Thanks!

Should I fill this form out if I already filled the last one?

[elton5354]

Same form

[tribade]

Done! Holy crap I'm excited

[HannibalChew]

How much will it cost?

[rockhawksam]

By filling out the form am I committing to buying this? Not sure if I will have enough by then but I need this keyboard! 

[geniekid]

Really wish there was an option for a case with less incline.

[yicaoyimu]

Does Viper support full board LED? I know Eagle does so I think Viper should too but I haven't seen any picture of Viper with LED on.

[Zeal]

Already filled the form in the previous thread, very excited for this. 

[jwaz]

okay, I'll bite. In for a Viper, I'm guessing there will be more anodizing/ powder coating options? (hopefully something that looks good with Penumbra )

[yuiop]

Screw your HHKB.  Get a Viper and be happy

Both. Get both.

Get a Viper and be happy

Both. Get both.

This is the best advice in this thread. A true Wallethack answer

Probably only if you do it yourself. Most of the Duck buys have offered only silver, a blueish grey, and black. The lightsaver V2 had a red option.

I voted for both.

I can't say no.

My wallet is gong to be mad at me.

What do people think of the blueish grey in person?

So this is a cherry MX based PCB, I've seen on the site he does some Alps projects, any chance there is a compatible Alps PCB?

when, i ask, will we see beige anodizing? has science gone too far?

[jwaz]

beige powder coating would be siiick. I'm not sure how well the anodizing would work.

[Latin00032]

Beige or some off white cookie would be great as a powder coat.

[metalliqaz]

That's a pretty good price for a Duck. 

[duq]

Filled.

[acantha]

goddamnit. as if i wasn't already broke enough with all the goddamned lego coming out this summer...

[SpAmRaY]

It might be time for my first korean board.

[tjweir]

Oh my... too hot.

Going to have to sell one of my GH60s for this.

[Rewind]

Definitely in for a Viper or 2!

[acantha]

oh man, i just realized, with a name like viper, i'm totally going to have to have to put together some keys to match the colonial viper coloration:

[mashby]

Thank you for doing this elton -- form filled out.

Dat Viper love.

Now who's the one that put 'None' instead of 0?

[SpAmRaY]

I did the form twice and in my excitement marked both as 1, however I am only interested in 1 Viper and 0 Eagles.

[niichie]

Pretty new here so sorry if this is a dumb question, but when I fill out the form how long do I have to pay for the board?

You won't have to pay till the actual group buy is underway, this is just a check to gauge interest in the buy.

[yicaoyimu]

So much interest for those Duck boards these days. It feels like a big party. Woo~  )

[findingthelimit]

this might be a stupid question... but i filled out for a eagle and not for a viper, and i'm wondering why most people like the viper more? isn't the eagle exactly the same, except the layout allows for two more keys, instead of control and alt in separate places?

I guess people are just bored of the traditional 60% aluminum cases. There are already an abundance of poker styled cases in the wild, but the Viper is the first HHKB style case without using blockers.

The Eagle does have more flexibility, but if you like the layout of the HHKB, then the Viper is the board to get. The case is elegant and as I understand it, the PCB is cut to fit into the one-piece case.

With the exception of the KMAC Happy.

With the exception of the KMAC Happy.

Which is priced in a way where you could get both of these instead and have both layouts.

[StylinGreymon]

Already filled out the form, but I still wanna show my interest.
I hope the blue-grey looks good with Granite.

Also, should I go with lubed blacks, or clears?

[HoffmanMyster]

Filled the form out in the old thread and I'm really excited for Viper to come my way.   

[Latin00032]

Any assembly options?

[elton5354]

Possibly..

[billnye]

So interested in the Viper! Seems like a great price!

[tjweir]

Possibly..

Is there anything to do beyond soldering switches and LEDs?

[mousesony]

Do you know if you're going to be able to get those blockers with this elton?

[elton5354]

That's all!

Do you know if you're going to be able to get those blockers with this elton?

You want blockers for the Eagle?  If it's available, probably limited to silver or black.

[b7ad]

Awesome! If there are assembly options probably would be interested in both, otherwise one is enough for me to tackle myself at the moment. Excited for this either way!

goddamnit. as if i wasn't already broke enough with all the goddamned lego coming out this summer...

+1. 

I need to sell more stuff, but this is a fantastic deal for all that's included.

Just out of curiousity, I noticed some of the pics showed a dedicated number pad unit.  Is that going to be offered as well, or just the two different keyboards?

There's another group buy by Elton for that Butterfly Pad a long time ago. I wish Duck could do another round though.
