[GB] CNC Anodized aluminum case & separable cable for Filco TKL(87) keyboard

[Puddsy]

Any chance this would fit an ISO Majestouch-2?

plate dimensions are the same, so yes

[sennin32]

Any updates on the numbers? I really would like this GB to go ahead!

Would like to know this also.

I'd like to know too before committing, as I'd rather not lose out on conversion fees if it's still far away.

Around 15 set short now.
I'll post update on reddit tomorrow.
I think it is highly possible to get MoQ.

And refund won't charge any fee I think.

sennin, is there a way to get an extra break out board with my order?

Mmmm... we didn't plan to sell the PCB only

[sennin32]

I think the PCB is the same

Pretty sure there's absolutely no physical difference between ANSI and ISO versions of this particular keyboard aside from the layout

+1  They should be the same.

Thanks guys! I'm ordering two.

If you open any Filco keyboards, you'll find that the PCB layout fits several different keyboards layout.
The only different is the software in controller I guess.
(Maybe the software is also the same!? I didn't spend much time to trace the PCB layout)

Just saw this: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/High-Quality-Anodized-Aluminum-Case-Shell-For-Filco-87-Tenkeyless-Mechanical-Keyboard-Including-Key-line-separation/32617566709.html

Do you think there are a lot of differences between these cases?

Major different is that the case on Aliexpress is not angled case.
So they have feet include.
The bottom and PCB is slightly different.

The PCB supports Japanese, ANSI and ISO layout only, but you need a separate plate to support each layout and a separate controller.

[Stresemann]

I am wondering if this case is compatible with Filco Majestouch Convertible 2.

Anyone know ?

[s3vv4]

I want to change my ordered color, but you didn't respond yet, is it possible?

Do you have order #?
I will check it for you

Sorry, took some time to find out the order confirmation landed in my junkmail, the order nr. is #000000970.
Thanks

Is that the one where the cable sticks out of the end, or is the USB port on the bottom somewhere?

I think it won't support Convertible ver.
The PCB size is different.

Right, I forgot the plate haha.
I found the bottom row also has several layout.
But I didn't check it carefully.

So is this going through? =)

You mentioned we were 15 units short on 7/22. And I noticed the GB page is gone.

[punksinatra]

Any extra cases? This is shipping from Taiwan?

Hey Sennin can you update us on the MOQ situation? Since there was no notification of refunds, I assume we're still going ahead?

I'd be interested to know as well if there are any extra's available?

[punksinatra]

Hi @sennin32

Does the gray look something like this http://imgur.com/a/J4XX8?

If you have any extras for the gray please let me know. I am interested to get one

Hard to tell from the link you provide.
Every pic look like different color due to light setting.
But I think it will be close to the color.
Maybe a little lighter or darker.

Ok thanks. Are you pushing for the groupbuy? Will there be extras? If yes what colors? Thanks

[mnm]

I guess this is not happening. Too bad, since there is no word on a refund and no other communication I will start the paypal disputes.

[bciamny]

sennin is a pretty good seller so i don't think you need to make a paypal dispute quite yet. the expected timeline was the end of the month for shipping to begin and paypal protection exists for 6 months from what i understand.

i think he has placed the order and will sell additional units for a markup through his store. although it would be nice if he could confirm in this thread

He's pretty good. I bought switches from him and it was the quickest GB.

[mnm]

Yeah I am sure he is a good seller, but seems pretty basic to confirm. In your experience after the GB ends there should be no communication? Why ignore a direct question about confirmation but answer about extras? I dont think I am being unreasonable.

[sennin32]

Hi,
We're processing this GB @@
The case is doing anodizing now.
Sorry for let you misunderstand.

Thanks for the update Sennin, looking forward to getting them =)

@Sennin

I saw a post from you about having 15 sets to meet MOQ.. Just like to confirm if there will be extras in gray color. Thanks

Anodizing for defect cases finished.
We'll check them all and take some pic in next few days!

Yay!

Got all the parts ordered for 3 of these, just waiting on PCBs and the cases to arrive... =)

They look great!

Looks awesome, although now I'm interested in that full-size case I see in the album =)

[wholypantalones]

Are these possibly shipping soon, or are we still at the end of September?

Is it just the photos or does the black have uneven anodising?

I hope it's just finger smudges as I've ordered a black one..

From the looks of this, it seems that the PCB/plate is being attached to the case with through PCB/plate screws into the gap between the F-row and the Num-row. I can't tell from the pictures, but it would seem then that the bottom of the plate/pcb must be secured with some tabs (or screws with a lip) that lip over the lower part of the plate to hold it in the case.

If that is correct, I've seen this method of holding the plate/pcb before in the MKC Geekey 87A. That's interesting because the MKC Geekey 87a shares its PCB and plate design with the Ganss GS87 and Noppoo Mid 87, which are also rumored to fit in a Filco case.

I have an MKC Geekey 87a (non-working) and a Ganss GS87 on order (to donate parts into the MKC case). I'm almost willing to order this case when it is available in the Doyu store just to try and confirm. At the very least, if it doesn't work I'll have an excuse to buy a Filco finally.
