little confused by the plate/weight options. If we want brass we have to buy from a second listing for +$48?

Also no option to select your pcb on the main listing.

Yeah, it was a little confusing initially but I believe you are correct.

I was also wondering about the PCB selection (QMK vs Bootmapper) on the main listing as well...

1. Upgrading the aluminum accessories to brass weight is the $48 option in here (https://en.zfrontier.com/products/foxlab-orange75ac).

2. The default PCB is 32A PCB. Pm me your order number if you want to change to 32u4 PCB.

If I order upgrade to brass accessories on the 2nd upgrade page for $48 that gives me a brass switch plate as well as a brass orange design weight?

Thanks for all your help with others in this thread btw!

it's hard to tell from the pics, but is there a way to add feet or some type of angle to this case?

It's the exact layout I want, but not being able to angle the case kinda kills this for me.

I hope I'm missing something and there is a way to add angle.

As with the Orange 75, to be able to "add to cart" you need to have the "Full Brass - Mirror Gold" kit selected AND the "Mirror Gold" plate and nametag insert color selected. If only one of the two are selected it causes it to be shown as unavailable.

I like to switch between a totally flat and slightly angled setup so I grabbed some 6 degree riser wedges to slide under the board (Bolzen is the brand, skateboard parts.). Soft rubber doesn't damage the case and is easy to move about.

he said it means the default aluminum weight/accessory will be replace by the brass version. You get only one set of brass weight parts.

No more photos currently. The anodizing colors will change batch by batch even from the same factory. The offered color samples best reflects the colors in the final products.

And, can't I remove the "FOX" letter? :)

The insert is for the "FOX" letter. The letter has cutouts for the insert.

Sorry it can't be removed. The idea of making the numpad was proposed by several previous buyers. They want the logo there. I know many people, including me I'd say, want the case clean without legends. However the intuition of this numpad was a bonus product for just several people. I don't even care if no one here is buying it. It's included in this GB only in case some one accidentally like it as is.

No, that option only upgrade your aluminum bottom accessories to brass weight. The plate will still be aluminum version.

No one is better for MAC imo. I'd suggest you to choose the default 32A PCB if you don't know much about QMK. Otherwise QMK is much better than bootmapper client IMO.

you decide the color of the insert, either same or different from the case color.

If it's the same color with the case, the logo will be still visible but not so noticeable.

1. "extra brass plate" means you get both the aluminum plate and an additional brass plate.

2. ''upgrade Aluminum inserts to Brass weights'' means you get the brass weight instead of aluminum bottom accessories. It has nothing to do with plates.

Did I get your message wrong understand?
I accept it was an option to change both the weight and plate. You mentioned weight / accessories, so it was accepted that plates are included.
Does that mean I have to buy extra to change the plate?

Damn hahaha. So we have to pay +96$ to get a full brass keyboard and by paying 48$ we can get an either brass case or a brass plate. Got it. :D

Only thing im confused about now is the ''bottom''. Like,ther's gonna be a brass bottom and an alu top or it's the whole case that'd be brass?

This is the first GB i join so i just wanna make sure. :/

The case has two parts: top and bottom. Both with be aluminum or both will be brass depending on which one you opt for, but you cannot have one piece aluminum and one piece brass in a single kit.

The bottom piece of the case includes a weight (the Orange/Pizza logo). That weight is aluminum by default and "Upgrade Aluminum inserts to Brass weights" means you get the weight in brass instead of aluminum.

The only ways to get a brass plate are to buy an extra one or get the full brass version. There is no option to upgrade your aluminum plate to a brass plate.

Damn hahaha. So we have to pay +96$ to get a full brass keyboard and by paying 48$ we can get an either brass case or a brass plate. Got it. :D

Only thing im confused about now is the ''bottom''. Like,ther's gonna be a brass bottom and an alu top or it's the whole case that'd be brass?

This is the first GB i join so i just wanna make sure. :/

I think you have a misunderstanding about the brass options. Full brass keyboard means the top case, bottom case, plate, and weights are ll brass. The price is $540.

If you want to have brass plate and brass weights on the aluminum housing, you need to choose "upgrade aluminum insert to brass weight" which costs $48 and "extra brass plate" which costs $48 as well.

Some ppl may wonder why you have to buy an extra brass plate instead of replacing the alu plate to brass. For the sake of transparency I'd like to give some explanations. The way we get quote from the factory is that we get per unit price for a whole set of aluminum keyboard. Then we order extra parts separately. As a result, if too many people order brass plates instead of aluminum plates, we are gonna throw away all the leftover aluminum plates at last. On the other side, I fully understand some people only want the brass plate and brass weight and don't want to pay for the default aluminum plate and weights. So the final options you can choose is a result of tradeoffs. The weights can be upgraded to brass. The plate can not.

The case has two parts: top and bottom. Both with be aluminum or both will be brass depending on which one you opt for, but you cannot have one piece aluminum and one piece brass in a single kit.

The bottom piece of the case includes a weight (the Orange/Pizza logo). That weight is aluminum by default and "Upgrade Aluminum inserts to Brass weights" means you get the weight in brass instead of aluminum.

The only ways to get a brass plate are to buy an extra one or get the full brass version. There is no option to upgrade your aluminum plate to a brass plate.

Now it makes sense! Thank you very much. The full brass version is too much,just aluminum for my first build sounds good. Might upgrade to a brass plate, but i've heard that it can tarnish. I saw it's electroplated tho. Thank you once again <3

Im completely ok with having both plates. You can also sell one (although it would be hard) but if you have both,you can try both. Maybe i wont like brass and will switch back.

540$ is too much. The price on this one is really fair compared to what's around here. I just came across many people having mixed thoughts about how good or bad is brass. I'll probably get a brass plate to try both. Personally,i love getting both. If getting JUST the brass plate had a cost of like +30$ i would rather get both for a bit more.

I've got every rookie question answered so will join by the time the renders come. Too hard to decide without getting a look at these keyboards.

Thank you very very much. I hope this one runs smoothly and comes as fast as possible. (even though shipping starts in like 3 months :( )

I will update with some renders soon.

The estimated lead time is not short because we're working with a vendor now. We don't want to take the risk of breaking the terms of the contract. Hopefully the boards can be shipped ahead of time.

You're probably not selecting the brass version of both the case and the plate.  That's the only combination that's valid when doing full brass.

I haven't got a prototype but will soon.

The 32A PCB will be just like the PCB on Orange TKL except the layout is different. The color will be matte green.

The 32u4 PCB is designed by my friend Triangle (from Triangle Lab). It has an USB type C connector. The color will be yellow.

If orange orange weight is what you want, you can choose "sand gold" color for the bottom inserts. It's the same color in the Orange75 prototype.

There's no red color in this round. no plans for R2 as well.

The MAO white will be similar with the color in Orange TKL GB. They won't be exactly the same. We will try to make it brighter but not guaranteed.

Only spacebar supports both. Other keys are cherry PCB mount stabs only due to the multiple layouts.

We will share the file of the plate, in case some ppl want to make special plates (e.g. switchtop removable version, 7u spacebar version, all costar stabs version).

Did you purchase the upgrades separately? You won’t be charged for shipping if you have the kit and the upgrades in one order. Please send me the order so I could request a refund for the shipping. Shipping for the kit will be invoiced after the GB ends.

What is the difference between the two versions?

32A and 32u4 are all commonly used MCUs on keyboard PCBs. 

The 32A version PCB can be easily re-programmed with a software called bootmapper client. bootmapper client has a GUI and is straightforward to use. It can run on Windows OS and OS X.

The 32u4 version PCB can be re-programmed with QMK/TMK. QMK/TMK is an open-sourced code framework written in C/C++. It's more powerful but has a steeper learning curve than bootmapper client. You will have to install a lot of dependency packages on your computer, compile the source codes, and flash the hex file to get the firmware updated. It can be compiled on most Linux distributions, Windows, and OS X.

The 32A version can also be programmed with QMK in theory. I won't bother to port the code tho.

The 32A version we provide in this GB comes with USB mini female connector. The 32u4 version comes with USB Type C female connector. The Type C connector is a little better than mini  on the design perspective in my opinion, not that good you need to throw away a fancy Yarbo cable to get this version tho.

TL; DR: You are a newbie, you are lazy, choose 32A version. You write codes, you are cool, choose 32u4 version.

Post by: macclack on Tue, 24 April 2018, 15:48:12
What is the difference between the two versions?

32A and 32u4 are all commonly used MCUs on keyboard PCBs. 

The 32A version PCB can be easily re-programmed with a software called bootmapper client. bootmapper client has a GUI and is straightforward to use. It can run on Windows OS and OS X.

The 32u4 version PCB can be re-programmed with QMK/TMK. QMK/TMK is an open-sourced code framework written in C/C++. It's more powerful but has a steeper learning curve than bootmapper client. You will have to install a lot of dependency packages on your computer, compile the source codes, and flash the hex file to get the firmware updated. It can be compiled on most Linux distributions, Windows, and OS X.

The 32A version can also be programmed with QMK in theory. I won't bother to port the code tho.

The 32A version we provide in this GB comes with USB mini female connector. The 32u4 version comes with USB Type C female connector. The Type C connector is a little better than mini  on the design perspective in my opinion, not that good you need to throw away a fancy Yarbo cable to get this version tho.

TL; DR: You are a newbie, you are lazy, choose 32A version. You write codes, you are cool, choose 32u4 version.

So I guess that makes me lazy and uncool ;)

Most developers would think compiling QMK codes is cooler than just using a software.

Writing codes is skill everyone should try. It's not just about cool. There's a lot of fun as well. :)

PCB mount stabs. The ones you linked are correct. The spacebar also supports costar stab.

Don't forget to follow Nathan's ultimate guide (https://youtu.be/cD5Zj-ZgMLA) when you install the stabs.

Just confirmed with Ed, it appears the MAO has been shipped to ZF in this batch. I emailed Alex to see if he could double check if we can pay for MAO in this batch. Maybe there are too many sets to ship? Haha. Hopefully we MAO buyers will get some good news soon!

Like most keyboard group buys, you have to pay for the invoice of shipping costs when the board reaches the stage of shipping, as that’s not included in the original cost.

ZF (or alex) should have sent you an email asking for your order information so that they can forward you the appropriate invoice.

Hi all,

Thank you for the support!

The first batch of invoices has been sent. Should you be able to pay the shipping fee within the following hours, we will hopefully get all paid invoices out tomorrow.

I will spend 2-3 hours after normal working hours (after EST 7 or 8 pm) to focus on sorting out the all the emails and packages regarding this GB. I believe this is the best timeframe for this job as Asian ppl are at night but before sleep mostly, EU ppl are in the afternoon and NA ppl are in the morning or getting up soon. So I could collect replies and payments over night and confirm them the following day.

Sorry for the long wait :( I will move as fast as possible

Best,
Alex

That's strange. The product page on ZF says like this;

Shipping not included in pricing due to specific nature of this group buy
•Shipping fee will be invoiced separately after group buy

replied to the email too, waiting for shipping invoice. Though, this GB seems larger than the Orange TKL GB, I think there were only 40 in that one. Anyone hear any numbers as to how many got in on this one? 

Starting to feel the pressure to finish building the switches for this!

Hi all,

Just email you guys an update via email. First batch will be collected by DHL today and I am again sorry for the long wait.

We are currently handling 3 different keyboard group shipping this week and well over 100+ boards to check, pack and ship. Will finish shipping next week.

Best,
Alex

To follow-up on this, the plate and case holes are 4.5mm. So, I imagine an LED 4.5mm or smaller would be fine.

DHL's tracking says my keyboard has an estimated delivery date of today...but it also doesn't say anything about even being out for delivery yet, the last scans was a couple states away, and it's almost 6pm already...but it still says it will be delivered today.

I don't believe you, DHL.

Here is hoping I get it tomorrow and with the Seattle mechanical keyboard meetup on Saturday maybe I can do a very quick build...

Post by: vilagefool on Thu, 26 July 2018, 20:13:27
Anyone build theirs yet? Holy tolerances Batman!

Hopefully it's just the (ALU) plate I got, but I had to sand/clean up 9 switch holes just to get a switch to fit in. Also had to sand the space stab holes before they'd fit (and it's still a really tight fit).

I'm test fitting switches in all holes before getting any further in assembly.

update: Took more adjustments than I expected. Had to considerably sand a few of the switch holes and space stab holes to get fits. Down to my last few switches to fit. Not that it should matter, but the switches are using Cherry MX black bases.

Thanks, I didn't notice that.  I have everything set up the way I want it now.  Typing on the keyboard right now in fact.  Wasn't sure which code to use for the split backspace I'm using but then I realized there was an extra one in the function row.  It was a little confusing but that seemed to be it.

Overall I'm pretty happy with it so far.  If I have a complaint it's the total lack of any angle to the case at all...which I knew about when I ordered it but mn does it feel weird to type on.  I have to prop it up on something for my sanity...I don't know how you guys type on keyboards like this.

The is my first build with Kailh's speed bronze switches too...they're actually pretty nice.  Feel very similar to box whites except the actuation point and click is a bit higher (that's the 'speed' part...) and the weighting is just a tad heavier...which is a good thing in my opinion because whites are pretty light.  And they're not box switches so they shouldn't destroy my keycaps, yay!

Yea, GMK screw in stabs. However this was only with the brass plate, the aluminium plate was fine.
I soldered 3 LEDs on, only the top one lights up for me. I think it's a function layer indicator? Still can't get the other 2 to light up though :(

After seeing other's pics of their kits, I'm starting to think my aluminum plate slipped through QC. I had high expectations from the Orange TKL GB (which is still my daily driver).

I had to grind out 15 of the switch holes just to squeeze something in because they looked like this:

Most of the burrs were on the bottom 2 rows.

The finished board looks amazing! The MAO White looks more gray to me, and reminds me of a ceramic finish.

The MAO is neutral enough any set will work with it imo, top of my head Hyperfuse will be a nice combo. But if you are looking to keep the rounded flat aesthetics then XDA will enhance that feel. Or if you really want to go out on a limb, G20 from PMK on the Orange75 will be a real head-turner.

To followup on this, yes the screws are M2.5 x9mm.

I replaced with black M2.5x10mm screws so match the black weight.

There are 9 brass kits are being made the third time. I guess yours is in that batch if you haven't received the shipping notice.

PVD has been proven extremely difficult to control the quality. The prototype was almost perfect tho.

PVD is very expensive as well. We've spent much much more money than you paid for on the kits. Fortunately, the factory is improving the quality as I can see. I hope the third batch will turn out to be good.

I may sell some of the early batches of brass kits as b-stock at low price after all kits are delivered.

Anyone know if there is an easy to use or compatible default on https://config.qmk.fm ?

I finally got around to building this thing and surprisingly have never had to compile a keyboard from scratch because there has always been a handy dandy tool. Or if there is an easy "how to create a layout and compile your QMK firmware" guide. Kind of lost when all I want is for Escape to work, and have the right side of the keyboard go from top to bottom "Home -> PgUp -> PgDn -> End" instead of the default.

EDIT: I've gone down the rabbit hole of "QMK Firmware Tutorial - MSYS2, and Drivers (Part 1)" at Youtube, and almost an hour later I'm trying to use a keymap.c file and it is just full of a bunch of BS that is nothing like the tutorial. This is the file I got from the fox-lab/qmk_firmware github. This is the most work I've ever done to enable a key and remap two keys. If someone could create a default at https://config.qmk.fm I'm willing to pay you for your time because I'm getting nowhere. Plus this would save countless others considerable time.

This is fun:
Quote
make Orange75:keymaps
QMK Firmware 0.6.124
keyboards/Orange75/rules.mk:7: *** missing separator.  Stop.

If I knew QMK required so much ****ery I would have just paid someone $50 to map 5 keys for me  :-X

I really feel like I'm missing something, the instruction manual has one line to get this thing working "make orange75:default".

EDIT: Finally got it working. What a PITA. If someone makes an easy autoflash and or adds Orange75 to config.qmk.fm I'll donate

QMK Configurator support for the Orange75 QMK version is hopefully working now:

https://config.qmk.fm/#/orange75/LAYOUT

It's untested because I don't own the board in question.

Here's a keymap JSON file of the default keymap.
