Grading Policy

A keyboard sold as "A" Stock has passed the following criteria:

• No major flaws such as heavy scratches or dents greater than 3x3 mm on external surface on the custom keyboard case visible in the fully assembled state.
• No or minimal variances in anodizing and finish color.
• No or minor imperfections on exterior components not custom-produced for the keyboard, such as screws and rubber feet, which do not affect the functionality of the unit.
• Structure assembles properly.
• Keyboard functions properly.

Flaws acceptable on an "A-" Stock unit include the following, but are not limited to:

• Any external flaws such as anodizing streaks, machining marks, and scratches, provided they do not impact the functionality of the unit.
• Imperfections on plate detailing or engravings.

Flaws acceptable on an "B" Stock unit include the following, but are not limited to:

• Flaws on exterior surfaces (including chips, dents, and cracks) visible following assembly which are deemed to not be of extreme nature during usage.

Grading Practice

• Any unit without a grade explicitly stated is inherently sold as A-stock. Internal surfaces are not considered by the grading policy.
• Project W reserves the right to make its decisions regarding the categorization of its sold units under the grading given, and the most recent revision of this policy will always apply.
• If a unit is found to be lesser than the grade marked for sale, clear evidence of the imperfection must be provided. Project W reserves the right to make decisions accepting or rejecting the given claims of quality.
