Update for Everest White Craft:
The Everest White we are offering is actually NOT the same as traditional MAO surface finishing method used. In fact, this so called Everest finish we are offering is actually a brand new technique researched. What it improved is the resistance it has towards scratches and dust/fingerprints. And much to our satisfaction it also feels much more premium to the touch and even shines better!

All you have to do is waiting for it!

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.

I don't know how it was in the US. Maybe in other country they have different "policy" depending on the local partner

My information is that ALF will focus on the international market for this line of products. Unlikely there will be another domestic private GB given the alpha test run are done and quality has surpassed expectations.

Did some research, I guess this is the link? https://www.1upkeyboards.com/shop/keyboard-kits/diy-60-keyboard-kits/

It is priced higher than what kbdfans sells (https://kbdfans.cn/products/dz60-cnc-aluminum-plate?variant=2208864567309).

I am wondering if this is actually thicker than typical plates? I am looking for some thicker brass plates for a 60%.

How scratch resistant is Everest White?
And do you have pictures of the plate?

Edit: the Type C plate in general I mean.
update the plate layout and later i will update what is the Everest White craft.

The Everest White we are offering is actually NOT the same as traditional MAO surface finishing method used. In fact, this so called Everest Finish we are offering is actually a brand new technique researched. What it improved is the resistance it has towards scratches and dust/fingerprints. And much to our satisfaction it also feels much more premium to the touch and even shines better!

All you have to do is waiting for it! 😉

Should be able to buy one from kbdfans I think. I bought a 60% brass plate there

There are also some very nice brass plates on keyclack and mekanisk, much higher quality than the kbdfans.

Will check them out. I haven't received mine from kbdfans yet. But I am indeed looking for something higher quality.

Keep in mind that for US buyers, 1Up prices include shipping!

I’m curious as to which brass plate provided by 1up supports arrow clusters? I cannot seem to figure out. Any experience?

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).

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.

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.....

By any chance you'd offer that same Everest White finish to other color?

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.

Thanks! Can't wait for more pics. More pics are always good 😁😁. Could you also get some pics of the grey(green-ish) color as well? How much of the green touch are we looking at here?

Dumb question - would this fit an Anne Pro / POK3R PCB?

I’m thinking Purple Case + RGB 60% + Laser Blocknet & Kobe  :)
Anne pro can't fit.
Poke3r PCB Should be ok?! Anyone got idea?

So I did some more digging on this.

Looks like the screw locations match, but is a little bit thicker because of rgb pcb. This means it’ll sit a hair taller off the screw bosses, but since this is a high profile case, it won’t be an issue. A reddit user confirmed this on the same question (in regards to POK3R RGB in high-profile cases in general)

Which means I’m in for a purple one!  :thumb:

1) 1.5mm thickness brass plate to give strong and stable support.

2) Polish the surface after cnc.

3) Surface passivation treatment after polishing to prevent oxidization.(can last at least half of year)

4) Mail to you and enjoy it:p

To use both cable/bluetooth double mode, I think you need to buy a Bluetooth enabled PCB, such as YD60BLE, or the much-anticipated DDMilli
(available on KBDfans I think).

At some point later this year maybe (either a DC60 Lux or DC65 Lux).

I have been pushing ALF for a Sandwich 65% that inherits the merits of DC60, but note that I think the price point will be close to a Fjell. This time for DC60 he is purposefully pricing at his marginal cost to showcase the community the top-notch quality of his products. "Not going to make money out of DC60, but to gain good international reputation," as he said to me the other day.

Universal brass plate can't support 2u shift. 2u shift only for type A alum plate.

Thanks. As long as there is the arrow cluster it should work for me.

Probably DC60 won’t have R2, even if ALF does he won’t be selling at this low price again :) hope this round of GB generates some positive WOM!

Brass Plate sample(not for DC60 but same processing)

Process steps:
1) CNC
2)polishing
3) passivation treatment
4) final hand polishing

Shocked by that mirror effects, wow!

So just to make sure (as I didn't really get an answer to my question):

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.

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.

Gday!

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.

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.

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.

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!

Note that the Orange75 does not have switches, keycaps or stablizers installed. The assembled Orange75 will be heavier than 1.5kg.

For those of you asking about possible future GBs for DC60, I have checked with ALF:

R2 is likely not happening anytime soon. And if there is a need for DC60 after this GB, the prices will likely be increased to somewhere around 120 (regular)/180 (white).

Personally I don't like hotswap 60 PCB. 60% board is the size everyone can customize their preferred layout, while hotswap PCB means only fixed layout is supported. (Actually gk61&gk64 are available) But a PCB with holes supporting Kaihl hotswap socket is welcome.

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.

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.

Hard to tell what % of people have incorrect orders. I check discord daily and it's always just a handful of people, but that is just discord. I am hoping for Alf and everyone elses sake that mistakes are not wide spread. My ordered was incorrect I am hoping the community comes together and does the right thing and redirects their orders properly.

Louis has been very responsive with PM's so I have faith everyone will be sorted out.

Anyone who receives.

- Purple DC60.
- Dark grey/greenish DC60
- Dark grey plate.

There are no layouts for the DC60 on https://config.qmk.fm/#/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.

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.

"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.

It's all been going on privately for months now. Barely anything in public.

Funny I just got tagged by Alf that my replacements have been shipped... spooky timing. But my post is still relevant.

This is rly a long time. I totally feel everyone that did not get their order, yet. I  am still waiting for my case to arrive. 
My order was shipped out (in the first by already delayed batch) and had only the name on the address label was wrong.  I correctly got the request to pay customs by phone, so I did. Well the parcel service obviously could not find anyone living by the given name living at that address (he also is a customer but from another country) and shipped the case *back* to ALF.
ALF did personally promise to not let me wait for weeks. Well, now (one month later) I am trying to get a hold of him, again.

I originally wanted to get into the g60 group buy and used the dc60 as an in-between. however after how this went down..... I'm afraid that was my last gb from ALF. I paid in full, I paid customs, and still have no board, months after the promised delivery date. 

I just wanted to put my +1 out there. This is another messed up order.

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.

To be fair, ALF is just a manufacturer, and Louis is paid to run this GB on behalf of ALF :) The major issue here, of course, was SF messed up the shipping addresses, and ALF lost a lot of money for this GB, of course, Louis' wasted a bunch of time as well. But making the boards takes time and ALF has addressed or is addressing the problematic shipping and cases (I did not follow the most recent updates).

That said, Louis has been, and is my good friend, but please understand the situation and don't discredit ALF like that.

I hope people can still take a positive side for this, $80 a case at the quality of DC60 will probably never happen again.

I 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.

Not saying ALF is not to be partially blamed, just saying that the guy is not slacking off, but he is working his butt off to address the issues, and some are out of his control, so give him some time if you please.

And kudos to Louis for the amazing service.

ALF GB's should not be trusted at all. If you want more proof, go look at the way the X1.1 GB was and still is, being run. A keyboard that was supposed to be delivered in 3 weeks is now not supposed to be to people until about the 7 month mark. The people that received theirs had boards that quite obviously had no QC done on them. The brass weights have terrible machining, swirl marks, spots from some liquid, dents and dings. On top of the fact that it's quite obvious he lied about shipping a huge portion of the boards. And now he's saying that the machining process is going to take until March-April to complete, even though he's showed videos of fixed plates already...The whole situation is ridiculous.

I didn't knew that was a thing! But I hope they learned something out of all this, hopefully.  And thanks for answering.

What process is behind the Everest White coating? Is it electrophoresis coating?
