Left thumb FN position was a controversial topic in first round at Korea.
The thing is, I find left FN is more useful than left spacebar in that position that time.
But after VE.A released, winkeyless firmware has new function "Dual Action remap"
So, Space bar can be used as "FN" in the same time. which is a near perfect feature for me.
I was working on swappable position for a while. This is my first trial and it just failed.
I'll make it work. But it's just "no guarantee for this GB" thing. cause I don't have enough time.
I have to make another case with this PCB, so large amount of leftover PCB will become huge pain in my sexy ass.
I cannot let that happens. I have almost three weeks to make this right.
But announcement cannot be done by than right?
So I announced early
Thanks for your support, guys.
Thanks for beeing upfront and keeping us informed zefyr!
So, does it mean you'll definitely make it work, but just not in time for the gb?
Also you said you will have to make another case with this pcb?
It would probably be important to know what is going to happen for people who are requesting space fn swap support.
Should we get a board now, and will definitely be able to purchase and updated PCB afterwards at some point in time?
Will updated PCBs not fit in the current case, which would mean we shouldnt buy a board now in hopes of using an updated PCB in it?
I'm back and forth for this topic.
All of these in your question. Like swappable PCB, new Case and so on.
I want to make new Case for this PCB, and also, I want to improve this PCB.
(Focus on the word "I want". that is not "I have to", please.)
For swappable Space/FN.
I already put some budget in that I just want to make it even. and that would be another 30~35 PCBs to sell.
But it's just "what I want to do.", not "what I should to do." for now.
That's why I announced it earlier, before Massdrop GB ends.
Running GB takes a lot of commitments.
I'm afraid of commitments for improved PCB, I already made "stable" version of PCB and put that on GB.
What I really worried of is... "Stability issue after GB ends."
I tested this(Massdrop GB) version of PCB over a month before first GB on kbdlab.
That's my standard for "Stable PCB".
Here's deal.
I'll try to make improved PCB. But no guarantee for that.
I cannot promise anything.
So, if you need swapable version of this PCB. Risk is all yours.
What I can say is "I'll try."
And new case,
It's also a "I want to" thing.
Hey, it's my hobby
please do not forget that.
Some guys already talks about another round.
That is "A LOT OF PRESSURE" on me.
I absolutely have NO plan for another round.
I have NO plan to sell VE.A on my website, yet.
Well, I got nothing left
what a dumb.
I really want make more geeks happy.
But I can't. That's what I learned.
So, I decided to go in "safe" way.
For this GB, time limit is over for further challenge.
Thank you for your understanding in advance.
