I do not know how I missed this keyboard before, but I just recently discovered the Duck Viper, which I believe is available as a kit. My favorite form factor is 60% and my favorite layout is HHKB, but I wanted these features with switch options other than Topre, such as Cherry mx (and clones, such as purple Zealios) and Alps (and clones, such as Matias). It seems that the way the Duck Viper has been marketed previously is through a GB. I have no experience in running a GB, and I would not have the time to organize one myself, but I hope that someone in GH would like to revive a GB for this keyboard (and its close relative, the Duck Eagle (which has a standard 60% layout).

Here is the link to the Duck Viper/Eagle:

And here is a pic of the Duck Viper:

I would so be down for this gb

Please make this happen, I'm dying for this.

Sorry but I don't believe it's possible, Duck already has a set schedule of his next boards he is planning on producing. It's somewhere on his website but it is going to be Octagon v2, Lightsaver v3, and then Orion v3. He may do the Viper/Eagle after that but elton is the one who runs the group buys on geekhack for the man himself.

I'd love another round of Vipers/Eagles. Maybe with enough begging and pleading we could make it happen.

a whole buncha people have made a similar 'petition' of sorts to get a second round of the lightsaver, to no avail

jsyk

Someone on DT referred me to an interest check on GH for just the PCB and/or plates:

This is probably the more viable option.

Been waiting for another round of these. I really regret not getting a Eagle from R1.

I would be 100% down

As I know, duck has his own GB schedule. viper GB R2? No.

What he said, Viper V2 isn't planned.

Bromono · « **Reply #12 on:** Fri, 18 December 2015, 09:10:47 »

What Duck keyboards are planned then?

dgneo · « **Reply #13 on:** Fri, 18 December 2015, 09:12:42 »

In for this if it's the Viper. Love the HHKB layout here.

apolotary · « **Reply #14 on:** Fri, 18 December 2015, 09:14:29 »

I'm in, although I'm too not sure if it's feasible

This.

I think we need to manage expectations here.

you might be able to get a batch of these made if enough orders are made for moq but I am not 100% on this.

The problem is having the time available, Duck already has been planning for the next year or so when it comes to boards he wants to make. Take a look at the Orion v2 group buy, the thread was started April 11th and only half the people that joined have received their boards. It is just about to be finished since the second batch has been shipped out but it has taken a hell of a time to get them. Duck has already planned out the Octagon v2, then the Lightsaver v3, and finally Orion v3 for his next projects in that same order. If each group buy lasts just as long as the Orion v2 group buy then that means it will be 27 months away until he will have the available time to work on another project. I don't see another Duck Viper group buy coming to fruition anytime soon.

I'd like to have one if possible

I just noticed there is a poll of Duck Viper on Massdrop.

How I wish there would be a new groupbuy soon.

A poll on Massdrop means nothing, Duck is the only one to decide. I'm not trying to thread crap but there is no hope of a Duck Viper/Eagle group buy anytime soon.

lol Having a poll on Massdrop won't make it happen. I've seen crazy things happen on Massdrop, but I'm 99% certain Duck won't do a Massdrop...drop for a board.

of course I know the poll on Massdrop means nothing.
come on I'm not a newbie in keyboard.

Since it is the "interest check", I believe we should make Duck or whoever care about it know how many people are interested in the groupbuy.

also,
of course I know there is no hope cause I know the rules.

You can thread crap how many times you want.
I don't care and I will say "how I wish/how I want" whatever times I want.

just because I like it, and I want it.

that's it.
