I get a permission error on my google apps account that I am in a different organization which doesn't have permission.
I get redirected to ASU on an incognito tab.
Hopefully someone can offer an alternative for international shipping; that cost is pretty crippling.

Don't do flat rate priority. First class international is the way to go.

I just go to USPS.com and calculate the rate to Great Britain, since most int'l destinations cost the same. You need to know your package dimensions and weight.
The plate and case can be anodized independently in the following colors: Black, Silver, Teal, Purple, and Red.

So what is the color of your case/plate in the picture? It seems kinda orange to me.
Count me in. I cant wait to finally add a couple of 40's to my collection.

The orange looks nice. Not sure I can swing it so close to the JD45 and Planck buys though :-\ Guess we will see closer to the end of the buy. What do you think wallet?
Wow, this is gorgeous. Well done.
Loving this idea! I'm not that good at telling key sizes by image but it looks like...
The FN1 and CTRL are interchangeable and are 1.25u?
The left Shift and Backspace are 1.75u?
The right FN1 is 1.5u?
The bottom row is 1.5u, 1.5u, 1.25u, 2.25u, 2.25u, 1.25u, 1.5u, 1.75u?
If I'm right does that mean that the "Game" keycap can't be replaced if I use this keyset?
I have more key sets than I know what to do with and I'm thinking that I may have something I can use also but not sure yet.

Is that case flat or angled? This is a very cool board! Especially since teal will be available!
Hmm... I've been wanting another 40% since I sold my planck (couldn't get used to the ortho layout) so this looks like it might be perfect for me! I'll have to think about it though... My wallet is hurting from some fairly sizeable rc purchases recently... I think I'll probably get in on this though!!!Is that case flat or angled? This is a very cool board!

Thanks for the kind words! The case is flat

eyyy so orange an option yet lol
eyyy so orange an option yet lolIt's there, I expect an order ;)
I am interested in the board, is it programmable? New to building KBs.
Any chance you can post an album of the finished KB? I'd like to see some examples if possible.
I wanted to drop by and say well done! I really like the orange! :thumb:Thank you. The orange came out better than I imagined, I'm really happy with it

That orange is really nice. It may be a game changer for me. Any chance we could see samples of the other colors?

you've seen the orange. The silver will look very similar to the case before it was anodized.
90 kits remain, also 1/5 of the moq has been reached!

Congrats! Good to hear we have a nice start on these. :thumb:
Joined!Awesome! Not a huge deal if you opt out of the keycaps, but we do need 50 sets to run them ;)
I joined the planck on massdrop but I think I may like this layout better, but just to be safe I'll buy both ;)
Is it a big deal if I later decide I don't want the keycaps?
Do I need plate or PCB mounted switches?
Okay, thanks.You can reprogram them to whatever you like. As far as the caps go, if you used a 1 unit on he right that might work, I'll have to check
How customisable is the bottom row? I'd like to swap space and enter, but presume I'd need to swap some of the other modifiers to make it fit - is that possible?
I really like this keyboard and I feel I'm probably dragging my feet on joining but the bottom row kind of limits the key choices out there, would GB's that offer HHKB or other add-ons be able to fit this in general?With appropriate kit offerings you should be able to get caps to fit. I am also planning out some keycap group buys targeted at 40% boards
30 kits sold! only 20 to go to hit MOQ
70 spots remain...
All aboard the miniVan hype train30 kits sold! only 20 to go to hit MOQ

Who else is gonna take a ride?! ;)
One question regarding the caps:I could add two keys without much cost.
Can you please add ISO-compatible z and y caps? (maybe for a little more/as extra? Or is it possible to just buy the modifiers?)
I assume it will be programmable with EasyAVR or something like that?
In ISO z and y swaps there places + the , and . Are different.If it's just the y and z I can add that
I do not know how demand is
Are those SA keycaps on the sample orange version of your board?Yes, the Hack'd by Geeks set. They look quite nice
With 2 days to go, has MOQ been hit yet?Yes moq has been hit

Has it been exceeded? I was just wondering in the case that someone doesn't pay their invoice.
Great to hear. Looking forward to this.:D thanks for your support!
Hi, this is my first gb on this site. Are we supposed to get an order confirmation or a link to paybafter submitting an order, or will those come after the gb closes? I placed an order earlier but haven't received anything yet, so i wanted to make sure the order went through ok before it closes. Thanks!I saw your order come in. I will be sending out invoices after the gb closes tomorrow night.
Is there a way we can see and verify our order?I will be verifying that at the end with everyone who has joined. If you want to verify now, the easiest way is to email me at thevankeyboards@gmail.com
Alright you got me, I'm in! Going to have to sell a board or two, but I've really been itching for a 40% board and this looks like just the thing.Sounds good, we can figure out the shipping address when the time comes :)
I might have to change my shipping address depending on when it ships out though, I'm going to be moving in the middle of June.
Invoices are out, 1 week to pay. Please pm me or email at thevankeyboards@gmail.com if you have any issues at all

I get it now. You have to go in like you're going to pay. I was just looking at the e-mail; it seems like that stuff would be on there too. But it's not.Hmm yeah, not sure why PayPal doesn't put it in both places. Everything look good?

Hope everything will run smoothly for you guys.
Great work on getting this started quickly! Thanks for your efforts!Thank you! This wouldn't be possible without all of you who have believed in this project, so thank you to everyone who has joined and helped make this a reality!
Is it to late to change the plate color?No, send the order change to thevankeyboards@gmail.com and I'll get it updated for you
All group buy participants, I will be shipping to the address on file with PayPal. If you need your order shipped to another address, please send an email to thevankeyboards@gmail.com with your new address and your PayPal email.

You're doing an amazing job with this GB so far!
Invoice paid! :cool: Thanks again for your efforts in organizing this!Thanks for your support and you are welcome!
I-it's all moving so fast!That's what you get from a pre-tested production chain! We are on track for shipping in early June, the only thing I'm waiting to hear back on is updated lead time for the keycaps. SP quoted me 4-6 weeks so hopefully that hasn't changed.
This Van must be a GMC Vandura. At least, as much as this plan is coming together. :))I love it when a plan come together! There were actually some orders with black and red for the colors. So not far off!

I reached out to Signature Plastics and East Valley Precision for status updates this morning. The KeyCaps on still on schedule and should be shipped mid June. The cases and plates are finished and I just picked them up!
Anodizing will be complete this week and I should start shipping the capless orders by the end of the week!

What pin is the backlight array connected to?
B2
I've actually modified the firmware to enable it based on a toggle layer with nothing on it. Not a pwm pin but could be done in software :/B2
Backlight is toggled by the caps lock state. Easy enough to change though.
Hmmm... Not a PWM pin though, so can only be on or off.

Van #0008 :thumb:This is awesome! Thanks for posting. I have noticed the same issue with the mount hole to the left of the 2.25 key.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/ZTdccTk.jpg)Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/5YgYwMf.jpg)Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/q4XMyKG.jpg)Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/sYVieaP.jpg)
67g tactile Zealios
2x3x4 white LEDs inside the switches
PMK grab bag SA keycaps
Some assembly notes:
- PCB is blank, no pre loaded firmware. There is no power/status LED.
- The hole in the PCB for the screw to the left of the first stabilizer is off center. I drill it out with a small drill to make the screw fit.
- Resistors for LEDs are 330ohm. With white LEDs that's about 5mA each, with red/green it will be closer to 10mA each.
- PCB pins of Zealios fit snugly, not super tight like in some other PCBs
- Bottom of plate is a little rough/sharp careful not cut yourself
Fit an finish on the case is excellent. :thumb: Quite a difference to the floating keys design of the Planck.
Everything aligned perfectly except for the one screw hole.
Looking forward to your next project! :thumb:

The Van... Delivered! (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=33130.msg2201883#msg2201883):D
My order, #29, was delivered today. I have to say I've been very impressed by this group buy. The attention to detail Evan put into this really shows, from the components themselves, the various timely updates, to the way everything was carefully packed, right down to the hand written note and bonus stickers included in the package. Thanks Evan, you did a great job. In all honesty, my Van probably won't see much use, but it looks great on my desk. I've heard whispers of a Cargo Van in the works, if you decide to do a full size build, I will definitely be purchasing one or two. :DThanks Mike! I definitely have some "bigger" projects in the works ;)

I'm #25 here. Came home to a package and was thrilled to see the board. I can echo everything Mike said. Great group buy, consistent updates, quick turnaround, and fantastic care in the end result. You could really tell that this was more than an organized buy, it was a passion project. I look forward to the future projects you have been alluding to do. Back to this buy though. As a pen nerd, I very much appreciated the handwritten note. Only other place I ever get that from is Goulet (fountain pen/ink/accessory vendor, and while its something I look forward to, their notes are really a marketing tool to pimp the inks they sell). Everything inside looks great and was packed meticulously. Love the color and quality of the case. I was going to wait for my next set of Zealios and some SIPs, but having it in front of me, I think I might just use some blues I have on hand, just because I'm pretty excited to get this built. Will probably use this for writing prose on my laptop.
Thanks Evan, and congrats on a great buy.
i may be interested in JUST a PCB if that is an optionPm me :)
How come the leftovers price is $105 more than the group buy?
How come the leftovers price is $105 more than the group buy?
Because there is no wait for production. I took on the cost of all the extra units to get to production moq. I also charged very little over production cost for the gb. I feel it's a fair markup, you're free to disagree.

The second sentence makes it make sense. I don't disagree, although I was interested in it a while back. Looks like it turned out great.

Thanks, Evan!
would love a set of those midnight drive caps in dsa :thumb: hope you have some plans on a full release!Will be putting together a full set of midnight drive :) hopefully have info in the next week or so on timing
Thanks Evangs,Sweet
Just picked up my kit today. Now got to pick up a soldering iron & I'm good!
I said I'd do a typing video on this thing once I got the hang of it so here it is:This is awesome. Case and caps should hopefully drop the end of this month!
Case r2 and alps keyset when? :D
So upset that I missed this! Just wanted to drop in and say that I love the looks, and I'll keep my eyes peeled in case there is a v2 in the works :thumb:R2 Massdrop end of month!
Hey Evan, are the round 2 caps going to have bars/scoops on the F/J keys? I love the set, but the lack of indicators throws me off.Yes, they will be scooped. Midnight drive was actually supposed to have bars, but somehow that got missed.
Are you saying that there will be R2 on Massdrop at the end of the month??? :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:So upset that I missed this! Just wanted to drop in and say that I love the looks, and I'll keep my eyes peeled in case there is a v2 in the works :thumb:R2 Massdrop end of month!

Good thing I know, now I can start saving up my pennies and nickels and food money :thumb:
I'm so happy now. My only complaint is that you don't have an option for green anodized case, but I suppose it would be difficult to do that so soon for R2.That's exactly what I'm saying :DAre you saying that there will be R2 on Massdrop at the end of the month??? :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:So upset that I missed this!

I lubed the gateron reds before soldering and oh boy, I have underestimated smooth linear switches.
I also used two cherry lock switches but i'm still experimenting the usability with them. I may end up removing the second one.
This is a solid board, thanks for running this buy evangs.

Great photos. Do you feel that the lubed Gateron Reds are significantly different from stock Gat Reds? I'm planning on using them in my next build, and I'm wondering if it's worth the hassle of lubing them.
