【GB】F62-PE Custom Keyboard 8.2 invoice sent

[petamva]

Haven't been invoiced yet... Still no answer from OP...

[beekey]

Any update how this is going?

[befbef]

Was in contact with steven from geekmaker to catch an extra board. He said it gets shipped in 20 days.

What color did you all chose?

[beekey]

Black, then putting Pulse Rams with Noir mods on it.

[befbef]

Oh wow, I was just searching for nice matching keycaps (have black too) and thought about Pulse with Rams. One thing I noticed: The PCB is angled that the SA bottom row fits exactly the case height. That's looking awesome. But works only with R4. R3 looks like this: http://kbdlab.co.kr/index.php?document_srl=5250867&mid=board_Lsno50
Not bad but with R4 it's just perfect.

[fer.real]

Also going with black & Pulse.  I think that's going to look nice.

[beekey]

Normally I prefer R3, with R4 I hit the caps edges too often. Lets see how this will feel.
Plan B would Carbon.

[beekey]

Checking this again. Man I‘m so looking forward to getting this. 

[fer.real]

Also hoping for an update.

[trikoi00]

Looking to let of of my spot of Black color. PM me.

Any updates on this?

[beekey]

Would it be possible to get the DXF files for the plate? I'm considering a custom plate from the Boardwalk GB http://www.panc.co/boardwalk-group-buy.html.

[TieuNgu]

Got a hold of OP. He was aiming to start shipping next week.

[beekey]

Oh yeah, this looks good!

that was quick

[Micrurus]

I know a little late to the party, but are there any plans to do another group buy on this board?  I'd been trying to track it down after seeing it on the KBDFans site months ago and only recently managed to connect the dots.

[trikoi00]

Just received mine out of the blue. Quality is good except for some minor streaking and chipped edge of the top bar. Really look very impressive IRL. The most Heavy 60% I have seen. The cable connector and LED need to solder onto PCB via jumper wire included.

Awesome! I just heard from OP that orders have been shipped as well. Expect to hear back from him about tracking #.

[TieuNgu]

Received today! What a beast

[mustcode]

Still waiting for mine, hopefully it'll show up soon. Anyone else still waiting?

[swedishpiehole]

Aaargh, I missed this GB. Are there extras that will be put up for sale?

Nice, thank you for sharing these. 

Update: Looking at this pic

Wondering why non standard 60 % PCB would not fit. Some of the mount points look very similar. Is this a change to the case for this run?
I have no problem buying a nice PCB with this case, just for future proofing it, having an option for replacement PCBs would we nice.

Oh! This is my picture.

[fer.real]

Has anyone built and flashed the firmware for this board yet?  The PCB is a modified version of the DC60, I'm wondering if the existing QMK code will work with this board.

Damn looking great

[DoCallMeKing]

I have one of these for sale on mechmarket if anyone is looking to pick one up that missed out.

[beekey]

Would also love to know which DC60 QMK we should use. The kbdfans one or the one from ALF?

[beekey]

OK, I tried it and it is the ALF DC60: https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/tree/master/keyboards/alf/dc60

Flashed the kbdfans firmware and it was dead. Luckily I was able to reflash with the ALF defaukt layout.

Flashed the kbdfans firmware and it was dead. Luckily I was able to reflash with the ALF defaukt layout. 

Even though the board says it's a DC60, the matrix isn't exactly the same as the alf/dc60.  There's an extra switch in R4 of the matrix to support a 2u left shift with arrows layout.  The extra switch gave me issues when trying to flash an ANSI 60% with split right shift layout.

I modified the QMK source and it works for me now.

Found the same problem 5 minutes ago. If you want to do a split space layout you need to switch the K45 and K48 with the KC_NO next to these. My fork is here: https://github.com/jubecker/qmk_firmware/tree/feature/beekey_alf_dc60/keyboards/alf/dc60

Works now. (after patching, PCB was missing diodes and holes for ESC key where for LED pins, etc. not best quality IMHO)

Not the best qualilty at all.  When I got my board, there was too much solder paste on the MCU and most of the pins were shorted.  I had to carefully remove the excess with some soldering wick before the board even worked.

Missed this GB as well. Any news on extras? Or will there be a round 2?

They can't even send me the additional PCB I ordered with the case, so I would guess there is nothing extra.

Good luck getting in touch with either the OP or Geekmaker.

I was in contact, took more than a month to get to the conclusion that they don't have my ordered plates and additional PCP. At least I got a refund. So not real harm done.

The case is awesome, I really like it. Very well made. Rock solid and mine has no flaws, but PCB quality is crap.
Communication during the hole GB sucked. Others take a bigger interest in the people buying their high priced stuff. Would need an unbelievable beautiful case to make me join a Geekmaker GB again. This is an expensive hobby and should be fun, not frustration.
Just my 2c.

[mustcode]

Well, I still haven't received mine... It is quite frustrating.

If you still have time, I would recommend opening a PayPal dispute.  That was the only way I could get any sort of response from Geekmaker.  You could also try emailing geekmaker.sy@foxmail.com.  That was the address that I got a response from.

I'm only meh on the case.  Mine has some small flaws in the anodization, otherwise I like it.  I agree that the PCB is complete crap; I would go so far as to call it amateur.

Geekmaker has been really poor about communication in their other group buys, too.  Just look at the Typewriter group buy going on.  I will definitely never join another Geekmaker GB again.

Thanks for the suggestion. I did email him before and he has responded a couple of times but I still got no info about when my order will be shipped.

Does USB-C to USB-C work for anybody? Got only A to C working.

I only have a USB-A to C cable.  But I have a USB-C to USB-C cable on order from Zap Cables, so I'm about to run into the same problem you have.

I just got a USB-C to USB-C cable from Zap Cables and the board works fine with it.  The USB-C connector spec seems like kind of a cluster to me, is there a chance you're using the wrong type of USB-C to USB-C?

Thanks for sharing. Good to know. I use the same cable with a Lets Split and it works. Will check my wiring in the case.

Finally received mine! Louis, a friend of ALF, emailed me and offered to send a white one with a brass plate upgrade instead since there was some QC issues with the black I ordered. Less than a week later, the package arrived. It is a really nice keyboard and I'm very happy with it

Good to hear that everything worked out!

[switchnollie]

Damn this is fresh, wish I'd seen it sooner.

[fer.real]

Does anyone have an extra PCB that they're willing to let go of?  I've been playing around with QMK and want to make sure that all of the supported layouts work with my fork.

[Tohsh]

Has anyone had any success with the LED daughter board? Sometimes mine is white, sometimes its red, but I can't seem to figure out how to program it to do anything...

Is this tray mount?

Yes, it is. But not a standard 60% PCB, due to not enough space inside for the connector.

[hzh0525]

Any R2 in future?
