High $300's, Low $400's from what I was told. I'll admit, the prices they're placing are a bit out there. I think they're taking advantage of their popularity. Not that there's anything wrong with that, just a little disappointing since I'm sure we all wanted them at a reasonable price.  :(

It's definitely pretty high. When was the original GB? I joined the original Jane and paid...$420 I think for that one? But that was a year and a half ago.

$530 does not include the PCB. Entire kit (case + PCB) is $560 not including shipping.

EDIT: $530 DOES include PCB. An extra PCB is $30. Sorry about the confusion!

Also, regarding pricing - the factory that he originally had these made at have raised prices. Believe it or not, this price took some fighting for. In fact, in order to get the price to this point, we had to raise qty for each board to 50 each. That's 40 more than we were planning on doing. Sorry if this is too much for people, but it is what it is. We did what we could.

BMW is there an option to put priority ?

If you win both raffles and would not like one of the spots, just let me know afterwards and I will draw again for the next person. Make sense? (It's way easier on me so I don't have to go through the lists and remove people and whatnot)

I believe so, but I will double check to make sure 100%. If you don't see an edit/reply, please PM me.

Regarding some questions asked on the form:

Quote
What amount will the package be marked as? (Customs declaration)
This has not been decided yet.

Quote
Is there an option to remove the text Geekhack Edition?
As of now, no. Lin wants to distinguish these from previous models. Sorry.

Love you too, mate.  ;)

Do these boards have any weights? I know previous designs did. Also, I saw some letters on the bottom of the EM.7 render, can we see some more pics of that (or hopefully the letters are removed  :p)?

Dolphin and EM7 do not have weights. I'm not sure about v2 as I don't have one (although I'm fairly sure they don't have a weight), but v1 definitely does not. However, this board is very heavy. My board has a brass top so it's extra heavy, but v1 is about 5-6 lbs. (Mine is about 8 pounds)

Also, all renders are available on IC thread.

EMS shipping Price (1set) with Tracking number
Asia : $40
EU, Canada : $73
Usa : $82

Form
https://goo.gl/forms/mXhFNdpyEzh9wJNN2

*Please let me know if you have any issues with the form.

Please note:
If you are caught entering the raffle twice, all of your chances will be removed and you will not be able to participate in the raffle. Please do NOT sell your raffle spot. Consequences for selling your raffle spot may result in losing it. Please contact me if a situation arises where you would no longer like your spot and we can work things out.

Lin may still be tweaking these to perfection. He reserves the right to change the render up until the point that you pay the invoice. If, for whatever reason, you decide that you do not like the final design, you may give up your spot in the GB.

NOTE: Dolphin bottom is no longer the same as the v1 bottom case.

Next Steps
The raffle will stay open until March 1st, at 12 a.m. EST. After that point, submissions will be considered invalid and will not be put in the drawing. I will draw names on Saturday, March 4th. I would love to stream this on Twitch or something if at all possible. I make no promises, but I would really like to do that. After winners have been selected, they will be presented with an order form for the drawing they won. Once the form is filled out, you will be invoiced. You will have one week to pay the invoice or you risk losing your spot. I expect 4-6 weeks turn-around, but you never know when it comes to factory delays, QC checks, etc. We will do our very best to get your kbd to you ASAP. (After all, I want mine too!!!) If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

May the RNG gods be ever in your favor.

anyone know where I can find possible layouts of EM7?

I, too, would like to see the layouts possible.
Which ones in particular were you concerned over?

I know split Bs is. I'm assuming split r Shift is too, but I can't comment on that.

There should be a split r shift. check the plate (http://kbdlab.co.kr/files/attach/images/340/325/805/003/31a7d2e3d8f2a42e8e6cb04017103270.jpg)

and one thing surprise me is that the R2 in right-hand side has one more key than the original keyboard.

It's definitely pretty high. When was the original GB? I joined the original Jane and paid...$420 I think for that one? But that was a year and a half ago.

You have the Jane I want. lolol
But yeah I've seen people selling that for $800+ easy.

I guess I'm gonna start buying all these custom keyboards and rip people off at double the price, too. lmao jk

NOTE: Dolphin bottom is no longer the same as the v1 bottom case.


So the bottom of GH edition wont look like this anymore

(http://i.imgur.com/2gWLc5B.jpg)
(http://i.imgur.com/XXMVAsx.jpg)

And it will be identical to V2 bottom, I guess? I kinda like V1 more though.

I buy a lot of keyboards but this one is too rich for my blood.  Which is fine, I wouldn't have won the raffle anyway.

Good luck with the GB, and thanks for making it possible to get one of these beauties.

I've seen quite a few go on sale on kbdlab because the owners couldn't get used to the layout... I can guess where they're coming from though. I was considering buying one used but I didn't because I thought the same thing might happen to me as I've never used ergo layouts b4. also the EM7 has 2 "B" keys so I doubted that I would be able to get used to it or like it.

I gotta admit though, it looks damn nice, especially the dark grey one coupled with a dolch set.

That was my fear as well, never used anything like an Ergodox or a split keyboard, and this would be a heck of an expensive way to figure out if you like it.  Although apparently the resale is pretty ridiculous.
   
As for me, I entered for the Dolphin.  Will be ecstatic if I win, and then sad that I am about to shell out that much cash. :eek:

Could just run the raffle but keep invoicing time as the same. It's not difficult to sign up for the raffle but switching the invoice date may be a bigger issue for some.

Correct, it is not the v1 bottom. It is a new design.


Drawing Total Entries

Dolphin: 114

EM7: 90

I will do the drawing on Saturday. Time TBD still, I need to figure out what my Saturday looks like. I will update the thread when I've figured out the time. After the drawing, I will post the list of winners on this thread. Shortly after (a few days), I will email each winner and send them the order form. After filling out the order form, an email with a total will be sent by either Lin or myself. Lin would like to use Moneygram for the payment. https://secure.moneygram.com/ Lin/myself will include details in the email sent to winners.

Nice, odds aren't looking as bad as I thought.

I have never used Moneygram for payment before. For anyone that's used it, is it comparable to a Paypal invoice in terms of protection and whatnot?

Correct, it is not the v1 bottom. It is a new design.


Drawing Total Entries

Dolphin: 114

EM7: 90

I will do the drawing on Saturday. Time TBD still, I need to figure out what my Saturday looks like. I will update the thread when I've figured out the time. After the drawing, I will post the list of winners on this thread. Shortly after (a few days), I will email each winner and send them the order form. After filling out the order form, an email with a total will be sent by either Lin or myself. Lin would like to use Moneygram for the payment. https://secure.moneygram.com/ Lin/myself will include details in the email sent to winners.

Yikes, any chance he could ask Kin for help, and use PayPal? Kin packed his previous group buys/collected payments from what I heard. Moneygram is quite an odd option, and I think it lacks protection as well.

There is no buyers protection from Moneygram from what I believe. Sadly I'm in the same boat, if there isn't a PayPal option I don't want to participate.

Also PayPal is a place where some folks will keep money from sold items to then transfer off for new items without bothering to transfer into their bank. Makes life easier when saving up for new items.

That Ivan guy everyone talks about has too, but then one day poof!

Not saying Lyn would do that of course. It's just good to look at things from all angles. PayPal is a better option in my opinion, since it would give everyone buyers protection, so your money is safe.

Well, the problem is that Moneygram is the same as walking up to a guy in a parking lot, handing him $500 and asking him to meet you back there in 4 months. Just not good business practice.

I'd advise everyone to read the consumer protection section (https://www.moneygram.com/wps/portal/moneygramonline/home/CustomerService/ConsumerProtection/). There is absolutely no protection, and I would highly advise _BMW_M3_ and Lin to use PayPal.

MoneyGram never recommends sending money to a stranger. Any monies received by a stranger cannot be recovered and unfortunately you will not get your money refunded back to you.

Even a 3%-5% increase in price with Paypal to avoid any potential currency conversion round issues would be better than moneygram. I hope you guys strongly reconsider this.

hello friend
I'm Lx3 (linlinlin)

sorry for use Moneygram .

I used the money gram because it was easy for me.
I already tried bmw3 and money grams. It was very convenient.

I tried to use PayPal to withdraw $ 800 to my Korean account, but my account was restricted.
PayPal has not yet heard the reason.


I have been doing a lot of co - production in Korea and have not caused any problems at all.
I hope that this will give you confidence.
I'm different from Druger.
He also cheated many people's money in Korea.

I know very well what you are worried about.

I will contact PayPal tomorrow to discuss this issue.

If it is difficult to solve, it is inevitably necessary to use a moneygram.

Lynn would have used PayPal, if it's more approachable like how it used to be. It's no fun when PayPal decided to hold 30% of the total transaction for the next 3-6 months. We are talking about 60k US$ worth of transaction. What if USD - KRW drops tremendous over the next few months under the leadership of President Trump? Well, that's something we can't predict? Plus Lynn is probably making only 15% profit out of the GB, max. I don't think it's a risk worth taking. Considering he is not doing this full time.

You guys are aware that if I were to receive $60k of cash through PayPal, I would be audited by the IRS, right? You can't just receive $60k and then shovel it to South Korea and expect the US Government to be okay with that. Imagine the taxes on that...

I really understand the solution isn't ideal... but if PayPal doesn't help us out, our hands are somewhat tied.

I don't really have any skin in this debate, but I will say from personal experience in dealing with the IRS all the time, no you would not get audited for that.  You would report $60k of income and then report the cost of the materials, shipping, and other fees as expenses, with the difference being taxable to you.  People run GBs through PayPal accounts all the time and none have reported having tax issues with the IRS, unless of course you are not reporting the income, which would really only matter if you are a US citizen.

Ring PayPal and ask to remove the limit on income. It took 5 minutes to verify my account and remove the 2.5k limit - I took over $38k. PayPal only hold money when you don't set your account up properly.
Please xondat.You don't even know how Paypal treat their Asian customer.When I was living in Vietnam,they used to hold me $5000 for 3 months ,and everytime I tried to contact them ,they said :" We are checking". So I can understand lin's problem.

so many other groupbuys use paypal. what the hell is going on?



600 dollars and no protection? accounts with barely any history? this groupbuy is looking sketchy as ****
it's okay bro, you don't have to join.

You're one of the makers or GB providers aren't you?
You can't possibly go around and say things like moneygram is okay and you don't care... lol

Come on man.

I wouldn't join a sketchy groupbuy with moneygram even for a 20 dollar pack of springs,

I mean if you are not comfortable with dealing through moneygram, you don't have to join.

Lynn would have used PayPal, if it's more approachable like how it used to be. It's no fun when PayPal decided to hold 30% of the total transaction for the next 3-6 months. We are talking about 60k US$ worth of transaction. What if USD - KRW drops tremendous over the next few months under the leadership of President Trump? Well, that's something we can't predict? Plus Lynn is probably making only 15% profit out of the GB, max. I don't think it's a risk worth taking. Considering he is not doing this full time.

Perhaps all GB should be done through Massdrop in future, but some of you hate Massdrop. So idk.  :'(

So then GB leader can increase the price of the GB.

We're already paying over $500-600 and at this point the marginal increase of GB price isn't a problem.
I'd rather pay extra for a 100% protection than use this sketchy moneygram.

You still don't understand the problem. If PayPal holds his money ($20-30k), how is he supposed to put the order in? Use $20-30k of his own money? I'm not trying to be rude, but we don't know of another option. Do you have another option? I'm all ears. 

Believe me, I would love to use PayPal. It's simple and easy, except for the person receiving the money. As of right now, it's not possible.

I understand.  That's why I said to increase the price then by whatever much the PayPal is gonna hold onto.
Problem solved. lol

According to yuktsi, 30% (not sure it that's a solid number or not).

Lol $690 for a KB? Not even including the shipping cost? lol. $796 with shipping to US with that 30% hike. Don't think I could swallow that.

I'd say if PP isn't an option, we can rehash who's still down with the GB and see how many participants we have left.

Post by: _BMW_M3_ on Wed, 01 March 2017, 18:02:48
So, as a final post for this discussion:

1. MoneyGram is currently the only payment option. Lin will contact PayPal tomorrow to see if it would be possible to do transactions through PayPal without funds being withheld. If PayPal is not a viable option, we will continue with MoneyGram. If you win the raffle but don't like the payment option, please respond to my email and tell me you're not interested or post on the thread. (Or post on the thread ahead of time so I don't waste my time sending 100+ emails)

2. The MoneyGram payment will go directly to Lin. This was already decided before the group buy. It eliminates a lot of hassles, fees, taxes, etc. Prior to the group buy, Lin and I decided this would be the best way. If for whatever reason you deem that Lin and I are not trustworthy, please PM me or post here and I will remove you from the list.

3. My role in the group buy: Lin asked that I handle the posts, questions, countless PMs, forms, emails, etc. etc. to prevent him from handling that. His English isn't at the level of someone like Kin, so I agreed to help him out - call me his "secretary" if you'd like. ;) I'm receiving a keyboard out of this and nothing else. From the beginning, I did this for the community. I'm newer to the community and hadn't yet contributed, so what better way than to bring the Dolphin and EM7 to GH?

If you have any questions or comments, please PM me.

I want to thank everyone else for being so understanding, helpful and for supporting this GB. This is my first go at a GB and Lin's first on GH as well. We're doing everything we can to make this a smooth, easy experience. We understand not everything is ideal, but understand that we're doing our best.

Also, if you'd like to meet me in person (in case you think I'm some fantasy, made-up person), I'll be at the Dayton, OH keyboard meet-up that I'll be helping put together in May. I was also at the Cleveland, OH meet-up a few months ago.

I think the issue is with lin trying to withdraw funds or something. PayPal isn't as nice international as they are in the States.

Maybe we all should see how the raffle goes first to see which buyers are affected and if they'd prefer MoneyGram or PayPal.

then bmw m3 can collect payments via paypal and send the total as moneygram and assume liability for it all.

A single person liable for $53,000+ worth of goods?

why is that a question?

every gb leader is the same in that they're liable for a large sum of money. just look at elton, he's done it like what 6 times now with at least 40k each gb


You guys are aware that if I were to receive $60k of cash through PayPal, I would be audited by the IRS, right? You can't just receive $60k and then shovel it to South Korea and expect the US Government to be okay with that. Imagine the taxes on that...

I really understand the solution isn't ideal... but if PayPal doesn't help us out, our hands are somewhat tied.

fwiw, you wouldn't be audited, you'd just have to report $60K of income and subsequent expenses on your tax return. (still a pain in the ass)

The audit comes when you get the PayPal tax form and neglect to put that number on your tax return.

Couldn't Lin ask Kin or LZ for help? They're all friends with each other and live in Korea, don't they? I know Kin also packaged both LZ and Lin's boards in the past and will be again with LZ's latest group buy.

Lin should really chat with Kin and LZ about PayPal. Many people want to join, but without the safety net of PayPal, they may be hesitant.

Edit: tldr; Kin and LZ have experience with PayPal/Group Buy money, so maybe they can help Lin.

Im really dissapointed how this GB is going.

First, payment method wasn't announced til just recently. It is really crucial to announce the payment method especially when we are talking about $600 worth of goods. Discussion could have been made and inquiry to paypal could have been done earlier which wouldn't put us in a tight spot.

You still don't understand the problem. If PayPal holds his money ($20-30k), how is he supposed to put the order in? Use $20-30k of his own money? I'm not trying to be rude, but we don't know of another option. Do you have another option? I'm all ears. 

Believe me, I would love to use PayPal. It's simple and easy, except for the person receiving the money. As of right now, it's not possible.

Im sorry, but as I understand, selling custom keyboards is kind of a business right ($600 each). Unless lin doesnt earn or generate income from this group buy, he should spend his own money for some investment. That would seem more fair for participants who would spend this amount of money to earn his trust as a seller/custom keyboard maker.

I wouldn't join a sketchy groupbuy with moneygram even for a 20 dollar pack of springs,

COMPARED TO SIX HUNDRED DOLLARS? NO BUYER PROTECTION? OH MY ****ING GOD.
Thanks ,one people left and I have higher chance to win  :p :p

And lastly for people who are saying this is okay and all... it is not OKAY.

Its like promoting risk of being scammed.

Well i dont know lin personally, so i cant tell if he's trustworthy or not. But lets assume he is really that honest, but something very terrible happened to him or changed his current situation, WHO WOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY?

Since  _BMW_M3_ is only incharge of posting here in GH and doesn't even have any say to what happens to the money after we send it, who can take responsibility if lin is unable to fulfill his part of the deal?

Do we just forget about the $600 and get on with our lives? lesson learned? damn.

But are you sure if he has enough money ready to place the order to factory if Paypal holds the GB money ? Anyone here has $20-30k ready to spend ? And if it leads a long delay,will you guys not cry about that ?
Paypal's customer service is just terrible for Asian.
But this is not the final decision.We should wait until Lyn contact with Paypal.

I think this stems from the fact that this conversation has never happened. GBs happen all the time. This is the first we're hearing about issues with PayPal for people in Asia. I do agree that maybe they should reach out to LZ and figure out how he makes it happen.

I know that paypal service is terrible for asians as im an asian myself. I also know for a fact that spending that large amount of money for investment is not really an option for everyone. But other korean gbs are happening and i haven't heard of any issues regarding payment via paypal.

So why was this issue kept from us in the first place? I thought they already had everything set and ready for PP payment especially when we are about to pay a premium price.

Edit: $30

Hooooweee, save $30 on a $600+ purchase just to remove any buyer protections that you might have had to begin with(I don't see much with MoneyGram). I dunno about you guys, but if I was going to throw this much money at a hunk of aluminum to be shipped to me from around the world($83 shipping, wtf) then I would want every available buyer protection. Anything otherwise is asking for trouble. I'm not saying that this is a scam, I'm just saying that if anything at all happens such the money up and disappears, you are sol and there's nothing you can do about it.

As a seller myself, I am prepared to deal with PayPal fees for the products I sell and the group buys I run because I know that not only will I myself be protected by it, but it gives the people that I deal with just about the most protection on their purchases that they can get. To try and do otherwise is just irresponsible. I know that situations concerning PayPal use might not be ideal everywhere, but like was mentioned elsewhere in the thread, if there's all these issues with using a reputable service like PayPal abroad, why exactly haven't we heard of it being an issue? And if there's people that have had a good experience with PayPal in the past AND are nearby or available to the OP, why is that option not being considered?

I'm not trying to be rude, I'm just saying that people need to take the right precautions in situations where there's a lot of money being thrown around and even the slightest chance of problems happening. This is especially apparent with some of the history of "problem" group buys that the mechanical keyboards community has.

Couldn't Lin ask Kin or LZ for help? They're all friends with each other and live in Korea, don't they? I know Kin also packaged both LZ and Lin's boards in the past and will be again with LZ's latest group buy.

Lin should really chat with Kin and LZ about PayPal. Many people want to join, but without the safety net of PayPal, they may be hesitant.

Edit: tldr; Kin and LZ have experience with PayPal/Group Buy money, so maybe they can help Lin.
Both Kin and LZ have problem with PayPal.
Btw, I <3 you Shin

Hooooweee, save $30 on a $600+ purchase just to remove any buyer protections that you might have had to begin with(I don't see much with MoneyGram). I dunno about you guys, but if I was going to throw this much money at a hunk of aluminum to be shipped to me from around the world($83 shipping, wtf) then I would want every available buyer protection. Anything otherwise is asking for trouble. I'm not saying that this is a scam, I'm just saying that if anything at all happens such the money up and disappears, you are sol and there's nothing you can do about it.

Moneygram has absolutely no protection against it. Their website itself says under multiple scenarios that you will not be able to get your money back https://www.moneygram.com/wps/portal/moneygramonline/home/CustomerService/ConsumerProtection/ (https://www.moneygram.com/wps/portal/moneygramonline/home/CustomerService/ConsumerProtection/)

So I'm glad there's now a Paypal option

We've found a solution in Shin. Shin is able to collect payments via PayPal and transfer them to Lin. PayPal will now be an option for payment. Shin and I will do the drawing on Saturday and post the results. After that, forms will be sent to the winners.

papa bless

Will you be streaming the drawing or no?

No problem, looking forward to know who gets the luck of the draw to burn a hole in the wallet.


Thank you for sorting out the payment fiasco. Goes without saying everyone appreciates it.

Can confirm paypal doesn't treat kin very well as I bought a board from him a couple months ago and he explained how paypal severely limited his account at the time even though he was doing nothing wrong.  He packaged my order and had my tracking available before I paid my invoice too and has helpful any time I had a problem with anything so his service was great and well documented if paypal needed it.  It does seem that paypal gives Asians quite a hard time.

Super excited for this, these are the definitely my favorite boards of all time! I'll say it again since it got lost among the payment chaos, but you should keep a waiting list around from the initial drawing, so that if people drop out and such, you just go fairly down the list of the initial drawing.

Thank you so much for this enormous amount of attention and love on my keyboard.
I can't say my keyboard is the best, but I'll make a good product.
Due to the nature of the aluminium keyboard, there may be some slight scrachs or be stebbed , color differences.However, I will try not to make such product as much as possible.

 thanks.

Really surprised at the odds, better than 1:2 for EM7, only just over that for the Dolphin.

Glad to see PayPal worked out, it sucks that there aren't better options for buyer protection :(


Thank you M3 for running this, do you have any info on the plate layouts?

After the drawing, we will have a list of people that won and that did not win. If a winner drops, we will pick a name from a hat (so to speak) from that list of people that did not win.

Shin and I happen to be busy and work. ;) It's hard for me to talk with him on weekdays due to time difference.

I think you are misunderstanding romevi and my intentions, I don't think he is complaining about winning both boards, and I simply told him that he, halv and yuktsi were not the only ones who won two boards,  nothing else.

No one is craping on this thread, so stop telling me to "start my own gb" and accuse people of beeing disrespectful.

I'm a 100% sure that everyone who joined are seriously happy they got a chance to acquire one of these boards

No smt and diodes means you'll have to solder all those small bits yourself

Since it's a.87, the NerD TKL PCB and tx87 PCB should be compatible

How in the hell do you have a $600 board (factoring in shipping) with 50 boards and not include SMT work or diodes?  Those are marginal costs that every build in this price range includes.

I feel like this whole thing is amateur hour.

I'm not experienced with this sort of thing, but $10 seems all right, and I believe the TX87 pcb has a good reputation.  So to summarize the differences the A87u is Ps2avGB firmware with no smt, and no diodes for $30, and the TX87 pcb is Jigon firmware with components soldered for $40?

Is one firmware better than the other?  I only have experience with Duck o2d firmware.

edit.  Also does the Dolphin have any provision for brass or steel weights?

I think 50pcbs is a little too little to go for smt? Don't expect too much for a 550$ custom kit at such low quantity. Plus custom kits don't usually pre soldered with components.

Seriously.

A87u uses ps2avrgb4u. It works with bootmapper which is also available Mac OS. While JigOn is only available in Windows.
If you don't mind the shipping cost. I can hand solders the components foc for a few of you.

Adding 10$ more and u guys got SMT

BTW , this Dolphin need a very hard machining process because of the curves , that's more curves than Dolphin v2 as well ( Dolphin v2 retail price is 450$ without PCB ) . Linn also change to a better material so price is higher . I don't think  Diodes and SMD would be a serious thing. That's not cost much when you guys can spend around 600$ for 1 board  :thumb: .

TX87 is designed by Leeku and produced/QC'ed by Kin25. It doesn't get any better than this.

I might still go for the Winkeyless.kr PCB for the Zen experience of soldering the diodes myself. Find your inner center, close your eyes ... the diodes will solder themselves and cleanse your soul.

I don't think you can sell off spots. If you can't do it, then they'll cancel your spot and RNG it to the next person.

Just tell the GB runners to drop you, they'll raffle off another person.

Sorry for my misunderstanding but we don't allow selling slot of this gb , if you guys can not afford , we just simply take the slot back and then re-draw . But yeah , we can trade :thumb:
Again so sorry for this confusing

Any update on SMT option for EM7 PCB?

Adding 10$ more and u guys got SMT

BTW , this Dolphin need a very hard machining process because of the curves , that's more curves than Dolphin v2 as well ( Dolphin v2 retail price is 450$ without PCB ) . Linn also change to a better material so price is higher . I don't think  Diodes and SMD would be a serious thing. That's not cost much when you guys can spend around 600$ for 1 board  :thumb: .

4-6 weeks was unfortunately our initial (very hopeful) timeline. The realistic timeline after talking with factory, acquiring pcbs, etc. (which is included in the forms that will be sent to winners HOPEFULLY tonight if not tomorrow) estimates ~14-16 weeks for production and ~2 weeks to ship.

It looks like order forms are being sent out as I have received mine.  There seems to be a surprise color added.  I wasn't expecting this.

(http://i.imgur.com/hPCeMED.png) (http://imgur.com/hPCeMED)

It seems like a lot of people in the community get different top, and bottom case colors.  Originally, I was thinking about silver top, and silver bottom.  Is there a risk of color mismatch?  Part of me also wants to have a completely red dolphin.  How long do we have to decide on our order forms?   I'm probably spend days researching color combos.

I also noticed that there is no option for a steel plate.  Was Lyn's design philosophy for Dolphin only ever intended for tactile switches?

Yes, a surprise Red color eh? :) You have up until the payment date (03/17) to decide the color. After that date, options are locked in.

I think im going to go with a gray top, silver bottom, and red plate like in this pic. I plan on putting GMK Muted on this board when ever it comes. I'd image it will look exactly like this lol. Although the red option did derail me a bit.

I've been googling color combinations all morning.  I already have a LZ CLS on order that is all grey so I thought I would do something for the Dolphin.

These are some combinations that I'm thinking of.  I'm also going to choose Winkey.
+Silver/Silver hopefully with a silver tag.  Maybe a red enamel fill on the lettering?  Not sure how feasible that would be.
+Red/Red with a gold tag, and white coloring on the lettering.
+Red top/Silver Base/Silver plate

I think it would be pretty neutral. I was thinking about doing a red bottom and silver top with GMK Burgundy as well. I dont know how well it would work if I choose to put any of my other keysets on it though.

edit: Ya those additional pics are a little odd. That keyset doesnt look good with that combo. Perhaps its the red plate. Maybe I should just go with a silver plate instead haha.

Your shipping will be combined, although I imagine it will be more expensive given the extra weight/size.

I'm working on color answers right now guys, please bear with me. If you guys want a different color tag for your Dolphin or EM7, please make a note in the comment section. If it is possible, we will honor those requests.

Please remember to save your edit URL if you would like to change your order. Thank you!

EDIT: Also, we ask that you please make sure your mind is made up before submitting the form. Changing your order results in a ton of manual work (and manual work means possibilities to screw things up). It makes your life and our lives easier if you wait a bit to make sure you're positive about your order. As always, if you have any edits you need made, please pm me.

The grey color will be close to the lighter color. If you want to select a tag color, please include it in the additional comments section.

I ended up going with a dark grey top and black bottom. The black bottom objectively matches better with other colors. With silver you're kinda just stuck with beige.

I've submitted for Champagne Gold Top and Gray Bottom for now.
I thought about going with Black Bottom but that might be too contrasting.

And I've put in for extra PCB and extra plate as well lol

The total now is more expensive than the LZ-CLS I've bought extra PCB and plate with. LOL.... Bye $700

I think I read someone's experience with cerakoting keyboards on this forum.  It didn't end up well, and ended up with the Cerakote professional refusing to do keyboards anymore. I don't remember what the issue was.

My local finishing shop does good work with cerakoting industrial T6 aluminium enclosures for my job, but I guess the worrying point is getting the inside coated well with limited hook marks..

Looking at the images however, I am doubting whether the pcb would be supported... looks like the plate is what holds everything together?

Yeah, you'll probably have to get a plate made. Shouldn't be too hard though, considering how simple the design is for the plate.

You need the plate as the PCB floats. The top is optional, but the case will look odd without it.

Someone already mentioned this is NOT possible by omitting the plate. Would also be a shame to build this beauty with no plate ;)

You can however saw into the plate a little and mod it for split left shift. I did that for the TX1800 and it works great. You will have all the keys you need for ISO but with an ANSI enter cluster. I can live with that.

It looks quite similar to the ceramic white
I like the color, but it may be a little difficult to find a paired cap sets.

Any update on whether the engraving on the Dolphin will be colored red or not?
The engraving is not colored.

This is great. I hope the tags can be silver on non champagne gold boards.

I wonder if people are just buying EM7s for a special collection and intend to sell them at a high price later.
I personally never used EM7 so I'm not sure if I'll like the layout or not.

I also do not know how good/bad EM7 will be with noise and vibration from keypresses. I know mass-made Leopold FC660M is built solid and also has a sound-deadening material inside, too.  In other words, does EM7 require additional work with sound-deadening material inside the PCB, etc to prevent it from sounding hollow with key press?

I'd like to see more videos of EM7 but I can't even find any. lol

I don't think most people would do that whether in this group buy or others.  I'm assuming the average price of one of these kits are $600-700.  People seem reluctant to purchase high priced kits, and I think there are better ways to spend money than to tie up your money for 12-16 weeks plus unforeseen circumstances to make maybe $100 of profit.

I'm sure noise and vibration is going to dictated by your switch, and parts selection.

Like CMYK said, there are better and safer ways to make a couple bucks

Most if not all metal cased keyboards have a slight ping on the bottom out. So you'll most likely have to put some foam in.

I put sound dampening foam in all my boards regardless of their sound properties. It's one of he easiest "mods" you can do that can change the experience of the board

By the way, thanks for offering SMT with the EM7 PCBs.  :thumb:

Has an ALPS PCB ever been made for the EM7? The base ALPS kit from the currently running DSA Light Cycle GB actually supports the EM7. The extra 1.5u \| has to be used on the bottom row to account for the lack of a third 1.5u keycap but otherwise the compatibility set is not needed.

Yeah, the layout seems like it would be a bit difficult to adjust to. Especially with the position of the modifiers. It's still looks amazing though.

Nah, I'd say they feel in between stock cherry mx black and stock gat black. The housing for cherry switches are kinda scratchy and don't create the same feeling as vintage blacks

Either vintage mx blacks w/ gateron yellow springs or vintage black stems with zealio housings and gat yellow springs

I was thinking about nixies, but I'm broke enough already

I would love to try genuine Vintage Blacks, but buying them from other people seem to lead to varied batches. :(

I heard Gateron stems in cherry housings feel the same as vintage Blacks. Is this true?

PM him for availability

Thank you!

Paid!  My wallet is hemorrhaging, 2017 might be the best year for customs, but it may be the worst year for the wallet.

I'm planning on buying sampler packs of many different switches to see how I like them.  I'm going to try Invr stems in Zeal housings, Zeal stems in Invyr housings.  I also want to try jailhouse vintage blues and see if they are compatible with Zeal or Invyr housings.

I understand some have not received invoices. Shin is doing his best to get invoices out asap. Payment will be extended until sometime next week. Remaining Dolphin and EM7 spots will also be given at fcfs basis. Please do not post until I announce the date and time they will become available. Thanks for all your patience!

Reminder emails have been sent out to those with outstanding invoices. If the invoice is not paid (or we're not contacted) by Wednesday, March 22nd, your spot will be forfeited. I will then announce the remaining spots as FCFS tbd. (Thursday or Friday). I would like to have everything paid for by next Monday.

Probably gonna be safe and go zealios.  My last build I bought polycarbonate stickers from tx-kin, sip sockets, lube, 65g sprit gold springs, and 100 cherry clears.  All that work and I still seem to favor my zealios boards.

Has anyone tried the new Cherry switches with the updated slider? They are so smooth, smoother than Gateron. I haven't gotten my hands on vintage Blacks, but I can imagine they're like the new stems.

I was thinking about Zealios too, but I'm iffy on them. I didn't like the noise the housing made on my last project, but I'll be giving them a try again in the future.

It makes sense that the new blacks are smoother. It uses the same design as the silent version. I have a silent red on my tester and was shocked to discover it was as smooth as vintage blacks. The new blacks look promising. Might have to build mine with some of these if I can find them. (Managed to get back in! )  :D

Update:

Machining scheduled to be finished 5/27.

Anodizing should be completed 6/15.

Super.  Always nice to be kept up to date.

Is there any chance of a video of the machining, please?

Out of curiosity, any chance you could convince Lin to gift us a Dyesub Dolphin keycap per board? ;)

Any chance he'll be running his dye sub PBT group buys again? His stuff looked just like OG Cherry stuff! Scoops and all!

Sorry, I didn't see this!

If you look at the first page, there's an imgur link that shows a few color samples. One of the boards has a Dolphin keycap and Whale keycap.

I think it would be such an awesome addition, just as a novelty.

Hey guys, quick update:

The GSheet I linked (found here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Is4xiHPJ-WfkKh1ONVtm8Thl021AdN7prRtfXoXSe9Q/edit#gid=0) was only created for a quick reference for Lin. I haven't finished adding pcb, extra plate, tags, etc. I will hopefully get those finished tonight. I will post an update so you all can reference your final orders. I got a little too busy yesterday to finish up the sheet. I will ask Lin to wait a few days so everyone can verify their orders look okay and I will give him the go ahead to start anodizing those 60 boards. Thanks everyone! As always, PM me if you have any questions/concerns or if something doesn't look right with your order. (I'm human! I make mistakes!)

That's a relief! I was worried there for a second since I didn't see my second order/extras.

Still super conflicted on case colors. I made a quick count of all the dolphin combinations.

Combinations I'm on the fence with:
Silver/Silver
Gray/Black
Black/Black

I want an all black collection of boards, but gray/silver is just overall appealing  :-\

I would like it also as me and another member were talking about getting brass plates made.

I seen Lin did a Dolphin keypad buy. _BMW_M3_ and nguyenkimtam, is there any chance you guys could talk him into doing a buy for us?  :D

I absolutely want/need a matching numpad.

Hi friends! Quick update for you all:

Dolphins are nearly through anodizing. In the next couple of weeks, I will provide information on shipping! The time is nearing!

Regarding the ask for the plate file, Lynn said it's a no go. Sorry guys! :(

Can two piggy back? Serious question though, brass plates are something I've never used. Any benefits? I decided too late that I needed an extra plate and PCB so I need to try to source them after the fact.

These will be shipped via EMS from Korea. They're not shipped directly from the factory as they'll be checked for quality. About 60 Dolphin sets have finished anodizing, they will begin QA soon. :) Stay tuned!

I believe we're looking at estimated 7/17 for all keyboards to be completed! So I'd say 1-2 weeks after that we'll begin shipping! :)



*MAJOR EDIT*: As many of the members here didn't like the "Geekhack Edition" text at the top, Lynn took your feedback and actually went ahead and changed it to Limited Edition. So yes, you'll all be receiving LIMITED EDITION LX3 boards. I feel like Oprah. You get a Limited Edition, you get a Limited Edition!

Any pictures of the underside of the keyboards (Dolphin and EM7)?
There was one picture of the raw Dolphin prototype you posted some time ago which did not show any engravings on the underside. I wonder if it stayed the same.

While you guys wait, here's a useless em7 pro tip:

Prepare a 1.4cm x 4.2cm "dust cover" to place inside the logo socket. I just used scotch tape to secure the acrylic.
I used a semi-transparent black acrylic. It adds 150 wpm yo.

It would be rad if we could get a SVG/DXF file for the logo.
I'd like to 3d print an insert for that logo - probably out of a clear co-polymer.

can a wristrest of 87 kb can fit EM7?

The EM7 is shorter than the Dolphin, so your wristrest might stick a little bit out: http://i.imgur.com/Fpe99m6.jpg

Wut? They're the exact same exterior dimensions. The length difference in that pic is an illusion due to the angled bottom.

Overall length is the same as a regular 87 tenkeyless. It's just the wavy side curves that stick out a little bit.

FYI friends, I believe the keebs are in Lynn's hands. Last I heard (3 days ago) he was waiting on the SMT PCBs. Besides that, I think we're good to go! I'm waiting for 3 addresses from people that did not include them in the form. I've sent them emails.

I believe we will have to do somewhat of a staggered shipment as PayPal will only release his money in increments of $10k once x number of people (not sure on exact number) receive their package. I'll keep you up to date with the latest info. I can't believe we're almost there!

I talked to Lynn a few weeks ago and it looks like we're ready to begin shipping next week! PayPal is being a PITA regarding releasing money. They've told us that they will release money in $10k increments as we ship. As such, I belive Lynn is doing a "staggered" ship. Basically, once PayPal releases $10k, he'll ship $10k worth of boards. I believe he's starting with Korea/Asia so we can get these rolling out quicker.

Don't quote me on this EXACTLY as I think he's still ironing out the details. I believe this is pretty close to what's happening. XD SHIPPING TIMEEEEEEE.

Okay guys, I have some good news and some bad...

The good news is that as you can see, some of the Korean GH members and some of the Koreans that are building boards for GH members have received their kbds. (Someone above posted a pic of a Dolphin! So pumped to see that!)

The bad news is that some of our PCBs did not pass QC. It's bad news because it means we have to wait a little longer, but I am glad we're not shipping out bad PCBs. (Trust me, I'm at wits end with some of the garbage pcbs I've received...) Lynn is now waiting on a new batch of PCBs and then we're good to go. The August (at latest September) timeframe is looking accurate.

As always I'll update everyone ASAP when Lynn receives the new PCBs. Please PM nguyenkimtam or myself with any questions.

Regarding the pcb , Linn is working on that. That's not easy and fast to fix and make a pcb. Furthermore Linn is very busy with his personal life issues and his work problems so we hope you guys can understand and sympathize for us. We are trying to make a perfect keyboards for Geekhack-ers and don't worry , this will be completed soon

Quick question.  For those of us who paid extra for leeku pcbs does the pcb problem affect us?

I'm confused.

Is this only effecting EM7 PCB's, or all PCB's?

SMT PCB's, or non-SMT?

Could the problem briefly be explained? We're approaching the 6 month point, we haven't seen much and there are Korean members who have already gotten something. Can we alter orders to ship without the PCB so that we can buy something else?

As Linn said that is something wrong about the circuit. But yeah , he is also not good in English so we can not talke more about it.
Regarding Korean Members , there are some people not yet posted on kbdlabs , so that's hard to say that not much Korean members received .
The reason of this delay because LInn want to make a perfect matching PCB with his board so it's hard to buy something else.
Shipping without a pcb will very hard for Linn .
Firstly , The shipping fees will have extra
Secondly , Linn will need to sort 2 times for shipping , with a condition that he is very busy with his personal life ( moving place , work , health .etc... ).
I hope you guys understand for us. Because this is the first time we and LInn organize the international group buy with a huge quantity.

So that's much appreciated. And i believe that will deserve with very good keyboards .

For anymore information , just inbox me. and i will support you guys as soon as i possible

Again thank you for your support this group buy

Alright so I spoke to Tam on Slack. I feel like there are a few things that should be spoken about with everyone in the buy, and not just me or whoever was there. A picture of a few boards will not ease everyone's mind.

Apparently they scrapped the original PCB due to it not fitting in the new case. I get it, it happens. But this wasn't communicated to us.

That's the reason there's a delay right now.

I wanted someone from the GB to speak up about this, mainly because I'm participating in this buy. I want information like that to come from someone running it. Why were we not informed of such a huge change? I for one went out and found a plate from another participant. What do I do now about getting another PCB? What exactly is this timeline going to be now? Can we be reinvoiced so that we can keep our buyer protection?

I just don't feel as though a pic makes me feel better. To make it worse some of the pics that we've seen have been from people that already have their boards. I think a little more communication would ease my mind, and the mind of a few other people.

Quick edit. Tam in no way shape or form is this directed at you. I appreciate getting any news at all from you this morning. I understand your role in this and we appreciate it.

Thanks Arson. 

I thought there was only one make of TX87 PCBs, and was a pretty standard size.  How could it not fit?

I wish I knew. I guess its why I've been asking for an explanation as to all this. I get it, **** really does happen. But mention it to us :/ We've all been patient.

First of all , i would like to say that the biggest barrier is that language , Linn is not so good in English so that's sometime we can not communicate or misunderstanding. But yeah if still tx87 pcb , this also make for Dolphin ( mean Tx87 Dolphin version ) not the normal one. That's the same with Dolphin v2 ( you guys can check the attachment file , L3 = Linn ).
We are really sorry when not informed about the pcb , but actually i just knew about it when Linn said delay. And yeah , of course , we believe that good for this group buy for changing about this. There are not only about the fitting of the case and pcb , but also some problem in relationship between Linn , Kin25 (tx maker ) and Leeku ( designer ) , if i not misunderstanding with Linn , so he stop using the tx pcb.
The timeline now should delay to October for the lastest but we are planning shipping in September , but i should say October for sure in everything.
Regarding the reinvoiced, i have tested with a friend who's also join this group and I realize that really hard for send a new invoice and refund the old one. Because when I receive the money , paypal will hold the rolling reserve money , and just release a little bit one, and i can not refund this amount to you guys unless i use my own money. In case i refund first then reinvoice again , i checked and paypal don't allow me use the money they hold for this groupbuy ( cause the released money i already withdraw and send it to Linn), so if i refund , i also need to use my own money to add to paypal balance ( that's  will cost a lot fees because paypal in Vietnam not allow to transfer money directly from Bank , must use visa card).  So i have one option that , i will reinvoice with value 1$ and note everything about the extend invoice , the total value. Of course , i will refund 1$ after that. But yeah , i much appreciated if anyone believe in me and Linn , so we don't need to reinvoice , but that's your right about it. Just a few truths that me and Linn are already sold something ( Linn sold his car ) to pay the factory first for you guys ( paypal holding too much money ). I got no advantage in this group buy so i hope everyone can understand for my hard.
Hope this comment will clarify .

Yikes, just so I understand here.

We will not be able to get a new invoice from you, pay it, then get refunded the old invoice? Correct?

I'm just a bit concerned since my buyer protection ends next month. :(

I might do that but i need to wait Paypal release the money in old invoice. Then i will refund that. But yeah , that's might complicated for us , because now when i received any money , paypal will hold in rolling reserve , so that i need to wait 6 more month to release that new money.
So i recommended that i will send 1$ invoice and note everything in that , i believe that will work if you guys want dispute ( of course in case , we scam you guys )

The only issue is that PayPal doesn't work like that. They won't go off of what you wrote in a note.

So if you invoice for a dollar and someone disputes, they'll only get their dollar refunded, not the amount from an expired transaction.

Once the 6 months are up, that specific transaction is out of Paypal's hands and there's no more protection. :(

They will care if that necessary sir , i was met this case . Just contact paypal , even that case close , they will deal more. You can ask them for sure about it.
Btw , We need trust in here . But  yeah , you guys have a right about it . But i hope everyone here understand our hard , and waiting for 1,2 more months and we finished. We are already paid full for the factory
P/s : i already asked Paypal via email about this , hope can get the response soon from them

What's the difference between the tx87 PCB and the dolphin PCB? Smaller size?

It's a real bummer that this uses a custom PCB. Using a common pcb such as tx87 was a big reason for buying this keyboard.

I actually don't know about the difference between 2 of that because i still not receive mine.

As i know , Linn will make a huge quantity PCB so we don't worry about the replace. But i believe ( not sure , just a personal guess) that not so much different in size between 2 pcbs , just not perfect matching if use tx87 pcb

I will update when i get more information. Many thanks

What about the EM.7 pcbs? Those are fine? If so does that mean EM.7 ship before Dolphin?

Have the EM7 PCBs also been changed to a new design? If so, will they be compatible with the previous "V2"-bottom EM7 boards?

Hi. Everyone,

First of all, I can't english well. But I think that you can understand below contents well...hope...hope...hope...

Today I personally contacted with Lyn because of something else issue.(other issue from away this gb)
During this time, I told the Geekhack Dolphin GB with Lyn about many replys.
According to Lyn's request, I can write about the following information.
I didn't participate in the GH dolphin GB, and I can't answer any more.
Just it is written without filtering and just I delivers information from him.
If you have some questions, please contact to moderator of this GB.

Basically, Lyn is currently having a very difficult and busy time due to various personal and health issues.
Nevertheless he have been doing his best to successfully complete this GB.

1. Current progress
   The housing has already been completed as seen in the photo, and the PCB is as follows
   All problems have been resolved, and production and testing are in progress.
   - 87 PCB: Finished production and basic test completed, final test is in progress before shipment from Lyn.
   - EM7 PCB: Production in progress (Drilling hole on PCB)

2. Problems
   Paypal issue was done and this was already to inform from nguyenkimtam.
   Nguyenkimtam's Paypal account was held.
   Due to this Paypal Issue, about 2 month ago Lyn proposed a full refund to participants and drop the GB,
   but finally it was decided to continue this GB.
   As a result, currently Lyn have been received only $10000 from nguyenkimtam and it is very small coverage cost.
   It is just covering only Dolphin 17~18 units.
   So It is expected to proceed as follows at present

   Send 10 units ==> Receive ==> Particapant's confirm(Paypal) ==> Transfer of released paypal money to Lyn.
   ==> 10 units shipped again .......

   So you can easily imagine the full shipment duration.
   It is expected that it will take a long time until the entire dispatch.

3. PCB Compatibility
   The internal layout of the Dolphin V2, which was progressed in Korea, and the GH dolphin, is the same.
   So there is PCB compatibility between the two versions. (87 and EM7 all)

I hope that this information is helpful to understand the progress and all issue wil be cleared.

 Cheers

If I'm refunded my PayPal amount I would money gram to speed up my order. At this point it should be something some of us consider to speed things up. We're going to lose PayPal protection anyway so might as well make life easier for everyone if it helps Lyn. We're actually helping ourselves too.

I don't see any different between you use money gram or lose paypal protection cause as i know money gram also don't have it. Btw , if you want i will refund for you with all amount , and i will accept the lost of paypal fees cause my paypal now is limited now. We need trust your trust

No I meant wouldn't this be easier if we just sent the money directly to Lyn via MoneyGram? What I'm saying is that I trust Lyn, and to help him get his money and push some of our orders through we should consider freeing up Paypal money and sending through an outlet that can't hold funds from you guys :D

The problem of Paypal , me and Lynn almost done with it. Lynn sold his car and i sold some of my stuffs to help him paid the factory cost. And Lynn paid and received all boards frm factory so that's no reason if you use Moneygram can speed anything up. Again , i confirm that Linn always try his best to ship all of stuffs to you guys, the problem now only the PCB and might be a little bit in his personal life and his health issues ( he is quite busy now) , not paypal or money anymore

So because of the size of the order PP locked up the funds and Lynn and you had to sell your stuff to fund production of the keyboards?
That's insane guys.  I'm surprised you didn't just fold the GB.

so has bmw given up on running this buy completely?  Also would like an update to where we are on the status, saw a em7 from kr buy with lynn pcb.  I am assuming given the shipping order Dolphin --> EM7, now that some of the KR EM7s have gone out, can we assume GH Dolphins are starting to ship?

Disregard this ^

I paid for the leeku pcb on my order, so given that Lynn is remaking pcbs, what is happening with my original order?  So I paid extra for leeku pcb for no reason?

so has bmw given up on running this buy completely?  Also would like an update to where we are on the status, saw a em7 from kr buy with lynn pcb.  I am assuming given the shipping order Dolphin --> EM7, now that some of the KR EM7s have gone out, can we assume GH Dolphins are starting to ship?

Disregard this ^

I paid for the leeku pcb on my order, so given that Lynn is remaking pcbs, what is happening with my original order?  So I paid extra for leeku pcb for no reason?

Bmw is busy these days so i cover for him. Actually Em7 and Dolphin on Kr gb use the different one with geekhack one ( or just a little amount of pcbs work well in the first pcb batch )  ,  there was a long time when they received them.

Linn shipped for Korean first because the payment process of them is faster than us, easier in shipping handle and small quantities.
Regarding status , we can say that producting new PCBs , and i hope you can patient with us. Linn is trying his best even he got many many problems with their jobs , personal life and his health as well.

Regarding leeku pcb , you also get the new extra pcb instead of extra leeku. I believe the cost is higher but Linn was cover it for us.

This is the first international groupbuy of Linn so there might be have some troubles. I hope you can understand.

We much appreciated about it

Well actually I'm not understand clearly what he said but don't worry , pcbs are in production. He already lost money because of pcbs issues.
I'm really appreciated all you guys about the patient with us. First international gb with huge quantities always challenged.

Quick glance says the only issue left is getting a working PCB. Once those are done, all boards will be shipped.

This, of course, based on my ****ty Korean, combined with google translate.

Thank you Ken.

Please understand that we are in different language, i can not understand Korean and Linn is not good at English so there might be misunderstanding in some points. But we are have the same point is that bring the best quality keyboards to you guys. Linn have a reason to stop  using leeku pcb and make a new one. If you believe in us , just respect it. We already have many many challenges. Linn and me also lost money and time with this groupbuy ( even i just the money gathered ). we really need your support and believe more than trying to make everything complicated.

I much appreciated some always understand and support us.

Lz, Duck and even TGR also have some groupbuy taken long like this.

As we said this is the first time Linn make an international groupbuy so we have a lot of issues.

At the first time Linn planned to cancel this group buy but i persuade and trying to help Geekhack guys and Linn to make this.

So that’s now we appreciated about your patient and support as well.
Linn is trying to make it as soon as possible.
We are still supportting and replying you guys, with some delay groupbuy , they don’t. So please understand for our hard.
I’m a collector of this hobby so I understand very well you guys feeling when waiting. Just hope you can understand and help us to finish this groupbuy. I’m very sure Linn won’t let us disappointed. His products will very nice
Again , many thanks for everyone support us
Have a nice weekend

That’s our plan to shipping by thr end of this year because the factory expect with Linn that they will complete the pcb before new year. However , i just talk with Linn that they will delay in the few days and Linn’s child was born so he will be super busy. That is out of our expect. ( Linn will ship to geekhack order same time as korean order , just prefer the Asian order in the first batch of shipping)

I’m also a joiner with this groupbuy and i have some friends in this so personally, i also want it soon but i can understand how it difficult when Linn or anyone run a huge quantites groupbuy.
I hope you guys can patient because we are in the last part , almost manufactured , just about the personal issues from maker and I respect about it.
I much appreciated

As delay from the factory , as well as the family issues of Linn ( he just had a first baby,...). So the shipping was delayed. Therefore , there are no exactly time for shipping , but i would make a deadline that we will arrange for first shipping before April ( which mean around March , because there are nearly Lunar New Year ). If we can not reach the time , i MAYBE  open a refund option for everyone.

So let me get this straight? He has a baby, you show a few pictures and now everyone involved in the buy is just supposed to be happy for him?

The one who started the thread isn't active anymore. Lynn communicates through Tam. Complete lack of communication and honesty all around in this buy.

Maybe an explanation is deserved for those that have been waiting? Why was the PCB changed from Leekus to now Lynns own? How long was this pregnancy for there to be no planning around it? Can the boards ship without a PCB?

Thanks :D

Firstly , can i ask have you joined this groupbuy ?
He has the first baby so he have a lot of thing to do and worry , beside his work and his personal life ( his health have problem). He doesn’t make this group buy for profit , just to share his hobby so that’s he need to balance his life also , not only concentrated this one
Secondly , first time to arrange an international groupbuy with huge amount is not easy, packaging , safe shipping, payment , QC are really hard and need a lot of time. Do you think if a huge of boards ship back to Korea to fix or do something because have issues ? You can check that a lot of groupbuy are delayed.

Thirdly, Lynn not so well in English and bmw is not a senior member and not communicate as much with Linn as me so i can do it for them. Have  you see that i was hide or disappear when you guys ask or something ? Even i’m fighting with cancer for a year. I’m trying do my best so you think if that’s lack of communication , just go back to some delay old group buy and check.
There are technical and personal issues so what i should tell to you more detail? With Linn and leeku have personal issues which can not public so i must say all here ?? Linn have a reason and i respect the Maker. With shipping without pcb , that’s very hard for us , need to pack 2 times and do everything 2 times . Also the shipping fees. In addition, i’m not sure if that have a good fix with any else pcb , so if that not run ok , who is responsible for this ?

I also will give a refund option to show that we are not stole your money , just there are many issues appear in the first time we make this. We are trying my best to do everything ok.

Again , i’m here to help everyone on geekhack get a good quality product. And i’m trying my best , i understand all of complain because that’s your money. But that’s non-profit group buy so i hope you guys can understand for us.

Shipping has already been paid for? Why doesn't Lynn allow for people to choose if they want it with or without the PCB and things get shipped separately. Also can we see pictures of the boards? Sometimes its better to get news from the person running things, it has nothing to do with you. Please don't try to say that other GB runners do the same, because most of the people here don't care about what other people do. Its disheartening knowing that you think someone else's flaws should become Lynns privilege.

The pictures of board i taken and uploaded already on this thread, please check again.
With pcb Linn already order from the factory. That’s hard for Linn to manage about shipping 2 times and sorting again. As i said the main problem now is PCB and Linn personal issues.
I also will give a refund option if we can not reach the deadline. So that’s our idea for this situation.
Btw , if you didn’t join this gb so there is no reason why you try to judge us not honest or something else

As i said there are not sure that the tx87 or any pcbs else on the market can fit well with that. There are some case that pcb not well fix and you need to use a paper or something to keep it fix. So that is the problem. Also Linn are very busy right now so that’s why we delay.
Again , the deadline is march , so if we can not reach , refund option will available. And you can choose which one you want

It's because prototyping is expensive and people don't want to pay for it. Also a lot of preferences come into play for PCBs, so it can be a bit of a pain.

PCBs are super cheap to prototype, as in sub $100. Absolustely worth it considering the amount lost if something is wrong :'(

Or just standardize on a specific design like the Pok3r for 60% keyboards. 
BYO PCB would also solve a bunch of issues.

There are standards for TKL (A87/B87), I believe the PCB(s) for this buy followed them. It sounds like whoever made the PCB for this just had some dimensions wrong.

I heard it was LED issues for this one, but you're correct. This board should work with TX87 PCBs, but for some reason they decided not to use them.

yea so I've heard quite a few people using leeku pcbs for their dolphin. I know there might be some issues that could arise, but at this point i couldn't care less.  I really just want my board.  No need to ship twice, just once.  Just ship me my board and I'll handle pcb issues.  We can chalk the two "leeku" pcbs I bought to a write off... (another kind of bull**** I don't really want to get into) 

Even better I know I am not the only person that shares the sentiment, so I can get a list of everyone that wants this option in CONUS.  I can even proxy everyone's board, so Lynn doesnt need to ship more than one package.

As a general matter I think we need to separate two things:
(1) should a group-buy runner be held to the same standards of customer service and timely delivery as other types of sellers, especially considering that this is done as a hobby rather than as a business?
(2) should a group-buy runner communicate transparently and in reasonable detail regarding delays and setbacks?

The answer to (1) is NO but the answer to (2) is YES. I feel like the group-buy runners here keep citing (1) as a reason not to do (2).

Lynn can be busy and there can be delays--that is fine. But it is reasonable to ask exactly what it is his busy-ness is preventing him from doing. Is it designing a PCB? Ordering a PCB to be manufactured? Other things? What exactly remains to be done? Is it true that no after-market PCB will fit inside the Dolphin case?

Can we get an option to get the keyboard cases now and pay extra shipping when the PCBs are ready? I realize that is extra work but I think it would make people feel much better, and it is not too much to ask.

I like this idea, unless we can get pics of exactly why other pcbs don’t fit and proof we “have” to use his pcb.

First off, I don't think it needs to be separated.  This is a business and a hobby, Lynn is making money on these boards.  No its not his full time job, but there needs to be some semblance of responsibility or accountability if I am paying for a money for a service or a product  Lynn isn't making these boards out of the kind of his own heart or making these boards at cost or even near at cost.

So with these conditions, I think it is safe to expect a bare minimum amount of responsibility.  Look this buy started out with BMW.  We had concerns with him being a relatively new user and his ability to run a GB.  He and Lynn both assured us that it would not be an issue.... look where we are now.  I am glad that Tam has at least taken over in this capacity, but the concerns were completely valid from the beginning. 

What I want from this groupbuy:
- a clear timeline; I know Lynn is busy with the baby, ect.. which probably should have been planned for, but now we beyond that.  So all I am asking for is a clear timeline.      i.e. WHEN the pcbs are going to be finished manufacturing, WHEN does lynn expect to get them, WHEN does Lynn expect to ship us ours (specifically the GH ones).    I am not asking for 24/7 dedication, zero delays, he can account for personal life matters, but give me a date.
- a heads up of delays before they happen, not after.  If you are not going to meet a deadline, I expect you to realize ahead of time.  So give me a heads up prior if the expected timeline needs to be changed.  I think this is just general common courtesy
- a clear answer on these questions:  Can I use a87 pcb?  If no, what kind of issues are with the a87 that prevents me from using with the dolphin?  Can I get the board without pcbs AT ALL?

Post by: nevaenuf on Fri, 12 January 2018, 19:30:12
I'm waiting on the EM7, so I'm pretty sure that the PCB can't be sourced from somewhere else.  I'm waiting and hoping that this buy comes through.  These group buys seem to always have delays as people learn how to deal with manufacturers and other issues.  Folks getting sick, family issues, or just plain flaking out for a period of time. 

I join these group buys knowing these delays can happen because I love customizing my board and getting something that large companies just can't provide.  I love hearing about the design process and the production process INCLUDING the issues that come up.  That's all part of the story for small batch, artisan production. 

However, it can be very frustrating when the buys go dark for too long.  I mean, were trusting a community member with a LARGE chunk of cash for a very long time.  It helps to maintain trust when get information like, "Hey guys, we encountered a problem. Were thinking about this solution. We expect that the project will be delayed by X because of it".  And when things change, it would be good to know, "That solution we tried two weeks ago, it didn't work out so hot.  So, we're going to try something else."  The F77 project is a perfect example of this.  Now THAT group buy has a story.  And when I finally get my board, I'll feel like I was part of something really cool. 

Goodwill and trust can be maintained by great communication.

I understand Lynn had to sell his car to cover the PCB issue so I don't doubt his commitment to the GB at all.  If anything I'm impressed. 
The anticipation however is driving me a little crazy because I'm really looking forward to my EM.7 - Kustom Ergos don't happen every day after all.

Firstly , i'm thanks for everyone who's always support us and understand for us.
This is the first time i handle a big gb like this , and Linn as well, so the communication may not good enough to build the trust. I'm so sorry about that. Furthermore , with the lack of English from Linn , so that's hard to communicate clearly and detail for all of his idea to all you guys.
I'm actually will go to Singapore soon for my cancer treatment so now i really don't have time and good mood, and Linn as well , he has many things to worry at this time , and i will get back on around 27 January  , so i will answer all of your questions on 29 or 30 January , about timeline , shipping without pcb , fitment of pcb , etc...
I hope you guys can understand for us of this situation , also , as i said , the refund option still available when we can not reach the deadline for all of you

Sorry to hear about your sickness.  I understand that you are a person first.  I appreciate the work you guys put in to enable these buys. I've been watching the em7 long before this buy started so I really want the buy to succeed.  I don't expect you all to be able to make the same kinds of promises that companies make.  I don't expect that level of customer service because you haven't promised that.  My comments above are not meant to be disheartening.  Rather, I hoped to convey to you what gets me excited about these group buys AND what gets me nervous.  Thanks for setting up the March deadline.  That gives us a time to look forward to for results or more information. I hope your treatments go well.  Take care of yourself and talk to you later.

Hi all,
Just talked with Linn today , he said will shipping in 12 March ( we have a Lunar New Year so that's longer ).
Linn also just test with A87 again , and see there are no major problem with that. So you can use with A87 pcb.
Linn are now busy with his first child and near holidays so he can not shipping now ( with and without pcb ). But btw , as deadline plan is 12 March , if the pcb still have problems and still can not shipping at that day , i will open a request form with shipping without PCB to anyone want this
All the best

Just talked with Linn today , he said will shipping in 12 March ( we have a Lunar New Year so that's longer ).
Linn also just test with A87 again , and see there are no major problem with that. So you can use with A87 pcb.
Linn are now busy with his first child and near holidays so he can not shipping now ( with and without pcb ). But btw , as deadline plan is 12 March , if the pcb still have problems and still can not shipping at that day , i will open a request form with shipping without PCB to anyone want this
All the best


If we choose to ship without the PCB, will we be refunded for the PCBs?

What about the EM7 PCBs -- will those ship with the board?

Again, thanks for being the messenger and we appreciate the effort Tam -- shame that the original GB runner can't see this through.

I understand how time consuming PCB testing can get, especially for a new one. It's best to have everything tested before shipping. Take your time, Lynn.

Well I've already been scammed out of one korean board - I just wasn't cut out for this hobby's time frame after all.

Still looking to give up my EM7 spot so at least I can recoup some money: 1 extra pcb, red top, black bottom, silver plate, gold tag.

Well from what was said already, he should be putting up a poll shortly for people who choose to get their case shipped minus the PCB.

That still happening?

Dear all,
All PCB for Dolphin are ready for shipping , Linn also already packaged some of the first batch shipping to Asia but i asked do more with some EU and US orders ( so we will ship together all Asia , part of US and EU order together ) so the time will be longer.
As our plan , we will shipped out Dolphin in the first batch first , that's easy for Linn to control
Actually i had to go to Singapore for my cancer treatment unexpectedly so i can not handle the shipping list to Linn so i will do it , double check when i comeback from the surgery ( estimated is 27 March - 2 April ) , also with that time Linn will package for the US and EU order for the first shipping batch. I hope you can understand for my situation , but we nearly reach our goals
Regarding the next batch, that's depend on paypal so i will inform everything when people get their board without any issues in the first batch
I will be very busy and tired in the next days so probably i won't check anything on this thread , inbox or Slack so please wait until i comeback to answer some of your questions. Just hit me an inbox if you have anything to ask, i will try my best

Shin

Linn said that’s easy for him to control about packing, choosing right color , and also he is still testing with em7 pcb. But yeah i will discuss more with him about let some em7 go in the first batch after i back home .

Seems like the Korean orders had no problem being delivered, even Lynn Classic, guess that's the price you pay for not being Korean.

Glad I ended up not getting in on this.

Where did you see that?

v3 is already done and shipped, lynn classic ran and it shipped a few weeks ago

no idea what the hold up for this is at this point

all over korean/SEA/chinese forums/channels
V3 as in the version after ours?

besides v3, lynn classic, I also see the Lynn Dolphin Linger (65%) has been shipped last last month. https://i.imgur.com/R9TsvOr.jpg

So recently I'm always thinking if our orders are really suffering technical issue or something else? Did we really pay to Lynn? since the paypal address is not Lynn himself. Does Lynn really know there is a GB related to him in GH, anyone tried to contact him directly?

I was talked about a few was shipped , not meant all shipped. Please confirm this information again. With Linn i have 100% trust , and there are some kind of reasons we should consider , not just about some unclear information
Secondly , I received a lot of changing address request so i would like you guy , all of joiners , please email again your shipping information to this email so i can sort and give a final list to Linn for shipping ( even you change or not change you shipping address). Again , all boards are ready , just packaging, checking and shipping. We might included also EM7 in first batch. After i received all information, sort some of information and make a list to Linn , the first batch will be shipped.
This is an email : dolphin.em7groupbuy@gmail.com
Please included your real name , your number id of your slot ( i wrote on your paypal invoice detail, if you don't have so that doesn't need ) , dolphin or em7 , your request  , etc.... . I'm also prefer using your PAYPAL ID EMAIL to email to me so i can identify and check easily
I will have more surgeries so don’t worry if i won’t reply you. I will do it as soon as possible ( must be done in this month)

Just to follow up on Shin's post above...

I'm still here, I've just taken a more backseat position. Because Shin is the one that collected money, the group buy is currently dependent upon Shin + Lynn working together. I handled the load at the beginning of the groupbuy (work with Lynn to make this thing happen in the first place, handle forms, handle questions, etc etc.) and it has since transitioned to Shin + Lynn. After the initial work, I was somewhat phased out due to the simple fact that Shin now holds the money and the master spreadsheet with addresses, orders, etc. I'm still in contact with Shin + Lynn weekly to check how things are moving along. Shin has been kind enough to make posts on GH on our behalf as I am largely out of the keyboard scene now. (THIS DOES NOT MEAN I AM IGNORING THE GROUP BUY. I follow up with these guys every week to make sure this group buy continues moving [painfully slowly] forward.)

At this point, I can tell you that Lynn has informed us that the keyboards are ready. He's checking over everything, packaging them up and he has said that shipping will begin 4/18. (He just told me this today via our KakaoTalk group with Shin, Lynn and I.)

Please keep in mind, I have (more than everyone else) money in this group buy as well for my own personal boards. I have faith that Lynn will deliver given his past record. If all else fails, I am traveling to Korea in the fall and I swear I will ship the damn things myself. I never envisioned this gb would take so long, but it WILL be carried out. Just like everyone else here, I want my Dolphin + EM7.

Thanks for remaining relatively understandable everyone. We're almost there. (for the 300th time)

**EDIT**
As for commenting on why the hell other GBs were done in Korea while this was going on - I have no idea. Like I said, I've largely been removed from this gb + the community, so I didn't know it was going on. As both a contributor to the gb and a person participating in the gb, I'm not super happy either. It is what it is. I don't care at this point, I just want everyone to get their boards that they paid for, myself included.

This is such a cluster. So people who haven't had a change of address and therefore didn't email their address will receive their boards later? O_o

It sounds like everyone should respond to this email with their shipping address ASAP, even if it hasn't changed.

This is also so insecure since it seems like the GB runner doesn't have access to the paypal invoices. So anyone could just email a response to this, claim to be me and substitute their shipping address for mine. To avoid this I think everyone should email their shipping address quickly--then at least in the event of any attempted fraud the GB runner will at least see that there are two addresses associated with the same username so something must be wrong.

Tam mentioned to send in your address regardless of whether you changed address or not.

You’re right however that now this method is very insecure, since his brother doesn’t have the Paypal info to verify the info people are sending in.

Hopefully Lynn can crosscheck? I dunno.

Does anyone have an ability to contact Lynn and/or BMW?

I really hate to be "that guy" but the "oh I got x,y,z fatal illness" is a classic scam technique. This whole thing of "oh I have another surgery coming up, will send you a brief message between surgeries" just feels really weird and scammy to me. Now the GB runner is in a coma and some other person comes out of the woodwork who seemingly doesn't even know who the buyers are or what their addresses are. Maybe it is the language barrier, IDK. I really hope this isn't an outright scam but something just seems very suspicious about all this.

Does anyone have an ability to contact Lynn and/or BMW?

I really hate to be "that guy" but the "oh I got x,y,z fatal illness" is a classic scam technique. This whole thing of "oh I have another surgery coming up, will send you a brief message between surgeries" just feels really weird and scammy to me.

These are my exact thoughts on the buy as well

BMW is on reddit, but from his last post here he's been "out" of the keyboard game for a while....  An alternative is to find some one that speaks korean to try to contact lynn through his naver or maybe on kbdlab.  Apparently not all of the korean participant boards have been shipped out yet for some reason or another.  I am assuming we are under the priority of domestic orders.

He’s definitely not scamming, he’s been ill for quite awhile before this GB and we’ve done some high price trades that went through fine.

Contacting them now to get an update. Stay tuned, I'll edit this post. I'm doing everything I can guys.

*EDIT* I reached out to Nam(Shin's brother) + Lynn again tonight. Lynn told me he is ready to ship and he's waiting on Nam(Shin) to send him the list of addresses that have been confirmed. If you have not yet confirmed your shipping address, please PM Nam to confirm your address. Shipping will be prioritized for confirmed addresses.

I have asked Nam(Shin) to post here when he sends the list to Lynn and when shipping starts. Shipping is now 2 weeks late according to the date last set. Nam(Shin) promised to get the list to Lynn next week when he returns from Singapore. Beginning next week, I will message them every single day to get updates on shipping. Previous deadline extensions were acceptable to me because of manufacturing issues. I'm not okay with missing this last deadline - it's completely unacceptable. I will do everything in my power to get these damn things shipped.


*EDIT EDIT*
Lynn sent me these photos so everyone knows that he's prepared to ship: https://imgur.com/a/U7mcqSS (https://imgur.com/a/U7mcqSS) His home is literally crammed full of keyboards.

I also just found out about some serious personal complications that I was unaware of. Nam(Shin's brother) has promised to send Lynn the updated list when he returns from Singapore. This is a serious matter and that's all I'm comfortable with sharing. Just know that Nam, Shin's brother, is currently standing in for Shin.

I have also attached the EM7 firmware and Fave GUI program, you know, for the EM7s that no one has yet.  :blank: Lynn said the PCBs are working very well and there should be no concerns about quality.

I'll continue to do everything possible to keep this moving along. As soon as the list gets to Lynn, he should be able to start shipping like a madman. If you haven't already, please PM Nam(Shin) and confirm your shipping address. Thank you.

wondering if the tool also works for Jigon based PCB?
I used Jigon to program my EM7 from previous GB but found it cannot program two Fn keys in one layer.

I just wake up after my surgery and saw some of comments here
Firstly , with a few Dolphin v3 was delivered in Korea, yes they shipped some in Korea , and the one you guys shared reddit link is from my friend. I was talked about a few was shipped , not meant all shipped. Please confirm this information again. With Linn i have 100% trust , and there are some kind of reasons we should consider , not just about some unclear information
Secondly , I received a lot of changing address request so i would like you guy , all of joiners , please email again your shipping information to this email so i can sort and give a final list to Linn for shipping ( even you change or not change you shipping address). Again , all boards are ready , just packaging, checking and shipping. We might included also EM7 in first batch. After i received all information, sort some of information and make a list to Linn , the first batch will be shipped.
This is an email : dolphin.em7groupbuy@gmail.com
Please included your real name , your number id of your slot ( i wrote on your paypal invoice detail, if you don't have so that doesn't need ) , dolphin or em7 , your request  , etc.... . I'm also prefer using your PAYPAL ID EMAIL to email to me so i can identify and check easily
I will have more surgeries so don’t worry if i won’t reply you. I will do it as soon as possible ( must be done in this month)
Thanks all

Someone who's on a business trip. Like the business of getting these boards shipped. He opted to fly because the boards were being shipped, so there was no room on the boat.
Maybe these are freebies for raffle entrants and he was testing them out before sending.

Quick update for people here and sorry it is coming from me

Given recent events, someone contacted me via an account of tams identifying as tams brother

He has asked if I could update this thread to explain a couple of things

Firstly he said if anyone would like a refund, please use the email that was apparently posted above in this thread giving order details and pp details and he will refund you

If you would like to keep your order, please make sure to also contact the same email to give current shipping address and order details

I asked to clarify the email address and was told it’s in this thread and I’m on my phone so typed this up without going hunting, should it not be there let me know and I’ll chase it up

Regarding the pictures I was told by tams brother that he posted those rather than tam, this was done to protect the integrity of tams family business, knowledge of the extent of his illness would apparently be detrimental to that

Regardless of how people feel about the above statements, the person who contacted me seems to genuinely want to progress and finish out this gb, and for that I am grateful to him of that ends up being the case for the sake of the people in this thread

Should anyone try and receive a refund and not get anywhere with it, please contact me via dm and I’ll try and chase him up via my contact details for him and can update this post accordingly should the above statements not come to fruition

Take all of the above as you will, I would suggest that should it be true, people should be respectful to the family during this hard time, and if it isn’t but we now have a line of communication with people that can and will help the gb then that is a positive thing, if neither turn out to be the case then I guess we are in the same position we were before I was spoken to

Linn has stated he has only received partial payment for this gb thus far and is ready to ship it once the remainder of the money and the shipping list is sent to him, I have been provided a screen including linns original post stating this, with some extra clarifications from either tam and his brother, I’ll post this in a new post in one moment

Have also been asked to mention, if the payment is older than 6 months, both parties will split the PayPal fees, so that both people in the transaction share the same amount of loss, payment could be sent back as gift payment, so the pp fee would be approx 1 percent in most cases for the payment back and then half of whatever the initial payment fees were

Dudes back in VN.

Everything about this just reeks of fudge.

Timelines of surgery on emails to participants, and yet the very same day facebook timeline shows a coffee date.

And if it were really to 'save face' from asian families I highly doubt bragging spending lavishly on your gf would put everyone's heart at ease.

For someone who is going through chemo treatment, I am in awe that the time he spent in Singapore, not one day was missed out on a lavish shopping spree. Sorry, can someone correct me if I'm wrong but shouldn't chemo treatment take some time and I'm assuming you would actually feel sick.

This entire excuse given is hilarious. Anyone who believes this, I applaud you. People amaze me.

I’d like to make it clear I’m just relaying information given to me, and whilst not commenting on my feelings toward it, I think my wording makes it clear

However I would like to state given what has been said by both linn, and the person speaking to me on tams account stating to be tams brother, the timeline to find out if this is all smoke and mirrors is fairly short

There are 3 options as I see it

Firstly all is above board, its standard to pay a manufacturer a deposit before production, and the balance prior to shipment, health issues may have elongated this process slightly and a family member is stepping in to help, the Facebook stuff is weird at best but as a family member is here to help it’s largely irrelevant

Option number 2 is all the stories are bull****, but either tam or his brother have contacted me and are indeed trying to make things right just going about it a weird way

We will find out if either of the above are true I’m sure within the next week, because people will start to get refunded and linn will be contacted with a recipient list and payment etc

Should that not happen we are at option number 3 which is the option everyone is leaning towards now which is they have either been scammed from the start or circumstances changed mid buy and have led to that eventuality

Whatever the case, I think the best approach in the short term is to suspend disbelief, email as requested, and we will find out very quickly if people are getting confirmations or refunds, and can act upon that information accordingly, the new update either buys a few days and then leads right back to this mornings scandal, or it genuinely move the buy forward

Your last paragraph I agree with. However why wouldn't they be the one to be in charge of communications and everything beyond that.

I find it just really strange that they had to ask someone else to step in and be some sort of spokes person.

And to be honest, if he was truly sick or not, nobody truly knows, however given the current circumstances and what I've seen him posting and talking on his personal fb, doesn't sound like what his brother or whoever was trying to convey at all.

I think people arent too happy with the lack of communication, the medicinal excuses with contradictory photos from Tam himself, and the asking another middle man to come in and solve problems.

That's all I have to add.

To everyone in this groupbuy good luck and please be wise.

As someone that works part time for a well-known chemo clinic in Singapore, a single session could easily take more than 3 hours, notwithstanding the addition blood + saline drip required that would last for an additional 3-4 hrs.
Doubt someone would have the mental finesse or strength to go shopping after that. Suggest all to get a refund, you most likely won't get your board.

Thanks to BunnyLake and BMW for stepping in here. I am a bit conflicted as to whether to request a refund or wait for the board. At this point, it seems like the boards do exist and so one would think that if Nam/Tam are honest enough to give refunds, they also would be honest enough to complete the groupbuy for those who still want the boards. But who knows. Tough call.

Get refund, buy from Lynn, ???, not scammed.

Seems like Nguyen should be removed ASAP, get BMW doing everything if Lynn refuses to.

If Nam/Tam is a fraudster, he will neither give boards nor a refund. If honest, then might possibly give both boards to those who want and a refund to those who want. But yeah I'm requesting a refund. Assuming we do get refunded, it would be great if Linn & BMW could figure out a way to give us first crack at buying the boards directly from Linn.

Just wanted to follow up on this with a couple more details.

I have been in direct contact with Nam, Tam's brother, who is taking over for him in his absence. As Bunny mentioned, if you would like to request a refund, please contact by email and he will process your refund.

If you would still like to keep your spot, please to contact Nam and confirm your shipping address if you have not already.

To provide some additional context/insight, Nam has been extremely helpful since taking over. He is very genuine and is making sure things are done right:


Again, I am in direct contact with both Nam and Lynn. Please contact me via DM if you have any issues reaching Nam for refund or for address confirmation.

Thanks everyone.

loooool

what a joke

anyone siding with Tam is disgrace to the community

edit: going to expand

if calling him out on his obvious bull**** is the thing that requires a response like this, whilst completely avoiding the issue, then these are never going to ship with him involved

this has happened with so many buys before: obvious lies, drama ensues, promises made, promises broken

prove the community wrong

Again, I am in direct contact with both Nam and Lynn. Please contact me via DM if you have any issues reaching Nam for refund or for address confirmation.

Thanks everyone.
I did request a refund via the email given.  Do I need to confirm with you?

Quick update for people here and sorry it is coming from me

Given recent events, someone contacted me via an account of tams identifying as tams brother

He has asked if I could update this thread to explain a couple of things

Firstly he said if anyone would like a refund, please use the email that was apparently posted above in this thread giving order details and pp details and he will refund you

If you would like to keep your order, please make sure to also contact the same email to give current shipping address and order details

I asked to clarify the email address and was told it’s in this thread and I’m on my phone so typed this up without going hunting, should it not be there let me know and I’ll chase it up

Regarding the pictures I was told by tams brother that he posted those rather than tam, this was done to protect the integrity of tams family business, knowledge of the extent of his illness would apparently be detrimental to that

Regardless of how people feel about the above statements, the person who contacted me seems to genuinely want to progress and finish out this gb, and for that I am grateful to him of that ends up being the case for the sake of the people in this thread

Should anyone try and receive a refund and not get anywhere with it, please contact me via dm and I’ll try and chase him up via my contact details for him and can update this post accordingly should the above statements not come to fruition

Take all of the above as you will, I would suggest that should it be true, people should be respectful to the family during this hard time, and if it isn’t but we now have a line of communication with people that can and will help the gb then that is a positive thing, if neither turn out to be the case then I guess we are in the same position we were before I was spoken to

Linn has stated he has only received partial payment for this gb thus far and is ready to ship it once the remainder of the money and the shipping list is sent to him, I have been provided a screen including linns original post stating this, with some extra clarifications from either tam and his brother, I’ll post this in a new post in one moment

Thanks for your help, Bunny. I also have requested a refund, heres to hoping.

This is such a shame. The EM7 is such an amazing board. I salivated grotesquely when I saw Jokrik's photos. I so wanted to enter for one but alas it was that or hold out for the Alice.

I'll always be a TGR fan, but I do love the way the bottom of the EM7 looks, and that it has an arrow cluster.

What a bummer this GB turned out to be, but at least there seem to be people trying to rectify the cause.

I just received my refund but there is about 20 USD missing, I believe it is caused by the exchange rate, so doesn't matter.

Personally, by reading all the posts these days,
At first I though the whole story is a bull***, someone took the money, bought luxury, and refused to pay Lynn for the GB.
He made up many stories during the year to make people believe in him.
He asked Benny as a middle man is part of the story. The refunding is part of the story, refunding part of the joiner to make the reset still believe in him.
So I asked for a refunding in hurry, in case there is no money left after refunding some of us.

Now I got my refund, and noticed that Nam, Tam's brother is running a rank boosting service for a popular game. He should have enough money to fulfill the money been spent.
So now I believe the story may be: Tam spent money collected from the GB runner, Nam wants to help his brother deal the mess and make things right.

but anyway, I got my refund.
The waiting is over, the waiting from February 2017 till now.

First, this article is delivered through Google Translator

My thoughts may not be delivered properly.



Good morning .

Lx3.

I am sorry to inform you of this incident.

Originally this GB had three problems.

1. payment
2. Personal circumstances
3. PCB made delay.

I already had a problem with # 1 and # 2, and in May of last year I asked Shin to give a refund to the participants and finish the GB. However, shin told me that there is not a refund now because there are a lot of refund fees, and GH members told me to proceed with GB without worrying about it.

It is hard to get rid of the shin who believes in me so much that we continue to GB.

However, PCB problem and personal situation continued, and it became very difficult situation, and every time shin waited for not to worry.
So I worked hard to solve PCB problems last month and said that I was ready to ship now.

But last weekend I got a call from a Korean member, and I heard that shin lied to the members, and the GH member told the Korean member that he wondered about this.
I conveyed the story as it is.

After that, shin contacted me to proceed with the refund and I agreed.




I do not know if you know,
I have a lot of interest and enthusiasm on the keyboard.
At first I was a collector, but gradually I wanted to make something for myself,

In the end, I made a keyboard housing, then my own keycab mold (2 type modified DCS and DSA style) and now a custom keyboard PCB.

However, this was something I could do because I liked the keyboard entirely, and I did not start with a commercial idea.

If I wanted to make money with it, I would have already made and sold a lot of things.

However, I wanted to introduce my keyboard, keycap, and board to overseas and sell it sometime overseas.
So I thought I had a good chance last year and I did GB, but I think it was too easy.

I was not ready.


I am really sorry for all those who have been hurt by this incident,
If I have a chance to do GB ...
I would like to have a GB that will make everyone happy next time.

Thank you.

My sympathies to Lynn.

My invoice was for $742.  I requested a refund, but have not heard back.  I really really want my board, but I can't take any chances.

Glad you have commented Lynn, your message is very clear.

I believe you will resolve it and ultimately get your keyboard to people.

Maybe you can have Shin refund everyone, and then sell your boards to people. I think this would be best.

I agree. Lynn's boards are truly amazing. Assuming we get refunds and Lynn ends up selling the boards in the future, it would be great if people from this group buy got first crack at buying them.

According to insider info, Tam is a notorious scammer within the local mechkey community (he was actually banned from that local group). He is a 23-year-old guy who keeps boasting his rich and extravagant lifestyle in various local forums (including hi-end audio), and will do anything to get money fast and keep his public image.

There is no "Nam" guy either, if you read his email and compare with other posts by Tam himself in this thread, you can notice the distinct similarity in their English usage, how spaces were used before commas, etc. It's more likely that Tam created this "Nam brother" character to maintain the story that he got cancer (which is obviously false).

The local community, upon hearing about this incident on GeekHack, has been laughing non-stop at Tam's new (unsurprising) tactics amd scam. Meanwhile, Tam is still posting pictures of his recent lavish shopping trip in Singapore on Facebook (visible to his friends only), and a few days ago he even asked around for a designer to help with his new (propably scam) project.

So to everyone, PLEASE GET REFUNDED ASAP. Don't expect N(T)am to send you the keyboard; he is reluctantly refunding you guys on request. Get your money back and buy from Lynn directly!

As an admin of the local mechkey community ( VNMK ), I can verify that Tam wasn't banned, he left on his own accord long ago, and there are no new meme about him. He's always been a prick, caused personal beefs with many people and I'm not a fan of him either, but you're blowing things out of proportion for the sake of drama.

Nope, he pretended to be "his brother Nam" and later he referred to himself as Tam, most likely a slip of the tongue.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180515/60023ffa78bf8f2488c23a66485b9645.jpg)

He is a 23-year-old guy who keeps boasting his rich and extravagant lifestyle in various local forums (including hi-end audio), and will do anything to get money fast and keep his public image.

There is no "Nam" guy either, if you read his email and compare with other posts by Tam himself in this thread, you can notice the distinct similarity in their English usage, how spaces were used before commas, etc. It's more likely that Tam created this "Nam brother" character to maintain the story that he got cancer (which is obviously false).

The local community, upon hearing about this incident on GeekHack, has been laughing non-stop at Tam's new (unsurprising) tactics amd scam. Meanwhile, Tam is still posting pictures of his recent lavish shopping trip in Singapore on Facebook (visible to his friends only), and a few days ago he even asked around for a designer to help with his new (propably scam) project.

So to everyone, PLEASE GET REFUNDED ASAP. Don't expect N(T)am to send you the keyboard; he is reluctantly refunding you guys on request. Get your money back and buy from Lynn directly! (mod edit: snip)

As an admin of the local mechkey community ( VNMK ), I can verify that Tam wasn't banned, he left on his own accord long ago, and there are no new meme about him. He's always been a prick, caused personal beefs with many people and I'm not a fan of him either, but you're blowing things out of proportion for the sake of drama.

Does he have a brother named Nam?

Either he doesn't, but he does and hide under his brother's name to respond. Guy always want other to think high and mighty about him and won't explicitly admit his wrongdoings, but at least he's giving refunds rather than running away.

Nope, he pretended to be "his brother Nam" and later he referred to himself as Tam, most likely a slip of the tongue.

To play devils advocate reading thought that.. its painfully obvious he isn't a native English speaker.  I wouldn't be shocked to learn they where using a translator. That was the case then its totally possible the translator messed up.

I only even mention this cause people are being outlandish! Yea this situation sucks.. yea it might have all been fabricated who knows! As long as he is refunding people who ask for a refund. I don't see the point of all the venting in public. Thats just me. As said just playing devils advocate. To be Transparent I do feel the entire thing was shady thought reading thought the thread.

Yes i agree, this isn't a good time and place for all the venting. It may actually hurt the groupbuy further because apparently people are starting to receive refunds.

I'm not venting, but rather warning those few who still want to wait for Tam to deliver their keyboards instead of asking for refunds. They should know who they're dealing with - they have the right to know.

Also, those images that I attached to my posts earlier are not really private. A Vietnamese friend of mine got them from the discussion in the local mechkey group and sent me, as I'm not in the group myself.

Don’t you think it’s better to urge everyone to request refunds from tam and wait to see how things would go first before exposing him considering things were seemingly heading in a better direction?

Since it’s long past the Paypal protection window, I think he will be more likely to run away with the money if he knows that his reputation is completely destroyed here.

How would you urge people to get refunded if some of them still believe that the 'Nam' person is real and there's a chance that he'd deliver those keyboards?

Also, Tam's reputation was already ruined when some good Samaritans here discovered Facebook photos about his trip to Singapore and all the lies. He/Nam has not posted a single rebuttal here since then.

He has always been desperately trying to keep his image look good in the public eye so this would only reinforces him running away.

If he weren’t and decided to continue with his storyline then there’s still hope for the participants that he would make an effort to try to save his reputation by refunding people.

Between nothing and a shot at a refund what would you take? I’m not saying i’m against exposing him but i don’t think this is a good time to drag it further to scare him away. People have already done that and made him take actions to respond, let’s just leave it at that for now.

This x1000, honestly if things are moving in a positive direction why wouldn't you hold off on the bull****, trust me if everyone was getting ****ed and not receiving refunds then giver but imo just bashing when things are going in the positive is just nonsense at the moment.

Yeah so let's just decrease the chance for EVERYONE getting a refund. Great work dude your BS for wanting to start drama is almost as bad as what you are accusing. Might as well be Tam himself creating another alter ego to scare himself away so I can blame your stupidity.

Got kind of a strange response to my refund request, calling me by someone else's name and talking about paypal stuff and fees and saying refund would take 2-3 days. Whether because of the language barrier or otherwise, it was hard to understand. That being said I think I answered his questions and so I hope I will get a refund soon.

If it's the same thing I was told he would rather use a PayPal balance vs a card to refund as it charges no fees.

I received my refund a day after the email saying that it could take a few days. Split the fees with him so only lost about 10 dollars. Thank you all for the updates! Hopefully the people waiting for boards get them :thumb:

UPDATE

I have spoken again today with someone on tams account, they have asked me to relay the following info

He believes he has refunded most of the people who have contacted him so far, if anyone still needs a refund please email again with the subject line refund, he believes he can get these all finished up either today or tomorrow, and then provide the list and funds to linn for the people who still wish to receive their boards shortly after

Big thanks to those keeping this civil, much appreciated

This is so frustrating.  I've requested a refund, but really I don't want it.  I want that em7.  Man, I'm out of goodwill and trust, but I don't want to be.  Why would a scammer process refunds in the first place???  Why now?  Ugh.

I believe that Tam/Nam/Shin (whomever) has almost completed all requested refunds. I'm speaking with Lynn right now. He told me Tam/Nam/Shin (whomever) is ready to send him the money for the rest of the members that did not request a refund.

I will speak with Lynn to figure out how people can directly purchase from him. Stay tuned. Things are happening.

There is currently nothing in place for that, once you receive a refund the matter is closed

That being said boards were already made, and linn I’m sure will want to sell them after completion of this buy so I’d imagine news on that will pop up fairly soon, hopefully people from the original buy will get priority on those

the point is people did not think the fund would go to linn. Tam went AWOL so people just want to be safe and took the refund right now instead of waiting. Linn himself did say that his personal problem and PCB issues were just resolved recently so I did not request a refund.

Some people based on some evidence and delays didn’t believe the boards would ever materialise

The person currently handling the buy offered refunds should anyone feel that way and issued them to all who asked for one, the remaining people who wished to stay in the buy, took the chance they would indeed get their board

The funds for the people remaining were transferred today to linn who will be shipping those boards out, and once he receives those funds that would conclude the portion of the buy with the person people didn’t have faith in

Given the way things looked a good percentage of people opted for refunds as people were getting them, so for most this seemed like the safest option regardless of their desire to still get the board

The boards are already made in the colourways requested by the original participants.  Just send everyone a note asking if they still want it.  Collect the money. Ship. Then put the extras as FCFS.

That would be the easiest way.

As someones who's been waiting to see them on mechmarket, and after watching the drama unfold, I don't think so. If you elected for a refund, you got a refund, you're out, someone else gets your spot. My 2 cents though, it isn't fair to get a elect to receive a refund, get it, then want your spot back in line.

but i think it should be easier now since the boards are made and he can ship immediately after payment which is the issue with paypal holding the funds cause the product will still need to be made. But im just speculating on that as its usually the issue for gb runners. And i still really want to see and get my board that i waited for a long time, although now it seems its impossible since the maker doesnt have a counterpart that knows english  :'(

I totally get his point of view and yours.. one again to play devil's advocate. People asked for a refund got there refund. There out of it! They made there choices they decided the risk vs reward wasn't a good ratio for them to stick around. I also think the board's should honestly at this point be FCFS or Raffled with no preference. It sucks for people that waited but least they could opt to get there money. People get there product then thats great also. I am sure there will be uproar when if people have to pay a little extra cause of paypal fee's/shipping/unknown cost etc etc. I am sure regardless there will be some sorta drama surrounding it cause people are just dramatic

Also I have no skin in this either way. I wouldn't buy in and didn't but figured I give another prospective from someone that doesn't have any type of desire either way.

If you elected for a refund, you got a refund, you're out, someone else gets your spot. My 2 cents though, it isn't fair to get a elect to receive a refund, get it, then want your spot back in line.

Maybe, but you didn't have any 'skin in the game'...

Not really my problem? I have skin in other items floating about that have been delayed already, none as far as the drama that ensued here. But if you've backed out then that's your loss in my opinion, if you pre order an exclusive game bundle, it gets delayed, you refund it, and then it starts shipping you can't just repay and get your bundle back.

I think it's fair to say that just about everyone who requested a refund was under the impression that the GB was going belly up, cash was reportedly missing and they were about to be ivan'd.  A week later everyone who asked for a refund has one (minus fees) and Linn has been paid in full for the rest.  Net result a bunch of people left scratching their heads wondering why they needed to ask for a refund.  Everyone is out of pocket - the original buyers, Nam, Tam, Linn.  The only ones who profited from this are Paypal.  What a screw up.

I mean to be fair to whoever took over the GB at the end, they did mention that boards will be still provided to those who wanted to stay in and not request a refund.

However, those that took the refund did it for good reason, as that statement from the GB runner could have been another lie and it wasn't worth taking a risk for them.

After sticking by the GB for over a year, even though they got a refund, they still deserve the chance to repurchase their boards, now that we know that they are shipping.

I'm not saying Linn can't charge more now to resell their boards to them.  That's between Linn and each participant, but they should at least be given the chance to repurchase first.

That's my 2 cents anyways.

I suspect this is going to be a moot point, I think Linn is going to request payment in a method that offers no protection.

I want my board, but I also want protection.

For those that would like to purchase a board, Lynn has said that he will only accept payment via MoneyGram, as he originally planned. I know this is a very unsatisfactory answer for many of you and after this year long mess, many of you are not comfortable doing this. I completely understand your frustration. Ultimately though, it is up to him on how he'd like to receive payment - after all, Lynn is the one that has paid out of pocket and ultimately he's selling his keyboards. He makes the decisions.

That being said, priority will be given to those that were originally in the group buy. After the initial period of maybe two weeks, it'll be FCFS. I will ask Lynn for details as to how he would like to be contacted and will post here once he tells me.

Please do not spam PM me about getting a spot, angrily post about how it's bs that he's only accepting a certain payment method, etc. It's out of my hands. I'm just here to try to help you get a keyboard. I've already paid for my keyboards via MoneyGram - I did it day one. I understand it's not ideal, but this group buy hasn't been ideal either.

Finally, sorry, I'm not trying to be outwardly rude, I am just genuinely not interested in debating/arguing about what is right and what isn't. I'm only here to help you guys interface with Lynn for a board and help him sell his keyboards so that in October when I meet him I can kick back, drink a beer and say "Holy fk, what a mess that was." I'd like to finish this group buy the best I can and retire from the keeb community.

Yo BMW, do you think you could shed a little light as to whats going on with this spreadsheet?

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Is4xiHPJ-WfkKh1ONVtm8Thl021AdN7prRtfXoXSe9Q/edit#gid=0

It would be awesome if there was some way for you to update it to clarify maybe who is still getting what. If you didnt create it you could still make a copy and start editing. A small layer of transparency would go a long ways for us. Im assuming Lynn has access to this spread sheet also, if not please link it to him.

Also, do you think you could update the title of the group buy on the OP

Wow that spreadsheet is very old.

I bought 2 slots off people on that list and it doesn’t show up there.

Plus I know another person who bought a spot who is it on there as well.

When tam was active he shared a more updated sheet so hopefully BMW can get access to that or else it’s just going to create more confusion.

Still no update for those who requested refund. Once Lynn ships all boards, I will work with him to get those orders taken care of. First priority is getting the rest shipped. I have pinged Lynn several times to ask about shipping, but he says he is busy and hasn't shipped any yet. I will continue to ask every couple of days in hopes that he gets the boards shipped asap. (I'm sorry I cannot physically help, but I will continue to try to inch this over the finish line).

Been a while since I did Windows-programming but my guess is that it might be a localization issue. E.g. the number format you have specified in Windows.
For example, the program is expecting a comma and not a dot as a decimal delimiter.

lol imagine still being in this sham GB

Yea a few guys gave nguyenkimtam the benefit of the doubt and stayed in the group buy. The money apparently got transferred to Lynn (overseen with screen shots sent to Bunnylake) and that was a long time ago, sense then no updates, no nothing.

When I stayed in the buy I got this email from nguyenkimtam:
"
Many thanks,
I will give the list who still interested in this gb to linn so probably shipping start this week
I thanks for your trust and much appreciated
"

It seems like we just all got ripped off.

All,

Just an update since it's been nearly two freaking years since this dumpster fire began...

I'm still contacting Lynn at least once a week to force the issue, obviously to very little effect. It has now almost been two years and we all deserve the boards we paid for (myself included). If you have not received your board, please message me and I will give you Lynn's direct email address.

No amount of me apologizing is going to fix anything, but I am truly sorry that these are not shipped. All aside, I wish everyone a happy holiday season. I hope that by us contacting Lynn individually, we can finally put this to bed.

Thanks,

BMW

no. I refunded cause I believe nguyenkimtam is the scammer and he is continue making stories. Lynn has already finished the boards and was waiting for the rest of money to ship them out. So I wanna get my EM7 back, that's it.

ofcuz.

from previous posts(many pages before) Lynn has already made enough board for the original GB joiners. The boards are already there but waiting for the rest of money. So every joiner should get theirs if the money reallllllllly goes from nguyenkimtam to Lynn for the left ones, the refunded ones can also buy from Lynn directly again since his spot has already there at first.

Working with BMW, I have emailed Lynn and received a response from Lynn about the boards, I will post it here so the trolls inhabiting this thread will be silenced.



(https://i.imgur.com/0jnDuKs.png)


I would encourage anyone that stayed in the GB to contact BMW and email Lynn referencing their orders on the original list ( https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Is4xiHPJ-WfkKh1ONVtm8Thl021AdN7prRtfXoXSe9Q ) and include a screen shot of the original paypal transaction, (they happened around march 15 2017, if that helps anyone find them in the pp activity history) current shipping address and and the full contents of the order in the email.

Im glad I dug this back up, as Lynn seems like he does want to complete this GB.

When I took over a spot last November, he was promising EM7 would ship in December. 2017.

I don't know how you even explain a 12 month delay... That's enough time to build your own CNC router and anodizing table from scratch and learn how to anodize. And then build the EM7s.

But based from his explanation the money didnt get to him immediately and the factory probably tried to get payments for the built boards he requested but cannot pay because there isnt any funds which complicates his situation and relation with his factory. Also, KR GB went fine cause payments go to him directly and he can pay all his suppliers right then and there.

I dont know the full story too but that just make sense to me. Still its unfortunate that i went for a refund cause i still want to own an EM7 but glad that i dont need to be worried if this would be fulfilled or not.

Lynn, thank you for completing this GB!

It is unfortunate that things did not turn out well with this GB, there is a lot of trust involved to pull a GB like this off internationally and what happened with nguyenkimtam was very bad. I hope you can find a better person to help in the future with USA GB but it sounds like that may not happen.

I do beleave that BMW tried his best to help and if it were not for him, nothing would have ever happened, so thank you BMW!

Just glad this has been completed!

Thank you all for putting up with this for the better part of two years. I hope everyone enjoys their keyboards. (And I hope mine ship sometime in the near future...lol) Going through this whole group buy process has pretty much killed my keyboard hobby, so I've been MIA for a long time. I hope to get back into it eventually. Until then, see you all and Happy Holidays!

I posted a lot the other day after I posted it yesterday.
Most of them said that I understood the actions I did, and the other one wanted to buy me the keyboard again.

Currently I have about 30 sets of dolphins and 25 sets of em7.

I want to sell it soon, too. Currently, GB is not finished in Korea, and my job is too busy to sell separately.

You can say that it is not possible to send it because it is already produced, but now I am in a difficult situation even to send it.

 When the surrounding things are organized, is it possible to play the game or reddit? I will post a sales article in the marketplace.

And sometimes you want to buy me a premium price, but I do not mind it.

 Thank you all the time and have a nice weekend.

Scroll up :rolleyes:

When you first plug it in, it will show as a drive on windows, open the temp drive and delete any files in it (should be placeholder .bin) place the base firmware from the link he posted into the drive and then replug in the board. It will load the base firmware and then you can mess with it in the FAve client

Hi, not sure if anyone can help me here.

I've just come into possession of a secondhand EM7 - it's been built with a R Shift + second key under the Enter (this particular circled one - https://imgur.com/a/LLjSDxl).

I'm using the Fave Tool to change the key configs, but for the life of me I can't figure out how to config that particular key. It doesn't show up in the Fave Tool's EM7 config, and it doesn't seem to be mapped to anything at all (keyboard tester or otherwise).

Would any of you know how to get Fave to recognize it? Thanks!

I've just come into possession of a secondhand EM7 - it's been built with a R Shift + second key under the Enter (this particular circled one - https://imgur.com/a/LLjSDxl).

I'm using the Fave Tool to change the key configs, but for the life of me I can't figure out how to config that particular key. It doesn't show up in the Fave Tool's EM7 config, and it doesn't seem to be mapped to anything at all (keyboard tester or otherwise).

Would any of you know how to get Fave to recognize it? Thanks!

I had a similar issue with mine. 
I connected that switch to the adjacent pad used by the full sized shift.

I'm in a similar situation, did BMW eventually respond to you? I've just pmed him but had previously tried the email address given above but no response.

He did, and he said he has not received his board either. The fact that this GB tittle was updated to "All boards have shipped! So long, everyone!" is unsettling..

Is it just EM7 folks still waiting on boards, or Dolphin folks as well? I'm in the "waiting for EM7" camp, myself.

Just out of curiosity, did you end up paying more than GB price for it on /r/mm? I'd really like to have the board I paid for come in, but I don't feel quite up to playing the /r/mm game for it.

I'm trying this now but JigOn just says 'connection failed' when I try to connect. I'm assuming that's due to me already flashing it with Fave? Do I need to reflash it with JigOn firmware, and if so which file should I be using?
I tried using the L3_171209.zip loadfw.bat file, but it says "the specified device was not found".

There was a refunding registration many pages before in this thread.

I got two, both low price. one cause of broken PCB, I do flying wire myself to fix, the other from a kind seller, who heard the drama in GH EM7 gb so he charged me in original price.

Mine's the R3 one with the Limited Edition Lx3 badge, not sure if that's the difference. I've tried flashing the JigOn firmware with every single USB port, in and out of bootloader mode, and it doesn't seem to accept it at all - I just get 'communication error' every time.

Noticed something weird though, holding down that one particular key in default mapping doesn't seem to correspond to any Fn layer at all. but for some reason it disables the 4, E, D, and V keys from being pressed (one sort-of column) - everything else functions normally, though. Could it be a hardware issue?

(edit: I cracked it open and it's a 'Fave EM7' PCB specifically, not a leeku one. Not sure if that means it's just not configurable in JigOn. In any case, it's a bit odd that that one key in particular just doesn't show up in Fave.)
(Double edit: managed to find the original owner! Apparently there's a PCB issue :( )

Nevertheless, thank you for the tips. I really hope this gets all sorted out eventually.

I’m just wondering someone might know the answer to this. I’m selling a dolphin to someone but when he tested the PCB (Fave) it did not give any signal at all. However, i gave him 2 Fave PCBs to try and both acted the same. It seemed awfully coincidental that both got messed up. Thus, I’m just wondering if someone can confirm that the PCB was shipped with a blank layer?

PCBs shipped without firmware. They'll show up as a mass storage device when you plug them in. I thought mine was dead too. lol

Yes I've been trying to contact the people responsible but they apparently cannot be reached, unless everyone involved is in on this and are just stringing me along?

Honestly this experience has killed my interest in this hobby, I spent this obscene sum of money and waited so long, all for nothing.

Thanks for the link. However I've been emailing Lin, and they in turn have been attempting to contact Shin, and are apparently unable to reach them by any avenue. Shin told me back in 2019 that Lin had refunded to them and they were just waiting on clearance, and Lin told me early this year that they had completed all shipments for the money they had recieved from Shin. This makes me think that Shin is the one holding my money hostage. Shin does not answer my emails.

Lin also said to me that they would attempt to give me a Dolphin v3 if any remained after sale, and later asked for my address, but a few months later reverted to asking if I had tried contacting PayPal dispute*, so I guess that didn't play out.

*For the record, the dispute period has long since elapsed.

I realised that I never provided an update so here it is.

I contacted Kevin on discord, he confirmed that Lin fulfilled all of the units that were paid for. No-one is able to contact Shin and he appears to have vanished. Looks like I got scammed.

I can't believe this happened, this was my dream board and also the most expensive one I'd ordered. I planned on selling most of my other keyboards and kits to cover it when it arrived, but of course it never did.

Waiting for this has killed my interest in the hobby, I have $$$ of unbuilt kits and keysets still in their boxes that I can't bring myself to do anything with, or to sell. This loss just hangs over it all.

I blame myself for not getting a PayPal refund and a new invoice issued when I still had the chance, years of group buys with long lead times that were ultimately successful made me complacent. I placed too much trust in the famous names of Linworks and Dolphin.

I’m so sorry to hear about this. I hope one day you will regain your passion and trust in the community. After all, most GB organizers are reliable. Don’t give up just yet. Keep emailing Shin and maybe one day he will come to his senses.

I heard the same thing from Lin as well. He had delivered all the orders he was paid for. This has nothing to do with him.

Please don't take my comments as an attack against Lin, or Linworks as a whole, rather someone who they chose to do business with. I do feel that Linworks should maybe take more care in vetting these people in order to avoid a situation such as this, but ultimately it is not their fault.

I've emailed Shin again at your suggestion, though I'm not expecting to hear back. Thank you for your continued support.
