[GB] Duck Orion V3 Kustom Keyboard - Complete!

[Oblotzky]

Anyone else's steel plate arrive with a decent amount of scratches/burn marks on the back?

Yeah, standard on Duck's SS plates. Can polish it up a bit if you prefer, I myself am not bothered as I don't see it in the finished build.

[fcoury]

Any idea on ETA for next batch?

[club_sauce]

I’m in the second batch and just got my keyboard (TX, US). The spreadsheet doesn’t show a tracking number for my order so this was completely unexpected! Thankfully my wife was home to sign.

It would be a dream to receive mine out of the blue like that! One can only hope...

Hi All,

Back insert GB is live and the Orion V3 weight supply is dwindling... Check out update and order form for brass weights or back inserts (wood, carbon fiber or silver acrylic) if you're interested on the thread here:

I've also received mine today, I was in batch 2 and in Texas as well.

[8six753o9]

I decided to check the spreadsheet and it looks like more tracking has been added.  Mine should be arriving tomorrow!   

[rainb1ood]

oh nice thanks for letting me know the spreadsheet updated, checked my tracking and its on delivery vehicle

[DukeEsquire]

Does anyone know if Duck has any upcoming projects? I haven't seen anything new announced.

[rainb1ood]

Octagon V3 is what I've seen last

Should be it unless he starts showing something else off

[Oblotzky]

I've already seen GB slot offers for Octagon V3 (they listed gray color so it's certainly not a Orion V3) on mechmarket discord so pretty sure it's that yeah.

yeah i've been out of the game, but it ran already in korea so we should get an IC on here soon enough

Does anyone know if the Orion V3 PCB will work for an Orion V2?

Afaik it's the same pcb aka Orion V2.1

[Puddsy]

Does anyone know if the Orion V3 PCB will work for an Orion V2?

not sure but i'm pretty sure H87 PCBs should work w orion v2

if not, i can help you find a snowpro which will work for sure

[toan]

Does anyone know if the Orion V3 PCB will work for an Orion V2?

Yes... It works. I have both V2 and V3. PCB/Plate are almost identical

Hey guys, I was also in the second batch and just „unexpectedly“ (the tracking said it‘s in my country when I just checked it) received my board (even tho it is not common at all, to receive package on a saturday where i live (EU) Wasn‘t able to check the board entirely, just wanted to let you second batcher know that they start to arrive worldwide.

[rainb1ood]

Received my kit, thank you elton for organizing this 💕❤💖

Duck experts-- This is my first Duck board. Love it so far. Any advice on using the 02D software? I'm having a hard time getting my layers to work properly. And I can't figure out how to set the underglow to a static color. Is there a QMK config option available or would anyone be willing to share a hex file that they know is working correctly? I'm having flashbacks to using the GK64 software that was equally frustrating to use. Thanks!

Anyone know the orientation of status/layer LEDs for the orion v2.1 board, is it + left - right (from topside? 
Don't see any labelling for it on the pcb

plug board in... touch led to contacts. 
This helps sometimes too:

I was saddened that the ALPS TGR Jane v2 plate doesnt work in the Orion v3. PCB does though.

From what I remember, I put the long and short legs on the left and right pads respectively.

You can also slot the LED's in whilst your board is connected to your machine; I bent the legs to get mine fixed anyway, and they ended up being lit.

Ah I should've tried that, thank you

Can we use tsangan layout on a winkey top?

I'm in batch 2 and already received mine. There should be tracking on almost all of the cases now.

[fcoury]

If anyone have any extra plates to sell let me know. I'm taking anything except STS. Thank you!

Nevermind, I got one!

[iEatPuppers]

I too would like to purchase people's extra plates.

[toan]

Anyone has a top black Winkey want to trade with top black Winkeyless? Please let me know. I'm not really a fan of Winkeyless.

[mta]

What is the latest / correct way to program the board (and does it support English)?

[iEatPuppers]

Programming this pcb is a bit of a pain. Follow the following instructions: https://gist.github.com/ankailou/0b3f3183429536d86ecf4e7d27860b6c

It involves changing region settings; in my experience, I was unable to flash without having to change the necessary region settings.

I’ve been using my Unicorn v3 AS IS for 2 years lmao could never get this thing to work. I somehow turned off all the LEDs and didn’t know how to turn them on again

I had asked Invisi about this yesterday and he said that link was old / outdated, so I am unsure if it's safe to use for this V3

Worked fine for me.

[mta]

Gave it a shot anyway... also worked for me.

Thanks!

I have worked with Marcus aka Keebology to get the Orion V3 into QMK. I have just submitted the preliminary firmware to QMK.

Switch matrix works correctly however I am still unsure about the lighting, once its merged through and available on QMK Configurator, please help me test =)
