[GB] CA66 Custom Keyboard Kit Round 2 (Shipping Now)

[Sythe]

I asked yesterday via the chat on their website and they said they hope to start sending out tracking numbers today via email update. It sounded like if you created a login for play-keyboard.store when you joined the GB you might be able to see your tracking number there too

Ok, cool.
I don't think I signed up on the site when I did my order, so will have to wait for the email and hope mine is in the first batch...

Guys, all orders are now in the shipping company right now awaiting for being shipped (including white cases).
Unfortunately we got 3 orders lacking of brass plates. Another small production was on going earlier today already.
So it means that there will be some extra brass plates put on our site after all GB orders are sent (and other extra parts as well).

Shipping numbers should be out these days, but I (Barry) am going to Taipei for Computex for next 3 days.
So I won't be able to update numbers to orders, as they might be already on the way to you guys.
I will finish the work as soon as I get back.

Thanks!

Thanks for the update!

Will there be a notice here or via email when the extras go up on the website? And is there any timeframe for when those will go up after GB completion?
What about the PCBs that were promised for those of us from R1?

[jariss]

Thanks for the updates. Happy to see things moving. Have fun at computex.

Got an email with a tracking number from the site I ordered from, although this may be because I do live on the same island as Barry does.

Have fun building everyone!

Just took delivery of this beauty! Thanks for hosting this GB Barry, and I hope everyone else loves their new case as much as I do

I live on the same island as the starter of this GB, so my shipping was handled with a local carrier called SF.

Most orders are shipped by DHL so don’t worry.

Quick question, anyone know how to control the rgb LED strip?

Not that I’m aware of but because they were concerned about it I figured I’d mention that DHL is being used for this GB.

What battery did you use for your build?

SF Express is just slow, that's all.  I'm glad to hear packages are being shipped DHL.

Here's the build I promised to show Barry as soon as I got my hands on a CA66 <3

What battery did you use for your build?

Just a 2500 mAh lithium battery I had left over from an Adafruit electronics buy.

I've run into trouble with the Bluetooth wireless function on the keyboard. The battery I have plugged in does charge with the switch in the off position, and I have a battery tester that reads it as having been fully charged. But when I turn the power on via the switch between tab and Q, nothing happens. Any ideas?

And nevermind! Just a quick PSA/tip for people that have purchased the bluetooth PCB. The power leads on all batteries that you buy to fit this board will be reversed. When inserted into the board, the red lead should, in fact, match up with the positive (+) silkscreen on the PCB (quite obvious in hindsight, but I assumed any batteries bought with the same connector would be compatible). A detached lead that you can solder to your own battery is included, which is already in the correct orientation, so if you don't want to fiddle around with the connector, you can just snip it off and solder on the replacement provided.

Red wire on bottom, black on top. That how it should be, but the stock connector on batteries have it reversed so that red is on top when it's plugged in. Just swap the two around in the plastic housing for the leads or cut it off and solder on the included extra connector that comes with the CA66. So my battery (and pretty much all other batteries) will have the red wire on top when you first get them. Switch, and youre done. The connector isn't symmetrical, so that's why you have to fiddle around with the wires.

[EvilemX8]

How does the board sound? Do you have a brass plate or is that just a gold alu? There are reports of the board being somewhat hollow sounding so I'm figuring out what foam to buy.

Are many people still waiting on teaching information? I haven't received an email yet

Still waiting for shipping info here. IIRC Barry said he would be sending out shipping info after Computex, but packages were going out in the meantime.

[DoCallMeKing]

I really need at least 1 BT PCB if anyone has 1 or 2 they’d be willing to sell.
Thanks a lot everyone. ENJOY!!!

Yeah, I got a white case. Delivery notice is June 4th.

Got my tracking from DHL, June 4th delivery. Purple case, WKL. Let's goo, so ready for this

[EvilemX8]

Nevermind just got shipping notification too! June 3rd White Case!

[EvilemX8]

Upon checking tracking details looks like package weight is 1.1lbs which is way too light for a keyboard. Anyone else have a similiar weight?

Al I have coming is a bt pcb, aluminum plate, and ti badge and mine also says 1.1lbs. It’s probably the same on all the packages just to make inputting details easier.

Did you guys receive an email regarding tracking or was it through the website? My board probably hasn't shipped yet but I'm just curious

I've signed up for DHL shipping notifications previously so anytime a DHL shipment goes to my home address I get a text.

Are those  Mil Max sockets?? Supposedly, they didn't fit R1, but if they fit R2, amazing!

[melikewater]

I hope I can buy spare parts soon. I wanna get a BT PCB like everyone else too for my R1 CA66!

I'm in Australia and I got a tracking DHL tracking number this morning fwiw.

In Canada and got my tracking number today too! It's coming Tuesday! Yaaay finally

Thanks! I'll take a look at setting up shipping notifications and see if my board is on its way!
