There should be. I'll confirm it with Duck. He will have an updated layout picture soon.

Around $70

Default is STS (stainless steel) or plastic (polycarbonate). You would pay $10 extra if you decided to swap the default plate for an aluminum one. It's related to the process they use for manufacturing. I believe it's basically the due to laser-cut vs CNC.

Post by: nonpolar on Fri, 27 April 2018, 19:51:23
I don't think Duck's included any weights in the past few GB's. The last one I can recall is the one for Octagon V2, and that was exclusively for Korea's GB. There could possibly be a separate GB run by someone else for the weight, though.

same as other recent GBs

duck distributes the weight file later and you can get your own wight made, or someone will run a GB

As an owner of a couple of Duck boards and an observer of Duck GB's, I think the consistent quality he turns out is somehow understated (it is consistently very high). For me, the firmware is the issue and it isn't even a big deal. Just picky and Topre bound. Though, I love this board.

Previous duck boards have been ported to QMK, I think there's a good chance this one will as well, especially considering how heavy it is on macros/non-standard stuff.

This is one of the most exciting Duck designs! I don't understand the low interest ...
Seems like the monthly chinese TKL custom GB sells better than something really new.


Yep, I reckon some people will regret it later.

Also seeing 1/2 the participants going steel plate gives me pause about my choice there too. Starting to wonder, being that this is a very unique design, better off ordering a spare pcb with the steel plate.

exactly why I got 2 PCBs and both steel and aluminum plates. can desolder and swap out plates and switches if I don't like the plate, and a spare PCB just in case I screw up the first one when desoldering...

Out of curiosity: Why would one choose the offered plastic plate over steel oder aluminium? I would expect it to be inferiour regarding for example flex and noise/sound.
Is it about aesthetics?

If I recall correctly, it has to do with manufacturing. The plates are laser-cut and not CNC machined. Aluminum in this case would require them to use CNC services, which would be costlier than manufacturing SS and plastic plates as far as time/process/supply of raw material goes.

Plastic is not necessarily inferior as a plate. It all depends on the build and feel you are trying to accomplish. There are a lot of very high-quality keyboards with polycarbonate/plastic plates or half-plates as well, and some enthusiasts prefer them.

I know some people who prefer PC/plastic for the plate because it has a softer bottom-out. The sound is usually also lower-pitched compared to metal plates (partly because any pinging is eliminated) so depending on the switch type, it can make for a really nice sounding board.

Adding a weight to a board is 80% just adding more money/premium things into the board and 20% to make it heavier. Its not worth it but it does make it heavier and its an extra $80 you can throw into your already overly expensive board.

I'm curious to know what people are planning to use for caps that will work with this layout, particularly the two columns on the left side.

The easy option is a uniform profile set - I have SA Nuclear Data which is all R3 as my default option, it has a handy set of macro keys to fill in the left columns. It's a bit boring though so keeping an eye out for sculpted sets that may have sufficient novelties.

GMK Space Cadet may be an option depending on what the final kits look like (You can currently cobble something together out of the Symbols set that matches the row profiles of the left columns, but end up with duplicates).

Another solution would be to pickup a second set of F keys or mono legend numerals for kits that support them and just live with the left columns not matching the row profile of the rest of the keys.

I'm curious to know what people are planning to use for caps that will work with this layout, particularly the two columns on the left side.

FWIW DSA Miami Dolch had a 'macro' kit with keys labelled M1, M2, ..., M12.

You can check out truecustom's new website. He will post updates there. Truscustom is the one who manufactures these keyboards.

Do you have any information about the Raven/Sidewinder teased on Unique Armory? I really would love this. I wonder when this IC/GB is coming...

Dear All,

duck0113 confirmed that Raven/Sidewinder will be run separately from his main GB.
Therefore, after TC-V3 GB next will be Orion V3. :)

I believe the batch shipping is to save duck from having to do 100 boards at once, so i'd imagine it'll be batches

but also, i have no idea

Width is pretty much identical to TX-CP, depth is a tiny bit higher on the TC-V3 as it has 0.25u spacing for the F-row compared to none on TX-CP, you might have to cut a few mm of foam if at all.

Yeah now that I look at it, they're close but I'm pretty sure the TC-v3 is a bit wider also.

Both keyboards have 19 columns of keys, the TX-CP has one 0.5u gap left of the numpad while TC-V3 has two 0.25u gaps on the left and right. So the only difference would be in bezel width, which is also very similar between the two.

I'm pretty sure most of you have probably been following on kbdlab but here's their last update in case.
(Google translate)
"September 13, 2018

Now that the board production has been completed, Duck is conducting a full inspection.

I think the schedule will be delayed by several days rather than the thought, so delivery will be done in early next week.

Thank you again for your understanding.

I've been talking about the exported keyboard rabbits / sidewinders for a while now,

We plan to sell some of our exports in Korea.

After completing TC-V3 as it is already made, proceed with the tool for one day,

Orion deduction will be done immediately after it is completed within 1 ~ 2 weeks to delivery.

As it has already been made, we will proceed by the tool method.

Thank you for your help."

So probably 2-4 weeks for us?

(Google translate)

September 21, 2018

All of our products will be shipped to you by post office.


A / S period is until September 31.

Please be sure to unpack the package within A / S period.
 
In case of PCB, if you connect USB by putting it on a conductor such as metal during testing before assembling,

Permanent damage to the substrate may occur and in this case the A / S is excluded,

Thank you for the test on the insulator such as a thick book.

Although it is expected that there will not be any special defect due to virtue testing by virtue,

Please pre-test with tweezers before releasing the switch.

Finally, new software for F / W will be released after Chuseok holidays.

The new software is designed to work on all O / S (including Mac and Linux)

It will also be integrated with the software for wireless keyboards to be launched after Orion V3.

We will release the test as soon as the finishing work is completed.

Thank you for your support

'TC-V3 + Tealios' by JH87

"The first custom keyboard is TC-V3.

LED and bottom row 6u, keying etc. There are many things to do, but I try to put up one."

[attach=5]

"Hello, it's been posting in a long time.

It seems that the delivery date has passed .. when it comes or Oh, it is despair ..

The post office shipping catok that was not scheduled this morning came.

I was expecting the product I was waiting for.

Packaging has been very strong. You do not have to worry about breakage.
 
I am trying to use Flavobang for the first time.

Now, it's time to try out Steville in the morning.

Steville Where is the only place to sell black plastic parts ,,,"

The boards look beautiful imo, and the anodization on the black looks especially great. This will be my first Duck board, so I'm super excited!

All of our products will be shipped to you by post office.


A / S period is until September 31.

Please be sure to unpack the package within A / S period.
 
In case of PCB, if you connect USB by putting it on a conductor such as metal during testing before assembling,

Permanent damage to the substrate may occur and in this case the A / S is excluded,

Thank you for the test on the insulator such as a thick book.

Although it is expected that there will not be any special defect due to virtue testing by virtue,

Please pre-test with tweezers before releasing the switch.

Finally, new software for F / W will be released after Chuseok holidays.

The new software is designed to work on all O / S (including Mac and Linux)

It will also be integrated with the software for wireless keyboards to be launched after Orion V3.

We will release the test as soon as the finishing work is completed.

Thank you for your support

thanks for translating! excited that its shipping soon

FYI: I'm a participant in local GB in Korea and I can confirm shipping has been completed.
Since next week (from 22nd to 26th) is a big holiday for Korea (Korean thanksgiving) its likely that the Int'l shipping will take place after that.

Hype! Glad to hear it, do you have any pictures?

I went onto KBDLab and there seem to be a few posts with pics over there:

'TC-V3 + Tealios' by JH87

"The first custom keyboard is TC-V3.

LED and bottom row 6u, keying etc. There are many things to do, but I try to put up one."

"Hello, it's been posting in a long time.

It seems that the delivery date has passed .. when it comes or Oh, it is despair ..

The post office shipping catok that was not scheduled this morning came.

I was expecting the product I was waiting for.

Packaging has been very strong. You do not have to worry about breakage.
 
I am trying to use Flavobang for the first time.

Now, it's time to try out Steville in the morning.

Steville Where is the only place to sell black plastic parts ,,,"

Text translated by Google.

The boards look beautiful imo, and the anodization on the black looks especially great. This will be my first Duck board, so I'm super excited!

So, we can expecting the delivery around Oct?

Sweet, the spacing on the front under glow LEDs seems to be improved a tad bit over the last couple duck boards.

Hopefully soon.

Seems like they might be a couple weeks behind based on when the Korean GB kits were mailed compared to when Elton said they would go out.

Maybe we will get an update!

I have been wondering too.

Looks like Elton hasn't been on in about a month.

I will shoot him a PM about an update. Maybe that will send him an email notification.

Thanks for your patience!

Delays happen. I would rather have a better end product than something that was rushed to meet a deadline.

Thanks for the update, Elton!

Yeah.

The middle one is really the only issue.

If that one was centered, it would look great.

It has always kinda bugged me too. I will probably fix it on at least one of my PCBS when they come in.

I think there would have been an announcement that boards have actually shipped.

Duck always runs a Korean groupbuy first, then an international one. Elton organizes the international GB, and TrueCustom handles the Korean one. Pretty sure the orders from each are sent to the manufacturer separately and done in batches. Paperwork for shipping internationally is totally different from paperwork for shipping locally. Customs 'n ****.

If at all possible, I would really like the tracking information for my kit. 

There is a severe postal strike in Canada and the backlog/error rate of package delivery is horrendous, to the point where Canada Post has requested all foreign postal services to withhold packages destined here.  EMS packages are ultimately delivered by Canada Post. 

I’ve already had a really nice artisan cap get lost and would be devastated if my TC-v3 met the same fate.

I'd also really like the tracking number if possible. All (so far) of my packages from Korea (and China) have had my postal code wrong, and the item wrongly delivered. I'm lucky it's to a business that notifies me but I'm sure they're getting sick of it by now!

To the people asking for an update, check the Google Spreadsheet at the bottom of the original post, it updates with tracking when the boards go out.

This is what I am checking.

I think we're just a bit curious/eager as it's been (almost) a month without any update

Yeah, I check that pretty much daily, ever since the 1st round went out without any notice.

I was just hoping for an idea of when to expect shipment.....even though all the previous updates and shipping estimations have been waaaay off.  :))

I just want to be able to plan, so I can be home when it gets delivered.

just put your tracking number in google and search....then hit the USPS link.

make sure you double click the cell that your number is in, so it highlights the numbers that aren't showing. Your complete tracking number is EG236490765KR

The 5KR doesn't show on the spread sheet.

It's the cluster by the arrow keys. I has 2 in there that we're bad. I can live with it, as the rest of the board works fine.

They only activate when layers are selected, but mine were obviously dead due to multimeter readings. Make sure that it isn't a polarity reversal or just because the layer isn't active.

Put your multimeter in resistance or continuity test mode. If the resistance is 0 ohms or it beeps on the continuity test, it's bad. That's what happened on mine. Make sure your stabilizers aren't to blame, so back them all out a turn if they are all the way screwed in.

I'm almost done redrawing the plate. Still need to add the holes/slots for the mounting screws, round off the outer corners and simplify stabilizer cutouts. And do a cheap test cut in acrylic or something (unless one of you can do a test cut quickly).

What kind of layout do you need? I'm personally going ANSI, split backspace and right shift, 1.5/1/1.5/6/1.5/1/1.5 bottom row, probably both kinds of caps lock, all 1u macro keys.

Cool. Did you draw it with swillkb builder?

I prefer to 6.25u or 7u spacebar because it's much easier to get the keycap(especially SA). Could you draw an universal plate to be compatible with all spacebar sizes?

Cool. Did you draw it with swillkb builder?

Partially. The switch cutouts are from swillkb builder. Using 0.15mm (IIRC) edge padding as the only customization. For the outline and additional cutouts, I put an original plate on a scanner, aligned it with the generated DXF and traced the outline manually in Fusion.

I prefer to 6.25u or 7u spacebar because it's much easier to get the keycap(especially SA). Could you draw an universal plate to be compatible with all spacebar sizes?

Sure, no problem. I'll make sure the bottom row matches the original plate.

6u can be a pain, I had to delay my build for a while when I learned (the hard way) that the 6u stab wire I had from an G80 1800 (with the extra bends) wouldn't work with a plate.

Yeah, It's painful to use 6u. I suggest using OEM center stem 6u spacebar if you insist 6u. It's more popular then offset stem 6u these days on GMK keysets, but some tooling only has offset stem 6u, like epbt. But you still could buy the wire somewhere to match it, very few choice though. Or costar stab.

I got them from an OG Skidata keyboard (from the ebay.de seller that sells them from time to time). The 1997 Cherry and 2017 GMK colors are a pretty good match.

Looks like the Skiidata GB starting next week will also have a relegendables kit (though most keys there are going to have orange front-printing).

I'm a huge fan of tap/hold functionality, and it's main reason all of my boards run QMK - except the TC-V3 so definitely hoping QMK gets ported.

Layers. On base layer the top and middle row left LEDs are lit (not sure if that’s supposed to be like that or not). I currently only have one extra layer programmed, but when I hold down the key to change to that layer the top row of 3 all light up. Haven’t had time to play around with the board much yet, so I haven’t added any extra layers to play with to see how the lights work (like what lights up for what layer).

Thanks.  I just go this put together tonight.  The layer leds are kinda wonky.  I've pretty much got to redo mine.  But they work.

O2D. You can get the latest O2D software from this post https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=95335.msg2696393#msg2696393

Past that, you'll have to do some research to find guides and information on how to use it.

Any links to the latest firmware?

Further up in the thread is a link to the latest O2D for the TC-V3.

Thanks.

And I found this on github

The only real issue I had was saving the hex file. It would constantly fail and error out when trying to save, no matter what name I gave the file. I didn’t see it discussed in that guide you linked, but found mention of it in another guide/discussion, was that you need to go into the directory where O2D is and create a new txt file, rename it to whatever you want to call your hex, and change the extension from .txt to .hex. After that the file will show up when saving and allow you to overwrite it, giving you a working hex save file.

I had that issue too until I changed that sys language to Korean as mentioned in the tutorial. It's a bit ridiculous for a board being sold internationally. But at least it works...

He’s said he’s still working on it. I asked him about it during one of his recent build streams, you can catch his answer here:  https://www.twitch.tv/videos/414011590?t=7757s (https://www.twitch.tv/videos/414011590?t=7757s)

When I used O2D I was able to flash successfully without changing language.

Yeah I never had any problems flashing without changing the language, just saving a hex file, but the workaround was easy enough.

Hi,
Can anyone help me out with the LEDs and underglow RGB controls? I just got this board and the underglow was working. I flashed a new hex file using O2D and it was still working but then all of a sudden, the RGB Mode function in the layer does nothing and the underglow does not light up.

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I have assembled the keyboard using Snow-Pro ALPS-TKL pcb and I'm struggling with keymap.
I tried both Snow Tool and O2D tool to connect to the board without success.

I thought that I do not have the correct driver installed.
Could anyone help me with this.

How do you even get a TKL pcb to fit in this case with the funky layout?  :eek:

I wondered the same thing. Maybe it was meant for the Orion V3 thread.

I noticed that mechmerlin got the TC-V3 port into QMK, has anyone has any success with that?

If I compile any of the supplied keymaps and flash I end up with a dead board (no output from keypresses).

Thankfully I can roll it back to default firmware ok, but would love to get QMK working on it.

Just FYI mechmerlin identified the issue on the QMK discord and indicated it is a problem with the matrix.c file. You need to grab  this (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mechmerlin/qmk_firmware/5bfac1c1b4e0cb055837197d94b79ab8a04ab681/keyboards/duck/tcv3/matrix.c) one from an earlier commit for the moment. Is currently working for me but I have not tried anything other than flashing the default map.
