Is there any acrylic layer for the alu casing?
do you have a plan to make something like sticker or acrylic tag for indicator?
it looks quite empty
Other stuff regarding the cases:
No external engraving etc on the weights - just "hbcp" on the inside of the weight.
No indicator markings, just the three LED holes.
Light pipes will be included and installed by me - I may have to superglue them in on some boards since they sit a little loose inside. This won't affect look or anything, I've tested it.
where can I find google form link?Form won't be posted until 1pm EST.
will you update soon?
Is there going to be a form? I was under the impression that this was going to be for sale on his websiteThere will be a google form. After you fill it out, you'll get an invoice from his website.
Is the final color for the PCB decided yet?
Excuse me. Can I pay the invoice by Paypal account?
Do u have any pictures for the Lightpipe that u've tested in the poly case? Im not understand about this point... :(

The lightpipe doesn't work as well on pc as it does on alu since all of the pc is translucent, but here's a crappy pic:Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/slbtbFH.png)
The case itself is designed to help isolate the LED light between indicator spots.
I want my Pink! Joining for sure.Thanks for your confirm! One more, the standard plate for MX is universal?

Looks like the PC version would be a great candidate for a sticker in that spot. That should help isolate all the extra light coming through.
Hiney, what color would you pick if you had to pick only 1?

Yeah I can send out a blank PNG or DXF or something that'd fit that area. I dont plan to supply any actual stickers myself tho.
Poly hit 35 entries at 1min 9sec into the buy. You can check your emails to get a good idea of if you got one or not. If you're worried about not getting one feel free to submit for alu as well, there's still like 20 slots there. If you missed poly, i'll get you for alu as long as you're within the 65

I don't know if I got a poly spot, if I don't I'd fill out for an aluminum but I don't wanna be on the hook for 2 boards
Are there still aluminum spots?
Is there a discord for this GB?

Sorry for your loss, however it looks like you just barely made the cut for the alu!
All polycarb invoices are out along with the first alu entries up to the polycarb cutoff.

Is there a way to get an email to the email address that's paired with my account on your site? Or what's the best way for me to increase my chance of getting one of the ones not paid for?
I'll keep browsing here then, I'll have to recover my discord account. Is it gonna be in a couple weeks when the orders get shipped out, or sooner, or no idea at the moment? Sorry to be annoying

Got striker in, so here's a little tease while we wait on the GB units on the R1 proto!
I keep coming back in here hoping there would be extras or any that are still unpaid lol. What are the chances for that to happen?
Factory received the payment sent the other day. I will review their final files and approve then production will start :thumb:
I wonder if anyone has plans on making a badge or sticker of some sort for the indicator light area? HehI would love this. Someone make this please!
confirmed the case files tonight for CNC, so that will start asap
got the JST cables in the mail over the weekend
the rest of those screws showed up last week as well
PCB prototype will be here this week

****, those look so good.
What about brass weights? Are they coming from the same factory? Can't find production pics :)
so my QC criteria for hbcp will be external only. if there's internal ano defects or stuff that isn't seen while the board is built it will qualify as A stock. I will do my best to match top/bottom ano if there is a large difference
What are the possibility for extras? Hell, I'll take any with major blemishes haha.
Thanks God it happened. Otherwise it could have been the most boring GB I've ever joined.

16 of 18 boxes were delivered today. going to be going thru and QCing stuff. need to order boxes, so I won't be shipping til next week at the earliest
where the memes at? all i see are boring updatesIt is better than no any update :))
yo im so dumb and the PCBs have a small problem
it affects the 6 key on the numpad. the RGB LED signal cuts straight through the diode pad on the switch footprint. it's an easy fix for the handful of people I've already shipped:
cut on the red linesShow Image(https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/514878619667922946/668114180863164456/image0.jpg)
this makes the RGB not work properly, obviously... i've ordered new PCBs for the polycarb orders. the rest of the PCBs that ship with the aluminum cases will have this cut made to them by me.
any ideas when the extra would be up for grabs?
18 black hbcps are currently out of my hands and in the hands of USPS/DHL or delivered.
the remaining black ones (except for bigger orders, like 4+ PCBs/plates) and any that have an Alps plate order (read below) will be out Tuesday. I will hopefully also start getting pink ones out then too.
Silver and the PC ones will be shipped after I get some more of the black/pink out. Trying to make some more room for myself lol
VIA is active for the PCB but it does not come with the VIA hex flashed. You can download it here: https://caniusevia.com/docs/download_firmware#0 Note that you cannot change the indicator colors with VIA *yet* - however you can use the RGB commands now for the underglow. To change the indicator colors you have to do it in QMK itself by adjusting the HSV_* values in the hbcp.c file. If you need help with this message me and I can help ya out.
Regarding the alps stuff, I decided to bite the bullet and order some new PCBs with a fixed hybrid alps+MX enter footprint. I will have some (8-10ish) extras for whomever may want one. I will be hand soldering the MCU/USB/RGB LEDs on these so they may take a little longer to get out, however there aren't too many so hopefully not too much longer lol. It's the right thing to do for everyone involved.
The patience has been outstanding, thanks yall
I've never used VIA before so maybe I'm missing a step.
I've downloaded VIA and the .hex file following the link below. However, when I run VIA it starts searching for devices but never finds any. I've tried plugging in pcb then loading VIA. Having VIA on and then plugging in pcb. Pressing the little button on the pcb while plugged in with VIA on, and pressing the little button while plugging it in.
When I first plugged in the PCB Windows did detect it properly so at least the computer knows it's there...
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Did you flash the new .hex onto the PCB? You can do that with QMK toolbox: https://qmk.fm/toolbox/ make sure you select the AT90USB1286 in the top right menu, and browse to the correct .hex. Once you reset the PCB the AT90 device should show up (make sure you have the drivers detailed on the Toolbox page installed as well) and flash.
Just did that process myself and the PCB shows up fine:Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/GfoVgYs.png)

Ah, that's probably it. I'll try that when I get some time.
Thanks for the help all.
Just finished building mine this morning with an FR4 half-plate. The board turned out sooo nice. The ano is super smooth and color matching on point.Oof that black came out real nice. Almost makes me regret getting silver.
This was the smoothest group buy I've ever been in . From GB launch to board in my hands = 4months and change.... amazing 👏
Thanks so much, Hiney.

Any idea when the PC ones are going out?
Will any extra blacks be available as well? Also, dumb question, but would the extras be sold on your website?
So happy to see that the boards are being built because not only are they beautiful, but it means I might get a chance for a spare part.
Where should we be checking for the potential raffle? only on your site?

Hi! Any news on silver?
Anyone want to trade one of these to me for a satisfaction75?
After you get those shipped out will you have a sense for extras?yup. likely won't occur til late april at this point bc of my moving and the coronavirus stuff.

hi yall. still waiting on the fixed PCBs for the poly orders. I got the HK DHL tracking number on April 3 however it hasn't moved since, seems like it's slow between China and HK. I am moving next weekend so I will either have the PCBs beforehand and ship once I'm moved, or have the package redirected to my new address. Either way looks like we're still at least 7-10 days away from me starting to ship the rest of the poly orders.

Can we look forward to any extras? I went to your site but it's down for the move. I tried the discord link to keep up with the latest, but it wouldn't link me there.
Hi. I moved last weekend, everything went great. I still have the polycarb hbcps with me. I got the new PCBs working fine, and have received all of the packing materials except for the side stab guard things (hardboard panels I put in the box to protect from sharp objects penetrating the cardboard). I'll pick up some hardboard from home depot tomorrow and make those up (easy stuff to do) and I'll get these out this and next week.
enjoy!
i assume after everyone receives their's then there might be some b-stock available ?
Well, my PCB (the very old, pre 6-key fix) was DOA. I just took it out of the anti-static bag today to build, and no computer recognizes it as a thing when I plug it in. I'm going to need to get another PCB when they all get sorted out.

will get the MCUs swapped over through the week, re-QC and ship ASAP.
Will there be extras? Or did those already go?
extras haven't happened. planning to do the alu before poly, though.Will there be extras? Or did those already go?
Also wondering. I think we might have missed them since I'm not on discord
any updates on the extras?
