Is there a breakout thing for the USB connector? In your pics it seems to be located very low compared to other boards.
There is indeed!

Thanks, any pics on hand?

Thanks. Did you have to solder these wires straight to the PCB yourself or did the bundle include another connector to attach them to?
The Revo & Dr.D TKL used a XH2.54 connector pair for the USB cable (pic here: https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=84328.msg2393839#msg2393839).

I had to solder them to the PCB. I had some issues at first since I first tried to solder them to the holes for what normally would be the USB connector, but then I realised there were some larger and labeled holes below it

Stupid mistake, but it worked out it the end.

Thanks for these details. Maybe there will be room on the PCB to put of one those removable connectors.

It could be that these holes were actually meant for that, but TBH soldering on the connector was pretty easy once I knew how.

Well so much for getting any kind of update this week. At this point we really should have an eta for when to expect this board to be ready. Patients can only take you so far.

Sorry if I don’t have a solid update for you

I asked for update numerous times but EVE told me that he had to get some boards back for more polishing before anodizing. All I get were two pics of polished boards on floor and I didn’t want to give this sh**ty update until I have better ones. But here it goes.

I know this is probably nothing. I’ll talk to EVE this week and ask for what exactly his plan is for the GB and let you guys know.

Yep you were right definitely a let down. I along with many others I imagine , was hoping this project would be a little further along. Pretty much the same progress from two months ago , just laid out differently. I guess we can expect this in another couple months if we are lucky ..

no, it won't

each part has to be finished to fit a specific bottom, since the shape is so complicated

no moons can have case parts swapped, as far as i know

This should be good: anodizing is officially in process

I'm sorry to see one people decided to take a refund. I totally understand it, it's been dragged long. But I ask the rest of you guys to be patient as the end result for Mira SE turned out to be satisfying. EVE wouldn't let you down with the Moon.

Meanwhile I'll keep following up with EVE regularly. Wish I can be in factory 24/7 in person

I just hope the delay is not because of EVE taking on more keyboard GB/IC than trying to finish this off first. Cause i think i already saw 2 or 3 thread thats going to be done by him with alot shorter timeline than this GB which i dunno if feasible.

Yes, thats true. But some of them are designed by him which also takes up time. Anyways, thats just my guess, im just curious why those IC/GB can say like 4month or so when they can clearly see this and Mira taking so long to complete. Someone needs to do a better prediction, i guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

MIRA got reworked a few times from what i heard, and EVE moved his shop which caused another month or 2 of delay

yeah i know that too as im watching MIRA GB as well. Also im not asking why we are delayed in this GB but hoping that him working on other project is not causing any more delays for this GB. I think im a pretty patient guy, being in Exent and EM7 GB as well but it just confuse me that new IC are popping up for EVE, with a timeline no less, while he have a massive delay on current GBs.

Well anyways, GB leader is doing a good job updating everyone when its due and i understand their pain when what they can only do is rely on the updates of the manufacturer.
