Very nice poem. Good luck with the GB.Thanks buddy
Isn't this just a FJELL?

Funny, I thought the same thing
Is there any option not to use SF Express? Their local partner in my country is bad. They charge us with "handling fee" that is more expensive than the shipping cost, e.g. we had to pay $65 for TGR-910
I'm in Indonesia. The shipping cost (from Malaysia) was $40, the item was declared as $40, and there was no fee from the Customs as well.Is there any option not to use SF Express?

Hey which country are you from? I’m thinking about using SF for a package but now hesitating. I’m in US.

Amazing for the price! Couldn't resist. What is the production time?4-5 weeks.
Nice!EMS available also. But I need to check and update again.
Interested on the Everest White, is there any chance to have other shipping options other than SF Express?
My friend had a quite bad experience with them after reaching out local dispatcher.
joined for the everest white dc60, thank you again for running this fantastic groupbuy!Thanks:3

Actually, this design predates the Fjell.
Also, you could buy 4 of these for the price of one Fjell.
It also has a ton more color choices.
Will your TB link still available for this?China gb ended one month ago, so TB payment link was expired:)

Is there going to be a paypal fee?please note that all the prices are not including a 5% fee, including PayPal, currency exchange fees, etc. (already stated in OP:D)
How scratch resistant is Everest White?There is a imgur link for photos of all colors. The everest white plate can be seen in the everest white case photo.
And do you have pictures of the plate?
Can we run a DZ60 PCB and custom plate with this case to get a split space layout ?

Can you get DC60 Deluxe Version?That is a WIP. The deluxe and the basic are 2 separate GBs.
Is that 5% only on the parts or parts plus the shipping fee?5% on everything.

can we get more info on the plates?it has 3 types of plate, for hhkb layout, you need to choose type B plate. i will update all the plates CAD later:)
Do they only support 1 layout? Im looking at build it as close to a hhkb as i can.

Whats the time line for the units to be complete and ship?Gb 2 weeks. After gb ends, production 4-5 weeks. Then can ship out, around end of the August or start of the Sep.
Is it possible to add a brass plate as an option?Currently we don't have brass plate as options, sorry :p

Do you know which plate option supports split spacebar layout?Type A can support split Spacebar.
Also do you offer combined shipping for someone who opts for both the regular and deluxe version if receiving date is not an issue?Can.
Does type C plate come support split right shift and split backspace?Hi I updated plate layout.
Hi I updated plate layout.
Joined for an Everest White! However I chose the wrong plate. Can I change that?can. reply me correct plate type.

ilouis_07 I sent you a PM regarding the changes in the invoice. Please let me know if its okay to change the order.i cancelled your old invoice and re-sent the new one.

Talking about weight, we measured. 1.5KG for assembled set. Maybe this is the heaviest tray mount 60% keyboard so far?correct me if I'm wrong :p

If I'm not mistaken, the fjell is 4.4lbs, although it does include a brass weight so.
Damn can't even decide on which color. I want to get the Everest White but can't think of a keyset to put it on!That's why I need keep spamming the poison photo to here.

Xda oblique maybe good... but that keyset won’t ship till Nov
Would an XD75 fit in this case? Similar issues with other 60% cases?i think so.

Any more info on the PCB? I assume it supports split space bar? What MCU does it have? Does is support Alps? etc, etc..1)PCB can support split spacebar. 2)qmk fireware 3)cant support alps 4)etc etc etc... :D

If I may ask, what's the measurement of the battery slot? I got a battery which size is 6mm x 36mm. Do you think it will fit?here we go:D
That was super helpful! Would you mind sharing some of the possible split spacebar layout which the plate supports? Essentially, I'm just trying to see if I could pair the type A plate from this GB with a different 60% PCB that also supports split spacebar layout (such as YD60 or DZ60).i already updated this issue to alf designer. we will mod it soon.
updates for plate issue:we will mod 2 parts for current plates.
1) last row cant support split spacebar for type B and Type C
2) enter key cant support ISO for type B and Type C
final goal: All the plates can support split spacebar and iso at same time.

Please DONT change plate C, i dont want ISO support or split space bar. As Choppersuey said, please keep it 'fixed' layout.
Make Plate B the universal plate and keep plate C more standard ANSI.
Do you think you could add a fixed plate for a cleaner look? I’m going for the same layout as in the prototype picture. I think it would be much nicer than a swiss cheese plate.ok:)
i think it is a good point that we mod type B plate into universal plate. we forgot to do this during IC period, i should apologize for that:(
Would this case work with the GK64 RGB PCB. Looking for a PCB with hotswap and possibly brass mounts.nope cant fit.

Take a look at the hotswap pcb on the TR60 GB.
By any chance you'd offer that same Everest White finish to other color?because anodize cannot make white color, and MAO finish a bit greyish. So we used new craft to create prefect white. For other colors, i think it is good so far:)
hmmm..this early morning i talked to ALF, how about we make a universal 1.5mm thinkness brass plate for all? so it won't affect current alum plate buyers. So far there are no much options for brass plate in the market. We can create one with high quality:
1) 1.5mm thickness brass plate to give strong and stable support.
2) polishing after cnc.
3)Surface passivation treatment to prevent oxidization.(can last at least half of year)
4)of course universal layout with iso and split spacebar and etc.....
ps:we should do this kind of works during IC period. But our purpose is for a better product, Consumer satisfaction and A AWESOME KEYBOARD.

thats great! you should email all the gb participants and ask them if they want change plate or order an extra brass plate.

Looks like white is the only option. See another prototype pic from Alf. Took with a cellphone with low light, white balance is likely off a bit, and not a whole lot of detail. High quality pics forthcoming soon.

Will the KBD YD60BLE v2 60% Bluetooth Customized mechanical keyboard PCB and the KBD battery pack be compatible with this case?Yes, we tested YD60BLE pcb also. 100% fit:)

Joined :thumb: I've lurked on this site for a while and finally found an affordable group buy to join, here's to a successful first one!
When will we get the invoice for the brass plate?i think i sent all? pls pm me your pp email if you haven't received the invoice, i double check my side.
So just to make sure (as I didn't really get an answer to my question):although it’s possible, adding additional options will inadvertently sacrifice the timeliness of delivery. So we decided to hold off having too many options this time. But maybe we can do a plate GB next time.
Is it possible to have a brass plate that supports 2u Shift (type A layout) manufactured at an increased cost?
I've already seen a couple of us here that are interested in it. I would certainly be okay with paying extra for it.

I just joined because this case made my jaw drop for the price. Unfortunately, the shipping cost also made my jaw drop. I am in Australia and shipping is killing me (reasonable for the shipping time and location). Is it possible to offer cheaper shipping that has a longer wait time? I'd happily wait 4 weeks if it meant I could afford the case.

Pictures it doesn't seem like it but i could be wrongpls wait for deluxe :)sent back my skog brass weight and asked ALF to help me do polishing and surface passivation treatment, wow!!!So excited to see that:)wish this case had a brass weight :'(
Sorry if this has been asked before. I assume other PCB's like the DZ60 will fit in the case with the DC60 plate? Looking at the cut out looks tight for usb type C.Can fit

Hello guys, I would like to share some keyboard science here. Not exactly a fair comparison, but you should get some ideas on how heavy the DC60 is compared with some popular keyboards out there. For what its worth, I took the weights for whitefox and orange75 with my own USPS scale, the DC60 weight is taken by a forum buddy who received his DC60 in the private alpha run.I think this is absolutely nice comparison. Thanks @oldcat
DC60 assembled is 1501 grams
Whitefox assembled is 784 grams
Orange75, regular alu inserts (unfortunately I didn't have time to assemble yet) is 1391 grams
With its form factor and no brass weights, DC60 is absolutely heavy by any standards.
Paid! Super excited. This is the first custom board I’m actually going to keep. Had an exent but sold it before building.Thanks for the support!
This bad boy is going on my white desk, with a white NZXT desktop, black oversized mat, and JTK WoB. Now I just have to figure out what switches to put in it!

Seems like I’ve seen a few DC60 posts on Reddit. Are they from round 1 or are these shipping already?
If anyone's down to swap colors before dispatching, let me know! I have a black case, but I'd be looking for purple, red, or pinki pm'ed you.

Louis is back from his travels and was posting in the discord a few hours ago. If I am not mistaken tomorrow he will pick back up where he left off with ALF prior to the storms and finish confirming shipping addresses as well as finish the packaging. I'm sure he will make a post here sometime soon though.
Awesome! I keep forgetting to check the discord. Thanks!

It seems like there will be a 660 group buy before the dc60 deluxe version. Would the GB of deluxe version start this year?Volcano660 is my personal design and it is not manufactured by ALF.
Anyone get shipping notification?

Nope, still waiting.
What courier were they shipped with? Got a PayPal email with a tracking number but doesn’t say who shipped it.
Got both yesterday. Built one with Zilents, the other waiting for Necro.looks clear and good!
Does anyone have any more pictures of the gray/greenish cases?Here is some in different lighting. Maybe I got a custom one off color that wasn't part of the normal options, because I'd say it's bronze. I guess it's full custom, lol. Fortunately I like bronze, so it was a good surprise for me. Not sure about 'green' though. It's certainly not the rose gold either.
Hi all,Hi i already solved the problem for you. Pls pm me on discord !
I received an incorrect order and I’m trying to find who got it so I can trade.
Did anyone order a: Purple Case, Brass Plate
But, instead received a: Everest White Case, PCB, Brass Plate
If you did, please let me know so we can swap. Thanks!

I hope this isn't a dumb question, but what do I need to unscrew the screws? It looks like hex head, but I don't have any that are small enough for it. Hoping that someone can tell me so I can buy what I need correctly the first time :))

Which brass plate did you use? The one that it came with doesn't have 7u spacebar support :(

There are no layouts for the DC60 on https://config.qmk.fm/#/alf/dc60/On config.qmk.fm the pcb is called Alf_dc60,
(Even though Alf's own website says there are -- https://alfstudio.club/dc60firmware/)
I tried flashing mine with a DZ60 layout, thinking it was similar enough, and that turned the board into a paperweight.
Does anyone have the DC60 firmware?
Edit: I was able to build firmware using the .json on Alf's site. Would still be nice if it were uploaded to QMK Configuration.
Unfortunately the DC60 group buy has been a nightmare.Mine was shipped to the wrong address after I got a confirmation email from Louis that they had the correct. I was lucky enough to pick my board up after swinging by the incorrect address. I didn’t realize how badly some people’s orders were messed up.
I always give people the benefit of the doubt and there were some legitimate unavoidable delays last year. But the list of delays with little to no explanation is very long.
I received an incorrect order on the 21st of November (cases reported as finished and in Alf's possession in September for reference). Louis did a great job creating a private group for people with incorrect orders (over 30) todo swaps and try to rectify the issues. The swaps covered approx 10 people of the 30. Shipping paid for by Alf :)
For me personally I could not resolve my issues with swaps. After a week of negotiations on the 6th of Dec I resubmitted my shipping details for the replacement cases that had either never been made or disappeared. I was happy with the resolution which was to accept 1 case not of the finish I ordered and a Bstock case (I ordered 2 cases originally) with a partial refund for the missing plate and the compromise of a bstock case.
Originally manufacture of replacements was said not to be an option which is why I accepted a Bstock case in the finish I wanted as a replacement.
So the cases promised to me were left overs and defective units, on hand from manufacturing months prior. It is now the 11th of January over 1 month since those cases were promised which have not been shipped. The reason for the delay was that Alf did not want to make more than one trip to ship cases and I would have to wait for the manufacture of other peoples cases before mine would be shipped.
It seems Alf has plenty of time to create new group buys and accept money. But not enough to make a trip to the post office to rectify his mistakes from months ago.
Some will say.
"gRoUp BuYs AlWaYs HaVe DeLaYs" frankly this is an apologists attitude and mistakes of the past are something to be learned from. Not used as justification.
*Edit.
I would also like to add that currently iLouis the gb runner (who has done his best) was the middle man for exchanging money. Currently all refunds and reimbursed extra shipping costs have been taken care of by him and not Alf.
Mine was shipped to the wrong address after I got a confirmation email from Louis that they had the correct. I was lucky enough to pick my board up after swinging by the incorrect address. I didn’t realize how badly some people’s orders were messed up.Phew. Close call.
Louis is my hero. Dude's a stand-up guy who took care of me as if I were his kid. Although I was around a month or so late to the "where's my DC60?" party, Louis and I got everything resolved in 6 days (December 7 - 15) from start to finish. It saddens me he had to have his GB tainted by ALF's logistical nightmare and lack of communication.
TL;DR
Louis is a homie.
Will participate from another Louis GB.
Will not participate in any ALF-shipped GB.
The major issue here, of course, was SF messed up the shipping addressesI wasn't part of this GB but if you allow me to be curious, I'd like to understand this part.

I mean, how can the transporter mess up the shipping addresses? Isn't someone responsible for packing in between manufacturer and transporter? Or was SF paid to pack and put the shipping addresses stickers on them as well? Or maybe I'm missing something?

Yes SF comes to your home to pack in China, especially for this large number of orders.
