JJW Play Tray V2 - Pre-Order
Estimated Shipping Q1 2025
What goes around, comes back around.
Two years ago, the initial debut of PLAY TRAY was met with positive reception - in a hobby where we yearn for excess amounts of anodized aluminum, a premium multi-purpose tray with a novel 'spin' was more than welcome.
For those who have been waiting for its return, we have good news. The desktop novelty has made its way back around; this time with a number of updates to warrant Play Tray V2.
Refined, coherent design language: The angled chamfer ('HG sides') and hard lines on the perimeter of Play Tray are no more. With round, oversized fillets and a new plump kettlebell profile, V2 has a cleaner and softer aesthetic.
Two-in-one compartment tray: Play Tray V2 features a lid over the center compartment that friction-fits into place, hiding any stowaway screws and parts. In addition, the lid doubles as a separate magnetized mini-me tray, perfect for building keyboards with multiple screw types.
Stackable, quality-of-life changes: In addition to the other adjustments, V2 has some QOL improvements throughout. If you have multiple trays, they now stack securely on top of each other with aligned grooves in the base. Die-cut feet from V1 have been upgraded to injection-molded filleted rubber feet. More carefully-vetted manufacturing lends itself to cleaner and more consistent machining / finishing.
Of course, we've made sure the backstory is alive and well: V2 includes the option to be engraved* with a newly-illustrated feline friend, nestled within the inner surface of the tray. Hidden beneath the cover is a cute kitten snuggled comfortably into a ball!
Engraving option is only available with certain anodization color choices (black, pink, lilac). Illustrated by Shannie.
