Title: [GB] The Adélie - Premium 50%+ Keyboard | Concluded
Post by: Abec13 on Wed, 23 September 2020, 10:24:40

Hello and welcome to the Group Buy for the Adélie!

Inspiration
As more people should, I take this hobby pretty lightly. The Adélie is named after a type of penguin. I like penguins.
The board layout inspiration comes from a combination of the CA66, my previous board, the 45-ATS, and the TMO50 v1.
The board shape inspiration comes from a combination of the CA66 (https://i.redd.it/ceizm1buaa231.jpg), Elephant S7 (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20181220/1fadd0aaf938d39e946b7f9246e5c576.jpg), and the side "weights" are something that I pulled from the GMK Q100 (https://external-preview.redd.it/DTb2ibpnVoWFmh_9ZvveovnJ1OE9NAywszdgr1Z73Rk.jpg?width=960&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=2d5dd1893f8ec221eb146b4e7a92e62a86b0144d).
There was a lot of interest in the 45-ATS but some people were wishing for the full punctuation. I hear your call - here's my answer.

While MKEU is not limiting the amount of orders that can be placed with them, they will not be accepting overflow orders from the US or any other region of the other vendors.

Also, will plate files be released and how long will the GB run in the EU/OCE?

Thanks!

No offense meant toward you. I wasn't suggesting you were trying to disadvantage NA. And I don't blame Cannon Keys, either. If they're only comfortable doing 100 units that's absolutely their call.

Besides, we come out way ahead in most group buys so the shoe being on the other foot for this one isn't the end of the world.

What is the purpose of making unlimited units available in the EU, but capping at 100 units outside of the EU?  Seems like an odd stipulation since I 'could' have a trusted coworker in the EU buy one and ship it to me (funds xfer + VAT + extra shipping being the downside of course).

Each vendor has a maximum amount of boards they wish to handle. EU is not expecting many numbers so have set no official cap. If they receive and overwhelming amount they may decide to cut off. You may very well do that, but is unlikely for most people to have that resource.

This is really awesome! I'm looking forward to this as shipping and other fees killed my opportunity with the Pearl keyboard. This will be my first every sub 60% board! Is there any possibility to get brass instead of stainless steel on the blue colorway? I'm really diggin' the blue! I'm scandinavian, so I assume the unlimited GB is also valid for me as mykeyboard is my primary vendor. And is it really true it lasts a whole week in the EU? If so that is very impressive!  :eek:

Just ordered a blue through Mykeyboard, with a CF plate and extra PCB. I planned on ordering a U80-A Seq 2 in the ongoing GB, but with extra PCB, shipping and the whopping 25% VAT I would need to pay at importing (plus fees), this was both the economical and emotional choice, so I just went for it. It’s always great to support the “small business”, (although of course RAMA is no international conglomerate) and I just love the Penguin-theme and it just feels great to get to dip my toes into sub 60%. :) Really looking forward to this, and congrats on a truly awesome design, Abec!
I sure wish smaller projects would take note when it comes to having European vendors, the VAT (although I am happy to pay it, keeps society running, after all) is truly prohibitive for even mid-range projects.

I'm new to the whole keyboard scene, so I am wondering, why would one order an extra plate if one is already included?

A) They are only offering brass plates as standard. Other materials offer a different typing experience

B) Plates usually get permanently attached to the PCB via all the soldered in switches. Many people buy an extra pcb/plate combo so you can easily swap to linears OR have a better re-sell value with a fresh unsoldered pcb/plate combo (granted you can probably just have a pcb for that, but desoldering switches is like throwing away $100 bucks

C) The FR4 was a cheaper plate if you needed an extra

D) If anything breaks, you will struggle to find a replacement for your expensive paperweight

You pick a kit and add it to the cart THEN you choose a color for $1 and add that to the cart to get a complete board in the color you want.

Not able to find the length of the bottom of the keyboard at all.
The MarbleK wrist rest for the GMK Civilization keycap set seems to go perfect with this build keyboard that I bought but the lowest % wrist rest they offer for this is 60%
Wondering if 60% wrist rest would work for this Adelie or if the measurements would still be off by quite a bit.

Hello everyone,

At the moment the QMK and Via file are in the works. This was expected to be done sooner but we (Cannon Keys and I) have had some hiccups. Cannon keys is working on finishing this up and as soon as it is ready it will be posted here and shared in the respective discords.

Thanks for your patience. Looking forward to seeing all of these builds!

Until then, give this a try: https://github.com/awkannan/qmk_firmware/tree/202006_adelie_firmware/keyboards/cannonkeys/adelie

Again, sorry of this sounds idiotic to you seasoned 40s people, and thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

Not sure what other people experience with VIA at the moment, I've build mine and VIA recognised as Engima Infinitum 87. Seems like to have the correct layout I'll have to compile QMK code and reflash with a new hex.

VIA doesn't want to play ball with info.json from GitHub repo out of the box as well and side loading Definition with this json is throwing errors

I'm also new to 40%, github and coding for QMK in general

It is possible but I'm not sure that it's strait forward if you are using VIA. You would have to edit the keymap file from this repo and compile it for QMK.

Not too much of a problem, I had to edit knob controls and OLED printouts for my Launchpad. This should be a piece of cake. All I'm concerned about is, if I make changes to the keymap and compile a hex based on it, will I still be able to otherwise use VIA to program the board with the product? If you don't know, I can experiment and report back.

Cannon Keys is ultimately in charge of the qmk branch of this board, I have asked Upas to push on the QMK submission which is about all that can be done atm. I recommend using VIA in the meantime, unless you have some fancy things planned for QMK that VIA cannot handle.
