How is the plate mounted? Does the pcb support QMK? Can we get some pictures of the board from a side profile?plate mounted with TOP part
How many pounds does the keyboard weigh?:cool:
1.3kg/ kit ( plate aluminium + no assembly)
1.5kg/ kit (plate brass + no assembly)
Also, I think you forgot to post the link to actually purchase the keyboard XD
Liking the design, I feel I have to check this everytime these days, plate thickness?
*Edit* Small gripe/suggestion (and apologies I missed the IC on this one), would it be possible to remove the 'slots' linking the spacebar stabilisers to the spacebar switch?
Do you have any pictures of the build prototype?You can check on the top of the topic.
Could we get a photo of the side of it? So we can see the height of the board on the desk. I'm still wary of the front height.
So keyboard can be built without plate? Or there will be a different plate included?

OK, I will take a picture after finishing the assembly. But I can say that it is quite thin, even when use the diffuser.So keyboard can be built without plate? Or there will be a different plate included?
No, keyboard just can built with my plate, but plate will included in kit.
Is there a limit to how many are available?
Is an aluminum plate included with the brass price?
Filled out the formTHanks men
Is an aluminum plate included with the brass price?Yes, aluminum plate will come with brass plate.
wait so the brass plate option is +50 and it replaces the existing alu plate or will it come extra.it come like extra
Is there a limit to how many are available?
In the IC QuiFang said it would only be a small run of around 10~ boards but never confirmed if that was 100%, and the GB OP doesn't mention anything.
Are we able to get a completely assembled photo?
Is there a limit to how many are available?I'm not limited, however I still expect to reach ~ 15

Do you have any photos of the completed board with the diffuser on? I'm really interested in joining but not yet fully convinced.

Same here. I've been keen on this since early in the IC but am hesitant to pull the trigger until I've seen a fully assembled photo of the proto.
So with one day left I'm guessing we won't see a fully assembled shot before the GB is over?

hope even with those that failed to pay that this board goes through.
Since Quifang has disappeared for 2 weeks, I've filed a dispute with Paypal. Quifang now has 10 days to respond to that dispute on Paypal or the money gets charged back to me. Hopefully that's a better incentive for Quifang to respond to everyone than forum posts and DMs alone.

thanks for this. I know we are all taking risks with this buy since it is relatively small without any updates after payment. Please let us know any development. Or I may have to abandon this buy as well.
IIRC Paypal has 180 days buyer protection

What did you file the dispute as? Since it's a GB you can't say "Item Not Received" or "Item not as described"
hope QiuFang will resolve this. Was actually looking forward to this board :(
guys, i just got back from the trip. I went to the temple and learned Buddhist scriptures. And now im back. Paypal was held until 4 August so I decided to start working on that date. Now the paypal balance is ~ $ 1k5 and the total will be around $ 2k6. So please wait a few days to paypal pay enough (and especially you have contract with paypal). So I can go shopping for materials.
Thanks you
If you can not trust me, say I want to withdraw. I also do not want to know what your reason is. And I will remove your name from the list, anyway I'm waiting for paypal to be able to start buying raw materials.Are you serious?
What kind of fairness? while I have not expired but paypal hold to buy materials. Do you want to see paypal email notice hold period?I do trust you.
You want me to have a bill from the factory, this is China. And if appear "bill" is licensed by the factory, it certainly would not have cost $ 220 for 1 kit.
I do not inform people about my thought as well as my paypal hold 24 days, which is my fault. This is the first time I think anyone will be held by PayPal.
And finally, apart from the most sincere apologies. I suggest everyone calm, close case in paypal. So I can easily get money and buy raw materials. If I can not prove that I am buying raw materials or cnc. At that time people open case in paypal not late. Right ?
And just so you know I love your design and would love to get it.What kind of fairness? while I have not expired but paypal hold to buy materials. Do you want to see paypal email notice hold period?I do trust you.

I just wanted a confirmation (of course it wouldn't say 220) after the long period without communication

is this the first group buy you have run? here is your situation -
you left the group buy unattended, not telling buyers where you have gone after they sent you their money.
without updates, people get scared and issue a refund process with paypal
now, to earn trust back you need to provide proof of your progress.
Please do it! I will close my dispute as well, in that case

Basically this. If you had told us after the GB ended that the funds would be held until August 4, and that you would be going away, none of this would have happened. You are a newcomer and not an established member of Geekhack or reddit. I have no idea who you are. I gave you over $300 and heard nothing from you for 3 weeks. Of course I am worried.
If you post a screenshot of your Paypal account holding funds then I will close my dispute.

CNC is machining? I suppose another couple of weeks for polishing and anodizing. How are the pcbs?
QiuFang, any updates?
do you have any pictures of the PCB? I am curious how it looks.
CNC phase is almost finished, just a bit more with the plate.Are the cases supposed to be so rough after CNC? Sorry, am new to this.
I produced 11/11 case Owl. We have 7 buyers and one set for me. So we have 3 left over sets.

The three at the top look like they're complete, though it's still hard to tell what state they're in from the photo. The bottom ones can't be the end result, they look rough as ****.
The proto had pretty visible marks from the anno; but I just put that down to being the proto.
I see. In that case, may I know when the revised expected shipping date will be?CNC phase is almost finished, just a bit more with the plate.Are the cases supposed to be so rough after CNC? Sorry, am new to this.

Anodizing is the technology, but before entering the anodizing segment. We need to treat the surface. After finishing cnc I will try to assemble to make sure they have no technical error. Then it will be worn to polish the mirror, and then the sand blast. The last one is anodizing.
Segments such as mirrors / sand blast usually make it fast and closed. so almost no one mentioned.
And how specific the technique of each stage, it can be considered the secret of each production unit. So, people should only care about the end result.

Wait for Round 2 to see what color I can add.
Neat little board. Kinda wish I had been in the GB.
Anodizing phase begins today.Cool :thumb:
As correctly estimated, the entire plant will finish this weekend.

hmm, the polishing seems a bit confusing. I had to ask them to switch to polish by hand.
But luckily the numbers are quite small, so it does not affect deadlines too much.
Thank you for your patience.

PCB has been handed to us for quite some time, and I'm slowly solder each pcb
Or, more importantly, pictures of the CNC and ano job? Would rather get a good look at the board before even thinking about when it's coming to me, :)
QiuFang, any updates?
Sorry guys, I forgot to take that as I have you here. hahacool, thanks for the update.
btw, I've been doing some other projects and forgot to update you.
Now is the important part:
1. The anodizing workshop told me it was "done" but they have not shipped back to me yet.
2. Plate brass recently completed the rough ... This weekend I will direct bearing away to polish pile plate and antioxidant coating.
3. Because the anodizing workshop is a bit far, so I can not go directly to get the goods.
If you have any questions please feel free to ask.

Any word on when they will ship them back to you? If everyone is happy with ano results, can we expect to have these in hand by the end of the year?
I still think its fishy if he hasn’t posted any pics whatsoever of anything at this point. I call BS on whatever he’s saying till he shows us proof. Come on qiufang.

Yeah, I mean I was hoping not to have to say it like this, but the whole thing has been super suss from the get go. I understand that this is Qui's first GB which he was clear about in the OP; this being my first GB outside of Massdrop though has left me feeling pretty sour about the whole thing. Honestly, this whole experience has been pretty f****** woeful.
From Qui's "10 week roadmap" we're now in week 14 with no indication of whether or not the boards even exist outside of a single photo from when they were being CNC'd. We've been told for awhile now that he has the PCB's but hasn't been able to give updates on them or show photos of them. He has been prone to straight up disappearing for long periods; including completely ghosting for several weeks after starting the GB (If you knew you were going on this trip, why did you not start the GB after returning?) - I'm all for waiting as long as it takes for the board to be perfected before delivery, but I'd also like some kind of sign that things are actually progressing.
Honestly, in the nicest way possible, even if this GB is successful Qui I would strongly consider not running further buys in the future. This isn't a jab at you or me trying to be pessimistic in the slightest, but I genuinely feel you don't have the capacity to run a GB. If your buyers are going to hand over as much money as you've been given to deliver something, the least you can do is provide prompt updates when they're requested (Especially when you yourself are posting things like "If you have any questions please feel free to ask." and then again just vanishing for a week with no answer...).

So PayPal won't let me open a dispute because I've opened one before and it was marked as resolved. If this falls through I'm basically ****edCan't you contact them through their general support email/ number etc.?

Yes, I just realized that after some searching. Will call Visa on Mondayjust heads about opening a dispute directly with visa or mastercard. I am not a lawyer but the way i read it when I looked at that option. Paypal pretty much has the right to ban your account, ban you from using paypal services every again, and Freeze any assets in the account. I would assume basically they are saying if you do a charge back on them. There taking what ever funds you have on the account to cover the cost. Then banning you from the service. Once again I am not a lawyer and I easily could have misread. I would totally double check all that.

PP refund went through after not getting any updates. Unlike Audax I'm done with this board even if it does come about; the board could turn out amazing, but the way Qui has handled this was so **** I don't feel the need to continue dealing with him.
Good luck to those stuck without the ability to get a refund.
