Yes, DHL told me when I called that there's only X number of shipments going to the US per day, and our parcels just have to wait for a spot.

Can someone PLEASE put an entire build video on YouTube for this keyboard I have no idea how to build it.....

There is a twitch build stream posted few page back.

Also there is step by step assembly with photos on zfrontier.com

Hoping that they will be able to combine some of the US boards in one shipment!

[olsen34]

Just want to confirm, use 8 short gaskets on top, 8 short gaskets and 6 long gaskets on middle case, so the total gaskets used should be 16 short and 6 long ones right?

Still not clear whether to use 8 short gaskets on either top / middle case or 8 on each top and middle case (so 16 in total).

Edit: After watching the linked stream I guess I should use 16 of them.

All should be used on both top and bottom of PCB. And you can also put them on case.

[Kasterborous]

Hi, small question but, does anyone know what sort of PCBs are compatible with this keyboard? Thanks 

[Myk!]

I positioned the gaskets

Top (bottom part)
Middle (top part)
Bottom (top part)

I did not put gaskets on plate. Do not put gaskets on middle (bottom part) for it will stick on pcb.

[Felt]

Does the pcb have another reset method if i remove the reset button?

Fn+Esc

Or you simply change the key or combination.

Striker will have to do until GMK Lux.

I'm in EU an in the same situation. I guess the shipping case is the same here as well. Good insight thank you!

[Willtham]

Is it still worth putting a foam plate on the back of the pcb or do you guys think its sounds good with its switch foams.

[MxBlue]

I went and put the gaskets on the case parts, since you can't swap out PCB/plates otherwise. The different methods contact the same places, so they should all work out.

[suparnemo]

I did the same, gaskets on the case parts and it seems to be working out just fine.

[Cujo96]

Don't want to come off as condescending, but it isn't hard to build at all.

what a nice idea of yours. hahaha gonna try later for new pcb and plate.

It's not very, once you figure out where to stick those weird rubber things lmao. But yea, for someone who's trying a gasket board for the first time, it can be a little confusing. Just a pic like the one I provided would go a long way.

[bananafritters]

Thanks @MxBlue for the contribution to qmk_firmware, finally I am able to use GESC.

[molotov87]

i have a question about my board. when I hold down the F Key like if im  playing a game where that key bind requires me to hold it down for a certain amount of time my board loses its functionality and disconnects, LEDs stay on. is this an issue or am i activating a modifier ? im using the modifier button from the stock flash set up

have you clipped your reset button below the PCB?

[Surefoot]

Is there a way to get an extra PCB ? (i want to experiment with plates) Will there be a sale for extras ?

[Arithmetics]

would also love to do an extra PCB / plate post GB. saw senter ran one for his older boards recently so maybe this one will pop up again.

Mine hasn't updated since yesterday but still on hold was the last update I received

[Willtham]

As I was screwing in the last screw I think it striped on me and won't tighten is there a fix for this or is that a total loss

You over tighten it, lost its thread. Maybe you can use a little wider screw. Wait for other's opinion.

Is it PC?

My build, the blue and yellow goes well with Nautilus.

sorry for blurry pics  )

[SoraNoTenshi]

Does anyone of you have a weird 'Pink' colour on their board?

I am kinda sad that it turned out to look more salmon than the pink in the render....

Have some issues on my plate.

Show Image

Seems these two parts are untreated. Will they rust?

Same here.

It's not too visible but the surface is not coated ^^.



Here is a big scratch of a tool :s



And a failling pcb :s




One key press => two keys pressed. I reflashed with QMK but no effect.

Someone have his email address please?

Thank you :s
