« on: Fri, 10 February 2017, 09:04:09 »

    HEY GUYS!!!!!
    I have just sent out all the invoices.  :p

    If you have any changes, please PM me.

    Assembly: Assembly cost will be sent in another invoice. Once you guys have your final decision. No worries about this. I will update the form soon. We will let you guys decide in a week.  :thumb:

    UPDATE: White (Plasma Mỉcro-arc Oxidation) will be updated soon. I just got sample from the factory. The cost of white color is a bit more expensive than others. But We will not increase the price this time. It will be limited to 18. FCFS.
    Please PM me if you want to get White (a bit of grey) color. For white color, you need to change/buy more TOP AND BOTTOM. Cannot change/buy more top or bottom separately.

    About Assembly options:

    We can support you with:

    * Switches:

    - All kinds of new Cherry Switches and Gaterons.
    - Zealios Round 5: we can order from Zeal for you, but only arrive in April/May.
    - MOD-H (from Originative): we can order them for you, but we never have them in hand, so we do not know about quality and other things.
    - Cherry Black from Wyse keyboard: 90s vintage cherry blacks. After desoldering, all switches will be cleaned by Ultrasonic, then tune with Dupont Krytox Lube. (mixed 103 and 205)
    - Chery Black from Cherry G80-0577: true 80s vintage blacks, Screw in stabs, fully cleaned and tuned
    - Cherry MX Clears from Cherry G80-8000.

    Old Cherry switches only available for orders with full tuning (lube, spring swap, w or w/o stickers, hotswap LEDs) and not for sale separately. We only use Krytox lube, mixing from 103 and 205.


    * Stabilizer:
     - Original Cherry PCB mount Stab
    - Zeal Transparent Gold PCB mount (need to wait for GB)
    - Sprit Gold Stab PCB mount
    - and we may have some GMK screw stab PCB mount left. We do not test them yet, can not say about the quality and feeling.

    * Springs:
    all kinds from Sprit inlucde steel and gold and winkeyless.kr springs (sorry, no GON spring).


    About timing: We can only start assembling when we receive plates and PCBs from the factory. It means that you have to wait longer than buyers who only order DIY kit. It takes about 2 days for soldering and testing for each board (and longer for the boards that require lubing switches). All keyboards using Zealios have to wait until Zealpc send out Round5. So you'll have to wait 1 week to 4 weeks depends on your order number on the list.

    We will also have a speadsheet to update the assembly process.

    //


    To answer some of the questions you guys had asked

    - Yes you can use custom font for your engraving, just note on the form and I will provide you an email address later and you can send me a picture of your customized design (In fact you can customize it however you want, even a symbol or a logo works

    - The form is now updated, you can edit your submission to make changes

    - SPRiT and winkeyless.kr springs are available for assembly options (Wyse vintage blacks and Zealios are also available, and of course other more common switches)

    - You can send the money to me as a gift for saving money. Please PM me before invoicing.  :thumb:


    REMINDER: I'm still working with the factory for the micro-arc oxidation surface treatment option. If we hit enough orders and the results are viable, we will have a small raffle for all GB joiners to opt-in.

    For founders, you will all get custom sleeved USB cables, maybe some more customized options (I'm still thinking what to add as extra gifts, maybe more to come later...)

    Is "Brown" possible?  It's noted in those sample colors after all :)  Also, the prototype "silver" is a darker silver color, not the regular light silver clear-anodized color?  That is the case, correct?
    (edit: I see brown now!   But no way to edit response to exclude extra engraved plates :( )

    Is there a prototype of the purple? Actually super interested in this.

    Also how does it work with the non detachable cable. Do we decide on cabling options?

    If we want custom engraving, can we provide a vector file? I assume that if we want custom text, you're generating a vector file anyway.

    You can see the sample color picture. ;) I will be like that.
    Non-detachable cable is the prototype!

    Yea! I will update the vector file after GB.

    So it's going to be a grey cable? Also if we're getting the founders edition we're going to be in the raffle for the other colors?

    This is wonderful! I love the bit of customization you have with it, the perfect amount of flare, and personality! It's great! I'm totally geeking out over this, I just really love the fact that you can trulymake this keyboard your own with that little bit of engraving!  ;D

    Just for clarification, is the engraving shown in the picture the default ones? Is that the one we should choose for our own words if we want that font? Or would that be custom? I'm not sure if custom means 'Your own words,' or if it means a new/different font. Any clarification would be greatly appreciated.  :thumb:

    Edit: Jhoang, please forgive me! Jumped to get a founders edition and may have a few changes later, and quite a few engraved add-on's..I hope that's not a problem I just couldn't resist and I need to think of what to have engraved!  :'(

    I'm thinking on getting the assembly option and want to try the gateron yellow switches. I'm just not sure which spring weight to choose.. I'll use the board mainly for gaming and typing.

    Yeah, I would love to buy an additional weight as well so I could have both types.  :(

    Pretty excited about this, hopefully I get one of the founder boards. Also looking forward to seeing how the numpad turns out.

    To answer some of the questions you guys had asked:

    If we want custom engraving, can we provide a vector file? I assume that if we want custom text, you're generating a vector file anyway.


    Just for clarification, is the engraving shown in the picture the default ones? Is that the one we should choose for our own words if we want that font? Or would that be custom? I'm not sure if custom means 'Your own words,' or if it means a new/different font. Any clarification would be greatly appreciated.  :thumb:

    Edit: Jhoang, please forgive me! Jumped to get a founders edition and may have a few changes later, and quite a few engraved add-on's..I hope that's not a problem I just couldn't resist and I need to think of what to have engraved!  :'(

    Yes you can use custom font for your engraving, just note on the form and I will provide you an email address and you can send me a picture of your customized design (In fact you can customize it however you want, even a symbol or a logo works)

    I'm thinking on getting the assembly option and want to try the gateron yellow switches. I'm just not sure which spring weight to choose.. I'll use the board mainly for gaming and typing.


    - SPRiT and winkeyless.kr springs are available for assembly options (Wyse vintage blacks and Zealios are also available)

    Is engraving available only for extra name plates?

    Oh. I will add $2 for custom text on name plates in the kit. Just fill the text in the question of custom text.  ;D

    Already submitted my form earlier, unfortunately--wish there were an option to edit my submission.

    The form is now updated, you can edit your submission to make changes

    Will there be a 60% version of this case?

    Maybe 60% soon after this GB is done  ;)

    REMINDER: I'm still working with the factory for the micro-arc oxidation surface treatment option. If we hit enough orders and the results are viable, we will have a small raffle for all GB joiners to opt-in.

    For founders, you will all get custom sleeved USB cables, maybe some more customized options (I'm still thinking what to add as extra gifts, maybe more to come later...) and 2 of you will get an E2-V1 numpad:

    Oh man, I want that numpad!

    Such a beautiful board. It's painful to have to say no to this. If I were not already in for an Exent, I would definitely be in for an E8-V1 Founders. My wallet can only take so much every month.  :p

    Excellent work on this. I'm looking forward to seeing more from the E-Team! :)

    Should we wait until the end, so we could retain whatever founder spot we have?

    Hey there, I joined, a couple questions:

    1.) Did I make it in the founders edition?
    2.) I ordered 3 custom plates but I'm unsure of the font used - can I update somehow to get a font I would like?
    3.) Do you accept first born children in exchange for the numpad XD

    SO excited to be receiving this!  ;D
