i started realizing the manufacturers lack in the threading department i chase all the threads in every case i buy with a tap and clean them up then dab some oil inhtem to make life easier and ensure i dont get stripped holes.

What tap size and what kind of screws did you use?

The only area that I have had a problem with so far is the alu back plate. I can get the screws in and out, but there is a section in the middle of the threading that is tough to get past.

Whatever happened with the Kira S 10 key? I realized I might want one after all.

Screws should all be M3, that's what I used for my prototype and I don't think EVE changed them. No word from zF yet, I don't have any updates.

Same here, no invoice nor mail reply. Not sure what the point of the priority buy was if everyone else are getting their boards ahead of time. Don't think they would need 2-4 extra weeks just to engrave the numbers. I'm sure we will all get it eventually, but it's frustrating.

Regardless of how you go about it, I'd recommend contacting zfrontier about getting a replacement. It's not like the kit was cheap. It's pretty ridiculous to pay and get a broken pcb and just leave it at that. Definitely see about getting it replaced

Alex hasn’t responded to my messages, I can see they’re still shipping albeit slowly. I assume several people who have not received a shipping invoice was assigned a board with issues. There really is nothing for me to share, but I will keep trying to reach zF.

I love how these guys (zfrontier) just think that we need to be attentive to their every whim, on their schedule, with no clue as to when things will happen.

Im heading out of the country (for an extended period of time) next week and now I have to bring my electronics to constantly check my email daily to pay this shipping invoice whenever they feel like sending it. So i can actually get my damn keyboard that I paid for.


Boycotting zfrontier, and smearing this joke-of-a-company every chance I get. Incompetence, 0 communication, emails ignored, 0 customer service.

Saw a similar notice on QQ, zf had contacted Eve and promised to send the payment for the numpads. Should the payment arrive, the numpads will shipped out within 15 to 20 days. Apologies for the delay, on behalf of zf.

Did you get an invoice? Nothing here so far, and no reply to mails. I picked Poseidon Blue case and Pearl Blue plate, both "problem" colors. Maybe Pearl Blue is holding my order back, but who knows since there's no communication? I've seen Poseidon Blue Kira TKL go up on mechmarket already, and my "priority" GB board might not even be finished...
