Placing an Order



Timeline:



Terms

We'll do our best to do QC but we cannot guarantee every board is 100% perfect.
If there are blemishes, depending on the condition of the boards, possible solutions include replacement, return item chargeback, and partial refunds.



Update:

As so many people asked, dedicated WKL plate can be available, but only in black/clear PC.
You can write a note in the last question in the order form and tell me to replace the PC layout to dedicated WKL.

The current "WKL" plate is meant to be used for the hotswap PCB.
The universal plate is a must-have.
The dedicated HHKB plate is requested in the IC.
The ALPS plate is also a must-have.
There's no one that I want to delete, so I make compromise and provide 5th option in PC material only.

I can not provide any more options guys LOL



Update on 01/23:

stop accepting orders.
Deadline for payment is 01/25 everywhere in the world.

Big thanks for MechMerlin (https://github.com/mechmerlin)'s help!

E-white is pure white. Mao white is greyish white.
E-white is smoother than MAO white.

Will RGB leds be installed on the back of the PCBs?

There are no built-in RGB LEDs on the PCB. The main reason is the high failure rate of the RGB LEDs. They are wired in series. One LED has a bad soldering point then all the rest won't work.
The PCB will have soldering pads for LED strips. They are flexible to attach and easy to drive with QMK.

One is hotswappable. Another supports ALPS and MX. Otherwise, they're nothing special.

As we're not running the GB through zFrontier (due to the CNY holiday), we'll do the shipping directly. We'll work with a DHL proxy.
The good thing is, the shipping will be much faster. zFrontier second time QC normally take one week or more.
The bad thing is, we don't have the second time QC this time. We'll do the QC more carefully tho.

Yes, it's not ideal. However, it's not possible to make it ideal for every possible layout.
There are 4 types of plates, 2 types of PCB, 3 types of top case layout. That's best we can do.

The gaskets are pretty soft, but they are only 1.5mm thin on both sides of the plate. I'd say it's mainly for sound dampening.

I don't think that adding a standard BS and stepped caps option would ruin the plate for the hotswap pcb, i've tested before and it works just fine.
Also, the Tokyo 60 has a stepped cutout

As so many people asked, dedicated WKL plate can be available, but only in black/clear PC.
You can write a note in the last question in the order form and tell me to replace the PC layout to dedicated WKL.

The current "WKL" plate is meant to be used for the hotswap PCB.
The universal plate is a must-have.
The dedicated HHKB plate is requested in the IC.
The ALPS plate is also a must-have.

I can not provide any more options guys LOL

Hi, I really wanted to join but a bit concerned regarding shipping to my country. Will you use a door-to-door shipping method like DHL Express or do I have to pick it up in our local post once it arrives? Customs fees and loooong processing time in our country is a bit of a mess, which is why I asked.

I hope you can provide more info on the shipping proxy that you will use. Thanks, Senter! I'm really looking forward to this!

Go look at the initial GB post for the leaf 80 on reddit. There’s direct comparison pictures. Otherwise there’s a lot of posts of e white and a couple mao on the leaf 80 GH thread and on reddit

Oh I saw that about the backspace but I assume I can't use the WKL plate with alps anyway due to different cutouts? I would need to use the alps plate and pcb and just leave a gap on the winkeys?

I really want the numpad friend to have 24 keys eventually, but I'll be patient and wait till everything is final and try to add what I can.

SOOOO hype for this one!

Will the original WKL plate still retain the cutouts (as shown in the image) that would be under the blockers as well? It’d be nice for PC cases to have it closed like the HHKB plate since it’s transparent.

Same with the “new” dedicated WKL PC plates, if you can share the design of that as well that would be great. Thanks

Just placed my order.  Will there be a follow up with the details of the order to make sure we got it all in right?

As so many people asked, dedicated WKL plate can be available, but only in black/clear PC.
You can write a note in the last question in the order form and tell me to replace the PC layout to dedicated WKL.

The current "WKL" plate is meant to be used for the hotswap PCB.
The universal plate is a must-have.
The dedicated HHKB plate is requested in the IC.
The ALPS plate is also a must-have.

I can not provide any more options guys LOL

My thoughts exactly! What setup are you planning? I hear polycarb makes boards sound better so pairing alps with that could be a good combo. I am between the PC and E-White.

I'm pretty sure I'll be buying two (pc alps and brass mx), plus another alps brass plate + pcb.  Zealio V2's are quite nice, and I'm a sucker for Split Space.  Still waffling though.

Hi, I really wanted to join but a bit concerned regarding shipping to my country. Will you use a door-to-door shipping method like DHL Express or do I have to pick it up in our local post once it arrives? Customs fees and loooong processing time in our country is a bit of a mess, which is why I asked.

I hope you can provide more info on the shipping proxy that you will use. Thanks, Senter! I'm really looking forward to this!

Yes, I'll use DHL Express, not the local DHL tho. Hongkong DHL is cheaper than in mainland China. All the packages will be shipped to a Hongkong DHL proxy. Then the proxy will distribute the packages to every country.

the less open space in plates the better tbh

the more open space there is in the bottom row, the more prone plate mount switches will be to twisting, which is more annoying than thinking for 45 seconds about what layout you're gonna build your board in

What I'm saying is that a tweaked version of this plate could've been offered... Delete ISO and make sure it has 2u/split bs and normal/stepped caps. Even if the squares are open behind the corner/wkl blockers, it will still look fine (like Singa). No need for all these other VERY specific plates.

EDIT: After reading again, I'm assuming these are for the leaf shape accessory/logo on the bottom?

EDIT2: If you can get the whole weight in clear PC, do you have a render or photo of a completely clear PC build? (case, plate, weight, leaf accessory). Just trying to imagine what it would look like.

The brass weight on the other hand....
Title: Re: [GB] Fox Lab - Leaf 60
Post by: Vigrith on Fri, 18 January 2019, 12:15:45
For what it's worth, here's my take on the plate and weight pricing - I don't feel $50~ extra for a PVD brass plate upgrade is too out of the ordinary, considering there are several options being offered rather than just the one plate for every layout (as is with most TKLs or 65%, etc) I can understand that the cost may be justifiable and I have seen similar situations with other very successful GBs.

That said, at just like 7-10 bucks extra for the plate and weight respectively to just get an extra on top of your already included versions, that's a disproportionately attractive deal in my opinion. If the prices remain as is, there's no real reason to flat out replace your standard options, rather just get a set of extras for like $15 together with an extra PCB if you're worried about it being proprietary and not being readily available if something does happen to your other one.

PS: the weight is expensive either way you go about it however, but without knowing how the machining etc works I'd rather not comment/complain.
Title: Re: [GB] Fox Lab - Leaf 60

The machining on the weight is happening whether it's brass or aluminum. That being said, I would say that the size and complexity does justify a little price increase. If you look at it from a "credit" stand point, though, you're hardly getting anything back for omitting the base aluminum during the upgrade. The plate is a different story. There isn't anything special about it to garner that high of an upgrade cost. It's very obvious that higher margins are being made on the upgrades and it's trying to motivate us (the customer) to by extras instead. I've already placed my order with both upgrades, but I'm definitely going to to be down grading, because I don't see the value of the current cost/brass ratio.
For what it's worth, here's my take on the plate and weight pricing - I don't feel $50~ extra for a PVD brass plate upgrade is too out of the ordinary, considering there are several options being offered rather than just the one plate for every layout (as is with most TKLs or 65%, etc) I can understand that the cost may be justifiable and I have seen similar situations with other very successful GBs.

That said, at just like 7-10 bucks extra for the plate and weight respectively to just get an extra on top of your already included versions, that's a disproportionately attractive deal in my opinion. If the prices remain as is, there's no real reason to flat out replace your standard options, rather just get a set of extras for like $15 together with an extra PCB if you're worried about it being proprietary and not being readily available if something does happen to your other one.

PS: the weight is expensive either way you go about it however, but without knowing how the machining etc works I'd rather not comment/complain.

Just out of curiosity, can the hotswap pcb be tweaked in a way to fit 2u backspace (via desoldering), or are the switch holes completely fixed in the specified pattern in the image? Sorry not very familiar with hotswap pcbs at all.

Are all those options supposed to be there for the weight? I'm having a hard time imagining a clear PC weight.

EDIT: After reading again, I'm assuming these are for the leaf shape accessory/logo on the bottom?

EDIT2: If you can get the whole weight in clear PC, do you have a render or photo of a completely clear PC build? (case, plate, weight, leaf accessory). Just trying to imagine what it would look like.

Yes. We call it weight but it's basically not. I know it's a little bit confusing. You got the idea.
I don't have a full clear PC build. I have a full opaque white PC prototype tho. My suggestion is to match the brass weight with the PC case unless you want a travel board.

A response to the brass weight/plate upgrade prices:

Several ppl pointed out the price for upgrading alu to brass is expensive. The price for extra brass parts is much more reasonable.
That's true. Now let me explain why.
You know we're offering tons of options to customize. 3 top layouts, 5 plate layouts, 3 materials, 5 finishes.
For several combinations, there might be just several boards will be made.
On the other side, you may have heard some big factories are not willing to accept small orders.
Our order is the worst kind that the factory wants to accept.
Maintaining a good relationship with the engineers and making them cooperative is the most important thing to make the GB smooth.
So when we order the boards, we get quotes for all aluminum kits + extra parts.
That means no matter you buy the aluminum plate or not, the plate will be made, and they cost money.
This is not the single case for Leaf 60. It's the same for all the previous Fox Lab GBs. After every GB we will have many leftover plates/weights.
That's a part of the reason that we can run smooth GBs. The downside is the price for upgrading is expensive.

So if we buy the base option just to secure a board during the preorder, we can always go back (within a reasonable amount of time) after the GB and buy the upgrades?

Every keyboard GB I’ve been a part of requires PP sales on the buyer so I don’t think it’s weird. Feels more intimate :)

It's not standard for custom keyboard GBs.
The PP fee is the cost that the buyers will pay anyhow.
It's just a matter how I declare the price. In the IC post I said $275 excluding PP fee or $290 with fee included to clarify.
Does it really matter for the buyers?
Sure I can mark the price as $290. However, in that case, some people don't even read and think it's without PP fee included.
As most GB runners still declare prices excluding PP fee. I just follow.

This is not the single case for Leaf 60. It's the same for all the previous Fox Lab GBs. After every GB we will have many leftover plates/weights.

The way you described it, it seems like the "extra" stock has already been paid for by the participants, but since they paid for an "upgrade," they don't get the initial aluminum plate they paid for? Shouldn't they get both in that case?

There's margin in all these things, but see it more as he's paying for the plates out of his pocket until someone buys them.

You can get both if you want to pay a little bit more. The price difference between upgrade and extra is not large.
There are people only want to use brass plates. They can save several bucks if they upgrade.
I'm being as transparent as I can. You can decide which option is best for you.

      Note that if you currently use a HHKB you will be used to split backspace, which the board in that photo lacks. You can still achieve this with the universal PCB and plate, but you could substitute the PCB and/or the plate for their HHKB-specific counterparts.

      What do I have to order to build the HHKB in the first photo?  I use a HHKB2 and this looks like an awesome board to be it's companion.

      Clear PC Case (HHKB layout)
      PVD Brass Plate (Universal layout)
      Universal PCB
      PVD Brass Weight
      (+ GMK Serika keyset from somewhere else!)

      Note that if you currently use a HHKB you will be used to split backspace, which the board in that photo lacks. You can still achieve this with the universal PCB and plate, but you could substitute the PCB and/or the plate for their HHKB-specific counterparts. The HHKB PCB is hotswap let, and the HHKB plate would mean the plate wouldn't have a hole where the corner blockers are.

      Thanks for you help. I ordered the Clear PC case, brass hhkb plate and brass weight, HHKB PCB (hot swappable). 

      Am I correct in thinking that as it's hot swappable no soldering will be required during assembly?

      Yeah, you shouldn't have to solder switches in if it's hot swap.

      hi! bit new to the whole world of "custom and plates"

      I'm looking to order a "future" proof design which involves  compatibility with aftermarket pcbs.

      I'm leaning towards the WKL plate version of the board but will aftermarkets be fine with it, or should I just go with the MX-universal plate for aftermarket pcbs :O

      I just watched the recording until finish. Seems like there were three issues when Nathan was building the board.

      1. Enter key is a little higher.
      2. Several alpha keys are not aligned.
      3. Left and right Shift keys are a little lower.

      For 1, the issue is gone after Nathan soldered the switch.
      For 2 and 3, I guess some keys were not pressed down completely. Pressing the key while soldering them should fix the problem. That was a custom plate but I didn't find any problems with the plate file.

      update: Saru confirmed what I said.

      I also want to make sure this is true before I purchase. I would love to get the HHKB top version of the Leaf60 and have an Alps HHKB build!  My understanding is to order the HHKB top version, alps plate, and alps pcb and I would be all good. Apologies if this is obvious but I am a little confused.

      Your understanding is correct.

      Thank you for letting me know! One last question, I do not see split right shift or the split backspace as an option on the alps pcb and plate. Does this mean that you can have an Alps HHKB build for everything but the split right shift and split backspace or is there a way I am not seeing?

      Thank you sir. I guess I will just have to get used to the split backspace as the clear PC casing is irresistable. And come to think of it, I already have Koyu on the way so I would have to get used to split backspace anyway.

      For what it’s worth, i just got a 60% w/ split backspace after using mostly 75% and TKL boards, the switch took about half an hour to get use to, and it feels so much more comfortable to use

      You can write a note in the last question in the form. I thought no one wants extra weights.

      The potential of building a lightweight -- if that's your thing -- full-polycarbonate keyboard is very interesting. The side curves are beautiful and indeed leaf-like.

      The hotswap PCB is said to be for HHKB/WKL but the picture of the layout shows winkey on it. Does this mean that it can be used for regular layout as well?
      Since the combination I want is [clear PC housing + hotswap PCB + bronze PVD plate + plate holes not showing through the clear PC housing], I guess the only choice I have is to go with regular layout, so I do hope the regular layout is possible for hotswap PCB

      The WKL pcb / plate bottom row layout is 1.5, 1, 1.5, 7, 1.5, 1, 1.5.

      Some folks don't like the 1u keys and want case blockers there, thus the WKL case option (blockers). 

      Some people don't like the 1.5u outside keys and want case blockers there, thus the hhkb case.

      Your choice would use all three 1.5, 1, 1.5 keys (because you don't want to see the holes in the plate through the WKL case block outs).

      Your choice would use all three 1.5, 1, 1.5 keys (because you don't want to see the holes in the plate through the WKL case block outs).

      Thank you very much. I think that clarifies everything and that what I plan to build is possible.
      I guess I will pull the trigger with Regluar Layout case + hotswap PCB + Bronze WKL plate.

      Sorry for keep asking questions. Should've asked with my previous reply but I got confused again while selecting options in the google form.
      The hotswap PCB is said to be for HHKB/WKL but the picture of the layout shows winkey on it. Does this mean that it can be used for regular layout as well?
      Since the combination I want is [clear PC housing + hotswap PCB + bronze PVD plate + plate holes not showing through the clear PC housing], I guess the only choice I have is to go with regular layout, so I do hope the regular layout is possible for hotswap PCB

      The only plate that does not have the winkey cutout is a special one senter added in either black or clear PC.

      Hotswap pcb has only a split backspace, so it is not regular layout.

      Thank you again sir. However, what I was asking was about was the case layout which I am supposed to choose between Regular layout, WKL layout or HHKB layout in the google form.
      I am curious if I choose Regluar Layout for the case, a hotswappable PCB and Bronze WKL plate, I will be able to build a board with a full bottom row so that there won't be any plate holes showing through the pc case.

      OK, yes. I see.

      The WKL pcb / plate bottom row layout is 1.5, 1, 1.5, 7, 1.5, 1, 1.5.

      Some folks don't like the 1u keys and want case blockers there, thus the WKL case option (blockers).

      I guess I will pull the trigger with Regluar Layout case + hotswap PCB + Bronze WKL plate.

      Assuming you mean bronze = rose gold, that colour is only for the full brass version unfortunately. PVD brass plates with pc/aluminum housings will be gold coloured.

      Just to verify:

      If I were to order what's below, that means I'd get to have 3 plate + PCB combos (2 MX and 1 Alps)?

      Regular kits: $275 (PC plate, PC weight, Hotswap PCB)
      Extra sandblasted brass weight: $56
      Extra sandblasted brass plate: $45 (WKL)
      Extra aluminum/PC plate: $25 (Alps)
      Extra PCB: $37 (Hotswap)
      Extra PCB: $37 (Universal, for Alps)

      Are Alps plates alu exclusively?
      Is it possible to get a WKL plate that doesn't have the 1u holes on the bottom row? (especially for brass so that I don't see the holes through the clear PC blockers)
      Is the WKL PC plate layout different from the WKL brass plate's layout?
      Also, am I understanding correctly that the option to add extra brass plate/weight is really cheap compared to just upgrading? And how would I go about getting an extra brass weight (assuming I got the regular PC weight with the regular kit)? I ask because I don't see an option on the ordering form.

      Thanks!

      You probably want the WKL plate option and then you have to decide if you want the mx/alps pcb or a hotswappable mx plate. either would do for your split backspace.

      someone correct me if i'm wrong

      Don't forget the brass weight will add a fair amount of weight to the whole unitso I would be thinking more along the lines of 2/3rds. I have a PC Kira60 and it still weighs around 1.5kg

      Are all those options supposed to be there for the weight? I'm having a hard time imagining a clear PC weight.

      EDIT: After reading again, I'm assuming these are for the leaf shape accessory/logo on the bottom?

      EDIT2: If you can get the whole weight in clear PC, do you have a render or photo of a completely clear PC build? (case, plate, weight, leaf accessory). Just trying to imagine what it would look like.

      Yes. We call it weight but it's basically not. I know it's a little bit confusing. You got the idea.
      I don't have a full clear PC build. I have a full opaque white PC prototype tho. My suggestion is to match the brass weight with the PC case unless you want a travel board.
      Can you elaborate on what you mean with "unless you want a travel case"? Are there any benefits from choosing a non PC weight for traveling?

      Definitely getting a PC and brass kit.

      Two questions,

      1. can I use the universal pcb and plate with the HHKB top?
      2. Could a “standard” 60% pcb and plate be fitted to the case? Asking mainly for the Boardwalk PCB


      1. Yes
      2. No

      Thanks for the response!  For 1, I would need to use the HHKB bottom row right? I wouldn’t be able to get a HHKB case with split spacebar support. Just want to confirm. Thank you!

      Hope this is helpful for buyers and other GB runners.

      I'm surprised half of the buyers chose clear PC.

      That’s becsuse the pics of the clear PC hhkb on the OP look epic.

      I am concerned how mine is going to age though.

      DePulse, I didn't receive your message. Could you send it again?

      It's so weird. It's the 3rd time people saying they sent me messages while I didn't. Is it normal on GH?


      Ohh man. I'm not sure tho. But if you do have a discord, we can talk there just in case you still haven't received my message yet. I'll try again right now.

      The invoices will pop up on your paypal accounts. Paypal should then notify you via mail, unless you have disabled that.

      Sending out invoices is likely a manual process, so allow for some time for Senter to get around to do that.

      So I’ve never built a custom board before. I really like the opaque case. What all do I need to order if I want a standard 60% layout with hot-swap switches? Are all hot-swap switches compatible with the board or do I need specific ones?

      You’ll need stabilizers. A standard 60% kit will do.
      Switches. Probably get 70. I’d assume PCB mount switches and worst case you can cutoff the two plastic pins on the bottom.
      Keycaps.

      Looking at the post, the plate does not support switch top removal.

      Disadvantage are aesthetics and some would argue switch stability but I have never experienced any issues.

      Only the WKL or HHKB layout support hotswap so I actually need to correct myself by saying you’ll need a 7u spacebar stabilizer. Most 60% layouts use 6.25u but if you’re going with the hotswap you’ll need the longer. But yes, otherwise, you can choose polycarbonate for the case, plate, and weight. You’ll need to choose the hhkb or wkl plate depending on which case you decide on.

      The Hotswap PCB layout looks like it can support a standard layout w/ the exception of a 7u spacebar though. Doesn’t need to omit two bottom row keys like WKL or HHKB layout does

      That’s correct. I initially misspoke on the spacebar stabilizer. But yeah, you can still do the full layout. Just be mindful of the unit sizes for the bottom row modifiers.

      Sorry for the dumb question, but what is the point of the HHKB plate if the universal plate will work with the HHKB case? I am wondering which plate to get if I just want an HHKB style, NON hot swappable board.

      If it matters, I would get PC everything to make it a travel board.

      Thanks!

      I was wondering the same thing, and I imagine it's because a fixed layout plate is a bit sturdier than the universal plate, with the way the holes hold the switches.  Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, though.

      I just realized it's probably so you don't see the switch cutouts if you get the PC case... someone can confirm, but that seems to be it. Your reason sounds right too.

      It would be helpful to define what you consider a "standard" layout and caps to be first :)

      Case and plate layouts are chosen independently, you could get a HHKB plate for a regular layout case if you're a madman.

      Standard plate will not have the HHKB blockers. If you want the typical pok3r style layout your only option is the standard plate.

      It won't move around unless your desktop is very slippery.

      Is the weight shown in the first picture on the GB a PVD Brass weight or is it a PVD Brass weight with gold finish?

      Sure there is. That first photo is pvd coated gold finish. Pvd coated brass on its own just protects it from tarnishing. I opted for an unfinished one personally.

      Is there a big difference in looks? What does PVD Brass look like compared to with a gold finish?

      Natural brass is not as vibrant as a gold finish. Pvd coating has some flexibility in colors, hence the solver and rose gold finishes available on the full brass kits.

      I see. If I had got the HHKB layout would a standard set work or would I have to look for different sets as well? I was hoping to use my /dev/tty set on this board but I did not order the WKL options at the time, I only have a Novetouch right now.

      You need to make sure you have bottom row keys that fulfill the required HHKB bottom row layout, which is
      1u - 1.5u - 7u - 1.5u - 1u

      Gotcha. I didn't actually get the HHKB layout I was just curious if it had the same requirements. I guess I will need to decide on a new set of caps for this board too.

      Topre boards are tactile, so I would recommend trying out some nice tactile switches. Personally I love zeal v2s and Holy Pandas (will probably be easy to find some once they ship from Massdrop). As far as stabs go, GMK screw in stabs are usually the best bang for your buck. Other people swear by zeal stabs, but they are quite a bit pricier. Just MAKE SURE YOU LUBE THEM. There are plenty of stab lubing guides out there, but it will give your board a much better feel.

      If it doesn't have the pin holes you can just clip off the legs on the PCB mount switches and they'll work! I wouldn't worry too much about switch compatibility, as long as they're MX-style switches

      But the Leaf60 is only 5 rows. How would a 5 row numpad look small?  I think 5 row is the way to go. That 6th row is always a challenge to fill with relevant caps.

      Anyone know if these issues were raised in the IC and addressed by Senter?

      I would expect those kinds of problems with a polycarbonate case. Discontinuity can only *REALLY* be sorted out if you machine it all from the same block (unibody) or take EXTREME care in manufacture of the separate parts. Warping, visual differences between units (and same-unit parts), finish differences, etc. are all side-effects of using a less stalwart material than the common metals we see.

      All reasons I won't buy PC multi-part cases. A polycarb Tofu or Klippe? Sure. Not for builds like this, though. Not yet.

      He probably got a bit frustrated with the dry spell we had there for a while. Took a bit before there was something new I wanted to buy into. The Grid 600 broke that spell for me.

      I read this as there will be extra Aluminum parts.

      So if we buy the base option just to secure a board during the preorder, we can always go back (within a reasonable amount of time) after the GB and buy the upgrades?


      Yes, there will be leftover parts for sure.

      Senter,

      Hey, I was curious about the extra parts you had mentioned above. Would you happen to have any extra hotswap PCBs that would work with my HHKB layout? If so I would like to know if I could add one to my order if we can do that.

      Thanks!

      Can anyone who ordered the hotswap plate help me out. I am trying to find a set of caps to go with this board but it seems like this layout is going to be a hard one to find something compatible. I am interested in getting this kit to match the /dev/tty set I have on my Novatouch but it doesn't seem like it has the keys needed to fit that layout. If I went with the standard non-hotswap plate/PCB would it just fit a normal set of keys like I've highlighted in the image below?

      Yup, what you have highlighted is a standard ANSI layout and you would be able to use that layout with the universal plate and normal PCB

      Current progress:

      • CNC: Top cases and plates are all finished. Bottom cases and weights are still under manufacturing. All parts should be finished by the end of this month or early April.
      • Finishes (sandblasting, E-coating, anodizing, PVD, MAO): will start after CNC are finished. The finishes will be applied in 4 different factories in parallel.
      • PCB: PCBs were a little delayed because I was considering to change the material to black core FR4 which is popular. I decide not to finally in case it will bottleneck the whole process.

      Right now everything is going smoothly as expected. QC may take longer time than before as we get more orders this time. We won't rush it tho. The original ETA still looks good to me atm.

      Current progress:

      • CNC: Top cases and plates are all finished. Bottom cases and weights are still under manufacturing. All parts should be finished by the end of this month or early April.
      • Finishes (sandblasting, E-coating, anodizing, PVD, MAO): will start after CNC are finished. The finishes will be applied in 4 different factories in parallel.
      • PCB: PCBs were a little delayed because I was considering to change the material to black core FR4 which is popular. I decide not to finally in case it will bottleneck the whole process.

      Right now everything is going smoothly as expected. QC may take longer time than before as we get more orders this time. We won't rush it tho. The original ETA still looks good to me atm.
      Sounds good, thanks for the update!

      From what I remember it will be black PCB.

      I hope we can order extra parts before the shipping of the kit to make it 1 shipping fee only.

      I've got faith in senter, but practically speaking, it's not helpful to speculate on when he will update us or what the status is. 

      There are tons of other GB's where previous manu's / runners all of a sudden produced terrible products...

      We will get updates when we get updates.  :p

      I’m thinking Aramex just has cheaper rates. Senter is using DHL Express which is probably the fastest and one of the most expensive couriers?

      You'll want to sign up here: https://delivery.dhl.com

      That should show you the deliveries that are in their system to your address. It also let's you manage the delivery

      Hi.

      I got the keyboard well.

      But I don't know how to do keymaps.

      Please let me know which one to choose from in QMK.

      It depends on the layout you want to build. Your spacebar will likely need either a 6.25U or 7U stab depending on which bottom row you choose to build.

      You will need up to 4 2U stabs, one for each key you have that is 2U or above. For a completely standard ANSI layout, you would need 1 6.25U and 4 2U stabs (left shift, right shift, enter and backspace). But if you split right shift, or split backspace, that would eliminate the need for a stab.

      If you're still unsure post the layout you are aiming for and we will help you out

      Don't worry if you haven't received the text message from DHL. There were around 180 packages in total so the proxy cannot ship them out in a single batch. They will send them out in two days.

      I've uploaded the code/firmware to my own repo (https://github.com/fox-lab/qmk_firmware/tree/master/keyboards/foxlab). I want to merge it to the main repo but I'm not very familiar with Github. Specifically, I don't know how to do it without fetching the lasted codes from the upstream. I'm super busy in recent days. I'll figure it out later when I'm available. For now please just use the codes in my own repo first.

      Go to the main repo on GitHub and click the "New pull request" button next to the branch selection drop down. Choose your fork of the repo on the right then choose the branch you want. If you choose master then you'll merge in the commit you have for the UniGo66, XD60v3, TR60w, as well as the one for Leaf60.

      Starting my alps build, it seems the the pins on alps switches are too long and touch the bottom of the case (removing the flex created by the plate). I will probably clip the legs.
      There's not much room to add dampening material in the Leaf boards.

      Honestly I’m not sure if some are worse. Throughout the board I feel like there are at least 10-20 so I’m just going to clip them all while I’m at it.

      Interesting...

      Gonna throw some SKCM Browns on a PC plate. An alps endgame. But haven't desoldered them yet...

      Typically trimming a little won't hurt them, unless you are gonna desolder and resell or something. (Even then I don't think anyone will care: they still work. )

      I had issues with the screws on my e-coating board as well, but with a bit of force they went in and from then on moved far easier.

      I guess the scew holes weren't tapped quite enough, but the screws widened them.

      I had the exact same problem. My corners didn't go in and there are gaps there. I actually screwed one in and then the threads completely disintegrated and now the screw just spins freely. I don't think the holes were tapped correctly. I am going to attempt to retap them sometime this week. Hopefully, that fixes it.

      I don't think it makes a difference since the board is still screwed together but I'd definitely prefer they were recessed or at least flush.

      Yea, I sent a message to senter, he said this is from the residue from the e coating, the front corners are particularly bad, as that is the anodize hook area.

      I'm actually thinking some wd40 will fix it up, as it's a solvent that will loosen debris. Screwing / unscrewing a screw by itself a few times did loosen some debris.

      Confirmed, wd40 fixed most of mine.

      First, I scraped a bit out with a needle.

      Then I made a little pool of wd40 in a dish dripped the screw tip in, and then put it in the hole, tightened until it stopped, then loosened and retightened, a few times, took out the screw, wiped off the black residue, dipped and repeated a few times.

      I stripped a screw hole, and overtightened another one (so I have a little bump on top of my case). :/

      Yea. My pc board is totally fine (though the top is slightly warped, it screws in flush), and I expect the alu boards are too.

      E coating adds thickness (iirc), and gets everywhere apparently. Putting teasers into the screw hole sounded like I was hitting a little sand...

      Yea. My pc board is totally fine (though the top is slightly warped, it screws in flush), and I expect the alu boards are too.

      E coating adds thickness (iirc), and gets everywhere apparently. Putting teasers into the screw hole sounded like I was hitting a little sand...

      hey, i still haven't built mine and i have a question. There are 5 rubber gasket in the package, did you use just 4 of them or 2 of them?

      Use 4 of them

      so i cracked a screw trying to get the last edge tight. now part of the screw is stuck. how do i get that out? drill it out? what drill do i need?

      Aside from that it feels fantastic. I have lubed silenced switches in, typing on it feels like whispering!

      just built my e-white today. Overall feels really great to type on (using it for this reply). But the screws problems that was previously described is pretty prevalent, and one of the screws has been stripped so my screwdriver just turns freely when i try to remove the screw. This also means one side of the seam joining the top and bottom is slight lifted. Overall not a bad board at all, but certain aspects of the attention to detail leaves a little bit to be desired imo.

      As it appears from past pages, most (all?) people didn't get a shipping notification, they just got a text from DHL when it's basically ready for delivery. Some didn't even get that, it just showed up.

      Hoping I don’t run into any screw issues, but the machining is noticeably not on point. As someone who upgraded the plate/weight (insanely expensive upgrades making this a very not budget board), I was hoping for a little better quality.

      I did have issues with the screw holes but patiently working the screw back and forth and using a brush cleared them up enough. Other than that and incorrect layout flashed, everything is great!

      4. Two top and two bottom. Sandwich the plate between 2 gaskets in the front and back (top and bottom of case).

      The best solution will likely be to use a very very very small drill bit and drill into the top of the screw. once the bit becomes engraved into the screw, try to back it out using reversing and a small amount of force. this is basically how you would do it on a car.

      Just a heads up, if you see a white sticker with an arrow on your PCB it probably means you need to solder the part it’s pointing at. One of my resistors was only soldered on one half and so the switch wasn’t working. I soldered the other half and all is well again! Don’t know if this just wasn’t caught or if I was expected to fix it myself.

      Yup, mine was like this as well. The "sys" key is your Fn and the blank one hasn't been programmed in by default i think. Once I had it programmed in it worked fine. Gave me one heck of a scare though.

      Built my polycarbonate leaf 60 today with lubed and stickered linjars, brass plate, and GMK 9009.

      Overall it's a really nice board and I'm satisfied with all the components.
      This is my first linear build I'm not sure if I can really notice any distinction major distinction from the gasket mount.
      The brass plate sounds very nice I'll upload a typing test at some point.

      The bottom of the board does have some machine or scratching marks. I don't really mind that much.

      Overall it's a really nice board and I'm satisfied with all the components.
      This is my first linear build I'm not sure if I can really notice any distinction major distinction from the gasket mount.
      The brass plate sounds very nice I'll upload a typing test at some point.

      The bottom of the board does have some machine or scratching marks. I don't really mind that much.

      I am getting a Leaf60 with the WKL hot swap PCB but was interested in a full layout. I also have the PVD Brass and PC plate for that layout that I would like to trade as well. Would anyone be down for a straight trade? Thanks!

      I was just talking to someone about that. It is my first gasket mount and I can not really tell a difference. I have the PC plate and there is little to no flex.

      Lots of folks talk about gasket mounting normally helping with sound, more than anything, with harder gasket material. Two things I can say 1)sound is very nice (in a different way than I’m used to for brass) 2) for being sandwich mount, it doesn’t feel “lifeless” (like sandwich normally feels like) to me.

      Just finished building mine! Here is my Leaf 60 in E-Black with a black PC plate. Switches are Gateron Linjars, lubed with Tribosys 3204, and stabs are Zeal's (also lubed). Will probably take better pics at some point, but it was an interesting process (finally learned QMK and made the layout to be like an actual HHKB's).

      Some quick snaps below (sry4dust and poor lighting):

      Would love to hear some typing sounds of the Linjars, don't seem to see a lot of them around

      Some of my experiences:
      • Had to cut the strip where the usb inserts as other users have mentioned
      • Found it easier to push the screws through the holes before putting the top cover on, made it easier to screw them on
      • Seems like the board catches a lot of fingerprints unfortunately, probably my least favorite part about it

      I think your response was in the quotes, but so far my experience with these Linjars are decent. They do sound and feel nice! Not as smooth as Tealios V2, and maybe it's just the plate material, but I think I prefer the sound of Tealios. I guess I can swap some Tealios in and compare sometime. Honestly, I think I'd probably enjoy them better had I gotten a brass plate as that's my favorite plate material, and I really should've since I got a hotswap PCB.

      Will there be any extra plates (brass, specifically) available in the future? I know there was a post about PCB on IC.

      Oh interesting. I was supposed to get an MX PC plate but I got an extra Alps PC plate instead. I was hoping to see the difference between PC and brass.

      If you press down on the alpha keys with some pressure does the plate flex at all?

      When program it, you can set one key on a separate layer to be the reset button.

      Well I was going to say the reset is Fn+Esc but I think the default Fn key is where RWin should be and you're on a winkeyless build... At least it was for me on the hotswap PCB. Not sure if there's another Fn key mapped somewhere.

      Try R. Alt + Esc.

      Just by looking at it they appeared to be two pin SMD LEDs. One color.

      Afaik that only works because the default key map has a reset key on layer 1. The key map I flashed doesn’t have that unfortunately.

      There are no physical reset buttons on the PCB but you can contact the RE pin with the GND on the PCB. There are two RE pins near the MCU. Either one should work.

      These are the pins that you can jump to reset the board.

      The far right RE (both pins) and the G on the VOG. Use tweezers or paper clips. When it is plugged into QMK, jump before you flash and it should work.

      I guess the screws were not tightened enough due to the e-coating in the screw holes. It was a common issue with e-coating. You can remove the coating with an angle tip tweezer (https://www.amazon.com/Best-Tweezers-Eyelash-Extension-Professional/dp/B0716XZFJX/ref=zg_bs_3779181_18?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=KBYHJXHG5G8GGCS2HF9R) then try to tighten the screws again.

      I noticed this issue as early as in the Leaf 80 GB. In this GB, some of the screw holes were blocked before E-coating. Some are not for various reasons. Now as we've learned how to do it, all the screw holes in future E-coating cases will be blocked properly. I'm sorry for the additional confusions and the troubles you got in this GB.

      I was able to solder WS1812 strips to the back of the PCB. Connect the 5v wire to the V pin on the PCB, Data to O, and Ground to G. It's an "open circuit", the arrows should be pointing away, and you don't need to 'close' the circuit by adding more wires.

      However, there isn't enough space for the LEDs in the case so you may have to sand the bottom case.

      Has anyone found the same sized bumpons but clear online anywhere?

      Ever so slightly smaller, but I think it looks way better than black.

      Loving this board! It's my first gasket mount - which certainly gives it a nice feel.

      I finished building a while ago but finally got around to sorting out the pictures.

      By default mine was toggled with "fn + Q". Brightness lowered with "fn + W". Brightness increased with "fn + E", or if you are setting it up in QMK use: BL_TOGG, BL_DEC, BL_INC in your keymap.

      @cepate11 the defaults aren't included in QMK Configurator but they are included in QMK Firmware. With fast input mode, you can actually build the default in about 45-60 seconds on the QMK Configurator.

      has anyone tried to add underglow strips?

      Also looking for this answer, I want to add unnecessary RGB to all my stuff plz
      I was able to solder WS1812 strips to the back of the PCB. Connect the 5v wire to the V pin on the PCB, Data to O, and Ground to G. It's an "open circuit", the arrows should be pointing away, and you don't need to 'close' the circuit by adding more wires.

      However, there isn't enough space for the LEDs in the case so you may have to sand the bottom case.

      Do you have any pictures of your set up? And are you saying that if you were to add individual rgb lights to the back or a stand-alone strip there’d be no space within the case? Thanks!

      just wanted to share how I wired up my RGB strips

      https://imgur.com/a/aAavK1d

      5V and GND are parallel between all the LED's, so you can bridge any two respective pads for >1 strip
      Data In is series, so it starts at one end and you must bridge each discontinuity.
      I ordered my strips from keebio, these seem to fit the hotswap pcb just fine. I would suppose the regular pcb has more clearance.
      Also remember to correct the qty of LED's in the config.h file. Hope this helps.

      My E Red plate has similar problem. Turns out you just need to push it through harder and it will work. It's just a very tight fit. What I ended up doing is, try to get the stabs through the hole at an angle, eg try to get the bottom side of the stabs though, then push the top side of the plate with force and get the whole stab through that way.

      I was able to force the stabs through. However, it’s so tight that the stab stems stick and won’t return to full heights after a key press. Luckily I haven’t soldered anything, just tested them out.

      Hmm the stab stems don't touch the plate stab opening though. My plate, despite having tight stab holes, doesn't affect the stab stems at all. Are you sure it's the tight stem opening that causes this?

      I can confirm on my universal brass plate it seemed like it would not fit over the Enter stabilizer, but it just need to be pressed down a little more. It was snug but did not interfere with the operation of the stabilizer at all.

      The size is okay, but it is upside down than usual 60% PCB. So be careful if you're using other PCBs

      No I’m certain it’s Cerakote because I had it applied. Originally it was anodized yellow but there were some very visible flaws. I took it to a shop and had it applied

      Oh rofl I hadn't seen it was your board, the colour was super similar to the one shown a few pages back so I just figured it was that board (or another sample).

      Well, in the event that you find someone the color I used is Corvette Yellow:

      Pretty sure the issue here is the USB port placement/seating. I find that my cable doesn't really plug in all the way, so it can wiggle and disconnect as a result.

      Soldered my Universal PCB with an ANSI layout. Afterwards, I tested it and all keys registered. However, once I flashed my own hex to it, backspace stopped registering. I tried a different hex and it still didn't register a stroke. I used the QMK configurator. Any help would be appreciated.

      So I don't know if anyone else would be interested in this, but on a whim I decided to dremel off the screw holes on the plate and I noticed a surprising improvement in the sound of the board. I did also move from 3203 to 3204, but I doubt that accounts for the full difference. Might be worth considering!

      I have a unbuild yellow ano kit which I'm selling. Selling from the EU, so payed taxes, might be too expensive if you are US bases. PM me if interested.
      I will post it on mechmarket on the weekend, so you can also check there.
      Which layout?

      Hotswap PCB was definitely an afterthought with this board, IMO. The hotswap sockets are practically (or even literally) touching the bottom case when assembled, essentially making the sandwiched gasket plate assembly pointless -- it is typing directly into the bottom of the case.

      Kinda, yeah. Also for full PC versions (both case and plate are PC) swapping switches without full disassembly is a nearly impossible feat. And given the issues with screw holes and threading it’s really scary.

      Does anybody know whether any vendors sell solderable PCBs that are compatible with Leaf60?

      Does anyone have a Leaf 60 solderable PCB for sale? I bought mine used and it came with broken diodes. Thanks :)

      Don’t think so. Unless you buy another Leaf60 which happens to have a solderable PCB with it. There was a different “compatible” PCB on mechmarket but that one requires filing the plate because of a flipped enter stabilizer on that PCB.

      I’ve being trying to reach out to [mention]senter [/mention]for a while now but I get no answer no matter what I do.

      I do hope that there will be a reproduction round for Leaf60 PCBs in the future though.

      I'm also very interested in joining a round 2 release of this.

      Anyone know the exact plate dimensions? The plate file is not scaled correctly.

      The HHKB plate file I have measures:

      290.699mm length in the horizontal
      104.199mm height in the vertical

      (With a 14mmx14mm switch cutout)

      You will get the correct dimensions if setting 1 unit = 1mm when opening the plate file.
