[GB] Fox Lab - Key 65

[Ipse]

RGB per key would indeed require a board redesign, so don't get your hopes up.

I'm pretty new to this so I'm just wondering why it'd require a PCB redesign. Is this because there would need to be a controller?

If that's the case, can I just swap out the led's with which ever colour I'd like to use?

[Surefoot]

Oooh just had an idea for anyone wanting the ISO plate, in the UK or EU. I'd be very happy to organise a mini group buy, so we could get them slightly cheaper. I personally want brass, so I can't order from Lasergist, so I'm looking at UK laser cutting services. I'm going to get one made for myself regardless, but I thought I'd offer everyone the option to maybe get them slightly cheaper if we all pool together The website I'm currently looking at is Lasermaster.co.uk. I've sent a quote request in already with the plate file, so I'm waiting to hear how much it'll cost to make just one. If you are interested, they offer various steels, aluminium, copper and brass.

I'd be in for brass, i was going to send the file to LaserBoost as they are in EU too, but it seems the file is incomplete and lacks measurements ?

currently getting some quotes at laserboost for aluminum, steel and brass. But im not sure if its the correct file, because they said some lines are grouped. but they kinda fixed it. are the measurements not in the file?

what materials are the gaskets made of?

also how is the center of the key logo going to be coloured?  Is it always black or is it colour matched to the weight/front plate?

You can pick which color you want the key logos to be. Both on the front and in the weight can be picked seperately

[noodleman]

I meant the middle quarter circles in the logo.  I'm assuming the whole key is one piece so that part will have to be painted a colour.

Since the key logo is inserted and not a part of the weight unlike kanji logo engraving, the 4 circle colors should definitely be the same as the weight.

I am so tempted to change my order to a full PC case from all black but worried that it would feel light and flimsy.

Only single color SMD LEDs are supported. Yes, you can desolder the white LEDs and change to other colors.

The quarter circles are a part of the weight.

When exactly do the orders close?

I'm still trying to make up mind, and would appreciate it if someone could weigh in on how easily the PC and POM might scratch. Also, comparing densities, they are both less than half that of aluminium - would that result in a board that feels light and flimsy like someone else was also wondering, or would the aluminium weight be substantial enough to make up for it?

You can always choose PC + aluminum.

To be honest, I hoped more diversity in the orders.
Still, too many people just choose full PC, full black alu, full E-white.
I know simple is good but you won't find another GB runs like this if you don't catch this chance.

I think the biggest hurdle to this is the uncertainty with colour matching, as well as the price. If only there was a way to quickly generate a colour matching with potential keycap colourways with the intended case colours

agreed. this is a fantastic GB but i went black/black/pink because there were renders that made me realize how good it looks. it's hard to try to combine colors in your head and think of matching keysets as well.

I went with a color combo that I wish I saw more of, with Teal and Yellow, thank you for running this!

I'm interested to see how many people just copied the example pics cuz they did look quite good.

I went white/yellow/teal with pink plate/weight. no idea what keyset is going to fit, but i had to get some colors!

Will the fit and finish/quality of the PC case be the same as the aluminium? My biggest worry is that the case would be warping and misalignment due to the soft nature of the material e.g. the weight not sitting flush with the back.

[thecezar]

Only putting in orders ends tomorrow right? And invoices need to be paid by the 16th? I'm just waiting to get paid to pay my invoice hahaha. Also, do we just message you if we want to change our order?

[DaneOne]

Put in my order on the 4th and I havn't recieved my invoice, this is just how it is right, just gotta wait? just worried I'll end up missing out somehow, because something went wrong :/

After you posted the first batch of orders, I checked if anyone had the same combo as me. It was just one person, but they took the 7u spaced version, while I got the 6.25u. I understand people, who just want a clean board, but with this many options available taking 3x Poly, 3x e-black or 3x e-black is kind of dull. That said, mine wasn't that much more creative - a White/White/Black with a black key, white weight and black key on the weight. This is my first custom, so I didn't want to go overboard on the wacky stuff. Plus, I want to put KAT Milkshake on this, so it had to fit the keyset.

I'm pretty sure if you ever run this board again and have more photos of different color-combos it's going to encourage more creative orders.

True. That makes sense to me. My render guy does great work but was seldom available. I'll do more renders the next time.



Here's a new render another friend made for me. It's not how PC case looks. It should be matte.

Slight warping is possible. They fit well after screws are fastened.

Yep, I still hope people will post innovative and incredible combinations after the boards are delivered, even not too many.
I never run round 2s. If there's nothing new, it doesn't worth my time to run it.

[airyimbin]

I'm sorry if this has already been asked.

I just joined the GB, when will the invoice be sent out?

[vincevelorn]

Looking at the list, looks like my combo is completely Unique

[nsmk]

White/White/Black with a black key, white weight and black key on the weight.

I got white/white/black with white weight as well but with kanji logo on the weight.

And I agree that this is a safer/less innovative color combo. Might start trying out more bold ideas later on down the road tho.

Hey there,

How much time is there left to join in on this? I have a friend who isn't available until later tonight (PDT) but wants to join in on this GB

Thanks!

Damn, that key logo on a poly top piece looks sick.

The W/W/B combo should look clean AF, tho. Can't wait for mine. :)

Oh, interesting. Respectable approach. In any case, I'll make sure to post photos of my build after it's done.

Just placed my very first keyboard group buy order! Can it be Q1 2020 already haha 

[muppen]

first keyboard group buy i have joined

[uncleAjushi]

Can I still edit the form after submission?

I noticed that on list number 2 it states that “don’t fill in the form multiple times unless you want to place more than 1 order”

Does that mean creating a new form? Or editing the current submitted form?

Thanks

You know, i have a very intresting combo between Pink & Teal... i hope it will turn out nice, since i tried and decide on the colours based on GMK Vaporwave.

[Knoxx]

Looking at the list, looks like my combo is completely Unique

Same here. Had a keycap set in mind that I wanted to match and just went far out with the colors. Could look bad or amazing but that's part of the fun I guess.

Hi,

Does your board fit with other PCB such as ZEAL65? Under glow RGB is not that hard to make I see many groupbuy can do it, hope you can consider this

[heyjaykay]

It's closed? I need to edit the form. Any other way to access?

I ordered boring PC because I am not that much into coloured keyboards and keycaps. Very much a fan of the classics. and PC is so neutral it could fit any key set.

[wil]

should have asked earlier but is there any hope for buying multiple key logos as extras after the GB?
