Ok, the timeline is harsh, but doable.
Several questions:
1. Will your manufacturer provide examples of anodized materials?
2. Maybe it's me, but I can't see all the pictures in op, so I'll ask anyway for render or model of case with optional brass weight.
3. What's the finish of the weight: sandblasted, polished? Will it be PVD coated? One of the few things I didn't quite appreciated in my Pearl was tarnish and fingerprints on a brass weight.
4. A bit off-topic, but: I've read a bit about smk switches and would give it a try, however as I'm into tactile switches I'd like to know if it's possible to combine tactile Alps bottoms and mx stem and top from linear/clicky mx-mount smk's?
love everything about this except the usb mini. wish it was still usb cdamn. was excited until I read your comment. I'm not buying anything usb mini anymore. will have to pass.
I'm confused. Google shows 6PM CEST and 12 PM EST as different times for me :-X (1hr apart)CET vs CEST.

Finally! ;Dshipping from sweden
Where will you be shipping from?
Do you have examples of all the other colors that are not Panatone? I'm leaning towards "Light Grey" but don't want it to be toooo Light
Stressing out now that I noticed there's a 50 unit limit. I just hope there's still space come Thursday. :(
So, if you upgrade to a brass bottom, is that an ADDITIONAL brass bottom on top of the base color-matched bottom, or do you just 1 bottom that is brass?
Is there any chance that you'd change the usb mini port to a usb c or is it already settled that it's mini usb?

Id like to announce that we've hit the 50 unit limit :thumb:
But, i will keep the form open for a few more orders for those of you that were hesitant on the lack of Type-C connector, because my second announcement is...
YES! L50 is getting Type-C converted by my good friend Gondolindrim. Get your last minute orders in now :))
Edit: Invoicing starting today as well

the form has the pantone color images missing just a fyi
ah i see. i figured you'd want to show light gray as its a specific shade but i get your point
would have loved to get an additional top panel too, but that wasn't an option :(
Update 2020-02-24 - Case production is as of today, officially started. PCB production to start soon.Bless up, hype for this guy. Might throw some silent inks in there and make it my work driver
@Draic#4086 channel did not turn toxic, we are just being objective + there is lack of updates
negative updates are updates too, but we do not receive them either
yesterday it was pointed out, that wix make announcements about L60 and L80 , but straight up ignores L50, this is not ok
the last update about L50 was on 30sept 2020
since then all updates were about "some parts arriving later" and there is no indication that something arrived later
1 - @wixxzblu, screws
where they are? can you show us or say something?
if they are slightly packed, could you please unpack and show us them in action
problem with screws is ok, but kinda uhhh, is it that difficult to source screws?
2 - @wixxzblu, cases
where they are? can you show us photos of ALL done cases?
in January you said you will provide photos of something and provide nothing
when people asked about cases and colors you pointed to your streams (lmao)
in the end, do you have cases or not?
3 - @wixxzblu, plates
this keyboard should contain plates, but I do not remember state of said plates were mentioned even once
are they done? are they delayed? are they in shipping void? photos?
4 - @wixxzblu, PCBs
what was the reason to change pcbs and pcb designer if V1.0 pcbs were fine?
like, what
look, one maker was procrastinating for a long time, then he got it together and boom: https://i.imgur.com/1d7U0Mm.jpg
can you show us something like this? no? why? it is only fifty something cases, not one thousand of them
at this moment I assume you should have everything but pcbs, am I right?
show us something, at this point I do not believe you have anything related to this keyboard
your "warning for people that keep being negative" is ridiculous
you do not provide anything, ignore people
and when people started to doubt you, you came up with "why, I will ban you, do not say bad things"
nice
hello everyone, update time!Wanna know the real bull****? Runners are supposed to post updates HERE in GH: https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=88717.msg2625442#msg2625442
today our dear friend wixxzblu made an update - budget for L50 is gone :thumb:
budget is gone, yet production of full product is not finished and overall things do not look good at all
want to know more? go to discord, but be gentle, wix is very sensitive and will ban you for questions he do not want to answer or find inapropriate
after that, I asked questions that were not raised in the latest times or there was no certain answers from previous statements from GB runner
keep in mind, there are zero official updates for almost half a year and today's update was made after three days of pings
only updates are stuff like "this will arrive next week" with no confirmation that it really has arrived
I know what groupbuy is and how it works, I know about delays, I know about things that sometimes can not be controlled, this is not my first groupbuy
but when GB runner can not provide any updates and reluctant to talk about his product - such behavior raise some concerns and questions
after I sent message below, I was banned from server :thumb:
with this ban it is very clear - wixxzblu, as a GB runner, can not make honest answers on these questionsQuote@Draic#4086 channel did not turn toxic, we are just being objective + there is lack of updates

The problem is that we don't know if anything is ready. As far as we can guess, 3rd version of L50 PCB is in development by Gondo, no protos were reported so far as well as no estimate is provided.
We're like mushrooms in terms of surrounding we're kept in and the kind of stuff we're fed with.
I have received today my package containing the L60
I'm sorry about the accident, and hope things get better.The problem is that we don't know if anything is ready. As far as we can guess, 3rd version of L50 PCB is in development by Gondo, no protos were reported so far as well as no estimate is provided.

I was asked by wixx not to say anything here, but since I was directly cited, here goes. This PCB I'm designing underwent three revisions and I'm to deliver him the files this weekend; I was victim of an accident recently and I'm still having trouble sleeping and walking, let alone working for 14 hours daily like I used to.
Then again, wixx asked me not to say anything so this will be all I have to say for now until he allows me to publicize the state of the PCB. I'm doing my best and he is too.
As far as delays or deliver I am not entitled to assert anything as I'm only the PCB guy.

That being said, there consumers who paid good amounts of money that are being held on the line here. We don't expect extreme divulgence of personal information, but some level of professionalism, including informing people on this forum (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=88717.msg2625442#msg2625442) IS expected.QuoteI'm doing my best and he is too.
No, he is not. If he is, his 'best' is piss poor. If there are delays, whatever, but people who have taken part in this groupbuy deserve updates. Things happen, but groupbuy participants shouldn't have to be fed **** and kept in the dark. They also shouldn't have to sleuth for themselves.
Well, apparently got banned after trying to get back to server.Just move on with your life already.
One day I use the link to join it and request membership for all keyboard projects and several days after can't see the Lynx server in the list, can't get access again via different links as well.
And according to my sources, the role request is no more.
I get it as a confirmation that all GB participants are ****ed and all that L60 and L80 were just proto leftovers.
First Lyra, then Lynx... Seems like a pattern to me.
I've moved on long ago and big time.You clearly haven't moved on if you're still here complaining.
It's that I just hate liars and the state of uncertainty.
I'm fairly certain this GB is a lost cause, so yeah, moving on.
I cannot find the discord anymore, but I still have hope and this is an amazing looking keyboard.
I cannot find the discord anymore, but I still have hope and this is an amazing looking keyboard.Given the circumstances maybe you can buy someone's spot? Idk if the runner would allow it but maybe worth checking if you are interested in it.

As someone with a slot I cannot recommend buying a slot lol.
Christ! I was upset I missed this at the time. Looks like I dodged a bullet....Yeah... none of us are getting this board lol

It's been 617 days since i paid for this keyboard, and still no news :))you aren't going to get any. You got scammed
Just to be clear: albeit the PCB is working, there are no MCUs available on the market to manufacture it. Hence the hold up. As of yesterday I agreed to redesign the PCB to a multi-MCU strategy.
And I don't understand why I would be "hard to get a hold of", I have answered krautkat immediately everytime he contacted me...
Is lack of MCU still a case?
Apparently, it's not for Geon it seems.Show Image(http://)
ayy wixx any updates :cool:
been waiting for updates since february 2021 :thumb:
Is that a most silent and low profile exit scam ever?
Wonder what’s the situation with that PCB, lol
Sad to see this one due. Obviously because my money is gone, but also because I like the 50% concept and very few others have gone down this path.

Anyone knows another keyboard with this layout?
Anyone knows another keyboard with this layout?
the Monokei Neko has the same layout I think. I'm actually in the process of designing an open-source version of this board as well, which I will post here once it's done.

Hey there, thanks for this info! The Monokei Neko is indeed very similar to this, didn't manage to find that one. Too bad it's not split space and HHKB style only.
I'm looking for a minimal real estate, but super functional keeb for general purpose, but also coding. That's why I think this one with the extra column hits the sweet spot (curlies {} and brackets [] included without gymnastics).
Definitely interested in your project, is there anything you need help with?
Edit: I see now that the Monokey board can be split space, but not full bottom row still... The corner CTRLs are too valuable to just write off for everyone. Quite pricey too.
Anyone knows another keyboard with this layout?
Thanks! Close, but not close enough. Don't want the macro column and I need full width bottom row.Anyone knows another keyboard with this layout?
Try the Delta 50
