[IC] MAJA (Majapahit) (Group Buy Started, Moving to Group Buy Thread)

[chickenballs]

I signed up on kdbfans and I'm like #1775 in line. If the plan is to batches of 100$ per release, this is gonna take for ever to get one for everyone no? This seems like not very efficient for something with that much high demand.
(I might have gotten the 100 per batch wrong so don't hesitate to correct me)

Everyone gets emailed at the same time. It's first come first serve. After the 100 are sold I think it's going into an unlimited group buy. I'm hoping it won't take very long between the sale and gb but knowing kbd and current situation, I am not too optimistic

Any word on possible case colors?  Would love to see white, maybe polycarb too if possible.

Hi, I'm fairly new to MKs. I'm interested in this board and waiting for the launch but one question: how would I select the proper keycap set for this keyboard while paying attention to r1, r2 etc and the weird keycap widths. Any tips how I would go on about this? I mean, usually there's a sheet of each keycap slot size in U´s right?

[TalksToChalk]

You can try to estimate how long a keycap is (all alphas are 1U and you can use these to extrapolate) or you can ask in KBDFans discord if you need confirmation on a few of them.

So, still not an "unlimited group buy" as was previously claimed?

Will PC feature a underglow pcb?

[SlamMakanen]

No red option like in the original renders? Guess there wasn't enough interest - aw man 

[Taicho]

Hotswap only... So sad

Now to decide whether to wait out for next round of Rukia or this!!! 

[stein3]

Do we know what the colors look like? I'm curious between the upcoming in stock blue and the group buy misty blue. And whether they have brushed or polished brass.

Hello guys,

I have good news and bad news.

The good news is,  The GB starts tomorrow June 25th at 10.00 am EST. Also, I finally have major updates from Kbdfans. I have posted all of the information with photos and video on the main page of this thread. please check them out.

The bad news is, the 100 stocked case will not be for sale, the reason is that all of the 100 cases have problems with the brass weight, so we need to return it and get it fixed.

A delayed product is eventually good. A rushed product is bad forever.

I know I speak for most of us when I say we appreciate your attention to detail and that you'd rather have them sent back instead of selling a sub par product.

Looking forward to getting one nevertheless

Wait so now there will be a soldered pcb option? Will this be for the first run now or still only hotswap for the first run?

How long does gb open for? And is there a lead time on production of maja? And do we have an option to purchase extras? like pcbs and plates?

Okay, thanks! That's good news. A few posts up, someone had posted a link to a screencap that seemed to show limited numbers for the GB phase as well.

Will we be able to also order additional plates and/or PCBs?

So when will the GB run till? Get paid on Friday, want to see if I'll have a chance to grab one.

[steezkeez]

Will there be an option to add extra PCBs to the order? As of right now, I don’t see the ability to do that on the product page. I would like to purchase both a hotswap and non-hotswap PCB with the board.

I sure hope the dark green option is available... guess I will find out tomorrow.

Were real life photos of the final colors posted anywhere? I'm not sure how secure I feel going for blue with only renders.

Just making sure they were final colors. Did any review units get sent to content creators?

[Nyeezy]

GB is only on kbdfans right?

And is it truly unlimited? KBDfans discord says there’s only 200 of each color?

[Mcnos]

This board has came a long way, congrats

[TalksToChalk]

Will solder version have split backspace support?

Never mind i see the layouts supported on OP. (It does support split backspace)

[oom]

Could someone confirm the bottom row is: 1.5 - 1.5 - 2 - 1.25 - 2.75 - 1.5?

Also, the shift underneath the enter is 2u?

[Poesjuh]

Don’t mind the hand writing
I assume hot-swappable will use one of the left side layouts.

No E-White it seems. Sad about that, but that Green looks nice and is unique.

[h40]

Can we get confirmation on colors? Particularly interested in green. Is it still Pine Grove (19-5406 TCX)?

I remove e-white because the current factory that we are working with does not support e-white.

[Cosmic Outlaw]

Huh, why did the KBD In-Stock and Ready to Buy notification go out when they never were intended to be sold? So group buy starts today then, what's the shipping prognosis for group buy items? What happens to the previously in-stock items?

I have already explain this above. They were intended to be sold but they didnt pass QC.. something is wrong with the brass weight so we had to return it to the factory to get it fixed.

Shipping of the GB item will be announce after the GB ends. Because we can not estimate the lead time before knowing how many quantity needed to be made.

Forest green did make it! It is live on KBDfans, not purchasable yet.

Alu Black   Alu Deep Blue Alu Dark Green   Polycarbonate Alu Grey

EDIT: Ordered the Dark Green! Shipping to the US was pretty cheap.
If you want a solder and hot swap PCB, it is $10 cheaper to order the keyboard with a hot swap PCB and add the solderable. Use ILOVEKBDFANS for $2 off.
So excited to get this keyboard!

[i luv chuletas]

I'm happy for you man, this keyboard has been in the making for a long long time. Congrats!

I'll prolly be picking up one of the green units, love me some unique colors and the price point makes it feel like it'd be plain rude to not pick one of these up.
