DAMN, a custom 1800 is calling my name!
So BEAUTIFUL to see, finally another 1800 setup for purchase :o :o :o :o .
PLEASE for gawd sake give us some deadlines for payments because I work towards that above all else, now I need to sell some of my Mrs shoes (she won't notice any missing) :p .
Looks great, the shipping price is kinda high, but I will place an order!I think it's high because it have big size although it is light.
I can't believe I'm considering this. My god. But there's no switch, right? Could be deal breaker for me as I wouldn't know how to solder them. Thank goodness.

You must pay DEPOSIT Until FEB.28Yes. Great :thumb: I 'll send mail as soon as possible.
I added PCB color option.
I've not used google form, next time I will try to learn that.
Housing is heavy and big, so shipping cost is high.

Hi kin, would it be possible to do BLACK PCB?
I think Black PCB would look the nicest... so do a few other friends.. thanks!
There is option PCB color in option PCB & Plate?
Yes. plese check your mail. ThanksThere is option PCB color in option PCB & Plate?
You send me e-mail which color PCB you want. (white/green/red)
I'm glad to see this coming to fruition. 1800 rocks.
Actually, what got my attention was the "3000 size same price".
If this offer includes the Leeku 3000 PCB, does it also include an ALPS-compatible plate?
If I only order PCB + Plate Combo, how much do I need to pay in 1st payment?
So many customs I want! ???welcome to wallethack ^-^

i have all of kbd parts.(switch.spring.sticker.led.diode.resistor.stabilizers..etc)
you can order together.
also assemble service is possible.

If this is TRUE then I'm interested in knowing all the costs involved including making, assembling and finishing off a fully working 1800 keyboard 8) .
i have all of kbd parts.(switch.spring.sticker.led.diode.resistor.stabilizers..etc)I'm new to GH, so I am not familiar with you, kin.. and it is not a cheap price you have here and with recent incidents, do you have anyone that could vouch? You seem to have good guys like Bunny, Elrick, yicao participating. Will be good for some seller feedback or something. On the other hand, I am still considering and not participating, so I shouldn't have said much :P

What controllers are used on the 1800 and 3000 pcbs?
OH lawd. Such a beautiful board! I didn't even know how much I needed this layout until I saw this board. The fact that none of the key cap sets I have on order support it is saving my wallet right now... I guess DSA Dolch could be a placeholder set. Time to consult my finances.GMK Hypefuse is going on right now! Problem solved. :cool:

It very well could be, you'll have to pardon my ignorance, I don't know too much about these custom 1800 boards and the profiles they accommodate, I just thought it was a matter of finding all the right cap sizes..Sorry! :confused:OH lawd.

Wait.... I thought that the profile of 4-5 of the keys wouldn't be right? I'm a bit behind on that thread. I do have an order in for it though :thumb:

Looks like the Del, End, PgDN will be 1 profile off with Scroll Lock being the correct profile.
I could be wrong but it looks like only three keys will be more difficult to find (you'd probably have to harvest a Cherry G80/81-1800 board for them)
This GB is my first GB in GH.
I don't want to disappoint GHers.
300$ is much money. (I agree with you)
I made a lot proto kbds.
The factory raised factory price at last.
So I gave up making TX1800.
But I couldn't give up loving of 1800 kbd.
Also I couldn't raise the price to keep my word. (although friends advised to raise.)
Less than 50ea(total amount of kbdlab, GH and EC), I might even loss money.
(I expect at most 40. I must be a little poor.)
But I don't care about losing money Since I keep on making new kbds and parts for my happy kbd life.
*sigh*... so the keyboard I've wanted for awhile has finally arisen... Why am I broke?Same here. :P
Are the PCB+plate combos also shipping in april?Same. April.
This seriously makes me regret going balls deep on that sprit build I'm doing. I'll have the cash in time though, so at least there's that.
kin25, I appreciate your spending time explaining! Totally cool!i have all of kbd parts.(switch.spring.sticker.led.diode.resistor.stabilizers..etc)I'm new to GH, so I am not familiar with you, kin.. and it is not a cheap price you have here and with recent incidents, do you have anyone that could vouch?

I understand your thinking.
I'm new in GH, too.
But I'm old kbder in Korea.
Most of Korean kbders know me.
Many korean kbders come to my house and eat dinner together and talk about kbd all night long.
I'm not a cheater.
I'm a man who love kbds. The Real Kbdholic.
Once my wife said "You regard kbds as your daughters" when I moved my kbds in my car. because I drove very slowly not for damage on my kbds.
(I have two sons, I really want to have a daughter.)
My korean nickname is "KI-N25" (it means that I line up in your WTS, I want to buy yours.)
I enjoyed kbd for long time and I bought many kbds and parts. (more than 200 kbds, 30000 springs, 30000 switches, 60000 gap films and so on.)
I hope that all kbders can make his kbd easy way.(also cheaper price)
so I have designed led socket for the first time and made switch gap films for timesaving.
This GB is my first GB in GH.

Sorry for BAD English.
I just want you to trust me.
Thanks for reading my long kbd story.
SUS or Alu plate? I can't decide :(
I suppose the only reason between Alu and Stainless is the weight, right? I like my keyboard heavy, so it will be Stainless Steel for me. But man.... The cost!Sus plate is more reflective, alu has a sparkly finish. But the main difference is the weight as you've mention and also the rigidity. The sus plate in my duck viper is solid as hell. But I much prefer softer key feel of an alu plate. Hence the indecision.
Ki, you are my worst nightmare and my sweetest dream at the same time...
My wallet is close to empty and I want EVERYTHING from your group buys and interest checks... :'( :'( :'(
By the time this board is done, it's going to be about 10 pounds. Great to use as a blunt weapon against home invasions!
Hmm... I'm a clicky switch guy - probably will go with MX Blues - and my typing style is hunt and peck, so I pretty much pound on the keys. Looks like Alu is better based on the couple of post above.
I still can't believe I'm contemplating. Talk me out of this people!!
And I'm not listening to you, Elrick!
I've been keeping up with the thread, but I still have a dumb question. :))
Do we send the initial payment to the email address in the OP? Or do we wait for an invoice?
Thanks guys. :)

I've checked.
I received $108.68 USD
I've checked.Is that the correct amount? I sent 113.40 USD as goods payment. :-[ Is $108.68 the correct amount you should end up with, or should you have the $113.40?

I admit the layout is unique. Love the fact that there is Numpad and arrow keys and yet it is a TKL size. Is that why it is so attractive?
I'll wait until kin offered switches and soldering. I am not sure I know what to do with the plate and case and PCB.
You know what? It's cheaper that a Jack O Lantern! He heehehehehe! Good comparison, no?
I am very interested in this GB, is the cutoff to get in as i understand it Feb 28?
Oh. Your rule changed. I 'll wait your invoice ?
Sorry

Will the 3000 version be Win Key Less?
Kin, while I really like the TX1800, I'm kinda not liking the N C S engraved on top of the alu case.
Would it be possible to get a case without the N C S engraved? If so, you can count me in for an order.
This is a super hard one to pass up... I've been following it since the IC on the korean site. I may be new but even I can tell this TX1800 is a special one...
I'll send my email later today, but my payment won't be in until the end of the week.

I sent my email a while ago and I haven't been invoiced so I was just wondering. ;D

Is the price of other items good? I want to check your opinion.
Oh man, I so don't need another keyboard, but this one would be end-game for me (and I mean it this time damnit!)
So I have at least 3 weeks left until my wallet gets hacked yes?
Is the Leeku 1800 PCB only winkeyless or are other pcb layout options supported as well? And what layout options are supported by the plate? Can you also provide links to the firmware and it's configuration options, I haven't found anything yet.
Thanks, I missed that the photos already show the different pcb layout options.
And about the firmware, is it possible to remap keys, have media keys or even different layers?
Any chance we get can source/specifications for the controller to make our own program?maybe not. :(
Ki, I come to look at this thread at least twice a day because you designed such a beautiful board!i want to make quickly. :)
I can't wait to have one of these in my own hands.

but next week is Korean Newyear Holidays.
so factory start making in March.
I sleep late and get up late in Korea.
so US time and My time is same. :)

Would it be possible to get a case without the N C S engraved? If so, you can count me in for an order.
i understand you.
so..
i will ask the factory..
i think it's not hard..
I sleep late and get up late in Korea.
so US time and My time is same. :)
I sleep late and get up late in Canada, so our time is different :(
Hi Ki, would you please tell us what the angle of the keyboard is?
Can we choose the color of the Leeku 3000 pcb, and the material of the plate?
Would the Hack's by Geeks contoured SA fits nicely on this?
I really want to join this GB, but my wallet is currently empty. Hope the company bonus will be in this month's payroll :-\
I hope you will be in GB.
i don't have SA... I don't know exactly. sorry.
I hope you will be in GB.
i don't have SA... I don't know exactly. sorry.
With this 1800 keyboard BEST to keep it original by purchasing some Authentic Cherry Profiled GMK key-sets. That is the ONLY way to truly praise perfection with it's own ready-made key-set, that was used all those years ago in Germany.
Just keep it real and you'll have a keyboard worth keeping for decades ahead :thumb: .
Torn between this and next round of Lightsaver. Can't afford both :( Well I can, but I shouldn't.
Now you're making me to think again; Hyperfuse GMK or the Hack'd by Geeks. I can't afford both. :-X
I lean more towards Hack'd because I love spherical tops more.

Good girls who support their men need all the extra lovin they can handle plus make sure you get something else for her, to just let her know she is just as important as that TX1800 8) .Oh hell yeah, you always know what's up Elrick.

Order submitted! Please know that I will be purchasing stabilizers, diodes and resistors as additional parts. This is included in my order email message.
If this is an option, I need to have theseadded to my order as well. Completely slipped my mind
i have all of kbd parts.(switch.spring.sticker.led.diode.resistor.stabilizers..etc)
you can order together.
also assemble service is possible.

Great! I wanted to buy a aluminum Korean custom board, and now it is the time! I am going for a silver one, with steel plate i think.
Are there some links with some more pictures, maybe at Korean sites? Maybe someone has links for me :)

Ordered! Silver case, SUS plate, red PCB. And small parts, like white LEDs.
Hell yeah! Especially the splitted payment is great, think lots of group buys would profit this way.

Agreed. There's no way I could afford to pay the full amount up front, and I've been looking forward to this GB for way too long. Splitting the payment guaranteed that I could partake.
So very tempted! But the wallet is holding me back. :'(
Who is going to be the first one to re anodize his case to blue? :pShow Image(http://i.imgur.com/hn5DhNI.jpg)
Don't forget to post here (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=35672.0) when it is finished even though it is not a 'real' Cherry keyboard.

Any reason the "S" in N C S looks kind of strange? Very weird proportions with a nubby end at the bottom of the S. The top of the S is a lot larger than the bottom, and it the shape gets more narrow as you look down.
Will this be corrected in the final product?
As someone mentioned earlier, I think I would like to order without any letters there if the factory lets you decide. Maybe I am being too picky? :-X
Factory made a mistake. so I've fixed.
Factory sent me fixed sample.
TX1800's NCS Letter will be like the right side of this picture.

I have prepared all parts for TX1800 for a long time.
All parts was ready. but keycaps not yet.
But, today I heard a good news.
Korean keycap producer(=LIN3) can make keycaps for TX1800.
The keycaps are dyesub PBT, Cherry profiles, 105key set. (1800winkeyless + winkey)
Colors of Letters are black, blue, orange and purple.(4color)
The price of keycaps is $70 (for TX1800 buyer), $80 (for only keycaps buyer).
Here is 105keys layout. (NOT Black doubleshot)

Hey ki, I haven't received your invoice yet.hi, caomu
keycap bases(blank) are ready.
he starts printing soon.
i can send all(housing, pcb, parts, keycaps) together in April.
I have the LIN3 blank beige/grey set coming to me from the korean group buy.
Overall I've seen only positive reviews, and despite his first keycap design, there's remarkably few flaws.
It was so well-received he's moved on to the multi-color legends right away.
One issue I know is the spacebar being a bit bent for some, but apparently you can straighten it out with hot water/ hair dryer etc.
This issue may not even be present in the updated sets, because he said he would fix it.
Cherry profile, PBT, super thick, dye-subbed. Said to be a very soft texture (softer than HHKB PBT), caps lock not compatible with Filco stem position (but you can use right short shift for the caps lock).
I will write up a review when I do receive them! ;)

can i please get an ELI5 explanation for what i'd need to order (besides the case, pcb & plate) to build a non backlit 1800? i'm just a bit confused looking thru the thread, especially the white / clear switch nomenclature in the OP.
edit: thanks in advance for any assistance, im navigating this on mobile and the thread is just a bit confusing.
his working is not finished.
(he made only blank keycaps. he printed some proto to test)
Printing dyesub will be finished in April.
so you can't take only keycaps earlier.
sorry. :(

springs(option)
gap films(option)
diodes
3 leds. (for indicators NCS)

Yeah I think those caps would look phenomenal with an original Cherry housing as well!
Ki, do you know if the Plate and PCB combo would be compatible with a G81-1800 housing? I only have a G81-1800 and not a G80-1800 so I'm not sure if they are the same. (I know this has been asked before but I don't think anyone gave a definitive answer)

you can use pcb and plate on original housing (g81 or g80)
but
you must cut the housing a little.
it's not hard to cut.

Trying to make sure I've got money lined up for this!!!
Edit: nvm, I'm dumb. So the 28th is the last day correct?
Update.
I took some Proto keycaps from Lin3.
These are just Proto... so the quality is not the best.
He is trying to increase the quality.
I think the quality is getting better.

This is the FIRST individual here on Geekhack to offer a complete 1800 based keyboard with all the PBT keys supplied as well :o .
Doesn't get any better than this people :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: .
no 65g springs?
Wow. I really wish I had the funds to buy this, but I'm still recovering from my Model F restoration that went way over budget. gah.Go for the budget option and order just the plate and PCB and use the case of an G81-1800. It's not often you can get your hands on a backlit 1800 board. ;)
Anyway, this looks awesome, and I love the TX1800 layout. I wish you all the best!

Still not sure black or gray case :-\You could always get both! :P
I got black for myself, but the grey does look really nice. :)

Where did you get the aluminum HHKB case?
2? I've only seen Mimic's. Which one is the other one? O.o

I haven't, there are 2 potential upcoming group buys for one.

If anyone is just buying caps and not the board I will buy your short shift if you don't need it.
I think it does but I don't have $80 for a cap set when I only need a 1.75 cherry profile shift.If anyone is just buying caps and not the board I will buy your short shift if you don't need it.
Doesn't OP say you can buy just the caps at a slightly higher price than GB with the keyboard price?
2? I've only seen Mimic's. Which one is the other one? O.oI was about to say the same thing... Who else is doing this besides Mimic?
Thanks for the clarification, sir!2? I've only seen Mimic's. Which one is the other one? O.oI was about to say the same thing... Who else is doing this besides Mimic?
Just to straighten this out. Mimic Cables is a company owned by tjcaustin. Mimic cables or mimic is not making an HHKB case. Mistakemistake sold Mimic to TJ. His new ST Designs or mistakemistake's work is separate from mimic.
AFAIK, the second HHKB project isn't ready to be unveiled yet. Perhaps there's a 3rd HHKB top in the works that I don't know about but I will let the owner of the project I do know about step forward and reveal the information when they feel comfortable to do so.

Hello Kin, you're still on vacation?
I'm still waiting for your invoice for the deposit :)
You're back, how was your New Years?
I'll finalize my order now.
Invoice number 13 paid! ;D
Now the waiting game.
I'm not sure which keyboard you gonna build first, but hopefully mine's not the last.
If it's the last, take your time and build it with love. :-*
Not all of them are being built are they? I don't want mine built :)

YOU specify in the email, that you've sent to him - WHAT exactly you want. If you don't want him to build it for you, then say it 8) .
How much does it cost to have it built?
Quote from: Keyzus linkHow much does it cost to have it built?
I sent PM to you.
Lyn3 blank pbt for tx1800 is $60~$65
I don't know exactly.
Hei kin, there're some thing I want to ask before putting my order in:Do you like bright LED? so You have to use low ohm resistors. (general 820ohm)
- What resistors should I order if I'm planning to go with amber LED?
- What is old black? Is this the same with vintage black?
There is a choice of color. (I want to provide you with your favorite color)
- What's the final word on PCB color? Is there a choice or did everyone settle on one color?
- Are these cases hard anodized?
So then, what are the PCB color options?
So then, what are the PCB color options?
The OP says red, white, and green.
So then, what are the PCB color options?
The OP says red, white, and green.
All of which shall be covered by a Stainless Steel or Aluminum Plate, hence why bother having a coloured pcb at all?
Holy CRAP. I placed my order when this thread was 2 pages long and it quickly grew to 11 pages. Didn't have time to catch up on everything until tonight. And this group buy has absolutely exploded. This is a true one stop shop for this 1800 board, it's amazing. :thumb:

Yeah the pressure that is felt within my jeans is somewhat amazing. I have trouble walking in a straight line because some of the others here feel I am attracted to them due to the huge bulge that's growing due to this Group Buy.
Currently have to release the tension before coming back, which is a first because the Mrs is expecting me to unleash upon her especially when we get back home but now I'll be drained completely but I'm sure once I see a few more TX1800 photos it'll be back again, that very tight feeling ;) .

one more question kin: what is the amount of the deposit (or the 1st payment) supposed to be, does it have a certain amount of the total order like some % or what?Based on what he told me, it's $104.37. This is for ordering of the TX1800 set though.
I'm not gonna take all the stuff (the case actually) but only the pcb and some parts like switch, do I have to pay deposit for the same amount (104.37) as well?

$4.37 is the Paypal fee.

I just got an OG Dolch keyset for this board... I can't wait to put it on my precious TX1800.

Kin25 you have to understand the fundamental fact here that on Geekhack Central the Cherry 1800 Series is absolutely WORSHIPED and cherished beyond any normal keyboard 8) .
So you have to treat us with certainty meaning that through this whole process you provide photo's and details on how this Group Buy is going, the ONLY other Korean person we all absolutely trust is GON, hence you need to build up the assurance like he has done here on this forum but it took him a long time to become one of the most important people inside Geekhack's circle of TRUST :thumb: .
Don't ever be like DrugER whilst taking all the money in the beginning of a Group Buy then going all silent later on with only a few excuses to publish along the way, trying to wriggle out of his responsibilities. Because you are a NEW person here on Geekhack we all decided to go with faith regarding your abilities to deliver on this Group Buy, so we'll eventually see if it's worth it.
Kind of a dumb question, but in case the keycaps are strictly for the tx1800.... Will the keycap set include a 2.25 R-Shift?
Will lyn3 ever release regular 108 keycap sets with regular 2.25 R-shift?

The BEST gift of all (for myself) is receiving a fully assembled and completed keyboard by kin25, with a new set of dye-subs added :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: .
That is basically all that I could ever hope for and looking forward to seeing it soon in a month or two or maybe even three.
I ordered PCB and Plate at first.
I am preparing switches.
When I get pcb and plate, I will start assembling.
I will try to make quickly.

It is hard to find on classifield, ebay... I know I can find it on taobao but I can't believe quality like seller said. Of course price is not cheap. In additional, I am very tired when I ask seller.

I plan to pack all kind of resistors.
All you will receive 105*5 resistors.

I'm confused here.. has the deadline passed for everything in this GB or just a payment for the full kits? I'm potentially interested in some keycaps only.

I just want to sell my housing and parts.
As possible as you have easy ways. hahaha.
Would it be possible to have a ISO layout with the TX1800, or only ANSI? :)
Absolutely no problem. ;)yes. give me an order form.
If i may change to ANSI, or even use both i will ask you again if there should be some left. :)
Hey Kin, have you received any more samples of the keycaps that LYN is producing?
I'm starting to think I should order a set.
Thanks!
Hi Hi,
Got a question about the housing:
What is the size/length/type of the screws that will be used for it? I'm about to order some screws, and I want to order some extra ones for the TX1800 for backup, please let me know!
"8] Old MX White Clear Switches(cleaned, seperated)"
Does this mean they are missing the switch top? Or just cleaned, and then reassembled?

:DThanks for clarifying kins!
spring, top, slider and bottom are seperated and cleaned.
generally springs are useless.
seperated parts are easier to lubricate, change springs and put into gap films.

Lyn3's PBT keycaps sample shall arrive.

I got mass-produce samples yesterday.
They are Black and Dark Grey.
I was a little busy.
so I checked around and took some pictures.
NCS Letters are changed.
Outside chamfer become rounded.
Overall, I am satisfied with the quality.
BUT... :-X
1) The color of dark grey is different from last proto. so I will give the color sample to the factory. It will be fixed.
2) Anodizing quality is not the best. I will try to increase the quality.
3) Shipping day shall be pushed back by a week.

It will take much times. And it makes me busy.
I promise that i will often come to this GB and post a news.
have to stay seated at my desk for at least 20 minutes before I attempt getting up 8) .
MORE Pictures.That looks damn nice. Shame I could only do the plate + PCB this time. Whoever got these are sure to love them. :D

And I'm full of regret T_T
I always buy goods more than necessary.
So... I ordered the factory to make overflow of tx1800.
There are some tx1800 for latecomers.
If someone want to buy... send email to me... with order form.
Does anyone know if I get the Plate & PCB if it would fit in a Dolch PAC 62 keyboard case?
Thanks, and that is the breakout board right? Do you have any pictures of it?Does anyone know if I get the Plate & PCB if it would fit in a Dolch PAC 62 keyboard case?
You can do it.... I have seen Dolch with Leeku 1800.
Also there is a part for Dolch indicator LEDs in Leeku1800 pcb.
(Attachment Link)Thanks! And sorry for all the questions, just 1 last one, is there documentation that goes with the board on how to solder it up, because just looking at the dolch adapter I am confused.
(Attachment Link)Thanks!

Price, and I like the look of the Dolch case personally. I want to put one of these in mine so I can have LEDs with Hyperfuse, so I might order a PCB and plate.(Attachment Link)
Why would anyone want to still use an ancient Dolch keyboard casing when you could have a fully manufactured, all aluminum TX1800, this I do not understand ??? ?
Weight mostly. Seeing as the 1800 layout is great for general office work and these should work perfect in a plastic G80/G81 case.(Attachment Link)Why would anyone want to still use an ancient Dolch keyboard casing when you could have a fully manufactured, all aluminum TX1800, this I do not understand ??? ?
I'd hate to drag 4 Kg of aluminum to work every day. I did it with my Orion once. It was worth the look of surprise on people's faces when they tried to lift it and found out it was damn heavy. ;)
Slightly cringeworthy were those that tried to lift it with one hand. :X

If you bought an extremely light keyboard some pilfering sh1t-bag will have their way with your keyboard and you've lost it for good with all those sweet GMK key-caps, then where would you be?

the heavier the better... thanks for keeping us updated kin, a lot of the other GB threads seem to go insane as soon as OP stops posting or is gone for more then 24 hours... i really appreciate the hands on approach.
waiting for arrival of yours can be exciting or boring.
I don't want you to be bored.
so.. I keep updating something happened (even small news).
Last night...
Leeku, Lyn3 and I worked till dawn.
Leeku was uploading firmwares.
Lynx3 was making tx1800 keycaps sample.
We are working hard to make good quality kbds for you.
Don't worry about~
;D ;D
all of us are a little busy thesedays...
I'm sorry for being delayed.
I hope you to understand "tx1800 is a matter of the highest priority for us"
and Lyn3 promised to make tx1800 keycaps first above all.
Ki, thank you for your hard work! Also, please help me thank Leeku and Lyn3 for their hard work as well. ^^
I really appreciate the effort you guys are putting into this. I'm sure it will turn out to be the best 1800 ever :)
at last night... I seperated 300qty vintage black switches.
in this morning I cleaned them.

Wow Kins, I think I speak on behalf of everyone when I say thanks for all your hard work, the constant updates have been really refreshing and making me look forward to getting this more and more.

And rinse many times..
After rinsing.. I clean them in the ultrasonic cleaner.
And I rinse again.
My wife said "Water is more expensive than switches" :)
And one of korean kbder find new detergent.
It is very effective for removing dust.
No bubbles..
I sometimes use it when there is much dust in the switches.

PB1? What is it?

I don't know exact name in English.
PB1 is strong alkaline detergent used for removing oil stain in factory.
It has to be dilute with water.

I'm not sure you mean alkaline, but maybe anionic? Anionic detergents are great for oils, dirt and other grime. A popular industrial anionic detergent in the USA is Liquinox, and it would probably be excellent for this purpose. I use it to clean my vinyl LPs.

Good that everything is moving along so fast :thumb: .
This week is Easter in the Western World hence everything will be slowed down as the traditional celebrations are enjoyed by us heathens 8) .
Always funny to note that the Son of God got murdered then three days later he resurrects himself - like a vampire, go figure ;D .
The 2005 South Korean census showed 29.2 percent of the population as Christian, up from 26.3 percent ten years previously. Presbyterian Churches are the biggest Protestant denominations in South Korea, with close to 20,000 churches affiliated with the two largest Presbyterian denominations in the country.
Easter in Korea (for 1/3 of the population) as well ;D

I wanted to send it only PCB&PLATE buyers.
It is useful to make removable cable with stock 1800 and 3000 housing.
I also bought cable (pcb2pcb 4line) and headerpin... but they don't arrive yet.
My Gift for only PCB&PLATE buyer is
1) usb mini connector and this small pcb
2) pcb to pcb 4 line cable
3) a couple of 4pin headerpin.
It's very cheap. but it is not easy to buy. ;D
when all parts of my gift are ready, I will post again.

wow these are the nicest switchtop removers I've seenI don't know who made it first.
Some koreans have made it.
The price was around $10~$16.
I thought it was very expensive.
so I want to make it by myself.
Now I think it was not expensive.
Making is not easy and it takes long time.
I am selling Switch Opener $6(a pair of them).
It's my mistake to fix the price $6.
But, I don't regret.
My tools will be used well and easily, it will make me happy.
Today, I take a rest and design a new housing.
Keyboard inspire me and stir up my deep creativity.

Suspect shelving which is tilted towards the front so you could see what each keyboard looks like plus the use of extra storage boxes and cabinets to store those keyboards not needed to present for this week's patronage :thumb: .
200 is not a lot, try when it's 500 plus, then it might get a little tight for storage around his property 8) .
I remember 50 keypads in two big boxes.

You will be able to get it. ( sooner rather than later )
I plan to make many layout keyboards. (60%, 75%, 87%, 110%, keypad)
Next GB will be TX87(cherry and alps)
TX87 is waiting its PCB.
TX87 is not cheap because of its angle.
So plat 87 will be made after tx87. (cheap price)

(1) increasing quantity.
(2) changing a production method.

(4) reducing production time.
(5) low profit.

Now I am not assured whether it comes true or not.

Any new updates, it's been a few days? Any idea when the second invoices will start going out so I can plan my expenses?
That's awesome! Thanks for providing us with memory foam inserts!Thank you for your info.
Make sure to cut the foam in a well ventilated area. :) Smelling too much of brand new memory foam can give you a headache. :P
I can't smell anything bad.
I ordered good memory foam.
The quality might be good.
I've cut them many time.
I use iron ruler and knife.

A little good news.
I received memory foam sheet today. (5T)
I could nt find it in the market.
So I ordered the factory to make it.
It's not expensive. :)
It is a little gift for tx1800 buyer.

Suppose this would be a question for Kin25 here,
Why have you chosen a sheet of foam instead of a sheet of silicone?
The silicone is extremely flexible and long lasting for decades plus it's a great insulator which would help the pcb from ever contacting the back plate of the housing.
Being a complete newb to keyboard construction just would like to know your preference for foam being used here.
Special order involves some risk
If it was made bad quality. Making again would be difficult.
And it is available at extra cost
Also it makes me a little difficult.

Sorry to be so ignorant here regarding this Group Buy, didn't you say that the foam is provided for all TX1800 purchases or do we need to pay extra for these foam sheets?
If so, then please include one for me and one for Bunny as well :thumb: .
pardon my late comment, but whats he foam for? :confused:
Thanks yuiop.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/DN3XsrZ.jpg)

Yeah you put it underneath the pcb and it's gonna provide some cushion and fill up the empty space.
Works real well for reducing 'hollow' sound when typing.
I tested memory foam.
Which one is better sound?
I inserted memory foam into one of two.I tested memory foam.
Which one is better sound?
i like sound 2 personally
I honestly can't tell a huge difference but I think this one sounds a little deeper and less high pitch so I like it more but I'd have to hear things in person to be sure.
Switch opener.
Impossible. You must be use switch tools (of beast) to do this.Switch opener.
Kin, can this be used to open switch tops once the switches are already mounted on plate and soldered to the pcb?
I don't know if it's impossible, I know a good set of tweezers can also get the job done, probably not as well at Beast's tools, but they still work with a little bit of finesse.Impossible. You must be use switch tools (of beast) to do this.Switch opener.

Hey Kin25, you are a teacher hence your job will always come first before our keyboards. Make sure everything is completed before commencing on our keyboards, your job pays the bills hence concentrate on that and then finish what you can with our TX1800's.
I've seen people here lose their jobs because of running Group Buys that drove them insane with pressure and ridicule from this place, I'm sure you've got experience when dealing with unruly teenagers so this may be fortunate for you here on Geekhack.
Just get everything completed at your professional position first then eventually progress onto our orders.
I'm back. ;D
My busy job was finished yesterday.

for yesterday and today... I checked all parts.

(although I'm not a strict person)
the fault was made by jig trace.

Kinne, so glad everything has progressed, not worried about the casings because every manufacturer stuffs it up due to misunderstanding tolerances or what not.
Very happy to wait because in the long run it means the keyboards are then PERFECT which everyone wants here on Geekhack, no one wants a damaged or misfitting keyboard casing for them to use. Get it done right because your name will go into these TX1800's hence you have to be a lot like GON when checking and re-checking quality and finish for each keyboard that's produced by you.
Kin25 get it done right buddy so that you have no sleepless nights and/or issues related to your standard of finish on one of the GREATEST Keyboard model's ever made here on Geekhack :thumb: .

Hey Kin!
Any updates? Even just a "I've been busy things are currently at a halt"? This is the most I've spent on a GB before so sorry if I'm annoying by asking I just get anxious and love seeing all the update pics!
Likely I mean personally I don't mind if things are going to take another month or more time isn't my problem I just get antsy waiting for updates!
I am sorry for late update.
One month ago...
Tx1800 are made..
But I found some scratches.
So I told the factory to made new again.
(I paid for scatched housing all with 75% price, I didn't want fix them)
The factory tried to find cause of error.
They changed material and fixed.
Tx1800 housing are in the anodizing factory.
Next week the housing will be made.
And.. I checked them carefully.
If there is no problem.
I will start shipping.
In korea.. May is family month.
I had more time with family.
I leased warehouse and moved my keyboards
(not finished.. too many to move)
I lost some parts.. And I ordered to make again. :(
When I was free..
I prepared some parts for tx1800.
Oh.. Tx87 pcb was made also.
But I have no time to test. :(
I opened JT leycaps GB in Korea for chinese friend.
It was finished.(It was not difficult)
And..
Lin3 is making keycaps.
He changed print and film to improve quality.
So it took many times.
I didn't know that housing GB was very difficult.
Many things made trouble and it took a lot of times.
Thank you for waiting for a long time.

But you are far from Sydney.
Other side of this Convict Settlement (Australian Continent), the Mrs is sometimes at home base but she works as well so the place is essentially empty most of the time.

Hey Kin,Maybe tx1800 housing and plate will be arrive in this weekend.
Hope everything is going well with you and the GB. I need to put in a change of address from when I placed my order. Do you want me to email it across or just to do it when the final invoice comes through?
For 3000 or 1800 pcb and plate ordered people.That looks great Kin! So a 5mm cut should be enough to make it fit?
You can make 3000 or 1800 housing by following this post.

Consider this as a buyer review, he does not disappoint at all!
It takes a while to deliver but boy it's worth it, don't worry this is not one of the TX1800, it's a TX3000 with some other stuff
but trust me, your waiting period will be paid well!
yeah thus far this buy has been handled excellently

I recently switched to a red one, you said there was a limited amount of those, with that in mind a few questions:
1. Is there an option for red (good/okay quality?)
2. Will we know where the scratches are located prior to choice? Like if they're on the bottom side I wouldn't be upset but if they're on top it's not worth the savings to me.
Thanks!

I made 10 red housing again.
(good quality.. But I have to insert the helicoil in the hole)
Gray and silver...
The scraches are on the side.. 3~5 point.
The top looks good.
Yeah sure I'll take a scratched red one then if ya don't mind, I've made a few purchases recently so any savings really help me out. Unless you're still having to pay the same for them off the manufacterer I don't want you to take a loss. If that is the case I'll go for a non-scratched red for 300.
Sorry that's a big confusing basically:
If you aren't taking a loss on the scratched I'll take a red scratched.
If you are taking a loss I'll stick to a non scratched red.
Hi Kin, glad to hear the updates.
Could you take a photo so we know what you mean by scratches?

You never mentioned anything about the BLACK housings, are they perfect in quality and finish?
There are some perfect housings.
Don't worry about that.

All are different.
Give me email.. And I will send the pictures.
You can choose one of them.
These are some pictures. Just see..

Yesterday I finished the test of students.
Thanks for waiting.
But.. I have a trouble to control quality.
Factory made scratches again.
He said to me that he can't fix any more.
So.. I give you some choices.
(1) good quality housing.$300
(2) some scratched housing. $225
(3) Refund.
You can change and save the money.
(of course I will reduce loss)
Please let me know... If you want to change..
ok but actually does someone want to sell me their order?

Maybe PM Kin, if he gives someone a refund that will mean there is a spare order.
If i end up refunding, does that:I think logically the order would just go to the first person in line, so b
A) mean the whole deposit amount
B) open up a slot for someone who missed out?
I really don't want to, but I may have to :'(
If someone wants refunding...
I will refund the whole money of deposit.
Don't worry about that.
And.. I am so sorry that late and scratches.
It is all my fault.
And thanks a lot for waiting this GB.
I have many extra scratched housings.Would you be able to post some pictures of the extra scratched housings? I would love to grab one of them, just wonder how bad the scratches are.
So.. Just PM to me.
(Let me know color and plate)
You can change your order to RED housing.(Perfect or Scratched).
Red housings are not many. :D

Cheeky thread bump.
Kin, I know you might be running late with this GB due to personal reasons. If it would help in any way, I am ready to pay for the rest of my order. Your hard work has earned my trust completely, there is no need to wait any longer to send me an invoice. I'm sure other members feel the same. This is just a suggestion. My only goal is to help you and the GB. I have no desire to get my TX1800 before anyone else.
Let us know. I hope your boy and family are doing well.
Finally..
I received lin3 keycaps at last night.
So I will start shipping soon.
So sorry for late updating.
kin, while I didn't join this GB, I felt like I should compliment you on your work ethics. All these updates are amazing, it's really fun to see how this is coming together!Thank you.
This is my first groupbuy in GH.
I think I must have reponsibility.
Generally GB opener reports process of progress in Korea.
It relieves participants anxiety.
Also it makes GB opener reduce the stress.
The communication make all satisfied.
I spend a little time a day to post these news.
I was just starting to be more attentive at the GH community when the TX1800 GB started.
I was a bit scared to join this GB, or any GB, to be fair.
But now, looking at all the messages, the very open way that you have been communicating updates, news and the general happiness present on this GB, I feel very confident that all your future group buys will be exemplary.
Sadly, I was too scared to join the TX1800 GB and I now regret this decision,ery well said; I couldn't agree more. but I'll patiently wait your next GB. in the future.
Finally..
I received lin3 keycaps at last night.

Hey kin, any chance of picking up one of the keycap sets? I PM'd you a bit ago but with everything going on in your life, I didn't want to keep bothering you. :(
There is a shop or group buy which will have LYNs keycap sets too: http://KBDcraft.com (http://KBDcraft.com)
I have the link from a thread about a nice custom 1800 keyboard: http://deskthority.net/keyboards-f2/here-s-my-new-and-1st-custom-keyboard-for-gb-t10849.html (http://deskthority.net/keyboards-f2/here-s-my-new-and-1st-custom-keyboard-for-gb-t10849.html)
Am I too late for any TX1800 leftovers?
My order's available, but I'd like to hear back from kins first to make sure I could still transfer it.What did you ? I'd take it.

Hey so what's happening with this? I'm Interested in a case(1800) even without a pcb, don't care if it's scratched(I can redo the brushed finish if i want anyway) if anyone was looking to offload or if there are extras? Just found out about this keyboard format/GB so I'm sorry if what I'm asking has already been answered.

Just send a polite PM to Kin25 requesting this unique keyboard and see what he says.
Only pester everyone in this Group Buy if Kin is totally out of them, even then do expect to be royally-raped - because this is after all Geekhack, the home of persistent Wallet Gangbangs that never end ;) .

What Elrick says, with one point of clarification: while this is a great keyboard it is almost certainly not the last custom 1800 we'll see come up for a group buy. In fact, there's one running right now that's Asia-local-only, but I believe it will eventually will be opened up for international orders. http://deskthority.net/keyboards-f2/here-s-my-new-and-1st-custom-keyboard-for-gb-t10849.html

I don't see how logging in counts as being active, lol.
I'm just hoping he's alright. Hopefully he is well and healthy.Judging from his history of solid communication I find this is kind of odd. I hope he's okay too. Anyone in his area that can check in on him and see if he's doing well?
Shall I prepare the pitchforks...

I'm well aware of that and I didn't mention anything about keyboards in my post. It was an honest gesture to find out about his well being. I don't even have an order but we've talked via E-mail before. I just wanted to know if he's doing okay as well as his family.Shall I prepare the pitchforks...

Maybe we can just give him some time and space to deal with his life issues? What are you wanting, a live stream of updates about the health of his family? Keyboards (and $100 deposits) are pretty insignificant compared to human life.

Hmmm has anyone been in touch with Kin?
Hmmm has anyone been in touch with Kin?
Not yet, giving him another 4 weeks before I start rattling the cage here on Geekhack ;) .
I'll always follow your positivity ;)
I ended up getting very distraught over this, because the truth is, I put all my keyboard hopes and dreams in this GB, and gave Kin25 my 100% support.
When I say 100% support, I meant I ordered a lot of things because I felt initially, his attitude and responsible-demeanor was confidence inspiring, and I just couldn't help but trust and give him my support. Who knew that things would turn out like this.
I know he is not a scammer, but what really bothers me is the fact that Koreans, Malaysians and other countries have been receiving their orders, but he wouldn't even post a three-word reply to any of our emails here on GH. The fact that others receive their orders, but GH members have radio silence is very unprofessional, and I hope I'm not the only one that feels this way. I am really disappointed and saddened by this more than anything else, and in total disbelief that he would choose to ignore us.
Just wait another three weeks before we seriously start unfurling the hate, that this place can unleash with such ferocity.

You do not understand Elrick. He is actively chatting on the Korean forums and always on 24/7 chatting, replying, and stuff. He is literally IGNORING Geekhack.
In fact, he is online right this moment and chatting, like he always does.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/wYOedLM.jpg)
This is completely ridiculous.
I'm from Malaysia and I don't receive my order yet, nor any updates from him for the past months.
I hope he will come back here on GH soon. :-X

I was talking to him on Kakaotalk but he never replied when I mentioned the tx1800I'm from Malaysia and I don't receive my order yet, nor any updates from him for the past months.
I hope he will come back here on GH soon. :-X

Me too. This is my first Korean keyboard so I hope everything will finish smoothly.
If there's someone who knows Kin personally, please let him know we miss him so much in this thread...

I posted this on the jtk group buy thread but look who posted.
If I were a part of the Korean forums I would feel obligated as part of the community to put this topic out on center stage.
Anyone who is giving so many chances to this guy just plain wants a new keyboard without looking what's happening to them and others IMO.
I usually give people the benefit of the doubt, but this is not fair. He hasn't posted here in weeks without even saying at least "I'm working on it" or "I have them and they are coming."
We know he has the pieces and people have gotten theirs. He frequently posts on kbdlab. What's the deal? To this point I think he did a phenomenal job of keeping us updated with information and photos. What's going on that he's avoiding us? He obviously makes time for the other keyboard community.
I feel really sorry for the people who are in denial of getting robbed. Sorry if anyone thinks I'm out of line for thinking that this guy is jacking you guys.

Are we even sure this kin and that one are the same person? This is a serious question tooTo answer this, some one need to ask 'kdblab kin' if he has control over tx1800 on GH...

I highly suspect someone was masquerading as kin.:(
Just have to endure this and if I was him I would stay permanently inside South Korea and of course contact his good mate DrugER
Hate to say it, but as soon as someone says "oh sorry, my XXX got sick" that's been a terrible sign...
Wait, what's wrong with SPRiT? I've ordered some stuff from him before with no problems, and PM'd him a couple of days ago with some questions on other items.Hate to say it, but as soon as someone says "oh sorry, my XXX got sick" that's been a terrible sign...
Yep. Having been burnt by Sprit and Kin, I'll not be participating in any group buys run by non-vetted members.

This is really bizarre, I emailed him when he was asking about people taking the scratch/dent cases, and he emailed back several times, with pictures, a couple options of scratched cases, and I chose one. He provided an invoice for the remainder of the payment, I paid it, and he shipped out promptly on July 9th, I and received it just a few days later in NV. I received the case, the PCB, diodes, stabs, resistors all in working order (as pictured previously in this thread). I have no idea what the heck is going on.
Remeber the whole pitchforks with Sprit? That got way out of hand.I thought so too at the time, but he's vanished again now.
I also got some photos of scratched cases. I wonder if we all got the same photo.
Sorry for late reply.
Here arw some pictures.
Top and bottom are good.
Sodes are not good.

Honestly, after approaching the end of year 2 waiting on Sprit, this feels like a minor hickup.
I'd say give Kin more time. Not an indefinite pass, but it's only been about a month since his last post.
If you get busy and/or sidetracked, a month can fly by quick.
Yet, still find time to post regularly on another forum and ship out some individual orders? How?!
Not even a "hi I still look here" post.

Agreed, and I don't want to set myself up as Defender of the Perpetually Tardy (worst superhero ever).
However, it is human nature. If you fall behind on something, you try to avoid those you report to until you catch up and have something to report.
I'm thinking/hoping that is what's happening here, and in a few weeks he'll pop up with a bunch of tracking numbers :)

Read the last 10 pages of https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=50580.0
I ordered and paid for 2 PCBs two years ago and have received nothing.
I am among a good number of people who have received nothing.
It's never easy to run a groupbuy like this. Especially when you are on a tight profit margin. I personally is going through it now. Kin is a good guy, I am sure he will deliver the stuff people ordered.
I asked one of the kbdlab members if he could somehow get in contact with KIN25. According to him kin said he will start shipping next week. Take that with a grain of salt though since, right now, that seems like a far stretch from being unwilling to post messages here and all the way to shipping. Not to mention the people who haven't fully paid yet. I can forward my email conversation to a trusted member if anyone feels I'm talking out of my ass.I need to thank you for the effort.
The shipping/group buy for KOREA is finished though if that's any indication of status.
Not to mention the people who haven't fully paid yet.
Not to mention the people who haven't fully paid yet.
Are there people that have paid fully? I thought we were all waiting for it to complete before sending money? I haven't received a request from kin either way...
Also, I need to change my address but was waiting to do that until he requests payment...
at least Kin logged in the other day, guess he hasn't completely forgotten about us.
Can any Korean friends give us an update?
This bump is sponsored by broken dreams and tears :'(
This thread is honestly the biggest letdown of the year in my opinion.It hasn't been over a year has it? I'm not sure you could even be disappointed yet by keyboard group buy standards on geekhack.
Kin was doing so great with updates and photos and contacting people until recently.
No lie I've honestly had 2 dreams with this board. Call me crazy, but I really wanted one of these. So sad.

Oh you have every right to be upset I'm just saying people disappearing, orders not being fulfilled, no updates that's par for the course around here, just most of us are in other buys where we've been waiting years for our stuff.This thread is honestly the biggest letdown of the year in my opinion.It hasn't been over a year has it?

I'd have the same opinion if we didn't have photos of completed boards and other members that have received theirs. It looks like he's done and all he needs to do is finish invoicing and just ship them out.
I have the patience for most GBs if there is a solid reason, but the fact that he just vanished (which is not like him) and actively communicates on the Korean boards makes it very hard to sympathize. Many people here paid for something that is obviously completed. They just want their boards.
If there is an underlying reason it's not too hard to at least write one sentence saying what's going on.
Should most people not feel angry or frustrated at seeing a completed product they paid for and get the could shoulder, while the locals get to have their spoils? :confused:

But what I do not understand is the payment, it is great to pay the small amount in the beginning, which all paid. So the production had been started - of all cases, plates and PCBs. Let's say there are 50 orders, all of them paid $100 in advance, $5000 in total, so the remaining $200 parts are in total $10000. This huge amount was paid already? I could imagine sometimes someone will need that money - if it was not paid for the production already. Of course it could be great liquidity too :)
Guys, I have communicated with his wife for a little bit.
I was informed that Ki is extremely busy with his examination preparation, if you do not know, Ki teaches middle school kids in current time.
The examination last until last week of this month.
So please bear with him a little more :)

What happened to this GB? Is this another one of those Korean scams that I have been hearing about?
The design is really nice, but it's unfortunate that the GB host has disappeared. :(
Sadly, I do think we have been royally scammed. 6 months overdue and no word from the GB leader in months AND the Korean forums all had their orders fulfilled.

Does GH have any guidelines to ban and prevent scammers from further participating in the community? I see that the GB leader's account is still active at times.
This is quite sad. :(
It is the nature of the group buy, in keyboards and in other hobbies, that significant risk is taken on as the end purchaser. This is not a retail process. The expense and risk is high because a small group of people are seeking something that otherwise isn't commercially viable. It's worth always remembering the trade-off of wanting something special. And if you can't afford to lose it, you probably shouldn't ever join.
One thing about this buy: Kin25 only took deposits. So as far as making it rain, I don't think so. He would be a very poor scammer indeed. More likely is his family, his job, and a couple of manufacturing problems all snowballed into something he is having a hard time handling. Maybe he won't ever be able to make it right, and maybe he will. No one really knows right now, possibly including Kin25 himself. Which might explain why he won't post.
As for a system to prevent problems: you can't. Make everything retail and none of the special projects happen. Failures have come from new members, and members who have run many, many successful buys. And, in complete honesty, maybe people like me are the problem. I'm not pleased with how this has gone so far, but despite everything saying this is a sinking ship, if Kin25 sent me an invoice tomorrow I'd pay it. I'd still rather have the keyboard than my deposit back. And therein lies the rub: I'm not the only one who thinks this way, possibly making it a little too easy for bad projects to fester.
It's worth always remembering the trade-off of wanting something special. And if you can't afford to lose it, you probably shouldn't ever join.
All good points. I defended Kin a fair bit in this thread, but looking at it today, the lack of one single post over the last few months has made me lose faith.
I have a lot of components sitting around waiting to finish this build so I would also be very happy to receive and pay an invoice :thumb:
I won't vouch for any GB from now on... the SPRiT experience and Ghostofharry was enough for me..
Alright, so I did some quick math, well, estimates, and came up with an idea of Kin25 might be pulling this off. Please keep in mind this is complete speculation and just my theory.
There must be a limited number of "good" TX1800s from the batch, so his top priority was to take care of those closest to him (the ones with the most potential to cause harm to him), so with that thought, he goes ahead and fulfills the Korean orders with his limited number of "good" TX1800s cases, and receives the full payment for those orders.
Combining the low margins and low cost of Korean CNC work, global TX1800 deposit payments, and the now fully-paid TX1800s from all the Korean members, Kin25 is able to scrape through and come out without a loss.
Just a theory, but mind-boggling, right?

Some parts of that could be right..
I can easily see that he didn't want to rip people off (or else why only take a minor deposit on what is not a huge number of these from GH). I can see he probably had some issues (there were some obvious quality issues with the cases). He probably ran into some time issues. He completed the local ones as he's really a part of that community...
He's probably not sure what to do with the rest...have people said they're ok with slightly messed up cases? I get the feeling he's not sure what to do as he probably can't fill the order properly..I think if he explained the situation people might understand but I don't know...
It just seems stupid to rip people off just their deposit...he could easily have had the full amount...so I have to think he didn't go into this trying to rip everyone off...
Aboslutely NO excuses for Kin25. Absolutely not.
I have sent him over 10 emails stating my desires to pay off my whole balance, as I had quite a few parts/switches/components ordered with him that were delaying my keyboard builds. (Thanks to this, my keyboard builds are still delayed, but I have sourced the parts now from elsewhere).
He had shown me photos of my TX1800, and I was still quite happy to see it completed, and was okay with the small scratches on my case.
I just want to make it absolutely clear that a large amount of GH members have reached out to him both in this thread and in private regarding paying off invoices, and he just doesn't reply to any of the emails. This is very strange behavior from Kin25, and it seems to be a psychological issue, because it is completely illogical.

I think this thread is not the place to tell about kin but he was very busy. I had personal contact with him and asked about tye GB in GH. He said he had no time to finish and pack them. He has not been vanished. He will resume soon. [...]
Bump of shame.like a boss
I wonder what Kin is busy with these days?
I joined the Compact SQ group buy to fill the void this GB has left in my life.

This is worse than stepping on Lego in the dark.
There is no more room for excuses. Time to be a decent human being and give us some answers about the money that was taken.
Also why is there [Shipping] in the thread title? WHAT IS SHIPPING? TEARS?
Also why is there [Shipping] in the thread title? WHAT IS SHIPPING? TEARS?
YES he has changed the heading so that anyone not familiar with this evil clown's behaviour here on GH, would presume he has actually shipped everyone's paid for orders - YET NOTHING HAS BEEN SHIPPED which is the truth.
Most newbs who visit this place have no idea who this clown is other than someone who had lied to all of us on a continuing basis and might even fool the Koreans into thinking he has delivered on all the orders here on GH, which he clearly hasn't.
Never underestimate TRUE Evil it simply cowers away into the darkness, then it carefully sets up another web of lies and deceit elsewhere, just like a real Rock Spider. Damn I wish I could be the giant size boot to finish him off personally.
Cant a mod change the end to ****After 10 months nothing has been delivered****
Cant a mod change the end to ****After 10 months nothing has been delivered****
If any Mod actually bothers to drop by and read this thread at the very Front Page you have him posting all the FINISHED 1800 keyboards perfectly so according to the guidelines here on this Forum Site he has actually finished this Group Buy.
He doesn't have to produce the goods just post fake pictures on the front side to fool everyone he has lived up to his own lies of making something for all the customers within this section.
Unfortunately we did not receive anything from him especially no contact either by PM or Email. He only stole our deposits and that was his full intent thus far, no contact here on Gekhack and no money refunded by him after all this time, so the Mods don't care if that happens.
Just chalk it down to another shady rip-off delivered stone cold, here on Geekhack Central ;D .

I tried to tell you guys this was all a bad idea but nobody listened.
All it ever takes is somebody with a flashy keyboard design and people throw money at it.
Well when it's a new guy and it sounds too good to be true maybe exercise some restraint.I tried to tell you guys this was all a bad idea but nobody listened.
All it ever takes is somebody with a flashy keyboard design and people throw money at it.
So, never buy anything ever? Of all the group buys I've seen, this was one of the better put-together and promising buys.

But hey I'm just in a cynical mood and want everybody's life to suck as much as mine right now.
It doesn't all add up though.
Why bother posting updates, etc, well after he had the money? And why not ask for more money upfront rather than a relatively low deposit?
What I don't quite understand is no one from the KBD community either knows what is going on here or cares..and I find that really hard to understand as well. We have some Korean members here, has anyone actually try posting on there? They seem to have received their goods...
It is just a really unusual way to rip people off...Certainly a smarter/better way would've been to get people's money (more of it) and stop making an effort to fake people out by posting additional information, pictures, etc...It makes you think something else is going on...not that it excuses him or anything but it is just odd..
TLDRIt was run on kbdlab, and it seems orders were fulfilled over there.
So nothing from this group buy ever shipped? Was this GB run in other forms our just ours?
TLDRI was under the impression the GH GB was added onto an existing Korean community buy.

My theory:
- He aimed for perfection
- Had the cases re-made too many times
- Burned through peoples deposits without getting enough stock
- Scraped enough together to finish the kbdlad GB - who knows what happened to the promised 'slight seconds'
- When it came to spending his own money to pay for his own mistakes... start making excuses
- Bury head in the sand and pretend he didn't rip off numerous people from GH
- Ask his friends (leeku etc.) to never comment on him (TX1800 was brought up in the Compact SQ GB and it was quickly silenced)
- Never going to post to GH again
- Live life with no honour or dignity, but still continue to make new boards for Koreans only

The most he can do is make an apology and ship the faulty boards.
Burning your own funds and losing money from running a group buy just wouldn't be right either.
The blame really goes towards the awful factory that couldn't promise acceptable quality.
This is what I know, don't shoot the messenger.I wouldn't get my hopes up.
Kin is still planning on sending out the boards to geekhack members. He currently has a house full of TX1800s but they have minor defects, from what I here they're basically no big deal. I myself was trying to get my hands on one and was told that I would have one saved for me if there are any extras after finishing the geekhack orders. That is all I know, I'd prefer not to give info on whom I was talking to so they don't get bombarded with questions.

No offense, but why all the mystery? Maybe that's not on you, since you're just the middle man and all that (which, thanks for passing the info along :thumb: ), but still. After so many months, Kin needs to come back and make such a post himself.
Don't get me wrong, any sign of life is a positive at this point, but I think we deserve much better, all things considered.
You might have a reliable source, Steezus, but it still comes down to kin's word... which might not be reliable at this point.

Sick part is... we'd have to send him more money first before we get the boards, as Kin has only taken our deposits so far.
Who is willing to risk that? Not a change in hell I am until the matter is fully explained in this thread by the man himself.
Thanks for passing info along Steezus. While the thought of receiving a TX1800 is exciting, I will have a hard time justifying sending him 300+ more dollars after he straight up disappeared.
I guess we will just have to continue playing the waiting game.

At this point, I have no more desire in this keyboard anymore.
I hope kin25 will get back to us before he proceeds.
I don't want the assembly service and the extras. Might even pass the whole order to someone else.

I'd be interested in your order once you receive the goods.
What a bummer. This keyboard looks amazing.
Kin stole our money. It is as simple as that.seems like it he's been working on other boards for a while now
If he has any sense of morality, especially since he's an educator and a role model for his pupils, then he should definitely communicate and give us back our money. If he gives it back, we can forgive him and move on.
Yes he's completely done with TX1800, and has the aluminum in his office or storage location. He just needs to actually sell it to us, even if they are flawed units, or give us a full refund on our deposits, which he has not.Kin stole our money.

so when this thread starts getting heat someones posts for him protecting him
why can't he come here and post? he's obviously been posting on kbdlab
why is everyone a sympathizer? stop promoting this behavior this is how people get taken advantage of
I'm totally not in this buy but I'm just curious if kin comes back and says there are issues but you can still pay him $XXX.XX or whatever is left to get your stuff how many people are willing to do that given this buys current history?
Also did people who just ordered parts and pieces ever get there stuff? I'd like to some of those switch openers if someone has a set.
Believe it or not.
I won't post any other things or reply to any msg related to TX1800 in the future.
Just want you guys know, this is a community not a real market. I used to be in several GB which lasts more than one year, but finally everything is OK. Be patient or don't come in at first.

YES and as a community there is "NORMALLY" constant updates and information coming from the organizer but alas NOT HERE.
Have no idea who you are and if you're connected in anyway BUT we need Kin25 telling us this and not anyone else. The only decency left for Kin25 is to actually post something here instead of getting other people to front him here on GH.
But we see the real aspect of this person here over time, someone that sadly lacks any REAL backbone or common courtesy which most Korean organizers do have.

I don't want to pick nits, exitfire, but you are giving Sprit way too much credit.
I'm on month 26 or 27 since I placed my order with him and haven't heard anything from him directly for about a year.
But that's neither here nor there.
I'm in this order too, and they're both write-offs for me.
I've already passed on a couple group buys I would otherwise have joined because of this.
Only going with ~5k+ post users from now on, which is a shame because there is some good stuff and buys that could use the support and numbers.
It's a shame.

At this point, regardless of updates and where they're coming from, I'm convinced I will never see this board, and there is no circumstance in which I will be giving Kin more of my money to be jerked around like this. This was the one thing I was looking forward to receiving last year, and it ultimately became the biggest disappointment of 2015 and the biggest waste of money.
Kin25, I want my TX1800 keyboard, where is it?

I know I've picked up my Pitch fork and wanted so desperately to impale him with it, here on GH Central but alas that was my juvenile sentiment that went rampant at around three in the morning.
During 'normal' daylight hours I am STILL ready to give him the benefit of doubt regarding this Group Buy. I'm willing to wait another year till the end of 2016 (this year) to get my TX1800 keyboard. As much as everyone is running around wanting to lynch him and dispense justice, like in the old Wild West he still has a family and I don't want to further frighten them into believing that WE westerners are that blood thirsty and vindictive when it comes to failed GBs.
If he genuinely wants to build a PERFECT TX1800 keyboard, then who are we to deny his aspiration. But if he's trying to wriggle free from his responsibility here on GH, then God may forgive him but Geekhackers WILL NOT.

Well not so much that..but that KBDLab isn't support GH at all..and what I mean by that is, doesn't anyone on GH have an account on KBD? Can't they post something to the extent of
WTF is going on with the TX1800s that have been sold on GH but not delivered by kin?
It is then up to the community there to ask him wtf is going on...Hopefully that forces a response from him...
If it doesn't then *shrug*...we know the Korean KB community can't be trusted at all..even if they do make cool stuff...
lots of people have lots of money tied up here, and we want to make the environment he returns to as easy as possible so that people have a chance to either get there stuff or there money back
im not suggesting people cant be unhappy about the situation, but all we really know for sure right now is there were some slight defects with some of the cases, and that he hasnt posted an update to us in a long time whilst he has been active in other communities
what we need is some closure, a message from kin to say one of two things, either that this got way out of control, and that he will be unable to deliver the goods as promised and what if any resolution to that he can offer, or an update on what he has been doing and why he has been silent for so long, and his plans for fulfillment moving forward

I'm still waiting the list from him. As soon as I received it from Ki, I will start working on it. iinm, there are 40+ people who paid for the deposit.Wow, thanks Yuktsi. I'm sure this is a huge undertaking for you and I think I speak on behalf of everyone when I say thank you for stepping in to help sort this mess out when you already have other GB's going on here.

What about people who ordered keycaps. I put down a deposit as well for keycaps but never got them.
Too late, he has probably overdosed on vegemite and Fosters. Somebody call Shortland Street!
Also wondered about this as well. My complete order was TX1800 w/ SS plate, Vintage MX blacks, clear switch film, PoW caps, 67g springs, switch tools, diodes, resistors and stabilizers. Are we still getting those additional items, or should we just consider ourselved lucky that we may get the boards?
My apologies. As a young one coming home to watch that after school way back when, I always assumed it was a Neighbours spin-off. Young Doctors?Too late, he has probably overdosed on vegemite and Fosters. Somebody call Shortland Street!
Shortland Street is based in New Zealand, how could you be so cruel to me :'( ?
Any word about keycaps? Did they ever get made?

Yeah I know from reading early posts that a lot of people also paid for Switch Plate Removers and Key Cap Pullers too which seems completely left out of that list.
Edit: Although technically that portion hasn't been paid for yet so if that's too much work it could just be removed from the final price I guess which sucks for those that did but it's better than nothing.

This is the latest status of the GB. Order will be shipped within a week after payment is made. Kin-25 will send me more photos next week.

That's all for now. Cheers. :eek:
Everyone, for the record, I'm getting a refund because KIN25 sold my custom TX1800 order to someone else, and it is no longer available.
What is the point of having people give a $100 USD order deposit if he is not going to honour the order, and sell it off to someone else, after months of no communication?
I am beyond choked with this sort of behavior, but I won't shoot the messenger (yuktsi) for trying to help out.
KIN25 is arguably the worst business-minded person I've dealt with on this website, and just wanted to express my discontent with how things have been handled.
To repeat: I ordered a black TX1800 without the NCS engraving, and KIN25 had it made, took photos and emailed it to me.
Now yuktsi is telling me that it has been sold and is no longer available. My only option is a refund, and I will gladly take it.
This entire GB is a cluster****.

I strongly urge those who are considering picking up an "extra" to consider how things have been handled, and whether or not you'll have the patience and tolerance to deal with the lack of accountability from the GB runner.

This is more complicated than I thought. :blank:
Anyway, to those who have been invoiced, please pay asap.
The orders will be shipped either this week or early next week.
Will refund if it's not shipped after a week, since I won't transfer the money to Kin-25 until the board is shipped.
Thank you @.@

I hope you can arrange for the refunds to be taken out of the funds coming to you to pay off keyboards.
Do you understand what I'm proposing?
There is no longer any trust at all with KIN25, and it would be preferable if we can minimize any additional delays or damage, by refunding people via the pool of money that goes into paying for entire keyboards.
If KIN25 has any shred of dignity or accountability, he would understand the reasons for doing this. Also, it will minimize money getting lost (via PP fees every single transaction) if the money doesn't get rerouted too many times.
Could I get some support/agreement for this proposed plan? There is literally no other better alternative, if you want to make people happy and have them believe that they will actually get their money back.
tl;dr: Minimize money going into KIN25's pockets by refunding from the pool of funds that we (yuktsi) currently have control and access to. Good idea, yeah? Less likely to get scammed even further.
Nathan you make a good point and I have also thought about that.
Basically I'm asking yuktsi to communicate with KIN25 and see if this can be arranged.
It is a long shot, given how things have been handled by KIN25, and I also completely understand that he requires payment for postal fees, but perhaps we can work something out if KIN25 is in this to resolve and end this troubling situation.
Yuktsi would you please try to help us and see if this is possible?

Hopefully this GB can come to an end for all of us as soon as possible, whether it's by refund or fulfilment. So I will keep my fingers crossed for you, Karura. This GB went from a dream to a ****ing nightmare :(

It's all down to Yuktsi here because this person has saved our scalped arses. This guy has stepped in to make sure those that paid up get their unique keyboard, hence he deserves our thanks.
I gave up on ever owning this keyboard but made sure BunnyLake got his, since he is the biggest fan of the Cherry 1800 series. Besides he is the ONLY one that works hard at making all his Key-Cap Group Buys highly successful on this place which has now become known as, Scam-Merchants Paradise.
Just got an email from our kin25 and let me tell you, he really suffered in the creation of the TX1800.k
Of course like all people here when undertaking a mammoth task of actually building keyboards and organizing key-sets, the underlying fact is that anything can happen to derail your Group Buy. This was a perfect storm of failures that were out of kin25's control.
Hence he simply didn't want to confront anyone here on GH to let everyone know of his failures. Pride and being afraid to admit you were wrong in trying to do this, is what destroyed the Group Buy confidence here. Anyone can make mistakes because that's life in general but not fronting up and admitting to them is the real failure here.
He seems to be a perfectionist so that helped to compile his own personal misery during this GB. He thinks we will carve his name in failure on the walls of Geekhack here for ever more but when you admit to the failures and say something with honesty then we may forgive you.
All I can say now here on Geekhack, Kin25 is removed off my "Wall of Hatred" because Ivan the Scumbag, has now taken prime position all by himself. Trust me, there are far worse contenders of absolute sh1t-bags, that take the crown in stealing people's hope and money.

since kin was courteous enough to write a PM to one of the participants in his GB, why not just resume posting on this here thread and save yuktsi from having to pick up the slack
I'm glad kin contacted someone, but for me if I want to be perfect and a professional that includes communication. He seemed to communicate just fine with the Korean community, so why not us? It doesn't make much since if he viewed it as the board not being perfect since the biggest problem was his avoiding us.
since kin was courteous enough to write a PM to one of the participants in his GB, why not just resume posting on this here thread and save yuktsi from having to pick up the slack
Seems we can all agree that all we want is to know what is going on. Most who have been here a little while know that even with the best of intentions, things can go awry. This board will certainly come with a lot of extra baggage, but I didn't want this to all be for nothing.
since kin was courteous enough to write a PM to one of the participants in his GB, why not just resume posting on this here thread and save yuktsi from having to pick up the slack
Maybe because this community is awful to deal with? I mean... look at the threads of other GBs in recovery. People are working really hard to do their best to make things as right as they can possibly be after breakdowns and failures and people are hammering whomever will listen in the thread with their personal requests and complaints. This thread as well: it was mostly dormant and forgotten about until yuktsi jumped in and is doing a real favor in sorting things out as well as they can be, and instantly everyone sees it as an opportunity to post their needs. I really worry about what yuktsi's PM box looks like. Who want's that headache?
I get it to a certain extent--people put money on the line and expect something for it. That's not a wrong feeling to have, but I don't understand why people keep treating GBs like retail transactions. You are putting money out there for something special, something that often does not yet exist, and you are hoping that it will happen the way you plan. It often won't, and the more out there the idea the more likely it is to run into issues. While disappointment is understandable, the vitriol and anger is petulant and childish, and more than enough reason why someone would rather just let a random corner of the internet hate their guts than have to face it directly.

No sympathy is ever given hence the troll in everyone of us starts to rear it's ugly headWell to be fair, not every one of us.
Maybe because this community is awful to deal with?the awfulness you refer to is a direct result of kin's actions, or in this case inaction.

This thread as well: it was mostly dormant and forgotten about until yuktsi jumped in and is doing a real favor in sorting things out as well as they can be, and instantly everyone sees it as an opportunity to post their needsthat seems unfair.. firstly sorting of people's affairs is exactly what yutski intended to do. second, if you were in a similar situation i'm willing to bet you'd also jump at the first chance to salvage something, anything out of such a wreckage. walk a mile in their shoes etc etc
I really worry about what yuktsi's PM box looks like.same, that's why i want kin to resume taking responsibility for this buy instead of hiding behind yuktsi's tail. but that's their business and not mine
While disappointment is understandable, the vitriol and anger is petulant and childish, and more than enough reason why someone would rather just let a random corner of the internet hate their guts than have to face it directly.i don't agree with this. time and again, what kin and similar gb runners before him have been afraid of is perceived potential backlash. while in reality, what i can imagine is a few outraged individuals demanding refunds, while the rest will sympathize and maybe even trying to provide assistance in one way or another. thing is, kin hasn't given us the public any reasons to sympathize with him. it's like a forest fire, you should put it out when it starts small. but if you go 'better not touch it i might get burned hope it rains soon' and it eventually engulfs the whole forest, who's to blame?
A day that, more than a few times I thought would never arrive. I got my board today. I'm over the moon. Thanks Kin25 and yuktsi.

Owwwwww that's a beautiful combination of colors. Wow. It's rare the gray tone matches so incredibly well with the hyperfuse set.
I mean, it always matches well, but rarely this good.
It's May soon, looking forward to the refunds and to finally be able to put this "GB" behind all of us. :)You've done a sterling job with this, mate.

Kin is shipping the board, correct? Should I PM/email him? It's far from the point where I'm worrying about it, just want to know what to expect.

For my case: I paid the remainder to yuktsi and had no further PMs, emails or shipping notification. The board just arrived in the post (marked as $50 value).

Usually I will update the tracking no. at paypal 2-3 days after the board is shipped. Nothing to worry. Your money is safe with me.

Hi,
I sent a message to Yuktsi kind of asking this, but I'm still a little unclear, so I figure I'll ask the rest of you rather than keep bugging him.
Is the long term plan for everyone who ordered, but doesn't want a refund, to get their order?
Or is it only those people that were billed?
When I asked Yuktsi, he sent me a link with images of some of the boards and said I could pick one and get billed, but I guess I'm just a little confused on the status of those vs the status of the buy in general.
Would anyone please be able to clarify so I don't have to pester Yuktsi for information that is probably in the message history and I'm just not parsing it correctly?
Thanks!
Update #???
This is the latest status of the GB. Order will be shipped within a week after payment is made. Kin-25 will send me more photos next week.

The lastest PCB supports RGB, but it comes only in black color.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/umMB5PQ.jpg)
That's all for now. Cheers. :eek:
Hi,Well, let's say Ki is giving 'x' no. of boards every week, my job is to fulfil the people who joined the groupbuy with these boards. Because most of these boards are not perfect (defective boards are at 20% discount), therefore I can't bill you straightaway. I need to send you the photos of the boards I have and get you to pick the one that you most satisfied with. I hope this is clear enough.

did you guys pay for any deposit?
My Capslock and L-Ctrl got swapped somehow. I haven't messed with the firmware so I'm wondering if it's a key shortcut or something? Anyone have some info on this?

Still pending refund?all good

Any update on this for those of us who put down a deposit on a pcb+plate+keycaps......it has been a very long time since anything concrete has been mentioned. We do see that for those members who ordered a full case getting what they asked for / and or / an option of what to do....but for those of us who pre-payed for switches, caps, boards plates and components have see no updates.
Can you please comment on what Kin25 has to say about those orders ?
Thank you,
Blackkat
Still pending refund?all good
Of course now (thanks for refund which I got today) - but it was all good before too :) Just saw the thread, and was like oh yes, there was something!
Does anyone know what resistors are needed for this PCB? Thanks!
Is there any one want to sell their tx1800 ? let me know ~
