Real RGB? Does this mean we can now control the color?

Also, I see that we can customize the laser engraving. I hope we can choose to have nothing at all on the body.

I've been hoping they would make it in titanium. I'm probably gonna get one next month.

That’s right, check out https://lemmy.world/post/3287635 for some pics.

I was confused about the engraving but I like your idea to ask for “no engraving” as the option. Only the first 30 get a custom one so maybe everyone else will have the logo engraving.

That's great! I wasn't a big fan of the disco RGB.

It really looks good!

I just remembered, the brass and copper don't have engravings. I wonder if that has to do with the metal, because they get a patina.

In the photo you linked, there's no visible engraving, neither on the product page, unlike the aluminum one.

Edit: Hold on, is it stonewashed? Here, we can see it being stonewashed. I honestly like both, but I think I prefer the stonewashed. Maybe they planned to make both.

There is also an image showing the laser engraving:

It’s getting confusing

Oh sorry I mixed that up, the Wurkkos rep called it “bead-blasted” but that sounds more like stonewashed than brushed.

There were also some alternate finishes for the previews, maybe one will make it into production.

I hope so, I actually really like both finishes.
