Glad to hear :3

I need to change my order to WKL though D:
Realised you paid. I edited it to WKL on my spreadsheet. You dont have to do anything. Before I submit my order I will post all my orders (less sensitive details) for all to check for a few days.

I want to get a titanium plate for this keyboard from this GB: https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=98567.0

I don’t know anything about plate design though. Is there a plate file I can share with the titanium plate GB runners to get a plate cut?

I can only release the plate files after final prototype fitment. Not sure Eve can do it before their gb cut off.

Really interested the in the board but i got some questions about shipping. :(

How much would it cost sending it to europe and is there an option for ddp(Delivered Duty Paid)?

It hurts like hell paying those customs because it's gonna be almost double the price of the board. I wouldnt mind paying more if a ddp option is available. It's tempting, but i dont know how much i am willing to break the bank for this one.. X:

We arent sure on each individual country duties rate, more so for China. I pretty sure in both ways customs would still have paid nonetheless. Also i wouldnt want to under declare in value and compromise insurance since i am not collecting any profits for this as a runner and it wouldnt be prudent for me to bear such risks.

Oh,thought you were in communication with the manufacturer. Are you telling me the customs will be already prepaid or they're gonna have to be paid nevertheless? It's literally my own concern,shipping would probably be around ~50 around EU i think and i dont mind that.

I reckon custom fees are the responsibility of the buyer. The seller paying for the custom tax would be ludicrously unfeasable for a GB runner unless it's non international.

I am in full communication with Eve Studio. However I am very inclined to streamline work processes and reduce any form intermediary actions to make order fulfilment easy.

There wasn't any silver option. White coating isn't ready so Eve went to do a clear ano at the moment. I will furnish the white sample as soon as possible.

Its a shame. It looks good in silver! I went with the dark titanium grey. It was the closest I could imagine to silver, but its also the only colour option that I can't really visualize well, since there hasn't been a prototype of concept render, unlike with the other colours.

if I managed to get high enough moq at 80, I will try to add silver to the selection. Right now im only at 47.
I kinda need more moq in order for me to offer wider colour ranges.

Full album here: https://imgur.com/a/fwfwMQk

Let me do some photo spam here (using silver instead of white for now as nanocoating is not ready yet, however it will still give you an idea on the colour contrast):

[1] Black | Indigo | White (Silver) - do note the TaiChi logo orientation can be changed.





[2] Indigo







[3] White (silver) and Black contrast















[4] Testing switch alignment on new design using moon plates
















[5] Black





[6] Profile with keycaps on - don't be alarm seeing them crooked, as there is no PCB to hold it down yet.

Thanks! It's fine by me to declare the full amount for as long as it's through DHL express door-to-door. Now, I guess I have less than 24 hours to decide on what color to go.. LOL

Update: I will post up the order list here by 4th Jan for participants to check (less all sensitive details).

Next task to do:
1. Chase the last 5 person to pay out or cancel order - by 2 Jan'19.
2. Withdraw the last bit of money from PayPal - prepare wire transfer to Eve by 8th hopefully.
3. Order finalisation by 8th Jan'19.
4. I will be away for work/leisure trip from 16-27 Jan'19 in Tokyo - so updates will be sluggish.
5. First progress update from Eve by end of Jan'19. Will ask for one before Chinese New Year.
6. No updates from 1 to 15 Feb'19, assuming it is Chinese New Year.
7. Periodic progress updates from me thereafter. Will post online here in GH as the main platform.
8. Targeting shipping by end Apr'19. Of course if it is done earlier I will do so.

Cheers and have a blessed 2019 all!

Hello,

For me, everything is good, though I have a question regarding the Titanium TaiChi logo. It's an extra logo for 25 USD yes? So I keep the brass one I get from kit 1 and get an extra titanium one. If it is like that, is it still possible to add this to my order?
I might as well give myself the choice to pick which one I want if it's not too late.

Cheers.
