Duck Viper and Eagle Group Buy

Everyone's getting their Ducks, Vipers and JD40's.  Meanwhile I'm sitting here doing this.





Looking forward to that build log, though, bounstar.  More pics!

Come on down to the OC.  I'm too lazy to drive up to you.

Didn't know where else to ask and since it's a Viper I might as well just ask here. Does somebody know what keycaps those are?

Those look great, I sadly don't know what set those are.

Oh boy, if I buy any more keysets I would need to buy more keyboards to put them on... hm...

Thanks for the link.

Yar.  Those look like Peacock.

[Elocutive]

If anyone doesn't want theirs anymore, I will buy it from you!

[Synjin]

A bit tough to find someone willing to sell theirs in my opinion as it has just begun shipping and everyone that had already paid for it are pumped with excitement.

[Elocutive]

I know, just want to put the option out early!

Ended up ****ing up pretty badly. I didn't realize that there was room on the PCB to do either 3 or 4 buttons on the bottom row and used the wrong holes(?) for the standard 4x 1.25. We didn't have anything to desolder it so I just threw on the arrow key so that there's enough clearance for the other 2 keys. I'll redo it when I remove the red side LED's. The casing is really nice in person. Definitely impressed with the build quality with the kit. Thanks again Elton.

That blue-grey is gonna look so good on my ****ty desk...

Looks pretty clean.  Any shots from the side?  How heavy is the whole thing?  Pretty good weight or is relatively light?

[StylinGreymon]

If my Light Pad is anything to go by, these are gonna be pretty heavy.
Damn thing weighs almost as much as my Poker II with Vortex's alu case.

The packaging weighted 1.9KG. It's pretty heavy. The rubber feet they give you might be adding to the perceived weight. I can't see this thing moving at all on my desk.

Appreciate the side shots.  I mostly wanted to check how steep the angle is.   Man, this just makes me even more sad I still gotta wait a bit for mine.

As an aside, what's the preferred method of cleaning anodized aluminum keyboards?

I think that keyset looks great, but it's a shame there is no way to get that small right shift with BSP sets.

The short right shift in the photos is not from the original set either, I believe

Just got my Eagle in this morning. Now I just gotta wait for my stabs to come in from Ivan's group buy. In the meantime I think I'm going to order some stickers and lube to mod my switches. That will take some time, but I want this to be perfect.

How is your's already there?

[jameslr]

International tracking is mostly worthless it seems, but it was delivered this morning. I checked it out but didn't unwrap anything as I'm not ready to build. The case is sooo HEAVY. Me likey.

Even when mine gets to its destination, it'll still be another week before I get it...

Actually these will be my first Korean keyboards. It is quite sad but I have never used any other mech keyboard in the past aside for a Model M up until 2-3 months ago.

Holy crap, these will be your first cherry boards? What switches are you going for?

[Synjin]

Not my first MX but my first korean keyboard. I currently own a brown and a clear poker ii though for these, I will be going with green switches as well as ergo clears. I'm also doing varying switches depending on what buttons they are (Eg. Grey linear space bar)

Ohh I see now. Misinterpreted what you said about only using a Model M before. That's still a really fast transition from retail boards up to here though.

It's ok.  I got my JD40 today.  I am satisfied...for now...

I went from a Model M before to a membrane for years then I purchased pokers within the past 2-3 months then progressing to these boards once I finally receive it.

Is the Viper set going to be the same layout as the HHKB?

[Karura]

Not in the GB, but super excited to see everyone's keyboards

Most curious about how people plan to work with the layout, choice of keycaps and all that... need more pics!

[demik]

it can be, yes. it can also have an ansi backspace, full right shift.

[ebacho]

Just wanted to say I got mine today.  Perfect shape, immaculate packaging.

[kle5635]

I want my tracking number! Why is it not there?

[Synjin]

Tracking number for the rest of the first batch will most likely be announced this weekend according to Elton

[billnye]

yes yes yes yes yes yes

[bazh]

^: where do you see your tracking information?

[pmh1410]

In fisrt page, gg doc.
