Would it be possible to have a different option/logo for the gold badge above the arrow cluster? I think it would look a lot cleaner if you integrated the “C3” or “ZERO” branding rather than using the current characters, especially to Western markets.Of course,we could give another badge saying Zero for sure. Thanks for the advice.

Is the plate design a prototype or final? It looked like it could only accept stepped caps lock.
Oof does it not hurt your pink when you put control there? I always seem to press it right on the step.Is the plate design a prototype or final? It looked like it could only accept stepped caps lock.
The only way it should be.

Follow Zero, 7 degree, top mount?Yup,7 degree
Whats the weight of the board with everything installed?Will consider about it. I will weight it tomorrow and tell you
Also would you be able to order the plate as poly carbonate instead of the brass?
Oh flip, this rules.
What positioning for the connector?
WKL-only, or will there be a no-blockers option?
is quantity limited?No limited. But i think if i put a limit on it it would sell more……lol
Is the plate design a prototype or final? It looked like it could only accept stepped caps lock.It's final and it support normal capslock and stepped. It's just put in the wrong place so it looked like only stepped lock
Really love the orginal front badge of zero.Thanks for your love but no we won't do it all the same. It's a new design and it have its own badge
Could we get the same badge?
No need to use titanium.
Aluminium badge would still be fine.
Thanks, that answered both of my questions! Sorry about the lack of clarity.Oh flip, this rules.

WKL-only, or will there be a no-blockers option?
Sorry what connectot?if you mean typec port,it's same with all the tkl. On the right side
And 2 layout. Both wkl and wk

QMK PCB?I really don't think they're ever gonna budge on this one. I'll likely try to put an h87 in this instead if I get it.

The LDN has the pretty lights, and USB C. It's not really a downside.

Looks phenomenal :thumb:Not WKL,but we will do WK. It can use 6.25u spacebar
I can't quite tell, but is 6.25u space is supported?

it's a tkl
just map winkey to right alt and do your caps/control bull**** and you're set
don't overthink it
Is it included for Switches assembly service ?Sorry,no. You have to put in stabs and solder the switches yourself or find someone who can do that job.
Tks u and about for shipping to US or VietNam , how much for the shipping cost ?Is it included for Switches assembly service ?Sorry,no. You have to put in stabs and solder the switches yourself or find someone who can do that job.

GB will start next week.
It will open for a week?Not sure yet. Probably a week.GB will start next week.
don't overthink iti doggedly refuse to do anything less than massively overthinking my keymaps
If it isn't too much trouble, could you give price estimates on the various parts (like poly plate, etc.)? So I can think about the purchase ahead of time before the GB...Poly 20 USD. PCB 50 USD
How about having the branding engraved exactly like the original instead of a badge?Original is a Ti badge
I have heard that polycarbonate is a hard material to work with which results in a very fragile keyboard, possible alignment issues, etc. (see Polaris GB). Have you encountered any of these issues during your prototyping? Do you have concerns regarding this?It's a very hard material to work indeed. It easily bend after CNC. We have working on it since last November. Tried a lot of different Poly carbonate and a lot different ways to CNC them. The Top case and bottom is not aligned like aluminium case,etc. Fortunately,we have solve most of the problems.The only thing that not perfect is the alignment between top and bottom case.That being said,you could hardly see the problem,only if you touch it very carefully you can feel a little bit of it.And a lot of aluminium cases have this problem as well.This is nearly impossible to solve for a TKL. Rest assure we won't run something that have a lot problems we can't solve. It's too bad for our Brand. We value our brand more than profits.
$320 includes Case, Brass plate and PCB?yup.

Are the pics that you've shared of the prototype? Can't figure it out plus, any pics of the back and the USBC connector area?Yup, that's prototype samples.Sorry i didnt connector pics. It's plain.
Will you show us what the final badge will be before going in for gb phase? Also, would you have an option for pc plate instead of brass?Of course we will show it when GB phase. If the demand is high,i can give a PC plate in the kit with no price change. And sell half PC plate is anyone is interested.
Will we have shipping estimates before the group buy starts? Also, can the gb time be extended by a week if possible? I'm unsure if I could pay the invoice in time depending on when the GB starts and ends. (Aug 19th is the earliest I could pay)My experience tells me the shipping cost would from 25-40 depend on where you are. We ship it from China and US/Korea have the cheapest shipping Fee. You can discuss payment time when GB is live with me. PM me when GB started,Thank you
Thank you for the thorough response. It’s unfortunate PC is so troublesome to work with (at no fault of your own, it’s just the nature of the material). I will definitely be in for a board though, your efforts are much appreciated!

Haven't heard this before? Any truth to it? Don;t know too much about PC boards and don't have the most spacious situation rn to keep it safe lol.
I think this article sums it up pretty well: https://brianlee.blog/2018/12/14/review-yuktsis-tgr-910re-polycarbonate/

Will you have limited stock, or will you take all orders during the GB?

This is so great to hear, honestly. Both badges look so good I'd feel slightly disappointed if I couldn't use both of them.

like that much better.
If the weight and badges are both sandblasted, is it possible to do a sandblasted plate as well? I'd prefer sandblasted brass over pvd so they match.
I suppose I could take it to my cerakote place and have them sandblasted it.
Are you going to add the pc plate in the kit? ;Dyes

in the pricing it says shipping+pp. is the pp paypal transaction fee or something else?yes, paypal charge a fee for every transaction. Which is 4.4%. I just need to get 320 USD for every kit.

totally understandable. the fee would be 14 bucks out of every order. adds up.
only noticed this group buy yesterday and i think i may join it. think gmk kaiju will look great on it if that ever ends up running.
Do you have a specific day of the week the GB will start? Also will it be through a vendor or are you just gonna have a spreadsheet?He said it would be Monday next week which is the 12th
How long will the group buy be open for?
It will open for a week?Not sure yet. Probably a week.GB will start next week.

I saw the compatibility spreadsheet where it says Equalz ZERO is theoretically compatible.. any updates on that?Are there any universal pcb that would fit this left corner usb pcb?What do you mean? I am totally lost here...
I was just wondering if there are any universal pcbs like h87a that fit certain tkl keyboards.
em... H87a is probably the most "universal" TKL pcb there is right now. H87a page (https://hineybush.com/collections/pcbs/products/h87a?variant=16030978867264) links to a compatibility chart and mentions boards that aren't compatible (it won't work with commercial TKL boards).
That said - I have no idea if H87a PCB will work (more like fit) with C3 boards. It probably doesn't really matter as LDN series PCB has USB-C, RGB lighting and is fully programmable. Even googled a bit (c'mon guys, do a bit of research before asking questions) and it looks like LDN TKL pcbs support all the usual layouts (https://geekhack.org/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=95713.0;attach=195945;image) (WK/WKL/ISO/split backspace).
