Anyone know how quickly the spots filled up for the Orion when the GB started?

If I remember correctly the first 30 were gone within the first couple hours

That's actually not that quickly if you think about it. As long as you're prepared for the buy you should have plenty of time to get in.

It's not like you can predict when GB threads pop up, though. AFAIK they need to be approved by mods and that basically happens whenever. "being prepared" = sit at your computer and F5 every five minutes? the thread notification emails can be hours late.

Welp, I'm sure Elton can give us a time to expect the GB to land on our shores, so that'll be time to camp out. Though I think everyone who wants one will probably be able to get one. I hope.

A JTK set would definitely be your best bet as a tsangan kit I think. Bunny still has some if you PM him.

I placed my order like an hour and a half after and got spot 23

I jumped in 5.5 hours after the thread start and ended up #39.

So when should I start considering changing my delivery address? I'll be celebrating christmas at my parents' place, and I'll be gone for 2 weeks, which is just enough time for the postal service to send packages back to its sender.

As the holidays are creeping up, I feel like more updates would soothe my nerves.
I also realize that elton is sort of a middle man here and might have trouble getting the info, so of course I take that into consideration.

I just better make sure I'm free the day of the group buy, then there shouldn't be any problems. I'm glad 75% isn't as popular as TKL, so it's a little less pressure to boot. :)

No update yet. I usually don't post anything if I don't have anything new..as for the start of GH's Oct. V2 GB, I may post it up over the weekend or once the 2nd batch are shipped.  I still need some confirmation first.

Beautiful board filphil, I really like the beige without in switch LEDs. :thumb:

The Orion blue grey is very different to the Jane's.

Your pictures are like torture for those of us that haven't received theirs yet  :p

Quick question. The lighting showing on the keys is that bleeding over from the side LEDs? Or do you have a few LEDs on certain keys?

That's light bleeding from the RGB LEDs, with a plastic plate there will be a little bit of light bleed. I noticed that on my Orion as well, even for the LED layer indicators.

=D

What you're seeing is light bleed for sure.  The plastic plate/aluminum bottom duo has some intense light bleed compared to an aluminum plate/acrylic flat bottom. 

I'm sure once the in-switch leds are installed it'll nullify it but in the meantime I really dig it.  The color looks whitish blue because of how long the exposure was taken.

You seriously have to be making replicas and the burning them, right? I can't imagine anyone would take a knife to a $100 or more.

Unless they're the cloned clacks. K3KC or something?

Again, if you seriously do murder your Clacks, then you are a verifiable cap serial killer! xD
