any assembled pics of the prototype case+plate+weight?
Sadly no, I'm waiting on the acrylic spacer.
Interested! I've been looking for a fancy aluminum TKL kit. Is that the final render for the maple leaf? What's the angle of the case? I should probably go read the interest check. ;)
8 Degrees and yes that's the final version of the maple leaf. That's an actual picture :)

So excited for this 27! Been waiting for this for a while now. Is the anodizing of the plate the same option as the case itself or will it be seperate? Will there be a stainless steel plate option?I'm hoping we can pick different colours for the plates.
Also can the case be assembled with or without the acrylic spacer or is it necessary?
Last I spoke to 27, he thinks we will need the spacer, for clearance between the PCB and the bottom of the case.
I'm hoping we can get the files for the spacer, I might see about getting a very thin one made.

Plate yes, pcb no. PM me if you want to make those changes. I have limited space inside the packaging, and an extra pcb would take up too much space.

I filled out the google form yesterday - should I have gotten an email already, or did you just mean people that put a deposit down?

In total we have 65 responses right now, with 9 preorders who have not yet filled out the form on top of that. I'm going to try and start invoicing during the week, so keep an eye on your emails.

Would it be possible to have a spreadsheet list of all the current people who have submitted, received invoice, paid invoice and etc? I think this way everyone can keep track much easier.
I'll throw something together in the OP that I manually update.

When ordered , the plans were a little different, and I was in a hurry .
Post by: Chachal on Mon, 19 September 2016, 00:49:02
Will we have a chance to change our color choice once we get to see a sample of all colors?
Sorry wodan, there's only the pictures of the gold, black, and silver due to pink and cyan being custom colours.
If you pm me before the 25th you can make any changes you want.

Could I ask what is the silvery/translucent mid layer thing?
I was hoping to see if it can be assembled together without a seam like that.
Edit:
Is it possible to use the keyboard without the acrylic spacer in the middle, and are shorter screws included with the kit to support that?

how is it mounted on the top that requires it to need the spacer?

Total shot in the dark but it looks like the bottom part of the case is too shallow to support the switches + PCB.

Just curious as to how many boards we are at now :)About 75
Since this isn't paypal is there any recourse if **** hits the fan at some point?Since it looks like we're switching to paypal you won't need to worry, but stripe provides a system similar to paypals buyer protection, as well as your bank/cc provider.

Any chance of running either a separate, or potentially tandem GB for a Numpad to match the Mech27 in the future? I need the num pad for the work I do and will have a smartpad hopefully by the time I have this but would love to be able to get one that matches not only in design but primarily color the Mech27 I'll have.
I'm sure he has more projects planned, but let's get through one group buy at a time. :p

I sourced my coloring based on these photos, 1 of a cyan anodized plate on MD, 1 of a prototype from 27.

I don't want to pay into a paypal account which I know is frozen, because I know how paypal operate, as they've held my money for 180 days in the past which is why I no longer have a paypal - because I find them insufferable and the way they sometime operate their business is almost criminal.
So choice is to pay into a known frozen paypal, or lose spot on the GB?

Contact PayPal before hand and inform them this is what you are doing. They freeze the accounts with any unusual activity and a couple grand in a day I think would classify as just that! Better to give them warning as it might help avoid another freeze.

Sorry for the confusion, grey was dropped near the end of the IC since I had to limit it to 2 custom colours, and I didn't like their stock grey.

I think it must be a little bit more considering xondat's X60 is a little over 5lbs and that is a 60%. I'm going to be impatiently waiting for both of these boards; it's going to be horrible. :p

As well, there are 7 dropped orders in the order detail sheet in the OP. If anyone would like to pick one of these up please pm me. I will be selling these as extras if they are not picked up.
And finally, my foam manufacturer dropped me, so uh... if anyone has resources for packaging foam please let me know. I've emailed a few local manufacturers but have had no luck so far. I might end up buying sheets of packaging foam and cutting it by hand.

Nothing to report. I've paid for the spacers, the deposit for the PCBs, and the deposit for the rest of the board. Going to place the order for the stabs soon.

I've switched what PCB I'm using. I'm now using a TGR pcb in black with white silk screening. There will be a Mech27 logo on the PCB.
It uses the Winkeyless.kr keymapping program with no issues, so there should be plenty of guides and knowledgeable people to get it programmed.

Same one used in the TGR Jane only with different silk screening, so I would imagine top of the line. Correct me if I'm wrong 27.

What is the status of the stabs? There are very good pcb mount stabs and very crap ones as well and I would be a little disappointed to receive my new board only to have to buy a set of nice stabs. If they do end up being meh, it would be nice to know before hand and having time to source them ourselves.

I am pumped about the Bootmapper client use. I am kinda tired of the four different ways I have to remap all of my custom boards. A familiar and user friendly GUI is a welcome surprise.
Amen man, just went through a new chamber of hell trying to program a RedScarf ... taught me an important lesson: Korean Kustom > Chinese Custom

Will they be rubberized feet or foam?
I prefer foam feet like the ones that have been used in Duck's kits in the past. What shape and size are the indents for the pads? In case people want to source their own alternatives.
Post by: 27 on Wed, 19 October 2016, 10:12:55
Another minor question that I would love to know the answer to at least a little bit in advance to receiving the board. What kind of soft feet will be (I am assuming they are, although I guess I have no clue if that has been mentioned before) included with the kit?

They'll be clear 1/2" diameter round bumpons. Similar to these: https://www.amazon.com/Self-Stick-Noise-Dampening-Bumpers-12-pieces/dp/B001WAK6DS?ie=UTF8&path=%2FSelf-Stick-Noise-Dampening-Bumpers-12-pieces%2Fdp%2FB001WAK6DS%2Fref%3Dpd_bxgy_60_3&ref_=pd_bxgy_60_3&useRedirectOnSuccess=1&th=1

So... I know you said no color changes but since anodizing isn't started yet, is it possible? Just want to switch bottom color from pink to silver.

Well it's enough stabs for 2.5 keyboards, there were cheaper options but I always over order in-case I build a new keyboard and the GB isn't there anymore.
Also they're transparent, which isn't a huge deal but it allows the RGB lights to actually reflect and shine up through the stabs, also they're screw in stabs which are preferable to me and many others but very hard to find.

Ugh really praying I can somehow get an extra kit if there happens to be extra or someone doesn't want theirs anymore. Hoping for a black top, cyan bottom, and cyan plate :P Don't know why I didn't sign up when I had the chance! :(
check the initial post. there are 4 kits still dropped, i think.
shoot the mod a pm.

Nice. If OP reads this, I'm interested in picking up a dropped order. Would it be cool to customise the parts from multiple dropped orders?
If possible, I hope I can pick up the black top + bottom from Sonic2911's dropped order, but the gold plate from -thl-

The factory checked in with me about the first bit of boards that have been anodized and there were some finish issues so they're going through again. I think that everyone would prefer a little higher quality with a slightly longer wait.

These are beautiful. Is it possible to get one now/do you plan on running this again but without the Canadian leaf on the insert? Case looks absolutely amazing and I would definitely jump on one if it was just plain or a different logo of something I enjoy (i do enjoy Canadians, just not Canadian myself!)
I'm not Canadian either but I love me some maple syrup!

I recall there being a shipping estimate of late December - early January when the GB had just opened, which I understand has shifted, but I was wondering if you had any updated estimates on when we can expect the boards?
Other than photos and news you haven't really mentioned anything about the timeline and when you would be receiving everything and sending the kits out.
I thought it would be good to ping you just to see what the status of the GB is.
Thanks!

They do not support switch top removal. I kept it as-is to simplify the modification of the plate for different layouts during the design process and to get it moving into manufacturing sooner. Manually replacing each switch hole takes time.

Going for a black and "gold" aesthetic so the underlighting is a pass for me.
Planned on doing anodized aluminum but, after talking to 27, might end up going with brass to match the weight.

From the sounds of it, the threading of the screw holes is too big for the existing screws.
Is is possible to find suitable screws for a larger threading that will still fit the holes you sink the screws into?
meeeh :(
That's what I'm wondering too. Seems to perhaps not be a total disaster if M3 screws will work instead of the 2.5s. That shouldn't effect too much else within the board design/ performance/ aesthetics.... right??

Everything about M-screws is defined by a standard, including the diameter of the screw head:
http://www.engineersedge.com/iso_socket_head_screw.htm (http://www.engineersedge.com/iso_socket_head_screw.htm)
The head of a M3 screw has a 5.5mm diameter while a M2.5 screw has a 4.5mm diameter. That's why I got very worried about this diameter of the holes the screw heads sink into (case bottom)
First we gotta find out WHAT threading they put into the holes though ... might not even be metric ...

Ya thinking of the same thing. If m3 works maybe some Dremmel/sandpaper can help modding the screws to fit the inserts.

The bevels in the top case may also be too small for the screw head to fit in which might leave the screw head sticking up also.

Ok, thank you realists, you've sufficiently harshed my mellow. :confused: I'm a pathological optimist, was hoping the ripple may not be that bad.
I didn't think about the diameters of hole within the the case recesses in the bottom case and the screw head. Obviously that could all be very tricky and necessitate factory involvement. Tally810- I'm not sure I understand your comment on the bevels in the top case being a concern as well... aren't there just the threaded holes for the screws to grab on the top case?
Here's to hoping that 27 has some luck with the M3s fitting naturally or being Dremmel-able so the boards as-is will work. Re-machining holes in the case and/or spacers would seem to send this a bit sideways for a while... Fingers crossed, 27! Please keep us posted.

Hey bro, Heli-coil might be able to fix your issue incase the m3 screw head is too big.
This was the first thing I thought of as well. Having used helicoils often enough I know they can be a real PITA. If this was a manufacturers error I'd want them to fix it rather than fight with that many helicoil installations,

Would it be perhaps possible to order custom screws? m3 diameter/threading with smaller heads? (not part of this GB, just thinking "out loud").Possible? Yes. Expensive? Also yes. It's a small quantity and wouldn't be worth it.

I would not recommend set screws for this particular application. Set screws will not work in this case, you do need a screw head to fasten the plate into the case (that's the issue I gather based on the video, correct me if I'm wrong and this is not the actual problem we have here)

No need to worry everyone, standard M3 screws work perfectly. :thumb:
I'm going to figure out the refunding with the factory in the next few days as they return form CNY.
Booooooring :(
Just joking of course, did they just upgrade the whole design to M3 then?
Are you going to finish that assembly video? :)
Really great news!

Just curious, wouldn't local hardware store be faster than a week or 2? Unless we are getting some fancier screws in that case ok 👌I'm guessing we are going to have to wait for a new batch of screws. What kind of time frame will that be a week or two?
Yeah it should be a week or two :)

I am thinking that it would be a lot more expensive then instead of ordering it online but that is just a guess but maybe also because he needs a large quantity of them. I don't think a local hardware would have enough M3 screws for every board in this GB so he could maybe do that if the price isn't crazy high for a first batch of shipments and then get the others out with ordered screws but I ain't sure how that would be in reality

Ya, a joke. I figured the other person was asking for a link to the "LZ GB" group buy, since LZ GB follows the same naming as his other boards ("LZ CLS"). So, I made a joke. Sorry to crush your solid gold plate dreams. :p

Was going to ask where the numbers from pre-orders would be on the keyboard, or was it scrapped? No clue but either way the keyboard looks pretty amazing.
Yeah this time around there can't be any numbers on the cases. In future rounds I'm going to try to have them printed or engraved on the plate.

You're asking a lot from 27 here.
Sending to another address than the paypal address will enable the original buyer aka paypal payer to file a dispute. No proof of shipping to the paypal address = refund.

https://imgur.com/a/jSn41 just busted the 27 out of the box and took some potatoes with my phone. I'll be able to take better pics later but can't tonight. Looks like my plate got little Bend and scratch on the flap but I'll straighten it out since it won't be visible. Also the bottom case has a real tiny dent/scratch that is super small. Looks like USPS played a little volleyball with my package but honestly you have to look pretty hard to see it so no real gripe from me. Other than that the cyan color looks so amazing irl and the board feels super nice so I'm really excited to get this thing built. Will take better pics and go over it better later right now I got a wild kid running around the house.I also got mine today after usps being pretty careless but I will take pictures laterJust got my keyboard in the mail 5 mins ago. and I live in California.

Are you going to the Austin meetup? I'm gonna take the trip. Yea dude not only that but I got a notification on Saturday saying delivered in mailbox. Went to mailbox and nothing. I panicked and couldn't do anything until Monday. Went to the post office today and they confirmed they misdelivered the package and told me to file a report. I said **** that he delivered this in a random mailbox when he should have checked identification and received a signature. Post master came in and told me to sit tight and he looked at where the package was scanned on GPS (I guess they can do this). An hour later he's walking up to me with my package in his hands. Needless to say it was a journey receiving this thing.https://imgur.com/a/jSn41 just busted the 27 out of the box and took some potatoes with my phone.

Could you please post a pic of the packaging. Was the package insured? You should be able to file a claim.
Also I would like to be able to opt for better packaging if hes shipping them in a plastic bag? wtf this should never happen with such an expensive keyboard. These packages need to be insured for the full amount!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Post by: Tally810 on Tue, 28 February 2017, 09:31:53
I believe it was insured but honestly the little ding on the bottom case is really minimal and looks way worse under a camera lens. Looking at it with the naked eye it's actually really hard to see.

Im not OK with little dings anywhere, this is a $300+ rare never to be made again keybaord. Your board is now worth 2/3 of the value it should.

Alright you need to relax. The boards are being packaged properly, and obviously I'm beefing up the packaging more after seeing this happen. This is a low run board, I never said it's not being made again, and the files are open source. Chilllllllll. It's in a box, with bubble wrap between all major parts and the outer walls.
This is my first run of a board, and I'm learning. Things happen, and I'm dealing with them as best as I can.

Sorry but the trust level is low with you man. Frozen paypal accounts, poor communication, not posting "because of things", sitting on the boards for a month, "getting sick", still sitting on the boards longer, not updating the spreadsheet and now the boards are showing up damaged. Maybe before telling me to "relax" you should look at getting your **** together.

Woah, I think we need to calm down just a little bit. I think you are confusing trust with your expectations of a group buy, obviously the board will get to you. Tally said the dings were minor and 27 said he would take extra precautions now. I don't know what more you want, honestly.

I dont want anything accept for basic accountability and responsibility when running a group buy, im not saying 27 hasn't scraped by in these categories by the skin of his teeth, he has. Sounds mean but the rules for GB's like this on GH are so slack that anything can happen. Bringing up issues here in the thread is the only way to communicate and have a record of issues with a GB runner like this, if ****s sketchy people need to know so they know what to expect from this GB runner.

Calm it man, **** happens. It has been like 2 months delay which isn't a lot of delay if you ask me. It happens in GB's, set backs are something that is a part of it.
Sure it is a shame it wasn't without any hickups and problems but he is only human and is working real hard on it. I would really just take a deep breath before you start spewing this negative BS which doesn't help anything. So please just go calmly and get your **** together

Just to be clear i have no problem with the delays, ive been in GB's that have had 9 months+ added to the wait times and kept my mouth shut, delays are inevitable in any GB. I just want to make sure the boards are shipped correctly. And 27 has made it clear he will improve the packaging.
Your interpretation of "negative BS" is poor, im only stating the facts and the facts arent always pretty, and often come off as mean. I apologize for coming off as such, telling me to "relax" and "chilllllll" whal still maintaining a lackluster/condescending attitude is what set me off mostly because Ive been blown off, ripped off, ignored and stolen from in other GB's here on GH and I dont intend to be pushed around anymore. I apologize for the tone.

If you don't want to be "pushed around" anymore just don't participate. Sounds like I'm being a **** but really if it brings you this level of stress it's not worth it.

Calm it man, **** happens. It has been like 2 months delay which isn't a lot of delay if you ask me. It happens in GB's, set backs are something that is a part of it.
Sure it is a shame it wasn't without any hickups and problems but he is only human and is working real hard on it. I would really just take a deep breath before you start spewing this negative BS which doesn't help anything. So please just go calmly and get your **** together
Just to be clear i have no problem with the delays, ive been in GB's that have had 9 months+ added to the wait times and kept my mouth shut, delays are inevitable in any GB. I just want to make sure the boards are shipped correctly. And 27 has made it clear he will improve the packaging.
Your interpretation of "negative BS" is poor, im only stating the facts and the facts arent always pretty, and often come off as mean. I apologize for coming off as such, telling me to "relax" and "chilllllll" whal still maintaining a lackluster/condescending attitude is what set me off mostly because Ive been blown off, ripped off, ignored and stolen from in other GB's here on GH and I dont intend to be pushed around anymore. I apologize for the tone.
If you don't want to be "pushed around" anymore just don't participate. Sounds like I'm being a **** but really if it brings you this level of stress it's not worth it.
Your so damn right about this

Honestly I'm offended that you think I faked having strep throat just to avoid shipping the boards. Do you think I actually want all these boards sitting and taking up half a room in my house for another month? The answer is no.

become santa and ship/deliver it all overnight or else...
Alternative GB! My GBs are the best, highly qualified, no other GBs like em. I also have one of the best immune systems. Many people tell me I do. Lyin' 27 can't even avoid strep! Sad!

Its weird how that works, seems like a good amount of GB runners somehow mysteriously get sick right when they have to ship. They get sick or suddenly they are in the hospital, or "busy" or their friends second cousins dog is in the vet. This has happened so many times..... These keyboards must be dangerous! :confused: :confused:

1. Update the spreadsheet
2. Actual timeline as to when you will get around to finally shipping the boards.

If ive managed to offend you that bad, I would take a refund.

I take it you've never had that much responsibility on top of your other responsibilities that even simple activities can be a set back? You seem to think that running a group buy is as easy as being an armchair critic, but in fact it's a LOT more work, and because most people also have their RL stuff to deal with on top of the GB, there can indeed be delays, as you notice. Because you're dealing with private individuals, not companies with multiple employees on a payroll to JUST work on your purchases. If you want zero issues guaranteed, buy only premade and with warranty from companies such as Amazon. If you want to know why you're receiving such a strong reaction from other people in this thread, it's probably because your tone went a few notches above reasonable and straight into a complete accusatory barrage.

"Armchair critic" that is hilarious. I have run a few small GB along with 3 massive artisan sales with well over 100 packages, pre orders and exchanges and it all well within the allotted time frames, even when i was sick. Thats one of the reasons that im up in arms about this is because I believe GB's like this should be a transparent and frequently updated process. Begging for info and wondering what is going on sucks.

I personally think that there have been more than enough delays and now that the boards are in your possession, and have been for over a week, there is no reason to not have at the very least shipping labels printed and tracking numbers out to everyone. On top of that, if I receive a board with any visible physical defects or damage, I would either want a refund (which I know isn't going to happen) or try to sell the board and recoup as much of the cost as possible. The problem is that a dented board is immediately worth a lot less, at least to me it is.
I don't want to encourage people to rage at 27, but I do want people to provide their POV and opinions on the status of this buy.
Also a fun fact, at this rate the Duck Viper GB which closed about 3 months after the Mech27 GB is looking like it will ship before the Mech27. Comparing you to an established maker like Duck and a GB runner like Elton is somewhat unfair but it is amusing to me how long the timeline for this buy has been in comparison.
@27, I do hope that you don't take anything I, or anyone else who joined this GB, have said personally. I just want to provide some critical feeback to keep in mind for future GBs. I know this is your first rodeo with your own custom design so for that I am willing to give you a bit more slack, but know that communication and shipping could have been handled a lot better. I may be a bit biased because I don't really get sick nor do I consider being sick a reason to not make labels or ship boxes. Anyway, I hope you are feeling better and I hope to see the rest of the boards on their way soon. Thank you for running this GB!

While I think that the *****ing is silly and far too aggressive considering the circumstances, I do think that it is perfectly fine for people to voice their opinions.

Thanks for the constructive feedback. I know I've had the boards for a while now, but there have been a few setbacks along the way. I'm sorting and packing throughout most of today and tomorrow so everything should be moving a bit more quickly than it has been.

Begging for info? I get being peeved about delays, but I feel 27 has been pretty clear about when and why there are delays.
- PayPal freeze? Rookie mistake, communicated to buyers and quickly rectified.
- Inadequate anodizing? Factory issue, communicated to buyers and also rectified
- Incorrect screw-holes tapped? Major factory issue, buyers notified and replacement screws ordered.
- Being sick? Immune system issue, buyers notified and I'm sure he's working on getting better.
I don't see a communication issue man.

This is somewhat true, there is a lot more logistics involved coordinating the parts and all the address changes etc. Although saying that an artisan sale is easier is off base IMO....lots of money into equipment, resin, prototyping, making the caps, dealing with success rate, finishing, running raffle, making invoices, etc etc etc
Im not an armchair critic, i have been in large sale situations. Not in a 70 order keyboard GB but in other situations that require the same amount of work.
Anyway, ive **** the bed and now i have to sleep in it.

I have zero worries that 27 will deliver everyone kick-ass keyboards as soon as he possibly can. Evaluating a GB (or a contractor for a new kitchen), you do your best to weigh risks and skills of the runner on fulfillment. Jumping into a Duck GB via Elton or TX via Yuktsi is far more reassuring than backing a 19 or 20 year old doing his first project. But that's also the fun of it- I for one am happy to take on some extra risk, soften my timeline expectations a bit and root for the new guy to do well. Like anything, the next time 27 does this, he will be far better off for the bumps he hit here. But that's also a choice everyone has to be comfortable with. For a more tidy timeline, choose to stick with the big fellas or just buy from those with stock in hand on mechmarket. To each their own, no worries...
But also, life happens. 27 has been pretty up front with that- there was a move to school, then back home and the mentioned issues with the board ano, holes, etc... We've all been through uneven times like those. He's done right by me keeping this GB moving forward through it. Not perfect, of course, but what the hey, eh? And the finish line is in sight- let's cheer him this last bit. Kudos, you crazy Canuck. :thumb:

1. The packaging was perfectly fine. Yeah, it wasn't custom molded or anything, but there was a ton of bubble wrap and it was very well protected.
2. The anodizing has zero issues and is better than several customs I have owned
3. The fit and finish of the case, plate, PCB and weight is perfect
I added some pictures. I am absolutely not a fan of backlighting or under-lighting of any kind so I apologize that none of them show that.
I am having a brass and a zebra wood 3mm spacer cut right now and should have it by the middle of next week so I will definitely post pics of that. I have to say, I was impressed that 27 posted the files. I haven't really ever seen that done, but it helped me out a ton.
The only issue that I had was the PCB had a few LEDs that were soldered a bit haphazardly, this was easily fixed and I do not believe it was a packaging issue what-so-ever, simply just bad luck.
Anyway, enjoy the awful quality pics. I figured that posting what I had now may ease some of the tension. Also ignore the HC granite in the background since I think I am the only person that loves that set.

This is my first post here as I am much more active on reddit (/u/jimmythehand). With that being said, I received my board over the weekend and finally built it the other day. I can address a few things that were brought up (keep in my this is just my experience).Glad urs got there safe but when the postman handed me my box I could hear metal clanging around in mine which was kind of gut wrenching. 27 said he's gonna beef up the packaging which would be great so there are no more hiccups. This story does have a happy ending I believe.

hey, not sure if you're located in the U.S. but if you are mind letting me know where you source the custom spacers from when you get it done? I'm in a different GB that is using a diffuser sheet inbetween the top and bottom of the case (looks like a spacer like this has) and would love to just have a stainless steel/anodized sheet used instead once the files for it are released.

Home remodeling. Kickstarter. Geekhack GBs.

I understand that he's ran lots of Duck buys, but I don't remember him personally handling logistics on shipping. Duck boards ship from Korea and not from Canada afaik.

Fair enough... not sure how old Elton is - and good point, he does get lucky by not handling the packing/ shipping. But I agree and really, after you've done one GB, I imagine you learn many of the hard knocks... Didn't mean to make it purely age-based at all, I agree, it's case-by-case.
That said, I admire 27 for making such a huge swing with his first major GB. Designing, managing production and then packing/ fulfilling what 70-80 boards for a maiden voyage GB- really impressive. And with all the other 'life' wrinkles that come along, I'm not irritated in the slightest with 27 or the progress here. I'm totally rooting for him this buy (and I am in for a cyan over black board I can't wait to see) and his next.

Anyway, 27 just a heads up - I purchased someone's spot, you were on our email chain and changed the shipping address. Anyway do you need to update the order sheet (line 10: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/16pCimNWCZ9mBbTzQ8V03GAL-xW2c0lL-Iyy5ZrznauU/edit). It still says the original owner, not sure if that matters.

Man, I should have brought my popcorn, that was a fun read.
Anyway, 27 just a heads up - I purchased someone's spot, you were on our email chain and changed the shipping address. Anyway do you need to update the order sheet (line 10: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/16pCimNWCZ9mBbTzQ8V03GAL-xW2c0lL-Iyy5ZrznauU/edit). It still says the original owner, not sure if that matters.
Just forgot to change the name, address is still changed to the proper one on my private sheet :)

Those who go their boards how many of each screw did you guys get? I got 12 longer ones and 8 shorter ones. I count 22 screws being needed27 please help make sure everyone gets enough screws (the keyboard GB's i particpated provide 1 extra screw / bumpons of each type and i think that's fair rule of thumb to go by) please consider this. Thanks.

Are you guys getting DHL text notifications or generic email notifications? Just asking since i bought a spot from someone and never provided an email if I'll be getting a notification. Would be nice to get home and unknowingly have my new board.
It's through Paypal and then Canada Post. Standard label has been created/ tracking number notification. Don't think this round is moving just yet (no actual movement logged), but they are getting ready to migrate away from cozy Canada. :thumb:

What are your thoughts on the board so far, tank-esque?
Post by: Tally810 on Sun, 05 March 2017, 15:51:22
Yea so far so good the board is very premium. It's maybe a little less beefy than my tx-75 sitting behind it but that's probably due to the smaller weight. And yes it's "skelecyan"Mech 27 https://imgur.com/a/047Ju looks nice

My brass weight wasn't secured in and end up bouncing around the package. On first check, it only appears to have scratched & dented the bottom plate. No obvious damage to the top plate or switch plate (on 2nd inspection, looks like there's some light damage to the switch plate). I'll need to have a better look tomorrow to check that the PCB wasn't damaged.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/GsZWiKS.jpg)Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/p71isXx.jpg)Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/rHIm0jl.jpg)

May I recommend "Mozy" as a tool to REALLY keep you files backed up even in case of an encryption trojan or house burning down?
Costs a little but as soon as you start having "valuable" files on your computer, this quickly pays off.

Unfortunately there is a small ding on one of the corners of the bottom case, but nothing nearly as bad as some of the other photos. I can live with it, but I'll notice it forever. The only way to truly avoid stuff like this is to use hard foam corners, since cardboard and bubblewrap just compresses if there is any kind of impact. Also the fact that the hardware used to mount the weight does not match the weight kinda annoys me. And the fact that they aren't counter-sunk screws and holes is kinda meh imo. Just some feedback for future designs/Gbs.
Note for future buys that I (and most people I would assume) do not mind paying more for better packing materials and hardware.
At the end of the day I am happy with my purchase and I look forward to building it!

I just received my kit just now. Really bad gashes in the lower right corner of the bottom case piece. The shipping box was intact and the pieces inside weren't rubbing against each other, but the bottom case piece was loose inside bubble wrap inside the box. I'm not sure if these happened before shipping, or maybe there was a big bump during shipping.

Hm, I have a similar ding but just on the corner. Since my case is silver though it's not nearly as noticeable. @27 are you offering partial refunds or replacements (either w/ R2 or not)? I think you should make a public statement if this is the case.

Yea luckily my plate and corner aren't visible when assembled. My top case has some scratches but hard to see on the silver. I think foam is the way to go.

err I don't think there ever was a R2 for Blackbird, I think you must be referring to "batch 2" Duck likes to send in batches, from what I understand it's 30 or 50 per batch and so on. Rounds are a basically separate GB's from any previous Rounds. Each Round may (or may not) have batches, to my understanding that's how it works. You were probably in Batch 2.

Here is an album of the visual blemishes and damage my board has suffered: http://imgur.com/a/LSPei
I did not get a chance to closely inspect the top case until I got home, and under light, those scratches are pretty bad. My guess is that the loose hardware and stabilizers bag may have scuffed it? I'm not really sure. They peeve me the most, as they are incredibly visible and right at the top of the board. The dent in the bottom left, inside corner is fairly small compared to some of the other photos I've seen on here but is a dent none the less. The scratching/scuffing on the bottom left corner is quite visible as it is dark black compared to the silver ano on the case. There is also some minor scratching on the edges of the plate, but none of them are visible once in the case, I do not consider them an issue.
I too am missing two screws to mount the plate to the top case. I imagine there may have been a miscalculation due to the weights using the same screws and four of them at that. I would very much like the rest of the hardware.
Overall I like the way the board feels to type on and I like the overall look of the board, but I am extremely unhappy with the visible damage. However now I am stuck with it, as it is nearly impossible to trade, and I do not plan on using it on my desk.
I have said time and time again, I do not care about the cost of the board. If I was worried about the money I wouldn't be into high end keyboards. What I care about is that they are irreplaceable, unique, and beautiful.

The first picture was taken immediately after cutting the tape. The weight was still in place. All of the other pieces were wrapped, but the plate did not have bubble wrap covering the two short ends.
Looks like I got all 12 screws and 5 stabilizer sets, but the bumpons are too large in diameter for the indentation made on the bottom of the case.
PCB looks okay and lights up when plugged in. It was wrapped in the same bubble wrapping as the rest of the pieces, so as a suggestion for the future, I would either put it in an anti-static bag first (they are usually pink or blue), or you can buy anti-static bubble wrap.

Anyone here want to take over my order for a Black/Black/Black? Bought a TX-87 and have a LZ-FE on the way, and I feel that I have moved away from boards with acrylic spacers since i paid for this board.
no one is forcing you to use the spacer. :)

Speaking of packing, I have spoken with a few community members and have ordered thick PE foam to reinforce the packages, as well I will be screwing everything together before packing so there will be much less chance of pieces bumping or rubbing against each other.
If anyone has any concerns to voice please contact me through pms.

Hi everyone, I'm currently working with those who have received their boards damaged to find a resolution. Unfortunately there is a few visible manufacturer defects in the finish that got through QC and were missed by myself while packing. As such, I'm going to be much more stringent about the QC of my boards while packing.Thanks for the update 27! Hope all boards sent out from now on arrive safely.

what firmware do i need to upload then? the only thing im able to sort out is the ps2avrGB
Edit: found a picture of the pcb, its ps2avrGB that supposed to be used.
Same problem remains, when i upload it, no errors or anything, when i upload the keymap... nothing changes, when i plug out the cable and back in again leds stop working(im in boot mode again)
Tried restariting the bootmapperclient and download the current layout. This works as intended, proves that the firmware is there and the layout as well.

Crappola. Wonder if a standard ps2avRGB sort of a PCB might work?? I have an extra one of those (TKL) I'm hanging on to for emergency use, but would let it go so you can hopefully resurrect this. I'll look at it tonight against the Mech-27 board and see if there's a shot it might be a suitable replacement. :thumb: Might get burned by USB placement or something, but it's worth a look.

Please be patient while I get these ready to go out.
I've worked out a new packing method which is much better than previously.
First I screw together the case, weight, and plate, then wrap that in brown wrapping paper, then that in a layer of bubble wrap. That is then placed in the box with 1" foam on the top and bottom, and 3/4" foam for the side walls. The PCB will be sandwiched between two pieces of foam. I'll post pictures of the process once I receive the foam (which should be tomorrow or monday).
Post by: 27 on Thu, 16 March 2017, 15:53:32
Addressing issues with the PCB, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE check the board before doing any soldering as I will not provide replacements for any that do not work after assembly from this point on. I will personally be checking the PCBs prior to shipping to avoid issues.

I wasn't asking for a replacement for free and I said it was probably my fault plugging in the usb and not stopping. I soldered the diodes that were knocked off in shipping. My board has scratches and dings and bad anode spots but all I'm asking is to BUY a new pcb. I don't feel like I'm asking for a lot here seeing that I accepted the board and didn't make a fuss about it since others had it worse than me and I feel they deserve something first. Quadcube did message me and he seemed like he might be able to help me out which is greatly appreciated.

Just wanted to reach out and say I'm excited to eventually get mine and thank you so much for doing the extra packaging. I know it's tough running these and we're right towards the end, however, you've been transparent and worked with everyone I've seen so far. Valiant effort on your part my dude.

If you recall feb 28, i made a stink about poor packaging (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=84703.msg2373068#msg2373068) and was thoroughly guaranteed that my kit would arrive undamaged. Boards had already shown up damaged and i was worried, I was also called "armchair critic" and many people took offence to me speaking out. Shortly after that, on the same night 27 went directly on the keychatter slack and started talking **** whal i was in the same chatroom as him about me, talking about not wanting to ship me the keyboard. This obviously tilted me to the point where i was trying to get a refund/sell my spot so i didnt have to deal with the immaturity associated with devin. The next day i talked to Devin on slack and we both apologized and I told him i would take the kit if it was shipped correctly (http://i.imgur.com/aGGG7Op.png) one week later this arrives:
http://imgur.com/a/Q43fN
TONS of manufacturing defects, poor handling and GUESS WHAT? a giant ding from poor packaging. The ding is so big that i can literally not assemble the keyboard, it is now completely worthless resale wise and i cant even assemble it! At this point i have shared the above album with devin and gave him 48 hours to respond. Nothing, no response, so I was forced to file a claim with paypal that was then escalated for immediate action by PP. What do I get in return? An offer for partial refund of $85 (http://i.imgur.com/vf0UMH3.png). This is a slap in the face, an $85 refund on a $340 keyboard that is now useless. So I decline his offer and ask for a full refund, with PP backing me. My full refund is granted as long as I ship the kit back to him in canada.
$53 is what it cost to send it back to him.
I am now out of $53 and 6 months wait time (assuming i get my refund when the package arrives). All of this seems like some type of cruel joke and Im feeling pretty defeated about the entire situation.
For the rest of you waiting on your boards, use extreme caution when accepting the package, I would recommend opening and inspecting before you sign for it.

Boards had already shown up damaged and i was worried, I was also called "armchair critic" and many people took offence to me speaking out. Shortly after that, on the same night 27 went directly on the keychatter slack and started talking **** whal i was in the same chatroom as him about me, talking about not wanting to ship me the keyboard. This obviously tilted me to the point where i was trying to get a refund/sell my spot so i didnt have to deal with the immaturity associated with devin. The next day i talked to Devin on slack and we both apologized and I told him i would take the kit if it was shipped correctly (http://i.imgur.com/aGGG7Op.png) one week later this arrives:
http://imgur.com/a/Q43fN
TONS of manufacturing defects, poor handling and GUESS WHAT? a giant ding from poor packaging. The ding is so big that i can literally not assemble the keyboard, it is now completely worthless resale wise and i cant even assemble it! At this point i have shared the above album with devin and gave him 48 hours to respond. Nothing, no response, so I was forced to file a claim with paypal that was then escalated for immediate action by PP. What do I get in return? An offer for partial refund of $85 (http://i.imgur.com/vf0UMH3.png). This is a slap in the face, an $85 refund on a $340 keyboard that is now useless. So I decline his offer and ask for a full refund, with PP backing me. My full refund is granted as long as I ship the kit back to him in canada.
$53 is what it cost to send it back to him.
I am now out of $53 and 6 months wait time (assuming i get my refund when the package arrives). All of this seems like some type of cruel joke and Im feeling pretty defeated about the entire situation.
For the rest of you waiting on your boards, use extreme caution when accepting the package, I would recommend opening and inspecting before you sign for it.
Holy ****, that's awful man. Sorry to hear you had to deal with that, sounds like some piss-poor packaging and customer service.

All interpersonal disagreements aside, I think that the key to all of this is that this board is not competitively priced enough to not be compared to other custom makers like Duck, LifeZone, OTD, KMAC, etc. and other enthusiasts even have complaints with Duck boards (anodizing, machining, etc.)
I feel like this is the point of no return for me on this buy. After seeing the first few boards arrive damaged, mine arrive damaged and with multiple 'manufacturing defects', all shipping halted in order to sort out issues, and finally more boards arriving damaged and in worse condition than mine I am ready to call it a failed buy. In my opinion, experiencing issues is acceptable, failing to find a reasonable solution (even at the expenditure of time and money) is unacceptable. I have participated in buys that require additional funding to stay afloat, I have participated in buys that have been delayed for very long periods of time, but I have never participated in a buy with this level of unprofessional-ism and poor QC.
In regards to any future GBs and custom kits designed and distributed by 27, I would highly recommend rethinking the purchase and sticking to trusted makers within the community. Normally I am all for supporting new makers, which is why I backed this project. Do not take the issues listed in this thread lightly, unless you are ok with receiving a similarly piss-poor product.

That's pretty terrible and inexcusable, I'm sorry you got your kit in this condition. I hope you get a full refund.
But to be fair, I wouldn't lump previous criticism directed at you into justifying the end result. The armchair critic and the rest of the backlash you received was very specifically targeted at this comment you made about people running group buys (and your comments following that one):
"Its weird how that works, seems like a good amount of GB runners somehow mysteriously get sick right when they have to ship. They get sick or suddenly they are in the hospital, or "busy" or their friends second cousins dog is in the vet. This has happened so many times..... These keyboards must be dangerous! :confused: :confused:"

We are going to lose the option to dispute in Paypal in the next few days correct? Given that it would be nice to get some sort of timeline from 27 on when the orders will resume shipping.
We are. I agree some kind of rough timeframe would be nice. Do you plan on wrapping shipping up in a week, a month or more? It doesn't matter much what it is, just trying to calibrate expectations.

Not involved in this buy, but one option is to file a dispute through PayPal on day 179. This allows the seller 20 days to "settle" the dispute without direct PayPal intervention, and it effectively works to extend the protection period for that 20 days. That would give 27 roughly three weeks to finish things up before protection expires.
If there is no seller response after 7 days, PayPal will automatically award a refund to the buyer if they file a claim. So 27 would need to respond to each dispute with a simple message stating things will wrap up soon or whatever. If neither party "escalates" the dispute to a "claim" by the 20 day period then PayPal drops it entirely and nothing happens. If either party decides to escalate to a claim, then PayPal gets involved to investigate the claim and comes to a decision.
You can read about it here: https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/security/resolve-disputes
The other option is for 27 to re-invoice people who have yet to receive their boards, though that requires issuing refunds as well.
Again, I've got no skin in this and I'm also not trying to start anything. Just pointing out an option I'm aware of that, to me, seems beneficial to both buyer and seller in this situation.

Definitely take into consideration that if you receive a board that is damaged and/or has defects you may be worse off. I have my board and I am not happy. Losing the ability to file a dispute is the end of the line.

im ok with a little and smooth scratch inside of case, but if outside of the case i dont want any visible scratch(and my case was black so it would noticeable if there was a major scratch).
but what worry me out is a big dent like in redbanshe photo. i must say no to that.

Hoping the board actually comes in okay, given the experiences of others in this thread. Fingers crossed that this comes in safe with the new packaging and no QC issues to write home about (I deal with those enough at work as it is).

I have to say it looks better in person than in pictures which is a plus. It's built, but not soldered, so waiting for some free time sometimes later this week.
I had some issues with the ano, but nothing major on two noticeable spots, but nothing to get upset about.
The main problem with the board was that i tried to assemble it with an ISO enter, but the plate is missing a small peg to hold the left side of the switch which sadly makes it tilt and thus does not work properly :(
This is how it looks:

The plate was the biggest pain in the ass however. Im pretty sure my thumb developed new callouses pushing the switches in. Soldering was somewhat scary too as the resistors were so close to the switch pins.
Overall it's great. First time programming a board and it was really nice. I was afraid the PCB was not working, but after checking bootmapper, everything was bound to BAD, so after figuring out what was what after my initial panic attack, everything seems to be in working order!
Thanks again 27, I know it was a rough journey, but I appreciate everything!

Anyone know if this PCB would work with Holtite sockets like https://mehkee.com/products/holtite-sockets-for-switches? Haven't used them but they look interesting.
asked the same thing here, and on the holtite groupby I wasn't able to find an answer but bought the sockets anyway, it'll probably be awhile but I'll try to remember to update once I have both products in hand.

Just finished my board, arrived in great condition. Bless the new packaging. Had one minor scratch in the upper right that's only visible in the sun.
The plate was the biggest pain in the ass however. Im pretty sure my thumb developed new callouses pushing the switches in. Soldering was somewhat scary too as the resistors were so close to the switch pins.
Overall it's great. First time programming a board and it was really nice. I was afraid the PCB was not working, but after checking bootmapper, everything was bound to BAD, so after figuring out what was what after my initial panic attack, everything seems to be in working order!
Thanks again 27, I know it was a rough journey, but I appreciate everything!

for what reason?
27 ran out of packing foam last I talked to him. He's getting more cut.

It's okay, I manually programmed every key, was not expecting the layout to be opposite of my other keyboard, so it was a weird trial and error.

I think 27 didn't allow additional PCB purchases though did allow additional plate purchases. However, out of curiosity, does anyone have a Mech27 plate and ideally a PCB counterpart that they would sell?Hit up quad cube I think he has a couple extras. Before I installed a new usb on mine he did

So I think I may have done the initial set up of the board incorrectly this winkeyless site is super confusing for me, I have like 50 tabs open just trying to find the firmware (apparently I didn't scroll down far enough) I ended up loading some hex that apparently wasn't for the board when I did the "Firm Up (Select .hex File)" step and now the keyboard doesn't work at all, I finally found what I believe is the correct firmware however I can't upload it because the keyboard wont connect to the bootmapper anymore, I read holding control will fix this sometimes however since they board comes mapped "BAD" to every key I don't think holding control is doing anything as I've tried it quite a few times.
Any idea on how to manually install or uninstall firmware so I can start again from scratch and hopefully have a working PCB this time?

I reached out to Yuktsi since I noticed it had their name on the PCB and they let me know that I needed to hold "Scroll lock" instead of "Ctrl" and sure enough it's up and running :D

I think if you hold down Q and plug it in it will let you reflash it or at least communicate with bootmapper.
Try that and see what happens

I did not receive anything - 27 only at the end of March informed me that delivery to Russia by plane is impossible, only on land, which increases the time and risks, but immediately offered a refund.
But, already 8 days there is no news on my return and there are no specific answers either.
The result - I waited six months, experienced with each new failure (first screws, then bad packaging), spent some money on the components for the board and did not get anything, even a refund.
I would not want to load anybody with my problems, but this GB left extremely negative emotions :(

Anyone know if this PCB would work with Holtite sockets like https://mehkee.com/products/holtite-sockets-for-switches? Haven't used them but they look interesting.
Hey mate - I just received an unbuilt kit that I got secondhand and tested the switch and LED sockets.
They are actually a near perfect fit (only need slight pressure with a flat edge to get the PCB to sit in the socket's groove as opposed to heat) except for the switch leg hole that is closer to the center.
That one seems to be a bit loose -- it will not fall out if you shake the PCB or turn it upside down, but if you have a switch with fatter pins, the socket may pull out with the switch (but will stick to the switch leg).
This is not an issue for me so I am going to fully hot swap the entire board, but it may bother some.

After all the trouble this went through, I still really like my Mech27 a lot. The very tight plate fit is a pain during assembly but adds that extra bit of firmness to the typing experience. I haven't built my Silver Mech27 with Ergo Clears yet but my Black/Linear build is really en par with other, more expensive custom TKL kits I have built!

The tight plate has definitely had some impact, but agree it gives a solid feel. I've noticed that MOD switches have a slightly thicker plastic versus Gateron and Cherry switches.

It will probably be around $5ish shipped (especially you order from Asia on, say, eBay) to get all the bolts for your kit. I'm not saying you shouldn't have received all of them in the first place, but if there's a delay of indeterminate duration and you want to build your board soon, it's something you can consider doing. Fasteners are the cheapest expense on a custom keyboard, compared to everything else.

Tbh the hardware that comes with the board isn't that great. I went to the local hardware store and got a full set of nice bolts. That's not to say you aren't owed hardware tho.You might want to just order the bolts yourself to get them faster.

Pinging the thread again for updates on replacement hardware. Was told that they would be sent out ASAP.

Thank you for the patience and understanding of those of you affected by the damaged or missing pieces.
On a side note, Mech27.com has launched and I am selling Panda switches there. The profit from these have gone towards resolving this situation.
I will also have some b-stocks available soon (2-3)

I may also be in a slack or discord with you, always named 27.
Thank you everyone for the support and patience through this process.
I have learned a lot during this GB and expect my next to go much more smoothly due to lower quantity, proper legal protections from manufacturer error, a new manufacturer, and more rigorous QC.
Thanks again!

All replacements have been sent. If there are any continuing concerns please PM me on your platform of choice.

Right on, 27... really good to hear that kind of update.
Not sure I ever posted my build here, but I am very happy with the way it all turned out! Board feels great and is a tank- almost as heavy as my TX-CP, which is nuts. Hope others are enjoying their Mech-27's as well. Sorry for crap photo, but you get the idea...

Interesting layout smittysteve. Why replace the backspace w/ \| & Print Scr? Also why the Alts on one side Ctrls on other?
i suspect it's becuase that's just what he had on hand

So regarding all the boards that were damaged (during shipping/manufacturing/doesnt matter) did you get replacements from 27? Or how was that resolved. Some of the pics I saw showed very obvious damage -- chipped corners and the like.
Then saw some really nasty posts by people w/ some microscratches (only visible from a certain angle and light) Probably join R2 when it starts, but if anyone has a Mech27 that's cosmetically damaged (but still functional) they don't want would be willing to buy it off w/ a price break depending on how bad the damge is.

Anyone know where to get an extra PCB for this? Just went in on a polycarb plate gb for the 27 so wondering~Any A.87 sized PCB fits, be it the original A.87, the TX87-PCB (Kin might be out of stock though) , the GON, (the QMK compatible one I made in KiCAD but did not get made yet), etc.

Any more news on when R2 is dropping?
"soon"
he should be getting the prototype later this week, then a few small things still need to get sorted (shouldn't take more than a few weeks, maybe even less)
after that, we golden
i'm excited for this one, 27 has put some serious work into it

Were these manufactured and shipped from Canada in R1?
made in china, shipped from canada
same factory as x60 in m27 R1
27 has found a new factory for R2 and is confident in their abilities
also they're 10 minutes from where he lives (and primarily speak english), which means communication is a lot easier
also i bring prototype pictures: https://imgur.com/a/PzfqC
(https://i.imgur.com/WYL2LBE.jpg)
he says GB will start in "a month tops"
preliminary color options: Silver/black/navy blue/ferrari red
MOQ 50
"$350-400 USD" but comes with a lot more stuff, custom packaging, for example

The v2 is about cost reduction due to being made locally so no acrylic to shave off that little bit extra.
I'll possibly revisit some sort of diffuser insert in the future.

Will certain colors like cyan/pink make a return? I've seen a bunch of amazing cyan builds come out of R1 that's gotten me all hyped up for R2. Regardless, I'll probably still get in on this cuz this board is awesome.Sadly no, local place doesn't have as many colour options, and custom ones are $1000 per colour.
Any chance for a dark gray color option?Maybe? Grays are fairly difficult to do consistently, so I don't think it would come out very well. I could look at hard anodizing in future runs/projects, which is a dark grey by default.

few question if you don't mind!
Will price reduction mean it will be cheaper then the 350-400 that was quoted?
Also whats the expected turn around time being local. I would assume it be faster? Also the saving on shipping perhaps?

Yeah I'd totally love a dark hard anodized gray. I'm assuming the ballpark gray you're referring to is different than the typical titanium gray, which is a good thing! I'd totally be down for that. So long as the gray doesn't look black! :thumb:

Cost reduction to offset the higher cost of the main parts. $350-$400 is still accurate. Also local will mean faster, but I am having the packaging made in China, so that will be something to wait on.

Thats not to bad if it includes PP fees and Shipping. One other question will the PCB included be pre soldered? Just needing switches soldered on?

Cerakote is not possible. There's not exactly a demand for gun customization in Ontario, so I'd have to send them off to have it done.

Cerakote is not a gun thing (though its often advertised in conjunction with other high wear firearm finishings). It's just a general purpose ceramic powder with a plasticizer which is sprayed and cured in an oven. Most paint shops/auto garages is equipped to do cerakoting (it's not at all far removed from just regular powdercoat finish). A cursory Google search turned up plenty of places in Ontario that advertises powdercoat/ceramic coating capability, there's bound to be one that is capable of and are willing to do contract work for you :thumb:

Gotcha, then I think sticking with the anodize would also be a good idea for money saving. What would be some color which are confirmed to be available for R2 ? And is it possible to do some mix and match for the top and bottom pieces with different color?

Black/silver/navy/red are soft confirmed. There's a bit on the last page about it.
Unsure about mix/match. I'll ask 27 to check up on it.

I'm aware that there are places that do it, but none of these are local, meaning I would still have to send them off and take extra time and money.
Basically no cerakote, as it's not worth the added complexity to the process.
