Cool... Looks like another potent 60%
I don't think the Eagle model will fly though... Caps Lock instead of a right shift. Hew!
Argh those cap sizes; any word on if anyone can proxy these over or if anyone is starting a gb for any of viper, eagle, or orion?
What is Orion?Argh those cap sizes; any word on if anyone can proxy these over or if anyone is starting a gb for any of viper, eagle, or orion?
I might be doing a GB on Orion if anyone is interested..
I don't think the Eagle or Viper is ready yet.

If this does end up being $187 plus shipping etc, it's going to be very hard to turn down.
They're doing an interest check for viper and eagle over at kbdlab though. It looks like it will cost 200,000 WON (about 187 USD) for a set. Pretty cheap considering other options in the market.

Usually it ends up around $200 after conversion. Why the translation says it that VAT=200k won?
+1 for elton5354 doing proxy work for the Viper :p

Okay, I confirmed that I will do a group buy for Orion.
I'll set up a group buy thread soon..
If there are enough orders for a specific location and people want a proxy, please find one and let me know the details..

Some info....Damn shame.
- Interest check for Viper & Eagle will last until 3/10. He needs at least 100 combined units before proceeding with the groupbuy.
- IC stands at about ~50 units with 5 days to go -- not looking very good :(
- Someone asked Duck about its compatibility with other 60% PCBs. He's not sure because he doesn't own any other 60%.
- Kit includes: Aluminum case (1 pc design, probably means it's a tray) + Stainless Plate + PCB (SMD comp pre-soldered) + bolts
- Fully programmable. I believe it supports full LED as well.
- Price of 200,000 won is before VAT. Final price will likely be about 10% more.
Why would they need 100?Maybe that is which factory required to production :)
Isn't that a bit unreasonable?
- Someone asked Duck about its compatibility with other 60% PCBs. He's not sure because he doesn't own any other 60%.
- Someone asked Duck about its compatibility with other 60% PCBs. He's not sure because he doesn't own any other 60%.
So is this PCB the same one from the Duck Mini v2?
If this does end up being $187 plus shipping etc, it's going to be very hard to turn down.
^ I second this ^

And so I have doubts about their build-quality, honestly the Duck Miniv2 is not as good...

Very similar - with same layout etc. but this one is not Alps compatible.

I can run a group buy for these, but it has to be after lightsaver v2's group buy..if you guys can wait
Most likely in May..
So the viper should be ~$200?

Most likely a separate group buy for us
Worldwide shipping is available with EMS. I have shipping rates from my other group buys, you can check it out. It'll probably be around $40 to ship to EU.

viper and eagle are for sale
I couldn't figure out the payment system ... something about IE and win xp :confused:
Is there a reason why it has to be a separate gb for international? I'd pay international postage fees.

It looks like you have to have a Korean address to sign up for their site. At least, that's as far as I was able to get in the member sign-up area. Hopefully elton5354 will be able to run a group buy for all us over here!
Please make viper groupbuy happen. That HHKB layout looks beautiful :-*

Good point.
Can't we just piggy back off the current one?
i absolutely want one of these. if i have to pay a bit more to have someone ship me one from the US, that's fine, as long as i can help this happen sooner rather than later.From the US... Did I miss something... :-[

What software is used to program these?
Are the settings stored keyboard-side, or in a config file on your computer?

Thanks! Looks like it may even be fairly straightforward to use. And it would be great if the board could 'remember' your setting from computer to computer.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by "settings" but the keyboard layout you choose (including macro keys) is programmed into the onboard controller. If layout and O2D programmed macros is what you mean by settings that's exactly the case.

Yeah I guess I didn't define my terms correctly. That is exactly what I meant by settings. Not so much the macros; mostly the function layer.

The only thing I'm worried about is if this opens up as a GB on geek hack and only supports 15 spots like the lightsaver v2 then I'll miss it because it will probably fill up real quick.

This might even be more popular than lightsaver or orion cause of the uniqueness of it being one of the only HHKB-styled MX boards that don't use blockers.
I expect upwards of 30-40 people wanting to get this.

Is there gonna be an assembly service available for this?
I've never bought a korean keyboard before, but I'm interested in the Eagle. I didn't know it comes unassembled either. Does anyone know if it will come with everything necessary to put the board together though? (keycaps, switches, pcb, case, etc.)
Is there gonna be an assembly service available for this?
Great question. I would like to know also.
Considering I want to give clear switches a try, I doubt there would be any point in me paying for assembly.Imsto, GON, taobao, or through classifieds
Does anyone know where I can buy cherry stabilizers?
I thought there would be an assembly service considering the current v2 gb has this already.

In the past, I have seen where a 3rd party will do an assembly service as a separate group buy, but it doesn't always turn out well. My suggestion is to have your order ship directly to the person that you want to build it.
For example, place an order with TJ, or any other assembler listed here (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=45886.0) and then have your order shipped directly to them. Once they receive it, they'll build it to your exact specifications and then ship it, completed, directly to you.
Based on my past experience with assembly services, working directly with an assembler directly is the best method.

I highly doubt you can get get the board with those cases and those keycap styles for $187? If that's the case I'm gonna sell my poker that's still in the mail haha.

I recall reading in one of elton's GB threads that the PCB for the viper will be cut in the HHKB shape as well, since the Viper is a 1 piece case.

Viper will have that bluish grey as well. Viper is 1 piece design. The PCB will be cut to fit on the case, so the PCB will be shaped like a HHKB.
I'm kind of glad because then I won't feel conflicted for having an extra PCB. :P Plus the tray design sounds really solid so that's a plus too.
No I don't think it will be hard anodized like many of their cases. I can ask though if they are willing to do it for extra cost
You are right. I only have 10 entries so far. :O

So let me get this straight, all I will need to make this into a working keyboard is a usb cable, cherry mx plate mountable switches, keycaps, stabilzers, and leds? That's going to probably be about another $100 huh?
In for a viper, looking for assembly service to add 62g clear and green led to it ;)That's basically what I want, except for the led colors.
62g clears seem popular but are hard to source, can we have the option of including 62g clears with the GB?I doubt it.

I suppose no, as the other duck board.

Teal mods(is this possible? they make teal leds, right?), white alphas, and red Caps Lock for me.
Does anyone know if the Viper supports reactive leds, as in if I press Shift, only the Shift key lights up?
For the $220 price point, does that already include shipping?
