In the IC you mentioned adding a nameplate and more features, did you end up doing that or is this a GB for a R2 of the same board, I would love to get the same board, if the changes were made do you have a pic of a render of what they look like? I have yet to see these changes and would like to base my decision on how the board looks if it does have these changes.

The kit says it comes with a "diffuser arylic". What is that for? The board doesn't have underglow lights (as far as I know).

Opinions on brass plate, is it worth it?

Personally, I love the way brass sounds compared to Aluminum.  I went with it because it can really help make boards sound better.

Oof I'm still deciding whether to stay with grey or go with black instead. Do you have comparisons or examples of the board in Grey? Most of the ones I could see are in Black/Silver/Purple/Blue.

3) Are the function keys programmable (e.g. change to volume up/down)

So is this the same board by Taeha and it's a silver?

I put in an order for grey but tempted to change to silver now. The colour looks kinda matte? I'm used to seeing silvers being very shiny, which I don't like, but that looks almost an off-white towards grey which is pretty appealing tbh.

e. Not to mention the tasteful thiccness of it. Oh my god, it even has a watermark.

1) Big. Very big. Bigger than a tkl, and approaching smaller 1800 layouts
2) No. It's much shorter than it looks, only the palm just below the fingers touches it
3) The entire board is programmable through QMK

EDIT: Jacky, it was not meant as something mean or bad.  It was more of a joke and laughing with him not being mean to him.

To "Rib" in English means "to jokingly give a hard time". 

I'm very happy to see R2 be so popular!  That means you have a fantastic design and I hope you know that!

Also looking back at R1, I'm not sure if I want to edit my order to have a different color bottom.  I know I want the grey top, but something about having that purple bottom seems kind of cool.  Or even just a black bottom.  Any thoughts?

Post by: InvidiousIgnoramus on Wed, 30 October 2019, 11:51:10


Some questions:
1) What are the dimensions?
2) Can the bottom side be used as a wrist rest or is it too narrow for that?
3) Are the function keys programmable (e.g. change to volume up/down)
4) What type of mounting method does this keyboard use? (e.g. integrated, top mount, etc)

1) Big. Very big. Bigger than a tkl, and approaching smaller 1800 layouts
2) No. It's much shorter than it looks, only the palm just below the fingers touches it
3) The entire board is programmable through QMK
4) the board is top mount, 8 points IIRC

Hey man, as a side note, I have to rib you a little bit.  Remember when you said there was no way this would hit the limit so quickly?
Unless I'm crazy, I said it wouldn't sell out in a day, did I not?

Hi jacky - first thanks for doing this R2! Second, seeing as I've got 1 chance to choose the colour now I was wondering if you could give an idea how different is the e-white and/or silver compared to the mao offered in R1? Having hard time choosing which colour to go for, they all look so good.

Anyone else who has an idea also welcome to give your thoughts.

MAO tends to look grayish.  That was the de-facto "white" that was being offered before electrophoresis was being used/introduced.

Silver is done by anodization.  You can take a look at the board Nathan build in the OP.

E-white is a smooth white surface done by the aforementioned electrophoresis method.

I don't know if this helps.

Yes it does help, thank you. I actually very much like that greyish white finish. I do prefer a more matte finish so maybe I will go with e-white instead.

Paid. Looking forward to receiving this chonker.

Jacky, would it be possible to get some dampening foam made for this bad boy? I think given its size and shape, I feel like some custom plate and case foam or something would help reduce hollowness and improve feel a bit. I don't know if this is possible on your end, but I think you may be able to send your designs to https://mkultra.click/pages/contact-us and get some foam made.

Hey Jacky, just wanted to see if there will be any extra pcb's for sale once all the regular orders are filled?

Ended up frying my PCB (electric discharge shock?) for my R1 S7, and man do I miss using that keyboard :-(
For sure

You can pm me  on discord

Has anyone had issues after flashing qmk?

Yesterday we built a brand new Elephant, it worked out of the box except some keys were mapped wired so I made a new qmk keymap and flashed it.
It flashes ok, but it won't register any key strokes and the leds are off.

I've tried to flash the default firmware from qmk but with the same result.

What am I missing? Do I need to jumper something on the pcb for using qmk?

The firmware found in qmk is for the R1 pcb and won't work for R2. There's a PR for adding R2 support but it hasn't been merged yet. You could flash it with the code from the PR or a custom via firmware and use that for now.

And this was round 2, also. 
But, he said after round 1 that there wouldn't be another round.... until there was.
So *maybe* there will be a round 3?  But next time he absolutely positively HAS to make a profit!   ;D

While "supporting" such a talented designer is of coarse a good thing, I'm sure that's one of the last things anyone asking for a round 3 really cares about. We want THIS board dude, not some other one. Especially not some  "ergo" board. I much rather we got a R3 of this, then that thing ever existing.
Hopefully someone that wants to provide the countless people in the community with what they want,  just copies the design one day.

Jacky ran this twice and lost money on it both times. You want one so bad? Go get it aftermarket. Saying someone should knock off his design because he doesn't feel like losing money and you're upset you didn't get it is a pretty bad take. Your claim that you think supporting a good designer is a good thing sounds unbelievably disingenuous.

You are suggesting someone to copy and sell a product because you want to buy that particular product, even ****ting on another of his products while doing it... Heck
Mate it's just a keyboard, move on, you will survive without it and there is a lot of amazing keyboards around. As mentioned before, Jacky said he won't run R3 and hopefully he respect that, especially after what you said.

He said in R1 there will be no R2, he still did R2 to make people happy (we had our second chance), later he said again that there won't be another round, making another round after what he said would probably make mad someone who already bought in previous rounds, it is literally impossible to make everyone happy.  Not making things again, again and again made this hobby large and overflowing of different keebs and products.

Just respect the designer choice to not make the keyboard again and again wtf, if you really want it just buy it aftermarket or DIY something similar for yourself only.

I didn't think i was "sh***" on it, (becasue i wasn't, notice how nothing negative was said or implied about it...) just trying to make the point that  "ergo", is nothing like this. The only thing they share is the same designer. And by "copy" i meant more "use an inspiration". You know. a 65%- 75% with 1 column of macro, and big bezels. Which is all this is... there is nothing especially unique about it.
I didn't mean taking the exact specs and measurements and everything. If someone wanted to "copy" exactly, they would obviously have to ask for permission 1st (if not legally, then morally).
I see absolutely nothing wrong with what i was putting forth: Someone else running a GB for a similar board, inspired by this one. I can't imagine why someone who doesn't want to release another round of something, EVER, would have a problem with someone doing a GB for a similar looking board.  And you have not given logical reason they should. There is a demand for something they don't want to provide. so someone else should.
*"Mate it's just a keyboard, move on, you will survive without it and there is a lot of amazing keyboards around."* Ummm.... Well duh. What a silly thing to say.. I'm well aware of what this is lil buddy, and i don't really care either way. This aint my "end game" as the kids like to say, or anything.  Just stating the fact that telling someone that wants THIS board, to "just support the designer" is silly and pointless.
*"(we had our second chance)" LOL! who is this "we"? You mean: The community at the time of the 1st group buy AND the 2nd group buy, had a "second chance." I think it's rather obvious that the majority of the people clamoring for this didn't even have a "1st chance" let alone a 2nd.
*"making another round after what he said would probably make mad someone who already bought in previous rounds," Sorry, but I simply refuse to believe the majority of people could possibly be that stupid.
*"  Not making things again, again and again made this hobby large and overflowing of different keebs and products."* It's not an "either, or" thing my man. And most keebs suck.
*"Just respect the designer choice to not make the keyboard again and again wtf,"* Simmer down. The designer can do whatever they want, I don't care. If enough people want a board like this, someone will make it.
"If you really want it just buy it aftermarket" I don't, and that option is not going to be around forever.
*" DIY something similar for yourself only. Na, i have plenty of my own keebs, if i was going to do that, i would do one for EVERYONE. Probably somehing a lot like this one, but with even bigger bezels! A wrist rest, and a knob. Different enough for ya? LOL! just kidding, i don't care after all that whining.

*"  Not making things again, again and again made this hobby large and overflowing of different keebs and products."* It's not an "either, or" thing my man. And most keebs suck.
*"Just respect the designer choice to not make the keyboard again and again wtf,"* Simmer down. The designer can do whatever they want, I don't care. If enough people want a board like this, someone will make it.
"If you really want it just buy it aftermarket" I don't, and that option is not going to be around forever.
*" DIY something similar for yourself only. Na, i have plenty of my own keebs, if i was going to do that, i would do one for EVERYONE.

This guy is a real loser.

I didn't think i was "sh***" on it, (becasue i wasn't, notice how nothing negative was said or implied about it...) just trying to make the point that  "ergo", is nothing like this. The only thing they share is the same designer. And by "copy" i meant more "use an inspiration". You know. a 65%- 75% with 1 column of macro, and big bezels. Which is all this is... there is nothing especially unique about it.
I didn't mean taking the exact specs and measurements and everything. If someone wanted to "copy" exactly, they would obviously have to ask for permission 1st (if not legally, then morally).
I see absolutely nothing wrong with what i was putting forth: Someone else running a GB for a similar board, inspired by this one. I can't imagine why someone who doesn't want to release another round of something, EVER, would have a problem with someone doing a GB for a similar looking board.  And you have not given logical reason they should. There is a demand for something they don't want to provide. so someone else should.
*"Mate it's just a keyboard, move on, you will survive without it and there is a lot of amazing keyboards around."* Ummm.... Well duh. What a silly thing to say.. I'm well aware of what this is lil buddy, and i don't really care either way. This aint my "end game" as the kids like to say, or anything.  Just stating the fact that telling someone that wants THIS board, to "just support the designer" is silly and pointless.

#whoosh

Yeah, you still don't get it. This is basically the only thing you said that I think the majority of us are going to agree with. Hahaha.
Why would i care of you don't agree with simple facts? If you want to walk around being wrong, it aint no sweat off my back home slice.

Please no bully.

You literally asked someone to rip off this design. Not exactly in a position of moral high ground here.

That said, let's all just take a step back and let this conversation simmer.

I said someone should make a keyboard like this one. If they have no interest in doing so, how is that stealing? Did the designer of the Modern M0110 commit some immoral act? And they actually copied the design almost exactly something i went on to clarify i was not in support of. What's the difference? Time? Apple being a big bad corporation?
How about instead of the petty name calling that you support, you come up with some reasonable points.
My moral high ground remains. Yours however, does not.
