Are there any images available for the red and blue case anodizing? Wondering how the gold plated gaskets might look with them. Thanks!

There was a thumbmail-sized image of the red case in the TX thread: https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=86076.msg2408197#msg2408197

Hi Kin,

I sent you a few questions about my order in telegram app. I also have a general question; will this pcb and plate fit in a Dolch PAC case?

Would shipping be cheaper if I were to get just a plate and pcb? (I don't know if I can even do that)  :p

Also, how do I clarify I want a plate that will fit in my g80 case??

Hey Kin,

Was wondering if you can add on the brass weight and brass plate for my order when you're back from break.

Thanks

Hi Kin,

I sent you a few questions about my order in telegram app. I also have a general question; will this pcb and plate fit in a Dolch PAC case?

This has been answered multiple times before. PCB will fit into a G80 case if you desolder the RGB LEDs, TX1800 plate is bespoke, but if you want to retrofit an old G80 case, Kin does make MX1800 plate that is separate from this GB. You will have to ask him directly about those plates, since they're unrelated to this GB

Kin I know you said that the back of the board changed somewhat since your initial prototype, do you have any pictures of the final thing including pictures of the backside and pictures of it using the gaskets all the way around?

From the TX-series post in Artisan Services:

All keyboards I order get delayed this month :(

What is the new expected shipping date for grey TX CP ?

Maybe
10 June
Tx1800v2 R1
Txcp R2

Seems like R1 TX1800 is shooting for June 10 but may be wrong.

option 1 is pretty self explanatory, pick the case color you like. option 2 is the plate type, different types are better suited for different switches, so i've heard. ss is better for linear switches and aluminum for clicky/tactile. unsure about brass. it's also an aesthetic choice too. as for the layout, i guess that depends on your region, ansi is what is generally used in the us, iso used in the uk and elsewhere, universal gives you more switch layout options. option 3 is simply a weight that you can have as part of the keyboard. it makes it feel heavier. you may be able to see the weight on the bottom of the case but i am unsure per the pictures provided. option 4 is pretty simple, just pick how many pcbs you want. you'd want more than one if you wanted to have different switches or are thinking about selling the board in the future and would like to give the new buyer a new pcb for them to put their own switches on. you'd want one at least.

you would need to solder the switches on to the keyboard and purchase switches elsewhere to put on depending on what you like to use. you'll also need to source elsewhere stabilizers for the larger keys depending on the layout you end up going with. 

kin has in his signature his telegram contact info. telegram is a communication application. you should reach out to him if you're thinking about getting into this. he's pretty transparent on the whole process and can help you figure out what you ultimately want.

hope that helps :)

I can personally attest to brass plates sounding lovely with both linear and tactile switches. In fact I would recommend it over stainless steel and aluminum any day!

Will the PCB fit a Dolch Pac case without desoldering the bottom RGB leds? I know you'll have to desolder for a Cherry case.

Nope. He was given a prototype version as a first customer, to tell Kin that if any problems with TX1800v2.

When drop starts, he have to send that red back to kin :)

We haven't get TX1800v2 yet, that red 1800v2 you've seen in kbdlab galley is an exception.

That red is pretty nasty... maybe the pic colours are oversaturated... also, I have a niggling feeling that the gasket doesn't cover the corners. Starting to worry I won't be too into this (I've ordered a red one).

The gasket can cover the entire thing, it's in 8 pieces so you can mix and match between the diffuser

Kin commented about the colour in the post, but I'm not really sure what he was saying...

You might still be able to change your colour though and go for something safer

Speaking of changing orders, hopefully Kin will reply on telgraph soon  :(

That red version on the picture isn't do that justice.

I had a chance to meet KIN in person, I saw that red version.

Whatever you imagine, you will see more than that.

and I think it can't be changed after anodizing is finished.

but I think you will be satisfied when you see that red TX1800v2 in real.

Haven't gotten responses from him on Telegram since late April, but sent a few since then... he was apparently online Friday according to Telegram but it seems those who are trying to get in contact are unable... I don't want to send my payment until I get my PCB stuff sorted out so I guess it's more of the waiting game!
