[IC] Duck TC-V3

[speedyzy]

in for 1

[elton5354]

I will start this GB in about 2 weeks.

The cost will be the same as the Jetfire at $436 USD.

[lzlzh035]

Thank you.

wondering any plan for Duck Raven? http://duck0113.tistory.com/164

Saw vertical 2u macro keys in the pictures, but will horizontal 2u be supported? Similar to the commodore 64 layout

[EZalybored]

I'm in for 1 as well (:

[laminam]

Definitely interested

Yeah that's what I figured

[dantambok]

Any estimate on when this is happening?

same question here

[p_blaze]

noob question, but why did Duck boards stop having colors other than black and silver? I've kind of been waiting for some new colors to pop up before I jump on a Duck GB lately...

easier to get them right first try in anodizing, so minimizes delays

i don't think he'll do other colors again, so it might be in your interest to have a board refinished if you get one

can generally be done in the under $100 range

Dang, that sucks. Would any random factory be able to refinish the board at the same quality, though?

Every time you anodize it, it'll be lower quality. The quality difference depends on how good the refinishers are.

To this day I'm super sad I did not join / missed out on a Duck Orion TKL with blue-gray top and red bottom.  I love those shiny textured "bright dip anodizing" finishes he does and the colors he used to offer.

I reminisce over that blue gray... So good.

RIP any hope of getting it lol. Good for my wallet, I guess, but I did like the layout.

There's a good chance you'd get it if you just pay attention to the posted time that Elton announces. It's really not that hard.

Unless you have some information that I don't or missed, the only "posted time" is "about two week" which is, at best, classified as an estimate and not an exact time. It could happen on the 27th, the 28th, the 29th or even a different time. I go to work and school and check in when I have nothing better to do. If there was an exact time, yeah, it's really not that hard. With an estimate, and for boards that are super popular and limited like Duck's, I could miss it by minutes.

And if you weren't aware by my comment earlier, which imo is pretty clear, this would be my first Duck GB. So if you're getting your info from somewhere other than this thread, you should expect that I don't know about it.

He will announce the time and date when the GB thread will be submitted. Just keep an eye on the interest check and elton's posts. That's all that I meant. Good luck

elton has run many Duck group buys here, and there's a pattern to how he goes about it.  So the replies you've been getting are based on the experience of seeing that pattern develop over time.

Thank you, PhotoE. I made a mistake in phrasing and may have come off as offensive. I apologise tanvir. I do think you have a very good chance at TC-v3. It's not as solicited as some past designs, I would say due to its rather unique layout.

For the Jetfire GB, Elton announced a few days in advance a specific time when the GB opened. People who were interested in getting the board had a few days to prepare their F5 buttons.

Only vertical 2u macro keys are supported on the PCB.  You can put up to 4 vertical 2u key caps on the bottom 8 switch spots.

Looks great. Very excited about this making it's way into my home.
