Thank you Jacky! Really impressed with this experience from packaging all the way to the end result. The e-white is smooth and the brass work is high quality. A+

Has anyone had issues after flashing qmk?

Yesterday we built a brand new Elephant, it worked out of the box except some keys were mapped wired so I made a new qmk keymap and flashed it.
It flashes ok, but it won't register any key strokes and the leds are off.

I've tried to flash the default firmware from qmk but with the same result.

What am I missing? Do I need to jumper something on the pcb for using qmk?

The firmware found in qmk is for the R1 pcb and won't work for R2. There's a PR for adding R2 support but it hasn't been merged yet. You could flash it with the code from the PR or a custom via firmware and use that for now.

And this was round 2, also. 
But, he said after round 1 that there wouldn't be another round.... until there was.
So *maybe* there will be a round 3?  But next time he absolutely positively HAS to make a profit!   ;D

Hear, hear! I'd probably sell my soul for another run of this. Not that I think anybody or anything would want my soul.

(and a split-spacebar version of this would probably be my perfect keyboard, tbh.)

I feel your pain brother, but give it time. Eventually something very similar will come around, maybe even something better. Rama came out with a keyboard that was very similar.

While "supporting" such a talented designer is of coarse a good thing, I'm sure that's one of the last things anyone asking for a round 3 really cares about. We want THIS board dude, not some other one. Especially not some  "ergo" board. I much rather we got a R3 of this, then that thing ever existing.
Hopefully someone that wants to provide the countless people in the community with what they want,  just copies the design one day.

Jacky ran this twice and lost money on it both times. You want one so bad? Go get it aftermarket. Saying someone should knock off his design because he doesn't feel like losing money and you're upset you didn't get it is a pretty bad take. Your claim that you think supporting a good designer is a good thing sounds unbelievably disingenuous.

You are suggesting someone to copy and sell a product because you want to buy that particular product, even ****ting on another of his products while doing it... Heck
Mate it's just a keyboard, move on, you will survive without it and there is a lot of amazing keyboards around. As mentioned before, Jacky said he won't run R3 and hopefully he respect that, especially after what you said.

He said in R1 there will be no R2, he still did R2 to make people happy (we had our second chance), later he said again that there won't be another round, making another round after what he said would probably make mad someone who already bought in previous rounds, it is literally impossible to make everyone happy.  Not making things again, again and again made this hobby large and overflowing of different keebs and products.

Just respect the designer choice to not make the keyboard again and again wtf, if you really want it just buy it aftermarket or DIY something similar for yourself only.

I didn't think i was "sh***" on it, (becasue i wasn't, notice how nothing negative was said or implied about it...) just trying to make the point that  "ergo", is nothing like this. The only thing they share is the same designer. And by "copy" i meant more "use an inspiration". You know. a 65%- 75% with 1 column of macro, and big bezels. Which is all this is... there is nothing especially unique about it.
I didn't mean taking the exact specs and measurements and everything. If someone wanted to "copy" exactly, they would obviously have to ask for permission 1st (if not legally, then morally).
I see absolutely nothing wrong with what i was putting forth: Someone else running a GB for a similar board, inspired by this one. I can't imagine why someone who doesn't want to release another round of something, EVER, would have a problem with someone doing a GB for a similar looking board.  And you have not given logical reason they should. There is a demand for something they don't want to provide. so someone else should.
*"Mate it's just a keyboard, move on, you will survive without it and there is a lot of amazing keyboards around."* Ummm.... Well duh. What a silly thing to say.. I'm well aware of what this is lil buddy, and i don't really care either way. This aint my "end game" as the kids like to say, or anything.  Just stating the fact that telling someone that wants THIS board, to "just support the designer" is silly and pointless.
*"(we had our second chance)" LOL! who is this "we"? You mean: The community at the time of the 1st group buy AND the 2nd group buy, had a "second chance." I think it's rather obvious that the majority of the people clamoring for this didn't even have a "1st chance" let alone a 2nd.
*"making another round after what he said would probably make mad someone who already bought in previous rounds," Sorry, but I simply refuse to believe the majority of people could possibly be that stupid.
*"  Not making things again, again and again made this hobby large and overflowing of different keebs and products."* It's not an "either, or" thing my man. And most keebs suck.
*"Just respect the designer choice to not make the keyboard again and again wtf,"* Simmer down. The designer can do whatever they want, I don't care. If enough people want a board like this, someone will make it.
"If you really want it just buy it aftermarket" I don't, and that option is not going to be around forever.
*" DIY something similar for yourself only. Na, i have plenty of my own keebs, if i was going to do that, i would do one for EVERYONE. Probably somehing a lot like this one, but with even bigger bezels! A wrist rest, and a knob. Different enough for ya? LOL! just kidding, i don't care after all that whining.
