Thank you Photoelectric.

2018.7.21 update


1.Sandblasting for F62-PE is done in the same factory where DELL and LENOVO laptop are sandblasted. The sandblasting quality is at the same level with the great brands. The cost is higher
2. The houseing is flat. The PCB is laid inside of housing with 7° angle

The cord is detachable and mini B.

F62 PE has its own PCB. Standard 60% would not fit.

appreciate understand your feedback.
The designer is busy with sample now and thinks that it would accelerate group buy time if no IC stage.

This is my dream keyboard, I've been eying it off for a while and I am glad you are running it. Thanks! Is it possible to get an option for getting steel or brass plates? For a keyboard this solid I think it would be sad to ruin the feel with an alu plate.

Are there pictures or renders of the other colors besides black? Also is there any potential option for a beige or off white finish?

Is the PCB used the DZ60? That was listed as the pcb on an older version that was for sale. Does that imply that standard 60% will fit? If not, what is specifically stopping the standard 60percent pcb from working?

Also how many attachment points or screws are used to attach the pcb and case and plate? Your keyboard layouts look like only three attachment points? Maybe that’s just a bad picture.

How does the wire work? As it appears there is a gap from the top of the pcb to the top of the case. Is there an extension with a female usb-B flush with the case? Or does the removable cable connect to pcb and gets routed directly out of the case? Does that mean you have to open the case to change the cable?

Been looking forward to this GB but wouldn't mind at all if the buy was extended another two weeks since there was no IC phase. I'd also like to know if this is tray mount or not (looking at the layout/plate pictures it seems to be) and also what the total built weight is going to be.

I believe ALF has already successfully run a F62-PE GB in China. So this is technically a second GB.

Nice, thank you for sharing these.  :thumb:

Update: Looking at this pic


Wondering why non standard 60 % PCB would not fit. Some of the mount points look very similar. Is this a change to the case for this run?
I have no problem buying a nice PCB with this case, just for future proofing it, having an option for replacement PCBs would we nice.

I am here.  The designer intially designed  this set to be compatible with normal 60 PCBs. He changed that after many tests and make the PCB fixed with complicated details and for better typing experience .
Of course , this is why this set is more expensive than we expected.
thank you for you good question.

2018. 8.1 update
sending invoice.

1. About colors, black and Silver, Titanium are available now. Other colors are not available.
2. Unique 60% PCB for this set and normal 60% PCBs are not fit for this set. This is because the designer want to fix the PCB in optimum angle for better typing experience.
3. The cord in photos is enthusiast's tricky connection ways for assembling. The actual connection is usb mini b which is detachable

Some more open questions, as far as I can see:

  • How to specify the layout one would like to have?
  • How to get more than one PCB/plate? For an expensive custom case, not having a replacement PCB could be hell. Unusable case for ever.

I really like the case a lot. But still unsure because of the open questions. I only use split space layouts and would not go back to traditional layouts.

Oh wow, I was just searching for nice matching keycaps (have black too) and thought about Pulse with Rams. One thing I noticed: The PCB is angled that the SA bottom row fits exactly the case height. That's looking awesome. But works only with R4. R3 looks like this: http://kbdlab.co.kr/index.php?document_srl=5250867&mid=board_Lsno50
Not bad but with R4 it's just perfect.

I know a little late to the party, but are there any plans to do another group buy on this board?  I'd been trying to track it down after seeing it on the KBDFans site months ago and only recently managed to connect the dots.

Just received mine out of the blue. Quality is good except for some minor streaking and chipped edge of the top bar. Really look very impressive IRL. The most Heavy 60% I have seen. The cable connector and LED need to solder onto PCB via jumper wire included.

Awesome! I just heard from OP that orders have been shipped as well. Expect to hear back from him about tracking #.

Nice, thank you for sharing these.  :thumb:

Update: Looking at this pic

Wondering why non standard 60 % PCB would not fit. Some of the mount points look very similar. Is this a change to the case for this run?
I have no problem buying a nice PCB with this case, just for future proofing it, having an option for replacement PCBs would we nice.

Oh! This is my picture.

Has anyone built and flashed the firmware for this board yet?  The PCB is a modified version of the DC60, I'm wondering if the existing QMK code will work with this board.

OK, I tried it and it is the ALF DC60: https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/tree/master/keyboards/alf/dc60

Flashed the kbdfans firmware and it was dead. Luckily I was able to reflash with the ALF defaukt layout.  :D

Even though the board says it's a DC60, the matrix isn't exactly the same as the alf/dc60.  There's an extra switch in R4 of the matrix to support a 2u left shift with arrows layout.  The extra switch gave me issues when trying to flash an ANSI 60% with split right shift layout.

I modified the QMK source and it works for me now.

Found the same problem 5 minutes ago. If you want to do a split space layout you need to switch the K45 and K48 with the KC_NO next to these. My fork is here: https://github.com/jubecker/qmk_firmware/tree/feature/beekey_alf_dc60/keyboards/alf/dc60

Works now. :) (after patching, PCB was missing diodes and holes for ESC key where for LED pins, etc. not best quality IMHO)

Not the best qualilty at all.  When I got my board, there was too much solder paste on the MCU and most of the pins were shorted.  I had to carefully remove the excess with some soldering wick before the board even worked.

They can't even send me the additional PCB I ordered with the case, so I would guess there is nothing extra.

I was in contact, took more than a month to get to the conclusion that they don't have my ordered plates and additional PCP. At least I got a refund. So not real harm done.

The case is awesome, I really like it. Very well made. Rock solid and mine has no flaws, but PCB quality is crap.
Communication during the hole GB sucked. Others take a bigger interest in the people buying their high priced stuff. Would need an unbelievable beautiful case to make me join a Geekmaker GB again. This is an expensive hobby and should be fun, not frustration.
Just my 2c.

If you still have time, I would recommend opening a PayPal dispute.  That was the only way I could get any sort of response from Geekmaker.  You could also try emailing geekmaker.sy@foxmail.com.  That was the address that I got a response from.

I'm only meh on the case.  Mine has some small flaws in the anodization, otherwise I like it.  I agree that the PCB is complete crap; I would go so far as to call it amateur.

Geekmaker has been really poor about communication in their other group buys, too.  Just look at the Typewriter group buy going on.  I will definitely never join another Geekmaker GB again.

I just got a USB-C to USB-C cable from Zap Cables and the board works fine with it.  The USB-C connector spec seems like kind of a cluster to me, is there a chance you're using the wrong type of USB-C to USB-C?

Finally received mine! Louis, a friend of ALF, emailed me and offered to send a white one with a brass plate upgrade instead since there was some QC issues with the black I ordered. Less than a week later, the package arrived. It is a really nice keyboard and I'm very happy with it :)

Yes, it is. But not a standard 60% PCB, due to not enough space inside for the connector.
