Anyone interested in the Lightsaver or Duck V2 with the raiser?
The Lightsaver weighs approximately 4.7 lbs. The box and accessories it comes with is an additional 4.6 lbs.
The cost is around $275.
This includes the case, plate, pcb, and accessories.
http://imgur.com/a/JH9oxgreat looking board, if the keyboard weights 4.7lbs how can the accessories weigh additional 4.6lbs? what sort of accessories are those? BTW did the guy came out with programming software for it?

The only problem I have with it is the layout. Because Duck0113 wants to keep things simple, and use a tray style case design, there is a limitation to what can be done with the layout. There is no spacing of separation between the alphanumeric section and the numpad section, or the function row. While it doesn't seem like this would be a problem, your fingers will fumble, because they naturally look for this spacing they are used to, for reference. While I think the case is beautiful, I can't get past the layout limitation.Is it tray-style? Look at the 2nd-to-last picture. Also, in the last picture you can see a PCB & plate installed in the top half. Seems like a classic 2piece+plate to me, with the plate inside the top half (like most LZ cases).
Personally, I think the layout is the best part. Along with the excessive LEDs, this is a must buy for me. Also $275 seems like a very reasonable price for what's included.
Thanks for the feedback. I'll go tell duck how appreciative you guys are!
The accessories does not include LED. Most of the items that are included is to piece together everything.
There are 2 LEDs to each side on the bottom, and those are included.

Dear Sir,
Would be interested in joining this.
Please let me know when you will run this Group Buy (if you're going to run one) because it's cheap compared to REDLINE's stuff.
That's why I'm jumping in on spirt's MX Mini GB instead of LZ MX GH
that's a very interesting layout... I might consider it ! also based on the pictures are there two separate pcbs within the case? (TKL + Tenkey)
I'm fairly certain the price increase on increasingly larger pieces of metal to begin work on is exponential.

good question
What Sherry is offering now is the Light Saver, what I'm waiting for is the Mini Saver (60%) and Light Saver Limited(If it is TKL)Show Image(http://cfile5.uf.tistory.com/image/210DD83E524982162AA09B)
sherryton,
do you have more details on the plate?
Is it mod friendly, I mean will it be possible to open the switches for lubing, etc. without desoldering the switches?
Can you post a picture of the light saver PCB's? (when you have one) I'm seeing some confusing stuff on the ones there: is the tenkey a separate pcb, or is that just the image of the pad pcb? does it support center stem capslock? etc etc.
Otherwise, I really want one. bad.

You see Sherryton, there's a rush for these.
Please don't post a lottery system or some kind of nasty prize draw, to get a limited number of these. Mainly because I always lose in draws (of any kind).
Have a real Group Buy that delivers these babies into our hands as soon as possible.

Wow. With the new info above, I'm even more excited!
Is the keypad without plate? A separate plate? So many options on that side.Here's a picture from the website. Seriously guys: go read it.

These pictures look different than the latest photos from the website.
The pictures from imgur look like its two pieces and the plate is attached to the top. While the new photos look like the plate/pcb drops into the case and its one piece.

MoreOk I have important questions.
In my opinion, many keyboards that are programmable are more or less crippled by the programming utility. This is the case with the Cherry G80-1950 and (to a lesser extent) the KMAC. The GUI may look nice and be easy to use, but the features aren't there. (For example, the Cherry doesn't have all keys available for programming. The KMAC has options for keys (toggleable function is one) that don't actually work, etc.) This has been alleviated with the rise of third party firmwares (TMK_Firmware for KMAC Looks like an excellent alternative) but is still somewhat of an issue.
I've been researching the Duck Saver and Lightsaver keyboards as much as I can, and I think I see references to a reprogramming utility, but have not seen any actual release or download. Will there be such a thing? more importantly, how good will it be? I'm okay pressing buttons in korean (or, better yet: just using text files and the command line, like what Soarer's firmware gives you), as long as it's easy to translate.
With the many plate options, it only makes sense for this keyboard to be programmable. Has a utility been released? What's it like? if not: is there a release date in mind? I can't wait to start using it. and picking what layout I'll have.
I think the underglow LED's are SMD and soldered already. Do you know what package / size they are? I need to start researching what custom colour I'll make mine.
The item will be available on my site for a week. The reason for the increase in price was because of fees, customs, and shipping. If we are able to reach 15 orders, then the price will drop to 285.How many will be available? Is there any limit?

Is that just a problem with your site? I swear I entered my address correctly :))
I think I fixed it.
I realize these can be PCB mounted but what if you want the plate, how does that work for allowing the different layouts?

It seems there are two plates, winkey and winkeyless. The difference is in the bottom row modifiers. The plates have large openings with extra space for the stabilizers on the numpad that allow passage of the stabilizers on the larger keys there if you so choose to use them. There is a picture of how it looks exactly on one of the posted sites. The two plates have the ability for the numpad to be adjusted as desired.

Hell, it seems like the plate might possibly accommodate both bottom row setups. Anyone else see that? Especially with how the stabilizer sits in one of the slots that would be 1.25x.
Those slots are definitely wider than one switch width. I'd bet money one plate does everything. Perfect.
Man I really want one of these now, I'm such a flip flopper :(
Cannot decide between silver and red....That red looks good but I'm scared I will get tired of it. At least I have a few days to decide. :]
Yep, that's a "universal" type plate, which supports both "winkey" and "winkeyless" layouts on the same plate. Really, with the PCB mount switches and stabilizers, the only reason you would even need a plate is to secure the PCB to the case, if there were no standoffs in the case for mounting the PCB. But that PCB has mounting hole slots, and the case appears to have standoffs...
I am in the same boat, can't decide on the red or silver, bet leaning toward the silver one. do we know what LEDs they come with?
I'm confused, you guys are way smarter than me but I see plate in those pics but you're saying this is pcb mount?
I'm confused, you guys are way smarter than me but I see plate in those pics but you're saying this is pcb mount?
I just confirmed that the plate can use both winkey and winkeyless because they widen the holes I believe. You can also use either 1.75x + 1x or 2.75x. All the combination in the picture of "Light Saver Lay Out" is possible with the plate.
I saw your Light saver page, and concern about the switch type:\
And a group buy?
I only see 3 colors for the housing. What is the switch type? Cherry MX or ALPS ?

These keyboards will be shipped from Korea right? Is it possible to get them shipped via their EMS? It is alot cheaper than the $58 USPS shipping option on the website.
Also, will the T-Savers be available for sale soon?

Wait, shipping would be 58$?!
This would push this purchase to the 350$ mark.
Oh boy, this thing is kinda getting out of reach for me :(
Sherryton, can you please comment on the final shipping costs?
i also hope that sherry can shipped from korea, so it's more cheaper
but sherry already tell me that the item shipped from US
i also still waiting confirmation from sherry
Well I guess it hasn't billed me yet? Does that happen when it ships?
So the last day of order will be 11-8?
I suspect the white light is from the ambient light of the room, like there's a lamp above the keyboard somewhere.
I still need to contact them to see what diode size they are using for the underglow.
Yes, the "underglow" SMD LED's here are clearly the two red ones, as their position matches up with the holes we see from the bottom-up pictures. But in the picture above, somehow they have both red and white light leaking into the acrylic insert.The white is the flash of the camera, the picture seems to be taken with camera flash
It's not a big deal or anything but I'm just curious how they did it lol....
It'd have to be very faint flash: there's no visible shadow from it anywhere.I mentioned the shadow from the light source. Look closely underneath the "Control" key in the picture I posted!

Seconding this question. Pretty tempted to get one of these but I need to know what I can do in terms of Fn layer(s), toggling of layers, how programming is done, etc.
Also, about much would shipping be to canada?
Fair enough. Is there support for costar stabilizers? Or is it cherry only?
Sherryton, possible to get a PCB only, please?
Sherry if we order this with other stuff will we be able to get the other stuff now and this later?
I wasn't able to get in on this... Sorry. But it seems enough people did. Hopefully one day, one of you decides to sell yours off. I will be there, waiting.

After some playing around with the angle of the board I have now, I find 11 degrees to be far too steep for my liking. Any chance for the same board in a shallower case? Or someone willing to buy the case off me if I decide to grab this board?
That layout is just far too appealing to me.

I can't measure my boards right now.
Is 11 degrees the angle you get when you use the feet on let's say a Filco or QFR?
I prefer my my boards flat on the table, so I am not a 100% sure I want to spent so much money on this board. But I want to :p

The angle does seem almost the same as when you use feet on those boards. One could just raise the front of the board to make the angle shallower, but that would also raise the height of the keys.

Anyone want two cases so I can have a shallower case made for myself? :rolleyes:
Any word on the final number/whether there'd be another price drop?
There were about 20 orders + 6 from me. 26 Total!
I'll update you guys on refunds or coupons when we finish all these orders. We're totally packed right now. I think we might have to put down our site for maintenance.
LEDs do come pre soldered, but they are only red :(
No options. They said you would have to solder it yourself if you want a custom color.
Yeah, I saw that--pretty cool. Looked like diodes are soldered on those photos, but resistors are not (except in a few spots).
Was just on duck's website, and I see the lightsaber PCB is done. It looks like the diodes and resistors are pre-soldered.

By that I mean having a 6.25x spacebar followed by 2 1.5x modifiers, followed by 2 1x spaced switches to allow for an arrow cluster to be sandwiched between the mods and the numpad:

Software DL points to a new website http://kbdlab.co.kr/ which explains why there were kmac firmware hints from before. I guess kbdmania has a website for developing kbs or whatever. Was definitely worth a look.

Stupid question but how do you turn the led's on? I've only soldered in the tab button and wanted to make sure things were working but none of the led's turn on when my computer turns on. The button works though. I feel like Im missing something that is common knowledge here.I'd take a look at the default firmware (downloadable from kbdlab) and see what the default LED control button is, then solder / bridge that.
While the DFU boot loader is active, go to the device manager. If there is a device w/ an exclamation mark, click it and do a manual driver install from the the Flip/usb directory.
Wonder what happened to my LightSaver. Haven't heard anything and order status is still unfulfilled. :(
Good question for the Duck mini it appears you press and hold caps lock (?) while plugging the board into a USB port (ref (http://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&js=n&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fduck0113.tistory.com%2Fcategory%2FDuck%2520mini%2520firmware).) Need to dig a bit more...
I wonder. Didn't get them :( Probably screws and rubber feet.
oh that would be really nice.I wonder. Didn't get them :( Probably screws and rubber feet.
I didn't either, but it's ok(for me). Screws are 5mm M2, I will mail you some if you like. I don't like feet so I went without them.
Kildras, You will need to add your own LEDs and switches. I will assemble yours if you like.
I am really interested in this keyboard. Does anyone use it professionally for Excel and/or programming? I use the arrow keys a lot as an Excel geek, moving around cells and such, will I have to put numlock on and use 8/4/6/2? That seems a little clunky since I would have to toggle numlock on/off often since I use both arrows and keypad a lot. I also use Delete, Home, End, PgUp, PgDn, P/B, and Print Scrn a lot... I take it since this is a programmable kb I will be able to lay those out per my needs? Probably in the cluster above the numpad, and two above backspace. Other than that it looks amazing...but maybe I just need to stick to traditional layout with discrete arrow keys since I use them often? Ideas/advice appreciate, as this is really a beautiful kb i would love to use professionally. If anything maybe I will get one for home use if not practical professionally.
Thank you, much appreciated, will migrate to the new thread. Can't get those two pics you posted to load, really interested in seeing your recommended layout though.
Been compiling information here:

I can't comment on the numpad use, because I never got used to using it and just touch-type on the number row. Not as efficient probably, but I don't use Excel much. Otherwise, it's a bit of a learning curve to get used to the key spacing for the function row and the arrow cluster, but I'm mostly used to it now.

What do you mean by "can't get the pics"? Don't they load?

In case anyone wants to know for whatever reason. I'm a person who purchased one of these kits from Originativeco. It was my very first keyboard transaction, and not a very pleasant experience as the owner of that website is super hard to get ahold of. I had to cold call him a thousand times. It was easy because I was excited and looking forward to receiving it, but the effort to get this thing kind of killed it for me so it's just sitting on my desk at home. Mine came with the PCB board, the metal plate and the bottom portion of the case, which I believe is the only casing it uses because the top is completely covered by the keycaps.
I'm still new to keyboards, so I haven't actually done anything with it yet. My plan was to use it as a learning project, but after reading some of these posts dealing with the firmware etc, I'm a little intimidated to start with soldering in the LEDs although this site has been super helpful with precise info to order everything.
If I can fetch a premium for the kit, I'd be willing to sell it...but I have to get some type of premium for it because I must have used 20 hours of time in calling this company to get this thing...haha. I'm kind of kidding. In all seriousness, I'm open to offers, but not in a hurry to sell it. It doesn't have any scratches or any damage whatsoever. Perfect condition and never used/installed/attempted anything, etc.
I'm contemplating ordering the second GB..not sure yet though.
