Is this still on pace to start in November?

IIRC the November mentioned was for 2019.....

OP had stated that the Group Buy would run November of THIS YEAR.

Yup exactly. I was referencing this post:

We are still alive !!

Thank you for not forgetting.

This project was very hard.

I think it'll be over if we make one more sample.

GroupBuy is scheduled on "2020.11.01 ~ 2020.11.21".

Amount is don't know yet.


PS : Each part is a sample, so please take it into consideration.

Has the cost been determined yet?

I'd also say it not gonna happen in November (or maybe at all) due to:
  • OP is MIA again. Last time they were here is 17th of October.
  • No general info about the run: quantity, sale format, vendors, prices, shipping, production time.
  • No info about board itself: options, colors, badges, etc.
  • No photos of finished product.

OP showed remarkable lack of decency (not to mention respect) for the people willing to participate in the GB (and community as a whole) with the stunt they're pulling. I suggest you forget this ever existed, move on and spend your money elsewhere.

Hasn't talked to us since September. And I am alone and scared. Why would he do this to us, his loyal children. What a scammer. Didn't even take our money yet. Called us names. Peed in my cereal. What a mean mean designer man. Not fair!

I might have to buy 2 instead of 1 now, to show the appreciation for OP's dedication and hard work (that will not be properly compensated).

Yeh, but OP said that last year as well. Judging by the inactivity, we'll see another November come and go :)

Given the sporadic manner in which OP has managed this IC, I would be extremely hesitant to put down cash for any potential groupbuy purely for the risk I'd never see him/her and (as a result) my money ever again. Pretty sad considering the keyboard itself looks great.

hey there captain two posts. this is the second version, there has been sporadic news for 2 years and beyond. they aren't in a hurry, clearly. after all this is an interest check and not a group buy post. it's to check interest for a later sale, at any given point in the future, or not at all. you can easy see this by checking the first post which is from Sun, 25 November 2018. whenever they're ready they will announce it.
there is no reason to leave such comments on an IC post from a maker that had no drama attached to its name and caused absolutely zero issues in this community for 4+ years.

His only 2 posts are basically "I'm interested for sure!" and then "I dont trust OP with my money" lol.

My guess is that GB will eventually come, I really doubt that OP will give up on this after designing a new PCB and showing prototypes.
OP's probably not satisfied yet with the prototypes / build quality.
Let's keep faith and wait for updates.

Now we proceed to the anodizing color sample.
After checking the anodizing color sample, proceed group buy.

Group Buy was scheduled to start on December 1st.
But, we are couldn't get together six month, in the aftermath of the 'covid-19'.

They are in no rush so it could be anytime next year. But most of the production is done.
So guessing Q1/Q2.
If I get one, I'm afraid it will make the rest of my boards obsolete lol.

@Painmaster

Is it possible to get a DXF for the VE.A PCB?  If I can't get my hands on a 2nd VE.A, I would at least like to make a few more PCB+Plate combos for the one I currently have to have different switch combinations.  Happy to share the PCB files with you to support people who want to refurbish their gen1 VE.As.
