why not doing something more interesting than 75?
75% but
Smart68 arrow cluster
+second set of arrows/nav cluster on the left
Would any of them accommodate an RGB diffuser?
Please no, keep it simple :(
Can you engrave something cool on the weight?Once I figure out what to put, sure.
Would any of them accommodate an RGB diffuser?Accommodated!
Would love to see the controller chip on a seperate board, think Teensy/Adafruit Feather/etc. This would raise the cost, but also means we can add our own controller and write our own firmware. What do you think?Depending on the layout it's unlikely but I'll make sure to use a PCB that supports customization.
WKL 60% please.Done.
Would it be possible to make the 60% keyboards support premade PCBs like the GH60 or NerD 60? You mentioned the lack of cutouts for the USB connection, and I figured that's the only thing you need to modify to fit the 60% PCB standard.60% PCBs are universal so it will support the standard 60% PCB.
Would also be interested in engraving something neato for the weight ^-^
The renders look like it has a steep angle on it -- what's the angle of the board?8 degrees.
HHKB plox

It's already done in another IC by Dotdash32
Yep I pointed out Dotdash just because what he search is the one Dotdash make, yours is a different story all the way, more like KMAC Happy / Viper
I'd be interested in the hhkb, will it support SMD's?

So this is the HHKB finished in my eyes. I had a total of 41 responses to the questionnaire, and 20 peoples favorite was the HHKB. The results I got helped a lot with the design process and the 3rd remodel that I did, so a lot of the things from it are reflected in the keyboard itself. I'm sure there will be minor tweaks but that's it as far as any big edits or design decisions go. However I may reduce the outside fillets to 1mm instead of 2mm, creating a less curvy look, but I'll see how it goes down as it's pretty split. Over the next couple of days I'll be remodeling the 75% layout - it will look the same as this. For now, I'll be working on quoting and seeing what I can do.

Looks absolutely amazing! 1mm instead of 2mm in the edges would look better imo, otherwise as said, great design. Hope you finish this project :D
2 mm is needed for the edges since it will be where the screw holes for the plate will be. If you check out the kmac happy, it doesn't look too bad with the bigger edges
Any possibility of making the angle of the case higher?

This isn't true - the fillets are the curves on the vertical edges. I can change this how I want
Small update from the emails with the shop.
- 6061 will be used over 7075 as the latter is about 20% more expensive.
- The cost increase between different anodizing colors is minimal so perhaps several colors will be offered.
- Colors need to be kept "broad and basic" although any color can be done, providing it's a primary or secondary.
- Laser etching the brass weights is possible with a small percentage increase in price.
- A brushed finish on the weight is possible, along with nickel plating.
- Everything will be done at the one shop, which allows quality control to be at its highest.
- I'm looking at having 25 kits made, and deposits are looking likely.
Do we know how much a kit (whatever is available) will likely be priced at? Rough estimate?
Any idea when you'll start taking deposits? I'd hate to miss out on this

seems like people are confusing fillets for bezels. I'm personally a fan of what you have in the current mockups and think it looks good with that bit of roundedness on the outside edges.

Democracy sucks.Same here man
I want an engraved weight, and visible from outside. :'(
Just noticed the thread name was changed. Will there even be a regular 60% option now?
Any hope of a "96" variant of this case? Loving the design.Hope? Yes. Soon? Probably not. Depends on if this happens and what is most popular next time.
Real excited for your 75% skeleton arriving, and I've been eyeing the zz-96 layout for "my next".
Have you thought about contacting vendors and seeing if they could potentially pick up a couple of orders?I haven't and won't be. It adds another bit of complexity in my mind.
Just noticed the thread name was changed. Will there even be a regular 60% option now?I'm not sure. I have to find the in between of keeping the price down but options open. 60% was about 20% of the total votes, 30% to 75% and the rest to the HHKB layout. I'm putting another questionnaire together right now to cover everything.
ANOTHER BLOODY POLL (http://goo.gl/forms/3XRPHubaiVjDhWyY2)
I'm going to get quotes for:
- HHKB Top
- 60% Top
- Winkeyless Top
- Universal Plate
- Both Sides Weight
- Both Sides Bottom
- Inside Weight
- Inside Bottom
Here is what is definite:
- 6061 Aluminum top/plate/bottom
- Black, Silver, Dark Gray & Red and a wildcard anodizing colors
- Universal, switch moddable plate
- Top mounted plate
- The design
- You chose the PCB
What I'm unsure on:
- Weight design
- Weight material
- Weight engraving
- Acrylic diffuser
- The name
- Pricing
- Place of production (desperately trying for UK)
- Amount available
The main problem here is that people select $300-324 but then select the most technical and expensive weight. A good proportion of that same set of people chose the diffuser and engraving too.
This just isn't possible. It's either no weight/one sided weight with no engraving/diffuser and $300-324 or $400+ fully kitted out. I don't think more than 30 will be made due to demand so that means the price will be higher. Also the UK/EU Referendum kind of screwed the currency so it makes it even harder to have it made in the UK. I'll be looking into having it done at the same shop as a couple other great boards. If this doesn't happen then I probably won't follow through with this due to cost.

I feel like if you want a standard 60%, then you can get that from just about anywhere. Having a good solid case for a HHKB style board is rare, currently the only ones I know of being the Duck Viper and KMAC Happy. This is why the HHKB style should be the first to be made!

Just throwing it out there that a non tray-style 60% is actually quite rare.
KMAC Happy is top/bottom mount; Viper/Eagle/Mini is tray mount, Weaven is slid in and 356mini is mounted with a rubber seal. This would be the 3rd non-tray style 60% from what I know.I feel like if you want a standard 60%, then you can get that from just about anywhere.

This reminded me the Aluminium HHKB case that never happened...Which one? The one from 2013 by WFD?
All of them that never happened :PThis reminded me the Aluminium HHKB case that never happened...Which one? The one from 2013 by WFD?
I hope, that you can make wkl version. Is so uncommon and exciting.
Well it's the 2nd most popular with 25% of the submissions choosing it. I shall make it great again :))I hope, that you can make wkl version. Is so uncommon and exciting.
"MAKE WKL GREAT AGAIN"
Ultimately, I just want this to be made. The options aren't really too consequential to me.
This looks like otd 356mini with HHKB layout......What's wrong with a simple design? Here is a great example of a design that looks like a 356mini:

People may think my pad are like kpad. But if you look closely you can see the difference. Before i introduce my pad to the community i was prepared to hear people say REVO pad are like Kpad. You should do the same here. It doesn't hurt it looks a little bit like 356mini. I just saw someone want to buy 356mini for over 1500 usd yesterday. With otd out of the picture,it may be a good thing and help with the sale. Don' be so sensitive. In end of the day,all that matter is how good is your keyboard. It's all about how you deliver something from the render to the real stuff. People can say whatever they want and it won't stop those who like this keyboard.
p.s I have done a HHKB 60% keyboard in 2014 and it just looks like HHKB....Now i am thinking about it and i feel like a good design...Maybe i'll bring it back.
Anyway good luck with everything,i always love to see more 60% keyboard.

30 cases made
Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/ugMTgjB.png)
Case:Specs:
- Top (HHKB/Winkeyless/60%)
- Plate
- Brass Weight
- Bottom
Anodizing Colors:
- Full 6061 aluminium case
- Top mounted plate
- Brass weight
- 8 degrees tilt
- HHKB, 60% & Winkeyless top parts
- Supports ISO/Stepped Caps Lock/Split Right Shift
- Engraved weight (design pending)
- 30 cases made
Black, Space Gray, Silver, Gold, Red
Price (ex. fees & shipping):
~$330 for the case
Shipping:
An accurate weight is not known, but it's looking around 3kg. All keyboards will be shipped from the United Kingdom. Shipping will be in a seperate invoice.
PCB compatibility:
This case works with any standard 60% PCB, such as the NerD 60, GH60, b.face etc. I will offer a PCB as an optional component.
Other Notable Stuff:
- The brass weight may be electro nickel plated, but if not they will be polished.
- Everything will be machined at the same factory as the TGR boards, so you can use this to gauge quality.
- Deposits are still in the works, as I'm not sure I want to/need to.
- Engraving on the weight will happen, but I'm not sure what the design will be. All I know is that the weights will be numbered.
- I'm using 6061 instead of 7075 as it anodizes better and the additional strength 7075 gives isn't worth it and isn't needed.
- The design may change, but nothing dramatic. The changes will be minimal and I doubt everyone will notice.
- The group buy should be open within the next week or two (definitely by the end of July).
- Acrylic diffuser is a maybe.

Guessing that means I can't get two >.<Maybe, but it depends on how much demand there is.
Do you have estimates for the shipping cost?Not yet as I want to keep it accurate.
I'm in for a 60%. Will I be able to get one unanodized?1. Probably not, why would you? 2. Maybe, depends on if I get any made.
I'll also be getting a steel plate cut for it, any chance you'd share the original vector?
Yay regular 60%. By any chance will these be hard anodized?Working on getting at least one color hard.

One more, LZ-CE.
I'll think about it, not sure how I'd execute it.Because I'm likely to get custom anodizing as I have another project I'm going to have anodized anyhow. It'd be nice to have it raw aluminum rather than strip and reanodize.I'm in for a 60%. Will I be able to get one unanodized?1. Probably not, why would you? 2. Maybe, depends on if I get any made.

So happy I'm in the UK for this one, save a bit on shipping I hope? :DSomewhere in between a Happy and the Apple Space Gray.
Very interested in space grey, how dark will it be exactly?
How soon is soon? I need to start checking if I'll have enough money for everything upcoming in July :)I'd genuinely like to think by the end of the week but allow by the end of the next.
Will the HHKB case fit the actual HHKBP2 or is it designed to fit an MX-based HHKB layout?MX based layout.
One more, LZ-CE.Only top mount option is the KMAC Happy. Non-tray is Happy, 356mini, and the Weaven. LZ-CE is like the Duck 60%, tray mounted.

I need the HHKB case in my life please.

Can't wait for the GB!I can't tell at the minute which makes it super hard. I'm not against doing more than 30 though! :))

Certainly there is way more demand for a board like this! =D
Can't wait for the GB!I can't tell at the minute which makes it super hard. I'm not against doing more than 30 though! :))

The 330$ price tag currently, does that include shipping to you?
I just asked xondat directly, the $330 includes shipping to him.The 330$ price tag currently, does that include shipping to you?
I think so, he wrote somewhere that the shipping to him was pretty cheap.
Shipping to us will be a lot more ghehe.
any idea on the wildcard color :pGold, I chose it silently a while ago. However I might change some to make it a bit more vibrant.

Prototype will be made soon, I don't have the funds at the minute which is why I was throwing the idea of a deposit around.Updated the OP to show the most accurate information.any idea on the wildcard color :pGold, I chose it silently a while ago.

nice, have you done any prototyping curious to see the actual product, also will sales be done through raffle or something :confused:
I think some talented people should be able to come up with some logo ideas. I will set the bar nice and low. The X is meant to also represent HHKB....if you use your imagination.Quite pretty that. I decided to go with text instead :))
I haven't been keeping up with this, ashamed as I am to say. Can the case be purchased separately?

ahh carbon o.O
I don't see anything in the OP about the deposit amount?Deposit amount is $50. I am.
Are you still going the deposit route?
Will it be hard anodized?One color should be at least, I'll be seeing what the quality is like in the prototype.
Same. I had different plans for this board, but I'll be trying for the carbon.You can go for both :))
Will the form be here in the IC?Yes, the form will be here.
Also, will the form update as soon as carbon sold out?
Or is there an option for a secondary choice incase you miss carbon?
(otherwise picking cabron might decrease chances drastically to get one at all O=)

Are those last 3 (that I'm in) reserve spots or something?
Also I see at least 3 duplicate names in there, how is that going to work?The bottom 4 are if someone drops out or if I extend the originals to 40. I was clear that 1 keyboard per form. Why should someone that followed the rules be punished because someone else was late?
Ok, thanks Xondat, here's hoping for that extension to 40 then, or a few drop outs!
Due to extra demand I'll make 40 original instead of the planned 30.
And I think they're all gone.

I have a question: what should I do if I want to change my order from a Carbon Edition to Original Edition? The Carbon Edition looks amazing but I am considering a different case color because I already have a black 60%.PM me here referencing your number and we'll figure it out from there as it will require some jiggling around. Also means you'll be put to the bottom of the list and risk not getting one if I decide not to remove the limit (I'm considering having no limit on the OE).

Quick question about the plate and case top. Is the plate going to be universal or is it unique to each top case?I believe the plates are universal. I think they have been future proofed as well. I could be wrong about the later.

If any acrylic spacer is used, does anyone know if I can use Bluetooth on my GON 60 PCB in terms of transmission and does it have room for a battery?
Extra plates are now available. See notes in the OP for more information.
Anyone else interested in some ANSI only plates? (I really dislike the ISO cluster on universal plates). Hoping I can get some interest and get a few made as well. (if xondat is up for that)
If ANSI only plates were a option I'd definitely be interested.They'd be more expensive than the extras xondat is offering (since we'd have less). Would you still be interested if they were 30-40$? xondat said we'd need to get around 10+ to make it worthwhile.

I won't be using ISO enter, so I'd be OK with the original editions being ANSI.My idea is to have a universal plate, but ANSI only universal. That ISO enter/ANSI enter cut out is horrendous.
I WOULD still need to be universal for other layouts though, obviously with HHKB style, many people will be using HHKB style split backspace and split right shift for function. So I'm not sure what exactly every means by ANSI plate, specifically.

What would you do about the left shift? Iso left shift is used by some people to get a Fn key on your little finger.
It was mentioned on page 3 that switch moddable plates were a definite but as the thread progressed, it seems as though that option was removed from the description. Is that still on the table or was that removed to minimize overall production costs?

Oh snap, LBC Carbon Edition Club. Maybe we should combine shipping for some tiny savings :P
Depending on how busy I am, I may be able to proxy if shipping ends up being crazy expensive.This would be nice for people in US if it could cut shipping price by a bit.

what is this second edition :eek:
Well, yeah I did. I am just unlucky I guess.I'm not sure, but it still looks like there's fours slots left.
Didn't provide an update yesterday because I was taking care of some other stuff, so here it is today:The update that applies to everyone is that: I'm awaiting new quotes for the now 70 from the factory, and I'm also waiting for conformation that we're good to go on the production of the 3 prototypes. The email was sent on the 13th and I'm expecting numbers on the 18th.
- I've extended the standard edition to 30 Original Editions and 30 others, name is pending.
- This means 10 new spots, and with the 2 left over from the originals that means 12. I've assigned 8 of these already to friends, people that I have seen around, and a couple randoms.
- The 4 other spots may be assigned to people that have submitted a form, but as before I can't allow everyone due to limitations. I'm up to 70 which is an insane number.
- Second Edition is just a placeholder name for now. I want to keep the original 30 as I really want the engraving 6/30 and this was the original plan.
Will the color samples be coming with the prototype? :)The majority of colors, yes. I am getting one hard anodized instead of the regular anodizing however.

Will the colour samples be shown before the group buy is over? I'm on the fence about purchasing a case, but if the colours are just right then I may have to.I think they will be made in same factory as the tgr Jane. So you can check those colors
It sounds great and what color of hard anodized you ask for factoy.Dark Gray.

Very sad about it because I wanted it to be my first custom.Will the colour samples be shown before the group buy is over?

Maybe enough people will drop out, but I believe all spots are taken.
There are still 4 spots available that I have no idea what I'm doing with. Maybe charity auctions, maybe giveaways - who knows. For the people that didn't get in: it's highly likely that a few spots will become available as others cannot pay. These will be given out first come, first serve to others that have already filled in a form. If you're in, your name is on the public spreadsheet. If it isn't, then you didn't. I'm sure if I get this right then there will be future rounds and/or editions.
Correct. There will be no transferring of places as I feel its unfair. For example, if #10 drops out, the first Second Edition will be moved to #10.There are still 4 spots available that I have no idea what I'm doing with.

I should be getting final confirmation and an invoice tomorrow for the prototypes. Lead time is ~2 weeks, and with shipping it'll be about the 8th or so.

Hey xondat,The problem with having two plate designs is that instead of 6 options, there are 12. It makes it more complicated and more expensive. Once I get the prototypes and build one, I'll see if I think it's worth making dedicated plates.
Do we know yet for sure if there will be a ANSI only plate option available for the extra plates?
Also, are you still planning to run a buy for a 75% in this style after this one?Yes, if everything goes well then expect around September. Funds from this buy are being used to prototype that too.
I just noticed that the first post updated to list the carbon edition weights as black anodized aluminum. Is there any chance I could swap it for brass or buy a separate brass weight? My preference is the heavier the better.
Can't brass be anodized, or why was it changed to aluminum?Brass nor stainless steel can be anodized which is why it's aluminum. I'm having second thoughts about though so I will either:

From a design perspective, it seems very odd to make a cut out just to replace it with the exact same material in the exact same finish. Defeats the purpose of adding the weight and just adds to the machining cost for no functional benefit and very little aesthetic benefit. That is, if it's going to be black anodized aluminum anyway, leave it as one solid piece. That seems to betray the premium nature of the carbon edition, though.
That said, I understand the all black aesthetic you're looking for, so I'd probably suggest another finishing method for a brass or stainless weight. Powder coat, cerakote, and black chrome plating all come to mind.

Perhaps having a weight that is just inside would make more sense? You get the aesthetic of a blacked out case but still get the weight of the weight inside.
- Absolutely agree with you on this.
- This is why I haven't already made the switch, there needs to be something more than just the plate.
- The only problem with having two different finishes is that it won't be the same.
I think going no weight cutout or non visible from the outside would feel like a downgrade of the carbon version compared to the original.
I wouldn't mind going with a different finish like powder coated at all tho.
Mixed black finishes can look really well imo like mixing flat and glossy surfaces.
Other finish options like nickel plating would be awesome aswell , and while not being blacked out maintain a color neutral aesthetic.
I personally would prefer ditching the full blackout if it is in favor of a more premium solution.
Personally, I would like to have the weight be visible. Maybe you could use a stainless steel weight to differentiate the Carbon Edition from the Original Edition? I think that the silver color would be a nice contrast from the black case. Or is it your goal to have everything blacked out?A Stainless Steel weight instead of the black aluminum weight could work, I like the idea of the contrast. The original idea was to have blackout but this could also work.
Will the Carbon Edition and Original Edition's black color be the same?

Or if you're set on one uniform finish, I guess we just need to do the whole thing in black chrome :) (edit-I know this is unrealistic because black chrome plating is $$$)This would cost far too much to be reasonable, plus the aesthetic would be something that I don't want.
It sounds like the SS weight is the best option for everyone. Is the only deterrent the desire for blackout, or are there cost/manufacturing/other concerns?
Personally, I would probably want to switch from carbon to an original/standard if my only option is the aluminum 'weight'...and I was ecstatic when I found out that I had gotten Carbon #1.
As an aside, what do you mean by purple sliders in your WTB post? Zealios or novatouch?

I'm still uncertain which option to chose tbh.
Stainless could be pretty nice in terms of aesthetics.
However even stainless steel is not fully rust proof depending on the kind of steel, finish etc.
I've seen surface rust on stainless before so I'm slightly scared to vote for raw stainless.
In adition stainless is still less heavy then brass.
Brass is actually really nice but wouldn't make the carbon edition stand out enough compared to original.
In my opinion the only real solution would be to go for nickel plated brass or something similar.
Nickel plating was actually considered a while ago, and this way there wouldn't be any downsides.
You would get color neutral stainless like asthetics, no risk of rust, same wait as brass and an overall very premium feel.
Even if it increases carbon prices it would honestly feel like the best choice to me, since it's supposed to be the premium edition.

What benefits would an ANSI only plate give over the universal plate? I think I know why but would love to get your opinion too.
Would've loved to get in on this xondat. Looks great keep up the good work!
He doesn't allow selling spots it's just hoping you move up the list.Would've loved to get in on this xondat. Looks great keep up the good work!
As would I. Sadly it seems like all the spots are filled. We can always hope that someone wants to sell their kit later or wants to sell their spot.
Have you thought about simply calling it the "Xondat 60"? It's future proof because if you come out with a 75% or whatever, you can just call it the Xondat 75.I don't want to put my name on it. X## is future proof as I can do X75, X65 etc. However when I have different editions it does get quite messy.

I already see the X as standing for Xondat. I like the idea of calling them X60C, X60F, X60S(tandard/second?).Pretty much what I've been thinking but I'd rather it be _____ 60C/60 etc.

I think Mclaren is the great name for 80% board )))You can come up with a neat acronym like KMACAh yes, the **** 60. It will go down as the best named, at least.

Has carbon edition always been SS case?
Changed it :confused:Has carbon edition always been SS case?
No, it should still be a black anodized aluminum case. What you're seeing is an artifact of what used to be there. It previously read black aluminum weight and case and only the material got updated in that line when it was decided to switch to a stainless weight.
So to be clear.........this is closed for entry?All production spots are accounted for, but you're welcome to submit an application and see what happens.
Ah, okay. I got confused when I saw it said SS for a sec, I was like wait wut :PChanged it :confused:Has carbon edition always been SS case?

- Unfortunately I was misquoted originally (brass is expensive), which most likely means there will be a small raise in price for the non-carbon boards and a decent increase for carbon editions. The amount has not been decided yet. All I know is that the price gap between the two types will be bigger.

Mind elaborating on the decent increase for the carbon editions? As the carbon boards are to include SS weights, I'm unsure as to why the larger gap in price.
These figures are completely made up but they should help explain why it will costs more. Everything is put super simply on purpose to make it easy to understand.
A one sentence summary would be: FE/Standard use two materials (1 cheap, and 1 expensive), and Carbon uses three materials (1 cheap, 1 quite expensive, and 1 expensive). Before the weight material change only two materials were used.
To start of, a scale of cost of material:
- Aluminium - cheapest and easiest to work with.
- Brass - considerably more expensive and is a softer material.
- Stainless steel - the most expensive and the hardest material.
- Carbon fibre - quite expensive and difficult to work with.
Colours do not matter - only quantity, material and part. I am not accounting for extras to keep it easy to explain.So in total:
- 250 70 aluminium bottoms - this is the only thing that stays the same.
- 300 70 aluminium top parts (combined) - these cost slightly more due to the differences, but they are priced together.
- 150 60 aluminium & stainless steel plates - this covers the non-carbon editions.
- 300 60 brass weights - expensive material, high quantity and easy to work with.
- 250 10 carbon plates - low amount, expensive material.
- 400 10 stainless steel weights - expensive material, low quantity and hard to work with.
Before the stainless steel weight, we were looking at the aluminium weight being 250, therefore the carbon edition 1050.
- FE/Standard - 250 + 300 + 150 + 300 = 1000
- Carbon - 250 + 300 + 250 + 400 = 1200
Hopefully this explains everything.
confused. The board will cost $1000 for standard edition?
These figures are completely made up but they should help explain why it will costs more. Everything is put super simply on purpose to make it easy to understand.
Are we going to have to wait until you have them in hand to see the pictures?I'll post the first pictures I get. Whether I get any in between now and when I get them is another question I can't answer.
Is it safe to assume that the $50 deposit is going towards the overall purchase price?Yes, you agreed to pay the deposit knowing it was part of the overall cost.
I prefer keeping ss for CE.
The price increase isn't to bad imo, and I mainly picked Carbon because of the different weight.
I'm not a huge fan of carbon plates in terms of looks but decided to give it a try in term of the feels. :D
Thanks for the constant updates and communications, lad.
I'm still playing around with what I want to do with the CE. I could make the brass weight but I'd have to do another poll and risk not everyone being fine with that. If it comes to people dropping out of a CE, or the other ones, due to price then so be it. The list of people that didn't get anything is over 30 at this current point.
Hi can I switch my Founders to Carbon edition?
Wouldn't that depend on Xondat's decision whether it's first come first serve within each cohort or by list prioritization?Hi can I switch my Founders to Carbon edition?
I guess SixtyLife would be 1st priority to CE cuz he is the 1st Founders.
Why not do like the duck boards and do the original 40 first and the next in another batch?Lowers the overall cost and also 70 is nothing to me. The only concern of mine is getting to the PO as I don't drive but I have friends that do.
75 is going to be overwhelming for you.
Xondat, please add that white gamer set to my invoice, pls. Thx.Funny guy :cool:
Unrelated but I didn't want to double post:
There will be no more refunding deposits at least until prototypes have arrived. They may be refunded under special circumstances, but no promises. Your spot may not be sold or traded. If it has been, both parties will be shorted.
If theres enough interest for an ansi only plate, will CE spots be able to purchase an aluminum one?
I get why carbon plates are available only to CE buyers, but I think aluminum should be open to everyone tbh... :D

Do you want an ansi only plate FoC? I was thinking that it seems like most people would only want ANSI from the CE list, but you were the one that jumped out at me. Could we switch CE to all ANSI if nobody in this group needs ISO support?
When talking about an ANSI-only plate are we talking about just skipping ISO-enter compatibility or are we talking about a standard (Filco-esque) ANSI layout only?
In case of the former, I'm interested (though, not at all keen on stainless). In case of the latter, not so much as I want to go full HHKB with split backspace and right shift.

This is the different, the only different between plates would be the enter cluster.
At this point I think it would make sense to have two plates, ANSI and ISO. I'll look into it price and color wise.

I think he's just using that to show the enter change.
I'm assuming it's going to be standard enter, but universal rectangles for ctrl/alt area, spacebar, right shift, and backspace.
I don't really care either way.... it's not like when it's all together you'll have a great view of that part of the plate anyway.I remember what it looked like when I put it together.

Does all the prototypes have been finished? I'm keen to see more production pics of the prototype.The factory that I've paid haven't been communicating to anywhere near a decent standard. I honestly have no idea what is going on. It's now been a month which is ****ing awful.
All prototype parts have been made, there was just a communication error on what colors so I've sent them an email and they know what they're doing now. I'll post pictures if I get any.Had us worried over nothing.
I have had word from the factory that they will send it by the end of next week. Promising information, but we'll see.

Are you still thinking about switching factories or are you sticking with this one?First of all, I have to wait for the prototypes to arrive. If they are of the quality I want, and they can communicate well (which they have been doing) then I think I'll go with them. Production with them has been set for September providing I am happy with what happens between now and when I get the prototypes.
I also will be doing a small run, probably 5 or 10 of Orion V2 weights. If you're interested, shoot me a PM.Just to clarify, this has nothing to do with X60 at all. However I will be making them at the same time as the X60. The weights will be for the Duck Orion V2.
Anodizing samples! I'd say black, red, and silver are pretty hard to get wrong. I've been concerned on getting gold and dark gray right, and with confidence I can say they're going to look great. I'm super happy with the dark gray, read below why.

Now obviously, the Dark Gray is the same color as the QAZ30/M36-A; you can find more pictures here (http://rama.works/#/m36a/). I'd like to thank Rama for letting me use his pictures to show the color. I'm personally very excited on getting my Dark Gray X60. Officially that color is Iron Gray, so not sure if I'll change the name I use, we'll see.

WHAT $800? How do they even have customers at these prices?
WHAT $800? How do they even have customers at these prices?Because usually it's companies getting stuff made? And 800$ isn't that much.
Did the name change?
Did the name change?Yup. X60 is now called 60S, the naming convention will make sense when other projects I finish are released. I'm just thinking of what name I'll run all my stuff under now.
Prototypes have actually been sent to be anodized today... He said a week, maybe. At this point I don't want to deal with the 1st factory any more, but I have to. I've contacted the 2nd factory to see how quickly they can get a prototype to me, if it's quicker than 2 weeks then I'll be raising a $2000 deposit to pay them ASAP. I don't want to sell much of my stuff (although I probably will have to) as I only have around $500 in savings, so if anyone wants to pay the rest of their order off let me know - I was thinking a $25 discount or free extra plate but perhaps some sort of discussion can go on if people want. :confused:
I'm so sorry for how long this is taking, it's almost embarrassing, and it hasn't helped me in the slightest. I really want to just see something actually happen with it, and it gets me even more excited thinking someone else can have one. Luckily I'm having 3/4 different projects prototyped along with the 60S production, so there won't be any waiting for prototypes if I do anything else.
Production time is 2-3 weeks, and shipping is 3-5 days. I'll be required to pay an initial, 50% payment in order to get a prototype (which will be #4), confirm that production can go ahead and then pay the 50%/shipping once they're finished production.Just a note on this, it is no longer 50/50 but to make it easier on me, we decided to do $2000 and then pay the rest off after production.
This will get sand blasted prior to anodizing right?
What are you going to do with the prototypes?Either do a charity auction, or keep them as memorabilia.
Would anyone wanna sell their black 60% founder's edition? Highly interested and PP ready.Putting it out there again, if someone else's their spot, the buyer and seller will both lose out. It isn't fair on the people that signed up before someone comes along willing to buy out a spot. :rolleyes:

Is it a full kit with weight?
What board are you putting in it?
Much hyped! =DI'm so excited too. This is what I've been working on daily since June 1st, so it means a lot to me.
Dont think Ive been this stoked for a board before tbh!
Shot you a pm a while ago btw xondat, not sure if you received it...
ahh can you throw some caps on it?Of course, I'm hoping my Hyperfuse set will be here soon, but I have a blank/black set so will throw those on.

Was it ever decided if there will be a ANSI only plate option?I need to clarify if I can because they changed their laser cutting factory, there was problems with the MOQ last time but it should all work itself out. If I can do ANSI only plates, I'll have half plates as well.
Package is with the courier. Next post from me will be pictures.
Go for both. :DPackage is with the courier. Next post from me will be pictures.
So hyped. I don't know if I should pray for a spare X60 to pickup or wait for the Duck Viper V2. HELP!

But seriously, if you prefer light effects go for Duck Viper v2. But if you prefer flexibility(moddable plate, universal pcb support) go for x60.

Looks amazing. You have any pics without the weight in?
Do we have updated timelines anywhere?Working on it now.
Also what camera do you use?Canon 6D!
Pictures are so crisp
Xondat,Yes and no. I'll be using the same place as LeandreN, and I've previously had one of his carbon fiber plates and it was great. I won't have chance to inspect/approve my design, only when the 15 or so I'll order get to me. If they aren't to spec then (usually) the factory will correct it, if not, then I know of another place that can do it.
Are you going to get the chance to inspect and approve the Carbon plates? IIRC you had mentioned that the plates were being made in a different factory.
Nice job!! Dark gray looks awesome. Will the brass weight be polished and have logo or letter engraved. If yes it'll be cool.See the OP for full details on every edition :))
Love the sample!! Really nice job you've done, Xondat.
Ready to pay the $375 for standard edition but just to be clear, is the total cost for standard edition $50 deposit + $375?
When I checked my order in the Google Spreadsheet, I saw "PCB" on the right. Does that mean that I ordered a B.face PCB as well? If so then it justify the price.

Hi Xondat, I will have to relinquish my spot. Some changes, although good, have forced me to cut back on my spending powers. Please give my downpayment to charity or, if you're making losses on this project, use it to cover those.
All the best to you, the pictures are looking great :)
I do mind. Please post more!More pictures on Saturday when it's built unless I can find something else to take a picture of.
I might be willing to take on your spot, if that's what you're implying
If someone drops out, it goes to the 1st person that missed out that's in the queue, not whoever they choose, jsyk :))
I should count how many times I've had to say this
xondat, after you assemble it could you do a typing video? Thanks!Sure - it will be 67g Zealios in the aluminium plate and Gateron Blacks in the stainless steel plate.
Looking great, Xondat. November can't come fast enough! As my first child is expected in the same month, this is going to be an amazing November :thumb:Congratulations! On the baby, of course.
Hey xondat, could take a picture comparing the sizes of the bottom bezels of the X60 and HHKB?I'm making pasta now but yeah I can later.

If you are looking for the HHKB layout, stay tuned for the next round of Viper/Ealge from Duck. Have a look at the last GB thread, this might be a great alternative for you. I was super desperate for the X60 for it's WKL layout support. Not too common in chunky aluminium 60% ...

Should be okay. IIRC the NerD60 doesn't have a button to reprogram but makes you hold down a key instead. You might run into troubles if you plan on using bluetooth though

I want hard anodizing, but I also want a grey case.
Can someone please explain the pro's/con's of soft vs hard? Aside from the different treatments, is one more 'black'? Is soft prone to more wear/discoloration?As far as I know the anodizing is thicker so it's harder to scratch. I'm not too educated on it honestly and I'd be quite happy having no hard anodizing.

Type III is slightly harder and significantly thicker than Type II. Colors for Type III will be much more muted, but black should be equally black between the two if it's coming out of a good shop. Some type II anodizing will come out purplish depending on the dye that's used.
Does the shop that will be producing the cases even offer hard anodizing?Yes.
Okay. Well, I mean it's not a absolute deal breaker if grey isn't available with hard anodizing, but of course I'd really, really prefer it to be.Does the shop that will be producing the cases even offer hard anodizing?Yes.

This is where we're at at the minute...
Also I'm very tempted to ditch the universal plate and have ANSI or ISO plates (or run the 3 but that'll be even more complicated). The more I work on the plate, the more I come to dislike the ISO cluster. Thoughts everyone? I know the ANSI only plate is what people want so, also, very tempted.

ISO is very important to me.
If you are having issues witi the large cutouts, just get some PCB mount switches for the larger cutouts/stabilized keys. They will align perfectly even without plate guidance. Dropping ISO alltogether would be a big disapointment for me.
there's better functionality as well, as ansi only or iso only plates allow for the enter switch to clip into the plate for additional support and stabilityISO is very important to me.

This whole ANSI cutout only debate is completely about aesthetics, not about functionality.
Frankly, it doesn't bother me, having large cut outs. It's not like you'll be looking at the board without keycaps anyways
I adressed that concern in the post you quoted. That affects almost the whole bottom row as well as right shift and split backspace cutouts.it doesn't affect the bottom row nor the right shift/backspace cutouts, as switch housing clips in at the top and bottom, not on the sides. even if one goes with pcb mount, there is inconsistencies in peg thickness which can cause switches to be slightly rotated without plate support.
ISO is very important to me.x60 uses a proprietary plate, you won't be able to use any universal plates with it

Ps: wil the case be compatible with the JDCCarpe plate available through LeandreN's current GB?

Not sure which PCB mount switches are giving you alignment issues but I've been using harvested Cherry MX switches in all non-1u cutouts for a few builds now with great results and I am very concerned with switch alignment. Cutouts that allow either one stabilized or two non-stabilized keys generally provide insufficient guidance for plate mount switches if you ask me. The stabilizer spacing just leaves half a switch free. Same with bottom row and multiple space bar stabilizer options.it's not just the switch, there are inconsistencies in the peg hole sizes of pcbs. GON nerd60 pcbs tend to have larger peg holes than FaceW for example. I've also noticed that newer cherry switches and zealios tend to have thicker pegs than vintage cherry switches. one of my builds mixed vintage pcb mount cherry switches with nerd 60 pcb and the side pegs were too skinny to even hold the switches in place and definitely failed to keep switches in alignment without a plate

I don't see xondat dropping support for ansi or iso especially after people have made payments with the expectation that the plate will support both. It would just be nice if we got to choose on an individual basis ansi only, iso only, or universal.

This worked great for me on Leeku1800, b.face, JD45, OLKB, oddforge PCBs so far. Still have some GON60 PCB waiting to be built from last LeandreN round so I don't have any experience with them yet.
If PCB mount switches fall out of your PCB you might want to report that to the designer/manufacturer. Maybe it's become too unpopular to do PCB mount builds for PCB designers to care but for stabilized keys and multi-layout plates they have become very important to me.
I mean if there's going to be ANY plate with ISO support I am fine. Dropping it now in a majority vote would be a major kick in my face though, that's what I was worried about. See comments above more as a "Use PCB mount switches for any cutout >1u" statement than an ISO vs. ANSI plate argument.
To clarify, there would be ANSI or universal, or another option would be ANSI or ISO plates. I'm not dropping ISO support. This is purely an aesthetic decision.

The only thing that will change would be the ISO/ANSI enter cluster. It is simply ineffective to have lots of different plates for the large range of possibilities with the layouts.
I know these screenshots are for X75, but here is the difference. Please only pay attention to the enter cluster, these plates haven't been cleaned up yet.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/Mn7YO8t.png)

ISO
So much arguing
Can't we all just agree that ISO is useless and ugly?
I'm thinking of ANSI and universal over ANSI and ISO.
To clarify where we're up to:
- Anodizing: I am currently figuring out demand and the price increase if I do offer hard anodizing. I'll extend the time period to switch colors/anodizing when I know what's happening.
- Plates: Talking to my contact about having 2 plate options, I should know tomorrow morning once I submit the final files.

Really hope hard anodizing is not going to be canceled for CE, especially because carbon editoners don't have the chance to switch colors.
If a color that I can't select ends up beeing hard anodized I would honestly regret going with carbon.

Something that was never confirmed can't be cancelled so don't worry about that. I'm on my way home so when I do get home I'll explain how I feel about hard anodizing. Its a tough decision to make for multiple reasons.

I'm backing whatever you think is a good idea. I joined without thoughts of hard anodizing and it will not effect my opinion either way.
It was never confirmed for CE...I believe is was deduced that CE would be hard anod as you said black would be hard anod. As CE buyers only have the option for black, it would make sense to assume CE would be hard anod.
If I go with hard anodizing, I will have to make it available for both Black and Dark Gray to satisfy the largest majority. I will not be supporting hard anodizing in the future, and this will be a one time thing that I will do only because a few people are making me feel guilty; I don't want to run hard anodizing. It makes things much harder for me overall, and there is absolutely no need. There will always be someone to say it's not fair if I don't offer it to the color they chose.
If I do run it, I'm not willing to run hard anodizing without having examples from the factory as it's harder to do than regular anodizing. This will add about a month onto the whole group buy, it will also take away from the funds I've dedicated to emergencies to pay for said examples. Since the cost for hard anodizing is also higher than regular anodizing, it will eat into funds dedicated to emergencies thus making this riskier. I also might not be satisfied with the hard anodizing, and not chose to run it which will be a waste of time and money.
Thoughts will come and go on how I feel, but I'll dump them here when I think of them.

On the basis of this i vote to remove hard anodizing as an option. I didn't expect it when i entered into the group buy so i do not really see it as a loss if you decide to remove it as an option now.+1
There was recent mention of it but why that is being taken as a confirmation is confusing to me.
Black will be hard anodized.Did you receive the confirmation if what case color should be hard anodized?I'd like to know this as well
I really don't think the hard anodizing is necessary. From the get go it was not supported. There was recent mention of it but why that is being taken as a confirmation is confusing to me. I think the best option is to keep the group buy on track and how it was originally planned.
Yay regular 60%. By any chance will these be hard anodized?Working on getting at least one color hard.

Is Carbon edition going to be universal?
I remember people discussing if all people into CE would prefer ansi, so it could just be done complete ansi only.
Would prefer ansi but don't really mind either way, just wondering.

Sorry my bad, you get to chose.
Wow, this is very awesome, both the material looks and design...Thanks. My next board will be X75 (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=85106), and X65 afterwards so there are currently no plans for this style in a 80% or 100% layout.
Do you also made it for 87 and fullsize
I'm not the fans of hhkb layout, that makes me sick when typing... but this is great
Would you consider doing a 65+10 layout like this:Would I consider? Yes. Would I do it? Probably not. It would require PCB development, I'm trying this for X65 so we'll see how it goes, but I'm personally not keen on that layout.Show Image(https://massdrop-s3.imgix.net/product-images/redscarf-78-custom-mechanical-keyboard/MD-21599_20160614120104_4f979c415ae0f161.jpg?auto=format&fm=jpg&fit=crop&w=1023&dpr=1)
That's a favourite layout of mine and would look awesome in the X-line.
Calling out to any plate specialists out there. Is there a difference between the aluminum and stainless plates in regards to feeling/sound? Or is it only an aesthetic choice?The flex is the main thing, the SS plate barely, if at all, flexes whereas the aluminum plate is easily flexed.
Do I need to message you anything if I want to keep everything the same with ansi plate?Not sure I follow.
I don't need any change. Sorry.Do I need to message you anything if I want to keep everything the same with ansi plate?Not sure I follow.
If there is a change, I need to know.
Up to date again. Few things to mention tonight::)
- Final changes for everything will be 23:59 10/16/2016 BST.
- I haven't forgotten about engravings, but I have been working on the design and fonts with my person. I'm happy with everything but we are still finalizing everything, hopefully I have it done by tomorrow night.
- I've finalized the design of all files and I'm just waiting on confirmation from the factory that all is good. This means production should start on Monday.
- Numbers haven't been finalized for slots or plates, mainly because I want to open more spots open, but again, I'm waiting confirmation from the factory that this is okay. There are currently 4 spots open, but I want to extend to either 75 or 100 overall.
- Will be getting a prototype for X75, X65 and a newer project. This will all be with the 70+ X60s.
What's the status for hard anodizing?Don't bet on it. I'll make my mind up for certain tonight, but it's looking like no hard anodizing.
It was never really disclosed afaik...

I understand and was almost expecting no anod by now, but I'm still hoping tbh.
I just feel like it would add so much to the quality feel and longevity of the board that it's sad to ditch it.
Totally wouldn't mind waiting more or paying extra for it personally.
Paid!I noticed that too... Only just got my email confirming my payment for the bro sale :-\
Paypal is terrible with emails today, maybe log in and check if you want to pay in time!

Currently waiting on the engraving designs and then we'll head into production. Changes can still be made, but get it done ASAP otherwise it may be too late (can't provide an actual deadline as it might be very sudden). Several slots are still open, so the form stays open as I fill them up.
Stayed up till 2am for my first slot and now there's slots freely available ... don't tempt xondat ...
Pretty sure those keyboards can be sold with a profit ... unfortunately, that's not how it works for me. Never sold any of _my_ keyboards.
That's how I see it too, but I don't want to be a :dolphin:.
I just finally started cleaning house and reducing the number of boards I have..

Don't you want a baby brother for that Mech27?
I see some Purple and Dark Blue on the order sheet, are those new anodizing colors ?
I see some Purple and Dark Blue on the order sheet, are those new anodizing colors ?The public spreadsheet happens to be where I track all colors for all the parts etc. They aren't open to anyone ^-^
What? I just got an email canceling an invoice?I'll resend it, I forgot PayPal was being iffy for some people still.
I didn't even know I had received an invoice :'(
Dropping in to say that I'm still waiting on the engraving. I've asked my contact if we can start production on all parts but the weight, so I'm waiting (:rolleyes:) for his reply. I hope everyone can understand why I'm holding back; certainly don't want to engrave a design onto close to 100 boards that I don't like.
Just curious, is everything still set to be completed in November?As in me having parts on hand? Yes, but every day I spend making the engraving perfect, 1 more day is added as a "delay".
We'll start production on everything but the weight to minimize the timeline. Should start around 24 hours from now. I'll be sending a few invoices out today too.

tfw I check the thread and see that purple cases are being madeShow Image(https://media.giphy.com/media/MGUjbUMBgSD2U/giphy.gif)
excited for mine though :)
The 60% as noted above is still available. If you don't want the PCB and/or one of the plates then that's fine, not too bothered as I want an extra plate :rolleyes: Please PM me your PayPal address and noting that you're interested if you are.
Two slots up for grabs:You cannot change the options as the order has already been placed with the factory. PM me if you're interested in either spot and you can pay immediately.
- HHKB in Black with ANSI Stainless Steel and ANSI Gold plates
- 60% in Dark Gray with ANSI Stainless Steel and ANSI Red and a PCB
Side note, production is going well, no issues reported so far.
I have someone wanting the PCB, and another wanting the ANSI Gold plate, so whoever wants the 60% Black case with a ANSI SS plate then it's yours, but you can have whatever options are available (if that makes sense).

the upper quote had said the Black case was HHKB and 60% was Dark Grey but why the last post is saying the Black case is 60%.I just can't read ^-^
or the last one is the third slot.
What type of timeline are we looking at for an X75? Trying to plan ahead. :)After the first 40 ship from this I'll probably open it, definitely want to have it open this year. Very soon unless something goes terribly wrong (not sure what).

All 100 spots are now taken. No more will be made. I will personally have 11, I'll definitely be keeping my personal 06/30 FE, although I probably will sell the others later on.
Good to hear! Any idea on when we might expect pretty weight drawings/renders? :p

Hoping this arrives around when the zeal60 does!
Any idea on when we might expect pretty weight drawings/renders? :pHopefully by Sunday night, depends on how busy my designer is.
And is there an update for the new projected shipping date?Until the weights are in production, no. All depends on how quickly I can get the files from the designer now.
The question from me: will the engraving be on the top of the weight or the bottom?There will be X60 on the bottom, and the details will be on the other side, inside.
Any updates?See above ;)
Can I add additional plate at this time?No as they've been ordered/made, sorry.
With the design of the weight not finished yet, how long would it add up to the timeline? Is it safe to say we can't get the case shipped before end of the year?

Oh man, don't say that. That's just upsetting. D:
Surely I'm not the only one that ignores GB timelines? :PGB timelines are like election pledges; luring the unassuming, never to be kept. Fun to watch post-buy though
**** ignore me
Whilst I don't have the weight engraving set in stone, I won't be setting a timeline. Once I announce it and have it approved for production, it will take 2 weeks to make all 100, allow a week for shipping and then another week or two for me to ship all out.
All parts have been machined, anodized, and prepared for shipping now. They're just waiting on the final weight design, as we all are.

With the projected time frames, we're looking at 5 weeks at the minimum if the design was to be approved today. As that lands us right in the middle of the busiest shipping period of the year, it's likely that this board wont be arriving till early next year.

My apologies for the extension on the wait. I really want to get this right, and I hope everyone understands that.
I did get some "renders", but it's in a layout I've since changed from, and it was just a mockup so it isn't really worth too much.
I'm thinking of giving away some items via raffle as an apology-sort-of-thing. So far I'm thinking 10 cables by Pexon (and you can choose the options), maybe some stabiliser sets too? Post your suggestions and I'll try and pull some stuff together; nothing too expensive, aim around $10-50 (less expensive = more items, more expensive = less items)!

This is the layout I'm going to stick with. I think I'm going to have the spacing matched for the inner engravings, and make sure the X60 is identical on both sides. Obviously it's a mockup so it's slightly wonky. Also not sure on whether it should be "Limited to 100" or "Limited to 100 cases", so comment on that too.
I'm going to have each design prototyped and shipped with all parts and then approve the full production instead of taking the gamble and hoping it looks nice. Unfortunately this will push it into shipping next year, which is obviously a disappointment, but I don't want to screw this up. Thanks for the continued support and patience.
I haven't been following this for a while, is Noxary the manufacturer?Noxary is me and my work. It's easier to understand when you draw a comparison, so Keyclack is jchan; TGR is yuktsi; and RAMA WORKS is Rama.

Are you referring to the padding around the X60 branding or the positioning of the branding. Of its the prior, yes, I think the padding around X60 should be identical on both sides. If you're referring to the positioning, an offset X60 logo will look odd without the text on the left.I meant the spacing of the text, as the NOXARY is more spaced out compared to the other text.

I think the letter spacing is ok, I would however change the font weight of "NOXARY". Perhaps add a little weight to emphasize the branding.Are you referring to the padding around the X60 branding or the positioning of the branding.

Glad to see an update on the weight design! =)
I'm sorry to bring this up, but to be perfectly honest I'm not a fan of the font used and the way it's layed out tho.
I think a slightly wider an less tall font would work a lot better with the width of the weight, especially on the bottom side aswell as look more aesthetically pleasing overall.
Imo placing the logo off center on the bottom following the golden cut/ratio could improve things aswell.
To me it looks like a pretty square logo slapped in the middle of the rather long weight.
Just my two cents of course, so if no one shares my opinion I'm ok with that.
Not trying to cause trouble here just my honest opinion.
Incase it's appreciated I would gladly create a mockup of what I'm imagining in terms of layout.
I think a slightly wider an less tall font would work a lot better with the width of the weight, especially on the bottom side aswell as look more aesthetically pleasing overall.If you could demonstrate this in paint or something, that'd be great.

I agree. Off center bottom logo.As above, a crappy paint mockup would help here in visualizing it.
Maybe left aligned inside text without variable spacing.

Sure! Here's a quick and dirty mockup, to illustrate what I was refering to. :)Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/69bQh3N.jpg)Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/a0L2fQT.jpg)
Im personally not a big fan of the off center logo. But widening the inner lettering seems like a good idea.
Only thing im worried about is the increased time. Xond spent quite a while finding the one he likes, and he landed on this one which is pretty nice to be honest. Im a fan of the design and the logo, but the widening for the inner weight seems like a decent idea.

The off center logo comes down to personal preference I guess.
My main point was going with a wider font / letter spacing to fit better with the huge horizontal space of the weight, just as you mentioned aswell.
Heres a centered version for refference :)Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/lIEmLIr.jpg)

The things that can change is the weight, the spacing, and the layout of the text. I'm not a fan of the offset X60, it just looks out of place and holds no purpose. Thanks for the mockups.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/69bQh3N.jpg)Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/a0L2fQT.jpg)
Can I make a small suggestion?I don't think stretching the font would look as nice; perhaps increasing the spacing to give the appearance of a longer font may work. I'll come back with some alternate spacing and give that a go.
For my it seems to me a little unnatural arrangement of the font stretched vertically on such big horizontal space, it may cost a little stretch horizontally?Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/TFeiK21.png)
Im personally not a big fan of the off center logo. But widening the inner lettering seems like a good idea.3 months in and I found the font (and complete design) I like, so I think spacing is the one thing that can change at this time.

When do you expect to see a final prototype of the weight xondat?I'll send over the feedback I got here and get a final design soon, hopefully. After that it's a 1-3 week sample production. The sample weights will ship with the finished parts, so up to 4 weeks from when I get the final design I'd say.

This would be clean as hell with xondat's typeface. And do something like Carbon Edition 01/10, Founder Edition 01/30, Standard Edition X/100 so it keeps the same form but standard isn't numbered (use xondat's X he uses in Noxary and X60)

Typography 101 - Never distort a typeface. Adjust letter-spacing, kerning, and weight... If that still doesn't do it, find another typeface.

I'm also a fan of that design, and I'm not even in this GB. :))
Btw is this going to have a diffuser?
A whimpy diffuser is just going to save weight. I bet it there was a way to do it, xondat would have made this keyboard out of cast iron.

Nah, nickel alloy :p
Progress is looking good! I really like that logo that everyone is liking above.
Hard anodizing is amazing and it's nice to see it go this way. Can't wait to see a new prototype from the new manufacturer since I'm sure you want to see their quality before running full production!
Good luck Xondat :D
If anyone wants to swap their Black or Gray HHKB case for my Black 60% case then let me know.
The chances are slim but it's worth a try!

Clean as **** - I love it. I'll have this made/mocked up on the weight, and this will most likely be the engraving.

I say keep it simple with your future projects. There is definitely a place in the market for it and would help to differentiate you from other brands/manufacturers.
That the X60 lacks a diffuser, silly pin hole LEDs and weird shapes is what sold it for me. I don't want a keyboard that can be seen from the moon; I want something subdued, refined and pretty.

I don't want a keyboard that can be seen from the moon; I want something subdued, refined and pretty.
My first two projects (X60 and X75) were always meant to be simple, clean, and just functional. The aesthetic is that it's simple. I'll always have these simple designs as they're just perfect, and how I like them.
If anyone else has seen the FMJ cases (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=47067.0), I've been thinking of doing something similar so I don't "ruin" the simple design. By that I mean I'll have the clean design, and then I'll have an "all-out" version that involves diffusers, more experimental weights, maybe interchangeable parts (different bottom pieces). Nothing has actually been put into CAD yet, but I have a list of things I'd like to do yet wouldn't want for my case, so this would be a good opportunity to experiment whilst maintaining what's important to me and others. X65 may be the first to see this, which is why it was brought forward, but there needs to be a redesign to incorporate more, and there is more development on the PCB side so it's hard to say what will come next.
I think xondat said he ended up deciding to do x65 before x75
Sounds good. Is the x65 coming after the x75?

Any chance of x65 supporting split spacebar? :)Maybe on my version of the PCB, but the other one is too full.

I don't actually know yet.
X75 needed a remodel as I messed an early number up, and X65s PCB is being redesigned (expected January) so I need to change a few things with the case to incorporate the new PCB features. Factors that'll come into which happens first: how I feel, what the market wants, which is finished (if it is), X60 fully shipped, and probably some other stuff too.
I'm feeling seventyfive-y

Looking good there Xondat! This is definitely the keyboard of the year for me.
Would you say the Dark Gray is more of a lighter or darker shade IRL? And do you think that Hasu's Alps64 PCB will fit into the case? I know any other plates won't be compatible but I think I can work on that.
Alps64 should be compatible, the button and USB port placement is essentially the same as any other 60% pcb.
Did you get an hhkb x60 btw? I'm thinking of doing a mini gb for an alps hhkb plate for this case

Ah that's great to hear :)
Sounds awesome! I didn't get an HHKB though. I've got a 60% and planning to build it with my Dell 101 caps. Would be great if you could make it happen in your GB!
I'm still not sure if an Alps plate is possible though, since this isn't a tray-mount case we'd have to use the right thickness for the plate. Normally an Alps plate is about 1.1mm thick so I don't know if it will work properly with a 1.5mm plate (assuming this is what X60 uses).

Carbon fiber plates are ready to be made, and will be with me in a months time. There was a lot of trouble getting the appropriate file type, but leandren made it happen today, so thank you.
Engravings should start production this week, I'm just waiting on the .SVG files from my designer, M,
so that I can send them to the factory. I'll be having prototype weights made just to get the engraving depth to what I want. Those will ship with all other parts, which are finished and ready to be shipped. Once I get the parts, I'll approve the engravings, and they'll enter production.
X65, T60, and N60 samples/prototypes will also ship with the production engravings if anyone is interested in those. You can keep upto date on those projects here (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=82653).
Any pics xondat?I'll see if they took/can take any.
What's the new ship date for the cases at this point? Late January?Uh, something like that - allow more however. I don't want to say too much (so I don't go back on myself) but once we're in the last stage of production, and only waiting for production, I can give a timeline. I apologise for the wait and vagueness, but I don't want to misguide anyone.

Just curious. Has the shop already done quality control checks on all the Anodization jobs, or is that something that you will look at when you receive them, or will both happen?Both. I'll be inspecting each part and making sure they're clean as can be. We're in agreement that anodizing quality should be perfect, so any parts that aren't up to a high standard will probably be remade, it's hard to say without doing it though, so I'll keep everyone updated when I get the parts.

- Uhh.. If I can get the issues resolved before new years, then mid February? I'll be unsure until stuff is in production. Machining is 2ish weeks, shipping allow 1, and then another 3 for actual weight production.
- Yup.
- They're all packaged up and ready to be sent - just for pictures, it isn't worth opening boxes etc. I asked previously but it isn't worth the effort. Sorry.

Managed to squeeze some pictures as they're repacking into crates. The Gold turned out much nicer than I was expecting.
Edit: The factory took these pictures!! Should ship to me before CNY.
Edit edit: Dark Blue and Purple were tests fyi.
So I'm probably the first to get a new set, and I've just put it on my board.
Initial impressions are very, very good. They look and feel better than GMK; all the legends are fantastic quality. The color is really nice too.
I'll take some proper photos in daylight tomorrow (dark at 4PM :rolleyes:), I hope the above picture is good enough for now.

I'd recommend a JTK set if you're still looking for a nice combo. I'm falling in love with this pairing.
I'll be sorting through PMs and form entries for the next hour or so.
On the submit swap form, there was no option for the steel plate, so I chose ANSI Silver.I knew I forgot something! I'll add that now. Can you resubmit please?
I'm looking to swap my Gold aluminium plate for a steel plate.
For the swaps, is order number the row number or the number to the right of the username? I submitted with the row number, let me know if that's wrong please!Row number = order number.
Oh geez another black hhkb order available.
Can't decide if I'd prefer two hhkb cases for me and my gf...
Form filled for #91!
Rip wallet xD
Are the entries highlighted in cyan still available?I removed the cyan, but at the time yes.
I think I messed up someones plate order, but I want to double check so I've PM'd everyone that the potential accidental swap may apply to. Nothing to worry about, if it is just a simple swap then no fuss. If it isn't a swap, and I messed an input into the spreadsheet up, then I'll have a few more plates made. I'll give it a few days, but if I do decide to have more plates made, I will open orders for additional plates up for a few days.
All invoices I sent out have been paid for now, which leaves 4 custom colors and potentially another order that'll be up for sale (#49). Going out now, but I'll be sorting all of it in an hour, or next year :rolleyes:.
Happy New Years all.
So, with all this accounted for, would extra plate production push back the shipping date or are we still looking at like late Feb?It shouldn't delay, but I'll just ship them separately if it does.
Going to spend all of day checking invoices vs the spreadsheet as a couple of mistakes have popped up.Sounds fun... :-X :'( :-*

Finished the spreadsheet too. The problem was that I didn't keep a "master", so information was spread everywhere. If you've received a PM, it's because I discovered a problem, but there were only a few. I'll have a new public spreadsheet up soon.
I did make an input mistake on someones plate, so there will be some more plates made, so I'll add a form up in a bit so anyone can order more plates (or PCBs, I have a few spare). Timeline for those means they should be made with the production weights, thus shipping with your order.

Hey Xon, out of curiosity, will you have spare ANSI Carbon Fiber plates available? They seriously look amazing.
Really regret not ordering a red HHKB, but hopefully the blue one will be available for grabs. If not, I hope I can grab a plain colored HHKB and get it reannodized to red. Fingers crossed!
Why is the spreadsheet down?I had to redo everything as I had some information that was incorrect on the public, and the private spreadsheets were spread out everywhere. I'll get a new one up soon, just figuring some extra stuff out behind the scenes.

I was thinking of sending them assembled anyway, so each person might be able to see a picture of their board(s) put together beforehand.

I've had my lubed 62g gateron blacks with zealio clear bottom, zeal60, and zeal transparent stabs ready for a while now too.
Can someone explain what the AVR USBasp thing is?

Order #32 is up for sale. I'd highly recommend jumping on this as it's in the best configuration. HHKB in Dark Gray with an ANSI Red plate. Price is $350 + fees. Please PM with subject line "Order #32", please also include your PayPal email address so that I can invoice you. :thumb:am I too late? :eek:
P.S. I should've noted this will turn into a standard, and not stay a Founders Edition.

I'll be sorting the reinvoicing in an hour or two.
I'd also like people to contact me if they still have a deposit that hasn't been refunded yet and they didn't get into the group buy.

It's only people that request it :)
Already paid the other invoices, can you let me know when you refund the original one? :)
On a side note, got any neat pictures from that meetup?
Might extra plates (particularly those stainless steel ones) still be a thing?Doubt it. Maybe with X75 production and with a MOQ of 25 or something like that but I'm not sure if that'd hit.

That's a bummer! Any chance you'd be willing to release the plate CAD files so we may get Stainless Steel plates made if we ever want them?
I would've loved a Carbon plate too, but understand those were only for the founders, sadly. I heard Carbon fiber sounds and feels nice to type on. :(

Probably won't - I'll gauge interest for extra plates in a week or two and see where it goes.
Only for Carbon Editions, not Founders. Future X models won't have the CE as I think it's really nice to type on - nicer than aluminum or stainless steel.

Sorry, not following Xondat... you think carbon fiber plates are the nicest feel for typing but won't be offering them on X75, etc downstream...?

I won't offer Carbon Editions as I want more than 10 people to have Carbon Fiber.
I have to say it at some point - there was a miscommunication between me and the factory. We're looking at this timeline now as of today:Unless there is a major problem with the engraving then this should be something to stick to as it's the word from the factory, but knowing how group buys in general and their luck, I'd be surprised if this happens. It's a big disappointment announcing more delays, but hopefully you can believe I'm trying to get this done ASAP.
- 20 days for the prototype weight
- usually 4 days for delivery
- 30 days for the production weights
- usually 4 days for all parts delivery
- shipping invoices, sorting and shipping

Thanks for the update, Xondat.
From what I gather, we're currently IN the 20 days allocated for prototype weight production rather than starting the 20 day period, correct?
Okay so we're talking about a delay of more than two months and a delivery in early May ?
Just trying to manage my expectations here...

They'll be sent today, theoretically will have them by the weekend. I was feeling great about them, but then I noticed the weird marking on Carbon Edition in the last picture. I've enquired about what it is - hoping it's removable by me or fixable by them, but we'll see.

I've ordered polished and sand-blasted prototypes. All will be one or the other, I'm undecided yet.

Are carbon edt weights going to be brass or are you still going with stainless xon?
Don't really mind either way, just wondering
How is the timeline looking now?
When will the form for extra plates (Steel, Poly, Alu, etc.,) go out?
I'm currently talking to the factory about custom boxes, but not sure how far that'll go. Ruling out custom foam/boxes, how would everyone like to see their keyboards packed? Any hints, tips, paragraphs of descriptions would be appreciated.
My current plans are assembling the boards so I'm shipping a singular piece (nothing metal can move), with the PCB (if you ordered one) inside in a layer of foam wrap. I'll wrap the keyboard in several layers of foam wrap and put it into the double walled box and make sure there is no movement. I think no movement is key, but let me know if there is any more I can do.
Regarding the prototype weights, the import fees are paid off and I imagine they're about to land at the airport any time soon. If it lands today, then I'm sure it'll be here tomorrow.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/xdzICAZ.png)
Yes, I'll be posting many, many non-potato pictures.

Any idea on when round 2 will be? I would really like one of the HHKB X60's.
I think my favorite is the polished one with just X60 on it. What are all those scratches on the Carbon Edition one?
I prefer the way you have it with simple on the bottom :thumb:+1
So at the minute there are two types of engraving:How will it look for those who are not among carbon and founders?
The engraving currently on the outside, now referred to as SIMPLE.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/ujcS7I2.png)
And the engraving currently on the inside, now referred to as DETAIL.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/sL35gi7.png)
When assembled, on the bottom you will see SIMPLE. You would have to take the case apart to see DETAIL.
I am considering swapping this around. The swap would mean when assembled, on the bottom you will see DETAIL, and you would have to take the case apart to see SIMPLE.
PLEASE LEAVE YOUR FEEDBACK AND OPINIONS.
Whether you're involved in the group buy or not, I would like your opinion. Swapping these around wouldn't require a new prototype (a new prototype would add 30 days on), but if there is enough people wanting a new prototype (if you're involved in the group buy) then I will.
Regarding the production weights, I'll be talking to the factory on Monday, and by Tuesday I should have a rough idea of how long the issues with the prototypes will take to solve.
I think it would be very nice to be able to look at your edition and numbers at a glance instead of where you'd never see it inside the case.Conflicted because I want to see my number/edition, but prefer the simplicity of how it is now. I'd be happy with whatever decision is made
i'm fine either way.I thought you wanted 'fkjoey' engraved?
the inside engraving will never see light of day except when someone takes pics, so it seems kind of a waste to have all that engraving inside. however, i can see people wanting to keep the outside simple.

I personally liked the plain X60 on the outside, mainly because I'm not going to be staring at it constantly. And if I ever pick it up, that simple, yet elegant X60 will show, instead of x/100.
My vote is to keep it the way it is.
Maybe those with a numbered one would like the detail on the outside, those who have a standard would would have the simple on the outside? With the number on the outside I could, at a glance, show people who have no idea about keyboards and be like 'hey this weight is the only one of it's kind, see?' and they would almost certainly be jealous.
When will the form for extra plates (Steel, Poly, Alu, etc.,) go out?I still don't know if I'm doing that yet :) I'll receive brass/polycarbonate plates in the bulk shipment on April 13th and will assess the quality.

Okay, going to close the overall vote at 14/16, advantage swap. Now because of how close this is, it's not really helped sway my position, which is swap. I'll be creating new files over the next day or so whilst continuing talks with the manufacturer on making sure the production weights are perfect. I can see talks being concluded by Friday.

Can you point out what was changed xon?
Can't spot a difference right now tbh, as the material leftovers in 'carbon edition' still seem to be the same.

It's a consistent finish now.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/tGygLpP.jpg)
You should be able to see how inconsistently colored the finish was on my prototype.
isn't that just normal tarnishing? actually looks pretty cool with "carbon edition" getting darker
i cant ****ing wait for this board
but I'd rather deliver the weights as clean as possible.
I've had word that they've fixed the engraving, so we should enter 30 days of production on Monday!

Q: Why can't you have the cases shipped to you now to check for defects?
A: Unfortunately I do not have the space to keep 100 cases for a month in my room.
Is there any possibility for partial plates?
I don't think partial plates would be possible due to the design of the plate. There would be nothing supporting the stabilized areas. :(
I think the flex is the point of it :p
Very true, good point Joey! It might flex a lot though, but if it works, then that would be awesome!
So excited for this. It's worth the wait! I wonder if Pexon is still gonna do that cable giveaway. (:

Three things regarding X60:
- The factory pointed out that the engravings weren't centered, I must've incorrectly aligned them due to swapping the engravings around. My designer is redoing the outlines to match the surface the engravings will be on, and expects to have them completed tomorrow evening.
- I'll get a partial plate aluminum prototype made with the brass and polycarbonate plates. The alphas won't have any plate, but the outside keys (including the number row) will.
- I'll be making the 10 Pexon cables happen. I just need to figure out lead time so I can ship them with your cases. If the lead time is too long, then I'll ship them separately to you. You'll have to sign up to this draw, just having an order does not make you eligible. This is so I can make sure it goes to someone active and we can minimize any delays.
I'd be in for both a brass and poly plate :thumb:
When will we be signing up/paying for extra plates?
When you do shipping invoices, are you going to send out all invoices simultaneously? Is there an option to prepay shipping?

Three things regarding X60:
- The factory pointed out that the engravings weren't centered, I must've incorrectly aligned them due to swapping the engravings around. My designer is redoing the outlines to match the surface the engravings will be on, and expects to have them completed tomorrow evening.
- I'll get a partial plate aluminum prototype made with the brass and polycarbonate plates. The alphas won't have any plate, but the outside keys (including the number row) will.
- I'll be making the 10 Pexon cables happen. I just need to figure out lead time so I can ship them with your cases. If the lead time is too long, then I'll ship them separately to you. You'll have to sign up to this draw, just having an order does not make you eligible. This is so I can make sure it goes to someone active and we can minimize any delays.

What is the background behind the 'Noxary' name if you don't mind me asking?
Will the PCB fit the switch holtites? Thanks!
I have no idea.What is the background behind the 'Noxary' name if you don't mind me asking?
Well I needed something to separate xondat from the work I do, because having a company and user called xondat would end up being confusing. Criteria was really a few things:After a few days of just screwing around with names, I came up with Noxary combining:
- Easy to pronounce from reading, and easy to write from hearing
- 6 letters
- Must relate closely to xondat
- Available domains/not used before
- Must look nice (NOXARY, Noxary, noxary)
So putting the two together met the criteria, creating Noxary on the 9th of September last year.
- xondat backwards is tadnox, NOX from that
- Rotary (watches), thought it sounded nice, ARY from that
This is likely a long shot as I believe there are only 4 configurations of this, but is anyone willing to trade their Black Winkeyless top for my Black HHKB top?

Could you explain the differences between MDPC-X and a regular USB cable? :(

Did you get it for the looks or does it function differently? I tried to google it, but only got other cable websites to show up. :(

MDPX-C is more of a woven 'plastic/nylon' compared to 550 paracord feeling like fabric.

Don't worry, your good either way unforgivable so I would mainly suggest choosing whatever you like.
MDPC-X is a plastic type sleeping and generally considert the most premium option for powersupply cables.
For USB cables it's not as night and day tho. Paracord sleeving is more flexible then MDPC-X, so paracord would definitely be recommended for headsets, mouse cables etc.
Keyboard is kind of inbetween in my eyes, I'd just recommend going by looks =)
Pexon has a few recommendations on his site aswell including which combinations hold coils well etc
And the winners are...I'll send out a PM to the winners now and you all have 48 hours to choose your cables. If someone doesn't let me know in time, then I'll randomly pick another person.

Yeah, xondat made that form a while back for people who were selling their spots. It used to have more options, but he's been updating it accordingly.
You should be getting an invoice from him then he'll refund my invoice. Safe and convenient for both parties, so thanks to xondat for doing it this way
Welp, I guess I was too late!
Anyone know if the board is expected to ship early/mid/late May?I think it will be shipped in early, mid or late May :D
I'll be ordering some brass, copper, and titanium ANSI plates from a local place soon. If anyone wants one, please message me.
These aren't the "official" extra plates. They won't be finished at all, and the prices will be much higher. These are purely so I can test the properties of different materials in a plate without delaying the main shipment. There is no particular limit, and I encourage people to wait for the "official" brass plates.
The "official" extra plates will be available to order in the next few weeks in between the dates I receive X60, and start X75 production.
Production is still expected to end on the 30th, so shipping will begin early May as expected.
Edit: Just to be clear, you're messaging me to register your interest, and I'll let you know the pricing once I know how many want what.
What would price be? Also, how "not finished" are they? Enough to scratch the inside of the case or anything?
Wait. Titanium? :eek:

Not sure on price, which is why I'm seeing the interest. Not finished meaning they have no additional surface treatment. Size wouldn't be affected by finishing.Wait. Titanium? :eek:
Yes :eek:

How much for one of those bad boys?
As you didn't list it, will PC still be available with the 'official' extra plates xon?
I get that PC plates have to be done by cnc (atleast afaik) since laser cutting leaves burned edges and rather toxic fumes, but I'm still very much hoping PC will happend as it was mentioned before.
Titanium sounds smexy tho btw
If we want a official plates, could we wait to get the items shipped together? I'm assuming the kbd will be done before the official brass plates.
Do you have a price estimate for the titanium plates? I may be down for one depending on how much it costs.
Got the quotes back. If anyone is interested, Copper is $50. Unfortunately I didn't get a quote for 1 plate of titanium, so I've emailed back asking how to get these made.
Production is supposed to end today. As it's a Sunday my rep isn't online, so I expect communication in around 24 hours.Show Image(https://media.giphy.com/media/cSozWbWHEfUis/giphy.gif)

This one really messes with me - I thought it was the end of production. I should receive them around May 15/16 now.
More bad news too. No titanium plates, only copper if I wanted that, but the materials are really similar to Brass so they probably wouldn't be worth it.QuoteOur supplier cannot quote us at present for that material. This is a supply chain issue which is been looked in to.
I might try some other places, or even the factory in China, but I don't really want to think about this project at the minute.
I apologise this has been a complete nuisance to everyone involved.
I just hope they are true to their word with the May 12th (getting to you by 16th) estimate. I won't be in country after June 5.
you are doing great work sir, chin up, itll all be worth it at the end, i know you are looking forward to this as much if not more so than all of us if that is possible
Main thing is all your communication which has been great. That's why everyone in this group buy is so chilled, even with the wait. It's a shame that the definition of 'acceptable communication' is different from the factory's end, but there's nothing you can do about that.
Is it possible to be reinvoiced even though coverage has long since been gone?
I opted to not be reinvoiced while I could to not bother you with that stuff since I assumed that the case would have shipped out by now. But with all these delays, a reinvoice would be reassuring

Shipping cannot be combined in any way. Boxes are ordered to fit 1 keyboard, and the shipping is done by volumetric weight, so prices wouldn't change. If you have 3 orders you: fill in 3 forms, pay shipping 3 times, and receive 3 boxes.

Hey Xondat, on the invoices you said shipping costs would be split. So does that mean the shipping should be $25 per person? I just remembered this after looking at my transactions for the form later.

Extra plates :)
How long is this form going to stay open?
I realized I completely forgot to put the form up for extra plates, so if you'd like them, please fill it in!
I won't hold your order for these plates, so they will ship separately to your order.
These will be produced along side X75, so from this point delivery is maybe 7-8 weeks out with no delays. Some plates have a MOQ, but they shouldn't be an issues, especially since I'm likely to buy up to them if they're close. Prices are slightly higher than what would be usual due to I imagine lower quantities.
There will be no extra carbon fiber plates due to the high price at low quantities. If you really want one, please let me know so we can work it out.

[3:25:28 PM] Factory: anyway,all production will be finished this week

[4:57:13 PM] Factory: ok
No point dodging around this:
I asked the factory to assemble a couple cases just so I know everything would work. The weight wasn't able to be screwed in.

What kind of finish will be used on the brass plates?
Sand blasted weights. There are pictures a few pages back
No update yet. I'll post here when I know something.
It's worth noting this so you're aware of my state: I was at the arena attack on Monday and the emotions of it all are catching up. If I'm not communicating very well, it's because my head is all over the place. If I'm modding switches because it's therapeutic, then I will be.
The brass switch plates will be sand blasted. No other finish (brushed, polished, etc) have a more consistent finish than sand blasting.
I'm not asking for an update every couple of days.
I'm asking for an update a week after an expected ship date when you said yourself you'd hope they would be shipping by Monday because they expected production to be finished Friday.
Don't try and say you don't have any responsibility now. You do. You're the person running the GB.
When you're still waiting for them to be shipped, just let us know. That still means they haven't run into any more issues and we can hope to see shipping in the next day or so.
When you don't respond at all people get worried.
Lots of people have put lots of money into this GB, and are entitled to updates "every couple of days" if they want them.

i'm from new york and whenever a plane flies over everyone in the room gets nervous.

Here's hoping for some good news by the end of the week then. 😁One week has passed since the proposed shipping date. Are they on their way yet? If not, why are they not?
Not that I know of. I have no idea why, haven't had any communication due to the Dragon Boat Festival holiday that is Sat-Tue.

For some stupid reason, the way they asked me to pay months ago isn't valid so they have to refund it and I send it a different way. I am currently waiting for that refund. Something to do with "so long production time through Alibaba". Yeah, I'm not sure either.Bummed about another delay, but on the plus side the board looks damn good.
I also got a random picture of a mismatched case with a weight in from when they test fit stuff.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/ihWzqut.jpg)

I have a tracking number, but it doesn't work. According to the manu who talked to the courier, the tracking will work once it reaches the Netherlands, which should be any day now as its 6-8 days (and was picked up Friday). I'm just waiting around for proof that they're on the way.Hell yea! The home stretch boys
How long do you have planned to ship them all out to participants?
How long do you have planned to ship them all out to participants?
I'm planning to get the first 4 (to test packaging) out the day after I receive the shipment, they'll arrive next day, and hopefully if all is good I can start sending more out. So in something easier to understand:If the packaging isn't approved, then I'll be sorting that as quickly as I can, but I do have custom double walled boxes + hundreds of metres of foam wrap on the way.
- Day 1 - receive shipment, QC begins
- Day 2 - 4 UK boards out, QC continues
- Day 3 - 4 UK boards received and approved, QC continues
- Day 4 - All other boards start going out
Obviously it's hard to say how many can be shipped a day, but I'll have 2 others helping me QC the boards (each part will be checked 4 times) and perhaps helping make packing quicker (getting boxes/foam wrap ready). I'm planning on seeing each part twice, assembling the boards, packaging them, and printing labels for every single board. Should be a fun learning curve.
Not even in the buy and I'm hyped to see these!

13 weights didn't pass QC at the factory; they now have been redone and will ship tomorrow. I do not have a list of which weights they are but hopefully will arrive shortly after the main shipment.Will this delay shipping or will you proceed with shipping what you can during the lead time for these 13 weights?
Tease us with some photos xondat pls

Edit: Though I assume they will most likely arrive before QC has finished.

None at all. If people go quiet on the shipping form for too long, I may sell their order, but only if they've ignored me several times. Don't bet on that though.

I'm not looking to split them up just yet.
As delivery was expected today but the tracking still shows "collecting", I ran TNT who told me the package hasn't been collected from The Netherlands. This means that for some reason my factory have used a proxy without telling me for some reason. It doesn't make sense as the 13 separate weights are being delivered direct to me (with DHL), but the main shipment isn't. As of right now, I have no idea where the 16 items are which is beyond stupid.
I'll update as soon as it (hopefully) gets collected.
Looking to trade my Purple HHKB top and bottom for a Black HHKB top and bottom. Weights would remain the same. Please PM me as I am working with xondat on swapping cases before he ships them out to reduce reshipping cost.
I would like the price difference in PP. We can compare invoices and subtract PCB/extra plate costs
The last moments of this GB feel like the keyboards are making two steps forward then one backward ;D

3 spots will be available on the day of arrival.
Claiming those spots will be done by email, you'll format this way:Dat grey cable :)
SUBJECT:Code: [Select]X60 BUY SPOT __
BODY:Code: [Select]your paypal email address
your country
I'll then invoice you, you'll have a short time period to pay, I'll then have you fill in the shipping form and that's it. I'll publish the spot number + configs when the parts arrive.
For now, I'm able to show the cables that the 10 lucky people will get.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/pP9uXop.jpg)
It's also worked out that the 13 weights will arrive tomorrow, so we'll be teased with those tomorrow. Expect pictures when they arrive :)
which one? :))All of them :) I choose a grey case.

Sorry if this is a noob question, but what email do I use for the open spots?
Will you publish the spot number/configs before we can submit an email so we can consider the options? Or is it going to be a case of once that information is posted, they are up for grabs immediately?

Looks like I might get the shipment Thursday. I can't remember if DHL deliver on Saturdays, but looks like the first 4 could arrive to them then. :p
Main shipment is here. Gonna shower and get going. I'll drop a pic here, but keep up to date with my Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/noxaryco/) for absolutely tonnes of pictures.Awww ****
Please xondat, my body can only take so much 💦💦💦💦Show Image(https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/312287977151660042/324889530870267914/image.jpg)
Sorting going well. Going to open the weights next I think.
What does ANSI red mean? Is that the top plate or bottom base? Or probably the switch plate?

I've got to be honest though, there are a lot that will fail my initial QC due to lack of care on their end. I'll be doing the first run tonight on the cases, and then hopefully I can discuss with the factory on how quick they can replace them.
Any pics of the stainless steel weight?
:( Will you post close up pictures of what you are talking about?
Hi,
I am sorry I didn't follow the thread since a few weeks but I filled the form and hasn't been invoiced for the shipping cost yet. Is that normal?
Ty
Hi all, this is just a short little update to keep you in the loop - I will be providing a much larger update when I have pieced everything together and have the solution.
My absolute priority is to deliver boards that are flawless. After receiving the shipment and, so far, after doing 2 rounds of quality control, I can report a good number of cases do not pass my inspections.
I will be shipping all cases that pass QC as soon as all 4 UK packages arrive, this is to confirm my packaging is doing its job. 1 has arrived and 3 will be delivered on Monday; the remaining cases will be picked up on through the week.
For now, I ask that you stay patient until the larger update comes. I will not be invoicing anyone for spot swapping (unless still requested), extra plates (this will still happen), or shipping (unless needed).
Thanks for the continued support.

It's SMD from the Zeal 60. Two very subtly different shades of green, camera doesn't necessarily pick that up.
I haven't decided what keycaps set to use on my silver wkl yet: sa pulse or dsa dolch. Any suggestions?
Nice side shot. Can't wait to find out if mine is one of the ones that passed QC.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/ncNTcXX.jpg)
Sneaky peaky. Will post images/ build log tonight when I finish in the workshop :)
Just a very short update - I'll give the big update tonight or tomorrow as I now feel I have a full understanding on everything.
I haven't sent out any orders so that I can have as many cases to go over. All 4 UK orders arrived perfectly and you'll start seeing some pictures :) Thank you for being incredibly patient and understanding.

Anyone messaging me asking for a perfect board is wasting their time. It is too early for messages in the first place, but I will be sorting through them in the order you paid your shipping invoice. If you haven't paid yet, then you're going to end up with the more damaged ones if you choose that route.
I will have a spreadsheet of all the cases with detailed pictures and information on each case. You will be able to see "your" case before you chose which route to go.
Also the main thing seems to be that people want a case with no defects on the top piece - consider 100% have those hooking points, I can only presume people mean no scratches. This is difficult as over 75 have been affected. Not everyone can get a good condition board from the existing boards.
Regarding spot selling
I'm still happy to allow people to sell their spot through me. I will presume that anyone buying a spot after this post has read it, and they fully understand what they're getting into. If you'd like to sell your spot, please email me @ support@noxary.co and include as much information about your slot just to make things easier. I'll then list it here and allow people to email me if they want to buy it.

Shipping payments will be refunded at the same time as the spot to keep it simple.

Whoops, my mistake. I'll send an email. Thanks!
Regarding shipping refunds - that doesn't make too much sense to me since nothing is gonna get shipped. Could you please at least refund mine? (I paid 3 seperate shipping invoices). I'd be able to use the funds for current things.

Going to put a hold on swaps for now whilst I sort everything out. If you've emailed me already, don't worry, I'll list your spot. A few people are putting deadlines to when I should refund them - don't. It's only when someone buys your spot that it's possible to refund.

Just a heads up, the Blue HHKB did not come with a PCB, so the price should be lower. ($459.36 with fees included, but excluding shipping), not $500.
Can you please adjust it here? Hopefully someone jumps on it. :(

Here it is referred in a different spot.

Hey all, loud_asian has decided to dispute which means my funds (which majority is my money) is locked up until I get back from my trip and can fully figure everything out. I don't think his spot was paid for yet so it'll involve some juggling around so everyone will have to stay patient. I'll be sorting it when I'm back. Thanks.

this situation sucks, it sucks for all of the buyers, it sucks for xondat, and if the factory make this right it sucks for them as well but xondat is trying his best to rectify this for people, he didnt **** these boards up, the factory did, and as leader of the GB, his current role is facilitating a discussion from us the buyers, to them the factory, to accurately portray the issues to the factory and start a conversation towards a resolution, and it seems that is currently happening

Yeah but he knowingly used the same factory as Mech27, he even got the contact info for the factory from him. Then he tries to deny that.
With that said, not really surprising if people choose to open a dispute at this point.
:rolleyes:
Two things need to be addressed:
1. It's easy to tell who is ****posting and who actually cares - you should've done your research. My cases finished production on the 16th of November. It was the weights (the design mainly) that took us further. 27's cases arrived on the 16th of January. Therefore my cases were done 2 months before his arrived. This means there was absolutely no way to judge quality.
2. The 4 UK boards were sent to people I highly trust. They weren't perfect (anodizing hook marks, dodgy anodizing), but this was before I knew how severe the lack of proper quality control by my factory was. I spoke to them all about the issues and they said it doesn't affect them. Malenky didn't even notice the anodizing hook marks on the top piece before I pointed them out to him which is slightly unfortunate but I want to be completely transparent on the quality, and that I want it to be flawless.
Regarding the Ctrl Alt/Keyboard Community thing, it was back in June last year I started learning design (including starting this project). Many people there were extremely helpful and generally put up with me whilst I asked all the questions I need to get to the point I could start this group buy. I had to chose people in the UK so that the delivery was next day, meaning I could get the shipping feedback ASAP and start sending to all participants. The reasons I chose Joey & Bunnylake was due to their constant support and just generally getting along very well. I also went with Pexon & Malenky for the same reasons, but on top of those, I met them at the UK 1.5 meet up, and they were both very excited about the project.
None of this needs to be said, but as I want to be completely open about the quality of the cases, it won't go missed.
Like I said before, when I get back, I'll be looking into local anodizing and then I'll figure funding for that out. I'll also be cataloging all the cases and sending out cases that people want.
I'll end this on a nice note - today was great, went to the top of some hill and saw this:Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/KdYzFtp.jpg)

I get that xondat is going on trip but would be nice to just get an acknowledgement that he has read my PMs about changing shipping address. I don't mind the defects (perks of choosing silver, everything is slightly less apparent), I just want my board.
Hats off to the impatient moron who just couldn't wait a few days for things to pan out before opening a dispute
Right now, I'm thinking that reanodizing will be the best middle grounds of fixing the issues. The only thing is that there is currently no source of the money needed to accomplish this. I'll be going to local places and getting quotes to figure out how much money I need to pull from no where.

So the shop that produced them isn't going to pay for them to be re-anodized?
Issuing disputes at this point of the GB stage is extremely selfish and poor GB etiquette. There are 90+ other users in the same boat.
I'm not denying the GB has gone awry, but Xondat has been transparent about the glaring issues and is not running away from the problems.
This may be out of line, but please don't join GBs if you need to blow an entire paycheck on a keyboard.

I filled out a shipping form and was never invoiced. Are there still some people that haven't been invoiced for shipping because of the recent updates?

I don't think most people understand that PP disputes are meant to be a last minute resort, when the seller or GB runner has gone AWOL or is clearly taking the money and running. Xon hasn't run anywhere, and has been clearly documenting the delays and problems, and is formulating a plan to address these issues. Opening a dispute at this point is just creating a massive PITA for everyone involved; why would you respond to delays by creating another setback?
Take a look around. There are 100 boards and at least a couple dozen participants awaiting those boards. Have some common courtesy, and if waiting a patiently waiting a while for a refund/resolution should push you to the brink of financial desperation, maybe you shouldn't be dropping $400 on a board yea?
Given the history of some past buys on GH, i dont blame the buyers for disputing, people said oh dont worry you can trust Ivan, and look what happened. Each Individual should use their own judgement on the situation since its their money.

Put caps on it:looks damn good manShow Image(http://i.imgur.com/CbWAk9t.jpg)
Have I missed the forum/information where to apply for a board with minor damages?Nope he has not done the documentation of each individual board yet. He will be starting off by going through the people who already payed shipping's boards. Then show the other boards and people can make a decision before he invoices them IIRC.
Just dropping in to say I've just got home so tomorrow I'll be starting up again. Just replying to emails right now.Good to hear. Have a good night and get some rest. Hope the trip went well!
I went to the local anodizing place yesterday and had a good talk with them about potentially reanodizing all the parts. I took a few sample parts for quotes and to show what sort of quality I want to improve on.
The end result was that reanodizing won't remove the imperfections as it's not one thing (the alloy, machining, handling, anodizing, etc) that add the imperfections - it's everything that leads up to it being in my hands. They said the current anodizing is "pretty good", and they wouldn't be able to improve it much due to the history of the parts.
They've offered to reanodize a couple just to see what happens, and I'm taking them up on that offer. I'll get a case with bad defects reanodized, along with a better one to see how both turn out. Their facilities and team seem great and I have no doubts that they'll do their best, but they sounded sincere when they said there isn't much point. I personally doubt that the reanodizing will change anything, but we'll wait and see.
This puts us on a path with no realistic fix (providing reanodizing doesn't work). The only other option at this point would be to start all over again, but we all know that just isn't possible.
As previously said, I'll be cataloging all the cases so I can rank them from best to worst. I'll then contact everyone, in the order they paid their shipping invoice, so that you can then choose your case from the catalogue and know exactly what you'll get.
Regarding spot selling - it's awkward. I still want to list them to help as much, but there are obviously going to be more sellers than buyers. I cannot keep the cases in the house any longer. It'll most likely get to the point where I'll send the case to you if it hasn't sold. It's unfortunate, but it's whats happened.
I'll get an updated list (and how to contact me regarding buying and selling spots) up later. Some spots did sell, but then a couple people charged me back and ate into that money so I now need to shuffle money around until everyone is happy. If a spot reads sold but you haven't got your money, stay patient please. If you've emailed me asking me to sell your spot, I'll list it, but don't bet on it selling.
And finally, I owe all the participants an apology. Every participant put their trust in me to deliver flawless cases, and I couldn't due to various elements. If I get another chance at designing and selling cases, then I'll make sure it is flawless. This time there were mistakes, and I ultimately take blame as I made all the decisions that led up to this point. I am truly sorry, and I hope you can forgive me.
The only item mentioned previously that you didn't bring us up to date on here is the dialog with the manufacturer used for the boards. Are they talking with you? Is there any chance for parts to be remade through them?

I'm still talking to them but they're quick to blame anyone but themselves. They've also said they won't be able to produce anything of higher quality. If I do receive any sort of refund, then it'll be evenly distributed.

keep your head up man. any reasonable person can see factory is to blame for most of the issues. Those who think it's so easy to force a factory in another country half way around the world into remaking all the cases (for what I'm sure they consider minor imperfections) are delusional. contract or no contract. ivan lives in the ****ing United States and we can't even get the guy prosecuted for scamming gb participants of tens of thousands of $$$, and you think xondat's gonna be able to force some factory in china to remake a 100 cases? xondat isn't apple and doesn't have that kinda leverage/power over a factory.
we were all participants in a group buy, which means we all should have been completely aware of the risks involved, esp with manufacturing screw ups which are outside the gb runner's control and which we can't expect the gb runner to shell out his/her own money to fix while the rest of us ***** and moan without contributing more of our own funds.
seriously, damn good job so far for your first rodeo xondat.
When will those of us who have not received a shipping invoice be receiving one?
Will the sorting also be done by case type and color, or will people be able to choose whatever case they want depending only on their spot on that list?
Will our chances at receiving a less damaged board be impacted by not receiving a shipping invoice yet? Sorry about the boards and we all appreciate the transparency and updates as well.
I'll see it as a board with character and story
If my spot doesn't wind up selling, I'm actually looking forward to doing a sticker-bomb on it. lol

I took a few sample parts for quotes and to show what sort of quality I want to improve on.Even tho a re-ano obviously won't get rid of any deep scratches, or dings.

My vote still goes towards really beating up a savage one to make a gnarly ratted out board. Throw some really really shiny OG doubleshots on it and a melted Clack.
I really don't see how it's fair that those who happened to be paying more attention to the thread and got their shipping invoices first get to pick their boards
Not that there is an easy solution to this problem
I'm thinking of a new order:
- The 8 people that paid fully when changing factory for new prototype.
- Original Carbon/Founder order
- Shipping order for the remaining
I am starting to think it is unfair on the very early supporters - there is one of the original 8 that still hasn't paid shipping so it feels wrong. I'm not sure the case would've happened with the original full payers which is why it got me thinking.
Please continue to share thoughts - nothing is final until cases start going out.
I'm thinking of a new order:I guess everyone is going to favor the method that benefits them the most; people down the list for shipping will be opposed to being selected that way when quality decreases every time someone ahead of them takes a board. But since I've been following the buy pretty closely for the last year I was really looking forward to shipping which is why I jumped on the form as fast as I did for the benefit of receiving the board first instead of waiting another month and claiming it isn't fair. Just another angle to consider eh.

Just an option, but maybe instead of doing shipping order for the last group you could assign them to people randomly? Could make it a little bit more fair in terms of someone receiving one with more or less defects.
Will the sorting also be done by case type and color, or will people be able to choose whatever case they want depending only on their spot on that list?
Take this example as the answer: if there are 20 black HHKBs, the person who has a black HHKB and paid their shipping invoice first will get first dibs.
Being one of the first eight to back this GB, having a founders order and having been on top of things when the shipping form went up (@razer, you have to fill out a form to ger an invoice, so I don't think xondat's put you at a disadvantage), I'd be pretty bummed if this went to rng, tbh. Just my two cents.

Since I have the first message on this thread, I propose to ship by order of posts here. :D
More seriously, I think that the original order is much fairer than shipping invoices order or RNG, just because it shows who really trusted you in the beginning.
PS: please answer my mails bud :(

I would definitely say shipping them in the order the original board orders were received is fairest.
Considering it had been stated for many months now that shipping order would be determined by the order in which invoices were paid, I think that it should stay that way. I could see having the individuals who got the GB off the ground having first choice, but IMO rng is absolutely the most unfair way of doing it, as is going by original order number.I agree.

We're all likely similarly hosed. With 75-90% of the parts problematic, this is going to be the ultimate DIY GB. We're all going to have to look into reanodizing, finding a cerakote shop or sticker bombing. I think Xondat's plan of taking care of those who bought in way early and helped fund the prototypes makes sense. Then follow the shipping plan he was planning on following all along. Just my two cents. I'm not too worried since I know whenever mine ships, I'm going to probably look to re-do as much as possible.
Xondat is handling this as well as possible. There are always risks to GBs and this can happen. That said, for a $350 board, production was a $#!@ show, there's no money or path to fix that and we're on our own to fix it, whenever they ship.

We all paid the same amount of money?
Great to see all the partisanship in here
Do I need to remind people that everybody paid the same amount?
I don't see how that entitles people to be able to choose a board that is arguably worth much more than others?
People want to sell boards that came out damaged and you charge them a 5% handling fee?
Can't say i agree with Wodan. Wouldn't it make more sense that this money came out of xondat profits?
My spot (68) is no longer listed for sale in the latest update, has it sold?
I am not in this GB, and this is my personal opinion. But I take interest in how people run group buys and the conditions during and after the buy.
I suggest going with RNG. I don't agree with charging anyone more than they agreed to at the beginning, nor do I think anyone has priority on a case because of a paying earlier or on time, or faster than someone else. It's simply not fair (in my opinion) to prioritize someone's case quality based on payment time.
If there was a timing separation between the "first 8 or 10" people that are being talked about, then I think yes, they deserve to have priority. Like they paid a week or a month ahead to help make the prototype or something. But if they paid in the same invoicing period, then, they should be treated equally.
If I were in this buy, I'd be insulted if the runner asked me to pay more, for a better quality case. It just equates to how much money I have, and it's so late into the buy. Everyone should be treated equally, unless some special condition were in place. The timing of payment doesn't really mean much, if it was 1minute faster... 1 hour faster, doesn't seem fair to me because of global time differences. People are sleeping or maybe they're at school, or out with their family or something.
In any case, I think people just wants the case. Everyone is already going to get a case with some kind of issue, so RNG will assure the issues are random, and no one got special treatment.
Cheers, and good luck.
Can you please upload some photos of the worst ones Xondat.
Depending on how bad they are I will take one of those
As far as I can tell both, getting replacements and refinishing have been ruled out, so I don't see the need to catalogue each an every case honestly.
Just get them out so we can take care of refinishing them
I am not in the buy, but would be fine buying one of the really damaged boards if it was less than GB price.
Not sure if I'm looking at it won't but these all seem like pretty minor defects. I was expecting entire corners to be chipped and dented
For some reason, imgur destroys the iPhone picture quality so any hints on that would be appreciated.
This is going to seem like a really long winded, over complicated solution to distribution but I'll try and explain it the best I can.
There are 20 different variants of X60 as you can see in this table here:Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/lIDeJoa.png)
Therefore there are 20 groups of people. There are 11 groups with more than 1 person. I will contact each group of people with an individual poll so that each group can decide.
I'm aiming to make it as fair as possible for everyone involved. If I just poll all 95 people, there is the chance that all the people with Black HHKBs vote completely differently compared to Winkeyless Dark Grays. They don't affect each other unless in the same vote, and as they're different cases it wouldn't make sense.
If you're in the buy, you won't see any difference whether I poll for 95 people or 11 groups. You still have to fill it in, but now there is the chance that your group may choose something different.
With smaller groups (probably 4 max), I think it would be easier just to have a group chat and let it be worked out. I say this because I talked to the 2 people that have a Red 60%, and they came to a conclusion that worked for us all.
If you're the only person with a variant of a case, I'll contact you on here so we can get it in motion as quickly as possible.
I understand that a lot of people at this point just want their case. I get that and I also want the cases in your hands instead of mine. I'll be working as effectively as possible to get cases out. I don't see a reason why the large majority of cases can't be out within the next two weeks. I plan to complete cataloguing by the end of the week (16th).
All red cases have been packaged and they're ready to be collected tomorrow (Monday).

Would it make sense to split the Black group into "Carbon" and "Others"? Two reasons
1) Carbon paid a higher price
2) There was no other color choice for Carbon.
Due to the limit of 10, the carbon owners will be underrepresented in any group. Doesn't feel right you could get a worse case as a Carbon owner when you had no choice of color, and paid more to boot.
Just for the sake of playing devil's advocate, I thought the higher price for carbon was for numbered SS weight and CF plate... so I don't see why the cases should be handled differently.This is going to seem like a really long winded, over complicated solution to distribution but I'll try and explain it the best I can.

Due to the limit of 10, the carbon owners will be underrepresented in any group. Doesn't feel right you could get a worse case as a Carbon owner when you had no choice of color, and paid more to boot.
If this is what all the damage looks like I would think that re-ano would definitely make them look better.Can you please upload some photos of the worst ones Xondat.
Depending on how bad they are I will take one of those
It depends how you rank them. Here are a few pictures. For some reason, imgur destroys the iPhone picture quality so any hints on that would be appreciated.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/x5IKRFK.jpg)Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/tJzwgzc.jpg)
This is all the same top piece:Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/KPt5u33.jpg)Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/4MTg908.jpg)Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/vaHRzM4.jpg)
Again, depends what you're looking for and what you call bad. Personally the black is worse than the silver case. This is also only based on the top pieces - not sure if its worth bothering talking about the bottom pieces as they show the same sorts of scratches, but its on the face that is on the desk.
If this is what all the damage looks like I would think that re-ano would definitely make them look better.
Like I said before, of course it wouldn't help with dings/dents.
However it would be even better if the shop ends up deciding to replace the damaged boards.

Proper reanodizing will require stripping of all of the affected boards to get rid of the last color, and then redip into each color to reanodize. You're going to get better results receiving the board and then attempting to have a better quality shop do the work, if this is the result of the existing shop's work. Plus, shipping to China and back will probably equal more taxes to xondat upon receipt, etc. The local anodizing shop that he's contacted doesn't look like they're going to be very confident in doing a better job, either. Anodizing is at a tiny-tiny-tiny level, it isn't like painting a layer on metal.
Would it make sense to split the Black group into "Carbon" and "Others"? Two reasons
1) Carbon paid a higher price
Just for the sake of playing devil's advocate, I thought the higher price for carbon was for numbered SS weight and CF plate... so I don't see why the cases should be handled differently.

Right. I'm aware of how the process works. What I was saying is that from the looks of the pictures, re-ano is an option that would make them look better then their current state.
I look forward to seeing how the ones he had done at his local place turns out.
I have no stake in this matter (hoping for X75 to drop), but have looked into possible fixes myself. Sadly, the conclusion I've reached is that there is not much to be done without having the anodization stripped in the first place. Even going another route and powder-coating over the anodization can lead to chipping (which is likely the case here), but a full strip, prep, and powder-coat shouldn't lead to any issues (it's just a bit costly).
Still, I wouldn't blame Xondat for this since the samples shown to him were free of defects. These kind of underhanded tactics happen all too often, best that can be done is learn from them.
Just to confirm, no matter what order we end up on going with on the distribution front, we are still going to receive the board that we asked for? i.e. dark grey HHKB?
Awesome thanks dudeJust to confirm, no matter what order we end up on going with on the distribution front, we are still going to receive the board that we asked for? i.e. dark grey HHKB?
Of course. No configurations are changing.
Heading to the anodizing place to get a few black parts reanodized as a test. Should have them back by the end of the week. I'll take before and after pictures!
The parts will be completely stripped before anodizing correct?
If reanodizing will fix the issues, is this a financially viable option for all cases?
Doubt it will happen, but I would personally prefer a fully stripped of anodizing option because I have already looked into getting them powder coated.

Yes. It won't fix the issues but it will cover them up (which is why I'll only do it for Black, Purple, and Dark Gray). Financially viable? It's manageable but I'd have to save up a bit.
Getting it solely stripped might be possible, but the "job" I'd be paying for would be reanodizing so would have to consult if they're good.
I get the cases back next Monday ish.
45 cases have been catalogued today, leaving 47 left to do (probably tomorrow). I'll be sending the polls out tonight.
Been following this... Sorry to hear about the production issues and I'm hoping the factory is willing to send you replacements for the worst of the cases. Is there anything I can do to help? Any spots open you need filled?

If I understand correctly, you can't anodize over anodization. It needs to be stripped because anodizing is basically creating a thicker aluminum-oxide layer then chemically "painting" it. this is why there are so many variables that effect the outcome (even down to the proper bonding of aluminum into alloy). This was my reason for looking into other coloring methods and why I think another option would create the best appearance; it's likely the streaks would still appear to some degree, even with a high-grade process (eg; mil-spec type 3) which would also be cost-prohibitive.

Thx Skull.
I do understand how anodizing works.
Since I figured it needs to be stripped, I was wondering if getting a bare stripped case would be an option.
This way I wouldn't have to look into stripping the case before getting it to a powder coating shop.
Everyone that has any variant Black, Dark Gray, or Silver case has been PM'd regarding distribution; I'll be sending emails out tomorrow with the exact same message to people that haven't filled it out yet to get everyone to asap. People with Gold, Blue, and Purple will be contacted tomorrow. Please let me know if you have a paid slot but did not receive a message.
I am packing boards on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday for Monday collection so the sooner groups figure everything out, the higher the chance you'll get it collected Monday. Black/Blue/Purple boards will be held until I get the anodizing samples back as scratches on these can be covered up the most by reanodizing. I'll make it opt-in if the samples turn out good.
I have emailed all the people that have yet to fill out a shipping form.
I will contact each group with their catalog and form to select their board as soon as they have chosen which route they'll take.
I'll be sending out the remaining shipping invoices at the following time/date: 5PM EST 14th of July 2017.
Please email me at support@noxary.co if you have any problems with your order.
Did you have any of the Dark Grey re-anodized locally to see how they would turn out?
Yes. It won't fix the issues but it will cover them up (which is why I'll only do it for Black, Purple, and Dark Gray). Financially viable? It's manageable but I'd have to save up a bit.
Did you have any of the Dark Grey re-anodized locally to see how they would turn out?
I'm getting a couple black parts reanodized to see what happens. There is no point doing Dark Gray/Silver as it won't cover anything up.
I'm sorry you have to deal with this but I really want to get my 2 cents in before everyone votes.
I don't think shipping form order would really be fair. In fact, I think letting people choose cases for any reason is really unfair. Why should filling out the shipping form grant any advantages when everyone joined the same group buy? People joined with the understanding that every case would be more or less the same. Because a user filled out a shipping form a few hours/days before it even mattered shouldn't get them a better case. User X fills out the shipping form a week before you get the cases. User Y fills out the shipping form two days before you get the cases. In this situation user X will receive a better case. Does that seem right? You might as well let people choose cases based off of something just as arbitrary, like number of times they used the letter 'f' in their post history.
Original order number doesn't really make sense to me either. Perhaps I'm mistaken but as I recall, the group buy had no problem filling spots, so it's not like the people that signed up earlier were trying to support something that might not happen. Perhaps if people had been reluctant to order an X60 and the buy had trouble reaching MOQ would original order number make sense. But it didn't, right? In fact isn't it quite the opposite? People wanted in but there weren't enough slots? I apologize if I'm wrong here.
Are you really okay with having the person that ordered last get the worst case, even though they paid the same amount and they were not aware at the time of ordering that their order number mattered?
I also disagree with the voting system. People will typically have no reason to vote for something that's fair for the whole group. They'll vote in their best interest, which means many people are going to vote for something that isn't necessarily correct or fair to everyone, only themselves. I totally understand you're trying to satisfy the most number of people possible but voting isn't the correct solution. With 4 options, I fear that order number is going to get a large chunk of the votes with the rest split among the others, allowing that option to win. RNG is essentially split in two options as well which means it's basically not going to win. The vote as of now, should be 3 options. Order #, shipping form order, or RNG. Not two different versions of RNG.
I'm not saying RNG is the best solution here. However, it's more of a fair solution than shipping form or order number.
The whole situation is really unfortunate, and I'm sorry you have to deal with these issues but if shipping form order or order # is the method of case selection, I honestly believe that's only making things worse.
If you pay attention to choice 4 though I think it's the happy medium since we were informed that shipping invoice would effect ship order. Choice 4, rng cases separately then ship based on shipping order, allows them to be shipped in the order at which shipping invoices were paid but this does not effect the group as a whole as the cases itself will be distributed independently of the shipping order. Fair in my mind and the most unbiased way.I'm sorry you have to deal with this but I really want to get my 2 cents in before everyone votes.

That's right !
That's easy for me to say that because if we follow the list of order or shipping, I am gonna get one of the worst case.
But still, the list method is unfair. I paid as much as the other. There was a long time between first payment and shipping invoice. There is period in life when I can spend an hour per day on keyboard website and other time I work too much for that. I didn't subscribe to this thread because I didn't want to be spammed but you could have send at least one private message or an email as an alert for shipping invoice instead of a simple post here.
Random is the less bad solution.

There used to be a list right?
Xondat, do you mind elaborating on this?
I pm'd you on geekhack and sent you an email on the one you provided after the major update asking if I can have my spot refunded or put for sale. I have yet to get a response on either medias for just over a week now and just received your pm on "X60 Case Distribution" form. I was told if I post on the forum I might be able to get answers here.
When could we expect the poll results?
I was just wondering why you initially wanted to reanodize dark grey but then later said it wouldn't fix anything.
I was just wondering why you initially wanted to reanodize dark grey but then later said it wouldn't fix anything.
I am also wondering about this.
So I've just come back from taking a break from GH for work, and then a holiday, and this has gone from "cases are messed up, delays whilst they are fixed" to "cases are being shipped in damaged condition, lets work out who gets the least damaged". I was under the impression that I was paying for a case of the specification listed in the original post, in which "scratched/damaged" is not mentioned.
Would someone like to fill me in on why the manufacturer is not liable for not following the same specification? "Ignoring a request" certainly puts them at blame, I know for a fact that the workshop I previously worked in would have had to re-make every piece out of their own pocket if they made such a "decision". The fact that it sounds as if no sample parts were produced before main production began also surprises me, especially with a run this large. Similarly, the statement "All parts have been affected by poor manufacturing and no quality control" heavily implies that numerous other falsities were made by the manufacturer, since I'm sure that they would not have been selected for production if they stated that from the outset. I thought that this manufacturer had previously been used for another group buy (successfully? I cannot find where I originally read this), what gives with this one? They were tasked with producing cases sold for $350 per unit, IMO they should be perfect. I've skimmed through the replies since the original update, and there seems to be remarkably little discussion about this.
Please note that I would like to retain my spot, and have paid the shipping invoice as a reflection of this. Like many others in this group buy, I am upset about what has transpired, and would want to view photographs of all damage to my case before I accept it.
Xondat, you have my fullest sympathies, and I am willing to wait as long as it takes to get a pristine-as-possible X60.
I also received mine today! Very satisfied with how it turned out. As a matter of fact, if there hadn't been this whole ano debacle, I'd probably not noticed the few defects there are.
When building my board, I had an issue fitting my GON NerD PCB. I did a quick comparison with a WKL I had at home and it seems the USB-port on the GON extends further from the main of the PCB causing it to have some issues clearing the bridge above the USB cut out. A little bit of determination allowed me to brute force it in, however. Could be good to know for those of you who plan on building your X60 with a NerD.
All in all, very happy with how it looks. A bit dark outside, but here are two shots of my build:Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/muHSyko.jpg)Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/oDMQzEp.jpg)

Nice, bud. Did you mod the nixies?They got 60g gold springs, polycarbonate switch films and some Krytox. Stock is too heavy for my puny fingers.
My second plate was going to go with a nerd, thanks for the heads up.
Going to be using a NerD60 PCB with mine also.I got a little worried when it wouldn't just fit, and was considering my options for a while. In the end though, it was nothing major. A little bit of force and it slided right in ;D
Hope it's not too much of a pain.

Aside from a touch of exposure correction these photos are unedited. Board is near perfect.
Loving all these build pictures rolling in now that everyone is receiving their boards. Xondat has definitely been an absolute perfectionist, because, by the looks of things, the finishing issues are reported to be extremely minor. Hyped for Wodan's build video!This. Xondat had me way to worried, but my God he apparently is just crazy picky with QA. All said and done the boards are beautiful. Can't wait to have mine in hand.

Hi,Did you put the stabilizer on the pcb before you started putting switches and the plate over the pcb?
I've just received my case. The damage is really minor so I am really happy.
But right now I feel really stupid. I start my build. And I have a major issue with 6.25 spacebar, the pcb mount cherry stabilizer doesn't fit. It is too large for the cutout on the ISO universal plate.
There is no indication on the first post. But does this plate supposed to be used with plate mount stab ???
I've never saw plate mount stab so I am not good to recognize the right cutout.
To clarify Tally's statement - PCB mount stabilizers need to be installed before the plate is installed - otherwise it will not fit.This is what I was trying to say thanks for clarifying limitz
Assuming you've soldered everything, you *might* be able to get away with using screw-in stabilizers without desoldering (probably not though, just throwing an option out there). I do not believe the plate is made to fit plate mount stabilizers.
If screw-in stabilizers don't work, I don't know what to tell you besides desoldering everything to install the stabilizers on the PCB.
I didn't solder just try to fit everything before. So I put it on the PCB and then I try to put the plate on it (not my first build, I am used to 60% PCB and universal plate for "classic" case).
The 7u spacebar with PCB mount stab work fine but the right stab doesn't fit well for the 6.25u spacebar. I really have to force it to make it fit. I am afraid it will be too tight to let the stab work properly.
I tried costar stab (plate mount) and it works.
Xondat, does the cutout supposed to work with pcb mount cherry stab ?
Thanks
Picture will be easier to understand than my bad english.

It is an original Cherry pcb stab to fit inside this hole i had to force it into and i loose plastic on the side of the stab.
I also have a steel plate and it is much harder to fit it into. I loose a generous slice of plastic...
I also have more rigid transparent stab and it is impossible to fit them into even if they have the same size as Cherry ones. The plastic of the cherry is more flexible.
I guess this cutout need an extra mm or an half mm.
My heart sunk when I couldn't unscrew the last two bolts. Both have a slightly bigger holes so my screwdriver just can't do anything. Now my X60 is just a beautiful kit that I can't open up. I might look for other screwdrivers in my local bike shop but I don't have other solutions I can think of. Any help would be appreciated. :( :( :(

I had the same problem with one of my screws. I went to Home Depot and got this thing called Easy Out or something. They are designed to fix this problem. In theory, you screw it into the top of the socket and it grips the screw and then you unscrew it. But it didn't really work for me. I could have been using it wrong for all I know because I have zero experience with stuff like this. What ended up working is I found a torx driver that was just barely (BARELY) slightly bigger than the sockets and hammered it in and used that to unscrew it. I think the size was T10. Hope that helps! Replacement screws are M3 since you're going to need those as well, and I also found those in the bins at Home Depot.

Thank you! I'll check out the speed out/easy out/screw extractor they offer. I managed to press hard and unscrew the penultimate one so could still use some help.

Built my board and just wanted to say thanks for the great work Xondat. And I'm guessing there will be a new extra plate form since a lot has changed since the first one went out. When should we expect the new form and will it have the same options for plates as the initial form?
What PCB did you end up using?
I have a Blue FaceW PCB as a backup if I have any problems with my NerD60.Quote
What PCB did you end up using?
Black FaceW PCB - I had no problems during the build, worked perfectly!
Anyone know if there are any hhkb slots left? I know I'm late but it can't hurt to ask.

I also had this issue wth Zeal60 Rev.1 as well. I was able to assemble the case by not using the two plate screws in the top left hand corner (near the usb port). Obviously, not an ideal solution but it works

Hmm interesting, does that plate flap around or no when you hit the keys near that corner?
Edit: Thanks for the suggestion! I used some VHB type to counter the slight flapping from ESC to 3 key and it did the job :)
Had some time to build this guy up!! Went for something a little different; ISO layout and lubed zealiostotles. This thing is CRAZY to type on and apparently very loud and annoying for my teammates over discord ;D. Even more excited for the brass plate to pair with my zeal60 whenever it's available. Also, like everyone else, my case is near-perfect aside from a surface scratch that can only be seen if you angle it against the light and really look for it. Thanks again Xondat, you did an excellent job.

Really sad that this isn't going to be my end-game board. It's the perfect form factor for me and I really hoped I could build it for the past year. I was not able to extract the screw myself and hoped to pay someone local who has more experience dealing with hardware issues. I'd imagine the last resort would be just drilling a hole. But I've got other priorities in life so I have to stop trying at this point. If nobody thinks they can fix it, it will end up being a switch tester/keycap gallery here.

Nice! Don't see dolch on too many boards these days. Any chance you want to part with that 1u 0-key? :D
So far it feels great. Put lubed 62g vintage blacks in.
I had the same fitment problem with my NerD60 PCB. Had to push uncomfortably hard to get in to place (Hope it's not going to be too much of pain to get it out).
I will be using a FaceW PCB next time.

Looks great man. Not too difficult but I had to carefully angle and massage in the FaceW USB port in as well. For future design, it might be better to allow a drop in for the usb port instead of threading the port into the case usb slot.

I used it for my build, taken it in and out with no issues! Just have to angle it downwards when putting it in but I never had to force anything.

I'll keep people up to date on MOQs etc. I'll leave this open for a week and may extend if required. I'll invoice at the end of this period.
I also have 3 remaining universal Carbon Fiber plates for sale, $50 each. These are no longer limited to Carbon Editions, so if you have an X60, you can get one. Please PM me if you're interested.
Thanks.

Two questions:
1. The plate only covers modifiers not alphas?
2. Is it clear or slightly frosted?
Thanks in advance!
Still haven't recieved my 3rd board.
What is the issue with shipping the remaining boards?
Can we get an eta on when those will be shipped pls?
My friends who I mentioned had not gotten shipping confirmation in this post (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=82729.msg2471166#msg2471166) are also still waiting.
Any news on the boards that have yet to be sent out? I think most people would appreciate a run of pc plates but only after they actually get their boards. Is anyone else's board afflicted with the stripped bolts issue and is still awaiting shipping?

Both seem to support the WKL bottom row, but the HHKB one has support for split backspace and split right shift only.

I'm looking for a brass hhkb plate if those were made. Sorry I wasn't here for the group buy but tried to read through the thread. Also if anyone has another hhkb version for sale, let me know. Thanks!
Each time I see an update on this thread I remember how nice would have been to be in this GB and have a nice black X60 .... This is one of the finest 60% cases ever made :thumb:

Due to a quantity mix up with the polycarbonate plates, I now have 10 additional ANSI plates. I have 13 total, and these will be $36.25 each. Please PM me if you're interested.
Once all these have sold, I'll most likely do a small run of brass plates.

Should have gotten an X60, I'm such an idiot
If anyone wants to sell a dark grey X60 HHKB let me know!
Is there a spreadsheet somewhere that’d show how many WKL models were made? Getting a growing urge to find one of those beauties :eek:
Thanks for the support all. Will probably get 10-15 ordered in a couple of weeks.Is there a spreadsheet somewhere that’d show how many WKL models were made? Getting a growing urge to find one of those beauties :eek:
Split was 60/20/20 60%/HHKB/WKL.
Personally would say wait for V2 (or join the mini run) ;)

Rebuilt my X60 with polycarbonate plate with 60g silents ;D
I also cleaned the weight a bit.Show Image(https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4745/38785957745_96fcc8efe0_k.jpg)Show Image(https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4655/38785955735_21e02c7b19_k.jpg)Show Image(https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4709/38785952265_83fd71e28b_k.jpg)
It's a very different typing experience. Bottoming out is much softer, and some of the sound gets dampened by the plate. I originally built it with silents on a steel plate which was a bad combo for me because of the harsh bottoming out feel.Rebuilt my X60 with polycarbonate plate with 60g silents ;D

Hows the PC plate vs metal?
Unfortunately the local place is quoting $38 @ 20.
I don't think there is interest for that quantity at that price so going to put this on hold for now & focus on other stuff (unless demand presents itself here).
