Would it be possible to change the desired color choice before or after the invoice? I selected Grey, but after some thought I would like to change to the Navy. :)

Invoices are out! Please pay asap so I can start talking to the manufacturer. If you want a colour change, email or pm me on discord using the details in your invoice.

Here's a pie chart of the colour popularity, so if you wanted something a bit more unique then maybe silver is the way to go. Personally, I'm going for navy.

Once I have everything in stock, I'm likely to put them in a store front over at dailyclack.com. At least that's the plan, but stay on this thread to make sure you're in the loop.

Hi all. Just wanted to give a quick update.

The packaging is underway. I've got foam samplee coming in to test fit, which means that your aegis will be safe when being transported.

Pcb have been finalised and ordered, and this should arrive in a month. I'll be sure to take pics when they arrive.

I've has the manufacturer to produce a navy sample. The reason for this is that I wanted to finalise the design and ensure the quality and perfect fit. They have sent me pictures and it looks real nice. But they have requested me Not to run navy, as their anno shop said it was too hard to achieve the quality I want (just as well as I wanted to test navy sample). I've got pictures of the current anno and I agree with them, there are internal splotches and streaking. I've asked for them to try again with another pantone that is close to the original navy colour and see how those colours turn out. It's a big disappointment to not only me, but also the anno shop since the colour chip they provided was perfectly fine. I'll keep you all in the loop as we try to make the navy one work out.
Once I get the sample and everything fits, I'll start the manufacturing of the complete lot and other colours, while we sort out the navy colour problem.

Rama caps should be starting real soon. I've got half black and half navy made, so if you wanted a cap I'll be in touch later for colour choice. I'll be sure to post pics when I get them.

Cable man has my colour chips and will start on cables (except navy as we sort this out)

Sleeve sample is being sown and sent this weekend.

As for timeline, I think we are on track since I did buffer extra time for these problems and grabbing samples. But as things happens and normal gb ways, postage dates may slip a bit.

In any case, please do not let this bum you out, I'll try find a good compromise between us, me and the manufacturers. Enjoy your Christmas/end of year holidays and spend time with your family and forget about the gb. Keep safe.

Ps: the prototype aegis will be at the Sydney meet. I'll probably bring some cherry caps to fit on this so there's pics of cherry aegis floating around online.

Take care and be nice to each other!

Another update for you all:

My concern about the navy colour was not warranted. It seems like the potato pictures didn't do justice to the anno finish. Have a look at my potato pictures instead. From my pixel 2

* photo5220063325998655942.jpg (194.05 kB. 1280x960 - viewed 179 times.)

And a weird flex from me, because it was an epic mail day

* photo5219962604720597485.jpg (203.08 kB. 1280x794 - viewed 167 times.)


So I am pretty happy how the navy turned out. I will meet the rest of the aeboards team and pic it apart for some rigorous QC'ing, but from the surface level, it looks pretty dope.

Once we have the PCBS in, I will test fit, then once we are happy with everything being perfect, we will start manufacturing.

So far, our communication with the manufacturer has been excellent and clear, and it shows in the delivery of this production sample.  It's still in the manufacturing stage and so I hope we keep this relationship in tiptop shape!

This is the last call for colour changes. Please mention if you bought a cable, so I can update the cable guy to do the same colour. LAST CALL!

Have a safe holiday everyone.

PS: I messed up and now you have to click the links. I am sorry. I uploaded some thumbnails at the end.

A few more December updates.

So everything is confirmed with the manufacturer and they should be going into production. Hopefully they will be complete before CNY. Colours are locked in.

I've received the foam sample that will ship with the aegis, and it looks pretty sturdy. I've like to thank kevin from the board podcast for helping me out here.

208978-0
208980-1
208982-2

Here's one with a RAMA WAVES cap in the slot. If you ordered an AE cap, it will come in this slot. If you would like one, mention it when I message you about shipping.
208984-3

The foam boxes are being shipped. The boxes itself is in production, and hopefully I will get a sample image soon.

Oh and also a big shoutout to Wilba for putting the aegis into the VIA configurator. This means you should have a great user experience in programming the board. Thanks a lot!

Have a merry christmas all.

Yeap!
PCBs are done! Boxes are done! They are being shipped as we speak.
Cases and Plates are being manufactured.
There's a few bits and pieces left to buy (screws, bumpons, electrostatic bag).

Not sure yet. Once the boards are out in the wild and opinions are set, we can think about running r2 if the desire is there.
Aegis is almost at a wrap, manufacturing is done and being shipped to me. I've received all the pcbs and packaging materials, and cables. Caps and sleeves should be here in the next week or so. There's still a tonne of work to do of course, QCing the boards, flashing the firmware, packing and invoicing for shipping, and I'm keen to see it all end soon and get these in the hands of our fans who joined us in the gb.

So sad I missed this, I really hope there is a r2. I just realized about 2 days ago this is probably my grail layout. Before I thought a standard 1800 compact would do it but having it southpaw means it's the functional width of a 60% keyboard and that's perfect.

I got plenty! Black and navy. I guess the best way is to put a form up that you can request one with your shipping invoice?

I will sell the excess rama caps when the boards have been shipped out, so gb joiners have priority. There was a limited moq on these and mostly likely won't run the same design again.
