I've been talking to E3E...but depending on the tolerances of the PCB pin holes, I believe if they're tight enough for the sockets to be just placed in without solder and should work. http://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/8134-HC-8P3/A114359-ND/1151726 I got these hopefully they're the right size.

Are installing those sockets the only mod you're making? Seems way too easy.

I hope so lol. It's more tedious than it is complex. Though they weren't designed specifically for mechanical switches, they were designed for solderless connections, so I don't see why it wouldn't work. Hope E3E can chime in when he sees this.

"More tedious than complex" describes my experience with most things related to keyboard construction. ("Now do it 131 more times.")

I'm really curious about how this goes. I'll probably order some sockets in any case - if it doesn't work with the VE.A, it should with something else.

Now that I'm thinking about it, I wonder what specifically the Smart68 designer did differently. More Investigation Needed. I'll post back here if I find anything useful.

is there any news about plate/case dxf files? i'm interested in building my own split60 and wanted to see how others are doing it for the cases and plates.

and btw, if the solderless connection works, i want to see how to do it too!!

Looks like I won't be able to build mine until November since I'm waiting on some Zeal parts :(

Looking to be November at this point, due to the long Chinese holiday in October.

Yup. Same for me too. Ordered some stabs. Hopefully VE.A package will arrive safely and everything is perfect, PCB is working, etc. Would be good to make sure to test the PCB, check the casing even if you are not building it yet. I think by Nov, any spare VE.A from zefyr might be put up for sale for any interested buyers, not confirm, just my thought.

Super excited. Got mine yesterday.
Its a lame pic, but thought someone may want to see whats in the box.

I guess I have to learn to solder now! But i'm really hoping someone with some experience can do a bit of trailblazing for us newbies.

Good point :)
We will save spares for unexpected accident.
And put them on sale after 2~3 weeks later.

Just got mines today, everything seems ok, except one of the LEDs (bottom row, 4th one in the pic) occasionally flickers, but seems to go away after being plugged in for awhile.



Now to wait to November for my Zeal parts.

The blinking might be due to a poor solder joint.

We checked LEDs twice, while testing LED and before packaging.
But this can happen because RGB LED is very fragile part.
If flickering happens again, try re-soldering it.
I'll think about what I can do about it also.

no worries Zefyr, you did so much for this drop already  :thumb:
I could probably just resolder if it is problematic, worst case I could probably replace the LED (assuming it's just a part I can buy on the internet)

I received and built mine today! Going to take some time to get used to the layout, but I'm really liking it. Only downside is I received mine with a small chip in the bottom of the left-hand housing.

I put mine together last night.
It's MUCH lighter than I expected - as if it were a magnesium alloy which was used rather than pure aluminum.

Super impressed with the quality and attention to detail.
Super duper happy I got a second PCB in anticipation of the ALPS plates :)

Major kudos to Zephyr and Ildustry for this awesome drop.

Now to wait to November for my Zeal parts.

Just wondering, what Zeal parts did you order? Was considering ordering r4's, and wanted different stabilizers, but ordered everything together with the drop just so I wouldnt have to wait for parts, lol

Stabs and silencing clips, technically I could put it together now with normal stabs, but I don't want to do double work, cause I'm lazy.

Ohhhhhh. Those are the screw in pcb ones right? I was thinking of ordering those myself, but I didnt know if they would be able to used with the VE:A plate/pcb.

Just got mines today, everything seems ok, except one of the LEDs (bottom row, 4th one in the pic) occasionally flickers, but seems to go away after being plugged in for awhile.

Now to wait to November for my Zeal parts.

Just wondering, what Zeal parts did you order? Was considering ordering r4's, and wanted different stabilizers, but ordered everything together with the drop just so I wouldnt have to wait for parts, lol

Stabs and silencing clips, technically I could put it together now with normal stabs, but I don't want to do double work, cause I'm lazy.

Are you talking about the Authentic Cherry PCB & Plate Mount Stabilizers zeal has?
The new transparent stabs

Ohhhhhh. Those are the screw in pcb ones right? I was thinking of ordering those myself, but I didnt know if they would be able to used with the VE:A plate/pcb.

Yea, worse case if it didn't work, I'd have just waited a long time  :))

I hope they work out for you! If they do, I would need to order a set for myself lol
Thanks  :thumb:, looking forward to November  :))

That really sucks. Luckily I signed up for text alerts for when mine arrived today, because they didnt knock or ring the doorbell. Just snuck up and left it in front of the door

Yeah, I'm praying that my leasing office has it, or else I'm going to get to deal trying to pry $600 from the post office

So dumb question. Just got my kit, everything seems to work fine when testing the pcb, which is great. Was looking at the assemble guide, and about the 3 lock leds. was wondering if the kit is supposed to come with those 3 leds. If not, which ones should i buy, and is there anything else I should know. Would be easy to add them later? Probably not im guessing because of the plate

usually will not come with them.  From the assembly guide he uses 1.8mm LEDs.  If you never soldered them in, you could add them later at any time no issues.  Just take it apart and solder them in.

Awesome! thanks, im actually just about to start soldering. How did people break apart the pcb?

usually with 2 sets of pliers very carefully.

The PCB doesn't have SMD resistors soldered on to enable the indicator lights (marked as R8, R9 and R10 on the PCB).
You'd also need so source some 910 ohm SMD resistors (of the correct size) and solder them to the PCB on those pads to get those indicators to work.

Good to know, I may consider doing that myself down the road, I think having the indicator lights might be cool

Mine is apparently waiting at the post office, I'll pick it up at lunch. Unfortunately, I've no time for playing this weekend.

Which might be for the best; still trying to decide on whether to try to socket the caps. If I started fondling the board before making up my mind, well, that would probably make up my mind and I'd start soldering.
