Hi everyone!
It's finally time for TMOv2 Round 2, isn't it? It's just that - a Round 2. No new features, no new design. So people that already own R1 TMOv2s can also get some extras, ya dig?
Round 2 comes with a couple of new colours though! This round we'll be offering: Dark Gray, Eggplant, Coral for aluminium cases and stick with a translucent matte PC option as well!
We've added more PCB protection by adding a grounding pad as we heard some had issues with PCB shorting due to living in very specific environments (dry and statically charged). This, however, doesn't impact R1 & R2 compatibility so anyone needing an extra - you're more than welcome to join!
Group buy will be widely available as we'll be selling TMOv2s through these vendors:
- Cannon Keys - US (https://cannonkeys.com/)
- mykeyboard.EU - Europe (https://mykeyboard.eu/)
- proto[Typist] - UK (https://prototypist.net/)
- iLumkb - Asia (https://ilumkb.com/)
- Daily Clack - Oceania (https://dailyclack.com/)
Be sure to follow my Discord server as well - funderburker's house (https://discord.gg/Wds2wtRFjh) for more TMOv2 discussion, updates and just my next projects!
For vendor-specific updates, be sure to join their own Discord servers. Links can be found on their respective websites.
Features
- 100% base kit compatible (*)
- QMK compatible USB-C PCB, designed by Upas
- Underglow RGB LEDs
- Top mount construction
- 7 degree typing angle
- Brass weight

P.S. Group buy will be limited with a pretty high "ceiling". It won't be a raffle but please check in with your chosen vendor to found out how they'll do it!
Layout & key mapping
TMOv2 is mostly 100% "base kit compatible" sub60% keyboard with regular stagger and correct profile keycaps on all 50 keys! Really, it just depends on what layout you go with and if you want to have correct keycap legends.
TMO is all about YOU making it your own. From keysets to artisans to keymapping. With QMK you're encouraged to make TMOv2 fit your typing style. Stock keymapping is only there to be a sane "default" and it's the one I've been using daily.

Wooo! But are the original colours not available?
No, we have to limit colours to 4 options so the mentioned ones - Coral, Eggplant, Dark Gray and matte PC, - are the ones you'll have to choose from this time. Which colour were you looking for?
here's to hoping this can be around $300 or less
Sorry but it won't be under $300, it'll be close to the previous pricing, just a tad higher. Manufacturing costs have gone up, component costs have gone up, even aluminium costs have gone up. We've done our best to keep pricing as close to the previous price tag of $325.

Thanks, everyone for the nice messages, I'm happy y'all like the offered colourways as well! TMOv2 is a quirky board so I thought these colours would suit its quirkiness. :DWooo! But are the original colours not available?

I’d personally love to see any of blue grey, navy blue, red, burgundy, black, white, or silver :) But that’s just me! I can’t wait for R3, this is such a cool board that I have wanted since the very first day that I found out about the hobby :) Good luck with the GB, but you won’t need it, it’ll undoubtedly be another massive success =D

Wish there was the navy color avail, but oh well :(
Yeah, sorry. If we could offer R1 AND R2 colours together we would but we needed to limit colour choices.
Open GB or limited # of units?
GB will be limited, availability is still WIP but it'll have a pretty high "ceiling". Definitely a few hundred units total, I think... Availability is determined by vendors so I am asking for numbers too!

If I wanted a full polycarb (from Cannonkeys) it'd be
- $350 for base kit
- plus $105 for polycarb bottom
right?
What bottom would come with the board if we only went half polycarb?

Have my eye on a polycarb - little confused on the pricing though. Just to make sure I have this right :

That's not my understanding. As posted, I think it meant if you bought a full aluminum case but wanted a PC bottom as an option, then it's an additonal $105. The full PC case itself is $350. Unless am misunderstanding your question.

What you're describing is what I would normally assume; but the chart doesn't make that distinction which is what's throwing me off I think. Re-reading the post again(and with more sleep ha) it does sound like I might have it wrong. Oh well, I'll find out tomorrow.

full polycarb is the base price, the additional polycarb bottom is for those who purchased aluminium and wanted a pc bottom.

looks dope! do you have an idea of how long the fulfillment window will be?
It's hard to tell right now without knowing the final numbers but definitely not sooner than Q2 2022, probably. I really need to check in with Cannon Keys as I don't have a straight connection with the factory and he'll be more up-to-date with their schedules.

No, base kit boards are either FULL aluminium case or a FULL Polycarbonate case! :p I didn't know people would think PC option base kit would come as an incomplete board... :)
Polycarbonate bottom is for those who would like an aluminium top but a PC bottom. Offering Mix&Match by default would be a hard thing to track and offering 4 add-on bottoms (each alu colour + PC) would be also a pain in the butt.

Thank you for clarifying! Just wanted to make sure I had the details right before the rush to queue up. Reading it last night it wasn't clear in the description that the PC bottom was an add-on based on the pricing chart, reading the full description again this morning and again just now I see what I missed.
I blame a lack of sleep and pre-queue panic(missed out the first time around), my apologies for the weird question.

So if you order the full aluminum case and the pc bottom add on you would lose your aluminum bottom that would be replaced with the PC bottom add-on correct?,
Originally i thought if you ordered full aluminum case and the PC bottom you would still get the full top and bottom aluminum case AND the PC bottom to switch out or in at your leisure.
Is the coral finish a ano fisnih or cerakote finish?
Post by: funderburker on Sun, 20 June 2021, 17:16:52
Oh for some reason i thought the same thing since the PC Bottom was in the "add-on / extra" section.

Originally i thought if you ordered full aluminum case and the PC bottom you would still get the full top and bottom aluminum case AND the PC bottom to switch out or in at your leisure.
Is the coral finish a ano fisnih or cerakote finish?
No, polycarbonate bottom is an additional part. So if you order an aluminium base kit (coral, eggplant, dark gray) and add the polycarbonate bottom, you'll get a full board AND one polycarbonate bottom piece.
Coral will be an anodized finish, have nowhere mentioned it'd be a cerakote. Usually cerakote would add to price for that colourway (last time +$20 or so) and also to manufacturing time.

GB sale window has been closed and we're gathering everything to move forward!
I've been a bit offline ever since launch but I wanted to say - I'm still here, have been checking in with vendors and I'll have some numbers to share about how GB sales went. Stuff like colourway split by colours etc.
I also want to say thank you to everyone that has purchased a TMOv2 R2 and/or purchased add-ons and extras for their R1 TMOv2s. The support means a lot and it's very cool to see people chatting it up in my Discord, helping each other out with some Q&A's and just being friendly, funny and chill.
Peace out and have a wonderful weeks! :thumb:

It seems pretty dead here and I must apologize about that. Summer has been filled with various activities and responsibilities, as well I broke my pinky recently and will be wearing a cast until the end of August.
I plan on finally making those charts to show how the sale went and so. Please feel free to ask questions here and I'll reply to everyone in a timely manner, I promise.
Sincerely,
funder
