Too bad I'm broke.
Too bad I'm broke.
Ordered! I hope I don't need to move for the 12 months.
So this does only have ANSI support right?
Can we actually order two types of bottom parts? :s
Don't think so the left shift seems to only be 2.25 and not 1.25 + 1:/So this does only have ANSI support right?
Take a look at the picture, it looks like there's ISO support.
duck feet tho!
can't choose between them and acrylic bottom :confused: :confused: :confused:
I was told 2 months estimated time of shipping, but that was what I was told for Orion, so just FYI.
Places! Accidentally put in for 2 sets of Duck feet but it's fine in the end =3
Hopefully I get in on this one because I missed out on the Orion and have been wanting another 75% lately

Hee I did the same mistake! Thought to myself: well just run with it, life's short
edit: nooo you're 33 :(

Tea is the cheapest hobby I participate in with audio / photography being on the upper end.
I remember when I sold my W3000anv when I first started keyboarding and got a ton of stuff with that money.
However having a girlfriend is easily the most expensive hobby...

You have different grades of tea as well as styles of preparation and just collecting and using teaware.
For example a decent yixing clay teapot will run about $100 and the more hardcore enthusiasts will have 1 for each type of tea they drink due to how it "absorbs" flavor.
Obviously the grades of tea are like getting better coffee beans, better wine, etc.
Then the preparation styles are different for Japanese teas, Chinese, etc.
I wouldn't consider the person that just buys a few boxes of tea a hobbyist though =P
Just ordered three of these. I'm numb from the joy and pain.

a layout question:
not quite clear about the PCB image, wondering if it supports HHKB layout?
i.e. split the backspace key and the right shift key.

There is no split spacebar and the right shift is already shortened due to the arrow keys.

Too bad the this don't havu the alps option :'(
Missed the orion v2 and I waited for the octagon and hoping that there will be an alps option an damn no option so I have to skip this GBToo bad the this don't havu the alps option :'(
Indeed. Maybe in the future, and if not, I'm gonna have to take a drill to it and have someone make up a custom plate. If this had the plastic plate option the Orion had, then I could just modify the plate myself. I could even do it with aluminum, but I'd rather not have to endure doing all that by hand haha when it comes to aluminum.
I'll reply to everyone's PM when I have time at lunch or after work at home.
I just updated the spreadsheet and there are over 70 orders. :O Much more than anticipated. Some are double orders, so I'm not sure if they're mistakes or not. Let me know....
MX PCB + Plate - $72 USD
Hey sorry if this was answered earlier, but:It doesn't allow switch top removal. There are a bunch of bottom row options,look at the pics in the first post, one of them shows the bottom row configurations. Yeah that cost is for an extra plate and pcb on top of your order.
Does your top plate allow opening switches without desoldering?Is there only a winkeyless layout or I can have a winkey bottom row?found a winkey here (http://cfile4.uf.tistory.com/image/260D1C4D565929F51536CA)
And also:QuoteMX PCB + Plate - $72 USD
Means ordering one more set of PCB+plate on top of original order?
And Micro-USB or Mini-USB?

The v2 is definitely going to dwarf the popularity of the v1. Hehe. It's going to be interesting to see this take off. Jeez. 72 and it hasn't even been up for a day yet. Crazy stuff. The first one only had like 27 orders and 35 individual boards sold.

Silver was the least common color from v1. Then red, then black, then blue grey. Blue grey was the most popular color in the first Octagon GB.

Ugh. Thank goodness I saw this late. My wallet is at a bit of an ease, for now.Just ordered three of these. I'm numb from the joy and pain.
That's a little...bogus. But I guess there's no limit. :mad:
bah ~ i'm a little conflicted -- I lean towards tactile switches, but I do own boards w/ linear switches (and enjoy them as well)
Is having a steel plate w/ tactile switches not an ideal circumstance? I know this kind of determination can get rather subjective, and I've read many opinions that advocate for the usage of tactiles on aluminum plates ("for the feel"), but it made me wonder if difference was really all that significant. Any input is appreciated!

I picked aluminium as I find the stainless steel ones easier to scratch. The aluminium ones have a sandblasted finish while the steel ones have a brushed finish. I hope this helps!

certainly a factor to consider, thank you! I simply chose steel plate because I selected the acrylic bottom and wanted to add some weight --it wasn't until later that I thought about how it would affect the feel of certain switch-types

I never thought of this, mainly because I'm a n00b. So how exactly does each plate type affect the feel? I ordered aluminum??
KetckhyKech you basically got the right idea. However I can guarantee you that the board itself will already weight a ton so opting for a steel plate just for the added weight isn't really a good idea.
A steel plate has the least amount of flex to it, which is what you want for linear switches to have a fluid motion of each key press without any additional "feedback".
An aluminum plate gives a slight bit of flex to it, which is good for tactile switches to help make the tactility more pronounced. Aluminum tends to give the best sound in terms of tactile switches.
An acrylic plate gives a fair bit of flex, it is best in terms of tactility and also my favorite. I have an acrylic plate with 65g Purple Zealios for my Orion v2 and the typing experience is heavenly. The sound is very muted though with the acrylic plate but another benefit is the even distribution of backlight.

Just what I was looking for, thank you kind sir! (your orion v2 sounds like a dream)
the reassurance on the weight put me at ease -- I'll have to decide if I want this to be a linear or tactile board after all :thumb:

I wonder if the butterfly numpad will ever make another round :p !!! I sure hope so
Could definitely use that ;D

People shouldn't collect boards because of reality, that's the wrong attitude imo. Who cares how rare the board is, buy it to use it.

Lol, I was joking, mang. :P I buy all my boards out of personal visual appeal and functionality! Rarity is a nice thing to gawk about sometimes, but only out of coincidence. I don't like looking for things just out of rarity, there has to be a personal appeal to it beyond that.
But, if something just happens to be rare out of coincidence, I do have that happy dance time in my mind of having something that might be just a little unique! Hey I'm not rich, let me have mine. :PP You are they guy who has a ton of TKLs though, hahaha.
I am not so blessed. I make very calculated and frugal purchases. I can't just buy whatever I want--yet. :P Hehe. Not throwin' any shade though, Steez. You're an awesome dude. I just don't have the finances is all.

Woah no switch top removal? Is it possible to to modify the plate to allow switch top removal? This feature has come in super handy on my Red Scarf 84.
I wasn't accusing you or anything, but there is a lot of people that collect just for the sake of rarity here. If you're going to own a board then use it, otherwise it would be better off with somebody else that would enjoy it. I do have a fair bit of boards but I make sure they all see their use, hence why I'm trying to sell my RS96 since I feel that it doesn't get as much use as it should. I didn't mean anything rude either, I enjoy talking to you on here as well. I'm pretty broke now myself haha so I'm trying to just sell and use that money to buy more boards or items.
Hold on now.. Does Octagon V2 have ISO support?
I am internation student in USA.
Q1) Where is shipping area?
. ex) From Canada to USA? or From Korea to USA
Shipping
Shipping will be from South Korea with EMS. Shipping cost will depend on your location. Each set weighs about (TBD) kg with packaging. Click here to check your zone (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=53348.msg1191127#msg1191127) and Click here to check their prices in Korean Won (http://www.koreapost.go.kr/eng/sub/subpage.jsp?contId=e1020300)
Hold on now.. Does Octagon V2 have ISO support?I messaged Elton about this, he said he would look into it but he believed it was only ANSI:/
Interesting. Oh well, if it would support international ISO that would just be a bonus. I was already dead set on it being my first ANSI board.Hold on now.. Does Octagon V2 have ISO support?
The plate and PCB in the diagram can take an ISO Enter; however the PCB doesn't look like it will take a split Left Shift. The plate does, however, so it might just be US ISO layout, or the diagram may be wrong.
is the spot still available?
So I'm a little confused, I unfortunately didn't make it in the first 30. What does that mean?
Does that mean i completely lost my chance?
If not, does it mean I'm in for round 2 (I'm 35), and if so are we still paying the same time as everyone?
Or, does it mean I'm gonna have to keep my eyes peeled and do a mad rush when r2 happens?
Limit of 30 sets for first round. If over, will take more time for the later orders.

In! I still haven't built my Lightsaver v2, or my Octogon v1. I might need to sell these :)
But what if you just end up not building your Octagon v2? :P
I have considered selling my v1, but I love the little "Octagon" nameplate too much. It'll be nice to compare the feels between the case-mounted PCB of the v1 versus the top bezel-mounted PCB of the v2 as well.
The v1 is just a solid hunk of aluminum, which is awesome in itself. There is as much charm over its simplicity as there is over the v2's complexity.
The fact the Octagon v1 was the first RGB duck board, too, is something I find awesome.

- are the bottom LEDs of this board RGB, or do we need to order those?

I generally agree with what Steezus here. The only problem with 2x3x4mm LEDs is that they can impede the travel of thick low profile caps (ala Cherry profile), so you have to keep that in mind.
Some people actually put these inside the switch housings for a more diffused look--that would also get past the travel issues they might causes. Otherwise you could use 1.8mm LEDs or do what LastPilot did for his LZ and sand down the tops of the LEDs a bit to allow clearance.
Just want to clarify - I was the 14th to submit the form, am I allowed to change the options?
If you have any changes, just PM me.
I was told 2 months estimated time of shipping, but that was what I was told for Orion, so just FYI.
I'll post a public sheet soon for everyone to see their orders.

But what if you just end up not building your Octagon v2? :P
I have considered selling my v1, but I love the little "Octagon" nameplate too much. It'll be nice to compare the feels between the case-mounted PCB of the v1 versus the top bezel-mounted PCB of the v2 as well.
The v1 is just a solid hunk of aluminum, which is awesome in itself. There is as much charm over its simplicity as there is over the v2's complexity.
The fact the Octagon v1 was the first RGB duck board, too, is something I find awesome.
Is there any possibility that late comers(?) will have a shot on this now? I made a order but not sure what place I came in. The doc haven't been updated yet. Somewhere around 75 I guess.
Or is it going to be like the first version 30+30?

Ah that's what's missing! I knew the pictures looked somehow "wrong" but couldn't put my finger on what it was missing. The badge!

I will be so upset if my order at #67 won't be able to be fulfilled. :(
Especially since I had gotten here early, but couldn't make up my mind at first. I guess we'll have to wait and see.

There was 60 made of the Orion v2 for geekhack. Not sure whether that was all the interest or if 60 was the cut off point, best of luck. :thumb:

I'm happy as a cucumber, I think. I mean, I think that's what people say.
Aww yeah! I'm gonna have the silver and grey aluminum Octagon v2 as the main setup and I'm going to use the Duck feet for the carbon fiber case I plan on buying for my second Alps Eagle.
Half tempted to add the acrylic flat bottom, but I think I will be happy with just one. :D
Having an aluminum bottom as my main option,also with a duck feet.So should i get a Acrylic bottom or flat acrylic bottom with chrome feet as the extra bottom? and what is the difference between chrome feet and duck feet ? or they are one? Thanks :D

The Duck feet are intended for use with the flat acrylic bottom as a more elegant option as opposed to the normal conical feet. That's all, really. They aren't meant to go on the other bottom housings.
Adding feet to that would increase the typing angle an insane amount.Having an aluminum bottom as my main option,also with a duck feet.So should i get a Acrylic bottom or flat acrylic bottom with chrome feet as the extra bottom? and what is the difference between chrome feet and duck feet ? or they are one?

20 degree angle :eek:
Weird question, but does anyone know if the Orion V2 bottom would fit on the Octagon V2?
Hopefully this will arrive before I have to move :D :D
Hopefully this will arrive before I have to move :D :D
When might that be? This GB will most likely take several months.

As long as it happens before August I'll be fine
Can anyone explain the difference in feel between the 2 plates? I currently have the aluminum as I assume a softer metal will sound less pingy.
Jokes aside, a steel plate will be heavier, more rigid, and louder (in that vibrations travel much more easily through steel). Aluminum is lighter, softer, flexier, but dampens vibrations better. Steel plates are notorious for "pinging", where you hear the "sproing" of the spring after an upstroke. I've never had that issue with an alu or plastic plate.
I picked aluminium as I find the stainless steel ones easier to scratch. The aluminium ones have a sandblasted finish while the steel ones have a brushed finish. I hope this helps!
i'll let those with personal knowledge of differences weigh in, as I can only comment based on what i've read --
but apparently:
tactile switches --> aluminum plate
linear switches --> steel plate
the reason I see the most pop up is that the rigidity of metals play a role in how it feels (e.g., how much flex you get if you bottom out) and there was some mention of how sounds resonate
:'( no clue though, it may be so minor that one may hardly notice
someone guide us! :-\
KetckhyKech you basically got the right idea. However I can guarantee you that the board itself will already weight a ton so opting for a steel plate just for the added weight isn't really a good idea.
A steel plate has the least amount of flex to it, which is what you want for linear switches to have a fluid motion of each key press without any additional "feedback".
An aluminum plate gives a slight bit of flex to it, which is good for tactile switches to help make the tactility more pronounced. Aluminum tends to give the best sound in terms of tactile switches.
An acrylic plate gives a fair bit of flex, it is best in terms of tactility and also my favorite. I have an acrylic plate with 65g Purple Zealios for my Orion v2 and the typing experience is heavenly. The sound is very muted though with the acrylic plate but another benefit is the even distribution of backlight.
Just ordered.
Hope it's still available...
Just ordered.There is a chance that there could be a third batch but I'm assuming it would have to be another 40 orders for that to happen.
Hope it's still available...
I reckon not every one ordered will pay their invoice so some people who are back in the list could get into the first batch I'd think
So glad that I'm in. But my wallet isn't. This + the last round of Granite on Massdrop is gonna be expensive.
anyone have any opinions on which case color would look best with the hyperfuse set? Blue-Grey or silver?

Blue grey is pretty neutral, but the blue grey is awesome, I have it in the Orion :)

The way that stabs are set up in the board with the grey plate (above), the stab cutouts are above the switch (as you can see on the enter key) so I wouldn't be surprised if you can't see them because of the switches.No, you just put the switch in the middle there with some stabs on the sides.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/7jxPj4w.jpg)

Yeah that's what I said but I'm not sure a third batch would happen unless their was a full 40 more orders, depending on how overloaded Duck is or not. Have to remember this isn't the only site that he is doing the GB for as well.
Kinda annoyed that it was 30 but then raised to 80 because of whatever reason. Really wanted it due to the exclusivity and meaning of it but felt that it's going to lose some of that because of the amount. Obviously there's no pulling back to 30 but still going to go ahead with it.Why wouldn't you just be happy that more people will get to enjoy the board now?

In my opinion it should never be about exclusivity, sure it feels more special when less are made but 80 is still an insanely low number. It's such a fantastic board and I feel more people should get the opportunity to own a Duck.
True that more people get the experience but I get hard-ons from knowing I have 1 of x. Makes everything a lot more special for me.You know you have one of 80, or whatever the number ends up being. What's your point?

My point is that not everyone can get one anyway... Even if the numbers were in the thousands, there are plenty of people that would still want one.

I agree with your point, I just personally wouldn't of made the decision to increase the drop amount. I like the idea of more people experiencing it though, thanks guys.

Wasn't there always going to be more than 30? The first batch would have been 30.
I snagged the blue grey from version one, and it is a stunning colour. Still waiting on Hyperfuse so it hasn't been used yet, but soon. Haha.
Hoping for a Duck or Viper version two in the near future. Such beautiful cases that come with all of them.

The reason why customs aren't mass produced is the creator is generally not comfortable with dealing with that many, you tend to lose on quality.
Well I'm interested in Orion v3 as well, so no worries. ;D ;D ;DI snagged the blue grey from version one, and it is a stunning colour. Still waiting on Hyperfuse so it hasn't been used yet, but soon. Haha.

It'll be a couple years before a Duck Viper/Eagle v2, Duck already has other plans for LSv3 and then Orion v3 after this.

This is ridiculous. So for people like me who knew about this board way ahead of time (as an Octagon lover, that should be obvious) but had a busy day and couldn't make up a decision in time for the first batch (that ended up with me being at position #67), we should just get screwed over? No, sorry, but that is stupid. Nothing against you, but this kind of thinking is really some of the most terrible in the community. So many people get wrapped up in exclusivity. It should never be about that. Having something just to say you have something rare or coveted is stupid and selfish.
Look at me, I'm a special snow flake. Look at these rare boards and artisans I pissed my money away into. No. Lol. Just no.
That said, enjoy your damn Octagon v2 for what it is! An AWESOME board. Like Steez said, 80 is still very low compared to anything OEM. It might be higher than the paltry 27 orders (35 boards) of the first Octagon GB, but it's still limited!
I think the hype from the second Orion and draw from the reddit community as well as more awareness in general has contributed to the huge influx for this GB.
Like, another one that shocked me was how many people ordered a Mira. I didn't think that'd even even hit the numbered maximum, but it surpassed it!

The only reason I can see people wanting exclusive stuff is so that they can mark up the price and re-sell.
Defeats the purpose in my opinion.
Let people, who are willing to pay for it, get one.
Keyboards dont need to start following the artisan scene.

What he meant was that while you can use PCB mount switches, you cannot use the board without the plate as the PCB is attached to the plate only, like the Orion and most Kustoms.Anyone know if....

Not so sure what? All of Duck's PCBs support PCB mounted switches, most PCBs in general do nowadays. A plate is just to add rigidity, you can use a plate and PCB mounted switches.
What he meant was that while you can use PCB mount switches, you cannot use the board without the plate as the PCB is attached to the plate only, like the Orion and most Kustoms.Anyone know if....
1. PCB supports PCB mount switches?
2. Plate supports switch top removal?
1. Yes
2. No

The bump down is from one person going from one board to two boards. That shouldn't be allowed. My first order was prior to their second order, their second order should be at the bottom unless multiple boards does not affect the order number. Then the order numbers should be adjusted accordingly.
Hi guys, still a korean keyboard virgin here, would I be able to program or script the front LEDs that's under the keycaps? Or is that already pre-programmed?
If you're talking about in-switch LEDs then you'll be able to program the brightness and how they turn on whether it's constant, flashing, flash on keypress, etc.

Ah yes, you're right, I was referring to in switch LEDs. How would I go about doing that? Is there a windows app or something?
So its closed now? Thought the deadline was 1st of february :eek: Wanted to get in on this!
Yeah , that's will make this Octagon v2 not rare haha, too much Octagon V2 on geekhack. Also there will be some from the Korean groupbuy :mad:So its closed now? Thought the deadline was 1st of february :eek: Wanted to get in on this!
There was a lot more orders than expected.

Who gives a **** whether it's rare or not. There's still going to be ~80 boards on geekhack, that's plenty rare compared to any other retail board and other customs such as winkeyless and gon. I personally think it's kind of pretty damn selfish if you want less people to enjoy a board as good as this.

LightSaver v3 for every1 plz :-*
I don't selfish about it . I mean that if that not have a large quantities , people will feel lucky when have it and more care about it ( maybe feel respectful) .

I'm not angry at you at all, I completely understand about concerns for quality but that's why I feel that Duck will only take on as much as he is comfortable with. I personally would love if everybody got away from all that retail nonsense and had a board like this to type on, it truly is wonderful. My Jane is 1 of 20, Jane CE 1 of 25, Lightsaver v2 1 of 30(in GH), and Orion v2 1 of 60(in GH) but I don't see them being any more special that less of them have been made.

So when are you giving away all your boards except one, Steezus?
You seem irritated at the idea anyone would "collect" keyboards because it would mean some poor soul out there isn't able to "enjoy" the experience. I mean, you can't honestly say you type on all of those boards at once, right? And if they're all high quality, why do you need so many? Wouldn't it be more in-line with your philosophy to give them away (or sell them at your cost) so that less fortunate people could enjoy those items?
This is the second time in this single runaway thread I've seen someone attacked and ostracized because they expressed dissatisfaction that it will not be as limited run as those that preceded it and its disgusting because it's coming from collectors of artisan keycaps and limited run keyboards... You can have an opinion but don't proudly flaunt hypocrisy in the process.
Who cares whether it's rare or not, you ask? I do. Other people here do. You do, apparently.
Am I selfish because I care about rarity? Well, I own a single 60% (Duck Poker), a TKL I made myself (custom aluminum case), and wanted to add a 75% to the collection to round out the only boards I am interested in or would even use... If that makes me selfish, what does a guy with 4 limited run keyboards (and more on the way, proudly displayed in the signature) qualify as?
I'd make a crack about wearing out those keyboards posting crap that doesn't matter in these forums, but its none of my business how you spend your money, use your possessions, or the rationale that influenced those decisions. Just like it isn't any of yours to anyone else.

Ah, so orders are closed now, crazy now quick those orders came in right?
Apologies in advance if I'm asking dumb questions?
Few questions:
- are the batches in 30's or 40's, I thought I saw elton say 40 + 40 +,..? But the final number is 91?
- why did my number go from 31 to 32? Thought I might be in the first batch, but if it's 30 I definitely won't (30 + 1 for elton)
- are invoices still on the 1st Feb, or is that gonna BA sooner now the ordering is closed?
Thanks in advance :)

Batches are in 40, I believe people jumped up a number is because somebody added a board to their order. Deadline for invoices is February 7th.

Geez it feels like every other day someone is trying to start drama (cough jshane cough). I for one appreciate Steezus contributing to this thread and answering pretty much everyone's questions.

Silver and Blue Grey to go with GMK SNES
MoreExclusivity is a factor when considering the overall worth an item has to someone, theres no denying that -- as that notion is applicable to almost any platform, input devices included. It can enhance a user's experience through the satisfaction they derive from that exclusivity -- I think the majority of keyboard enthusiasts value exclusivity, albeit not uniformly.
The issue most likely, in my view, is that when users express their dismay that perhaps their desire for exclusivity won't be satiated
---it comes off as incredibly selfish in a thread presumably full of users wishing to have joined in time. It's pretty easy for one to garner distaste among his peers by gloating and simultaneously wishing for their exclusion.
nothing wrong with valuing rarity... its just sensitivity goes a long way :thumb:
That being said, i personally don't think anyone has crossed into the realm of being deemed an "insensitive jerk" :p
edit: Ohhh boy, wont add fuel to da fire :P added spoilers to my take on exclusivity

Word! Yep, I'm definitely stoked to be in this GB, though I'm really unsure what will become of my v1. The differences between the two, especially in plate-mounting styles will certainly make me more inclined to keep the original, as well as the little "OCTAGON" nameplate that juts out an actually creates an irregular octagon out of the otherwise rectangular shape of the board, haha. The stickers were actually pretty unique, if not novel.
This one isn't going to be too much different than the first, just in Silver and Blue Grey to go with GMK SNES (so hoping the next launch of that set goes through), with clicky clear switches (vintage MX whites) in Zealio housings. Steez has probably seen me babble about my plans for this board tons of times.
I'll probably use a straight cable for it, maybe just a plain black USB cable to allude to the cables of the SNES controllers.
I did want to get a red version with a flat bottom and either wait for a 75% Alps PCB to come around (or commission one from Clueboard whenever Skully's services are open), or take a drill to the Octagon PCB and "alpsify" it, lol.
Yes, cringe in horror! Haha. But yeah, I wanted an Alps 75%. Red with a flat acrylic bottom and Duck feet would've been my choice there.
I can't afford that either way, Alps plans or not. I'm already having a Lightpad Alps plate designed so I can transition my Lightpad to the Alps side for some blue Alps number crunching goodness. That'll probably be expensive since I plan to get the plate made out of CF.
I'm honestly surprised at how many orders this GB has gotten. Has the community really grown that much in a year? I STILL haven't made my first anniversary here yet. That'd be in March! So much has happened since then!

Ha. I missed this GB completely. I think I'd prefer Orion anyway, though I do have a nostalgia for the layout of the Noppoo Choc Mini I had so very long ago.
I'll have to be more vigilant in the coming months.

Leeku should be doing a 75% group buy soon.
Okay so I have a question. Clearly this board comes with a plate, but I see that it says to use PCB mount stabilizers? Does that mean you need to use PCB mount switches too? I ordered 100 plate mount zealios... hope I didn't order the wrong thing...
some people may need a source for pcb-mount stabs, though. i have a couple sets, so i am set. but for my personal edification as well, can someone tell us where to find them?

You can use PCB mounted switches but you don't have to. The PCB mounted switches just make them a little sturdier because they have two extra legs that clip into the PCB.

Originative only has 6.25u atm.

Zeal only offers 6.25u per his website as well.

Alternatively you can source from winkeyless.kr but I heard shipping can be quite expensive. They offer both 6.25u and 7u :thumb:

Thanks for this info. From looking at the layout, this board uses a 6.25 unit spacebar, no? I plan on putting Granite on it so that's what I will be using. I didn't really understand the difference between PCB and plate mount switches and I ordered a **** ton of the plate mount Zealios... How much stability do PCB mount switches / stabs add? Is it worth cancelling my order and getting some PCB mount ones instead? Can I even use the plate mount stabilizers? Really I just want to keep everything consistent. This is my first custom, sorry if these are stupid questions.
some people may need a source for pcb-mount stabs, though. i have a couple sets, so i am set. but for my personal edification as well, can someone tell us where to find them?Originative sells gold plated ones, and zeal sells both pcb and plate mounted, non gold plated stabs :)
The ones Originative sells are SPRiT's, by the way.some people may need a source for pcb-mount stabs, though. i have a couple sets, so i am set. but for my personal edification as well, can someone tell us where to find them?Originative sells gold plated ones, and zeal sells both pcb and plate mounted, non gold plated stabs :)

Okay so I have a question. Clearly this board comes with a plate, but I see that it says to use PCB mount stabilizers? Does that mean you need to use PCB mount switches too? I ordered 100 plate mount zealios... hope I didn't order the wrong thing...
You can use PCB mounted switches but you don't have to. The PCB mounted switches just make them a little sturdier because they have two extra legs that clip into the PCB.
does anyone want my place?

At this stage, can't people just drop out and everyone else move up?
just so you guys know the orders have been changed to 30 + 30 because duck is unable to produce the requested volume of boards

just so you guys know the orders have been changed to 30 + 30 because duck is unable to produce the requested volume of boards
Nooo I'm #73. Is this absolutely the case that orders beyond #60 won't be fulfilled? I ordered switches and stabs for this and would like to try and get in on something else asap if that's the case. Should I email duck about it?
The Duck Feet's are going to be available only in anodized silver.
Orders will be fulfilled by 40+40+...

These seem to conflict. Can we get an official statement on this from duck?

elton's statement was over a week ago. Duck probably changed his mind since.
But yeah; I guess we'll have to wait 'til we hear from elton regarding the western GB.
Elton told me 30+30 a few days ago
Elton told me 30+30 a few days ago
Thanks Sifo. I trust you but I still emailed him for a confirmation because if I can't get in on this, I want to build an ErgoDox. I'll need to change my Granite order within the next 5 days if that's going to happen, and I want to be 100% sure that I won't be able to get one of these first.
To clarify, if it is indeed 30+30, those after 60 are out of the GB?
well that's too bad. Guess its good news since I don't have to drop 600 bucks for this and the f77. Going to 100% now on the new model f's.
Damn, I signed up for the Octagon group buy. I saw that it would be here soon, but didn't check for it. Sucks that I missed out :( Really didn't expect such low batch.

This is the highest batch of boards that Duck has ever done along with the Orion v2.
Place 40 over here! :)
Super stoked that it looks like I actually made it in after missing out on Lightsaver V2.
Also btw:
Still trying to decide if I should switch to an aluminum plate since it seems to be the most common choice.
Since there seems to be more then enough room in the case, has anyone tried using tiny o-rings in between the plate and the case? Shouldn't that in theory dampen the harder plate a little and solve any possibility of pinging issues?
How many of these are actually getting made? Jeez 90+ on the order sheet? Duck is doing real well ;)

Brag much, lol? JK though, congrats
I don't know what you mean by putting o-rings between the plate and case since there will be a PCB there. However if you mean around the sides that wouldn't dampen a plate at all because the material of the plate itself is what gives the hardness of it.

Thx for the quick reply Steezus, but it doesn't really answer my question. :)
Sorry if I didn't fully explain what I mean.
To elaborate:
Since this is a two part case design, the plate is directly attached to the top half of the case by screws,
(unlike poker style cases where the pcb is attached to the case directly)
so the plate is in fact in direct contact with the case with no pcb inbetween.
(the pcb is more or less free floating and only attached to the plate itself wich again screws to the case)
I was wondering if putting o-rings on the screws that attach the plate to the case (in between where the plate normally makes contact with the case) would give the plate a more dampened feel, incase anyone has ever tried to do something similar to this?
Sorry if I made that explanation slightly complicated, but I hope the question becomes more clear now.
Edit:
If you take a closer look on the plate you will see the eight attachment points used to screw the plate to the top half of the case.
I meant using o-rings on these attachments points between plate and case.
Yeah I know how Duck's boards work, I have an Orion v2 myself. I was just confused on the question.
The plate material is what matters on the amount of flex for certain types of switches. Putting o-rings on all the screws, if possible, would just have the entire plate be a little squishy around the edges and be able to push it down but still does not give it "flex". It may dampen is around the edges but to not each individual switch.

Sorry Steezus didn't realize until now my idea is probably what you referred to by around the sides.
Really appreciate your feedback especially if you have experience with Duck's board and didn't mean to sound rude or anything, I was just trying to further explain my idea and keep in mind Im not a native speaker.
So thx a lot again! :)
I might actually give the o-rings a try since I have a bunch of different sizes flying around, but Im still wondering wether to go aluminum or stick with stainless?
Do you have an aluminum Plate on your Orion? What would you recommend to go with?
Im probably just going to pick whatever your suggestion would be...
I do realize stainless would be heavier and aluminum softer, but never really had a direct comparison to go by.
Went with the angled acrylic bottom btw! =D
Elton told me 30+30 a few days ago
It's all good, you didn't rude or anything. :thumb:
The plates really depend on which switches you'd like to use. If you're going the linear route then stainless steel is definitely the better option imo.
I personally am using an acrylic plate in my Orion with 65g Tactile Zealios, the tactility is phenomenal but the sound is rather mute.
The aluminum is a good mix of in between where you have more rigidity, better sound, but still some flex for tactile switches and still good for linears.
Honestly I couldn't really tell you which plate to decide on unless I know which switches you're thinking about using.
Elton told me 30+30 a few days ago
Very sad news. This was my dream board and it looks like I'll be missing out. :(
Don't know whether to get a LZ-RV or this - I'd feel cruel not getting this due to how many people missed out though.

hmmm... So I currently have the Blue Grey on order... I am now wondering if I want to change that to black?
I have an orion in blue grey, wondering if I need some variation!?

I had the same opinion for heavy 60% boards, but those heavy aluminum cases are so nice to use!hmmm... So I currently have the Blue Grey on order... I am now wondering if I want to change that to black?

Variety is the spice of life, as they say.
I was thinking of getting one of these in red like my v1 and Hammer, but I decided against it. It's boring having boards that all look the same. Go for something different!
And for that matter, when I was considering what cases to use on my two Duck Eagles PCBs, I was originally planning on buying two carbon fiber cases from HPS' project, but then the opportunity to buy a red Hammer case fell into my lap, and after consideration I went for it.
Before that, my mindset towards 60% was that they should always be super light and portable, but I stand corrected now. Heft is nice in any layout, and it doesn't even weigh enough to be unwieldy either.
In other words, two of the same is boring. I'm glad I changed it up!

This is a very good point! I am slowly replacing all my non-custom boards with custom, and all my non-custom are black... so it's kind of got that stigma to it...
was even thinking of putting orange LED's on it... with vintage MX blacks... I have a Star Cluster BBv2 which will .... WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME?!?

Rainb1ood does have a great example of a stealth Octagon, and he also recently transferred the caps from that build to his Orion v2 that I helped put together for him.
Here's the Octagon. Some might find it boring, but I find it pretty sick.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/q9R869X.jpg)
Black has a certain subtlety to it. I like my black Lightpad a lot, but it is true, many OEM keyboards are black these days.
And since you have a black Orion, I think that's enough love for black! Go blue grey unless you really have an idea that would work best with black as opposed to any other color.

My Orion is Blue Grey, My Lightsaver is Gun metal grey I think, but not the blue grey...
So this would be the first black custom...

Arguably if I modified my order to two boards, would I knock number 60 off the list? That wouldn't be right? Additional boards should be treated as adding orders regardless of who they're going to. If I wanted to modify my order and add another board, then that order should be at the back of the list?

I would agree under the circumstances of a normal sale where there is no order limit. This is not such a sale. Orders were limited, and each order was logged in the order in which it was received. So if I added an additional board now, I would most definitely expect to have it added at the end of the list, and not with my current order to the detriment of everyone behind me.
It's not a huge deal, but I would be a lot more frustrated if I was number 60 bumped to 61 because one board was not enough for someone.

ok, so i'm busted. come clean time...
my original order was basically two full keyboards (minus a second top plate). I later added a second top-plate, and Elton created a second order - two complete keyboards. I pm'd him when people started freaking out about orders getting bumped and told him that the second top plate could be moved to later order - that would be fair to everyone. Then, more orders were opened up. Then, those people were told that maybe their orders won't go through. I am still willing to let my second top plate get put at the end of the line, as long as it is still in line.
At this point, though, where's the end? I definitely put in my second plate order before the first 60, so that means someone is getting bumped...
sorry i didn't mean to create all this hassle. i didnt think elton would bump everyone back in order to meet my request.
<edited for clarity>
I have an unrelated open question: does anyone know if other 75% plates are compatible with the Octagon? I don't forsee it being an issue, but I'm thinking of grabbing a Red Scarf plate or something if I can manage it, so that it supports opening the switches without desoldering.

All of you asking for the link should go look for information yourself. It's not as if I'm part of some secret club. Use the search function. All the info you need is on the forum.
There is no current GB or IC. There's no link. It's just an upcoming thing. Keep your pants on, guys. :thumb:

I would like to mention that the first GB was a secret/private one. There is no guarantee that it will open up to international orders either. The only reason why I'm interested is that I have a friend that can proxy for me. Don't give up hope, there still may be a chance.

I personally think they're pointless and defeats the whole purpose of the cutout in the aluminum bottom. The cutout is meant to give a spot for you to easily pick up the board to move around, filling it up with an acrylic piece no longer allows that.
I honestly don't enjoy the design of the aluminium bottom without the acrylic windows.. really makes the board perfect, to me at least.

They never were included, no. The Viper/Eagle GB is the only group buy that has had a concurrent GB for the inserts, AFAIK. I'm less aware of the Lightsaver V1/V2 or Orion v1 era though.
The Octagon v1 wiggled in and some people got their inserts. I've got two sets for my Octagon, one frosted, one clear.
I've also indeed made my own by hand with a dremel and some tinted polycarbonate for my Lightpad.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/MnrvWHk.jpg)Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/j40PvGu.jpg)

That said, Elton has shared the files for the acrylic inserts so you can easily go get them CNC'd somewhere.
The inserts for the lightpad turned out pretty sexy.
woah man those look really good for a dremel! You make a rig or something?

It wasn't bad; it was around $125 before shipping. I paid $180 shipped for mine aftermarket.
****, if red is finally offered for a Lightpad, I might be too tempted. Silver would go well with the v2, but I love red and it'd go well with my Hammer and Octagon v1.
If it's just gonna be black and silver again, then silver is a no-brainer since I have a black v1.

No, they're talking about the Duck Lightpad. The Lightpad v2 is suppose to come next after the Octagon v2 group buy, according to Sifo which was proven right after the last statement.

No I did not, I was invoiced before and there was a little bit of a confusion so that I had to be invoiced a second time.
But you don't think that I'd be in the second run now?

I doubt that'd happen, seeming you are in the first run. Invoicing order is a stupid way to figure out what run you're in.
Sorry, this has probably been asked, but estimated shopping time is a few months, isnt it? I am mainly excited because once these puppies are out i think its time for.... LightSaver 3.0!!!!!

In the Duck Eagle/Viper GB thread Elton said he "heard viper and eagle might show up again after Octagon V2" (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=61227.msg2045207#msg2045207).
the hype is real--
what are everyone's respective plans for their Octagonv2s? Do you have a keyset in mind to go with your case color combo? Which switches does everyone have on deck for the build? ~ What bottom row are people leaning towards?
I have a steel plate w/ mine so I def want to go linear switches, maybe linear zealios (which never seems to get love, but in general ppl around here despise linear) or some vintage blacks, but good ones seem hard to come by. I'm in to RGB lighting on the keycaps but i already went acrylic angled bottom, so not sure how much of a light show I'd want
As for sets I'm not too sure, I went with blue grey top/angled acrylic bottom, so I'm thinking GMK Cyan (if i can stalk mechmarket for a set if im lucky) or perhaps waiting on nubb's GMK Skeletor, which looks amaze (and im not even a huge fan of purple and I like it)
And my bottom row will either surely be the winkeyless (them mods just look so good in winkeyless) or the winkey/winkyless mix, which i've rarely seen before :thumb:
edit: lets not forget Nanucket Selectric in all its glory :-*
the hype is real--Already have some 67g Zealios and a USB cable. Just waiting for Penumbra R2. Will probably do a 1.25+1.25+1.25+6.25+1.5+1.5 for the bottom row.

Since my Octagon v1 had linear switches in it, I decided to go for clicky switches this time with an aluminum plate (first time ever using an aluminum plate, so I'm excited for that).
I wanted something a little different so I went for vintage MX whites (which have translucent stems and no nub to identify it as clicky) with the intent to do the unorthodox, swap them in Zealio housings so they give of the misleading appearance of either linear Zealios or MX clears stems swapped into Zealios. I found a nice amount of them! I also wanted this for the sake of seeing the RGB glow up from under them; the idea of a totally translucent clicky switch just really got me hooked on the idea, even though I typically hate MX clicky (and love Alps clicky).
Here's a typing test (https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bz7wy2NQWCerZ1M0RHgzWGRiSkk/view?usp=sharing) going from Blue Alps > Vintage Whites in Zealio housings > Stock Vintage Whites > Modern MX Green
I personally think that the vintage whites in Zealios sound very similar to blue Alps for what it's worth, at least as close as you can get with MX switches, except for maybe that strange pro world clone switch that had an MX stem and reminiscent housing but also had an alps-like click leaf wedged in there, haha. MX Greens are ew. Vintage whites in stock housings are a little underwhelming. What do you think?
This idea was one of the strongest motivators for me in buying an Octagon v2, since I'm kind of removed from Cherry MX these days.
-
Another big one was GMK SNES, which I think will look sick with my silver and blue grey dual tone scheme, like the light and dark grey plastic of an SNES. I really hope that set meets MQO next time it is run.
If not, then I'll either get EnjoyPBT, some black cherry POM blanks, or just sell the damn thing and the vintage whites haha.If GMK SNES does hit MQO, I can see myself hunting for certain GMK mods till the end of time.
I also plan on hotswap modding it, which is much easier than the craziness I had to do to create a hotswappable Alps Eagle, lol. Cherry is no where near as complicated to modify for holtite sockets (this is going to prompt many questions, I can just see it).
I also went with the flat acrylic bottom at the recommendation of, I think it was Steezus? Yeah, just to really soak up that rainbow glory, even though I think I'll prefer a full aluminum board.
Got some ducky duck feet that I might use for the flat bottom or put on the case I get for my second Alps Eagle, which is planned to be a carbon fiber case which might be rather flat in profile, so the feet would work well there and have more DUCK rep for the build.

I might have to raise funds (some additional fees came up for the golbat that weren't known before...) so I might sell my order...
So I think I gave the unpaid orders enough time to pay..I'm going to cancel their orders and let the 3 next in line if they are still interested..that means i'm actually the 60th omg yusssss

Good to hear about not giving the stragglers anymore time to dawdle on payments.
Let's get the ball rolling on this GB!
The sooner I receive my Octagon, the better.that means i'm actually the 60th omg yusssss
I know that feeling haha.
Would like to join. Is it possible? Can I get an Iso layout?
how long is the waitlist?

This long (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19enJgC0uMUPcQd_qNDn1UH7A2x2IJJie3UGb4l3U7MU/pubhtml?gid=1358261006&single=true), as of January 12th.
Nobody wanted the order
Oh well, guess I'll tough it out!
how long is the waitlist?
elton, can i get in for the wait list, please?
You can have my spot. It's above 60 though so it may take a while
I wouldn't hold my breath on the possibility of Duck handling more orders after he's done the first 60, but hopefully so for all those that are missing out here.

Holy ****, Naas, I think you've pretty much nailed it. Considering the fact Elton said the next Lightpad was going to be very modular and customizable, to the fact he said the Eagle/Viper v2 might be coming up soon.
These all seem like pieces to the Trinity puzzle.
And god damn will they be expensive, I bet. If it allows Alps then I'm done.

I'm sure they can. I placed an order for Sky as well and they didn't provide free shipping even though it was $100+. I emailed them through the website and they issued the refund for shipping immediately. :thumb:
Any news on the third possible batch?....
Welp, I've decided to sell off my order. If anyone wants Order #12 on the order form (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19enJgC0uMUPcQd_qNDn1UH7A2x2IJJie3UGb4l3U7MU/pubhtml?gid=1358261006&single=true), please let me know.

Haha, well. The Orion v2 purchase and $400+ on top of that for supplies for the Alps build (gold plated holtites for you know what again, + a mint AT101 + stuff for dyeing key caps and then some), a flat acrylic bottom, etc really put a dent in my funds.
When I saw Yutksi's LZ-FE, I was thinking if I had made a mistake with my Orion v2 purchase, since I've paid that much and more already, haha. The FE can take an Alps plate too, so I was rather downtrodden over that.
I guess I'm not 100% sure yet, to be honest. I feel like I don't really need more MX boards as it is.

Yeah, it's what I had always hoped for to be honest. I've always seen it as a spiritual successor to the Kingsaver so I'm very happy to have found one! I appreciate the pep up. :)

TBH I kind of regret selling my Orion v2. I don't know if it's because I sold a fully functioning board for a kit that still hasn't been built yet or what. Not a single one of my parts for my 360c has arrived yet, kind of already over the board. :))
Hey man I can understand, it does eat a lot at your funds and it makes you get buyers remorse. But the Orion is something that you should look forward to. Pace yourself with the parts of it really is taking a toll on your wallet :P

Hey guys,
My order is up for grabs again as previous arrangements did not go through.
I'm order #12, so I'm in the first round. Feel free to PM me if you want to buy my spot.
Silver Aluminum Top, Blue Grey Aluminum Bottom, Aluminum Plate, Flat Angled Bottom, Duck Feet.
Plans were to put this together with GMK SNES (silver to match the lighter grey of the set/system and blue grey to coordinate with the darker grey). It was a fun idea, but I really do not need this anymore.

Haha, sorry to disappoint! I do have an Orion v2 now as well, so I'm pretty much not missing out on anything, haha. This successor to my v1 is pretty much a baby Orion v2, hehe.
Yeah, the build concept was really something I was excited about, but I don't think I can reasonably hang onto the order right now.

Well, that was quick!
Okay, so it is official.
I have transferred my order to WNovizar (https://geekhack.org/index.php?action=profile;u=54288) and the invoice has been paid, so please consider this an indicator of that transaction.
I know that Elton is AWOL atm, but if WNovizar needs to verify, this will be here, and I will also personally verify the transfer as well.

I would have switched them out every now and then, but someone might want to buy the bottom off of you. A lot of people regretted not buying the flat bottom for the Orion v2.
I'm not sure what tops would be compatible, to be honest. Since it's a flat bottom, any 75% should be compatible since you don't have to worry about USB placement. I'd get a top 3D printed or CNC'd if I were you; if you really want to create another board altogether.

Are you saying that the bottom housing is compatible with Duck Orion?
Wish this was still open. Came in a bit late!
If you guys haven't already PMed Elton about the order transfer, I suggest you do so. It's much easier for him to track changes through PMs than by watching his threads.

Thanks for the info. I've got ~100 65g R1 Zealios that I could use for that. I'll probably not use them anyway. Although it is a wee bit of a shame to use them for that purpose. Initially I was on planning to sell them cheaply.

Timing could not be better. Received 65g Zealios a couple of days ago. :-)
Now I just need to decide if this will be my first ANSI board or if I should just stick to ISO SE layout.

Does the pcb support the 1.25u left shift? The pcb drawing in the OP doesnt show the holes for the switch, although the plate looks to support both options.

They won't care as long as it's under 23€, but if you have to pick up the package from the custom's office you'll have to show them proof of payment so it won't matter what value was used in the declaration.

Filled it out! Just want to make sure I did everything correctly though. Did we need the $45 feet if we got the aluminum bottom? And what difference does the aluminum or steel plate make? I chose aluminum.

Negative. If you got the bottom aluminum casing you are golden. Duck feet would be optional if you got the acrylic flat bottom.

Thanks for the fast reply! And just to give me peace of mind, we were supposed to fill out the order form on the first page of this thread even though it is still labeled the same?
What size LEDs fit in the 7 spots along the top?
Thanks!

I use 1.8mm with sip socket.
does anyone know how to view my current order and how to edit the order?
You guys are getting them so quick..mine is still in a limbo with no tracking updates. :(
Anyway, I'll open up the order form for the rest of the 3rd batch orders on Friday April 22 at 6PM EST.
The package has arrived. Thanks elton, but I thought this GB included some LEDs for free right? I have not get them. Anyway, Where can I get CAD file for brass weight?

Hi guys where do I buy the stabilizers for this ? Zeal sold out so I was wondering where else stock them

You could, but first I need to find the cad files for it.
Looks fairly simple to make a CAD file for. Just a rectangle extruded with some filets :D

I sucks at it tho. Again I am not good at it, so I just want to get the CAD files, and take it to the local workshop. They might be able to countersunk the screws
Wish I had an octagon, I could do it for you :)
It looks from the pictures on duck's site where he talks about the feet that it is possible to have two feet one on the left and one on the right and two in the top area of the acrylic flat bottom.
Does the acrylic flat bottom plate have room for 2 sets of duck feet (total of 4)?
4 duck feet... OK... But why?It looks from the pictures on duck's site where he talks about the feet that it is possible to have two feet one on the left and one on the right and two in the top area of the acrylic flat bottom.

No. You would need to drill new holes for the other two duck feet.
How many spots is round 3?
When are the invoices for Batch 3 coming?
Does the Octagon still not support opening the switch tops without desoldering?
I filled form soon and last time I checked my No. is 74 ... Now I'm 98. What happen with my order?
Actually, I want to take payment as soon as possible, so I will start invoicing by this week.
I will update the spreadsheet at most 100, because I'm not taking more than 90 orders.
FYI, the blackbird will be the next keyboard GB. http://duck0113.tistory.com/130

Not sure, maybe in a few months.
Have anyone found a successful way to flash the firmware? I held down the top right key and my board won't go into boot mode for flashing whatsoever. I even tried second top right keys, caps lock, esc and no success so far.

I'd be willing to have him cut them if someone can give me parameters such as1. Usually Brass or Stainless Steel
1. What is it made of?
2. Price point?
3. Finishing?
4. Anything else you can think of

2. unsure
3. I think offering a mirror finish and a brushed finish would be sufficient
4. It should be countersunk and be approximately 3.5mm in height

You're planning to have one cut?Yes, although I want stainless steel.
Finishing is easy to DIY with just some brasso and a polishing cloth, maybe a little fine grit sandpaper if required. If it drops the price point considerably I would be fine with finishing it myself.IIRC metals are usually already sold in multiple finishes so it may not affect price too much
Duckness are you thinking of cutting more pieces so that international people (international to Singapore) would be able to buy from you/Group Buy, or should I attempt to run an Interest Check and Group Buy.
Is this even going to be worth a group buy for?
Please start IC thread for these inserts, I live in Indonesia, so shipping those from singapore might not be so bad.....

This is how I map my keys since the lightsaver v1. I don't imagine the octagon v2 being any different but you can give this a try. It's a bit of redirecting but hopefully it helps as long as the octagon also uses the atmega32U4 chip.
The driver I had installed for the Orion v2 worked for the Octagon so I imagine they are very similar in terms of hardware. Instructions should be basically the same except for keymap and the flip key (top right on the Octagon).

yep, the gui is pretty intuitive. the overall process is a little quirky, but the guide blighty uploaded covers the bases. anyone else having that issue with the arrow keys? i would rather not have to use a separate layer as a workaround

If there is even the slightest possibility of increasing the lot size by even 10 more, that would be amazing. This is one cool board that I sure wouldn't want to miss out on. You're organization on these buys is incredible. I know its alot harder than you make it look. Makes it that much harder for me knowing you have such a good grip on how to make this all work. :)

Received mine last week. Noticed yesterday when test fitting my stabs that my PCB has a couple of minor "imperfections". I tested closing the circuit on all switch mounting points and all seem to work, including LED holes. Does anyone else have this on the PCB, or is it just mine?

Is the plate bronze anodized? It kind of looks that way.
Nice board btw I never thought of mixing different tops and bottoms
Yes, some residue at D18. Look at D48. Dunno how to describe it, but it looks like it is from drilling the holes for the switch.Received mine last week.

not sure what you are referring to? maybe there is a bit of a "burn mark" around D18? could just be flux from soldering...
otherwise i dont see anything abnormal. a couple of those pads look like they're lifted, but i think it is just a black reflection of your camera or phone?

Are those Nixdorf blacks? It looks great! Which keyset are you planning to use with it?
Yes indeed they are, I just took another picture for you to have a better look at the switches.
I am not quite sure to be honest with you, usually I'm a sucker for DSA but I don't think it looks as nice with anything
above 65% so I'm probably going to go with something like.. BSP Cyrillic.. or BSP Hebrew. [:

the metal slivers are just the pin plating lifting away from the areas where there are modular holes for compatibility. Not really a problem, I've seen it on a lot of PCBs from Korea.
Go ANSI, join the master race :thumb:Hehe. Leaning towards that, but easier said than done. Especially for us Swedes with all the extra diacritical letters. Plus I'm not good at touch typing. I find myself having to look at the board from time to time. Especially for Alt Gr + key combinations. I'll probably put in a mix of keys with printed legends for ISO Nordic layout. It will be a bit wee difficult since I really want to put my Retro SA to use

Update on the payments: I'm going to cancel all unpaid orders by 9AM this Sunday May 8 and I will invoice the next in line. I'll give 24 hours to receive the payments. Given how much time was already given, it shouldn't take that long right? :)
I'm trying to rush this because they are waiting on the payments to move ahead with production.
Just a small reminder for those that prefer handing off assembly services! I'm always available for handling such things.
I do switch tuning, stab clipping, sanding, and lubing, band-aid mods, and soldering and desoldering--pretty much all standard services. I can also do hotswap (hotswappable switches and/or LEDs) PCB modding if anyone's into that.
I definitely wouldn't mind putting together some of these for anyone who wants or needs someone else to handle it for them.

My first Korean custom was the Octagon v1, so it'd be cool to work on a v2 or two. :P
I might take you up on that. Can we discuss when R3 is getting closer? XD
Update on the payments: I'm going to cancel all unpaid orders by 9AM this Sunday May 8 and I will invoice the next in line. I'll give 24 hours to receive the payments. Given how much time was already given, it shouldn't take that long right? :)
I'm trying to rush this because they are waiting on the payments to move ahead with production.
Any chance I will make it in? My name is on the list but I'm 98 on the list right now.Considering that there are 6 outstanding invoices from what I can see and you're 7th from it I'd say 0% chance

I reached out to Elton on May 5th and he replied with the following: "Last told was about 2-3 weeks. They have the cases prepared and made already, just need to anodize them".
I seem to recall reading that there would be another group buy for octagons, am I remembering correctly?

Will this GB ever come back? :'(I'm guessing when v3 comes around but v2 is gone as far as I know.
I have a Blue-greyOctagon v2 Full Aluminum kit.Anyone have a Red-Silver(top or bottom case doesn't matter)want to trade to Blue-grey please let me know.Thanks :D
No thanks :D I only want to trade it to another alu bottom.I have a Blue-greyOctagon v2 Full Aluminum kit.Anyone have a Red-Silver(top or bottom case doesn't matter)want to trade to Blue-grey please let me know.Thanks :D

Duck does all kinds of different keyboards and his next one up is the Blackbird. You can check out his website http://duck0113.tistory.com/ (http://duck0113.tistory.com/) and you can see the timeline between some of his boards but my guess is it will be at least a year before for V.3, if V.3 ever comes.
That would be the LED for numlock. Just plug in any keyboard with a numpad to turn it off/on.Ahaaa. Yes but of course. (Feeling stupid now). Haven't used a full size keyboard with numpad for a long time.
Finally done mine!Beautiful. Lmk if you gonna sell it lol
Finally done mine!very nice :thumb:

Love what you did with your Orion V2 by the way. Have you hot-swap modded Cherry type PCBs also?
Can we get an update on how things are going by any chance? I PM'd Elton with no reply about this awhile ago.

Using lubed 65g Zealios with my Retro SA set. At the moment I'm going all brown. Really wish I had gotten the PETSCII set as well, but didn't have the funds when the GB was running. :-( I'll experiment with different key color combination of the Retro SA set in the future. For now I like going all brown.
My first ANSI build and I have installed SE keys to get used to the layout (not good at touch typing).
I also have to apologize for the bad quality of the images. I used my phone and couldn't be bothered picking up my DSLR.
Really liking the layout and I am utilizing layers to control LEDs and Fn key for compensating for losing some keys to the layout and going from ISO SE to ANSI.
Unfortunately it is not all peaches. I have re-occurring problem with the Octagon that I've described here: https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=78549.msg2172587#msg2172587
Edit:
The issue seem to have mysteriously disappeared. Last time it happened I flashed it using Atmel Flip instead of O2D KeyMapper. It has been solid ever since. Been using the board everyday at work for a couple of days now. Hopefully I'm not jinxing it by writing this post and it stays functional.
Can we get an update on how things are going by any chance? I PM'd Elton with no reply about this awhile ago.
I believe they're anodizing the keyboards right now.

Alright awesome. Is that for round 2 or round 3?
finally finished making zealios and getting into this build. can someone give an explanation for the 7 indicator LEDs?
(picture from duck's site)Show Image(http://cfile3.uf.tistory.com/image/2358804356A8B624088F93)
I am guessing the 3 on the left are NumLock, ScrollLock, CapsLock (idk what order) and the other 4 are layers??
finally finished making zealios and getting into this build. can someone give an explanation for the 7 indicator LEDs?Correct. Note that when layer 4 is active, none of the layer LEDs are active. 4th LED in the layer LED cluster is used when LED control is activated.

So, why is there a NumLock LED? There is no number cluster.anybody using this for something else?Good question. The Orion also has a NumLock LED without having a number cluster.
Does anyone have info about batch 2 and 3? Cant wait anymore :(
How long did the first and second buys take from paypal->U.S. doorsteps? What is the ETA for the 3rd/final round in the U.S.?Invoices started going out February 1st. First round was at people's doorsteps ~April 20th.
Hey guys, as I prepare for r3, what kind of stabilizers does the octagon support? Pcb or plate mounted?

First page and first post :rolleyes:... "(Requires Cherry PCB stabilizers)"
Maybe a year later. It's still finishing up
Yea I should of mentioned that. Best bet would be to go through the classifieds and r/mechmarketMaybe a year later. It's still finishing up
No guarantee and if it does it will probably be a V.3, so there will most likely be changes.
I've tried to contact elton about a adress change on my order in batch 3. But have not yet got a reply. Any know if elton have been seen lately?

Does anyone know how to turn on the layer 4 indicator on when switching to that particular layer?
When plugging in the keyboard, the last/layer 4 indicator turns on for about 5 seconds and then turns off. When I cycle through the layers, indicators for layers 1-3 stay lit but 4 doesn't for some odd reason.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Got mine in! Thanks a ton, Elton!
It's not assembled, however. I'll likely be putting in the 65g Zealios I have in it, but, if anyone is looking to purchase one of these, shoot me a PM and we can talk. I probably want to assemble it for the hell of it, and probably give it a bit of a test, but I doubt it'll see much use. Acrylic bottom, as the order sheet says.

Hi all, can someone tell me the exact length and height of the front side of Octagon V2? I want make wrist rest that must match the length and height of Octagon V2, but I lack the proper tools to measure them myself. Thanks in advance
Man, I don't think I'll be building mine for awhile.
Trying to make a switchable top plate for this, hopefully that works out. Reason I'm doing it is because I'm very conflicted as to what switches I should use.
On the firmware issues, I've got an odd one too.
I've flashed my board with O2D, and I'm pretty pleased with the results. Got macros working, LED settings, custom layers...
The odd thing is that pressing Left Control and then Tab will auto-release Left Control even though I'm still holding it down. This is common on OSX for switching tabs (I actually think it's the same on Windows, or similar, if not). You keep Left Control pressed and keep pressing Tab to cycle through tabs (likewise Shift+Control+Tab). However I can't do that as it autoreleases Left Control inserting just tabs after the first one. It's bizarre as it works fine with the Right Control. The odd thing is that it seems like it's just that combination (Left Ctrl + Tab), using Left Ctrl + A or Left Ctrl + E repeatedly by holding down control (for home and end) works fine.
Can anyone else try and see if they can cycle tabs with Left Ctrl + Tab?
One other odd thing, I mapped Volume Up, Volume Down and Mute. They have some odd logic going on as if I press them in rapid succession, it registers as if I'd been holding them down. It almost seems like those actions have a really long debounce or something. Odd as it's just those keys.

Super weird, after a bit Left Ctrl + Tab fixed itself.

could be a sign of soldering issues?
Love the board but does anyone else feel that the aluminum bottom and top together makes the board super heavy? I shift my keyboard around when I'm adjusting my seat. On another note - I love the acrylic bottom - the videos and pictures really don't do justice to how the lights blend togetherThe weight is the point ;) the feet are just super high friction, if you want it to be easier to move, replace those first.

If you need some basic assistance shoot me a PM and hopefully I can provide some help.

Are there any round 3 updates? If the round 1 and 2 timeframe between payment to shipment is on track, we could be getting these bad boys end of next month?
Keep in mind merlin64 will probably run a GB for such plate.

Yaaaay! Does the pcb support a winkeyless layout?
Yaaaay! Does the pcb support a winkeyless layout?Unfortunately not, because i am winkey user (alignin windows with "win + arrows" is priceless). However it can be easily transformed into winkeyles or what ever you want layout. The most important thing here is to get proper outer shape.
Tomb3ry can you elaborate on what you had to manually shave down, just eyeballing it from my 15 inch laptop screen, it's hard to notice any differences between that and the original.

The following picture displays with arrows the sites i have shaved down. I shaved down maybe less than 0.5mm. Those screw grommits need to be moved more to the center.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/FMuqG0u.jpg)
The plate fits barelly and if you are not careful enough the plate might scratch the top case.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/1wb5H6y.jpg)
However after fixing it with screws, it sits very well and tight like a guitar string. The plate has no flex (loosines). Overall its extremely stiff compared to aluminum plate.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/aRKVzsN.jpg)
The plate sits very centric and has on every site ~1mm slot.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/d8SaGgZ.jpg)
Keep in mind that plate is cnc milled. It was not cut with water or something else.
Overall i am very happy with that plate. It fullfills all my needs. However for a real GB, the svg i got, needs a little bit workout. I dont think people will buy a product which they have to mill/shave down afterwards.

How to connect in DFU mode?

I tried both, and did unfurtunate not work... Believe it's because of windows 10. Very strange that the locale setting in windows 10 did not work at all. Anyway I managed to get it working with this:
https://github.com/xupefei/Locale-Emulator
And one more thing. Can anyone explain a little about the macros how those work? Espacially whats the difference between s and d macros.
that link from microsoft dneHmm, you're right. I've got the msi locally, but on vacation atm. So I am not able to upload it as an attachment. But it does not seem to work on win10 anyway. You could try the other utility beltet mentioned instead.

I have not noticed it until you told me :eek:... Damn you :mad:
Anyway I will check it when I get home. As I have not noticed it before hopefully I will not, later as well.
In pictures 2 & 3, there is a faint line on the top and bottom aluminum case that runs parallel to the angel of the top case. Looks darker or lighter than the rest of the case depending on the viewing angle. It's faint and hardly noticeable, but it's there.Hmm. Hardly noticeable on the images. I will have to check on mine when I get back home from vacation. I've got top black and bottom silver case. Silver bottom is not in use at the moment though. As I am using the acrylic bottom.
EDIT: I've only seen the faint line on the Silver/Gray boards.

I got my box, packaging was fantastic, 5/7!! every thing checks out! one question: is the silver top/bottom supposed to be the same shade as the silver aluminum switch plate? mine is different shades when putting them next to each other. starting to think i got the blue-grey instead. can anyone confirm if the silver alum case has the same shade as the silver alum switch plate? thanks guys..

Anyone have some more insight on how the LED UP and DOWN work for O2D firmware? All I get are two levels of brightness... either all the way up or completely off.Led Up/Down serves as On/Off when not in "Led Ctrl" mode. The brightness of each led group can be adjusted via Led Up/Down once Led Ctrl is toggled.

You ever get the issue where when using leds that when typing really fast for a long period if time, the leds fade down? I know there's a mode where that's the behavior but I'm getting it no matter what when all the leds are on...
Great to know I'm not the only one, I'm going crazy trying to get the LEDs to do what I want lol. I noticed that if I leave it at default max brightness with the rgb backlight the dimming doesn't occur. However if I'm using any customized led setting then it'll happen.This happens to me also.

I've held down the 2nd button to the top- right, yes. but I held down the top right most button before that and I think that may have screwed something up. Now whenever I plug it in regardless of holding down the button or not, it goes straight to DFU.

Sorry, I mean literally flashing the HEX file through Atmel FLIP? (http://www.atmel.com/tools/FLIP.aspx) You would build your HEX through O2D and then flash it with FLIP. You could follow this guide (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=49647.0) save for the HEX building part. Proceed with caution.
Got mine yesterday!, won't be building it fully till I move in 10 days, anyone got any ideas for a black/green themed keycap set, or any other ideas I have the silver base also need to buy a usb wire.. thinking going with Zeal's green and black
Have you checked out Toxic set?
It would take sometime to find one now though

You have to hole the top right key and then plug the keyboard in to get it into DFU mode. Holding that button is most likely for some type of function.
Just a quick question... I saw that the pcb supports rgb smd leds, but is that only for the underlight, or can we do it for switches? For instance, would these work with zeal's rgb lights?
Thanks!
Programmed mine without a hitch the first time, but can't seem to get it to program again with ATMEL FLip or with the DFU programmer.. it doesn't seem to have the correct driver installed. Holding the right key above backspace and plugging it in does not seem to get the ATMEL USB to show up under Device Manager either.. does anyone know how I can get the correct drive installed? Thanks!

If I recall correctly, the key you want to hold is the upper right most key in the corner. Try that one.
Figured it out... someone another driver got installed over it and it was showing up in device manager under Universal Serial Bus Devices... I deleted that driver and it reverted back to the original driver and works now. Thanks!!
Have anyone managed to turn of the underlight LED's? Can't find any option for it in O2D programmer. Also have anyone tested some other firmware? For example TMK?You can turn them off via RGB Mode key set. You toggle it through LED mode under FM layer 4 and it's set default to F5 or something.
I'm almost done with porting octagon v2 to tmk. Matrix works, status and rgb leds work. I'll have to test switch leds (not soldered yet). I'm not sure how to let the user control all these led combinations.

I traced the octagon v2 pcb and created a low level api in tmk to control the hardware. I haven't spend any time on led effects, maybe someone will carry on from here. This firmware isn't much tested and should only be used by tmk experts first.

Does anyone know if it's possible that the underglow has a solid color and stays on? I've tried all led options on o2d mapper but closest I get is a solid color and slowly pulsing on and off. Anything I'm missing?

I tried the same for the Duck Black Bird, without having the board glitch (I'll get back to that later) the only possible thing is setting all LEDs to the same color which means reflashing if you want to change said color.
So, to the glitching. I don't know how this exactly happened, but it happened a few times already. Somehow you can swap the color palettes used for the modes, so you can have reactive multicolors and static monocolors. How? No idea, but it has to be a glitch because it is not documented at all (or just in Korean) and I was not able to trigger it when going through the standard functions.
My new PCB is unresponsive, I downloaded the O2D tool and plugged the usb in holding the second key from the top left and nothing happens, Anyone have some quick pointers?

Anyone have any idea?
There is no response from the keyboard or PC when plugged in(windows 10)
have you tried flashing it with Atmel Flip instead? First time was going to flash my Octagon V2 it didn't respond either. Only after I flashed it with Flip for the first time. Did you perform the hot-swap mod on the PCB or did you receive it as is?

Have you tried it prior to installing the holtite sockets? Did you buy the PCB separately? Or are you building your kit?

The PCB was new in bag from the person I bought this Octagon Kit from. It was wrapped up in the original plastic.
Where is that switch? That may be the cause but I am away from home today for work.
I preformed the hotlite mod myself, It is a solderless Job save for one pad that wouldn't fit a hotlite. I have set up several boards now with hotlites and have had 0 issues.

That's a program he's referring to, not a physical switch.

Ahh okay, is there a guide to flashing the pcb with Atmel Flip for the first time? CTRLx do you have any pointers after having done exactly that?
what is goin on with that bottom right switch? did you solder in that holtite?
nice job trouble-shooting that. i remember some other guy on reddit recently burning up his board. idk if he was using zeal stabs or not, but definitely catostrophic
Here is my problem, I try to use O2D keymapper (version 1.8.622) and when I select Octagon V2 the arrow keys are all question marks "?" "?" "?" and if i try to map arrow keys elsewhere and save I would get Error "76" is there a better version of the O2D or may another software that can do keymapping for duck boards? Thank in advance for any suggestions.
Ladies and gentlemen I figured it out,Good job figuring it out. I will definitely double check your findings as I have 3 builds coming up with Zeal stabs and Leeku PCBs.
Listen to my yarn...
Based on the fact that a small section of the resistors heating up I figured the issue must lie at one end of the parts in question, a short maybe. On the right side there was nothing that could cause it, on the left, Zeal Screw in Stabs.... Sure enough they cause a short when screwed into the Enter key position on the octagon PCB. What a novel issue.
This is a word of warning, make sure you put an o-ring or something similar when you use screw in stabs on any Duck PCB where the traces pass around the stab hole.
Thanks for everyone who checked out my issues.
For putting up with my questions I present picturesthat's how i wanted to set my keys (like yours) by swap pipe "|\" with "Backspace" how did you do yours? please list out your procedures it is much appreciated :)

Here is my problem, I try to use O2D keymapper (version 1.8.622) and when I select Octagon V2 the arrow keys are all question marks "?" "?" "?" and if i try to map arrow keys elsewhere and save I would get Error "76" is there a better version of the O2D or may another software that can do keymapping for duck boards? Thank in advance for any suggestions.
You have to open the O2D keymapper with Korean locale iirc, otherwise you will get the error and have your arrow keys be question marks.
Ladies and gentlemen I figured it out,Good job figuring it out. I will definitely double check your findings as I have 3 builds coming up with Zeal stabs and Leeku PCBs.
Listen to my yarn...
Based on the fact that a small section of the resistors heating up I figured the issue must lie at one end of the parts in question, a short maybe. On the right side there was nothing that could cause it, on the left, Zeal Screw in Stabs.... Sure enough they cause a short when screwed into the Enter key position on the octagon PCB. What a novel issue.
This is a word of warning, make sure you put an o-ring or something similar when you use screw in stabs on any Duck PCB where the traces pass around the stab hole.
Thanks for everyone who checked out my issues.
Ladies and gentlemen I figured it out,That's something that sounds like it shouldn't be happening. Have you contacted zeal to see if it was an issue with just your batch or something other people have reported? I've got some coming in too so I'm glad this was something that got caught before I installed mine into another board.

Octagon V3 Group Buy any time soon?
Are you getting that when you are trying to save your layout? I read in the Duck BlackBird thread that you have to create your own name, and it should save the hex file.
Is this on a board you just made? Or did you buy it pre-built? If it's the latter, did it happen all of the sudden, or when you received it?
Has anyone weighed this board? I'd like to see how it compares to other top mount 75% cases.5.5lb or ~2.5kg
Well who would've thought I'd screw up my most prized possession... thought I'd be cool and try to desolder a switch cause it made a slightly different pingy noise (barely noticeable) and got carried away at how I kept failing and eventually burnt some of the pads. Called it quits and soldered it back just to find out that my whole keyboard was rendered useless... anyone know if a single switch could do that?
Basically when I plug the board back in, the top right light stays lit and the caps/top right key LEDs stay active. No keys get registered when typing.
Would appreciate it if anyone could give some insight (switch is the "B" key, next to the D71 and R85). Thanks!Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/CrVpYXY.jpg)Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/8jSddLx.jpg)Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/8NXsO1h.jpg)

You will definitely need to jump some traces to get it fixed. I can see some broken traces near R85 just from the pics you provided. best ofluck

Thanks for the suggestion, I will try that once I've given myself a bit of a break from my regret and frustration... do you think I should bother connecting up the led trace as well? I figured that one isn't as important since taking out the LED makes it open anyways. I thought the one above was for the resistors as well (also tied to the LEDs) but maybe it is important... definitely the top suspect for now though.
Oh No!! I'm sorry to hear that musubi! This is actually one of the reasons why I still haven't built my kit. I'm looking into holtites since I can't seem to get a metal switch plate just perfect.

I think it may not matter, it depends on how it flows.
It's probably something crossing and shorting causing a few keys to get sent / locking your board up, but other than that I can't be of much help other than suggesting which solder sucker to use (https://www.amazon.com/Engineer-SS-02-Solder-Sucker/dp/B002MJMXD4/ref=s9u_wsim_gw_i1?_encoding=UTF8&fpl=fresh&pd_rd_i=B002MJMXD4&pd_rd_r=FRV550TVKXCNSAKYM4M1&pd_rd_w=2G3K8&pd_rd_wg=Jo9mm&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=&pf_rd_r=JKNAM1N2SER3GNJKB5R3&pf_rd_t=36701&pf_rd_p=2a4fafb6-9fdc-425a-aee8-c82daa7b18ed&pf_rd_i=desktop)
These stories are why I have 4 unbuilt duck kits sitting in my closet.

These stories are why I have 4 unbuilt duck kits sitting in my closet.Oh man, I didn't know so many people are afraid they will mess up. I have put together about a dozen custom boards including Duck & TX boards, a couple Ergodox, fixed a few boards too. If anyone just need a board to put together I might be able to help. Thought I would throw this out there. I really want to see more assembled board pictures and not kits sitting in a box somewhere collecting dust.
This. Many people would love to have the chance to even own one Duck keyboard and others, who were luckier getting their hands on one have them lying around unbuilt. Bit of a shame I think about it.These stories are why I have 4 unbuilt duck kits sitting in my closet.Oh man, I didn't know so many people are afraid they will mess up.

Glad to hear that it works! Would you mind showing a few more captures of the keyboard as a whole?
The actual build itself. I don't think I've seen it before! :)Glad to hear that it works! Would you mind showing a few more captures of the keyboard as a whole?
Thanks! And sure, do you mean of just the pcb or of the actual board itself? It's not a new build or anything :))
Good news everyone! Got my baby to work again with some jumpers (rip traces and pads). Guess the trace running parallel with all of the LEDs is an important power rail or something (would've expected it to be parallel with each LED row and not so critical), but good thing they have those debug holes for easy troubleshooting. Also the switch pad was dead as well but that was more obvious.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/e4gZzmM.jpg)

Nice fix.
It's very odd that the power rail is not in series on the MCU. But that's on the designer...

Ocean Dolch has not shipped yet. The mods are from Hyperfuse.
With much encouragement, and finally getting some time. I would like to announce that I am finally building my Octagon V2 this coming Saturday, June 24th, 2017. :DWill there be a live stream?😀
The Seattle crew is doing a build party on someone's roof top. I don't think I'll be live streaming it, but that is a good idea. Maybe when I build my Duck Eagle..sometime around 2018 or so
For those of you curious....holtites (even the tin ones) fit super loosely on the Octagon V2. Looks like I'll be soldering them in.

If the PCB is made to the same spec as the Blackbird one, don't add solder to the pads, they already come with a bit of solder on them, just get a soldering iron with a clean tip and press them in like that, works perfect.
I got it working! Didn't have to use a soldering iron. Between the plate, and the PCB mount studs, everything is perfect. Guess what I'm typing on?

It's tomorrow at 4! Are you in Seattle?
The other indicators show you which layer you are currently on.
To set the underglow to a static color you have to edit the colors in the keymap. Open your keymap, then select tools on the top, then select RGB color preset and then change all of them to the color you want.

The placement of the side menus is pretty bad, but I think the keymapping itself is a lot better than Bootmapper Client because it actually shows you the layout of the board and not just a grid with keys that don't make sense unless you hit the button to see what it corresponds to.Kind of wish this software would get a facelift to something more intuitive and user friendly similar to the bootmapper.Show Image(http://puu.sh/xkjxc/fb07126c91.png)Show Image(http://puu.sh/xkjyg/3affa8a5b5.png)

It's not all bad, but things like connecting to keymapping software and changing colors s super easy on other software. No holding the flip key and reconnect keyboard necessay. Again, only pointing it out because seen others like WKL and TAX boards work better in some aspects.The placement of the side menus is pretty bad, but I think the keymapping itself is a lot better than Bootmapper Client because it actually shows you the layout of the board and not just a grid with keys that don't make sense unless you hit the button to see what it corresponds to.Kind of wish this software would get a facelift to something more intuitive and user friendly similar to the bootmapper.Show Image(http://puu.sh/xkjxc/fb07126c91.png)Show Image(http://puu.sh/xkjyg/3affa8a5b5.png)

Make v3 happen, please! Hard to find a 75% this quality in the market right now.

Does a TX-75 PCB fit the octagon case?
I've confirmed that the TX75 PCB WILL work with an octagon. You won't be able to use the pinhole indicators, though.
PULL REQUEST accepted by jack! I've had no problems using my octagon v2 with this firmware so far!
Real Story: HD with my octagon v2 hex files and the programmer died...didn't want to invest time in finding the right version tool and getting frustrated with it all over again.

Just out of curiosity there is no way to get the clusters of LEDs running different modes like in O2D right? Meaning, F row keys running breathing mode while alphas respond to key press speed or something.

You can have them in different modes. You can select different modes for alphas, modifiers, and function keys (F row).

Sorry, this was in response to the QMK firmware. Is that possible with QMK as well?
Thanks!
