[GB] SHIPPING-The Pawn - 35% keyboard kit with wood case
« on: Tue, 09 August 2016, 20:35:53 »
    After much enthusiasm from quite afew people across several social platforms I am proud to present The Pawn, a 35% keyboard originally designed as a mobile keyboard for use with cellphones/tablets or an ultra portable travel board.

    This is being presented as a KIT however assembly is offered as an additional charge. Shipping ConUS will be included with the price, outside ConUS will be addressed on a case by case basis estimates of around 20$ are presented however that could be +- afew USD$ based on my experience.

    a minimum of 10 is set for this group buy but there will be no upper cap.

Kit includes
  • 37 Gateron switches
  • 1 aluminum plate (5052)
  • 1 wood case (sanded unfinished Oak)
  • 1 set of stabilizers (plate mount clips, wire, key side)(Costar)
  • 40 Diodes (extra included)
  • ribbon cable for wiring
  • Teensy 2.0 controller (NOT programmed unless you select assembled)
  • mounting screws

$120 - kit
+25 for caps
+40 assembly
+20 shipping outside ConUS (shipping subject to change based on location. this is a guideline)



[/list]
***Keycaps are NOT included unless you select the extra option. this layout was designed to work with standard ANSI keyboard key sets. one set of ANSI key caps (104 set) will complete one 35% Pawn keyboard. the profiles will likely not match the rows and there may be gaps in the key. this will be a hacked set made to fit this layout not a custom set designed for it. please keep this in mind when selecting add key caps option.



ok whats in store

144877-0

the Pawn is based on this keyboard with a few slight modifications to better fit standard key sets. this makes finding a complete key cap set much easier to buy. However, this set does not by default come with key caps. A in expensive set has been selected with several color options in the event you want a complete keyboard kit including the caps.

unless indicated you will receive only what is required to complete the kit no additional parts or caps will be included.

below is the layout for this Group buy
144879-1



i will use this thread for the main hub for all of this group buy. if you have any questions please PM me and include "The Pawn" in the subject so i can attempt to keep track of everything.
this will be my first group buy so be gentile.  :cool:

this GB will be open untill Aug 31 2016 some time in the afternoon. i reserve the wright to close this GB early. all payments must be made by 9/10/2016 at 12 midnight.

if i have forgotten anything i apologize i'll try to keep things updated here.


CLOSED

beginning invoicing




because some have asked here is the KLE link so you can play with the layout. the layout in the picture featured on the order form is the only layout included in this kit.

Did the gap in time between when your first prototype pics hit the internet and the group buy thread being approved end up with fewer people signing up than you expected?

Do you have a guess on the timeline for delivery of the kits vs. assembled keyboards?

No the response has been very good. I'm hoping to have some of the parts cut out before the GB ends so a week to 10 days for shipping and packing. Another week for assembly versions. Vendor shipping would push things back. I'm hoping to be alllllll done with shipping by end of month next month as an extreme time frame but shooting for well before then

What is the little 1x1 key in the middle of the spacebar row in the layout? Why is that different from the prototype?

i added this key as i found the keyboard really could use an extra layer key after using the v1 layout for afew weeks. could be use as a super  key or other mod.

I like the case profile a lot - nice to see things non-rectangular. The 1u key in the middle of the space bars would make me homicidal, though.

thanks so much. and yeah i only added it because i feel like it would be useful for more people and functions. as a mobile only keyboard the split space bar does fine. for the GB i'm planning the split with 3 keys for added functionality. however. if you want to commission a one off with out the triple space. please PM me. that goes for anyone else who wants one customized. :)

This is great. I can't wait to see what it looks like after I give the wood a nice coat of finish and stick some DSAs on it!

Had no idea a 35% was possible :o

I guess with layering a 1% would still (theoretically) be possible as a full functioning keyboard

Tomorrow is the last day to sign up for the group buy. i will be invoicing Thursday and Friday (and maybe weekend if i need to)

9/10 will be the cut off for payment unless other arrangements are made.

my intent is to place material orders by 9/12 in order to receive them in a timely manor. if there are any questions please ask them here or PM me.

thanks everyone who has already signed up! super excited about this.

here is a pre production teaser picture of a completed build (please note this is NOT the wood included in the GB)

How many orders did you end up getting?  This seems like an extremely niche sub-group of a relatively niche section of a pretty niche interest.

I did another one for Keyboard & Co but it's tough with sculpted keycaps to make the rows match.

Not sure which will look better in the wood, but this keyboard is going to be massively beautiful and impractical.  I love it.

Last one, I don't have a good render for Chronicler so I'm just using the diagram ... pretty similar to KBD & Co, unsurprisingly.  Sculpted making things very difficult.

So I decided to lacquer everyone's case at no additional cost. This was not originally in the GB terms but it will prevent the boards from becoming discolored by the oils on you hands.

And oak looks really nice lacquered

Shame I missed out on this, lovely concept and the pictures of the lacquered wood look amazing. Definitely would hope a round 2 happens at some point!

so small update. due to the hurricane final assembly and shipment have been pushed back. i'm going to try my best to ship next weekend at the latest. i'm in SC and we are about to get hammered with rain and winds.

i have had several people interested in getting this board outside the GB. on that note i'm very interested in taking commissions on this. but i think i'll do them in more of a one-off sort of stance.

if you want one PM me and we will discuss. price point will likely be the same or close.  :thumb:

sorry again for the delays. i'm a one man shop. but my goal is to ensure everyone's board is super awesome.

Yeah man. Thanks. Things have been crazy. Delays in  shipping happened again this week. I had to order shipping supplies. But good news for everyone is I'm flat rate priority shipping all of them! I'll have them packed and labeled  and in the mail Monday!

I'm gonna have to put garbage caps on it until the Godspeed caps show up...



Which of those do you think will work the best?

By the way, the sculpted profile one is row 1, row 2, row 4, then upside down row 4... I could make it 2, 3, 4 since I can borrow from the other keys that I won't be using.

The fact that I only have 1, 1.75u SA key also makes me sad. It has a bit of curvature to the bottom too. May order a set of blanks to fix that left-most key.

I started playing with keycaps and have 2 problems.

Firstly, I need to pick up some lube for the stabilizers.  If I mount them right now, l the keys click down and stay down. That's easy enough.

Secondly, I was going to try out some different caps combinations and when I go to pull the caps off, the switches are popping up out of the plate. For the edge keys I can get my fingers in and hold it down when popping. The middle keys are kinda impossible.

I'm wondering if there's a tool or method for popping the caps without the switches coming off the plate. 151311-0
