KMAC 2

[sherryton]

As many of you seem interested in (even) more Korean aluminum cases, I have worked real hard to obtain these.  I do not even speak the Korean language, but I went out of my way for the last 2-3 weeks to make this happen.  I cannot announce things that I am not sure is going to happen.  The KMAC leader just announced this week on KBDMania that we are working together.  I will bring more Korean aluminum cases, and he will be my provider for Cherry keycaps.

Here are the options:

KMAC 2: Titanium
KMAC 1.2: Silver, Titanium, and Red

Silver and Titanium are the original colors.  Red is a new color they decided to use.

KMAC Pad: Titanium, (Silver?)

Please discuss here if you are interested.

I will also be providing switches, stickers, and springs.  Alaricljs is my right hand man, and he will be providing soldering services.

Included Parts:


Assembled with blox(I believe the blocks was changed to match the color of the case after listening to their fans):

Inb4 Prof poops his pants ) very nice Sherryton.

[boost]

Very nice!!

would like to get a silver kmac 1.2

[Halverson]

Well you know me.
Kind of want titanium 2 and red 1.2

Now that I see a kpad on the list....KMAC 2 with Kpad would just be amazing.

[singaporean123]

Any pictures..?

[okooko]

Good work!

These are just the cases correct?

Also I never figured out if Titanium is actually the material or 'titanium' is a color

[metalliqaz]

Just the color.

[Halverson]

Kmac is usually the case, plate and pcb.

[okooko]

All these KB's coming in around the same time doing my head (and my wallet in!)

Thanks for the clarifications. I was thinking how baller a full titanium case would be (light and nice color tone and stronk)
A big downer for me is the shipping. from US to AUS isnt easy on the wallet.

[sherryton]

KMAC includes the case, plate, and pcb.  Titanium is the color.

Would love a kmac 2! springs! stickers! and switches! When would this be happening? Also how many would be offered?

It'll happen within this month.  I am not so sure, but it would be very limited.

[singaporean123]

This month? Does that mean there's only 5 days? haha

I see, thanks for all your hardwork sherryton!

[sherryton]

Yes!

I uploaded the pictures to the thread.

[verbhal]

I'd love a KMAC 2 Titanium. Hopefully this can happen!

[singaporean123]

Thanks sheraton, definitely appreciate your efforts. We all know how difficult it is to communicate in a language that we've never used before.

I'm in for a kpad if the price is right 

[TheProfosist]

I want a red KMAC 1.2 please and possibly a silver KPAD (depending on price).

Did you mean itll be going up in january cause thats like super quick. Also where will these be listed, your website?


Do you know if there is going to be a KPAD 2 or 1.2?
Also kinda bummed i cant build for ya, but ive got bothe project going on at the moment.

[Halverson]

And here he is I know you've been dreaming of Kmac 2! Oh wait....want the red instead now?

Awe, the Kmac family. With uncle Proffy

[sherryton]

I might have to do a Pre-Order like the LZ GH.  They will be listed on my web-site. 

No KMAC Pad 1.2/2 (at least I don't think so).  The KMAC Pad as a flat piece is already nice enough, but if they did make a Pad 2, then it would just be slanted.

[singaporean123]

A rough gauge on the prices?

ok well ill give you monies for a red KMAC 1.2 right now then

They could redesign it a bit maybe add a few more key to where the fn switch is. KMAC pad 2 would be a must to go with a kmac 2 non matching cases would be a turn off.

o and you mean this time get the to titaniums to actually match?

what fer reals? Jaw drops on floor

Your going to bankrupt me



BTW is the pcb for KMAC 2/1.2 any different than the original or LE?

[Halverson]

Amg, kpad 2. Wellllll seems as though I have some sweet metals to look forward to

[limmy]

I will bring more Korean aluminum cases, and he will be my provider for Cherry keycaps.

I think you meant..
I will bring more Korean aluminum cases, and I will be providing him with Cherry keycaps.

Anyways.. I hope it goes smoother than the last time. More Cherry keycaps! More solid keyboards!!! I like it!

[TheProfosist]

sherry please run this at least initially exactly how the LZGH was done. As in a set time and date and a limited number per person with money due either at the time of order or very shortly after.

That is actually the plan

[jinhan108]

Would you be willing to ship international?

[sherryton]

Would you be willing to ship international?

Yes, anywhere besides South Korea! (for now)

[jinhan108]

Cool, am definitely interested, though a winkey-version is preferred.

[TheProfosist]

Cool, am definitely interested, though a winkey-version is preferred.

both of them are changeable via blocks

[sherryton]

The following picture is considered winkey.  The bottom most row is 1.5 - 1 - 1.5 - 7 - 1.5 - 1 - 1.5



People who prefer it to be winkeyless would just add the blocks to make it 1.5 - - 1.5 - 7 - 1.5 - - 1.5



Although these are both considered winkeyless layout, they both exclude the Menu key.

Also the block is now a matching color to the case.  I am not 100% sure, but I believe they have changed it.

[MattBuzzy]

These look VERY nice, but I am assuming that one including everything I need to have a working keyboard, would be far out of my price range lol.

[phetto]

It doesnt contain switches or stabilizers, Am I right?

[MattBuzzy]

It doesnt contain switches or stabilizers, Am I right?

You would be correct.

[sherryton]

It doesnt contain switches or stabilizers, Am I right?

Right, but I believe alaric would be able to provide stabilizers for cheap.  Switches would be available via my store. 

Cherry MX Blacks would be $38 for 110 switches and Cherry MX Blue would be around $45 for 110 switches.  I am sourcing browns and reds.  You are looking at $45 for 110 switches for those as well.

If stabilizers are not available, then I will try to source them myself for very little cost.

[sherryton]

What do you mean by that?  I think I am misreading something right here.  The item contains the case, plate, pcb, and all the screws needed.  The package also includes the tool to screw in the screws as well (I hope I am not wrong here).

You do not need to get another keyboard to put in this case.  I believe that is what mkc did.  You had to purchase an aluminum case that would fit the Filco.

[okooko]

Any idea what the ETA on this buy is?

I'm really hoping its in at least a few good weeks time. Just drilled my wallet empty with my interest in the latest LZ GB/Phantom currently ongoing.

I'll be almost over 1k for these last 2 weeks on keyboard related goods haha.

Also good pricing on the switches. Lets hope we can get more variety!

[metalliqaz]

Nice.

KMAC and Cherry.  That store is going to be a doozy!

[phetto]

I missread his comment also

I think what Matt means is that by the time he sees in keyboard at his door, it will be well outside of his budget for such item

[MattBuzzy]

Lol i meant buying switches, stabilisers, soldering flux and a soldering iron haha.

[jinhan108]

Would USD500 be a safe assumption to budget for in terms of KMAC+Switches+Stabilisers+Soldering services+Shipping to say Singapore/Malaysia? i.e. would assume similar pricing to the LZ-GH that is also running?

The approximate pricing is around $385 + approximately $16 (assuming Large Flat Rate for USPS) which would total to be $401.  The original cost was around $360 + shipping which would be about $57.31 via EMS which would total to $417.31.  I would be able to save you guys a little money on shipping because I am bringing them all here together. 

This is only an approximation, and it would be something close to that.

[sherryton]

Lol i meant buying switches, stabilisers, soldering flux and a soldering iron haha.

I reread it, and it makes sense.  This is a slight approximation.

$401 (KMAC 2) + $45 (switches) + $6 (stabilizers) = $452.

I would not really calculate the flux and iron because it is an important tool in the household, but it would cost about $45 extra if you want to include that.  Plus you have to buy a set of my keyset to make the keyboard look cool which would cost an extra $100

Joking aside, it is a little costly in all the final steps.
