What color was the Rama 65 that was at the Seattle meetup? I couldn't tell if it was grey or silver.
On second thought, I think I'm wrong. This is the album. Hyperfuse rocking silver, Hack'd w/ Space Gray http://m.imgur.com/Bkggap7?rWhat color was the Rama 65 that was at the Seattle meetup? I couldn't tell if it was grey or silver.
I believe that was Space Gray because that's what Jchan wanted for his prototype.

Whew, in!
Does the Canada shipping price get applied even though the option for the reduced price wasn't there for DHL and usps respectively?
Got any bottom pictures of the alum bottom?
Will the anodization be top-notch with no discoloration / shadows?
So is the sandwich case full dead now?
I submitted the form, but forgot to ask if the board has N-key rollover. I'm hoping it does, is there compatibility for it? (or anything higher than 6 pretty much :))
Out of curiosity, should we have gotten an email confirmation after subtmitting the form or something? I'm starting to doubt whether I entered the proper email address.

Retail for it soon :). I want to make some adjustments to it before we push it.
Thanks for joining everyone. We've decided to fulfill this whole lot in order to get everything out of the way well :).
Our current timeline still stands, and we're looking to push it hard. If anything, it will jump up to an additional +2 weeks. Manufacturing time is our biggest hurdle at this moment, but our manufacturers are well equipped and have shown to be one of the best.
Here's a little story. Shortly after seeing the delay of about 2 weeks on the first M65-A, I grew concerned with working with manufacturer #1. We started a conversation with manufacturer #2, and then they turned the prototype around in about 2 weeks or so, and it only arrived about 2-3 days after Manufacturer #1.
Next thing, we've open sourced the PCB, and the plate should be on there soon.
Please check it out here - https://github.com/Keyclack/M65-A .
BTW, thank you for all the birthday wishes:). It was a great time and I went to my favorite fast food place from my childhood. It's called El Pollo Campero. If you didn't know, my family used to live in Guatemala for a while. I used to have El Pollo Campero as a kid, and it's pretty much what made me love fried chicken. I moved to the USA when I was 4 years old, and on occasion, I go back to El Pollo Campero when I can. It's expensive though! $100 for - 30 pieces + 4 sides + 6 drinks. I still urge you to try it.
Lastly, here's a little teaser of the brass designShow Image(http://i.imgur.com/R7yGvNs.jpg)

Is there a way to change my order? If I put in a second order will my first one be replaced?
Does this kit come with authentic PCB mount stabilizers as well? Just wondering since your other kits in
the past have. ;D

I'll talk to GMK about their turnaround for the stabs. If anything, we'll just throw it in the GB for everyone.
The deskmat is almost done ~ if you need a modification, PM me your email that you used for it. Trying to keep modifications to a minimum however. It looks awesome. I'll be getting a few samples made before we go into full production. Production only takes -> 2 weeks to turn around for the mousepads.

Kind of torn with the change of heart from a raffle to everyone gets one. On the one hand I'm happy now me and everyone else that wants one will get one, on the other hand im disappointed since part of the draw for me was the exclusivity of this board
Kind of torn with the change of heart from a raffle to everyone gets one. On the one hand I'm happy now me and everyone else that wants one will get one, on the other hand im disappointed since part of the draw for me was the exclusivity of this board and some of the colors in R1There were 200, and a confirmed R2? If that's exclusive to you, then don't look at other custom keyboards :-[

There really wasn't any exclusivity because an unlimited second round was already confirmed to happen a bit after.
I am genuinely beyond gutted that I can't afford one this round.
Here's to hoping we will see a part 2 in the future. What a fantastic looking product this is, can't wait to see people's photos when these start coming in.
Good luck with the GB all!
Is there maybe a possibility that you can use the refunds from 1965 - that in my case didn't happen yet - to directly subtract them from this buy? So there is no PayPal-fee-rip-off?
Just an idea...
Pardon my ignorance if i've missed it somewhere, but is there a total weight for m65-a nylon base w/ brass weight + brass plate? I'm v. curiosity.https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/5iaxut/photos_m65a_aka_ramabae65_album/db6p0p4/

4lbs 1.8oz, so around 1.8 kg
Don't know if that's still accurate but it's what I could find

Cool, sounds about right.. I'd bet the brass plate option adds another lb or two... Thanks!
Let me know if there are any questions.
Will we get an idea on the deskmat before the form closes? Kind of don't like buying something without knowing what it looks like.
Thanks for letting me resubmit. I'm definitely in. Just debating on getting a deskmat or not.
Also, yes, we removed the 200 cap in order to avoid R2.
Let me know if there are any questions. I realize a lot of people are signing up, and we may turn to -> keyclack.com to organize this a little better.
Hey folks, just made an account, very new here. I absolutely love the look of this keyboard, it is beyond beautiful—it's gorgeous. I'm looking to buy my first MK, which is why I'm here at Geekhack, but I'm totally new to group buys like this. In short, I need some help.
I've purchased from Mass Drop before, but I've read here that the Geekhack group buys are much better (in terms of quality and options). If I want to buy this keyboard, what do I need to do? I looked at the form, but I'll be honest, I didn't understand a lot of the language used there. "Is your body ready?" seems like a metaphysical question lol.
I am a Mac user, and don't have a PC. Would the M65-A work on Mac? (I want to be able to program my board). Before I buy, do I get to choose my switches? (I couldn't see this mentioned anywhere). What's this business about weight? Are all prices in USD?
Sorry for all the Noob questions folks. I just don't want to make a rash decision based on some pretty pictures (they are extremely pretty).
Cheers!

Hey there, welcome! Will try and answer a few questions.. might not cover them all..
Indeed it is a beautiful keyboard! You can use it on mac, im not sure about the programming part, someone else with more knowledge might be able to help in that respect. Shouldn't be any reason you couldn't use it with a mac though!
The form has some unique questions, which are just JChans coolness showing through his questionnaire. There has been a TON of hype around the board, so he's just checking to make sure we can handle the awesomeness... Good guy Jchan.
As for the group buy experience, there is always a risk of delays, however i have had nothing but good experiences thus far with Jchan/keyclack. He works hard to get things out on time, seems like the manufacturer for this is on-point as well..
Prices are in USD, weight is listed because this is a hefty keyboard. Most higher-end boards use denser materials (brass) to add some weight to the board, this board in particular has a brass weight on the bottom, and option of a heavier, and more rigid brass plate.
For this kit in particular, you will need to supply your own switches and keycaps -I believe you will need stabilizers as well. Although i read something somewhere about GMK stabilizers.. Anyways, hope this helps. The buy was a 'raffle' type of buy, but is now 'open' group buy meaning anyone can submit a form and will get a keyboard.

Thanks for this BAS1C and Jchan! (I have followed the Facebook page).
I'm glad I asked, because I don't think I'm ready to provide my own switches etc. Maybe for my second board I'll consider getting into the building/soldering side of MKs. At this stage I'm just looking to buy a high quality out of the box back lit MK that's fully programable on Mac. (Also wanting to do custom keys in the future too).
I've received a tonne of good advice from /r/Mk, but now I'm even more conscious that I need to make the "right choice"—if such a choice truly does exist—instead of just jumping at attractive options. Was looking at the TADA68, but originative has sold out, and TaoBao is a nightmare to navigate. Now I feel like I'm back to square one.
Anyways, maybe I'll make a post on Geekhack asking for advice. Where would be the appropriate forum for those kind of questions about purchasing and decision making etc? I'm conscious that this probably not the place to be asking these questions.

My highest recommendation is to get Zealios and then asking someone to build it. I'd ask /u/quakemz. He helped build the first M65-A :) You can ask on reddit itself. I think they're great with buying advice if you give them what options you're weighing.

So psyched for this! Now that the 200 cap is lifted, will everyone who wants Hydro Blue get one, or is that color still capped at a specific quantity? If so, will folks who wanted it but don't get it have a chance to put in an order for a non-exclusive color?
For those of you who have used a brass plate - is there any noticeable difference between brass and aluminum?
Anybody know what's going on with the stabilizers? I know they were mentioned a few times during the IC but I'm wondering if I should start sourcing my own. If so, where might one acquire some fine screw-in stabilizers worthy of this magnificent board?

We'll provide them (Cherry ones), if we can't get the GMK ones in time.
When is the form going to close?
Sorry I missed it!Damn. I guess that I'm not joining this then, I wanted to pair with SA Dasher, or Devlin Skidata. :(
Hydro blue is only available for those who got Hydro (at any phase). There is no "cap" on it.

Oh looks like I got my things redirected.

Quick question about the color-matched rubber feet: are they getting matched to the bottom? Or the top? Because for example if I get a rose gold top + space gray bottom, I think pink rubber feet would be a good combination as an accent to match the top.
And for the large bolts: all one color, ones underneath as well? (my current order is for all-pink, so I hope all the bolts will be silver in that case).
Excellent! Thanks so much for the quick reply. In your subjective opinion, since you've seen Space Gray in person I think, would rose gold top + space gray bottom be a poor match? Can't decide if I should stick with all rose gold or go for a different color for the bottom to make it more interesting (I won't really be seeing the bottom much anyway...)Why not both?

I submitted in time for the close date, but you mentioned earlier that it might be extended to Jan 13, and that a polished brass plate might be an added option.

Hi everyone,
I just ran through everyones shipping calculations.
If you're on the east coast, looks like it will cost up to $40.00 to ship this.
If you're international, some DHL quotes came out to be $130.00 (like vietnam, and some parts of Australia), but I opted you for USPS Priority International for your package. However, some of you devils have opted for two, so you'll see the charges accordingly.
Otherwise, DHL is less than $78.00 for these packages otherwise (unless you opted for DHL only).
edit
no more changes now. we're going to start invoicing soon.

Now let's hear the color breakdown for the order total ;) For some reason I feel like Champagne will be the least-ordered color. Though could be Hydro Blue, because of the GB restriction. I think Space Gray will be at the top.

If I wasn't such a sucker for exclusivity and matching my incoming Hydro keyset, I would have DEFINITELY chosen Space Gray over Hydro Blue. There's just something about dark grays I can't get enough of!

I think I'm starting to regret not opting in for that mousepad now that I see that second, sweet gray design... Once a design is finalized, will there be an opportunity to add it back on?

Now let's hear the color breakdown for the order total ;) For some reason I feel like Champagne will be the least-ordered color. Though could be Hydro Blue, because of the GB restriction. I think Space Gray will be at the top.
10% silver, 5%Champagne (for the ones you can't see).Show Image(https://i.gyazo.com/7f9b8496eb81084f10c47bf9ceba5c36.png)
Hi everyone,
My friend is working on invoicing.
So far, we are done with about 40 of them, and already a few have paid. Thank you for everything.
We hope to get this train rolling fast.
RAMA and I are working on special packaging for this as I'm also thinking we need a few extra goodies for all the R1 supporters. I'm thinking special stickers for everyone, and some other type of swag ;)

Huzzah swag! Y'all rock.
Patiently awaiting the invoice so I can rip that bandaid off now and sulk later. Think you might be able to tweak mine to add in one of the mousepads though? /u/________________end_ is the username tagged to the two orders. If not, I can wait for extras of course - my own fault for not putting it in there!

Please email me your paypal address -> Jchan@keyclack.com
I've added your mousepad.
Lastly, I just received in the mail: the new PCB that works with split spacebar and all.
The new plates (brass and such) arrive next week, and I'll do a build for it with some funky layout.
I'm thinking ISO Enter with split spacebar and split backspace? Probably pair it with Hydro ;)

Hi,
You'll get an invoice sometime tonight.
If you don't get one, that's probably because of an email input error.
If this happens, please email jchan@keyclack.com

Also, someone pointed out to me that FEDEX is cheaper domestically for USPS shipments at heavier weights.
We'll be switching these more expensive ones to Fedex, which is about $28.00, if that is what we're quoted for your destination address.
If you've been charged $40.00 for USPS (looking at people in the Eastern Region of the USA), we'll revisit your quote.

We'll be ordering a few extras at FCFS.
Also, we're going to start invoicing this evening as I close 1965 refunds.
I think in this case, if I understand these diagrams correctly: https://rama.works/#/m65a/
the plate+PCB will be screwed into the top and suspended over the bottom part of the case.

I have the invoice waiting for me in my inbox, but I can't help but think I made the wrong choices in terms of color.
I probably just missed it in the thread but I thought the $210 price included the PCB. Just wanted to make sure I didn't accidentally select an extra PCB when filling out the form. If it's correct I'll pay the invoice right away!
Because of really high customs & taxation on international orders - will there be a possibility to kind of put a lower value on the parcel? Like 50$ or similar?
Hello Jchan
Are you sending out the invoices right now? when is the dead line to pay invoice?
Thanks

The PCB was not included in the base price of the case, those prices were independent of one another.
$210 w/ Nylon Base
$230 w/ Alu Base
$40 PCB
Great. Now I'm starting to wonder if I had a typo on my email.
My invoice shows the base and an additional base - did I make an error or is this correct? Can't really remember the form anymore :-/
Thanks, sent
Sorted out <3. Looks like someone got too excited about champagne and wanted two champagne base alu sets :)That happens when products like M65-A go viral. :)
:cool: Well, more is always betterThanks, sent

Ended up more expensive than I hoped, but I know that it'll end up being worth it.
Thanks for all your work on this Jchan. When it come time for these to ship will we be able to update our addresses? I will be moving before it ships but I don't have my new address yet.

Mid April is our projection.
You can update whenever you move by emailing me your order number, current address, and new address at any time.
Time for sleep... It's 5am.

It starts out affordable, but as you add extras, it can get pricey. Extra base, brass plate, mousepad.
I did my best with shipping. Pulled all the live quotes manually for every order and charged the most affordable one unless someone noted they wanted DHL. This was done manually for everyone based on their specific weight and order. It was definitely a pain.
Cheers and thanks for joining!
Hex screws like these (http://image.made-in-china.com/2f0j00GMTEPhSIHwqk/Hex-Cap-Socket-Screw.jpg) will look baller I think. Might just do black ones to go with the Hydro.
Hey for anyone else who selected all of the "standard' lower priced options, what did your kit total out to?
I got a paypal invoice for $276 when I selected only the stuff for the $210 options and $25 CONUS shipping so with paypal fees I guess ~$240 right?

What photoelectric said is accurate.Houston Texas here and with standard nylon plus pcb plus mouse pad it was 30 shipping. Didn't seem too bad to me. Thanks Jchan
As I've said, the shipping is the lowest we can get it for manually calculated for everyone's specific order weight, and destination.
If you are in cali, you got way cheaper shipping, at 15 usd from usps, but then you were subjected to sales tax (state law thing).
While in other places like Utah or Arizona, you got shipping at 15 usd and no sales tax. It's all processed and we spent a good chunk of the time in the process.
Ill be checking emails soon regarding any changes and they'll happen later tonight (it's like 2pm pst).

$210 and $230 are prices of the case kit with aluminum plate. +$40 for PCB, $35 to change aluminum plate to brass, as per the OP.

Yea I kinda did the same double-take because for some reason I was also thinking the PCB was part of the "kit" price. Se la vie at this point and I see where I missed that detail. Still stoked for this awesome keyboard!! However, much as I want to jump in and pay my invoice right away I am inclined to wait for my 1965 refund to process or the 17th deadline.
I've agonized over it, and just decided to pay the invoice. Blue top and bottom is incoming. If it doesn't work out, maybe someone would be willing to trade bottom pieces.

Just wanted to put in a shout out to jchan!! Even with a ton going on with this M65 GB happening, Hydro shipping, SA1965 wrapping up etc, etc, etc he has still been super responsive with communication and that is what really matters to keep people happy! Thanks again jchan for taking on some great stuff that supports this community!!Yesssss big shout out to him!!
What is the size and type of the side screws?
I plan to source different colored ones if there are any somewhere.
Glad everyone is hyped. It's been a long week.
Hope to get everyone processed soon. I'm already talking to the manufacturer about bulk production and working internal logistics. So far, working off of the Google doc has been way better to organize this buy, but we'll build for the future in our next crazy purchase.
If you think about it, there were an insane number of skus possible.
6 top colors, 7 base choices, 2 plate material choices, optional 6 base addons, and optional Mousepads.
Get hyped. Working hard towards our mid April delivery. Will keep everyone updated as we work towards that.
Just an FYI, I will be moving offices during this time, so there may be a slight delay with all of this. Such is life, as we move onto bigger and better things.
Thanks for supporting the M65, and this collaboration between Rama and I. We've been working at this since September and it's been a long time coming.
Time to go to sleep now... It's 2am and I slept at 5am last night. Have a good day wherever you are in the world ;)

Has anyone considered stainless steel as an alternative for the plate?
Would it be better or worse than aluminium?

So this is my first board I'm building from the ground up like this, never worked before with ps2avrGB. Luckily, I found a nice guide (http://imgur.com/a/hzd7r) by quakemz through a jchan94 post. I just wanted to put my thoughts out and see if I'm missing anything.
So if this is pretty much the board I'm getting, the only purchases I NEED are...The RGB underglow is already a soldered part of the board and the top side supports LEDs for the switches, but just simple, single-colored, 2-pin LEDs. Some OPTIONAL expenses are:
- ~70 Switches (Possibly going with Mod-M switches)
- Keycaps (GMK Hydro already coming. )
- USB Cable (custom Hydro cable also incoming)
Am I missing anything else? I've got all my tried and true soldering equipment and basic tools already at hand so I guess the only thing left to find is some dedicated time to make all this happen in April! And if anyone has recommendations for those LEDs and SIP sockets and where to buy them, I'm all ears.
- LEDs (2-pin single-colored ones, 1.8mm size preferred)
- SIP sockets (easier LED swapping)

Nice guide, I hadn't seen that before. Everything looks about right to me, but get a few extra switches just in case. I will also note that 2x3x4 square LEDs are often used in mechanical keyboards, but I have some clearance issues with those under GMK keycaps (R2 zealio switches). Since you mentioned hydro it might be safest to go for 1.8mm.
Have fun with your first build!

Yeah, that guide is fantastic! And in a numpad I built a few months ago, I didn't use SIP sockets and instead just put the 2x3x4 square LEDs inside the switch and it was a perfect fit. I understand though, the only reason I put them in there in the first place was a clearance issue. 1.8mm with SIP sockets it is then, thanks for your input! :thumb:
Kits come with cherry stabs. See post

or possibly gmk screw in:eek: :eek: :eek:
Hey, sorry if it was already mentioned (I think it was on the form, but I can't access it anymore), does anyone know the size of the mousepad? Measuring my desk right now, hoping it'll fit haha.
Thanks for everyones amazing patience with this.
We're estimated to get the new Brass switchplate samples sometime next week. They are already made (cutout and what not), and just need to be polished/brushed.
I'll take a few photos of them when they arrive and then i'll stress test them by putting them outside my office for a day or two (it's been raining in LA recently).
I'm sure the humidity and such will cause some reaction. In any case, we'll go with the better of the two options.
edit:
And I got a few questions about this already but we'll also have a few extra plates (in brass and multiple colors) available after everyones shipment has gone out.
This way, you can get extra plates + PCBs and change the layout very easily.
I'll be having the brass plate + PCB made by quakemz again. The layout we're going with is: ISO, Split backspace, and Split Spacebar. More TBD !

Invoice paid!
About the brass plates and PCBs, does this mean there will be two versions of the plate and PCB? (one set which supports ISO, split backspace/spacebar and one set which doesn't)
I know the standard PCB by winkeyless is part of all orders, and it seems like they don't support split spacebar. But please correct me if I'm wrong.
Those polished brass plates look godly. Are those the one's we're getting? (the people who ordered brass)
Welp now I wish I ordered a brass plate...
Any more room on that brass plate Regret Express train? Man, mark me up as another one with regrets for not opting for one, I'd definitely get one now if I could after seeing it!
:(
Dang, thought you said the brass plate was too thin to be polished... :(
Don't worry, there won't be any "give". When you combine a pcb with metal plate all bolted to a solid aluminum top like this, it will be a very solid keyboard with no noticeable flex. My LZ-GH is like that and is very very solid.
How about those who signed up for the brass plate express?
Choo Choo!
Can you share how many orders were successfully processed atm? I'd say twice the limited number at the start ;)

Oh well ~ :).

need also the Brass plate... please open the chance to buy it RAMA!
I will be happy with the upcoming Fjell that will stay with my until my dying breath

What would you varnish it with? I had a thought about spray-painting it clear, but not sure if it will ruin the appearance. Cleaning around all the switches will not be an easy task if you use a cleaning solution that requires rubbing it into the brass--don't want to get any into the switches.
Extra plating ;D
Oh sweet. I'll take my silver case coated in platinum too :p

Emailed him earlier today and got mine swapped. Best of luck!
Who should I message to tweak my order before payment? Jchan I'm guessing?
I mean if anyone REALLY needs it I could transfer my order (champagne top and bottom, brass plate, total of $380) because for me it's more or less just a fun build and I don't really want to flip it later for an insane amount of money to desparate people. I will be happy with the upcoming Fjell that will stay with my until my dying breathBlasphemy, bro!

So any jet matte black users? what keycap sets are you getting?Dcs toxic or troubled minds are the two im thinking. Kind of depends on how each profile looks on the board.
I like the fonts on the Mito canvas XDA, but the colour doesnt really fit :/
Very excited for my order. Went with the space grey and nylon base + brass plate + extra matte black base. Currently plan on throwing my SA Carbon with orange alphas on it but if the greys clash to much I also have SA penumbra and hyperfuse incoming and will figure out a good mix and match. Also already have a pack of mod-m's waiting for this. Going to be my first build so i really can't wait to start thisI think carbon will look just fine. I have a feeling cherry profile is gonna look better on this board.
Idk if I've ever been so excited for a keyboard.I hear ya. Just gotta forget about if for a couple months.
Was that space gray with brass plate behind it?

Oh man that's nice looking. The flash makes it look silver. My case is silver. Perhaps I should get wet.

I've been looking for something white with gold legends. Is that not a thing? Saw something along the lines yesterday on mechmarket, but it was orange.
Looks like we're pushing forward soon. thanks for your patience.

This keyboard is a lot more unique (at this time anyway). Also doesn't break the bank as much! But to really answer your question, only you would know the answer. Ask yourself what you'll be happier with on your desk in the long term, if you can't afford both.
Get both, bruh.

Get both, bruh.
To me it's more so a budget I cap myself to. Every year is a 3 board maximum, last year was a 27TKL, Zeal60 and Novatouch, this year so far I was planning on a 980c, M65-A and possibly something else down the line, but I'm more comfortable with TKLs. Just a FOMO most likely.
Either way if the LZ is amazing enough, it may make me break my 3 board yearly cap! I thought about it some more and am probably going to keep my M65, can't say no to Hydro Blue...
Sorry Jchan didn't mean to go off topic!
Breaking your 3 board yearly cap and it's only January lol. Have they given a price on the lz? I need a tkl since I got rambae (65) and a tx75 (75) this year. Eventually I'll get a nice tkl and be set for a while.Such a dilemma...keep my order or transfer and go into LZ TKL...

Edit: found the price
Lz TKL is up for $447. Very expensive. E8-v1 TKL is perhaps a better choice at $310 with more color options and a more interesting layout.Gotta say, I'm very happy with my choice to go with the Ramabae. Anodizing on this board looks choice, none of the other customs have brass plates available, and it's got the powerhouse of jchan + Rama behind it for production value and logistics. Add on to that the price and it's a seriously great looking board. Can't wait to see it in person.
This may have been asked before, if so apologies, but are these two cases different sizes or is it just the offset being exaggerated in the photo?Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/9D8iWwZ.jpg)

If I want the underglow do I need to buy led lights? Or does it come with them?
Not sure if it was asked, but is this pcb hotswappble? I.e. Compatible with hotlite sockets?

The PCB isn't hotswappable as-is, but it looks like holtite sockets might work as long as they don't fall through the holes [seems to be a problem for some PCBs]. I bet nobody has tried it yet so we can't know for sure.

R2 someday. We'll have extras. Extras can't be reserved :-[
I just searched every page for the physical dimensions of the board, and can't find any references. Anyone know the WxHxD?He uploaded the STL file for it:

Cool. Anyone got the HSL (or Hex, RGB, etc) for the different colors? Used the eyedropper on ps for something close enough, but wouldn't mind an exact. Useful for keyset testing (as someone who is still deciding on which keyset to get).
Hi everyone,
Our order will be placed soon. Our order is pretty much finalized. We will have extras so please do not fall prey to the aftermarket.
Do we have any further info on the PCB as of yet? Looking to get ahold of some hotlites to replace switches in the future.
Do we know if all of the pcb holes are standard size or are they going to get funky on the bottom row?
Everyone back on the steel plate regret train chooooo chooooooooo
Seriously though that's amazing. Does that mean they'll resist corrosion?
That's last second change order is looking nice now. :thumb:Do we have any further info on the PCB as of yet? Looking to get ahold of some hotlites to replace switches in the future.
Do we know if all of the pcb holes are standard size or are they going to get funky on the bottom row?
They can use different ones that aren't available on digikey. I'll get some.
Also some good news:
1. I'm placing the order with GMK for the screw in stabs. Stabs for all!
2. The Brass Plate is now PVD plated (same as the brass weight), and has some real gold in it :eek:
Great news!
Now regarding the GMK (http://i.imgur.com/YWmUvT1.jpg) stabilizers, have they been used or sold recently? I've mostly seen them in ICs or old GBs or being referenced in discussions, but I don't remember reading a proper feedback about them. Like would anything else than the materials change compared to Zeal's stabs who are also the screw in kind?

Do you know if the holes are larger diameter (like Duck Lightsaver V1 PCB I had, I think), so the hotlite pieces need to be larger?

Hi everyone,
I've updated post #2, and will be logging updates there (when I remember).
But here's the summary of what has happened so far:
1. GMK Screw in stabs for all.
2. Brass Plate (not weight) is now PVD coated with hints of real gold in it.
3. Payment has been made to manufacturer.
4. Deskmat is going through a few variations and will be done soon! :)
edit:
5. Custom boxes have been designed specifically for this. They look dope AF.

A "WORK IN PROGRESS" for the Deskmat. It's looking amazing. I can't wait to see the final version. It really reminds me of those Ikea manuals that you have to look through while constructing furniture. Now, I have this strong appreciation now for those designers since I know how many hours its taken to get to this point.
Great work Rama & Rama'sBae (Kate).Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/nLQj2Sm.jpg)

The design looks great! Just hope the final color of the background isn't white.
The typical Blue background with white colors wouldn't be bad, however, something cool like grey with different color images (purple, black, red) would be cool.I like the way you think and I love colorful things!

Alright! Just spoke with jchan about it and I'm going to just transfer entire order. Most PMs I received were about splitting everything up, and I'd rather not do that. So I'd like to just transfer my entire order, which consisted of:Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/2O2fpdB.png)
Brass plate was 38 extra, so add onto the 276 + 38 = $314!
Don't think I'm allowed to part it out though.

For the noobs among us, what are ps2avrgb, QMK, and atmega32u4? I'm not really sure what I would be upgrading to.

Benefits:
ps2avrgb uses a GUI to do everything. It's more difficult to make macros and such.
QMK is more complex and allows for special functions to be programmed, and is way more flexible (granted, YMMV based on your own knowledge, and google skills, etc).
ALSO, it uses MINI-B. We also have a Type-C one that is still in development, but ya know... things take time :D

The invoice number you were asking for was something like M65-A-(number), right?
I recommend before upgrading take a close look at the BootMapperClient and consider of there's anything you want that can't be done in there. It's such a neat mapping & programming GUI ... QMK isn't better because it is more expensive of has more potential. You'll have a much harder time performing the same things you can do with the ps2avrgb board, it's really only worth it if you actually use the additional potential.
I tried playing with QMK for my Planck but still can't figure it out. I'll look into it deeper sometime in the future but for now I'm going to stick with the Winkeyless firmware for this board.I recommend before upgrading take a close look at the BootMapperClient and consider of there's anything you want that can't be done in there.

It's also worth it if you had problems with input delay with ps2avrGB in the past and care about that, but never had any problems with TMK or QMK like it's the case for me.
I totally agree with the statement that BootMapperClient has a nice GUI that works well and that it will do 90% of the stuff QMK does keymapping wise, the lack of visualisation of the keymap in QMK is pretty unintuitive.
I took it because I already have ps2 based boards with input lag and I want something different to tinker with.
I have never built my own board and am pretty knew to this. Could you elaborate on the "input lag" ? Are you talking while mapping the layout of the pcb or do you mean actual lag from key click (say typing the word "there") to having it produce those letters on your screen?

TLDR:
ps2avrgb uses a GUI to do everything. It's more difficult to make macros, but easier to program basic layouts and underglow.

I upgraded because 18 bucks... But I honestly have no idea what this means. And that's after reading the above posts.From what I gather the upgrade can be cool if you are good at firmware and stuff. The original has a user friendly Gui and is more noobtato friendly

Email was sent 5:31am my time, and I submitted my form 3hours later. I filled out my form three hours later, so I hope I got in the upgrade. Instead of an upgrade, I kind of want one Ps2 pcb, and one qmk pcb.This would be ideal!

Personally gonna wait for the Type C + QMK revision, but this is an awesome upgrade option!Type C? What's that?
Speaking of Type C, will the M-65's case be able to accommodate the larger type-C port? Looks like there's not a whole lot of wiggle room right now even for the Mini USB port. I'm hoping I won't need to buy an updated case just to move to USB type-C.
Thanks!

*Edit sorry I didn't read all of it before I asked.
USB C is a bad idea for a keyboard I think. No cable compatibility and no reason for it.

Hold up, if QMK has been ported to ps2avrgb boards, isn't this an $18 "upgrade" to limit yourself to QMK only? The standard, cheaper PCB would have the option to use bootmapperclient or QMK. What am I missing? :confused:

The ps2avrGB PCBs are reliant on V-USB for their USB compatibility since the atmega 32a does not support native USB.
The QMK PCB here uses an atmega32u4 which does have native USB compatibility.
I had a ps2avrGB based board with a 32a in the past and it had more input delay than my TMK/QMK/o2d ones which all use either a 32u2 or a 32u4. It is not very noticeable for normal use and not even for most of gaming use, all your mainstream games (LoL, DotA, CSGO, Overwatch, Battlefield, etc.) will work fine, it's just that there cases where this affects you a lot like in rhythm games or high-level tetris or stuff like that.
In my experience ps2avrGB with a 32a had more input delay than Leeku's L3 firmware with a 32a, which had more input delay than all the 32u2/32u4 implementations I tried. I cannot predict how efficient the code that implements V-USB into QMK is, but I still believe that even the best V-USB implementation is slower than the native USB of the 32u2/32u4. But up until now all my testing was done with just "feeling it" and the hit-error bar in osu! , so nothing really concrete yet. I also did some other test where I hit a key which played a sound which was recorded with a microphone and I the went through the recordings and wrote down the delay(to compare the difference between boards, not to measure the base delay of each board, that wouldn't work that way), but other than confirming my speculations it didn't do too much as there was still too much variance in the single measurements to get a exact number in ms, I took averages of 10 though.
Oh also I don't think that V-USB supports N-Key rollover, iirc it is not able to use USB fullspeed which is necessary for N-Key rollover.
Do you know what color solder mask is used for each of the two offered PCB types?

This is all correct. I wanted to explain it, but I felt like it would have been difficult to understand if I wrote it out.
But thanks for this! :D
Very good explanation <3 thanks bro
When will we know if we got the upgraded PCB?
Ok so its only a upgrade? not a extra PCB? i was looking to fast.. the ps2avrgb is just easier to program right? cuz it uses bootmapper, wanted to try both

For the extra PCBs, we'll have them in a separate sale along with an optional layered case. It's kind of complex mixing them together imo from a logistical stand point.
Bootmapper is definitely really easy to use. QMK is a lot more difficult :P.

I could easily mock it up, but it won't ever happen. When has there EVER been a custom font run? I suppose you could do dye sub, but that limits colors a lot.

You'd have to dyesub or laser etch. No one is gonna go double shot custom font.Unless you have a **** ton of money for the molds.

Is it too late to add a brass plate to my order? <_<
Those are gorgeous.
Yupp. We'll have some extras and such after. We only have about 20 brass plates or so for spares, that won't go into pre-assigned "buy it as is" full units.
Kinda bummed I missed this buy, was hard choice between this and Mira but given there will be extras I got money aside so hope to grab one then
Seems to be the way this hobby goes.Kinda bummed I missed this buy, was hard choice between this and Mira but given there will be extras I got money aside so hope to grab one then
it was a very hard choice between this and mira. So i bought them both.
Willing to split up the set and add the mousepad to my order?
That makes sense. I'll keep an eye out for extras then.
Did the QMK invoices go out? Worried that I didn't make the cut or filled out the form incorrectly somehow :'(
Any idea on which direction the switches will face on the PCB? I ask because I just discovered today that GMK caps do not work on R3 switches where the led faces north (upside down switch placement). Well, they work, but have a muted bottoming out since the keycap collides with the switch housing. Yes, this is a thing. Yes I believe thousands of GMK users have overlooked it. Please for the love of god point the switches correctly. Pretty sure a large chunk of us will be putting GMK sets on here.

LEDS are in the South position.
Also, you want 1.8mm LEDS.
Thank Jesus, you just made my week

Hi jchan, any news about the qmk pcb? haven't got any news about those.

Will 2x3x4 LEDs still work for DSA or SA but not GMK?
Hi jchan, any news about the qmk pcb? haven't got any news about those.I just received and payed my invoice for the qmk :)

Will 2x3x4 LEDs still work for DSA or SA but not GMK?
Yes this absolutely is a thing. Many people are nescient and no one seems to ever talk about it. So many people putting gmk or similar low profile sets on upside down switches.
Gladly it seems that all, if not most quality pcbs for custom builds are designed for correct switch orientation.
Also with LEDs. Even with south positioned LEDs for me personally GMK caps still bottom out on the LED.
I've tried 2x3x4, even 1.8 LEDs I got from Winkeyless still bottom out on the keycap. The only thing that works for me is clear switchtops with 2x3x4 leds mounted underneath the switchtop.
However I think this may not work with holtite sockets.
If someone wants the QMK and didn't get an invoice, Jchan you can cancel mine and give it to them.

Ok but I need to know if 2x3x4 will work for SA and DSA caps on this PCB or else I need to buy some 1.8s since I've already bought the 2x3x4s.

I obviously don't have this PCB, but I don't see why it would differ from any other. I have placed 2x3x4 leds in similar boards without issue. I remember a few that I had to rework because they weren't pushed all the way in before I soldered them, but as long as they are flush there should be no issue with DSA or SA keycaps.
However, since you have time before the board arrives, you might as well get some 1.8mm LEDs. They loolk nice, seem to be slightly brighter, and will be better compatible if you decide to put cherry profile caps on it down the road.
You can get them from eBay for cheap or even zeal has some for a decent price, if you want them quicker.
Was the qmk pcb limited?
same, won't miss it if I miss out tho, PS2avrGB is good enough for meWas the qmk pcb limited?
It was limited. I thought I filled out my form pretty quick. I never got an email... Did I miss out?

As I missed to join GB, I am looking for someone who is looking for order transferring to me, so I can get it and done.
My preference of this board would be;
- M65-A aka Ramabae65 $230 w/ Aluminum Base (Champagne, Rose Gold or Space Grey)
- PCB $40.00
I have plate-mounted keyswitches, and hope the above components works well with my keyswitches.

Heyo :P
There is this one:
- Space Grey top
- Space Grey Bottom
- Brass Plate
- Additional Silver bottom
- 1 Mousepad
- PCB
$415 pre shipping.
I can take out the additional silver bottom, or I can take out the space gray bottom. It'd be $85.00 less.

the mousepad sample came in, and it looks amazing.

We'll have the extras available after the GB ships.
New update:
GMK Screw in stabs just arrived for everyone's kits. You'll have a choice of 6.25U or 7U when it comes the time to be finalized for shipment.

Hey jchan, just wondering but how will we be contacted to pick the stabs?
How much would the nylon base cost? Just wondering as I guess I have the aluminium bottom one now.

Probably around $65 + shipping considering the Nylon set is $20 cheaper than the Aluminium set and the Aluminium base is $85 itself.
Looking into getting switches, and I'm wondering if I should get PCB mount or plate mount? Thanks! :)
Sounds great, thanks!Looking into getting switches, and I'm wondering if I should get PCB mount or plate mount? Thanks! :)
Both should be supported. PCB mount is always preferable, but either work.

Both should be supported. PCB mount is always preferable, but either work.
Most people prefer plate mounted keyboards. The M65-A is a plate mounted keyboard. Having PCB mounted switches is only going to make it more difficult to put together with literally no added benefit. I would have to disagree with the statement above and say that plate mounted switches are most often preferable. The only reason to buy PCB mounted switches is if you know you're using them on a PCB mounted KB or if you have no idea what you'll be using the switches for—because you can painfully trim all the PCB mounts off later.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is how I've always understood it.

The reason to buy PCB mount switches is that you can use them as is on most plate mounted setups, or simply snip off the PCB mount legs. With plate mount switches you're tied to plate mount only. I also find PCB mount better when handwiring boards as I can use the PCB mounts to hold diodes in place :cool: Pretty much no reason to limit yourself by buying plate mount only switches IMO.
Back on topic; can't wait for this board. QMK invoice paid. My body is ready!

Awesome - just ordered 70 of the R5 zealios and a bunch of silencing clips. This is going to be my first custom build so I'm stoked!
Nice man zealios are the bomb that's what 3 of my 4 last builds have
The cons with mod switches outweighed the pros for me. They are nice and tactile, but more wobble than any other tactile (now that zeal fixed zealio wobble pretty well), and not as smooth as zealio. Zeals are not quite as tactile but feel nicer overall to me.Sounds about like what I've been hearing from people lately too. I've only really used topres and Razer switches before so I can't wait to try the Zealios R5!

I'm glad to see so many people hyped so much about this :).
We've made some good progress so far since my last "update". Currently, we're working out the custom foam design, and the boxes for it. The mousepads have been paid for a while ago, and now, we're waiting for it all to come in.
Rama just finalized the weight design, and we'll be seeing it very soon ;).
Lastly, I will note that I will be moving offices very soon (in April). We're estimated to get this around the same time that I will be moving, so things will be hectic, and on top of that, I have to inspect all of the parts, etc etc.
Just wanted to give you all the heads up, and things are still moving for this buy, and the train won't stop ;).

Ah, thanks for the explanation. I guess with a sandwich case the keys are 'floating' of sorts then.
Does anyone have a time machine so that I can travel a few weeks into the future and build my M65-A? The hype I feel is almost too much to handle at this point.
I suppose a genie in a lamp would suffice if no one has a time machine.

Just finished burying our dog :'(.
She was misdiagnosed and ended up having adrenal gland cancer which spread out to the kidneys, heart, liver and a part of the nose.
If they realized that the first time we brought her to the vet for a check up because she wasn't feeling well they could have cured her pretty easily. But it's easy to put someone else at fault. I guess...
Ah well, she had an awesome life for almost 12 years, so that's something.

Hi everyone,No worries dude mechmarket it is for the trades!
I've been getting a lot of emails about transferring spots, and picking up partial orders, and getting a small extra, or changing something out.
Unfortunately at this time, since we're about to lock things down, I won't be accepting these requests (except for 1:1 order transfers). I've organized this buy in way to lower logistics by packing everything into boxes before they're shipped to me.
I hope you understand my position, as I'm currently in the middle of an office move and a bunch of other things. So sorry to turn everyone down, but with over 400 people in this group buy, I have to stay organized and we're almost at the end.
After the buy is completed he stated there will be extras based on a first come first serve basis.
First time getting LEDs for a build.You won't need resistors as the board will come with them already installed ready to go dude.
These are the times i regret not paying as much attention in physics-class as i should have.
I'm guessing I have to get resistors to match my LEDs?
If that is the case, what do I have to look out for?
I am guessing I would need 100 ohm resistors (as afaik USB provides 5V), judging from the table provided on lighthouseleds.com's 1.8mm LED product page.
Is this correct?
Thanks in advance!

Would be good to get clarification on that, sounds unusual to have resistors provided since they are LED-specific. Diodes, yes, but resistors I think are usually user's-choice.

It depends on the forward voltage and current of the LED. Should be listed on the product page. You can plug those into any of the numerous LED calculators out on the web with your correctly-guessed 5V USB supplied voltage to get an idea of the resistor you'll want.

I just want to say... thank you for trusting me with this buy. I'm very hyped for everyone to get it. In the past few weeks, I've been working on a custom box design to make sure these are transported safely from the manufacturing -> me -> to you. I hope you're all excited for it.
Here is a teaser of what you'll get in the mail when it all comes. The exterior of the box will be custom printed as well :). I hope that this box is one of those that you keep in your garage for years to come, and one day in a few years, you magically find it and think back to this moment that you helped make this keyboard happen.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/BQSB1lY.png)

OMG you're giving me a hard choice choosing amongst my keyboards. I plan to keep 1-2 out of the M65-A, Duck Viper V2 and my trusty modded hhkb type-s bt with hasu. At the rate this is going, I might end up keeping all 3!

Nope. I guess you might be able to solder them in there if you really want too. But they wont stay on their on.
Welp, just saw this. I guess the QMK board is a no go too then. :(Just wondering if the PCB will fit the switch holtites? Thanks!
I was told no.
Neither board is compatible as far as I know.

Oh, that's sad!
Time to practice my soldering skill then...
I'm a novice solderer, if you're anything like me it's gonna be really tough to solder holtites in. I would avoid trying to do that. I tried with a GH60 it did not end well. You could get a used gh60 or other board to practice on... but yeah soldering holtites is... messy. If you do go ahead try to find the thinnest solder and the thinnest pointiest iron tip you can find, that would probably help. You'll also need those "third hand" type clamps to keep the pcb elevated while you have both hands free and keep it level because you don't want to solder them in crooked. Lastly if you are using holtites and want to lube your switches make sure you don't use any thin lube (some people use on springs etc), as this can seep into the leaf and down into the holtites causing switch chatter. Just some random mistakes I made that you can learn from haha.
Edit: damn autocorrect
Are the PCBs made by the same place that makes them for Winkeyless.kr?
He recently released a set of holtites that are designed to work with his PCBs, maybe they would work with the M65 too?

.38mm would also be wrong, you need more than twice that to fit a Cherry MX switch pin.

Yeah, both numbers are weird. I don't have my autocad laptop with me right now as I'm outside, but I'll take a look next week on that to see if the dimensions are that. I also have an order of holtites coming in so hopefully this works with the final product :)
What kind of support will we get for the QMK PCB? Will it come flashed with a default layout? Will the QMK repository be updated with matrix, keymaps, config, etc for the M65-A? If so, when?
Thanks!

My guesses:
Assuming that Jack accepts the pull request, the QMK support would likely be done before the PCBs ship. Worst case you'd have to grab a fork of QMK.
Yes. It's almost unheard of for PCBs to go out without a default layout pre-flashed :thumb:
Is the original timeline still accurate by the way? If not, what's the latest?

No, as per the discussion a few pages ago. I've also asked jchan directly via discord. No holtites unfortunately. *looks at pack of holtites*

Does that apply to both the standard JC65 PCB by winkeyless as well as the QMK version?
They were designed and manufactured separate from one another, and QMK seems to be pretty new. Does anyone have the QMK PCB specs yet?
Figuring something out atm, and am wondering what kind of aluminum does the M65-A use?
Made with RAMA from RAMA.WORKS, the M65-A is fully reprogrammable, has underglow, allows for backlit LEDs, and features an ALU6061 rigid body frame design.
I just got the production box and the foam is so nice! These will be packed very nicely.

Probably will take photos of it tomorrow. Gotta take my m65-a apart to make it look good.
The box uses a lot of foam, and custom cut outs for each part. These will be packed like this from the manufacturer -> to me -> to you.
When I get the shipment, I'll open each box and check the contents to make sure the order is yours, and QC/QA them. Then if its good, pack it into a box and get it out to you :).
Dear jchan, I am now with 4 emails unanswered for the qmk. I am still waiting for an updated invoice to pay the 18 usd. Can you please check ? Thank you !

This should be about right. Please remember I'm moving offices end of April so they might be chilling for a little while!
I hear things are a tad behind, due to the recent holiday in China. The delay should only be up to 4 days. But other than that, I think we should get this tracked to me in about 2 weeks.

Get with the program, man! Jk, I got switches a month or two back, but I'm going to be waiting on keycaps for quite a while. I'm in the SA 1965 GB, but I'll be missing a 1.75u right shift since I based my order around a full sized board at the time. I really wanted to put GMK Nautilus on this, but that GB hasn't even started yet :(

Gateron greens, nice! what color LEDs?
:D waiting for photos of the packaging!
Is there any recommendations as to which LED's I should get for the underglow and switches? This would be my first build with LED's.Underglow will have smd rgbs already installed. For in switch leds I say get 1.8mm leds. Just pick your color and go with the water clear brightness as the diffused ones I have gotten in the past are pretty terrible

In other news, I have heard some updates from the manufacturer. We are currently waiting to polish, and PVD the plates. The top piece is in production still.
Lastly, early-mid May ship date looks likely. I got an updated on the manufacturing timeline, and it looks like April is when it'll ship to me for QC/QA and ship out to everyone.
Here are some updated manufacturing photos.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/eRPrFUc.jpg)Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/9pxReDx.jpg)Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/MQELEdY.jpg)Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/dnCDVP3.jpg)

2. Rawrjau to send me the EMAIL whom it is transferring to.

Hi everyone,
As we close in on the finish line, I want to thank everyone that has participated in this buy.
In order to help me keep things organized nice and tidy, if you are seeking a transfer, I will simply refund you, and have it available for extras.
Thanks for your understanding, as swapping orders is quite troublesome this late into the group buy.
We're almost there! :D

It's all good. Just mostly disheartened at how quickly it was snatched up, since it was mentioned there will be extras at the end, but it seems unlikely I will have access to them.
Just meant low chance of being on at the right time and high chance of them being snatched up right away. But I'll do my best :D it's an awesome board.

Welcome to the regret bus. Seats are all full though, so you'll have to stand. :p
Hi Everyone,
Running through XDA atm, so haven't really paid attention to this thread.
But to clarify a few things:
1. I'll honor the transfer. Just give me a moment as I'm tied up in things currently.
2. There should be a good chunk of extras, with pre-made SKUs (i.e. You'll get it as is).
3. The extras will have a markup value as a package, as these will be immediate units that can go out.
Hope that clarifies everything. Cheers.
And lastly, mousepads should arrive this week, as I just arranged transport for customs.

Whenever I think of the gold of the m65a, I always consider 1965 or plum.
I'd probably go towards plum since sa is mucho difficult to type on.

If I had a rose gold M65, GMK Plum would absolutely be a must have set. I just don't have an interest in either.

Hi Jchan,
Can you confirm if the Keyclack DIY USB cables work for this keyboard? The opening for the micro USB in the case looks like it could be tight with the DIY micro USB connector.

Hi Jchan,Alternate USB connectors are plentiful, I'd recommend trying it before you assemble the cable and then getting a different connector if it doesn't fit.

When do you think you'll have extras available? I'd really love to get a brass plate (and possibly even aluminum case) but since the orders have been finalized I'd like to pick one up after the fact if possible. The packaging looks amazing, by the way.
Is there a chance of extra acrylic bottoms being made available for purchase later? Sadly, too late I now really want one along with the grey bottom. Anyone have an extra acrylic they no longer want?

Well I'm not sure on the process your end exactly, but fire me over Paypal invoice and I can pay immediately, no tedium at all. Is it that much of a problem?

Will people in the group buy be able to swap colors before the extras go on sale?I'd like to know that as well
I feel like every time someone asks a question my keyboard is going to ship one day later.

Will people in the group buy be able to swap colors before the extras go on sale?
The amount of emails jchan would have to sift through of people asking to switch and then having to redo stock of all the switches to make sure the aftermarket stock is completely correct. and the inevitable emails from people saying "hey so id like to switch my case color but could i also switch to a brass plate", would just be way to much. I couldn't see this as feasible without him having to delay the group buy shipment, which to me isn't okay for that reason. If your color preferances have changed since you started the group buy either try to set up a swap with someone else that is looking for a different color, or attempt to buy the color you want fcfs and then sell the other board.
I feel like every time someone asks a question my keyboard is going to ship one day later.This so much. Lol.

Glad everyone is hyped. It's been a long week.
Hope to get everyone processed soon. I'm already talking to the manufacturer about bulk production and working internal logistics. So far, working off of the Google doc has been way better to organize this buy, but we'll build for the future in our next crazy purchase.
If you think about it, there were an insane number of skus possible.
6 top colors, 7 base choices, 2 plate material choices, optional 6 base addons, and optional Mousepads.
Get hyped. Working hard towards our mid April delivery. Will keep everyone updated as we work towards that.
Just an FYI, I will be moving offices during this time, so there may be a slight delay with all of this. Such is life, as we move onto bigger and better things.
Thanks for supporting the M65, and this collaboration between Rama and I. We've been working at this since September and it's been a long time coming.
Time to go to sleep now... It's 2am and I slept at 5am last night. Have a good day wherever you are in the world ;)
Congratulations! Now I'm looking forward to hear something about the sandwich case :thumb:
I was going to go forward with that case, but then decided that it isn't that awesome. Instead, I have an acrylic case being made right now, and I'll show it off when it is ready. But that's for a future time. It's currently being prototyped.
I thought maybe its time to get some nice plate colors, so I chose pink, mint, cyan, and purple for the plates :).

I'm almost glad I'm not the only one struggling! I was seriously tempted by GMK Laser but the last set of renders turned out to be disappointing to me. I dig Miami Dolch's colorway but not SP's DSA.
Nowadays I'm mostly tempted by a black on dark grey PBT set or something OG to match one of my Goupil (http://i.imgur.com/oRmUndR.jpg) keyboards.
Thesiscamper made some renders with M65A and DSA Miami Dolch. Definitely a cool set that's been waiting a long time to make it out, so definitely check it out.

There's a good chance the final colors won't be as electrically neon as the renders.. I'd bank on it.

Yes it is. And I'm very sorry, as I've tried my best to keep things up to speed. And I'm actually glad to say that this buy has lasted approximately 14 weeks (after payment period ended).

- Any other cherry profile solutions out there that someone might recommend?
The M65A supports split spacebar and I really want to try this configuration. That being said I've gone 100% GMK profile and so-far I haven't really seen blank keycaps that are designed to fit (other than GMK Oblivion which is still in GB stage). Questions for the folks out there:
- I believe you can use extra keys from the numberpad & 10-key as a temporary solution? Has anyone tried/done this?
- Other than Oblivion, are there any GMK sets out already with blanks that fit similarly?
- Any other cherry profile solutions out there that someone might recommend?
Thanks a bunch!
You could just use the extra 2.25u shift and the 2.75u shift that you get as a leftover from using the 1.75u right shift for the spacebar.
Many GMK sets come with the extra 2.25u shift for 660 compatibility.

GMK Carbon shipped an addon orange spacebar kit that included split spacebar support (https://www.massdrop.com/buy/30982). Maybe look for that on the aftermarket?
I will keep the Keyclack tab open in my browser to remind me to go grab one of the M65A once it's available. :DThanks for the update. Not hopping off this ship though and updates are very Uchiha appreciated. Seems you guys are doing this the right way which is very exciting. Thanks!

Why not?
I have a Space Gray and now Kinda Wishing that I had gotten a Rose Gold..... which was my initial Thought but then I was thinking of keysets.
Most of my keysets I use often have color schemes that go great with Pink (or are pink).
If someone who got Rose Gold would like to trade for Space Grey after jchan has shipped out, let me know.
Or jchan if you have any Rose Gold top plate extras I could buy!
I know I've asked about extras a few times but to piggyback on childofthehorn's question - will there be separate components available for purchase or ONLY complete kits? I want a brass plate and aluminum base (as opposed to brushed stainless steel and nylon base) so it might make more sense for me to try and buy an entire kit, but if I can purchase the parts separately (or have them swapped out in my order, knowing it will be shipped late compared to others) I would be a very happy man. Thanks jchan!!

There are 4 different items you can get in extras.
1. Complete kits.
2. extra Bottoms (aluminum and Nylon
3. extra Plates (brass + alu)
4. Standalone PCBs.
Small update.
Got the word that everything is packed into a crate, and the shell of the crate is being assembled. I'll post a picture when I have it. It's currently 12:30am in China as I'm writing this so I don't think I'd get one til tonight.

this was the PVD weight sample. There will still be a design on it.

So much hype that the next collab might just as well be called Liquid Gold :eek:
I think I messed up with my prototype. I should've gotten all Matte Black.

Thank you for all your hard work Icahn and RAMA. The hype is so real!!! On that note I currently have no stabilizers and I'm pretty unfamiliar with any good ones as this will be my second build. Any good recommendations for some stabilizers?

Screw in stabilizers are supposed to be included with your M65. Jchan mentioned awhile back that he would be emailing all participants to find out what size they needed.
- GMK Screw in Stabs for all

Refunds have been processed for those who have emailed me this past week about them.

Are there any leftovers for this?
After the group buy.
Extras are available after the group buy ships, at FCFS. But only after the bulk buy ships.
They will be on the new keyclack website (once we transition to the new one).
It should be available for immediate shipment sometime in May.

Hi,
It should be in your hands in the USA by mid-late June. I plan on pumping these out as fast as I can. A few cups of green milk tea should do.

Well that's a super crap for me. Was really hoping it would be early June. I'll be moving to a new state on June 19th.... so where in the heck should I have my keyboard shipped to? EEEK!
Maybe if you give us notice before they ship so I can have a chance to change the address on my order at the last minute?

I've marked your order to email you when it's ready.
The boxes are all premarked with the order number, so all I have to do is QC and pop-in your PCB, put it into a box, and it'll be on its way to you.
Should be fast with the amount of hands I'll have on deck.
holy crap. im so glad i got all matte black :D
JChan, if I want to add an extra aluminium base to my order (when it becomes available at your site), can I combine that with my original order for shipping? I.e., is it possible to avoid double shipping? I don't really mind delaying the shipment of my original order slightly to make that possible.

Not sure if correct but I'd imagine no. This ships in a custom case/box and from what i remember it looked like there was room in that case for an extra pcp/plate, so that might be feasible, but don't think thered be room for another base.

What I know so far about the extras:
1. There will be an options for; complete kits, extra bottoms (Alu & Nylon), extra plates (Alu & Brass), and standalone PCBs.
2. It will be available via https://www.keyclack.com/ on FCFS basis once the GB units shipped (mid-late June).
Is that correct?
Is it possible to announce the exact time of when will it be available on keyclack's website so we (bunch of people who are really interested on the extras) could anticipate the sale?
I assume that many people are interested on the leftovers and it'll sold out crazy fast :-X
Sorry for the inconvenience, but I really want these beautiful board so bad and I want to prepare myself. Been watching this thread and keyclack's site like a hawk since I learned there are extras of M65-A.

Same with Hydro so I'm sure he'll do the same thing for this :thumb:
jchan. I'm slightly concerned.
Long ago right at the start after paying my invoice I messaged you to see if I could change from Space Gray to black. You said no problem! and told me you updated the invoice denoting the changes. I got the confirmation email from Paypal that changes had been made to the invoice. Within that email it had a link to the new/adjusted invoice which still has the same description with space gray and no additional notes about the color change.
Anyone else made changes and went through the same thing?
Assure me there's nothing to worry about :-X :thumb:

I think 9000 is correct for the number of emails I get a day asking about extras ;)
In any case, I believe 450 were made internationally.
Please note: I know that some invoice numbers go higher than that, but that's because a lot of people dropped out during invoicing phase.

Sorry, I was sitting in an annoying evening lecture and got a notification email for this thread and was greeted with the same question as always and let my mood swing over.
A note on Extras
Once the group buy shipment is out, full details will be given for the release time/date of the extras. These are a retail price, and the full details, including pricing will be provided on Instagram (@keyclack), Reddit, this thread, and the keyclack mailing list after the bulk buy ships. You will have at least, a 72 hour heads up.
Please remember, the units are first come, first serve. My website autoscales with traffic demand so it doesn't crash, but it hangs when it's hugged.
What can I buy in the extras?
- PCBs
- Plates (Brass and Aluminum)
- Bottoms (Nylon, and Aluminum)
- and Full Pre-Determined Kits.
What is a pre-determined kit?
- A kit that has the top, bottom, plate, and PCB in a box. They come as is, and won't change.
- Also, you're limited to 1 Full Kit Unit (you can add the other parts if you wish, such as extra plate, or pcb).
Is there a R2?
- Currently, none planned, but Rama and I will explore that idea after the M65A is in people's hands.
------------
I hope that clears things up, and hope you all get this soon. Cheers.
Hey jchan,
Just wondering if you've asked us about which size stabs we wanted yet.
I changed email since the GB and just wanted to make sure I didn't miss your email.
Thanks!
Not sure if I'm in the Asia proxy or not. I live in asia but not sure if its automatically routed to the proxy.

If you ordered through taobao (or Asia proxy), you get it through them.
If you ordered from me, you get it from me in Los Angeles.

didn't have much time to check all the caps but i have to say, that i'm not very happy with the overall quality of the caps. but the dyesub itself is done very well, i think.nice got mine today :D
now i just have to get blank 1.25 keycaps for my double space bar as well as
sand/tune the g and h key to fit to the trackpoint.
(mailed you for the missing keys btw)

love the keycaps :) have them with clips and o rings for my office :D
The colors fit perfectly to norbauer cnc alu case :p :thumb:
gj jChanGot my caps today, all good. Only complaint I have is that it's never stated that these caps don't have "+" part connecting the central stem with the border. Without the + plastic part any O-rings you use will go too deep into the keycap to be of use and youll have to stack multiple rings to get them to work.
I actually use double o rings with clips. With one ring the dampers are not noticeable.
Hey jchan,
Just wondering if you've asked us about which size stabs we wanted yet.
I changed email since the GB and just wanted to make sure I didn't miss your email.
Thanks!
I'll have the form up tonight to sign up for a set of stabs.Not sure if I'm in the Asia proxy or not. I live in asia but not sure if its automatically routed to the proxy.
If you ordered through taobao (or Asia proxy), you get it through them.
If you ordered from me, you get it from me in Los Angeles.
Oh okay, so its gonna fly to US and come back to Singapore...
Yes. But think about it this way: man, what a journey this board has gone through. The hands it's been handed down from. The sites it's seen.
Please fill this out for GMK SCREW IN STABS to be in your order.

Thanks, submitted twice. Only other thing is (and I left a note about it on the form), I picked up a slot from someone else for one of my orders. I put the original order number down for the form, but there's also a slightly modified version of that order number that you referenced when you invoiced me for that slot. I felt like the original order number was more accurate, since it is in the same format as my other order number, but I made a note of that situation on the form.
If I want to go for a normal layout as shown in the renders, which stabs do I get? 6.25 or 7?
I'm soooo hyped. Thanks so much everyone and especially jchan and rama!!!

So does that mean, I did not transfer the order, or you did so on your own?
If you did a transfer through me, I add a letter such as: M65-A-0000A or M65-A-0000B
Please email me.

7U for the two 1.5U caps either side of space bar (like renders on first page)
if you want the "standard layout" with 3 1.25U modifiers on the left side, you want the 6.25U
Went with 7u so I can go with 1.5u across the bottom, arrows, split l shift, split backspace (bar, delete), and hhkb delete/bs. No need for win key on programmable board, especially with qmk. Thinking either double tap on FN or maybe ctrl+alt for win.

My preferred layout will require the 7u stabilizer, but I won't have any caps that fit that for a long while, so I went with the 6.25u stabilizer so that I can use the keyboard in the short term.

Second guessing myself here. Where is a good place to get a 7u stabilizer for later if I want to change layouts without spending a buttload for a whole pack of stabs?

Where are you based? There are a few places you can buy just the 7u wire cheaply. If you're near me I'll send you one for the cost of postage.

I'm in the central US. Probably not cheap postage if you're in the UK though ^-^

Well, I'm mainly going with 7U because all my other boards use 6.25 (or 6u.. topre) and I want to switch it up. And even though the 7u + 1.5u layout makes the bottom a little less symetrical looking, you gain a cleaner look with fewer keys. You won't be able to switch from 6.25u to 7u without desoldering, because the one requires 3 switches to the left of the space, the other only 2.

Yeah, I ultimately would like to use 1.5u control and alt keys with a 7u spacebar like the original photos, but I won't have any keycaps that support that for several more months and I want to play with it as soon as I get it.
Well to send it in a letter would only cost about 2 quid however it may arrive very bent haha. I'm sure there will be a US based site you can get a wire for a matter of cents though.
Hi Jchan
i wonder if theres a manual for the jc65 pcb or not?
i want to know how to turn on / off the LEDs and how to program it
was the weight already included or we need to get it later?

:D na just want dedicated arrows, delete key, page and home/end keys.

Novice question, but why would one want the GMK screw in stabs?
Novice question, but why would one want the GMK screw in stabs?
the screw in stabs fix the stabs on to the board and should lower the possibility of pulling out a stabilizer when changing keycaps.
- Emails replied to.
- Addresses updated.
- Requesting to see if we have extra units at the manufacturer that we can receive.
Have a good day everyone!
Bit confused which stabs I need... 6.25U or 7U. I will have ISO UK layout.

6.25 is the most common size, but you can use the ISO UK layout with 7U stabs as well. Look at the bottom rows available on the M65-A on the first page of this thread, and maybe check your keyset for compatibility as well if you already have one. It's mostly a matter of personal preference and keyset compatibility.

Don't have keyset yet, but sounds like 6.25U might be safer bet?
This question might be already answered but when will shippings to UK ship?
Just realized that JC65s are supposed to ship later this month. Looking forwards to building and posting pics.

What are you planning to do with the PCB? Curious. I thought he never released the case or plate for it.
Hey jchan, can't remember which Size Stab I ordered in the latest form. Can you look that up or shall I send you a mail with my order number?
Fun question while we wait
If the shipment is 4 pallets, what is the estimated total weight for 450 M65's ?
Hi everyone,
This is a friendly bump to make sure you fill out the form.
Other than that, I hope that the shipment arrives soon.

I recommend the next round of m65a happens at the start of next year, featuring all iconic Rama colour scheme(orange, purple, green, red) and Brass case(golden, PVD coated) as a special option for people who bought the first round of m65a
I think it is possible to manufacture in HK from the same factory that made the s01 spinner
Oh and make simple black, silver kit for good measure.
For weight, I think brass weight should be first round exclusive, the second round can get powder coated SS or anodised aluminium.
I think we can also have different material choice for switch plate, polished stainless steel and black brass will be pretty damn nice:D
again, those are just an idea....
here's another idea.I think the machining cost of raw titanium is a bit crazy don't you think?
RAW TITANIUM

I think the machining cost of raw titanium is a bit crazy don't you think?
Raw material costs 5-7 times more for titanium, it's more expensive to machine, and fewer shops can do it which drives up cost due to scarcity. It's not feasible in my opinion.
to do that effect, we just need a thin layer of titanium plated it... sooo making a huge block of titanium isn't really usefulRaw material costs 5-7 times more for titanium, it's more expensive to machine, and fewer shops can do it which drives up cost due to scarcity. It's not feasible in my opinion.
I agree but god damn would it be nice. Especially if we can get it heat cycled like that top.
Stainless Steel was explored before, but it was a tad out of reach.it will be really nice to have mirror finished ss plate, it will look and feel amazing:D
Hey jchan maybe the 4th run of the M65-A can have options for case made out of solid laser etched diamond with liquid platinum plate? The weight could be made of polished volcanic ruby (which has similar density to brass but less resonance to accommodate acoustic silencing).....wait, you thought I was joking?
Just a couple suggestions :thumb:

I'm sorry I missed this. I'll be trying for one of the extras, but I'm guessing they'll sell out in seconds. I hope you're willing to do another round. It sure seems like the demand is there, given how many people are reading this thread. I'll second the suggestion someone else made for offering the entire case in brass. One other finish you might want to consider for brass parts is silver plating. I'm not sure exactly what the composition of the silver plating used on brass musical instruments is (it doesn't tarnish as much as I'd expect if it were pure silver), but it's as pretty as brass gets. If you wanted to make the weight even heavier, a tungsten weight would probably make for a surprisingly unmovable keyboard.

It sure seems like the demand is there, given how many people are reading this thread. I'll second the suggestion someone else made for offering the entire case in brass. One other finish you might want to consider for brass parts is silver plating. I'm not sure exactly what the composition of the silver plating used on brass musical instruments is (it doesn't tarnish as much as I'd expect if it were pure silver), but it's as pretty as brass gets. If you wanted to make the weight even heavier, a tungsten weight would probably make for a surprisingly unmovable keyboard.
Tungsten weights were brought up in the unrelated Duck BlackBird/Orion weight group buy. I believe that the cost ended up being between $800-$900, and I think none ended up being ordered. Tungsten would be ridiculously cool, but unjustifiably cost prohibitive.

What about.... a marble weight
It should be in your hands in the USA by mid-late June. I plan on pumping these out as fast as I can. A few cups of green milk tea should do.

Hi everyone,HYPE TRAIN. CHOO CHOO!
The shipment should be clearing customs soon, and then going to a forwarding company for temporary storage, then final forwarding to Keyclack HQ.
Looks like we're almost there. I expect it to arrive this week, or early next. The paper work is a tad more troublesome then expected, but we're almost there :thumb:
Cheers.

The one thing that I'm still missing is a keyboard with an enamel ceramic white finish. Smooth cold and glossy.

Oh my god, are you going to use the same key set? :D
I may have missed this, but is there a rough ETA for shipping to NA customers?
And will it be shipped within US via USPS or some other carrier?
Thanks!
Will the Asia order be shipped by USPS ? Thanks
Thanks broWill the Asia order be shipped by USPS ? Thanks
If you ordered through me, check the invoice. It states the shipping that will be used.
I believe all Asia orders are DHL, but don't quote me.
I remember seeing a mention of split spacebar compatibility with this PCB, but just wanted to clarify.
Can someone confirm if this is T/F?
If it is true, what bottom row configurations would fit?

Yes. I'll be looking for exterior marks and anodization issues and such. Please note that internal blemishes might be there, but I guarantee the exterior will be :thumb:. Then shipping them out.
These should be 100% scratch free (on the exterior) since we packed them in their final boxes before shipping them out.

Heyo,
For the plates, we won't be upgrading them. But they'll be available in the FCFS extras
We have about 22 extra brass plates.
40 extra units (complete sets, with feet, etc etc).
I forgot what other units there are , but I gotta take the inventory when it all comes in.

I know its probably too late, but based on the full sets left over, would it be possible to swap out for a different color base/full set based on what is available? I got the standard silver but god damn that matte black looks fantastic!

Just 40 extra units... ummm that's too little for the massive crowd lol
40 extras probably make up like more than 10% of all the boards. I think like 350 were ordered. That itself is a crazy number, but the hype has been growing.Hey Jchan, any possibility of changing out my Alu plate for one of the brass ones?

Yeah, but the reality of it is at the time when the drop finished, it was only a handful of people that were like "oh man i didnt make the drop in time", then over the next few months till now, more and more people have joined JUST to ask about this, its crazy haha. 40 extra i think is NORMALLY fine, but the popularity of this kit skyrocketed AFTER this drop ended haha
over the next few months till now, more and more people have joined JUST to ask about this
How would one go about getting one of these 40?
does the pallet arrived at your place??:D

Awwwww yeah!!! Thankfully we'll have a few days notice before extras go up, so I might actually get that based brass plate. What are you guys gonna put on yours in terms of switches? Caps? I'll be trying out my still-sealed MX Silent Blacks, with lube to follow if they are as good as everyone says. Caps will likely be GMK Carbon because Carbon is just that good. And because LightCycle is still not here. :'( Must have patience! The wait is almost over, fam.

I'm already prepared for that in all honesty. There are so many people that want it, and so few units. If we really wanted it, we should have gotten in on the buy, is my stance. You wait 'til now, you take your chances.

Does this affect the extras going on sale on Monday as originally planned?
He's mentioned that the extras will go on sale at least 72hrs after all the regular orders have gone out. So yes, it does affect when the extras will go on sale. Although I don't think he's ever mentioned a hard date for the extras sale. He's always maintained that there will be a 72 hr warning before the sale.

You will have a 72 hour heads up on the time of when the sale will be <-- This is correct aha.

I'm not familiar with the history of any previous Rama products, but are these likely to go for a MAHOOSIVE mark up on mechmarket? Would people stand for that and would it be frowned upon... or is demand going to be so high that people will gladly be paying double the original price?

I'm not familiar with the history of any previous Rama products, but are these likely to go for a MAHOOSIVE mark up on mechmarket? Would people stand for that and would it be frowned upon... or is demand going to be so high that people will gladly be paying double the original price?

i know like 10 people who bought to flip so just make sure to get one as soon as they start shipping and you'll probably only pay 10-20% more than GB
Finally, can't wait to see it :) Poor international like me :( Have to wait longer

This is assuming you don't get one of the extras directly from Jchan, of course.

Also, I wanted to say, thank you all for supporting the M65-A project. Rama and I are truly excited to get this out to everyone. I started to look back at the time that I started the M65A. I had just graduated from Uni, and I was spending the summer at my office on Venice Blvd. I can't believe that it's almost been a year since I talked to Rama about making this awesome board, and now we're here - Exactly 11 months later.
After many talks with Rama in the past few months, and in the past week (when he came to LA), we came to the conclusion that we clearly don't have enough units to make everyone happy. After this round wraps up 100%, we will be planning our R2, I'll be overlooking my logistics to streamline them in order to get a faster turnaround time, and planning my QC trip to Asia.
Cheers everyone & photos to come tomorrow. Here are some photos you can and should expect.

Is private Jchan shipping to the Seattle meetup an option? :p
Opened the first few boxes of M65-A. They look amazing.
You can check it out on Instagram @keyclack via Story.

As promised, here are the photos. Sorry they took a day longer. It took a whole day to pack for the Seattle Meetup, and these boards aren't assembled, but I think you have a good picture of what to expect and such.
Also, I'll take better pictures when I get back. These are done in my living room, so they're not that great.

I feel like that'd be unfair, as those who are in the GB have waited a while to get their boards, and I want to get them out asap. During the GB (participation period), people had the opportunity to change their orders, which many did, such as color, or upgrading this or that. But after the payment was made, it was pretty much locked in.
Waiting to get an extra piece ordered would take a long time because there's no clear date on when the extras will be up as well, so I'd have to just keep the box here for a while and that's only help if you would be able to get an extra.
At the current state, I'm really worried, and by the sounds of chatter, there aren't enough units available which is unfortunate.
So I hope you find my decision fair, although, not in your favor. Sorry mate :(
After seeing the variety of M65's at the recent Seattle meetup, and experiencing Alps based boards, it would be awesome if there was an Alps plate for R2.
After seeing the variety of M65's at the recent Seattle meetup, and experiencing Alps based boards, it would be awesome if there was an Alps plate for R2.
Jchan provided the plate files, you can simply modify it yourself and have a plate cut. Offering a factory plate is not feasible for Alps, since it is not possible to have an universal Alps plate (because of the nature of mounting Alps switches, all Alps plates have to be cut completely specific to the keycaps being used, with regards to the keycap spacing as well as the type of stabiliser used).
Also, even if an Alps plate is offered, what PCB are you gonna use with it? There are no Alps 68% PCBs currently on the market.
Someone a while back asked me about alps and said he's down to make the pcb and plate, and I'm open to offering it in r2 and a plate combo.
R2 is gonna be sick, but let's not look too far ahead. We still have a lot to settle for this one!
Won't caps be difficult to find for it though?

The hardest part will be accommodating for all the different stabilizer types and orientations.
Universal alps plates also aren't that much of a thing because they clip in to the west and east side instead of north and south.

Basically what I said
I assume R2 components will be compatible with R1? Like, if I wanted to order just an alu bottom or a second plate/pcb?
Totally unrelated but I would love a similar design in a 60% form factor. Total dream board. Looking forward to extras/R2!

The simple fact that jchan has spoken about r2 means they have though about r2. Unless he's speaking in tongues and channeling the word of the keyboard God's when typing r2 in this thread. So, it feels pretty safe to ask if r2 will be a rerun of the same, if there will be changes, or if no decision has been made.
Can we start talking about round 3? I'd really like to see some way to include a bottle opener into the PCB, and definitely needs to be VR-compatible
Hi everyone,
To clarify, we'll be planning our r2 after we finish this. With the response from the community, we wanted to make sure that people who wanted the m65a, are able to get one. By mentioning it, I want to try to assure people that they'll have the opportunity to have this beautiful keyboard.
This lead me to start pondering on at least the colors we want to offer for the second round, and that's the only thing we have set for now. There is no timeline, just a general idea of a plan, such as streamlining our logistics to have a faster turnaround.
In any case, alps and such, might be included, but it's uncertain. The greatest thing about customs is that you make it your own, and offering the alps option, would be fantastic to help you achieve your personal board. We don't have any reworked electronics for it currently, so keep this in mind.

I'd be in again for R2 if there was Titanium/Selenite Grey, somthing two thirds the way between Spacegray and Black :rolleyes:

Hello
Congrats to everyone in this group buy.
I had a question about the Extras. The R2 GB M65's will be cheaper than the extras correct?
I'm only asking because I would rather skip the extras then and wait for R2 whenever it may be.
The pricing might be different from R1 due to possible material change (jchan suggested to use Alu 6063 instead), but in either case I'm pretty sure that GB will remain cheaper than retail.

What sort of Alu does R1 use? More just curious!

sorry i've been missing these past 3 days. After seattle, I got sick. Looks like a few others that I hung out with also got the sniffles.
In any case, feeling 100%, and all the shipping starts tomorrow.

In terms of retail price when the extras kits goes up, how much more will it be compared to the GB price? I know it's probably early or been asked somewhere in the thread probably but I just want to gauge the cost
I missed the GB and I am amazed at how beautiful the design is. Also jchan's great execution is top notch. will definitely get in R2 if not able to get the extras. I would love to see a military green / olive option for R2!

If it has a letter at the end, that means someone cancelled that invoice, and was refunded, then it was resold. So some have C, some have B.

So Jchan, if you have any extras that don't need sent back for reanodizing are you going to sell them "now", or hold them for the reanodizing boards to come back?
Just wondering if I should stop watching for extras for a while.

You know when you feel like everything is going your way?
Well, nothing like knocking ya backwards.
It seems that GMK didn't send me my full batch of stabilizers from a few months ago. I bought 700 2u stabilizers, but it seems I only got 200. I have about 20 left, and have emailed them about getting the last batch, or buying some new ones immediately. I have enough 6.25u and 7u, but without 2u, I'm stuck.
Waiting for GMK to reply. Hopefully they can expedite something.
Oops, that doesn't sound great .. Actually I was about to ask, how many 2u stabs will come with the board?

Thanks. But .. that's actually 2x 2u short for the split space / split backspace layout. I think it uses 6 if I count correctly. I have a 2u stab wire left but not 1 screw in stab :blank:Oops, that doesn't sound great .. Actually I was about to ask, how many 2u stabs will come with the board?
Four 2u stabs for Backspace, Enter, Right Shift, Left Shift. Of course, you may not use them all depending on your layout.

It seems that GMK didn't send me my full batch of stabilizers from a few months ago. I bought 700 2u stabilizers, but it seems I only got 200. I have about 20 left, and have emailed them about getting the last batch, or buying some new ones immediately. I have enough 6.25u and 7u, but without 2u, I'm stuck.
Waiting for GMK to reply. Hopefully they can expedite something.
Jchan feel free to send mine without stabilisers if that means I will get the board without having to wait for GMK shipment to come in (I don't even remembered if I ordered any, but I certainly don't need any more now, seeing as I recently bought 20 kits of GMK screw mounted stabs) :))
So Jchan, if you have any extras that don't need sent back for reanodizing are you going to sell them "now", or hold them for the reanodizing boards to come back?
Just wondering if I should stop watching for extras for a while.
Extras will be sold only after I can do another inventory check after I finish shipping everyone who participated.
If you're on the keyclack mailing list or follow on Instagram, or browse rmk daily, you'll be fine with getting a notification or a heads up.
You should make an FAQ at the top of every page:
Q: Where is my M65?
A: I'm shipping them as fast as I can
Q: When will there be R2/Extras available for sale?
A: Sign up to the mailing list to be the first to know.
Q: Any announcements for R2?
A: After R1 is over.

Don't be a ****. "Will you sell some extras now and the rest later" had yet to be asked, because the topic of some boards needing refinishing had just been brought up.
How about an option for a $5 refund/store credit (or whatever amount you deem is fair) instead of waiting on the 2u stabilizers? To be honest, it's getting kinda exhausting keeping up with the numerous delays.

QC is the bigger part that is slowing everything down. I'm inspecting all of them 1 at a time to assure the quality of the board, anodization and more. And as far as delays go: customs, I got sick, and GMK didn't send me all the 2u stabs (which is also my fault since I didn't do an inventory check), but nonetheless, I can still QC all the boards.
I think i might be done with M65-A after this :P ; it's time to rest this weary soul.

Oh, I definitely understand it's more exhausting for you, which is why I suggested a simple store credit option for the ones who don't want to wait for the stabs to come in from GMK (who aren't the fastest at communication).
That way the ones who get who don't want to wait any longer get their boards sooner, and you don't have to sit around after QC just waiting for the stabs to come in.

More bookkeeping and logistics, splitting up units into more SKUs is another chunk of work.

I would wait for stabs. the board will be waiting for Muted anyway. And my painfully slow process to meticulously build pandastotles.

Stabs ship from GMK next Wednesday, but there is also air freight and customs with it. In any case, QC is still doing done. Cheers.

Here are all the answers to every question that people are asking.
Q: Can I get stabs later?
A: Unfortunately, I'll have to say no. I don't like shipping partial orders. That's a lot of upkeep for me.
After waiting months what's another week? I can afford to be patient for a little while longer.
Should waiters still fill out the form or do people who don't confirm have their orders sent out in full all the same when the stabs arrive next week?

Just to be clear, jchan said the stabs *ship* from GMK next week, and still have to pass through customs. I would think 2 weeks is probably more realistic

Guess I'm an idiot and didn't check correctly before filling out the form. If I want to change my decision to "ship without stabs" how would I go on about it?
Day 4 is done.
Day 5 will be dedicated towards pure QC, and putting units away and documentation to get fixed up a little. Just need to make sure they are actual issues, and clean them up with some 120grit sand paper (jk).
Day 2,3,4 emails will be sent today. Sorry, haven't had a moment to catch a breath.

Out of curiousity, is there a way to set the underglow to one single color or is it always rbg rainbowy?Yes. It is programmable up to what Bootmapperclient allows for the standard PCB and up to your/community coding on the QMK PCB.

If you're talking about using QMK, you should simply check out the QMK docs available here: https://docs.qmk.fm/ (https://docs.qmk.fm/)
Any mac specific instructions for setting up a build environment can be found under "Build Environment Setup" on the left hand panel. QMK has amazing documentation imo.

It's programmable, but it'll actually be simpler for someone new to it since it's a PS2AVRGB PCB. You can google and find many many guides and multiples interfaces for programming those PCBs.

Do you think there is enough room/screw thread to add a small washer between the plate/case mount point so that the keycaps sit slightly below level to the case top?
That's a good idea but I'm pretty sure that you would have to have a significantly thick washer and then the bottom section would not meet up with the top. I really prefer to have the keycaps below the top of the case (one of the reasons I like the Fjell so much), but this design was chosen purposefully, and still looks nice. I'm guessing people like this look so that they can see the switch housings? Especially when they are clear and have leds

anybody else running into any issues with the PCB?Arrows not functioning outside of bootmapper as well or just witin bootmapper?
My arrow key cluster appears to be dead. I checked to make sure I didn't bridge any other contacts (I've also assembled at least 15-20 other keyboards before, so I'm pretty sure its not sloppy work on my end.)
I hope its not a bad PCB. Ideas of things to try? Every other key is recognized in the bootmapper client. It just the arrow cluster.
anybody else running into any issues with the PCB?Arrows not functioning outside of bootmapper as well or just witin bootmapper?

arrow keys are not working at all. up arrow is working, but left, right, down are not.
pressing those keys in bootmapper is like no keys are pressed. nothing is recognized by the application.

I opted for the QMK version, even though I've never used it before, and I'm having some troubles with setting up the build environment.
It keeps failing when adding the driver Microsoft PnP Utility saying: Adding the driver package failed : Invalid INF passed as parameter.
Anything I can or should do about this?

You could install Ubuntu on a bootable flash drive and work off of that.

Setting up the build environment? As in, you intend to modify and/or build the firmware from source? Does the PCB not come with a default map already flashed?
I have personally been frustrated with Windows as a development environment so take this with a grain of salt, but I'd set up the build environment in Linux if that's what you're trying to do. You could install Ubuntu on a bootable flash drive and work off of that.

It had worked the first night I had built, with it already being preflashed. And then the next morning, I went to go use it, and no keystroke registered. All I had done in the interim was weigh it on a kitchen scale.
So right now I'm just trying to get it reflashed and working. I had flashed it with a set up TADA 68 hex, but that only has Esc, 1-9 working correctly, and the QWERTY row is all off one key.
I'll see if using a VM will help. Otherwise, I've got an expensive paperweight on my hands.

Do you mean you actually flashed it with a Hex generated by the TADA online keymapper (or generated using QMK's TADA68 repository)? Because I don't think the two PCBs are compatible in terms of row and column layout
Oh, I definitely realized that after I flashed it. I guess I've gotta just keep at it, or see if there's anyone out there with the same layout of M65-A, and see if I can get their hex file.

I followed these instructions to set up the build environment on win 10 (https://docs.qmk.fm/build_environment_setup.html) and had no problems at all. In the jc65 repository (https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/tree/master/keyboards/jc65) you'll find 2 ready to use keymaps. From there you can compile the hex file for flashing using either one or make your own keymap. This one here helped as well (https://flashquark.com/how-to-flash-a-keyboard-with-qmk-on-windows/).
Running through another series of QC just to make sure some stuff isn't missed.

A bunch of units are just sitting here, ready to go, just waiting for the stabs. Just want to have it all here.

Good to hear. Could we get more info about the boards that opted out of stabs? Think a lot of us opted out figuring they'd be shipping earlier since we weren't waiting on them.

Nice pics everyone! I'm wondering, Mr. Chan, if those of us who opted-out of stabs are getting ours shipped out? I was hoping that by opting-out it would expedite the process, however I haven't seen an update since I started following the shipping progress.
Same thinking here, but if the stabs are coming next week I might as well just opt-out of the opt-out.

Hey Jchan, so if one opted out of stabs for quicker shipping, and stabs are there tomorrow but order hasn't shipped yet, will one be receiving stabs?

I'm with you. Don't get me wrong, I opted to wait for stabs (mostly because I just moved). I figured those who opted out would see more shipping over the past week.
Then again, it could be a double nightmare trying to add stabs to boxes that might be ready to go for this who opted out
I filled out the form to say I am okay with not getting stabs, if it meant the board gets here faster. It seems as though you'll be getting the stabs before even shipping my board out, so will the stabs be included?

+1 What's the dealio with the no-stabs orders? I figured those would have gone out last week. It's been almost two weeks since the last day of shipments according to post #2. Hopefully some movement this week!
I would hazard an assumption that if all the stabs are now here, everyone even if you opted out would get stabs if your board didn't get shipped yet.

No stabs orders have been set aside, and those should be going out tomorrow or the day after. There are only so many, and I have to manually process, look if they opted out, check the parts, repack them. It takes a while for a single box :p
Currently, my DHL account is on a hold for some reason, and I'm trying to clear that up today.
Hi jchan, did you go through your email and saw the one I sent you?
My M65-A is missing the PCB. Please advise.

August 18th! Do I snag an extra or wait for R2?! Anyone have an idea what retail price will be like vs group buy price?
Is the delay situation:
A. People who don't care about stabs can get their M-65A sooner than others.
B. People who don't care about stabs will get their M-65A later than others.
C. Not related to stabs at all.
1. Related to anodization of the keyboards.
2. Related to jchan's DHL account.
Follow-on bonus question: Are we going to have these in hand by:
Next week?
Within the month?
They have to go back to the factory (to-be-determined)?
Thank you.

Good morning jchan,
Just looking for a little bit more clarification as for the quality control issues. Is it all of the remaining M65's that are being sent back for quality control issues? Also, is it possible to inform the people that will be having their M65 sent back?
Thank you for all your hard work!

He told me that he has more extras than boards needing to be sent back, so this only delays the sale of extra units on his store, but not GB orders.

This is true, but you also mustn't forget, Keyclack is a legitimate business, and not a side job/project ontop of another job. It is unfortunate that this GB keeps running into delays, and I am sorry to hear you are going through difficult personal matters JChan. But legitimate businesses do need to remain accountable to their products - I am not saying he is not, just that yes, transparency is good, but also promised dates that keep being missed are not. Hope things are ok at home JChan, and I also hope that some of these boards will ship today as indicated a few posts above.

Extra Fun Fact:
Don't run GB's for more than 200 units :).
I'm totally bummed there won't be an R2, as I was stoked to get a purple M65 for Laser, but I can't really fault jchan or his thinking and I totally understand where he is coming from. People just need to chill. Your keyboard will ship when it's ready. Nothing you can do will make it ready any sooner.
What exactly do you define as "legitimate business"? This was a group but not a retail sale either way. And business or not, Jchan is still just one dude.

Haven't dealt with FedEx yet, but DHL was perfect in my books as they handle customs declaration/fees collection etc all by themselves in Europe via their processing center in Frankfurt, its super quick and painless. Will have to see how FedEx deals with it

FedEx is way worse here in Germany. DHL Express is insanely fast with customs and you only have to pay 15€ for the import service.
FedEx is totally different. The customs process almost always takes 3-4 days longer since they handle the packages over to GDSK for customs and you have to pay at least 30€ for their import service.
The only other service I can recommend is UPS, same import fees as DHL and also insanely fast.

So did anything ship yesterday?
What exactly do you define as "legitimate business"? This was a group but not a retail sale either way. And business or not, Jchan is still just one dude.
I feel like a lot of people are acting as if constantly asking for updates and knowing the current state somehow ensure the group buy goes faster and prevents people from being scammed or something. But all the nagging does is stress the runner out. Do you think he WANTS delays? That he's trying to make people squirm?
For example, asking him to ship stab orders without stabs and then ship stabs later sounds reasonable enough until you really consider what that means. That means he has to double his logistics. 2x the number of boxes to pack. 2x the labels to create. 2x the orders to track. All because people can't deal with a delay. How does that make sense?
I could totally understand if you were genuinely concerned that you might not receive what you ordered, but I don't feel like anyone feels that way. There is a reason Group Buys have all sorts of disclaimers. Delays happen, and there is nothing jchan can do about that. And it's not as if jchan is making stacks on any GB, especially not when you consider the time commitment.

When you buy into a group buy you are doing so fully understanding that delays can and will happen. If you don't want delays, don't get in a group buy. Being a "legitimate business" doesn't matter whatsoever when it comes to group buy delays. Delays happen on Massdrop all the time, which is a much, much larger company. There's nothing illegal or wrong about it. :thumb:

You kind of went off on a tangent here but I will try to clarify. For one, I don't think anyone asked him to ship stabs separately later. By opting out of stabs it was understood you would not be getting them, as a trade off to get your board out right away rather than wait for GMK shipment to come in. But last I heard the stabs were in US on Monday, and nothing has shipped in two weeks now. JChan is also very transparent and I definitely appreciate that, i think you got me wrong here, am not asking for more updates - he is bang on with those. Now that everything is in hand, any delays should not be out of his control, as you stated. Hopefully we are nearing the end of missed ship dates and we can all have our M65s before the end of the month.

Doesn't look like it. Hope all is well with your personal life JChan! Sounds like it is a bit better today, am glad for that. Hopefully the Pop up shop you have going on isn't taking away too much time from getting these orders out the door!
What exactly do you define as "legitimate business"? This was a group but not a retail sale either way. And business or not, Jchan is still just one dude.
I feel like a lot of people are acting as if constantly asking for updates and knowing the current state somehow ensure the group buy goes faster and prevents people from being scammed or something. But all the nagging does is stress the runner out. Do you think he WANTS delays? That he's trying to make people squirm?
For example, asking him to ship stab orders without stabs and then ship stabs later sounds reasonable enough until you really consider what that means. That means he has to double his logistics. 2x the number of boxes to pack. 2x the labels to create. 2x the orders to track. All because people can't deal with a delay. How does that make sense?
I could totally understand if you were genuinely concerned that you might not receive what you ordered, but I don't feel like anyone feels that way. There is a reason Group Buys have all sorts of disclaimers. Delays happen, and there is nothing jchan can do about that. And it's not as if jchan is making stacks on any GB, especially not when you consider the time commitment.
I'm totally bummed there won't be an R2, as I was stoked to get a purple M65 for Laser, but I can't really fault jchan or his thinking and I totally understand where he is coming from. People just need to chill. Your keyboard will ship when it's ready. Nothing you can do will make it ready any sooner.
You kind of went off on a tangent here but I will try to clarify. For one, I don't think anyone asked him to ship stabs separately later. By opting out of stabs it was understood you would not be getting them, as a trade off to get your board out right away rather than wait for GMK shipment to come in. But last I heard the stabs were in US on Monday, and nothing has shipped in two weeks now. JChan is also very transparent and I definitely appreciate that, i think you got me wrong here, am not asking for more updates - he is bang on with those. Now that everything is in hand, any delays should not be out of his control, as you stated. Hopefully we are nearing the end of missed ship dates and we can all have our M65s before the end of the month.
Well Said! I too, am wondering what the point of opt-ing out was..
Ayy at least now he has a bunch of free stabilizers he can sell on Keyclack. Wish we'll at least get the spacebar stab with our orders since only the 2u ones were "missing."
I don't know how much of a hassle USPS international shipping would be, but for me that would be the best option.
Just make sure all customs forms are included (the standard declaration sheet is not enough for commercial shipments), iirc they also require you to put a copy of the invoice and/or a different form on the outside of the package (in one of these glue on plastic bag thingies) so they will do the customs stuff when it arrives and maybe even deliver it to the recipient's door instead of "local" customs office.
Hi,
Post 2 is updated with shipments from this morning's haul.
Please check your emails later tonight for the 2AM emails I said I'd post + whoever is supposed to be getting an email later today, cheers.
I can wait forever now that I know I safely got some Grand Budapest :)
Thank you jchan!
Aye! The only set better for rose gold than Plum imoI can wait forever now that I know I safely got some Grand Budapest :)
Thank you jchan!
Snagged one from the pop up? Nice! It's a great set, I'm just not a fan of SA.

At this point will mid sept be a good estimate as to when we'll receive our orders? Never expected such a long delay from the estimated dates from the beginning of the group buy :/You'll get your orders when they ship. Is it really that hard to wait a little longer so he can ship them? He's maintained CONSTANT contact to inform everyone. as someone who missed R1 and was counting on extras or R2, it's pretty frustrating to know that peyote people who can't just read his updates messed that up for everyone. You've waited this long. Is it really this big of a deal to let him get them out on his own terms??

Whoah and it shipped on friday?.. and you’re in Germany? :O perhaps mine will be surprising me at home this evening.
I emailed jchan about a refund. If it is possible then that's another black m65 extra for someone when they are available.

I am a bit confused though. What's the current status? It seems shipping has started again?
I'm not in a major rush, I'm just trying to understand.
Just curious—my board was listed as shipped last week but I never received a shipping notice and it hasn't arrived. I'm in OR so I would imagine it should have been here by now. Any chance the shipping list is inaccurate and boards listed haven't gone out yet?

Yeah a few people now have received boards sent friday, none of us got notices but they here!
Instead of you guys asking for refunds, I'd gladly buy someone's black or space grey.It's easier for Jchan to give a refund then sell the extra later. Transferring orders is a tedious task and he's said he doesn't want to do it that way anymore.

Find it unlikely that someone in Germany received a board shipped Friday but I did not receive one shipped Friday only 10 hours north of jchan by car. What I was curios about was if some might not have actually been shipped yet but were listed as such.

Well mine was also in the Friday wave of shipment, and it's actually sitting at the local customs office pending the tax bill, so I find someone in Germany already getting theirs pretty believable, whatwith that legendary German efficiency... :p

Really though, I think he's doing his best to get them out. It's a huge undertaking, no doubt. Clearly he's feeling the pressure. As long as I continue to see boards shipping and communication continue, it's no big deal to wait a bit. (Still waiting on GMK Oblivion anyway!)
Jchan is cranking them out. From the GMK Muted thread yesterday:
"Hi,
Sorry for the lack of communication this past week.
The sets just landed today. I've hired someone at Keyclack finally, and we'll have this all out this week.
Sorry for all those of you that have been itching to get this set. I'm very happy that it's finally here and ready to get out.
...
PopUp finishes today.
Mc Rebirth is Wednesday.
M65A is Thursday
Muted is Friday."
I emailed jchan about a refund. If it is possible then that's another black m65 extra for someone when they are available.
Thanks for the heads up. Hopefully jchan will have some info once he's done with the R1 shipping fulfillment.

Update: Turns out my board DID ship last week, but via FedEx. That explains why it took a full week to arrive, FedEx is much slower than DHL in my area. It also explains why I didn't get and DHL text notification. That said, I never received a tracking number for the shipment so if you are in CONUS and were listed as shipping next week, you're probably in the same boat and will just receive a FedEx package at some point.
That said, now that I've received it, I do have an issue: Whether it was jchan or the factory, someone who did QC on this top part circled issues with either pencil or pen and the circles are impossible to remove. So while they circled small imperfections which are mostly ignorable, the CIRCLES THEMSELVES are not ignorable. I had 4 circles (two on the top face, one on each side). I managed to buff out and clean off two of them, but two are seemingly there forever, which is annoying. Further, the quality of the finish on this top part leaves something to be desired in several spots. Lots of little specs, a chamfer error on the right side, the inner top chamfer is not sharp, etc. Overall it looks fine but when you look closely it's not as sharp as I was hoping.
All that said, I'm thrilled to have the package in hand and look forward to building it tonight. Thanks for all the hard work, jchan, this is a really great kit.
Now, who wants pics? It's SG.

I'm OK with delays, and understand sh*t happens in life that you gotta deal with, but I'm also selfish and am SUPER jealous of the m65's I'm seeing in other people's hands!

Is it really too much to ask for updates and to expect Keyclack to keep their word?
Jchan, I emailed you regarding changing shipping address to a US proxy instead since you're unable to ship international. Let me know if that arrangement is possible.

How many successful group buys have you run where everything showed up 100% according to schedule?
It's not an easy thing. Why do you think 9 out of 10 kick starters never deliver according to their original timeline? Things happen outside of your control, you have to learn to deal with it. Unless Jchan says at some point that all boards have shipped and you don't get yours (at which point raise a ruckus) then just chill out.

Oh, of course. I was in the GMK Keyboard & Co GB for about a year and production hasn't even started yet. Out of the dozens of GBs I've been in, only one has ever met the initial ship date. My concern isn't about missing the original timeline - I really never expected that to be met even though Jchan was super optimistic (During the announcement he talked about how this GB won't have delays like the others). It's the constant "Will ship next week - [one or two weeks of silence] - [New unexpected delay] Will ship next week" - [one or two weeks of silence] - Repeat" that's gotten old.
Would much rather have been told to wait till September/October instead of hearing "Will ship this/next week" every couple of weeks since June. Again, just a realistic update instead of an overly optimistic new deadline that'll most likely be missed again anyway.

I think you misread. I said only one has ever been on time; all the others have been delayed by weeks and months.
Hi everyone,
Still here. Finishing up MC Rebirth, and then working on about the M65A this weekend. I have to clear the rear room where the pallets (from the M65A) are, to make room for the Muted pallet, and then move the pallets inside so I can start packing them. Who knew when you have a warehouse, you need to stay organized?
Anyways, thanks for understanding the time crunch. I'm really sorry for the whole delay in getting this out. At the end of the buy, I'll take you all through a ride of the process I've been going through. I wish I documented photos for everything, but I guess we can't dwell on the past.
In other news, things are looking up, and I'm so grateful that people are understanding of everything that is going on.
Last thing - Sorry I don't visit here everyday. I've been trying to be on my phone (when out) less often. I've noticed that it's a huge bad habit that I have nowadays, so sorry if my responses are less than optimal. Rest assured, that emails are being tended to at least once a day.
Hope you all have a great weekend, and spend it with loved ones. Cheers, and I'll keep you all updated.

R2 isn't happening any time soon not because people are expecting actual updates but because Keyclack took on too big of a task and is just too exhausted for another run. Seriously, how are you blaming theparticipantscustomers for this? Is it because too many of us bought into the GB when he removed the initial 200-order cutoff point for the GB? And if you're actually pissed off about that, I was in the first 200.
Actually, no one was in the first 200. I went in chronological order from the google sheets.

Hey everyone, even though I've already received my M65-A, I'd like to point a few things out, as I've been following this thread a bit:
Like in most GBs, I'm seeing some complaining in this thread, and I get it. Of course everyone wants perfectly accurate updates as often as possible and for their products to ship by the estimated time. That's a given. As customers, we want everything to be perfect and go as smooth as possible. For those that run GBs or are actually familiar with how they work, you know this is basically never possible. There are too many variables and logistic issues that can make a GB a living nightmare, not only for us, but even more-so with the vendor, because not only do they have to deal with the issue themselves, but also have to deal with all of us whining about this and that, then get hate when they try to keep up with everything, but miss something.
This may be an unpopular opinion, but when you voluntarily join a group buy like this one here, you should lose your right to complain about timelines, especially if you've been in a group buy before. Group buys are a complex thing, especially on this scale, and especially for one person to handle. Group buys are really not terribly different from buying a product via normal in-stock retail. The only difference is, instead of you doing the waiting, the vendor did the waiting for you. You never get to see all the back-end logistic issues, because you were never there. Delays are almost inevitable, and I know that putting your money in up-front should grant you certain privileges, but complaining when fairly normal GB things are happening should not be one of them. This GB is still much shorter than a lot of other ones, and even though there have been delays, they're really nothing terribly out of the ordinary, if you're a frequenter to group buys of this caliber. Having a handful of messed up parts needing replacements and not getting enough stabilizers, etc. These are all fairly minor issues in the grand scheme of a GB. Yes, it sucks you have to wait a little longer, but it's not like you won't receive your product. More-so, you're always free to ask for a refund, and he will happily oblige.
Could this GB have had a more realistic timeline? Sure, just like 99/100 GBs could. But when you put your money into it, you know you're going to be waiting and clearly you have the time for it, otherwise you would either not have joined, or waited for the extras to be in stock. Nobody should have the right to just whine about the timeline - particularly if you're used to GBs, and the GB runner is actually doing as much work as they can, which he is doing here. Jchan had to spend some of his work time in the hospital, and he's coordinating SEVERAL GBs right now. Did he bite off more than he can chew with the M65-A? Yeah, quite possibly, but he's still a genuine person and vendor, and you WILL get your items that you paid for. It's not like you're being scammed here. So please, just be patient, send words of kindness and encouragement, and look at all the pretty pictures of the M65 other people are posting. Whining about things that aren't going to change doesn't help anything, at all. Seriously, it's actually counter-productive. It doesn't make the vendor feel better or work harder. It just makes him feel disappointed in the community and unmotivated, especially if he has to spend time replying to people's hate mail, justifying himself, like I've seen in this thread a few times already. That's time when he can be putting actual work into the GBs themselves, instead of wasting it on us. I know that level of customer service is expected from a popular vendor like Jchan, but there have been TONS of updates in this thread, it's not like he's just ghosting on us.
Again, just please be patient and kind, because that's literally the fastest way to get your products. Keep up the hard work Jchan, I know first-hand how much work you do, and it makes me beyond tired just thinking about it. To all the people that support Jchan and this GB, keep it up. If you haven't been rewarded already, you will be when you open up that sweet sweet box of awesome that is the M65. :thumb:
I'm truly sorry, but again if you are not happy - please take the refund, PayPal fees are included as well.
Hope you all have a good weekend.
Jchan, sent you a PM on reddit and an email. Need to change shipping addresses since I'm moving.
I want to clarify some things.
1. Certain people did receive theirs, but if you're thinking about targeting Brian, he asked me a long time ago to bring it for the Seattle meetup. I took a few up there as carry on luggage.
2. The only thing I'm asking for is patience while I'm currently split between the hospital and work. While it's important to you to get a keyboard, it's important for me to visit my family.
3. You're allowed to complain, of course, but I think that you should give me a little break as I'm currently in the middle of what I'd like to call a break down from the amount of life that I'm dealing with. So please, give me a moment to stabilize life, my emotional state, and the work.
I've been in the hospital more this year, than I have my whole life. And whether it means anything to you, but my family is every thing to me. They will always take priority over any work, or keyboard, or anything in between.
4. If you're so unsatisfied with waiting, please just take a refund. Everyday I'm at the hospital, I just read the comments of what I haven't been doing, but I can only do so much at this current state.
All the boards are in - I need time to pack them. When you look at the number of boards I already packed, you don't consider how much time it still takes to process all the boards.and yes, despite being a vendor, it still takes a lot of time to do this in way you'll be satisfied with the board you get. I don't have to work weekends to do this - but I do, because I know how excited people are. And I've been itching to get this out. I don't want this sitting in my office, anymore than you do. If you wanted to know how efficiently I've been able to pack one, it takes about 15 minutes with qc not including loading them for dhl or FedEx.
And of course, if you're not happy with the state of where this is at - you are always welcomed to taking a refund.
I hope everyone understands where I'm at right now. It's the weekend, but I hope you all have a good one, and can expect these to go out as soon as they can. Thanks for understanding, and I hope these matters get resolved soon.
I'm truly sorry, but again if you are not happy - please take the refund, PayPal fees are included as well.

If you wanted to know how efficiently I've been able to pack one, it takes about 15 minutes with qc not including loading them for dhl or FedEx.
And of course, if you're not happy with the state of where this is at - you are always welcomed to taking a refund.
I hope everyone understands where I'm at right now. It's the weekend, but I hope you all have a good one, and can expect these to go out as soon as they can. Thanks for understanding, and I hope these matters get resolved soon.
I'm truly sorry, but again if you are not happy - please take the refund, PayPal fees are included as well.
Hope you all have a good weekend.
to be clear, i'm not complaining about the state of the gb and haven't been even though it is frustrating to not have the kit yet. i get that things happen and personally i want things to go well for you in both your business and personal lives. i was merely responding to quakemz and this idea that people shouldn't complain based on the norm that group buys seem to rarely go according to plan. that's a failure of the community as a whole and shouldn't serve as an excuse which can perpetuate the phenomenon.
i can critique some of the choices you've made but i don't think that's useful or frankly healthy for you. but coming from someone who has been in business for a while (and i'm sure other group buy runners can attest to this), people will complain. the scope and validity of those complaints will vary. how you respond to them is what matters. don't let them affect you personally. especially when your personal life requires so much of you emotionally. accept they exist, and to the extent they are valid, do your best to address them. offering a refund is a nice gesture.
I trust jchan to get me a great product and that the quality will be held to high standards. If it's not I know it will be fixed. That's why I was confident to join this GB. That still holds true
My only problem with this gb, and I think others would agree was the updated timelines you kept giving towards the end that weren't realistic. Personally id much rather just get a "hey there's going to be a month or so delay at least, I'm working my hardest but I can't give give a guarantee date due to real life events" I'd be okay with that. I just didn't like the oh it ships this Tuesday, then we don't hear anything for a week, then rinse repeat basically. Stuff like that just gets everyone's hopes up then they get crushed again. I think that's why most people were complaining so much.
Other then that Jchan do your thing man, family comes first and I can't wait to get this board and will still be joining future GBs run by you confidently. Have a good one man and hope things are getting better!

I want to clarify some things.
1. Certain people did receive theirs, but if you're thinking about targeting Brian, he asked me a long time ago to bring it for the Seattle meetup. I took a few up there as carry on luggage.
2. The only thing I'm asking for is patience while I'm currently split between the hospital and work. While it's important to you to get a keyboard, it's important for me to visit my family.
3. You're allowed to complain, of course, but I think that you should give me a little break as I'm currently in the middle of what I'd like to call a break down from the amount of life that I'm dealing with. So please, give me a moment to stabilize life, my emotional state, and the work.
I've been in the hospital more this year, than I have my whole life. And whether it means anything to you, but my family is every thing to me. They will always take priority over any work, or keyboard, or anything in between.
4. If you're so unsatisfied with waiting, please just take a refund. Everyday I'm at the hospital, I just read the comments of what I haven't been doing, but I can only do so much at this current state.

The problem is, whining about something doesn't do anything, except for maybe make YOU feel better. It doesn't change anything else. Nothing. GB runners and vendors are often at the mercy of the manufacturers. What you should be doing is complaining to them, instead of the middleman trying his hardest to get you your order. People have been whining about timelines in GBs for years, and guess what, it hasn't gotten any better. Know the risks of GBs when you enter them, that's what everyone needs to do. It's like complaining to your waitress that your food took too long to cook, when they didn't even make it, the cooks did. I've worked in customer service for 12 years, and it's that kind of mindset that makes everything such a pain in the ass.
i don't think you should discount the value of making oneself feel better. venting frustration is a valid emotional act.
and it communicates dissatisfaction with a certain process. it makes public that things aren't going the way it was expected. this allows others in the future (because of the posterity of threads) to determine whether they want to deal with similar issues in the future. i've watched many gbs lately run with delays and i've avoided certain gbs ran by certain groups because of past performance.
I swear some of y'all talk way too damn much.

I have everything everything essential for my build, but I keep going back and forth on whether or not I want to pick up some lube and SIP sockets to add. These delays and the lack of shipment on my order make me lean towards ordering some, but then I have hope that mine will be in the next shipment and that I'd rather do my build as soon as possible instead of waiting on more pieces after my M65-A gets here. Decisions, decisions...Make it Right instead of making it Quick

Didn't buy a M65A, but GMK Muted. The thread was so terrifyingly quiet without update so long that I had to lurk around and find out what the heck was going on. Yup, and I found this post.
Let's just point out a couple of things:
Keyclack is a business vendor taking crowdfunded orders, with a professional website and order management. It takes a cut and earns profits for every successful run. Needless to say, the profits come from participants' wallets. When jchan94 decided to run this as a one-man business, he was cutting operating costs at the expense of possible delays and shortage of manpower. The risk is now simply taking its tolls.
As a fellow community member, I'm entirely sympathetic with jchan's situation, and wish him the best.
As a business customer, I'm darn unhappy. I paid jchan to get things for me. He took his cut, and he failed, because he thought he didn't need to hire someone else as a backup to keep things in schedule. Worse, I had to do my own PI souring to find out what is going on, without a single update email. I and every GB participant has every right to complain and bring salt over.
You guys need to get the idea right: vendors are businesses operating for bucks. Some of them do nice things and are friendly sometimes. But the end of day, they mostly do it for a buck. And I'm not talking about any single vendor here.
I could go on way longer, but let's leave it at that.
Anyways,
I've decided to flip out and quit keyboards. jk.
I'll be packing about 30 boards tomorrow.
My whole personal thing situation should be better by next week.
Thanks for understanding everyone :)

Hi, thanks for your concern. I'm not going to defend myself, by stating some excuse, but let's talk about numbers.
I've never wanted to admit something, but here are some numbers for transparency, so you at least understand that I do some GBs for non-profit. I thought muted was a cool set, and I didn't think it would make it without a little push, and a better price point, so I put it near the edge. Muted was a special set. It was actually inspired a lot of Mewtwo rofl. But then I thought Mewtwo sounded silly.
Cost of GMK Muted (including customs, forwarding, paypal fees collected: 27106.8
Total collected from the GB: 26750
Net Profit: One Awesome set and I lost 356.8$ or so.
These numbers do not include:
- Sales tax (collected by the state, so they do not count)
- Shipping to end person (cause it's used for shipping).
- An hourly wage.
If I paid myself minimum wage, I'd say I would have to spend at least 60-80 hours organizing, customer service, packing stuff, and moving boxes.
Was it the best decision to make? Nah. It's completely stupid.
Then why do it? Because keycaps bro

The same reason people buy $120 from GB, wait, and sell the same thing for $180 on mechmarket. There's a demand from people who missed the GB.
During the course of a GB, plenty of people will lose interest and ask for refund. These will become the extras with outstanding invoices.

First of all, I'm not quoting anyone to say these. The markup in the leftover extras is a fact (GMK Muted base set was sold for $180 recently at the pop-up store). These are very basic and common thinking of someone trading on the market.
There might be other reasons for that I'm not aware of. But I'm assuming this for now, considering it being something common and justifiable. I'll wait for a response from jchan himself.
But yeah, again, the markups are a fact. So are refunds in the course of a GB.
Edit: grammar.

Yea, so why would there be a markup over the original invoice price if they are cancelled orders being resold by the original seller? Wouldn't Jchan just sell them at invoice price? He's not a flipper, he's the organizer of the group buy.

Because jchan is running a business, not a charity. When he puts down 5k$ of his own money to buy 30 extra units or whatever those numbers might be, then he is making a simple investment and expects a return on it. Same as him buying extra units for keysets etc. This is his job, he makes a profit so he doesn't have to flip burgers while running these GB's.
Regarding not selling refunded at initial cost: Would you? When people are refunding near the end of the GB and you got spare cash in your bank account and the item is already in very high demand, it's an easy opportunity to make some extra dough. Nothing immoral or shady going on here IMO.

I dunno. I have run some group buys for stuff (non-keeb) in the past. Nothing near this total cost, but I purchased the items in bulk myself, paid out of my own pocket, split the items into batches, and priced it at the lowest possible price I could in order to recoup my cost and end up with some of my own product at net 0 cost to me. That was it. I wasn't doing the GB to make a profit, I was doing it so that as many people as possible would have access to the product at the lowest possible price, myself included. So when people bailed on their orders I didn't mark up the price, I just offered it to the next person on the list at my original price.
But you weren't running this GB to make a living, correct? jchan does, so having extra cash in the companies bank account is assuring he doesn't have to close doors if he has a drought.
I've purchased extra units for GMK Oblivion myself as well and am handing them off at buying price to a couple friends because I just enjoy making keysets, I didn't buy those to flip em on arrival. But I also have a day job that pays for my rent and stuff.

This makes total sense, especially after seeing the numbers that JChan has been working with on the financial side. I'm curious to see where the prices end up. I wasn't in a place financially to get in initially, I'm hoping the extra's won't be priced out of my budget.

Edit: grammar.
Typically I only see markup in the resale market, not often do I see the creator sell their extras at markup. But I appreciate knowing you are just speculating and that JChan has not said anything to this effect. I'm curious to see how these extras end up pricing out.
I'm not talking about keycapsFirst of all, I'm not quoting anyone to say these. The markup in the leftover extras is a fact (GMK Muted base set was sold for $180 recently at the pop-up store). These are very basic and common thinking of someone trading on the market.
There might be other reasons for that I'm not aware of. But I'm assuming this for now, considering it being something common and justifiable. I'll wait for a response from jchan himself.
But yeah, again, the markups are a fact. So are refunds in the course of a GB.

Actually this is not the case. Vendors very often sell sets at a markup. Look at GMK sets on Oco, they all have a markup to $180. The Key Company sold leftover Terminal sets at a markup. Zfrontier sells leftover sets at a markup. Jchan sells leftover sets at a markup. It's pretty much the norm, not the exception.
Even Massdrop sells leftover sets at a markup during their stock clearance sale (GMK carbon was $99 during the group buy, but got marked up by a decent amount in their last closet sale)
Perhaps you've been been in this hobby longer than I have (I've only really been into the keycap side of this hobby for about 2 years), but as far as memory serves, markup for post-GB sales are the norm.
Will there be a price difference between the first gb and the extras?
yes
Why?
The same reason people buy $120 from GB, wait, and sell the same thing for $180 on mechmarket. There's a demand from people who missed the GB.
During the course of a GB, plenty of people will lose interest and ask for refund. These will become the extras with outstanding invoices.
Yea, so why would there be a markup over the original invoice price if they are cancelled orders being resold by the original seller? Wouldn't Jchan just sell them at invoice price? He's not a flipper, he's the organizer of the group buy.

As a business customer, I'm darn unhappy. I paid jchan to get things for me. He took his cut, and he failed, because he thought he didn't need to hire someone else as a backup to keep things in schedule. Worse, I had to do my own PI souring to find out what is going on, without a single update email. I and every GB participant has every right to complain and bring salt over.
You guys need to get the idea right: vendors are businesses operating for bucks. Some of them do nice things and are friendly sometimes. But the end of day, they mostly do it for a buck. And I'm not talking about any single vendor here.
I could go on way longer, but let's leave it at that.
Patience is really a virtue. Not to mention all the GB disclaimers that are posted. Yall would be TOO upset if the Consistent GB runners, like Jchan just quit because of some of you whining about week extensions. Jchan has communicated and remained transparent. GB's though Keyclack have always been A1. When issues arise they were communicated.
I check the thread for shipping updates, but yall's incessant whining is killing the vibe of such a great GB. We should be discussing our plans for what looks to be a very rare KB.
Dear JCHAN: You are the bomb, keep your head up and know that a majority of us appreciate your work and diligence to get these products out to us.

Let me start by saying I agree with you. JChan is the bomb and I'm stoked for my keyboard to get here. However, this isn't just a 1 or 2 week extension causing the salty-ness in here. The original ship date was late June and it's almost September. That is why people are getting upset and starting to ask for refunds.

Sorry, let me rephrase. I meant that my board already shipped with the August 18th/19th "wave", yet I've seen people on this thread who live much further away with their boards from the same shipment.
Regardless, good to see that things are moving along.

They are tight, can confirm. Mine isn't 100% lined up it seems, but push harder. I pushed hard af, and it got lined up enough to get the two screws in. Hopefully works for ya mate.

All refunded orders go into retail inventory

Well the reason some people opted for the refund was they couldn't wait anymore/didn't want to wait/needed the money now. Getting a refund now=money now. Waiting till it ships, arrives, and then selling it would mean waiting potentially a while longer for the cash. And it's way too much of a pain in the ass for Jchan to deal with the logistics of people selling their slots.
But then you still gotta deal with the waiting. Much easier to just say screw it and get a refund. It's what I would do. But won't of course, I'd much rather have the keyboard.
Jchan stay sane man. There are a lot of people who think you're awesome and really appreciate what you do. <3Waiting for the board to arrive and then send it to the person who bought it from you. It's an extra step and makes for a more complicated situation. Or they can get a refund and be done with it immediately.But then you still gotta deal with the waiting.

Eh, I mean he hasn't posted in the muted thread in a week either. I don't think there is any fear of his death as he has posted in the Budapest thread, but asking if there has been any progress isn't unwarranted. Sure its not the most diplomatic wording, but its something.
I mean I sent him an email last week as my M65 was included in the shipment on August 3rd and there has been no update to the Fedex tracking. I haven't gotten a response either and to be honest I am worried that Fedex lost it somewhere between Jchan and Fedex in Cali.
Just do us a favor and ask for a refund, I'm tired of seeing the public *****ing and moaning. Either that or if someone can PM me a way to ignore all posts from a certain user that would be great. Its complaining like this that are making R2 not happen and potentially driving the organizers of group buys to say "f it" and move to things like MassDrop

Does the tracking info denote if a signature is required? I didn't see anything saying one is needed on mine.
Got mine in the mail today! I'll take my crappy pictures later. The mat is beautiful. Will look better against the birch once I get my desk made in a couple weeks. Hopefully I can keep it clean...

Well, I feel for Jchan. He is going through a lot atm.
On the other hand, a lot of us put considerable amount of money into this GB which ended in january 2017. There is a lot of us who are still waiting for our boards, paypal refund deadline of 180 days is long over too.
We rightfully expect Jchan to stay professional and chime in on the situation. I really don't want another Ivan scenario to happen to be honest. But atm it looks like we won't see our boards and/or money anytime soon...

Before you request a refund, post your purchase for people to take over for you. There are a ton of us that didn't get in on this when it was available, completely understand the gravity of what JChan is going through and will happily wait years if it takes that long.

jchan has repeatedly stated he's not transferring slots anymore as it takes too much time to sort out. refund is the only option, and refunded units will go into retail stock

I think you get two choices right now -
1. wait - Might be weeks, might be months. Probably won't be years but who knows. You probably won't get much information in the interim.
2. Get a full refund, which jchan has said he'll process timely - which is more than he needs to offer right now, and should assuage any concerns about whether he will (ultimately) fulfill the orders.
I know you want the board (so do I), but I think if jchan had, even a ballpark of a timeline, he would have given it.
There's always so much talk of "community"... now's the time to show it's really there.
Hell, if I were in a position to do it, I'd offer to come help him knock it all out. Surely that would be a huge burden lifted off his back.
I totally get JChan, that he needs to take time to process everything and just be around loved ones more now, in this difficult time. I wish him all the best and totally understand the delays there have been so far. I'm assuming the added stress of having unshipped inventory and nagging customers is something he could really miss right now as well. I hope to see a post over the next couple of weeks "X is helping with/taking over shipping", no doubt there's people in JChan's network that can help out.

Someone else correct me if I'm wrong but I think jchan said he wasn't doing order transfers anymore since it was becoming too complicated.Before you request a refund, post your purchase for people to take over for you.

I just lost my dad to prostate cancer 3 weeks ago.
I know most of you guys have been waiting for your M65-A, I am not in a position to feel what you guys have felt as I was lucky to receive it on the 3rd day of the shipment.
But I plead for you guys to be more patient, with Jchan's track record I believe you guys have nothing to worry about (just the delay).
I just lost my dad to prostate cancer 3 weeks ago. He fought hard for 12 long years and it never really hit home till the last 3 weeks where he caught a cold and that did him in.
I hope you guys understand how hard it is to lose someone that close to you and till now I still cannot believe my dad is gone.
I believe what Jchan needs now is our understanding and time to be with his loved one.
When they're gone, nothing can be done to bring them back.
Your M65-A is just waiting to be QCed and shipped out.
Hi,
the new hire is charge of:
- Support (emails to support@keyclack.com NOT jchan@keyclack.com)
- Helping organizing / maintaining the office
- Shipping Store / Newly incoming things (muted, 1965 up and coming)
- QC soon.
The M65A is a little too complex at this stage of training. It's only been a little over a week since I've worked with him.
I'll be nailing away at some m65a this week once I have the chance. Hopefully we'll see GMK Muted pics up soon from people.
----------------------
I've responded to like 95% of emails ; and sent refunds to those of you who have asked. 5 more units available later, so that's good news.

thanks for all the understanding, and support everyone. I really appreciate it.

Just wanted to chime in here with some advice. I, like most have not received my keyboard. I am anxiously awaiting it, checking this thread constantly for updates.
Given the current circumstances, asking for updates and hoping shipping will start up again isn't helping our anxiousness, or Joseph's mental health. As far as we know, Joseph did hire someone but we have no idea if they deal with support or will get to the M65-as.
----
I think the best thing for both parties is to set up some realistic expectations. Hopefully this can clear the air a bit.
Before jumping to any conclusions, hopefully Joseph can chime in on what the future of M65-a shipment will be, and if his new hire is still around and working towards shipping them. Some updates about that would be most appreciated.
If no reliable forward progress is being made at this time, I think it would be better if we had an expectation of when shipment would start again in x months, rather than us being lost in the dark week by week. That way we wouldn't constantly be asking for updates, and Joseph can have time to recover. It would probably be easier logistically (shipment changes, refunds, etc). Note that theres always the refund option.
Just putting in my logical 2cents. I really want this keyboard, but not sure if its worth all the unnecessary drama and anticipation. Personally I'd prefer checking back in a couple months, rather than checking every other day for updates.

Agreed. Even if the update was "shipping will start in 6 months at a rate of 5 per month," I'd rather have that than no estimated timeline at all. I realize what jchan is going through, so I'm not going to complain about the shipping time, but I don't want to be left in the dark for months/years/who knows how long.

He did that before, and missed it. And people complained.
So give a more generous estimate. I don't think it's wrong to expect more than 2 choices, 'refund' or 'be patient', for this.
Ding Ding Ding. He's given viable choices. Choose one. He doesn't know when his situation will change, so anything he says will just be him saying something to placate the audience. Then the less empathetic members of the community will hold that against him.So give a more generous estimate. I don't think it's wrong to expect more than 2 choices, 'refund' or 'be patient', for this.
I think it is wrong to expect anything from someone who is going through what Jchan is going through.
Honestly, I think that something like that is the best idea because silence is worse than the waiting. Just like waiting for an update to an app or game, saying "hey we are aware there is an issue/bug and we are working to fix the problem ASAP"
Just a post once a week saying, "Sorry everyone, still busy" or "Hey everyone, I think I will be able to get some boards out"
Your right that it won't get the boards out any faster, but it will give everyone the impression to everyone who is complaining that their keyboards haven't been forgotten, that work is still being done, and a lot of the time, that is all anyone needs.
My coworker received his RAMA M65 last week, after typing on it, the slant is just too much for me... That being said, I am looking for someone with a Nightfox Order that would like to trade
I thought the case has an 8* tilt.. that's not very steep.
Posted this to r/mk, but figured I may as well post here as well. Running into some issues with my board...
Just recently built up my M65-A and unfortunately having some problems. Whenever I press Backspace, the \ | key also registers (the reverse is also true - when I press \ |, backspace registers).
This happens for a few other keys in the same vicinity as well: R shift and up arrow and with ] and \ |.
Luckily, I was able to take everything apart rather easily as I'm currently using hot swap sockets in my M65. I'm pretty certain these sockets are not the cause of the issue as I've used these sockets in my Minivan and Roadkit and have 0 problems. I used extremely little solder as well (just enough to get the sockets to stay), so I don't think that's the issue either.
Here's a picture of my PCB: https://imgur.com/a/yBZbb. It looks a little wonky cause I had to take it as a panorama to get close enough to see the soldering job.
I don't believe this is a firmware issue either. Even though it's my first time using QMK and creating my own QMK keymap, the same issue also happens when I flash the default keymap.
Any ideas? Any help is appreciated!

I have a few suggestions:
1. Test the PCB without any switches/stabilisers by shorting where the switch pins go to see if you still get both keys pressed
2. Are you using screw-in stabilisers? I've had this behaviour with some PCBs and screw in stabs, the screws short lines in the PCB (some PCBs are multilayer, they're more prone to this)
3. Check the solder around diodes to make sure nothing is shorted
4. Test the diodes with a multimeter in the affected area
5. Make sure the firmware is set up right
Someone that's better at electronics probably has more advice, but these are the steps that have worked for me with other builds.
Hmm I think I ****ed up my planning. Can someone who built theirs already confirm the key size for the right shift key?
edit: I think it's 1.75u
Going for the standard 2.75 would mean I forfeit either up arrow or pg down so I'll stick to the smaller one. But it's ok. I just realized the Danger Zone TKL set I bought for this has 2 1.75 caps lock. One regular and one with the "scoop" or whatever it's called so I'll just use one of those are right shift. I doubt I'll be able to find someone willing to sell a single 1.75u right shift key anyway.
Thanks for the confirmation though!

Anyone can help a noobie with programming the qmk MB? Or can point me in the right direction?
Thanks!
Before you request a refund, post your purchase for people to take over for you. There are a ton of us that didn't get in on this when it was available, completely understand the gravity of what JChan is going through and will happily wait years if it takes that long.
jchan has repeatedly stated he's not transferring slots anymore as it takes too much time to sort out. refund is the only option, and refunded units will go into retail stock

How about you go worry about yourself instead of policing what people are doing with their slots? If someone wants to sell me a slot and they forward me the item when it comes to them, it's literally none of your business and affects no one.

I'm sorry, but "post your purchase for people to take over for you." sounds to me like a transfer of slot. Obviously what you do after shipping is all up to you.
Plus... If you refund.. It can be sold through Keyclack at a higher price... So he can make more profit.Before you request a refund, post your purchase for people to take over for you.

Damn, I'm sorry guys, I wasn't trying to create an issue. I totally respect both JChan and Oblotzky's perspective and people's choice to trade their spots, at their risk, independent of the management, I was just trying to be helpful and proactive for all parties. Tensions are way too high surrounding this GB, we're all on the same side and we all want the same thing. There are so few positive and friendly internet communities and I like that, for the most part, this is one of them.

Wow, JChan has spent hundreds if not thousands of hours building this keyboard GB, meeting with and organizing multiple vendors across different continents and languages. Factoring in that, hes probably made less than minimum wage on this project and others all the while dealing with personal circumstances that would drive anyone to tears.
You're a real piece of work. This "community" is full of a bunch of people I'd love to never have to hear from ever again.
any idea on when more of these will be shipped out? still waiting on -164 here!

I feel like some posts in this thread should automatically trigger a refund if the OP was in the GB and otherwise ban you from further GBs... Djeez, the nerve on some people.
It's really weird to me. JChan and Rama created something that's so good, so desired, that people lose all decency now that there's a delay and they have to wait a bit. Like, are some of you gonna hold your M65-A once you get it, stroke it and hiss "My precioussss"?

In any case, some units should start shipping out this week, thanks for your patience.
I have a few refunds to process, for a few people that have contacted me, and I will get to those as well.
Did anyone not receive the screw in stabs with their order? Also, it looks like my plate has a gouge on one side due to manufacturing defect. Should i be contacting oblotzky or jchan directly? I was going to wait on this until after the heat dies down but hope you understand I wna start typing on this asap.

you people are nuts. bills still have to be paid regardless of what is going on in someone's life. what planet do you people live on??? I got screwed out of a company i built that shouldve been a lifechanger a few weeks back, if I was any of you apparently i would be sitting at home crying all day long instead of trying to make sure my mortgage can still get paid. Are people acting crazy when they should be fine with waiting a little longer? Yeah. But at the same time hes just asking what the guy is doing on a daily basis
You're nuts. Wanting to know what he's doing all day, etc. You're entitled to exactly what you got. The choice to get out or to hold fast. You're not entitled to anything other than that. You know jack **** about his finances, or how he's paying for his own life- and that's exactly as it should be. You're comparing apples to oranges, in all honesty.
I must have gotten the names mixed up. Jchan posted something about having someone else take over logistics, and I thought I saw your name associated with that.Did anyone not receive the screw in stabs with their order?

Hey, I am not employed by KeyClack if you got that impression. All support issues must go through support@keyclack.com. I'm just a very active member who has worked with jchan as the designer of another group buy :)
Thanks for understanding the gravity of the situation.
After some time to collect everything that is happening we're currently working on a plan and we're in therapy(aka treatment) mode.
---
I looked over the stabilizer packages and it seems that they are all missing screws (for the 2U) so I'll have to get those locally and then sort them to get this moving along.
Regarding some parts that are in Asia currently for reanodization - they are being fixed up but due to some week long holiday in the beginning of October those will be delayed.
----
In any case I've ordered extra units to help fulfill the people wanting extras. We'll have a lot of extra units so please don't hunt in the aftermarket for these.
----
We'll be moving M65A's sometime next week.

I really want to thank everyone for being understanding. I know that it doesn't look good on me and I completely accept the feelings you may harbor towards me.
Cheers & have a good Saturday.
Where will we be able to get the extras? I just really don't want to miss out!First post fam.
Nice good to hear this is moving forward man hope all is well. Is it the case that some of us are waiting on re anode from the factory? ThanksThe ones that are going back for re-ano are going to part of the extras. He used the extras he ordered to make sure that no one from the GB would have to wait for their case to be re-anodized.

I'm assuming you're referring to the screws for the stabilizers, correct? Since IIRC the actual board screws are already black.
If so, the stabilizers screws are M2x4mm
The screws that came with each kit came were different depending on the color case you got.

Hey guys, just wanted to keep the thread alive (and the hype!) and say I'm still psyched to get this beautiful piece of gear.
Hope everything continues to trend better for you jchan, and that you have enough time and patience for the hobby soon.

Yes, we get it, you all want to be kept up to date. There's still plenty of us waiting on their keebs. The solution has been posted many many times: either you ask for a refund or you wait.I dont think we are asking for much dude...
The situation sucks, but I chose to trust JChan's good standing. His absence leads me to assume nothing good is going on in his life right now and I hope he can process this in a proper way.

people need to stop suggesting "just get a refund" as a solution to the problem. Peopled have waited for months for a board. They have invested time and money into this project. They are entitled to updates and some semblance of responsibility to keep to the original timeline. People saying stop complaining and just get a refund seems like its kind of a slap in the face to gb participants who still want the board, but just want some sort of communication.

I definitely fall into that category, but I don't think we're entitled to jack. I trust that jchan will fulfill the orders so I will sit tight for now, while he sorts his life out. (Albeit checking this thread compulsively every day).
If you feel like you're entitled to anything more than a refund (technically you're not even entitled to that, since it's been >180 days), I suggest you go read the GB "caveat emptor" piece
You're welcome to your opinion but it still doesn't change the fact that, in good faith, consistent updates *should* be provided to gb members should the period delivery date get pushed past the original planned buy period. It's not even like Afrokobe is suggesting that we have our boards delivered, he's just asking for an update. You're literally shaming people for wanting a quick update once every 2 weeks. Regardless of the extenuating circumstances, this is pretty easy to provide as a group buy runner. If you're willing to wait without any kind of update, then seriously that's great, but it's ok for other people to want to hear some kind of update, too. This thread is literally designated for communication around this group buy, in a bidirectional sense. It's not unexpected to see that kind of communication happening in here.Yes, we get it, you all want to be kept up to date. There's still plenty of us waiting on their keebs.

I don't quite agree with this... there is almost a fiduciary responsibility when entering into a group buy. Buyers are placing their trust into a runner to deliver a product. I understand certain things come up, deadlines might not be met, quality standards might not be the same, but still there is trust given to a runner to deliver the best possible version of the imagined product. I agree people should be patient, but given that the gb has dragged on for quite sometime and people in Asia have received their boards for months, I feel like people are entitled to at least some form of communication on a constant basis. "Hey nothing happened today" "Two boards went out today" I don't think this is too much to ask.
Also the not being entitled to a refund given its >180 days is bull****. By that logic, gbs that take over >180 should all be immediately refunded. I think everyone understands their are risks involved in gbs, but doesnt mean the runners can't be held accountable for their actions.
people need to stop suggesting "just get a refund" as a solution to the problem. Peopled have waited for months for a board. They have invested time and money into this project. They are entitled to updates and some semblance of responsibility to keep to the original timeline. People saying stop complaining and just get a refund seems like its kind of a slap in the face to gb participants who still want the board, but just want some sort of communication.I’m sorry but the vast majority of people have only invested as much time as it takes to comment on forums. The only real people that have invested time are the people that have either helped design, manufacture or ship this board. Most people have only been waiting. Waiting time can hardly be called time lost because you were able to do other things in the mean time.

As for investing money you can get it all back and have literally lost nothing.
Really don’t want to start a flame war but saying that the people that bought into this have actually invested time disregards the people like Jchan, Rama, and others who have actually put in time they can’t get back.
I get that communication is important but if there’s no update then I doubt Jchan want to keep coming here and saying “no update yet” because then there will be those that complain saying that “no update” updates aren’t enough. Jchan has given a very solid alternative because of his failure to keep on schedule which is much more than other GBs have had in the past.

I think one problem is that his two latest updates in this thread mentioned shipping in the following week, one was September 19th, and the latest was September 23rd.Yeah, I get where they’re coming from and I’d be pretty annoyed with the delays and communication too but there is a concrete option that’s available. In other GBs we didn’t have that option and were forced to wait if we stuck past the PayPal protection window.
Now I'm ok with waiting and trust him but I can see how people would get annoyed at that. There's also been a few M65's up for sale on mechmarket so that might rile up some people too.
Again, not saying I agree, but I kind of understand where they are coming from.

But, if he had the time to make updates on his other threads, it would be nice if he chimed in here to let us know that we have not been forgotten about. Even if it is to say that he still cannot manage to ship the boards.
Yeah, okay. I've been waiting on this silently until now because jchan always managed to come up with some sort of status update.Yea u right...
However, at this moment I feel like he's just ignored the M65-A GB, and here's why:
On Sept. 23rd jchan said these would start shipping "sometime next week"
Sept. 30th came and nothing happened. Whatever, I'm sure there will be some sort update.
Oct. 2nd jchan made a few posts to his other threads, but was silent on M65-A. Anything would've been appreciated at this time.
Oct. 6th is jchan's last login, which was after several posts asking for any kind of update.
I'm not demanding shipping now. I'm not demanding a refund. I'm not saying he should explain what is going on in his life.

I don't know about other people, but this is my first experience (outside of massdrop with Godspeed) of having a group buy do this. I empathize with Jchan's situation (I had to carry my friend's casket in University after his fight with lymphoma), but tbh, I probably won't be buying anything else from Keyclack again. This whole experience has been a wake-up call to the realities of group buys that my excitement for the hobby blinded me from.
I'm sorry you're going through this kind of stuff, man. I wish you and your friend all the best.

You're not.Yes, we get it, you all want to be kept up to date. There's still plenty of us waiting on their keebs. The solution has been posted many many times: either you ask for a refund or you wait.I dont think we are asking for much dude...
The situation sucks, but I chose to trust JChan's good standing. His absence leads me to assume nothing good is going on in his life right now and I hope he can process this in a proper way.

I pointed it out before but was savagely accosted for suggesting that when someone is in the hospital, they're loved ones still have to go to work, school, etc.. They have to pay the bills and keep their life going. It would be extremely troubling to spend every waking moment in the hospital morning and shut down every other aspect of life. Not to be a **** or anything but this is reality.
They're acting like people are out of line or selfish for wanting to know what the deal is. I mean, half the stuff shipped out, why not just ship everything? Why go MIA from this entire forum?

I think a lot of people just feel that it's inconsiderate to tell him what he should be doing in the face of his trauma, to assume what he is going through based on their own experience, or to feel the need to remind him of his responsibility despite his situation.
And I don't think it's fair to call it savage, but you were the one to offer the 'get over it' group's harshest example of your perspective and you became the poster child for your sides view because of it, so most of the 'Blue Pill' white knights directed their frustration at you. Ultimately my side's perspective isn't going to change your side's perspective which isn't going to make JChan do anything differently, I think we are all just spinning our wheels ineffectually.

jchan currently only does refunds, no transferring of slots. Email support@keyclack.com to request a refund. ;)
What happened with the rest of the shipments? is the "message" just - take your refund or wait for the GB runner to get on top of a life situation? :blank:
Any invoice numbers that he's listed as shipped have all been delivered by this point as far as any of us know. If yours hasn't shipped yet then you can get a refund or wait however long it takes for them to ship.
That isn't 100% true. Mine was shipped in early August, but the tracking info never updated from "Label Created".
Yours hasn't shipped. Like it says, only the label has been created. It needs to be collected/dropped off.

Hey thanks for that! Unfortunately according to JChan, he doesn't have the package either.
, but I hate knowing that gorgeous board is just floating around in some warehouse somewhere!
If it was dropped off he should have a receipt. At that point, if there was insurance you'll need to file a claim with the USPS. (Might want to rush that... think it has to be filed within 30 days.) I was just through this myself. Dropped off a package containing a very early Model M and they lost it after it hit their NJ hub. Just disappeared. Very sad. On the bright side, they did eventually refund it all and I actually made a few extra bucks, but I hate knowing that gorgeous board is just floating around in some warehouse somewhere!

For what it's worth, it's probably not in a warehouse. Someone snagged it. Seen a FedEx employee snag a 55 inch tv and then the package was declared "lost".
If its a 30 day time period that a claim needs to be filed within, I'm already **** out of luck.
If it said label created and the tracking nevr updated then i would assume the package was never picked up. However if it was somehow picked up then i would be concerned
Yea thats strange. Hopefully it is still sitting in jchans warehouse and you can avoid dealing with the carrier :/If it said label created and the tracking nevr updated then i would assume the package was never picked up. However if it was somehow picked up then i would be concerned
This is what I am most worried about. According to JChan it was picked up along with all of the other packages on August 3rd however according to the FedEx Tracking there is nothing showing that the board was picked up. Per everyone's suggestions I just submitted a claim to see if that will shed any more light on the situation. I hope that they find the package as I have been looking forward to this buy for a long time and I don't mind waiting to get it. Well that and I don't want to have to fight for the leftovers when those go up for sale.
I'm starting to fear that this might become an IvanIvanovich kind of situation...
Things get stolen from the Kearny NJ hub all the timeYours hasn't shipped. Like it says, only the label has been created. It needs to be collected/dropped off.

Again, I truly sympathize, but wouldn’t it be better to at least finish shipping the items he has in hand, so he can finally be at peace with no remaining heavy burdens?

The burden's not about to get any lighter either. He's got GMK Oblivion, the 60% brass plates, and the ZKW-II artisans all coming in in like the next 2 weeks.
So...along with everyone else I’m respectfully requesting an update.
Some mention the option of a refund. I don’t think you have noticed the ones who have been waiting for a refund since the first week of September on the MC Rebirth group buy. I myself am currently still waiting for a response and refund from that group buy.
With that being said, I understand the situation JChan is in, but this is getting a little out of hand. If he has time to play and post Overwatch Gifs on Reddit last week (Which was deleted by him), then he should be able to provide updates and ship out the remaining goods.
Again, I truly sympathize, but wouldn’t it be better to at least finish shipping the items he has in hand, so he can finally be at peace with no remaining heavy burdens?. I’m just surprised no one has written a complaint against Keyclack with the Better Business Bureau, Federal Trade Comission, etc.,. Everyone is very forgiving and thoughtful, but this is your money people, I think you deserve updates and your item.
And again, just in case it was missed, I truly do sympathize, but if I had duties I would see that they were attended to immediately, but that’s just me of course, I don’t speak for everyone.
Is there anyone in this thread who has asked for a refund, but hasn't received a response?

I do feel as though there has been no action regarding my refund and be it that I'm in need of that refund should be able to sell the spot, have JChan still ship the item to me and I can take card of shipping to the individual once I receive the board. Is that something that would still be frowned upon? I get it that times are tough and I understand tough for JChan and I'm sure he is in a difficult spot. I really hope things get better for this GB.

That would be perfectly fine, but I'm pretty sure a refund would be processed earlier than shipment of more units.

Right on. If anyone is still interested in the spot please PM. If I hear anything back from Jchan regarding the refund, I will post that I have heard back from Jchan.
"deepthroat"
So cryptic
According to the "updates," approximately 150 of 450 orders have been shipped so far. Jchan received the shipment on July 19th, and has promised many times that shipping would be "quick" and "easy." We are all sympathetic for him and his personal situation, but remember that he presents Keyclack as a small professional business. He stood in front of all of us at the Seattle meetup and boasted about how he "built his business from the ground up," his transition to doing Keyclack full-time, buying a Prius because of it, and how he goes to great lengths to ensure his business exceeds expectations. I'm sure Jchan has spent a fair amount of time in the hospital, and we all respect that, but it seems he spends his free time playing video games and updating instagram about his "BKE Domes" project instead of fulfilling his responsibility to his customers. I'm less than satisfied, and I will not be ordering from Keyclack again.Wow this is very detailed but also shows the ride we have been on. Just to let everyone know I did get a pm from Jchan on slack yesterday saying that he is working on everything. He also offered a sincere apology. However that being said I am in the camp that thinks these are not shipped because of issues with the boards. Maybe they are in China getting the anode redone. This is only speculation but after getting the run around for so long that is all i can do is speculate.
Here's a condensed timeline of "updates" related to shipping and receiving:

"deepthroat"
So cryptic
Considering how earlier on whenever anyone asked for an update they were attacked for being insensitive (some of those attacks were justified due to the posters lack of moral sensitivity). The vast majority were attacked for a fairly reasonable request for a simple post. I don't blame them use of an alt.
He also offered a sincere apology.
Wow this is very detailed but also shows the ride we have been on. Just to let everyone know I did get a pm from Jchan on slack yesterday saying that he is working on everything. He also offered a sincere apology. However that being said I am in the camp that thinks these are not shipped because of issues with the boards. Maybe they are in China getting the anode redone. This is only speculation but after getting the run around for so long that is all i can do is speculate.
Like i said dude im just speculating and its the only thing that makes sense. Dont want to start any rumors but the last update we got he mentioned boards in anode would we delayed due to the holiday in ChinaWow this is very detailed but also shows the ride we have been on.

If they were all sent back to get the ano redone, why wouldn't he just say that? That would be incredibly understandable as far as group buys go.

According to the "updates," approximately 150 of 450 orders have been shipped so far. Jchan received the shipment on July 19th, and has promised many times that shipping would be "quick" and "easy." We are all sympathetic for him and his personal situation, but remember that he presents Keyclack as a small professional business. He stood in front of all of us at the Seattle meetup and boasted about how he "built his business from the ground up," his transition to doing Keyclack full-time, buying a Prius because of it, and how he goes to great lengths to ensure his business exceeds expectations. I'm sure Jchan has spent a fair amount of time in the hospital, and we all respect that, but it seems he spends his free time playing video games and updating instagram about his "BKE Domes" project instead of fulfilling his responsibility to his customers. I'm less than satisfied, and I will not be ordering from Keyclack again.Thanks deepthroat for putting the time and effort for condensing all the relevant dates and updates for us. For those who don't have time to go through the whole thread to find updates, I think this easily shows how long we have been waiting patiently. In addition, I do agree that from a business perspective, it has gone on long enough that it is not insensitive to say that this is unacceptable.
Here's a condensed timeline of "updates" related to shipping and receiving:
Original Timeline
Estimated Group Buy Period : Approximately 10 - 12 Weeks.
January 7 - 11: Accept Submissions
January 12-14: Invoicing
January 17: Invoice Payment Due
January 19: Submit Payment to Manufacturers
About 50 work days later (excluding CNY 1-23 to 2-8 & Freight Time): Bulk Shipment Arrives
About 1 Week: QC for all the parts.
About 3 Days: Shipping
April 24, 2017

Hi,
the new hire is charge of:
- Support (emails to support@keyclack.com NOT jchan@keyclack.com)
- Helping organizing / maintaining the office
- Shipping Store / Newly incoming things (muted, 1965 up and coming)
- QC soon.
The M65A is a little too complex at this stage of training. It's only been a little over a week since I've worked with him.
Day 4 is done.
Day 5 will be dedicated towards pure QC, and putting units away and documentation to get fixed up a little. Just need to make sure they are actual issues, and clean them up with some 120grit sand paper (jk).
Day 2,3,4 emails will be sent today. Sorry, haven't had a moment to catch a breath.
- Quality Control should finish by Monday/Tuesday for all the boards.
The stabs should be here soon, and QA/QC is almost done with.
News Update
Just about done with QC.
Also, I'm finishing up QC and then finishing shipping what I have. It's a lot sorting for those opting out of stabs and those in, and such. Literally a stack here with people who want stabs.
Running through another series of QC just to make sure some stuff isn't missed.
Calling DHL to pick up the unaccepted units to go back to Asia to get fixed later this week.
A bunch of units are just sitting here, ready to go, just waiting for the stabs. Just want to have it all here.
Thanks for your patience.
Oh, of course. I was in the GMK Keyboard & Co GB for about a year and production hasn't even started yet. Out of the dozens of GBs I've been in, only one has ever met the initial ship date. My concern isn't about missing the original timeline - I really never expected that to be met even though Jchan was super optimistic (During the announcement he talked about how this GB won't have delays like the others). It's the constant "Will ship next week - [one or two weeks of silence] - [New unexpected delay] Will ship next week" - [one or two weeks of silence] - Repeat" that's gotten old.
Would much rather have been told to wait till September/October instead of hearing "Will ship this/next week" every couple of weeks since June. Again, just a realistic update instead of an overly optimistic new deadline that'll most likely be missed again anyway.
Hi Anthony,
I've been trying to ship boards every week.
A GB for a quality board is not just
- Design
- Order
- Pay
- Wait
- Ship out.
There is so much more organization involved in the process.
Here are many things that I do on the back end
- Talk to Customs
- Talk to a Customs Broker
- Wait for the shipment
- Make wire transfer for payments
- Ask for updates on the shipment
- Organize people's orders
- Refund people's cancels
- Adjust people's orders
- Send replacements/support stuff / email stuff / change emails
- QC 450 boards (over 1200 pieces, plate, weight, etc)
But there's a tad more to the QC process. You've seen how the boards are packed, but I also have to open the boxes, throw away the other boxes, make sure there's enough room in my dumpster, and such.
While I don't want to bore people with the little things that I do, I feel like it's now necessary to tell you that there is a lot of trash that I have to take care of with this. The boxes for this took me 4 trips to the recycling center in my Prius because I couldn't fit them all.
I also had to take 2 trips to DHL to drop off the parts that are bad because I had to pack them well in a lot of wrap to make sure they don't get damaged in transit, and try to compact them so I don't pay thousands in express air fees. Please also remember that it takes me time to load my car, move the boxes, reorganize, and such to stay optimal and efficient.
Anthony - I want to reiterate that there's a lot more to a GB than just shipping a board. A lot of people try to hide this process because it's boring and these details are not that important. I understand your frustration, but please understand that I'm frustrated that I don't have enough hours in my day to get everything out.
I hope this helps shed a little more light to what GB runners go through, and I hope people empathize with the process and stress that it takes for us to do this kind of stuff. I hope this in no way discourages people from running their own Buys, but it's definitely taken a toll on me.

Throughout the delays a few people that have received theirs have said the same thing.
I don't have a problem with waiting, and I think that is the same with most people (or I would imagine there would be a flood of people asking for refunds)...
The problems I have are with the inconsistencies in his updates (which I have ignored until now) and his lack of updates on this particular buy while he took the time to update other threads (which is what prompted me to speak up after being silent until now).
The M65-A is (as far as I know) jchan's biggest buy, his most expensive, and his most hyped and delayed product. And yet, this was the one he ignored that day when he made updates.

I can't imagine the amount of pressure jchan must feel at this point, both from a life side, and keeb/business side - everyone wants updates, and many of us are begging even for a "nothing new" update. In reality, however, any update he makes, short of "all boards are being shipped today" will be met with some criticism.
I am fortunate enough to not really need my $350 currently, and will gladly wait as long as needed(even well into 2018 if that's what it takes), because this is the best board I've ever seen. It is a bit concerning if refunds are not being processed in a timely manner though - this might lead to a panic for some people, which will only detract from the situation.
I feel for Jchan. I do feel a little panicked though. Not too sure what to do at the moment.
I feel for Jchan. I do feel a little panicked though. Not too sure what to do at the moment.
There's been three full pages of complaining but what it all boils down to is:
a) We wait and get our boards/refunds.
b) We wait and all get Ivan'd.
It sucks, but those are our options unless you're going to drive to LA and drag jchan to FedEx by the ear.
Also, people posting with alts and spreading vitriol is just dragging the forum down and souring the whole thing even further. Jchan's reputation was one of the reasons I was willing to take a chance on this in the first place. I'm confident he's acutely aware that reputation is burning by the day. If he intends to continue with KeyClack he'll try and stop that ASAP. If not, see option B above.
I'm somewhat new to the community and I keep seeing these references to Ivan. What happened?

It is a bit concerning if refunds are not being processed in a timely manner though - this might lead to a panic for some people, which will only detract from the situation.
VERY popular GB runner is running multiple gbs at the same time, has a personal problem, starts to come less and less to geekhack, breaks communication, runs of with thousands of dollars of group buy money.
Jchan is at the "slowly coming less and less to GH" phase
Here's my HIGHLY speculative theory of a "worst-case scenario." I CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH THAT THIS IS SPECULATION - it is not intended to cast anyone in a negative light (except maybe one unknown individual, which I'll explain), nor is it intended to cause chaos in this thread, speculation ONLY, based on a largely unverifiable source I was able to dig up online.There's no way he did the order personally, you just wouldn't do that when you own a company. If he had a theft he should've come on here and told everyone. This whole dragging it out and ignoring the conversation is going to destroy his company, as it has many others in the past.

June/July - jchan hits some unexpected delays with production, stabs, etc. - common in group buys
Late July/August - Boards begin shipping at a decent rate, lots of QC, but movement.
Mid-August - life kicks in HARD, jchan obviously is dealing with a whirlwind of gigantic proportions - it is entirely understandable that he takes a step back for a moment to deal with it.
Late august thru September - Updates trickle in, jchan is dealing with life, and we are all (mostly) understanding
Sept 23rd - jchan's last update to this thread - says m65's will start moving next week
***SPECULATION PART***
through crimereports.com(my largely unverifiable source), there was a burglary reported on the block keyclack's warehouse is located (I won't post it, but it's pretty easy to find with a search) on September 29th around 7PM
I'm speculating that the M65-A's were stolen from Keyclack headquarters.
If this is the case, it would put jchan in an extremely tough situation(on top of life stuff) - especially if they were uninsured/not covered.
The question would arise whether this group buy was done under keyclack, or personally through mr. Chan himself. If it was the former, the legal implications could be crippling for Keyclack, and if it was the latter, crippling for jchan himself.

If I'm being a total moron and causing issues just for speculating, I hope that jchan will say so. Hopefully he can swoop in and clear everything up.

Day 2 is over, and today I got through a lot more than expected.
There are boards that have this small anodization issues, but our amazing manufacturer is going to fix them. The anodization issue is only apparent when you shine light on it a certain direction. But it bugs the hell out of me.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/KLYaYVO.jpg)
I should be done with most of the gb this Friday, and then I will be forwarding the units to them, and they will be fixed in a week or two.
Extra units are being used to make sure everyone gets their unit within the GB. After that, the units that come back will be used for extras, and we'll have our r2 colors as well.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/cPaPeRj.jpg)
Recent posts have me panicked too, but look at how big and how many of these things there are. It would have taken a few guys and/or a big-ass truck to run off with so many boxes. That is assuming a thief would even identify these as something of value.It is a good day.Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/qFDcihq.jpg)Day 2 is over, and today I got through a lot more than expected.

Fortunately, nothing of that sort has happened.

Yeah, there's no justification to think that's what's happened, and it's probably best if we just drop it. No need for misinformation to spread.Yes, because your tactics have yielded such tremendous results. No way could anything like that have happened! Like it doesn't happen every day in the real world.
There's enough to deal with already without needing a heist sub-plot.

Anyone know where I could get a new resistor? Or what I can do to diagnose the other key?

After all this time still haven't shipped all board yet. Who the **** don't get bumps in life? If I am in the same situation as he is, or hell, even all of my family, friends and my leg amputated, I will buckle the **** up and ship every single thing that I owned someone no matter how much it cost, I will even consider using the fund from my life insurance of all of my dead family members just to achieve it.Jokes aside i understand your frustration. All we can do at the moment however is wait for a relevant update.
To those who get your board half years ago and saying" be well soon Jchan" **** you. And **** whatever you stand for.
Oh, and to those ****tard who say "you didn't invest anything but money, don't ***** about it" well, money don't ****ing work that way, the value of money is equal to the "work" people "invested" to get the money, and money tends to increase value (positively or negatively). You take the money to a casino and at least you have a possibility of increasing it's value. This project is now becomes one of those dead loan, the value of your invoice keep decreasing since the
uncertainty of the board being delivered is getting higher over time, and we have all the right to chace around the board, not get our cash back, we(I) am not that kind of a person to throw money into project with 0 or negative gain.
Frustration is one thing. Violating GH TOS for personal attacks and language is another. Not understanding the risks for delay and failure associated with a speculative group buy for a product that has never been produced before is yet another. Admittedly being in the GB for their own profit with little or no consideration for how GBs are only possible through the continued contributions of individuals of this community is icing on the cake.If this was reddit, I'd upvote you so hard.
Combine it all together and you get a statement so ugly and ridiculous that its easier to see it as satire than to believe it comes from a human being sitting behind a keyboard who really believes what they type.

Jchan, family should always come first. I was very touched by your speech here in Seattle when you said your mom was very proud of you. I can see how important family is to you, no need to apologize for it.
In other news, I'd still love to have a chance at an M65-A. LOL.

Welcome to mechanical keyboards.
I just asked for a refund hours before he posted an update :(
And you are correct. I am just talking about the time value of money. I like the board so much that I already bought switches and caps for it, those delivered on time. I am not going to filp it for literaril money profit no matter what.Kingpin didn't say he/she was trying to flip an M65-A for profit nor do I think it was intended that way.

You are wrong to expect everyone to operate the same way that you do. I'm not saying how you would handle that situation is wrong, but despite disagreeing you should be a supportive member of the community.
Ask JChan if there is any way you can help him with what is clearly a difficult and impactful struggle for him, not tell him how he can serve you better. Because this isn't a business, it's a community.
You're not talking about the actions of the owner or proprietor of Keyclack, you are talking about the actions of a community member of a forum. You aren't demanding updates from Keyclack and insinuating their family is less important than your time, you are making that demand of a community member. Of a forum. If you have a problem with a transaction you made through Keyclack I suggest you communicate that to them. This is a community, as I stated earlier. Not Keyclack.

You're being a ****. Your time isn't valuable enough to justify it.
Let me ask you some questions.
What makes you feel when you are left out?
What makes you feel when most of the board's were shipped but not yours?
What makes you feel when there are a indifference of treatment on people?
Is that "valuable" enough to justify it?
You're both talking to a wall.
Kind of interested, but when would they be shipped considering everything?
We're clearing everything up soon.
We have other things coming in, but the bigger projects (m65a, 1965) are left up to me, where the store (retail like this, and stock we have on hand) is handled by my employee.
Cheers, thanks Xondat. GL on your gb btw.
edit for Clarity: Retail is immediately available and ships in 1-3 business days after purchase. This includes domes, and other sets we have on hand.

Kind of explains why movement is happening with projects a little smaller; he still needs income to keep Keyclack floating, and shipping domes isn't exactly difficult.

Adding to deepthroat's post, there is something that's been bothering me about the some of the updates we've been given. I've just been trying to ignore it, but at this point why not just air it out?
At one point jchan was asked about his new hire, and if he could ship out the M65-As and the response given was:Hi,
the new hire is charge of:
- Support (emails to support@keyclack.com NOT jchan@keyclack.com)
- Helping organizing / maintaining the office
- Shipping Store / Newly incoming things (muted, 1965 up and coming)
- QC soon.
The M65A is a little too complex at this stage of training. It's only been a little over a week since I've worked with him.
This response bothered me a LOT. Maybe more than it should but I did my best to ignore it and trust in the reputation jchan has in this community.
Hear me out and then tell me if I'm wrong to be bothered by this.
When jchan discovered he was short on stabs he dedicated his time to doing purely QC on all the units. I assumed this was so every unit would be ready to ship once the stabs arrived. Remember, he was only missing 2u stabs, each box would get the same number of 2u stabs and be ready to go.Day 4 is done.
Day 5 will be dedicated towards pure QC, and putting units away and documentation to get fixed up a little. Just need to make sure they are actual issues, and clean them up with some 120grit sand paper (jk).
Day 2,3,4 emails will be sent today. Sorry, haven't had a moment to catch a breath.- Quality Control should finish by Monday/Tuesday for all the boards.The stabs should be here soon, and QA/QC is almost done with.News Update
Just about done with QC.Also, I'm finishing up QC and then finishing shipping what I have. It's a lot sorting for those opting out of stabs and those in, and such. Literally a stack here with people who want stabs.Running through another series of QC just to make sure some stuff isn't missed.
Calling DHL to pick up the unaccepted units to go back to Asia to get fixed later this week.
A bunch of units are just sitting here, ready to go, just waiting for the stabs. Just want to have it all here.
Thanks for your patience.
Here it seems like jchan is finishing up a 2nd round of QC for the boards. Double check, I can get with that.
but then...Oh, of course. I was in the GMK Keyboard & Co GB for about a year and production hasn't even started yet. Out of the dozens of GBs I've been in, only one has ever met the initial ship date. My concern isn't about missing the original timeline - I really never expected that to be met even though Jchan was super optimistic (During the announcement he talked about how this GB won't have delays like the others). It's the constant "Will ship next week - [one or two weeks of silence] - [New unexpected delay] Will ship next week" - [one or two weeks of silence] - Repeat" that's gotten old.
Would much rather have been told to wait till September/October instead of hearing "Will ship this/next week" every couple of weeks since June. Again, just a realistic update instead of an overly optimistic new deadline that'll most likely be missed again anyway.
Hi Anthony,
I've been trying to ship boards every week.
A GB for a quality board is not just
- Design
- Order
- Pay
- Wait
- Ship out.
There is so much more organization involved in the process.
Here are many things that I do on the back end
- Talk to Customs
- Talk to a Customs Broker
- Wait for the shipment
- Make wire transfer for payments
- Ask for updates on the shipment
- Organize people's orders
- Refund people's cancels
- Adjust people's orders
- Send replacements/support stuff / email stuff / change emails
- QC 450 boards (over 1200 pieces, plate, weight, etc)
But there's a tad more to the QC process. You've seen how the boards are packed, but I also have to open the boxes, throw away the other boxes, make sure there's enough room in my dumpster, and such.
While I don't want to bore people with the little things that I do, I feel like it's now necessary to tell you that there is a lot of trash that I have to take care of with this. The boxes for this took me 4 trips to the recycling center in my Prius because I couldn't fit them all.
I also had to take 2 trips to DHL to drop off the parts that are bad because I had to pack them well in a lot of wrap to make sure they don't get damaged in transit, and try to compact them so I don't pay thousands in express air fees. Please also remember that it takes me time to load my car, move the boxes, reorganize, and such to stay optimal and efficient.
Anthony - I want to reiterate that there's a lot more to a GB than just shipping a board. A lot of people try to hide this process because it's boring and these details are not that important. I understand your frustration, but please understand that I'm frustrated that I don't have enough hours in my day to get everything out.
I hope this helps shed a little more light to what GB runners go through, and I hope people empathize with the process and stress that it takes for us to do this kind of stuff. I hope this in no way discourages people from running their own Buys, but it's definitely taken a toll on me.
Here, in order to explain the delays, jchan makes a list of tasks that are irrelevant to the delay (design, order, pay wait, etc..) all the way to tasks that should've been taken care of through the process of 2 rounds of QC.
At this point, I expected all of the boards to be QC'd, boxed up and ready to ship once a set of 2u stabs were thrown in the box... something that maybe a new hire is capable of doing?
But jchan says that this order is too complex for the new hire. It's just not making sense to me.
Sounds like QC isn't done. If it's done, I can't imagine that packing and dropping boxes off to FedEx can be that complicated for an employee to do.
Sounds like QC isn't done. If it's done, I can't imagine that packing and dropping boxes off to FedEx can be that complicated for an employee to do.
That was my point.
Running through another series of QC just to make sure some stuff isn't missed.
Calling DHL to pick up the unaccepted units to go back to Asia to get fixed later this week.
A bunch of units are just sitting here, ready to go, just waiting for the stabs. Just want to have it all here.
Thanks for your patience.
Regarding some parts that are in Asia currently for reanodization - they are being fixed up but due to some week long holiday in the beginning of October those will be delayed.
This is my first post on this thread and I've been holding myself back for some time but it's now getting really infuriating.
I didn't want to complain because I respect Jchan's personal matters and difficulties but the lack of communication has become absurd.
Not only am I still waiting for the M-65 but I still haven't received my Grand Budapest, the set which I designed ! .... because I had asked Jchan way back to ship them together. I have emailed him twice already and all I got was a vague 'it might take a while'. I'm sorry but it's already two months overdue and we still have no idea when they're shipping!? This is really unprofessional. Oh and btw, Jchan had also promised me 30% of the profit on the Grand Budapest extras sale, that never came in either. I respect your situation Jchan, I have never complained before but now it's just coming off as dishonest. Apologies for the rant--

Wait... he "promised" you 30% of group buy profits? Nice. That's a pretty sweet deal. I do hope you got something in writing, though.

This is horrible to hear and I hope JChan makes things right.
The lack of updates and false promises is indeed frustrating.
I’ve messaged JChan/Support a few times this month concerning the status of my refund for the MC Rebirth group buy, but never received a reply.
He posted stating he was going to handle refunds last week, but I received nothing.
Said he was going to handle refunds yesterday. Nothing yet. :(
I don’t think JChan is the type to swindle people, however I’d appreciate if he’d stay true to his word, as a few minutes of assistance can go a long way.
My biggest fear is the next group buy where someone goes MIA due to X situation. Some people wouldn’t notice until it’s too late. For future buys, keep in mind the 6 month PayPal protection window and how you have to be within 365 days for complaints to the Better Business Bureau (This only applies to accredited businesses).

Hi,
I haven't processed that one because we're still waiting on resolution, but we did now.
---
Regarding Budapest: we're still not sold out of it. We have about 10 complete (40s / tkl sets) on hand still, and once those are done with, the payment will be going to you Madeo, the designer of Budapest.

Hope this clears things up regardless of how this looks.

So ive said a few times that I thought the delay was due to bunk boards. Everyone jumped and said I was wrong. Well apparently someone talked to jchan the other night and the delay is indeed the manufacturer. I think everyone in the buy deserves the truth.

Hi everyone,Very najs update. Thanks dude
Just a little update. We got the units we sent back from reanodization yesterday and today, and I'm a tad disappointed at the finish. These were units we sent back to get repaired from initial issues we saw.
There are some anodization issues. Here is the most prevalent issue, that bugs me very much. It's hard to capture in photo, but at certain angles of light, you can see that there is some type of different color shine to these. The issue is not just that tiny mark, but it's across the whole back side of the board. The base piece better represents the issue that we're seeing, but it's more prevalent on the top piece.
After a heated discussion this week with the manufacturer, we came to the conclusion that they would remake the units affected, and also fix the units we send back to them (for a second attempt to reanodize).
In order to hurdle over this issue, we've order more units to make sure we are 100% good to go. These will take 3 weeks to get to us. This was done in case I discover more units that have this issue as I repackage them to send out.
Again to Note: this issue is apparent a long the whole backside, but is hard to capture in a photo and is apparent in the units they sent back to us. This is the most common issue we found on the units received and I'm reviewing the pieces we have on hand.
If I would describe it, its something a long the lines of, a darker stain that shouldn't be there.Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/eOBbdbV.jpg)Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/kFiF824.jpg)
A note on the remaining units
We're working on pumping out about a few every day to make sure they arrive properly. USPS has given us some issues with some we sent out, and to this date, there are a total of 5 orders that have gone missing: 1 from FedEx, and 4 from USPS.
Nothing more is needed from you except some more patience, as I plan to deliver a high quality keyboard to your fingers.
If you have concerns, just email support@keyclack.com for refunds, or what have you.

No worries Tally. I've been working on this post since yesterday. The past 48 hours have been intense to get to where we are. I've had to stay up til about 4am just so we could make sure everything was in order and that I had their direct attention so we can make sure we deliver the board we promised.
Despite the hurdle, and endless hours of chatting, they have been nothing but great to us, and are amazing for doing everything that they already have for us.
I hope this ends soon - and thanks for the patience mate.

No idea what the problem with the del is.
Pretty obvious that a resistor is missing from the home key. I feel like I could fix that one if I knew what part to buy to replace it.
Not bashing any QC here, most likely was from me moving the board around when soldering

Would love to buy one if they ever hit the store.
ps do you have Godspeed Calculus by chance? I'd love to get my hands on that kit some day.
FYI I got a shipping email from jchan that evening. Although he isn't posting the numbers in the thread like before, orders definitely seem to be going out. I will note that my tracking info is "not found" for now, but I expect that to be a weekend anomaly.

Nothing against you KINGPIN, because I actually agree with everything you've posted thus far, but If I were JChan, I'd totally ensure yours (and mine and a few others) were the last to go out.

Good to see FEDEX making a move on those boards that are going out.

He has said he probably won't. Though he has an unknown amount of extras which will be sold once every unit of the group buy has been shipped.
Hopefully the shipping picks up over the next few weeks, but at the current pace could be quite some time before we see extras

By any chance is there any keyboards that someone wanted to sell or left over from people that made a paypal claim. If you have one and would like to sell it pm me.
Extras are going live Nov 1st.Are the remaining 100 all international? Or some domestic as well?
Also,125 packages were sent out as of this moment (some awaiting pickup from usps). Mostly domestic, so international will be done this week.
About 100 remain at this stage.

Love the pics. No two are the same! But the vast majority of pictures don't have the under glow on. 100 imaginary internet points for the first person to post a set of low light under glow pics, preferably with some different custom color schemes!
Did everyone just totally ignore my underglow gif or something?
At some point in time I'd be interested in buying more/extra rubber feet. I have two base plates and only one set of feet :P (first world problems I know)

Same here. I'd actually forgotten about my acrylic base.
Quick update.
We'll have 40 units going out by Friday. We're double checking all the units again to make sure there is nothing missed.
Cheers.

20 or so packed today. We'll be sending out emails in an hour or so.
thanks for the patience everyone. Slowly going through it all.

Wanted to clarify another reason we're going a tad slower:
In the past month, due to our shipping volume (not just Keyclack), we've had about 5 M65A's lost.
In addition to that, we've had 3 GMK Muted Packages lost, and we're making sure we send out a few at a time to that the sorting facility isn't overwhelmed by our packages.
Thanks everyone!

is there a list which ones got sent out, and which ones got lost? (is international shipping again now?)
thanks for your effort Joseph :)

i'll update the list by Friday.
For the lost ones, we've already talked to the people who the boards were supposed to go to, as they contacted us about tracking going no where.
The shipments are not "domestic" or "international" focused, as they come in as whatever we get.
If there are DHL ones, I make a DHL trip. If it is, domestic, we have USPS/Fedex pick it up.

Just got a shipping notification from Keyclack and got super excited then I checked the invoice and it was my 60% brass plate I ordered a few months ago. Why you gotta be such a tease, JChan?!
I'm curious, about how many of us are left now?

Only complaint is that the tolerances on the brass plate are really low, which means many switches were crooked and I had to reflow most of them.

The problem lies with the Aristotle stem, not the brass plate.
Try replacing a couple of crookedstotles with regular Cherry MX switches and see if there's a difference.
This is 100% true. Aristotle stems are crooked. I’ve had the same issue. I gave up on Aristotles after the new click bar Kailhs. Worse than the crooked stems is keycap fit. My SA caps were so loose they actually stuck to my fingers and came off while typing. That was the straw that broke the camel’s back for me.

Oh god, the loose keycaps still give me nightmares to this day, they've gotten me killed several times while gaming whenever they decide to pop off. Ripster's tape mod (http://i.imgur.com/poLbH.jpg) helps but is probably not worth the trouble.
I really want to try Kailh box whites, but I've been told its bark is greater than its bite (i.e. nice click but poor tactility).

Go box pale blue for more tactility. Or box Navy for really strong tactility. The only clicky more tactile is a pandastotle.

That is correct. Box white are not very tactile. But still, it’s better than crooked stems and falling off caps. And yeah, I already dread modding my costar inserts with plastic wrap every time I switch caps, so I’m not about to do that on every keycap.
I like the pale box blues and the speed bronze. I have a sample of the new dark blue box that are supposed to have a thicker click bar. In theory it should be perfect. In my opinion, however, they don’t feel right on the upstroke when click bar resets.

I've heard a couple people, including anthonyooiszewen who runs a custom build service and streams his builds, have run into issues with Kailh Box's stems being crooked. He takes a lot of care to check his switches are properly seated and aligned and found a bunch of his Burnt Orange box's had crooked stems. See here: Just a warning to those using them.

Isn't the Pale Blue just a White with a heavier spring?
Just finished soldering tonight and noticed that my brass weight is completely mirrored - without the M-65A text :o. Did I miss something, or wasn't that supposed to be etched on?

it was $20 more than nylon when purchased with the kit, $85 for an extra.
I think we have about 120 that remain.

just flashed my qmk pcb. if anyone needs some guidance, pm me and I'll try to point you in the right direction. alternately, I'd be willing to create a hex for you and just show you how to burn it.. skip the whole build process.

Thanks guys. Never heard why mine is blank or whether anyone else got a blank one. I guess it was a mistake but I'm not complaining - still works and looks good :thumb:
Nope. When I took out the K, the rest of them worked, so I must have messed it up worse than I thought. I just ended up ordering a sentraq board to replace it and started desoldering the switches.Damn rip. Did you try the flywire to any other switches and have a different result?
A bunch. I was so confused how nothing was working. I basically hand wired the k in there and still nothing. I definitely need to work on my desoldering, though. I only get a clean removal of the solder like, half the time... at least the sentraq board is almost the same. Gonna miss the split space bar, though. Now that IC has released the PCB design for the K-type, maybe it time to finally work on my own design (with full RGB)Well damn man that sucks to hear. Does the sentraq PCB fit in the M65-A case?

Sentraq PCBs have north facing LEDs which can be a bit of a deal breaker if you plan on using GMK caps
I actually own that already, but sometimes the solder is stuck down in the channel and I can’t get it out.Yeah I've had that problem a few times as well. It also doesn't work well on the LED holes and I have to end up using my soldering iron to heat up the solder so I can suck it out. I still love it 10x more than using a wick!
Do they get caught or something?
If you're having a big issue with it, send support@keyclack.com and we can issue a replacement pcb at a discounted price.Ooh baby, music to my ears. Fingers crossed.

Regarding the remaining shipments, I'll be shipping a bunch today, and sending out the trackings. I expect that at least 50 of you will get tracking today.
One of the pins on the switch I put in was bent, and got sandwiched between the board and the switch. Didn’t notice till I already soldered the other pinDid you try another switch in the same socket? Or did it damage the PCB itself

Out of curiousity, how did you originally mess up the soldering? I'm nervous about soldering for the first time so I want to see what I need to avoid.Flux, use lots of flux.
Flux, use lots of flux

Seriously, biggest mistake made by the inexperienced.
Over-fluxing can just be fixed in the cleanup with some Alcohol.
I'll second this. Flux is absolutely critical to making clean joints. Only takes a tiny bit on each joint, but everything flows out so much nicer.

If worried, get a starter-level kit you solder from RadioShack.

kester 44Yea for soldering switches and LEDs I wouldn't think flux is necessary. However I do use flux when in doing smd components and small stuff.
that's that ****
you really shouldn't need extra flux for a keyboard unless you're doing something very wrong

Yikes, this happened on 2 or 3 of my switches but I noticed before soldering either pin. I was able to pop them back out and straightened the pin before soldering it to the PCB. I haven't experienced any damage to the PCB from the switch pins getting squashed.63/37 solder has a slightly lower melting point than 60/40. If you're soldering by hand you won't be able to tell the difference but in industrial settings where a higher melting temperature means you have to spend more money on power, they go for the one with the lower melting temperature.
And for solder, I've always used 60/40 rosin core for keyboards. For this project, I ordered some "fancy" Kester 63/37 rosin core. Not sure that the composition of the solder made a difference, but thinner wire is easier to work with. I considered picking up some flux too, but I read that you probably won't need it unless you're desoldering and I did not miss it during assembly.
What town do these ship from? I have a shipment from a place I don’t recognize and I’m out of town.I have El Monte on my tracking.

Hi everyone,I just ordered something from Keyclack (emailed support@ about it), for once I hope my package isn't in the pile and hope they can be combined (hopefully dodging some import taxes) :p

Any news about the time to run r2 of this?
By the way, I got the Sentraq to fit by just snipping off a little of the PCB at the top. It came close to the traces for LEDs, but I was able to avoid them.
I'll be using the extra one Jchan is sending me with the brass plate. Then I'll be able to swap it out whenever I want split bars vs whole.
Speaking of my mistakes, I've been using leadless solder to try to save my brain a little. I'm assuming it's why I had a bunch of difficulty (that, and I didn't switch to my fine tip while desoldering before). Switching and patience really helped.

If it's the fumes you are worried about, those from lead free solder are actually much more harmful due to having to use much more active flux.

I'll be using the extra one Jchan is sending me with the brass plate. Then I'll be able to swap it out whenever I want split bars vs whole.
Speaking of my mistakes, I've been using leadless solder to try to save my brain a little. I'm assuming it's why I had a bunch of difficulty (that, and I didn't switch to my fine tip while desoldering before). Switching and patience really helped.

I think they’re being pretty liberal with the word “absorber”. Smoke mover might be more accurate.
Hi everyone,
Sorry tracking wasn't sent out. You'll get it tomorrow and it'll go out on Friday
Humbly request you send these out soon, J, so people can receive them and they don't sit unguarded on our front steps...
Humbly request you send these out soon, J, so people can receive them and they don't sit unguarded on our front steps... Also, coming up on a year... It would be nice if this were prioritized over other sale products, such as domes and topre pins.

I know that shipping/QA-ing rubber domes is very different than m65-a's, but it still stings to see so much traction on so many other things :(
Since joining this group buy, my wife and I have begun trying for a baby, conceived, and are now expecting our first on new year's eve! Here's hoping that my baby isn't brought into a cold, unforgiving world without an m65-a for her!
I will continue to wait patiently

I've seen Jchan recently say that R2 will be after all R1 gets shipped out. This may just be extras, I think he has enough interest after people have seen completed boards that he could run another full buy successfully.Any news about the time to run r2 of this?
For now they say no r2

I would personally like a chance to place an order as I only started looking into custom builds a few months ago.

I saw it on this thread, he answered someone's question I believe about R2. He may have meant extras or the question may have been about extras like I said but I definitely saw after R1 are all shipped more will be up for sale.I've seen Jchan recently say that R2 will be after all R1 gets shipped out.

Where did you see that, and how recently? Last he posted in this thread was no R2. He will be putting extras on his site, however.

Congrats! We're in much the same boat. Since joining this buy my wife and I had a complicated miscarry, surgery for it, recovery from that, and then a successful one! We're expecting mid-March.
Hope your wife's pregnancy has been calmer than ours though. My wife's had a rough go of it so far. I'm hoping the M-65a's show soon so I can give the wife hers, every little distraction seems to count lately.

I've received a tracking number, so there's some going out at least.
Anyone know if these tracking confirmations that JChan sends out are automated or something? Reason I ask is that I just got mine a few minutes ago which I'm happy about but I'm more curious that it's like 3am and literally the middle of the night over in LA atm.

Pretty sure they're not automatic, as there was an error in my shipping address and JChan (or whoever was answering the emails) was replying within minutes.
Lastly, I'm currently working on a small "gift" that I'd like to give all original participants, that will be 100% free (just cover postage), but that will be revealed at a later stage, and the message will be sent to your email once I have the gift in hand, and the GB is 100% fulfilled.

This has tickled my curiosity. That said, isn't it like 4am? Appreciate the dedication you're putting in to getting the rest of the boards sent out, but go to bed already!
Out of curiousity, in the extra pieces (even the B stock stuff), do you have any spare aluminum bottoms? I'm very much considering switching over from nylon since I won't be using the underglow anyway.
Had to double check.... yep I did order a m65-A. Guess I’m one of the lucky few unshipped. Save the best for last, right? Right?
mine still hasn't shipped either, we can all wait together! Hopefully the rest will all go out soon.

I've ordered extra rubber feet, if people are interested in those.
We'll likely have them up with the retail kits as an addon option (not replacement), addon, as the pricing was not accounted for, and was an oversight when we put the extra base option.
Same, it's hard to decide which base to choose, both are nifty.I've ordered extra rubber feet, if people are interested in those.

hi everyone,
i'm sorry for not being able to meet last week's shipping date.
tldr: worst thanksgiving ever, and it's kinda dragged out through the whole weekend.
i'd rather not go into details, but it felt like one of those "reality tv shows" that some enjoy watching.

Anyways, I've already emailed all the tracking for whatever has been packed. I might have sent 2 trackings out, but I sent it out in the same thread. Please ignore the first one..
If you got a tracking, and are wondering what address is has been sent to, please reply to that email. I used the most updated tracking I have (according to whatever recent email you sent to me).

We are currently almost fulfilled with the GB.
We have (at this point) 60 outstanding units to ship out.
We currently have 80 extra units that can be claimed, most likely sometime in December, and shipped via DHL/FEDEX ONLY (because of holidays).
We also currently have about 30 or so units that are considered "B" stock due to some QC issues that I just can't give to GB participants - however, the boards will be sold with a detailed "defects" list when sold later. These are units, that cannot be fixed due to a slight CNC issue, that is (for some boards) somewhat unnoticeable.
---
Now I've been getting some emails concerning brass plates extras this, and extra something that.
Sometime in January, I will have new plates available for purchase (no gb), if anyone is interested. Most likely I'll get 50 units of brass plates, identical to the ones that people have received.
Only original GB participants can claim these.

I hope all concerns have been addressed & have a good morning to those on the East Coast.
edit:
if you have a concern, just email jchan@keyclack.com with your M65A order number as the thread title. I'll be addressing those personally, as I've been running around and haven't had a moment for anything these days.

Yup, that’s correct. You’ll need to buy the feet for your base. Like Jchan said, it was an oversight.I've ordered extra rubber feet, if people are interested in those.

I'm confused on the wording of this. Does this mean that if we purchased an extra base, there are no extra included rubber feet for them?
Maybe it's the cold meds but I had a dream today of an M65-A made completely out of mirrored brass.

I think to get a perfect unit it was like 3k + or something, and it didn't scale properly with more units purchased; for SS.
I forgot the brass version cost, but I can revisit that. Maybe I can get a few units made for that one. Would be really nice to have in PVD w/ Mirror Black, Gold, and Silver of course.
My biggest fear however is damage for it. The slightest scratch would make me cry.

I would be interested in a raw aluminum case, if that's a possibility. I'd really like to do a mirror polish and custom ano.

Aluminium Oxide is porous, I am unsure if you can anodise aluminium and shiny finish at the same time. Never seen it done before
See the iPhone 7 jet black which - although black - is just anodised and polished and super shiny/close to mirror finish
I'm assuming it's normal the tracking hasn't updated from "Awaiting item" since Wednesday morning right? I think I recall you saying they pick them up on certain days?

Guys, I'm wondering what is total cost of the whole thing shipped (to US) and assembled.
Guys, I'm wondering what is total cost of the whole thing shipped (to US) and assembled.
The cost when the group buy opened or the cost now that its on Mechmarket? Because if its the latter I've been seeing those puppies go for $600-$700.

Well if you could go back in time and join the group buy last January, it would cost you somewhere along these lines (price will vary I'm giving you an estimate based on the options i chose)
M65-a (This includes the regular pcb not QMK, the nylon base, the regular plate not brass, eight, and space grey case, gmk screw in stabilizers): $285 + $50 Shipping
~75 zealios 65g switches: $60 +$10 shipping
Coiled cable: ~$35 including shipping
Keycaps: Well I spent $250 on SA Danger zone because that's because I'm insane.
So total so far I'm looking at about $700 and its not assembled yet.
Again your mileage will vary based on options you choose.

I would email keyclack support. You probably need a replacement. I’m sure it’s fixable but will require some troubleshooting and proper equipment.
Did you test it before you built it?
If you want to take close up photos of the back of the PCB we can take a look here.

You gotta factor in "flip potential".
Are the extras going to be sold here? And what will be the price?

I hope when you sell your extras, your markup isn't going to be huge. Mechmini 2.0 had a 100% markup and only recently decreased that by 50% for black Friday sale and has been at the price ever since. And he still has many color options remaining.
I guess people are not happy with the markup and Mechkeys is finding it difficult to sell his remaining units.
Question to those of you with non-updating tracking numbers... have you seen any progress yet?Mine was on route to Los Angeles to be then transferred to Canada but it got rerouted to Louisville where it's currently, still on it's way to Montreal. I can only assume the fires in LA California last week played a role in this?
I got my tracking number last Thursday (11/30) via FedEx, with an estimated delivery of Friday (12/08). It sat on "Shipping Label Created" all week, but I figured FedEx might be doing something wonky with the holidays. With that said... It's now 12/10 and it's still on "Shipping Label Created".
Anybody else in the same boat?

I was assuming that mine was at the bottom of the pile but that can be your spot. I'll be the next one up from the very bottom of the pile!
Hey jchan, I sent you an email before the weekend, but just in case that slipped through the cracks-- my tracking number still has not updated from 11/30 and it just says label created.
@jchan94
Just letting you, I've been on the phone with Canada Post and USPS for the last couple of days, neither seem to be able to find my package anywhere. USPS says they gave it to CP 3 days ago. CP says they never got it.
I'm waiting for a call back with an update but they mentioned the sender might have to be the one to start an official inquiry.

Good update. I just got a call from Canada Post. They say it was part of the holiday delays but the package has been found and the tracking number has been updated.Oh man, really happy for you! I'm still hoping mine turn up as well.
What a relief!
He replied to my email within an hour or two today.Good update. I just got a call from Canada Post. They say it was part of the holiday delays but the package has been found and the tracking number has been updated.Oh man, really happy for you! I'm still hoping mine turn up as well.

I hope JChan is doing well. I hear from multiple people that he's not responding to Skype etc.
At least you guys got tracking... Anyone else still without tracking until now? :'(As of last update there are still 53 boards that haven't shipped, so 53 of us still don't have tracking.
Mine was sent out on the 29th of Nov and arrived today. Despite my board being one of those caught up in the delay having now assembled it and using it as of now I can say this board is, without doubt, worth the wait of any delay.Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/vH23dSh.jpeg)

Dang, that looks nice and clean. What switches did you put in it?
Mine showed up today! Sadly, one corner of the box is slightly crushed (thanks, FedEx) but the contents all seem fine.Mine showed up today too! Box was fine, but there seems to be a small bit of discoloration in the finish on the top of the case. I'd much rather have a crushed box.
A E S T H E T I CDang, that looks nice and clean. What switches did you put in it?
Unlubed cherry clears with 62g SPRiT springs for the alphas, same for the mods except I used cherry tactile greys to colour match the grey granite caps. Don't know why I colour matched them when you can't even see them :)) oh well at least i'll know.Show Image(https://imgur.com/C6R7x9Y.jpeg)
First time soldering question: If I accidentally soldered a switch into the wrong hole (regular caps lock vs stepped caps lock for example), technically that switch is the only one I need to desolder to replace it? I don't need to desolder everything do I?Nah, just that one switch and you will be good to go
We have (at this point) 60 outstanding units to ship out.
Just packed a dozen more just now.
53 / 448 are left.
I got around to building my M65-A today. I sadly ended up making some costly mistakes. Luckily, in the end everything works as expected.

Nice build Brammy good thing you got it turned around in the end~!
@people; I have a QMK /PCB related question. Today when I turned on my PC I noticed two pairs of keys had switched. I have a split backspace with backslash programmed on the left key 1u and backspace is where backslash usually is. My bottom row has a 6.25u space and starts with Control, Win, Alt. Win and Alt were somehow swapped today as well as backspace and backslash. I cleared the EEPROM and make'd and reflash a fresh .hex file which somehow fixed the swapped backspace and backslash. Win and Alt were still swapped. I reconfigured the keymap.H file to swap K41 (previously Win) with K43 (previously Alt) and now the keys are all back in the right order. It makes it a bit confusing though for example I will probably forget the next time when I edit the keymap. Has anyone ever had this happen, and know how to reset or fix this? I think it might have happened during a PC reboot cycle as I also had an issue with the underglow not turning off when the PC was off.
Anyone else bootmapper pcb keeps on disconnecting and connecting back randomly?
Probably a dumb question, but did you try a different usb cable?
Sorry probably should've included some information. Tried 3 different USB cables and 2 computers. Pretty sure its the pcb.
I would email keyclack support. You probably need a replacement. I’m sure it’s fixable but will require some troubleshooting and proper equipment.
Did you test it before you built it?
If you want to take close up photos of the back of the PCB we can take a look here.
Oh yeah it was working for months and all of a sudden issues started happening. Didn't spill water or anything like that.
any update on the 50 unshipped boards?
The delay is indeed getting out of hand. Not an exact comparison, but VicG's silent black had 96k switches to sort through and got them done in a week.
Let's be real here j Chan has had these boards for 5 months so I don't think time has been an issue. These people that are still waiting deserve their boards soon as they have been pretty damn patient. That being said I did receive my board and everything looks great.The delay is indeed getting out of hand. Not an exact comparison, but VicG's silent black had 96k switches to sort through and got them done in a week.
Bad comparison. He just had to count out switches.
And there were proxies, so he didn't even have to count all 96K

Thanks so much, that sounds very plausible! I wasn't able to reset it before though, I am using QMK toolbox in windows to flash. How did you manage to undo the swap with a reset and reflash? I will program these commands on a layer somewhere so I can unswap if it happens again.
Flashing the new hex file unswapped everything somehow, but I programmed keys in a third layer to unswap keys if needed in the future. Hope it works, this is my layout (with the code in properties): http://www.keyboard-layout-editor.com/#/gists/f415c3cafd81d2191c2daa5536aa7e6d

Sounds like you got it resolved, but I'll try to answer your question and elaborate a little bit more.
First, I had to reset the eeprom using the instructions here:
https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/tree/master/quantum/tools
That is, erase and overwrite with the "eeprom_reset" hex file provided in that folder of the repository. After that, I flashed my own JC65 keymap again and the swapped keys were back to normal. Note that I did all of this from a linux terminal so I don't know how/if these translate to Windows.
Having those keys to unswap in the future is the best solution I can think of. Since all the bootmagic keys were activated together in my case, it might be possible to program a macro that toggles all the bootmagic options with a single button. It could be easier than undoing them all individually.

Guys, tried to flash my M65 qmk pcb and encountered a weird behavior:
The KC_ESC and KC_GRV key are somehow swapped.
Spent like two hours to figure that out! Any idea?
On day 1, he packed and shipped 29 boards. This could be over in 2 days of good, solid work.
My suspicion is that there are problems with the remaining boards, and that he is waiting for replacements.
Because if it isn't that, the only other explanation I can think of is that he is too depressed to send them out.
In any case, three emails to support@keyclack.com and multiple posts I've made here have gone unanswered.
I love Rama's design, but this has been pretty poorly handled in terms of customer support and transparency.

could be the same issue that was just discussed. "swap_grave_esc" is a bootmagic toggle. you might try programming "MAGIC_UNSWAP_GRAVE_ESC" to a key and see if hitting that returns ESC and GRV to normal.
Hi, the M65 is my first keyboard and this is my first post! I put mine together after just recently getting it, but I think mine has a defective PCB. Certain keys are always registered together, and it's down one column of the keyboard. The ones I'm having issues with are 0 and -, p and [ , ; and ' , / and right shift. To me, it seems like it'd be a electrical issue, but even after reflowing a few diodes and resistors the issues still exists. Furthermore, I've tinkered with the firmware a bit, swapping out mappings and such, and the same issue always happens. If somebody knows a fix, or how to get in touch for a PCB and plate replacement, I'd appreciate it.That sounds like a broken trace, you probably could fix it with a jump wire, but you'd need someone more qualified then me to figure out where to put the jump

If multiple are registered together there is most likely one spot of solder touching multiple switch pads or perhaps a diode. Basically a short.
I’ve also had this issue with screw in stabilizers where the screw was touching a switch pad. Can you upload a photo or two of your pcb for us to help troubleshoot? Will need closeup shots
Thanks for the advice, everybody. I went and checked my soldering, but it looks like nothing had made an accidental bridge. I'll post a full picture of the board tomorrow though, since the lighting is abysmal at night where I am. I also did a bit of a sanity check and looked through things with a multimeter too and I did notice that there's continuity between all the switches I'm having issues with, which hints that maybe there's a diode the wrong way or something is left open when it should be closed.

I'm not expecting to hear anything until at least Tuesday. Have a feeling JChan took the holidays off. Hopefully he comes back rested and ready to finish this all off.
My partner now has a running joke about me getting "scammed out of my birthday gift to myself." I was born in April, so the joke is getting just a little bit tired.

- Holtites on everything and soldered in
I thought this board wasn't holtite-compatible. How did this go for you? Any snags to watch out for? Would be awesome to have that ability, so I'm definitely curious to hear how it went before digging into my build.
Couldn’t you just put holtites on the switch legs, assemble through plate, solder to pcb, then remove switches if needed?
Be VERY VERY careful with the halfpads as they are extremely flimsy on this PCB (at least they were on mine, rip my pipe and split backspace locations).

Does that explain why I ripped out a pad (https://i.imgur.com/7uiy1Gf.jpg) when I had to desolder a switch?
Still waiting for an update on the remaining boards that have yet to be shipped.
I paid for this on January 13th, 2017. It's been almost a year lol
53 / 448 are left.

Mine shipped to Belgium and took about two weeks I think? It spent about a week at customs too. Shipping went fairly fast.
Just so I ask some questions I think we all want answers to:I'm wondering about that myself, since I picked gold, which seems to be a rather uncommon choice. If the ano is bad, I'd love to know, so I can stop wringing my hands and patiently wait for the fix. Maybe even stick something on my calendar months out. The delay has gone past frustrating, to just plain mystifying. The only reasonable explanation seems be many more finish issues than anticipated, possibly repeat issues with certain colors. I just can't think PCBs could be to blame, since those are produced in bulk, with likely many extras.
Why did you tell us that none of the original units needed replacement when they did, in fact, need replacements?.....
.....provide free labor to help you out.
well **** on a stick. I just got updated shipping info and it went to my old address, even though I sent 2 emails to jchan and he said he got my change of address. Word

Wait, did you get your shipping info in the mail that jchan sent you ? Mine just had the url to the USPS tracking site and I don't think there is a way to see the shipping address on the USPS page. I am kind of worried now because I too had to change my shipping address. :(

Once it finally started moving it showed in transit “on its way to” my old address. Hopefully it will get forwarded. Most of my mail does, but the last keyboard that went there got lost in the mail. /fingerscrossed
I'm sad that the above poster's first post had to be that one, but I totally agree. No email reply, and every 'update' is basically just 'soon' with another excuse for delay.
Ok... It has been too much now. Please inform me how to obtain a refund. Thanks.

Good luck with that.
What't the 3M part number for the rubber feet?I think I remember Jchan saying that they’re custom. It was one of the selling points when he was hyping up the GB.
Yeah, it's interesting to see how something like this is a big enough issue to people that it brings out the voice in people.
I'm still waiting on any info at all about my order. I'm trying to keep my chin up about it and admire the posts of other M65-A owners. I'm going to have a hard time making time to build it though since I didn't expect it to be this long. I know I'd definitely be happier getting this board than getting a refund, but this whole thing has made me a sort of jaded. I know that finally getting this delivered won't have the same brilliance and awe as I first hoped for, but I'm determined to see this through until the end.

I need some help -- I messed up the pads on my U key, can anyone point me in the right direction on how to hot-wire it up?
Hi everyone,
Happy new year, and I'm very sorry I've been away.
During winter, I was away in the mountains for a little while without signal, as per a family trip.
Over the break, a bunch of units came back from the manufacturer that were to replace issues that I found earlier (anodization issue update thing).
I'm just about done with inspecting all the new units, and found a few issues with a few of them already which is unfortunate.
--
Anyways, I've packed a bunch of units today and they'll be going out tomorrow.
We're almost there, and thanks for your patience.
--
Lastly, to note, I don't think I'm up for hosting another "group buy" for a while. I think it's just taken too much out of me.
Cheers and again, happy new years and again, thanks for your patience.
--
If anyone is interested, this is one of things I have to deal with at the moment, which really urks me.

Not really too much to show, problem is all on the "U" key: https://i.imgur.com/bjPmwQM.jpg
I'm guessing I need to reconnect the column and row, not too sure which pins to connect though.

I am order 310.Your tracking info still remain unchanged until now?
8/2 - I receive tracking info
8/29 - I send JChan an email asking him why my tracking info never changed from "label created"
8/29 - JChan sends me an email saying that the package has been picked up by FedEx and he would look into it.
8/31 - I ask for an update.
9/8 - I ask for an update.
9/9 - JChan says that there is no news for me.
9/27 - I ask for an update.
10/7 - I ask for an update. I also ask if I should contact FedEx.
10/13 - I ask for an update. I also ask if I should make a claim with Fedex.
10/18 - JChan says that FedEx is giving them the run around. He says that they will send me a unit out of the extras.
11/4 - I email JChan telling him that at this point I be happy with any color other than Gold if it makes it any easier.
I've gotten no word from JChan about the status of the order. I haven't sent him anything else since because other than asking for a refund (which I'm not keen on doing) what else can I do? Am I even going to get a board? Can I even get a refund, he shipped me the board? Are there going to be extras? I just want a view of what else needs to be done to get the rest of a keyboards out.
What I really want is a break down of what is left. Something like;
10x have anodizing issues
3x have PCB issues
1x was lost in the mail
etc.
At least with this we could understand why there is a delay at this point. I'm going to wait it out but I am not what anyone would call happy about the situation.
I've been using my M65-A for about a month now, and today, it seems something went wonky with the pcb underglow. I've only got one green led on, and am unable to update the colors/flow via bootmapper client. The keyboard is still functional/programmable via bootmapper, just the underglow settings seem shot
Any ideas?

I shocked mine (static) and it fried the LEDs, i would guess something like that happened to you as well. Or could just need a bit more solder... i dunno.

hmm I wonder if that happened - were you handling the pcb directly when you shocked it? or did it carry from the body?

No, it happened at work after touching the case. Rest of the PCB works just fine, just not the SMDs.

No, it happened at work after touching the case. Rest of the PCB works just fine, just not the SMDs.
Well that sucks! Did you replace the smds?
No, but i did get my hands on another PCB with working LEDs that i'm working on switching over to.
Another m65 oneI've been using my M65-A for about a month now, and today, it seems something went wonky with the pcb underglow. I've only got one green led on, and am unable to update the colors/flow via bootmapper client. The keyboard is still functional/programmable via bootmapper, just the underglow settings seem shot
Any ideas?

Just got an email blast from him today about his BKE Domes, so he's definitely around. Seems like he's ignoring this post.
FYI another round just got tracking.
They're still going out.

Hey Canucks, how long did your M65 sit in customs? I just passed the 7-day mark. USPS shows it hitting customs on the 12th, but Canada Post has nothing.

Does the customs charge just depend on who's working that day or something?! :confused:

Go into bootmapper client, and then to the Options page where you can configure the LEDs. Make sure you have the # of LEDs correctly set to 16... if that doesn't work, then I'd assume it's a hardware problem
Got mine today! Looks good, except got dinged $50 by customs :(98 euros here :p

Hi,
If you're getting this email, you ordered either a Blue or Silver M65.
Unfortunately, after 3 attempts to trying to get these properly finished, I'm unable to provide the proper color.
A few units are coming in today, and if the units are good, your M65 will be dispatched.
In the case that it is not good, the only alternatives I have are:
Change color to Space Gray or Matte Black, or Rose Gold / Champagne
Refund your order in full.
Let me know which you'd prefer in the likelihood that your M65 color cannot be provided.
Now I'm just confused, I received my board two weeks ago and it's silver and has no anodizing problems and I'm almost positive I've seen hydro boards on here. I guess that the anodizing on those two colors is much more inconsistent and some of us got lucky?Show Image(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180125/fdc36fb9bf54660fcbaae1b00c8dfff6.jpg)

Well it looks like I've got some clarification on these delays.
...
After waiting over a year to build an entirely Hydro based build with cables and keyset and switches, this was the kind of bad news I was dreading. I feel like I've had the rug pulled out from under me and even though I have the choice of an alternative color or refund, it's really disheartening to see that all my anticipation and hype might ultimately be for something I don't want or planned to have. I'm really disappointed now and just straight bummed out about it...
I got fed up of waiting and decided to cancel the order, and jchan cancelled it and refunded 100% my Paypal. Great response.I don't understand why you guys did this.myself and others have said 56937 times that we would give you the money to take your place and all youd need to do is submit an address change. What's up with no one willing to help others out?
For you to know it was grey and brass plate, polycarbonate and also silver bottom.

Now that's a real update, albeit hella late. Real bummer about your Hydro build tho. I wonder why it's so hard to get the proper color. I'd expect an anodizing facility would have the equipment and skill to reproduce a color over multiple batches, or else what's the point of getting color samples?
If anyone with an affected Hydro Blue is unable to get their preferred color, I am willing to trade my (already received) hydro blue for a space grey. We'll need to arrange shipping though.

Option 2: Coordinate payment from you. Set up address change w/ Jchan. If between when you pay and shipping time you change your mind, they have to refund you. If there are shipping issues, the original buyer has to be involved in the communication between you and Jchan since Jchan doesn’t have your contact info. If you want a return/refund because of defects, the original buyer has to deal with that since Jchan will refund the account that paid for the invoice.
I don’t know about you but I’ve got to know someone a bit before I’m willing to take on extra risk for them. I’m guessing that’s why people haven’t taken you up on your offer.
One of the final 13 here, looking forward to receiving my shipping notification by Wednesday.

Does anyone have a part number for the diodes? I've sent an email to support@keyclack.com, but wanted to sort it out myself if I could. One of the diodes was missing from the backspace key, which confused the hell out of me as far as QMK goes because I thought it was a split backspace issue.
Found the diode type from a search, just wondering where other people ordered theirs from. There are a LOT of results from digikey, will all of those work?
For instance, my search results from digikey: https://www.digikey.com/products/en/discrete-semiconductor-products/diodes-rectifiers-single/280?k=1N4148W&k=smt&k=SOD-123&k=smt&pkeyword=1N4148W&FV=ffe00118&mnonly=0&ColumnSort=0&page=1&quantity=0&ptm=0&fid=0&pageSize=25
I ordered this part number, got 20, just in case
1655-1360-1-ND

DIODE GEN PURP 75V 250MA SOD123
Stupid question, how are the round through diodes I got for my let's split different than this? Because I soldered one up and it did nothing...
Anyone with LED issues? It was working fine for about a month then I turned on my PC last night and noticed there was an issue. Of the LED's on the bottom, only the one closest to the USB port lights up and it is stuck green. I cant even turn it off in the bootmapper software.JJwax reported the exact same issues 2-3 pages back in this thread.

As far as I know, they are the same. Did you make sure they were the right way around?
I find many of these RGB LEDs to be incredibly unreliable and prone to giving up the ghost at any time. I've had a couple of my keyboards have the same issue with them.

Are there any common issues that you let us know about with the PCBs? Common fixes and such?
It's now the end of the month, where's my shipping info?
We'll be having retail sales of the M65 in other color flavors in the coming months.

Besides that, I want to apologize for how tragic this GB has been. I never imagined it being dragged this long, and the fault is mine, and mine alone. I don't wish to get into it, as it is a lot of my personal life, and me allowing it cross over into my work life. I understand the frustration, and everything, but it's long past it, and I apologize for the horrible experience/

I've got my Kester 24 leaded (rosin core) solder, decent Weller soldering iron, etc. but have yet to order my switches and stabs. I'm thinking R9 Zealio Zilent 78g switches (dark blue) and debating between 6.25u vs 7u spacebar. I'm primarily an HHKB guy so the 7u might suit me better. Thoughts?
Hi everyone,
Still waiting for a few responses for the email I sent out the other day regarding a color change.
Other than that, the remaining units are going out tomorrow, and we will be complete.
--
If you're experiencing PCB issues, I have been getting a lot of issues of the PCBs QC being weird after a lot of use. Just shoot me an email, and we'll try to troubleshoot, or worst come to shove, I'll send a replacement for it.
---
Then an inventory will be done of all remaining pieces for the extra's sale, A and B stock.
---
All pieces available in this GB will be available in some form or another (A or B stock).
---
Mousepads, are available in A and B stock.
Mousepads will be rerun for in March in another flavor.
--
Regarding future M65 sales, and what not. Unfortunately, it has come to a time where I can't support this type of big GB anymore.

Will you be responding to anything to do with Master Control Rebirth? Will these funds be used to refund? ;)Email sent about lack of updates 40 days ago, no response, no update, no notion of any refund. What gives?Same here, I sent an email 3 weeks ago and another one 1 week ago. No response yet. :(It's sad getting updates on this thread.
I'm thankful I asked for a refund when he first offered because I realized I had too many keysets. Boy did I dodge a bullet.
He's really been MIA for a while now and it's becoming rather concerning especially how he's launched other products. Was contemplating getting BKE domes but I think I'm gonna steer clear for now unless he starts resolving his outstanding customer commitment issues.
I know he's had personal issues which is very unfortunate but it becomes a little inexcusable when you start launching other things also.Still no reply, nor refund for this.I want to believe! If we just can get a status update on if it’s reasonably possible it can be fulfilled or just a dead case. I really need the Nordic keys for my more-than-year old project to finish. :)I have sent a few emails asking for a refund over the last month, I got no replies. I got quick replies for questions I had about the BKE domes though, so I know my emails are going through.

EDIT: I received the customs letter today and went to pay and pick it up. First inspection, everything looks to be in perfect condition.

Screws are probably part of any bottom piece or so, doubt they'll have to be ordered separately. If you order a top, a bottom, a PCB and a Plate, you should have everything you need to assemble it (minus switches, keycaps and cable of course, stabilizers I'm not sure, possibly only included in future 'complete kits').

My Zeal stabs are both quiet and smooth...and un-lubed. No rattle at all. All the other stabs I've used recently are noisy and mushy.

Screws are included in the kits, if you get a complete one.
However, if you require screws, just email support@keyclack.com and just pay for the postage for the screw set, along with your M65A order number or confirmation from the extras sale.
---
Yes, screw in stabs work as they were included. Zeal variant or GMK Screw in Stabs work of course.
---
We are low on weights and plates for these, but we'll have some in March as we'll have a new shipment of parts.

For those wondering, future retail sales will be priced lower for kits, and as we continue to bring in new parts, we're also looking to adding to the line as well.

I'm thinking R9 Zealio Zilent 78g switches (dark blue)... Thoughts?
Oh, and extra's will be on sale mid next week, after we complete an inventory.
How the sale will be conducted:
- Not As Kits
- Pick your Part, like you want it.
For example, you will have all of these parts to choose from, some more limited than others.
- A Stock Top Black
- A Stock Top Rose Gold
- A Stock Top Champagne
- B Stock Bottom Black
- Hydro Blue Plate
- Black Plate
- Weight
- Feet
- PCB
etc etc.
There are no complete kits sold for this. You can to assemble you kit as you see fit, and opt for anything you want.
Other colors will come out at retail pricing, but as complete kits. I'm hoping to improve the ecosystem of the M65A by trying to stock parts for it on an ongoing basis for a little while.
A complete A stock kit is : $430 - $500, the upper scale being if you opt for qmk, brass plate, and aluminum bottom.
For those interested in comparing the pricing, the $500 unit was $305 during the GB.

For those wondering, future retail sales will be priced lower for kits, and as we continue to bring in new parts, we're also looking to adding to the line as well.

Hey JChan,
So will the March kits be full kits and priced lower than the ~500ish we will see today?
I just remembered Jchan mentionning a "surprise" being sent to everyone once the GB is done. Did we ever get news on that? I'm curious now.
Oh, and extra's will be on sale mid next week, after we complete an inventory.
How the sale will be conducted:
- Not As Kits
- Pick your Part, like you want it.
For example, you will have all of these parts to choose from, some more limited than others.
- A Stock Top Black
- A Stock Top Rose Gold
- A Stock Top Champagne
- B Stock Bottom Black
- Hydro Blue Plate
- Black Plate
- Weight
- Feet
- PCB
etc etc.

Thanks Jchan,
So if I buy only the top case+pcb+plate+feet, I won't get any screws since it's not a full kit?

So if we wait until March we can get a full M65-A kit (top, base, plate, pcb, weight, feet, we build ourselves) for less than buying them part by part today? Will is still be A-stock? Will there be any differences other than just having to wait longer?

They're different colors from the GB. Depends on your preference. You may, or may not like the colors.
A-Stock
The retail units will only be available with Brass Plates, so no alu plate option at this stage.

So if we want OG color we will at least want to buy a top plate today. There will still be the plastic bottom right? And will the brass weight be the same?
Brass plates are polished?
Thank you for all of the info Jchan, it is really appreciated

There are still deskmats https://www.keyclack.com/product/m65amousepad
I got mine with no issues...I admit I tried to be as lightning fast as possible with all products opened in different tabs.
Thank you Keyclack for authorizing my bank account for $500 dollars every time I tried to checkout but one of the items had become out of stock and the transaction failed. Now I can't buy one of these because my account is tied up $2500 in authorizations
Furious with Keyclack right now.
Edit: My bank isn't able to help, and I am on hold with PayPal who says they have a 3 hour wait right now... Great.

I never built my M65-A champagne, and I think it has the champagne plate that I could send your way, but I'll have to check....but at least I'll have your information in case I do find a spare.
Just wondering, the people who are ordering full kits, are they getting the pretty retail box or it's going to be chucked into a cardboard box with bubble wrap and a keyclack business card?
I fell asleep and got on about a half hour after the sale started. I was able to order all the options I wanted. Of course it was for the space gray. I guess it was mad dash to get the limited colors. Anyway, I can't wait for it to arrive!! :D

Hmm, I tried to get a space gray bottom about 4 min after it started, there was 1 left, I added it to cart and checked out with paypal to find it was sold out. So, someone was living an alternate timeline

The Keyclack merchant system doesn't secure Items placed in cart, so items in your cart can still be purchased by someone else while you are checking out. The Keyclack Merchant will also authorize your paypal the full amount of the purchase when you select your paypal as the Payment Method, but before you place your order. Even if you decide not to place the order and remove all items from the cart, your paypal will still have an authorization for the full amount.

Not sure what the PayPal authorization thing is, I couldn't check out and had 2 emails from PayPal saying that I authorized 2 payments of $400+ to Keyclack yet nothing shows up in my orders and funds have been taken from my PayPal account Q_Q

An authorization is a theoretical “transaction” a merchant processor charges to an account in order to verify that it is an active ‘funded’ account before attempting an actual transaction across it. Typically a processor will authorize between $1-$10 that typically falls off your account at the time of the actual transaction. If the authorization fails then the system knows the account can’t process the actual transaction and the transaction is declined. Sometimes authorizations will take time to fall off. There is no reason Keyclack should process an authorization for the full amount of the transaction that is being authorized for, not only is it radical overkill, but it can, and in Keyclack’s situation does, take time to fall off, and then if you don’t have enough money after the authorization to process the actual transaction you can have the whole thing fail just because you didn’t expect to need twice the amount of the purchase you are trying to make.

So I really wanted in on this but $160 shipping kills it. That’s nearly 40% of the cost plus then another £175 in customs making this an $800 board.

Clarification:
These plates are for those who wanted other colors, and requested additional plates be produced during the GB.

If you ordered on site, you're good to go, no worries.
It's been so long I don't remember -- was the kit supposed to come with cherry screw-in stabs? Mine just arrived with only case screws.

Actually there is one very big issue with the plate, but that isn't related to the format of the file. It's that the left shift cutout is improperly sized for ISO build (with the split left shift).
I'll need to get a custom one cut at some point when I have time to request a quote from the local sheet metal fab company.
This issue will not affect anyone who is building this board with ANSI layout

Posted this to r/mk, but figured I may as well post here as well. Running into some issues with my board...
Just recently built up my M65-A and unfortunately having some problems. Whenever I press Backspace, the \ | key also registers (the reverse is also true - when I press \ |, backspace registers).
This happens for a few other keys in the same vicinity as well: R shift and up arrow and with ] and \ |.
Luckily, I was able to take everything apart rather easily as I'm currently using hot swap sockets in my M65. I'm pretty certain these sockets are not the cause of the issue as I've used these sockets in my Minivan and Roadkit and have 0 problems. I used extremely little solder as well (just enough to get the sockets to stay), so I don't think that's the issue either.
Here's a picture of my PCB: https://imgur.com/a/yBZbb. It looks a little wonky cause I had to take it as a panorama to get close enough to see the soldering job.
I don't believe this is a firmware issue either. Even though it's my first time using QMK and creating my own QMK keymap, the same issue also happens when I flash the default keymap.
Any ideas? Any help is appreciated!
By now, you should have received an email about your shipment.
All shipments that haven't gone out, will be out tomorrow.

I will be adding plates to the inventory on Thursday as we had a few lying around.

Hey dude, how did you fit the hot swap socket into the pcb? Could you share a pic. Have some sockets ordered from Zeal, want to get them on
Hey dude, how did you fit the hot swap socket into the pcb? Could you share a pic. Have some sockets ordered from Zeal, want to get them on
I didn't buy my sockets from Zeal, but I'd assume they're pretty similar. I just placed the sockets on the switches, then placed the switches into the PCB. From there I added a tiny bit of solder to each socket to keep it in place. You can check out some pics here: https://imgur.com/a/nVCi5
Hope this helps!

I was just making the comment that if someone who didn't know how to assemble keyboards wanted a tutorial, that video wouldn't suffice. Personally this is my first time building and programming a keyboard from scratch so a tutorial would have been useful for me. I'm technical and a programmer and been around in the mech space for awhile so I think I can make do, but for anyone less knowledgeable would need to look elsewhere.

Does anyone have a problem where a few of the right most LEDs become white after an hour or so? It's fixed if I unplug/replug the keyboard or toggle the leds.

Which pcb have you got?
Maybe it just doesnt want to be pink anymore. Maybe you need to give it a pep talk or something. Maybe buy it a coffee?
Jokes aside, it occurs with any color. Has no one experienced this issue then? I'm not using any fancy keymap. Just a second layer with RGB controls.

It seems to be only when it's static/plain. It works for awhile and then the LEDS "forget" their color. I'll keep breathing mode on and see what happens. But for now I'll just say it only happens on plain.

Weird...if it happened in all modes, id attribute it to the PCB a lot more confidently. Have you tried reflashing to default and putting your config back on after?

Just tried your suggestion, using the default map the issue still happens after 20 minutes or so. I thought maybe it was a power issue but it continues to happen even with a powered usb hub. I don't know if the latest version of QMK has a bug but I can only assume it's a PCB issue unless Jchan has some ideas.
Am I the only one having trouble reaching jchan on both is email (jchan@keyclack.com and support@keyclack.com) ?
I join on keyclack website for a lilac m65a with nylon base. I asked by email for QMK pcb instead of ps2avrgb as told on website, but no response. I am quite afraid it will ship before taking into account the request.

I join on keyclack website for a lilac m65a with nylon base. I asked by email for QMK pcb instead of ps2avrgb as told on website, but no response. I am quite afraid it will ship before taking into account the request.

I sold my A stock extra so I could buy a purple one. But I sat on the fence too long and now the purple with purple base is gone.
Got some answers by email from Jchan!Yes, also got some answeres from Jchan regarding PCB change to QMK.
He will start to ship tomorrow for the cosmos m65a. Cannot wait to have it in my hands, build it with some 78g r9 zealios and put my Budapest SA on it :D

I plan to build it with 67g r9 zealios, really stoked about it! :)I actually also wanted to try the 78g, but I think I‘m just going with the 67g anyways since they feel great and I already have them.

I upgrade to qmk too. And i got both 67 and 78 on hands, need to build to compare them.
Ah really nice! Let me know, when you know which one you like better!
78g Zeals eh. That is a nice choice. :)Ah really nice! Let me know, when you know which one you like better!
I’ll tell you! I should received my EXENT next week also! So I will have two boards to build :D ! I will likely put some 67g on exent, 78g on m65a (or vice versa) :D

No ill will here - all my other orders (minus MC Rebirth, still unsure as to what is going on with that one) were fulfilled without issues. I know what he's been through and at this point waiting a little bit more doesn't bother me. Just concerned that the GB is marked complete, yet my order was not fulfilled.

You got ignored?I'll give it a couple days then head to reddit. Looks like someone made a post 5 days ago about far less significant issues and got a response.
That sucks :(. My Cosmos order was shipped. So he is defiantly here.
Maybe shoot him another e-mail?.
Well what's the situation with that set? At worst, it's a "I don't have the product and can't give you a refund either". If it is completely out of his control, so be it.This.

He's probably avoiding everyone to do with MC Rebirth, I remember seeing someone else get replies on any project apart from MCRB. :rolleyes:

These boards on the other hand, were in his possession. Doesn't help that I was promised a tracking number a month back.
My top row suddenly stop working. Only Esc, Backspace and Home work. Were working fine after assembly. Then swap back to it after some time, not working now. Reset to original layout, still cant work.

Took a leap of faith. Reapply Solder to my Controller Chip joint. It work now. Puzzled and Happy at the same time.
I have a strange issue with QMK pcb, it flash, work fine except row 3 which type random characters when pressed, such as "6tgb " for a pressed "g" or "8ujm " for a pressed "j". Do you have any idea of what is going on?
Edit: looking at the pattern, it seem that the 3rd row trigger the entiere column, like pressin "g" trigger the collumun with 6 - t - g - b which are alligned. Is it comming from hardware or software? I saw it can be due to some shorting but I did not see where it can happen, check all my solder, there are clean. I am getting sad
Is your screw in stab causing the short ?
Is your screw in stab causing the short ?
Haha. Glad it solved. Cheers Mate !Is your screw in stab causing the short ?
I ****ing love you mate, it was the screw in stab in enter, shorting an led slot....
Did you map the wrong FN key ? FN LT(layer toggle) vs FN ? Or U accidentally toggle to Layer 2 by tapping Esc many times. Cos default keycode of Esc is Layer T 2.

Not sure why that keymap would activate caps lock on press. There’s no way that should happen. Perhaps that’s not the key map loaded. Maybe it’s failng to compile or flash, or maybe there is an error elsewhere.
Any other screw in stabilizers on that side that need taping?
hmm, u can try again with just 1 layer on top of base layer. See if the problem persist.

It persist. I really think it is a short somewhere, but can’t find where :( ! This is super anoying that the caps lock key trigger the lshift key with it, but the lshift key is okay, everything else is okay. Someone face this?

I don't think it's the issue, but is that left control LED (+) leg soldered to the diode on the right? O.o
EDIT - sorry, that's the resistor I suppose

your No.6 Switch isn't soldered in ;)
You said you removed those stabilizer screws and it didn't help, right? I'm not seeing any way the connection between the two switches is bridge. Jchan would have a much better idea since he would understand how the traces run. I guess your best bet is to contact support with these photos. He can either help you figure it out or send a replacement. Hopefully not a replacement, since that is a lot of hard work gone to waste :(

Yes, removing the screws did not help. Since I had some issues with the other stab it was my first idea, hopping for an easy fix. But it did not turn well :/

Hopefully it's just a bad diode on the capslock or something. Those are cheap and pretty easy to fix
So, when you press caps lock in a program like switch hitter, it shows that you've pressed both caps lock and shift, right?
When you press shift it works correctly and only triggers shift, correct?
Also, this happens with the default key mapping loaded?
I seem to be having a serious problem with static discharge and my m65-a. Any tips on what I can do/solder to help it ground better when I touch the aluminum case? I try to discharge before I use it, but sometimes I just don't think/am in the middle of something else

I know a lot of people make a bridge from the ground on USB cables to their alu cases to prevent static
I ask Jchan about it, he told me he will investigate and come back to me in the next few days as he never faced this issue.
Fingers crossed!

I've read the above solution before, but I never gained a clear understanding of the solution. Are you saying that we should use the mesh wire layer of the cable (underneath the foil and above the inner wires) and somehow bring it outside of the cable and tape it to the case? I'd be interested in seeing this done but it sounds messy and difficult to plug and unplug (tape and un-tape, i guess). Or do you actually bridge off of the black ground wire and have that sticking out somehow? I've made a few of my own usb cables, so I understand a bit, but this seems wonky.
Anyone have an elegant example of this they want to share pics of?
Also, wouldn't this still shock you? It would travel down the USB cable to your computer and not the PCB, but still shock you, no?
Is the bottom of the M65 with static issues a nylon one? That, coupled with a desk mat could be problematic

I'm also a bit confused/curious about this process
Just posting so people don't think I was left hanging. Got the board earlier last week. Unfortunately the plate in space gray was no longer available. Extra plate (in silver) and PCB was provided for the delays and whatnot, but that doesn't matter much. Going to move on now.Well what's the situation with that set? At worst, it's a "I don't have the product and can't give you a refund either". If it is completely out of his control, so be it.This. Decided to check this thread as I haven't gotten a response either for an M65-A (not extras, original GB order).Still nothing here. Anybody have any insight as to why jchan is entirely ignoring some people?
No ill will here - all my other orders (minus MC Rebirth, still unsure as to what is going on with that one) were fulfilled without issues. I know what he's been through and at this point waiting a little bit more doesn't bother me. Just concerned that the GB is marked complete, yet my order was not fulfilled. Hopefully nobody else is in the same situation.
He's probably avoiding everyone to do with MC Rebirth, I remember seeing someone else get replies on any project apart from MCRB. :rolleyes:
These boards on the other hand, were in his possession. Doesn't help that I was promised a tracking number a month back.
From the lack of information on that topic, it's believable the worst scenario is what's happening.
Seems odd that he doesn't want to wrap this up, considering they are on hand as you say...
I am also having a QMK related caps lock issue.
My keymap worked perfectly for a while, and then one day for some reason my LCtrl started registering as Caps Lock.
I changed KC_LCTRL to KC_CAPS for that key and now it works properly as LCtrl for some reason. Also, my LAlt key stopped working until I changed LALT to LGUI in my keymap. My win keys have stopped working entirely.
So to summarize:
My LCtrl is mapped to KC_CAPS, which produces a LCtrl keypress.
My LAlt is mapped to KC_LGUI, which produces a LAlt keypress.
My LGui is mapped to KC_LALT, which doesn't do anything.
My RGui is mapped to KC_RGUI, which doesn't do anything.
I have no clue what's going on. My board works, at least, but I'd really like to get my QMK keymap associated with the proper keys (and also get my Winkeys working again).
I don't see any shorts or messed up components. All keys work properly when I map them to something else besides what's listed above.
Anyone have any idea?

Super strange issue! Different issue from mine, since if I map to other key my caps lock and lshift the caps lock triggering the lshift is still present.
Did you try reset the board, and make clean then flash again the default layout with only one layout?

Yup, I have the same issue with the default key map also.
I would be mare than happy to desolder it for you for free; however, we are not very close if you are indeed in France.
Hopefully the replacement won’t have the same issues
Out of curiousity, all of you having issues have which PCB? I'm wondering if the issues listed are exlusive to one or the other.
Anyone else have problems with shipping from Keyclack?
I paid nearly two weeks ago, and shipping was confirmed on the 19th via e-mail. DHL then asked me for an import fee to my country, which I paid immediately. However, looking at the tracking its been over a week and still 'Shipment not yet picked up by DHL' is the status. DHL have confirmed they haven't been given a time slot by the vendor as yet for collection
I've sent Jchan a few emails, support tickets and Discord messages which have gone unanswered, even when he has been answering friends that were looking to buy, but no response. And I've heard of at least one other order that has been paid for post mine, and shipped already in the meantime as well. (this is for an in stock item btw). Anyone any ideas?
Anyone else have problems with shipping from Keyclack?The vast majority of buyers, I feel.
Got an answer from Jchan, from him it is a dead track (I also had a dead track for one LED that I solved by direclty solder the led leg to the resistor). He is sending me a new pcb. I don’t know if I will be motivated enough to unsolder everything :(.Lucky, when i contacted support@keyclack the best he could do was sell me a PCB for half off. New one Arrived DOA requested a refund waiting to hear back. I have two PCB rgb issues now and a third dead. Will try my luck with a winkeyless pcb in the eventual future when i gets paid.
You should contact jchan too for your issues (support@keyclack.com)

Good luck with sentraq, told me if it works. I just finish desoldering all my m65a (the moment you regret having solder all in switch led!). Now I am waiting for the new pcb to arrive and will rebuild, hopefully it will be okay!

The underglow LEDs on my ps2avrgb pcb stopped working (LEDs 10-16)... anyone know what the issue might be? I double checked its not a screw shorting it, I've double checked bootmapper and I also tried different usb ports with different cables... no luck. The weird thing is it briefly started to work again yesterday after playing around with stuff in bootmapper and plugging/unpluging the usb, but then it stopped working again and I don' t know what I did to temporarily "fix it".
Omg... ty so much your suggestion worked. I just reflowed LED 10 and everything lights up again. How does a solder joint just degrade like that?The underglow LEDs on my ps2avrgb pcb stopped working (LEDs 10-16)... anyone know what the issue might be?

Sounds like broken continuity to me. If a solder joint was just barely connected it could work on and off again with luck. Maybe that’s why it worked for a while when you were messing with it.
I would reflow the solder in led 9 and 10 to see if that fixed it. If that doesn’t work I would email jchan.
I suppose led 10 could need replacement.
Mine has stopped working completely, pretty sure I shocked it with ESD and now when I plug it in it seems to continually reset. I'm going to try replacing the MCU, but I can't believe they seem to have skimped on the like 40 cents it would have costed to add ESD protection.... Maybe I'll try to kludge some on myself :P
Weren’t we supposed to get a freebie gift in March for participating in this group buy?Lol, if how the GB has gone was anything to go by, I wouldn't hold out for any freebies anytime soon...
Did I miss anything? :(

Can anyone help me kill the godforsaken backlight on the QMK JC65?
Neither RGBLIGHT_ENABLE = no
no
BACKLIGHT ENABLE = no
do anything to help.
After flashing with the default from git, it has a perpetual BRIGHT green backlight on and i just can't end this freaking light. Please.... help?
After reading some comments about ESD problems: I have an unbuilt cosmos M65 with QMK PCB which I'll build soon. Is there a way to prevent problems with ESD? The PCB might be damaged because of this, right?
I don’t think Rama would know much about the pcb. Especially since the pcb was called the JC65.

I’ve sat with mine unbuilt for 2 months now because I’m worried about it. I had switches in it just to see what I wanted to use (unsoldered). This was back when it as very cold and my heater ran a lot, but I discharged on the case several times causing a reboot. Many times I was just sitting there and it built up (probably from my feet on carpet)
I ran a humidifier to help but I’m honestly hoping there is a fix before I build it.
I tried to bring it up in the m60-a forum to see is Rama might take interest to investigate but it didn’t go anywhere.

I understand. I just thought it might peak his interest to know there are issues with it. Just trying to plant a seed :)

anyone have any issues with the jc65? i cant seem to turn BL off.
bottom row of leds do not seem to go off.

You're not the first to report that problem.
Is there a safe way for me to remove the underglow led's? I don't use them and they seem to be more trouble than anything else.

Ever since I moved to my new place, ESD has been a problem with my keyboard--identical set up, same keyboard I've been using for a few years now, properly grounded. Never before in my previous apartments has it been a problem, so I don't know what's going on here--still trying to figure it out. (Previous apartment had full room carpeting where my keyboards were connected, and it was never a problem despite wearing any types of socks or having a space heater drying out air to almost zero humidity). At some point I thought a USB cable with a very chunky ferrite choke helped in the new place, so I ordered nice looking replacements with ferrite chokes, which unfortunately turned out to be quite small. With the small choke cable, I get maybe 30%-40% of ESD occurrences (again anecdotally) than with my old fancy sleeved USB cable with no choke. Going to swap to the big choke ugly gray cable again soon, as with it I had no ESD issues at all for about 3 weeks (basically the whole duration of using it). Moral of the story: if you do happen to have one of those heavy duty mini B USB cables with chunky ferrite chokes, try them out with your keyboard.I've drastically improved the ESD problems I was having with my M65A. My solution has been to tape a piece of jumper wire to connect the inside of the case to the metal shield surrounding the mini USB port. I used to frequently see my board go dark and have to reconnect to the PC whenever I touched it, but it has completely stopped doing that after this fix, even when I touch the board and my finger is shocked from the static. I'd recommend it to anyone having this problem.

Hello!
I just started having some issues with my M65-A (QMK pcb) this morning, but I have no idea what caused it. There's some weird behavior -- the left Windows key acted as Alt. Left alt does nothing. Capslock and Ctrl switched. Backspace and \ switched. Everything else fine. My other layers work (that don't involve the aforementioned keys), so it's not like the PCB was reset or anything.
Here's what I tried:
- Unplugged cable, plugged back in
- Different cable
- Restarted computer
- Re-flashed board
- Checked Windows keyboard language settings
I recently purchased it from /r/mm. When it arrived, the capslock was soldered for the stepped key, so I had to desolder and move it over one spot. This was about a month ago at this point, so I had been using it off and on, so something like 10ish hours of use.
The only recent change was a new Pexon cable. I received it in the mail yesterday, plugged it in, and played games for 5-6 hours. No issues, worked perfectly. I got in bed and forgot to turn off the LEDs, but was too lazy to get up, so I left them on overnight.
I emailed the guy I purchased it from and he said he hadn't experienced the issue and I also sent an email to KeyClack a few hours ago.
Anyone have any similar issues?
Thanks for your time.
Did you try resetting EEPROM then reflash?
Did you try resetting EEPROM then reflash?
I didn't try that before, so I spent the last few hours trying to figure out how to do that. I used "flip" and tried, but it didn't work. I think you might have me on the right track though, as I found:
https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/issues/2197
I haven't got dfu-programmer to work from the command line - I've been using make jc65:mykeymap:dfu to flash mine. Here's the qmk documentation on resetting EEPROM (which I couldn't get to work so used "flip").

Moral of the story: if you do happen to have one of those heavy duty mini B USB cables with chunky ferrite chokes, try them out with your keyboard.I've drastically improved the ESD problems I was having with my M65A. My solution has been to tape a piece of jumper wire to connect the inside of the case to the metal shield surrounding the mini USB port. I used to frequently see my board go dark and have to reconnect to the PC whenever I touched it, but it has completely stopped doing that after this fix, even when I touch the board and my finger is shocked from the static. I'd recommend it to anyone having this problem.
Would also appreciate some pictures

Would you mind posting a pic of your fix for those experiencing the same issue? Particularly the area of the USB shield for those that want to do the same?Ever since I moved to my new place, ESD has been a problem with my keyboard--identical set up, same keyboard I've been using for a few years now, properly grounded. Never before in my previous apartments has it been a problem, so I don't know what's going on here--still trying to figure it out. (Previous apartment had full room carpeting where my keyboards were connected, and it was never a problem despite wearing any types of socks or having a space heater drying out air to almost zero humidity). At some point I thought a USB cable with a very chunky ferrite choke helped in the new place, so I ordered nice looking replacements with ferrite chokes, which unfortunately turned out to be quite small.

The top pic shows where one end of the wire touches the USB shield, and the bottom pic shows the locations where the wire contacts the shield and the case. I used some ugly masking tape to hold them in place. It's worked perfectly so far.

Thanks dude this is great stuff
Sorry if it's been asked, but what's the best way to clean the desk mat? lol
If anybody is in the need for a space grey r1 :eek:

Future kits will not be "a la carte" unfortunately. Trying to condense complexity as was in the GB
5 Top Options
6 Base Options
2 Plate Options
2 PCB Options
= A lot of custom options, but takes a lot longer to manage
Sorry! But I think the options will be good.For those wondering, future retail sales will be priced lower for kits, and as we continue to bring in new parts, we're also looking to adding to the line as well.
Hey JChan,
So will the March kits be full kits and priced lower than the ~500ish we will see today?
Definitely cheaper for those kits ~I just remembered Jchan mentionning a "surprise" being sent to everyone once the GB is done. Did we ever get news on that? I'm curious now.
Those will be sent out in a month or two, as I'm still in the middle of preparing them. I think you'd be happy with them, once they are ready. So maybe post about it mid march? Should be ready by then :)
What ended up being the fix for a dead row?
What ended up being the fix for a dead row?Less pressure on the stab screws or reflowing the solder on the chip.
god.
god.
Looks like god decided to make half of my LEDs white now. I cant even turn them off haha

I have the same issue, does anyone know how to fix this?

I was told to reflow the LED closest to the faulty one. Sadly...i had no luck and one LED is now dead while the other half is white :(
No respose from jchan either on help or PCB replacement for me to buy
I'm not sure how you reflowed the led, but I'll give a few pointers for things I've done to help. First, you need to add some flux. You can use liquid or paste, either one. The idea is that you want to remelt all of the solder that is there and have it adhere better. If you just touch a hot iron to it, you might melt something or just pull more solder off. By adding flux, you can essentially heat the solder that is there without direct contact. The flux carries the heat for you. You really can't overdo the flux, Just clean off what is there after the job is finished. My two cents from reflowing 2 MCUs and a few Kailh hot swap sockets.

Almost got it working, added some flux and the LEDs were fixed for one second...and then the LED went bonkers and i attempted to remove it thus lifting a couple pads :(
RIP.
Anyone know of any good alternative PCBs? My QMK pcb has just been trouble since day 1 with CTRL/Capslock swapping every few weeks and now LEDs dying

This hotswap qmk PCB works if you don't mind modding the port hole of the case a bit https://www.lfkeyboards.com/lfk65-hotswap.html
Edit: just notice that it's out of stock.
What's the layout look on the KBD65? Because it has a blocker near the arrow keys from the info? and there's no more mini usb versions
Just found a solarized edition on keyclack! Very excited for it to arrive.
I was reading a few reddit posts and it seems like jchan is busy with some personal things that may cause inactivity. Does anyone know if he is still actively working on keyclack sales or if he's just unavailable via email?

I'm not sure how active he is on GH and group buys these days, but, FWIW, whenever I've made a purchase on his website (stuff he has in stock), it got shipped rather quickly.
KBD65 PCB supports a few layouts, for some reason KBDfans didnt put that on their site. The KBD67 board itself does have a blocker, which the PCB supports that layout.Is the USB-C version otherwise identical to the micro USB version? I'm worried about the USB-C port lining up correctly and fitting into the opening in the top case.
My KBD65 PCB is still going strong with no issues. USB-C is always an option at least.. :(
Finally got the board installed and noticed one of my stabilizer bars had come loose. It's the clear screw in ones from Zeal. Is there any way to replace/fix a stabilizer without unsoldering an entire board?
