If you would like to see how this started or have questions please see any of the 2 ICs listed below. I suspect most questions can be answered by reading these.
Black Bird IC:
https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=85641.0Orion V1/V2 IC:
https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=85723.0What:Weight inserts for the Duck Black Bird and Orion V1/V2 keyboards available in Brass and Stainless Steel. Engraving optional. Please note that the weight fits both the Orion V1 and V2.
Orion Weight: 1.25 lbs (.56 kg)
Black Bird Weight: 13-14 oz (.36-.39) kg
Tungsten is indeed an option, but you gotta have deep pockets. The option is in the form and will require you to message me directly about it. It's more than twice as dense as brass.
Price - these are for either Black Bird or Orion weights ONLY. Blank Brass: $60
Engraved Brass: $70
Blank Stainless Steel: $45
Engraved Stainless Steel: $55

What happened to the Eagle/Viper weight?That's happening next. Hopefully in 2-3 months.
Why are the prices so high/much higher than Octagon V2 weightThe Octagon V2 weight was my first GB, and admittedly both my manufacturer and I made mistakes and underestimated quite a few things. The end result was that the prices were actually much cheaper than they should have been for what we wanted.
Is Tungsten a joke?Yes and No. Yes as in it started off as a pipe dream because people were complaining that the BB weight was too light. We talked about tungsten, depleted uranium, gold, platinum etc etc. All these are much heavier than the stainless steel and brass options. No as in...there are actually people with deep pockets who want to see this, so I've left it as an option. Tungsten is the most affordable out of the lot, but if someone has the money for gold or platinum, I won't turn them away. It's just.....I'd rather go buy a car than a stinkin weight for my keyboard.
What if I can't pay?I'm running this GB just so that people can have an opportunity to buy a weight such as this. If for some reason or another you can't pay by the deadline and you really want this, shoot me a message. I'm more than willing to work things out for people.
