Vibrocube Standard Upgraded: Deluxe jeweled spring-loaded movement iambic paddle with ECO-BLACK powdercoated textured base and top parts.
SIX POUNDS OF SOLID STEEL
The VIBROCUBE registers just under 6 pounds on the scale. The base is USA-forged cold rolled steel, upper components are zinc, steel and brass. Finger pieces are hard red acrylic. True spring loaded tensioning provides a greater range of possible tension settings than magnets allow.
IT'S BIG?
Not really! The base measures 1.5" H x 3.5" W x 3.5" D, the overall height of the key with rubber feet installed is 4.25". The large oversize acrylic finger pieces are 2.125" at their tallest point. See the illustration below of the red acrylic finger piece used on VIBROCUBE versus the standard finger piece as used on the Vibroplex Iambic Standard paddle. Large paddles accomodate a large hand easily and take minimal hand movement to use.
IT'S TOUGH
This is not a fragile, delicate device. All parts except the finger pieces and the two decorative top jewels are metal. The base, mainframe, and lever bars are electrostatic powdercoated in a wrinkle black finish. It's difficult to chip or scratch the paint. Adjustment components are chromed brass; the contact points are coin-grade silver. Four non-stick rubber feet are affixed to the bottom for extra non-movement stability.
IT'S MADE IN USA
It's not merely "assembled in USA" - parts and components used on VIBROPLEX are American made and all assembly is done at Vibroplex in Knoxville, TN.
