’t fit with any of the kits, but I think he said it’s a sort of prototype.

[ButterMilkJesus]

Thank you so much for your answer! Too bad it’s a prototype. It looks really good. Especially with the GMK 8008.

[skepp]

Let me build this!

[pixelpusher]

I bought the schrodinger version just on the off chance that I would get that combo It’s beautiful.

[skepp]

That’s sounds like a big gamble! I got the impression that it’s just a mix of the existing colors.

But I wish you luck!

Me on the other hand ordered the keycaps without a suitable board or the slightest idea if I like SA.

[pixelpusher]

I mean, I have 40 or 50 or hell who knows how many keyboards. Might as well gamble on one that might be a funky color

[skepp]

U should order one more for better odds then.

[pixelpusher]

oh, that’s kinda brilliant!

[skepp]

Might be cheaper to get it painted by a pro tho…

[FSund]

Schrodinger is not a mix of the existing colors, but custom combinations like in the image above.

To quote Airpotter:

it will be one of the several (mysterious) new colorways I will experiment with and end up being happy with. It will not be one of the regular colorways and it is not random. It is just you won’t know the color before you observe it.

[skepp]

That’s good to know.
But would I be able to return it and get a refund if I don’t get a color I like?
