[GB] Fusion60 (70% Shipped and Received )

[Vulcan]

Welcome to Fusion60 Group Buy.


Fusion60 inspired by 2 of the most well known keyboard case, Fjell and Kira. Design by Vulcan and manufactured by Kbdfans It features a heavy 2.5kg modern 8 degree case, with thick bevels builds from solid aluminum and brass block that are CNC Machined to maintain precision in quality.

F60 comes with a custom made PCB that can form side glow light effect that bleeds from the signature geometrical side cut out. Although it comes with a custom PCB, F60 also supports universal 60% PCB such as  DZ60, 6X, Zeal and many more.

Specifications ;

- 60% (Standard, Winkeyless, HHKB)
- High Profile
- Top Mount
- 8 Degree Angle
- Case Material: Aluminium
- Weight Material: Brass
- Case Finish: Bead Blasted and Anodized
- Plate material: 1.5 mm Brass
- Supports most PCBs
- 2kg

Fusion60 kit Include :

- Aluminum Case
- Brass weight（Sandblasting）
- Brass plate（Sandblasting）
- PCB （QMK Firmware）
- Stabilizers (Cherry Stabilizers )
- Screws

Note :

If you are using the Fusion60 PCB and want to have side glow effect you will need to do this :
- Carefully separate both sides LED PCB from the main PCB
- Solder 4 cable each side of the LED PCB to the main PCB
- Screw both LED PCB to the top case
The reason we do this is because we need to place the LED just a bit higher than the PCB and get it as close as possible to the side to get a bright bleeding effect.
We have already tried many methods but this one works best.

This LED assembly is a bit hard and takes trial and error.. I know it's not the best design, but it's the best i can do to keep the PCB key layout and the price low.

I've waited very long since this was in the Interest Check phase. Placed my order for a Black case to match with GMK Terminal.

[coffeeshopcoder]

All the best with the GB, looks like the 50 were sold off within a day !
I have my orders for the gold and the burgundy placed !!
Looking forward to it.

[coffeeshopcoder]

Vulcan - can you update the total units if there is a limit anymore ?

[Vulcan]

it's suppose to be 50 case only,

There is a bit miss communication from me and kbdfans,maybe they didn't get my message about the 50 limitation.. and this is my mistake not to confirm to them about 50 limitation

Im very sorry for this, im not trying to do scam, I will try my best to stop collecting order.

yesterday i have already message them about the 50 limitation but haven't got reply.. today i will try again.

Thanks for updating this Vulcan. It seems to be over the 50 case limit now though, would you now cancel the orders after the cut off? Or would you just go through with making the orders placed after the original 50?

[Lotsati]

Looks like the page from KBDfans is no longer there anymore so it's looking like that'll be it for orders. Wanted to pick one up later this month

[laserbeamspewpew]

So how many orders got through?

[Vulcan]

Group Buy closed at 59 case order

[temp0321]

There is a gold case color right? I've asked Wei to change my order from grey to gold since he added gold option later

[Poesjuh]

Even though it was supposedly limited to 50, then it wasn't, suddenly closing it also doesn't seem the right thing to do imo. Some people might have seen the time-line and thought "I'll wait a bit" for whatever reason and now can't get it anymore. I know I somewhat was but in a way glad I can't get it. Better for my wallet.

[hsunwoo1221]

Yeah.. I was thinking of picking one up later since it said 30 for each colors on kbdfans. Kinda confused to see it suddenly closed although I knew that it had a limitation. I kinda think the limitation should have been mentioned in the GB thread too.

Im very sorry for the miscommunication that happen between Me, Kbdfans and the factory... I'm very open to suggestion and ideas to make this situation better. again, im very sorry

at one point i want it to keep it at 50 because at IC proses i said so and some people want this board because it's limited.

at the other point i messed up by not reminding Kbdfans about the 50 limitation.. so some people that could have got it cant get it..

[otanishock]

I'm assuming this board will be manufactured through Wei and kbdfans? So somewhat of similar finish and texture to a Tofu?

[Vulcan]

Yes.. correct

[otanishock]

Yes.. correct

Thanks! That should answer all of the questions I was gonna ask. Good luck with GB!

May I suggest for the orders over 59 order cut-off, you can do a raffle for 10%-15% extra = 6 - 9 extra orders so total will be 66 - 69 boards will be made.

[gnhuy91]

can you do a render of WKL dark blue with gmk nautilus? ordered HHKB but thinking of switching to WKL, thanks anyway

[laserbeamspewpew]

If I want to change a couple things about my order, when is the last day to do this?

[Gonsterek]

If I want to change a couple things about my order, when is the last day to do this?

i think that's up to kbdfans

[spuxx]

I am one of the 50+ orders, does this mean that my order will be canceled since you wanted to keep the GB at exactly 50 units?

[coffeeshopcoder]

The only miscommunication here was when the buy went live on KBDFans, the limit was not shown and the listing looked like a 1-month buy, and the buy itself went live earlier than scheduled.
On the IC thread you can see a bunch of folks, myself included, discussing the order number discrepancy and cheering the fact that there does not seem to be a limit. Vulcan & KBDfans obviously have the right to stop orders at anytime they feel they have taken in whats comfortable for them to produce. The 50 board limit and the FCFS nature of the buy was disclosed in the IC thread for weeks, if not months.
Vulcan also said that his reason to have a limit was simple to do better QA, since this is his first GB and he wanted a manageable load.

[coffeeshopcoder]

@Vulcan - would you/kbdfans be putting together an order list spreadsheet ?

[mog_genius88]

I think both parties had good intentions but unfortunately miscommunication does happen from time to time.

I'm optimistic though. I think if this finishes well we could even see KBDFans stock this product in their store (or at least have future GBs).

[Vulcan]

Sure, but not any time soon, i will be out of town for 1-2 weeks, after that i will do it for you.

I really cant do that, I think this will make things complicated.

As soon as possible, go chat kbdfans.. because this GB closed early maybe, Kbdfans will also submit it to factory early also..

I am one of the 50+ orders, does this mean that my order will be canceled since you wanted to keep the GB at exactly 50 units?

No, because it's my fault, i think it's not fair to cancel order that are already placed.

Thank you for understanding and sharing your thoughts..

@Vulcan - would you/kbdfans be putting together an order list spreadsheet ?

If i have the order list i will definitely do that, but for now i dont have it, For checking order i suggest you to message Kbdfans to make sure they have your order correct. just top cross check

I think both parties had good intentions but unfortunately miscommunication does happen from time to time.

I'm optimistic though. I think if this finishes well we could even see KBDFans stock this product in their store (or at least have future GBs).

if things go well i will there will be R2 considering there are still many people wanting thing board.

[coffeeshopcoder]

Vulcan - thanks for answering all the questions here bro.
Don’t bother about the order list- if no orders will be cancelled (good decision!!)
Then everyone will have thier invoices from kbdfans to track thier orders.

The interest in this board is certainly very positive, and if this buy concludes well, you should definitely do an R2!!

[tiydal]

Can we have the plate file now please? Id like to make some adjustments and get one ordered before this arrives.

Thanks

This is a very nice and generous move, I am happy I can still be part of this GB and am looking forward to receiving this amazing board!

[1023andy]

Do you any plans to do r2 in the future?

[Vulcan]

Do you any plans to do r2 in the future?

Yes, If kbdfans still want to be in partnership with me

I second this. Hope you, Vulcan, can see the colors and design of the product to finalize it.
