So my red scarf shipped the 11th of February... More then a month later and my tracking still says what it said when it first left China

I hate to be one of those guys, but if anyone is willing to part with their order I'll gladly buy and i'm okay with buying at a mark up for your time.

any updates? still waiting on production?

Yeah, I guess our order didn't get in on the first batch or some such.

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #205 on:** Tue, 28 April 2015, 14:59:12 »

They're here!

I'm getting all the parts sorted into your individual orders.
For those that would like to have me assemble I have the time to do so for a limited number. If you would like MX blacks I have some on hand. If you would like some other type of switch you can either send them to me if you have them, or I can order some from MK.com or something.
I do only have a very limited number of stabilizers though. Luckily I can assemble without them due to the plate design, so you can always add them in later with zero trouble when you can get some.
As for LED, same thing goes as with switch, if you have some you would like to have used you can send them to me, or I can find some place to order... I have some on hand but I am not sure the quantity and colors just now. I will have to find them and make sure before I offer any options there.

If you want to have me source switch and/or LED please post HERE IN THIS THREAD specify what varieties you would want, this way people can see what is being ordered by others and can potentially get better prices on bulk option.

Basic assembly cost will be $20. Basic assembly means I solder in parts on desired layout, test it function properly and that is all. I am not willing to do any extra customization to switches and that sort of thing. All additional parts not included in the kit which need to be added will be charged at cost.

*woops! wrong thread, thought this was the rs84, hehe, sorry.

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #207 on:** Tue, 28 April 2015, 15:17:04 »

Sure, for those that don't need anything else if you want to reply that too so I know and can get it out immediately that is also great.

blighty · « **Reply #208 on:** Tue, 28 April 2015, 15:21:31 »

Nice! Glad the boards made it to you. I don't need any extra ****e, so please feel free to ship the kit at your earliest convenience. Thanks!

geniekid · « **Reply #209 on:** Tue, 28 April 2015, 15:25:45 »

Yay! Just the parts for me please!

Jixr · « **Reply #210 on:** Tue, 28 April 2015, 15:33:33 »

whoooooooooo!

VERY EXCITE. ITS NICE...

Just the parts for me!

Spopepro · « **Reply #211 on:** Tue, 28 April 2015, 15:33:51 »

Good news. I will not be asking for anything additional, ship at your convenience.

Jixr · « **Reply #212 on:** Tue, 28 April 2015, 16:30:11 »

Ivan could you post a pic of the PCB? i'm curious about it and I'm trying to figure out if I need any more additional parts I need to order for my build.

Thanks!

Friskywhisker · « **Reply #213 on:** Tue, 28 April 2015, 17:01:09 »

Great to hear they're on-hand, I won't need any assembly so feel free to ship out the kit on its own. Thanks Ivan!

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #214 on:** Wed, 29 April 2015, 00:09:49 »

For those of you that confirmed to ship, they will be picked up tomorrow.
All other orders are assembled and ready to go.

Sorry, I can't take any reasonable detail picture with my ****ty phone... but everything it needs is SMD and presolder. You only need to add the switch and LED if desired, nothing else should be required.

VesperSAINT · « **Reply #215 on:** Wed, 29 April 2015, 00:40:16 »

Ooo!!! Just a day after I ask... this happens

I would just like my parts shipped to me!

Thank you!

Please let me know if anything.

Glod · « **Reply #216 on:** Wed, 29 April 2015, 00:58:56 »

Ship it, no assembly

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #217 on:** Wed, 29 April 2015, 01:01:44 »

I screwed down all the PCB and bezels and feet together to make sure everything was all good, accounted for and prevent any of the small part from getting lost. I figure this should be better for shipping too so not so much stuff is loose banging around.

jdcarpe · « **Reply #218 on:** Wed, 29 April 2015, 06:33:10 »

Great news! You can go ahead and ship mine out, please. Thanks again, Ivan.

Already got some gateron switches for this baby, please ship it out Ivan. Thanks!

Would you be able to post the tracking numbers for us, please?

edit: Picked it up today. Thanks! Hope to build it up next week.

quaxar · « **Reply #226 on:** Thu, 30 April 2015, 00:03:17 »

I don't need assembly for mine either, this set looks like fun to set up

poog · « **Reply #227 on:** Thu, 30 April 2015, 23:49:24 »

you can ship mine as well at your convenience

Jixr · « **Reply #228 on:** Fri, 01 May 2015, 17:26:09 »

Ivan, Got my scarf in,

Just another thank you for all your work you do for the community, can't wait to get my r4 caps from you to put on this bad boy.

Is there any list or documentation about programming or anything like that?

Also, i took over someone elses order, and I have the dark gray feet that I won't be using, if anyone wants feet but didn't buy them I'll resell them.

All orders are shipped.
After I get all the black PBTs shipped, and get this server project I have going done I hope I find sometime to get mine built and programmed... then maybe I can answer questions about that.

Jixr · « **Reply #231 on:** Sat, 02 May 2015, 12:17:24 »

Awesome, got mine all programmed up.

Also, if anyone has a plate they are not using, I'd love to buy it off you.

Thanks

Jixr · « **Reply #232 on:** Tue, 05 May 2015, 14:23:25 »

if anyone figured out how to include the default function layer ( so you can control the lights and stuff via keyboard ) to the .eep let me know.

I can't quite figure out how to get the fn layers to work though.

blighty · « **Reply #233 on:** Wed, 06 May 2015, 13:37:09 »

Built it up on Monday, plate-mounted ANSI 125 + stepped caps lock with Gateron Blacks.

Went with the full size right shift to have a different layout than the LSv2 (using a G80-3000 layout vs using a g80-1800).

Thanks again Ivan!

note: one bummer I noticed when I unboxed the kit was some of the anodizing was already rubbed off a small section of the front. Did anyone else have that issue?

Jixr · « **Reply #234 on:** Wed, 06 May 2015, 13:45:46 »

Yeah, the alum frame is pretty poor, its just cast alum. and the edges are not very sharp, lots of tiny little nicks.

But for the price we paid its about what I was expecting

Beautiful, mane! Can't wait to build mine too.

Here's mine: https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=33130.msg1738516#msg1738516

Mine also had some imperfections on the aluminum top but I can't really complain at the price

blighty · « **Reply #236 on:** Wed, 06 May 2015, 14:03:17 »

Ha, I guess I got off lucky with a couple of imperfections in the anodizing then. It wasn't a pitchfork event or anything, just curious on other's kit conditions. Looking forward to seeing different builds.

Jixr · « **Reply #237 on:** Wed, 06 May 2015, 14:36:40 »

Here is mine with a miami set on it. I'm currently working on getting a plate for it, and waiting on ivans r4 GB to be done for the caps. ( Cherry Irish ) Tossed some gateron blacks on it, and I may change up the layout a little whenever my keycaps arrive. ( and add some Led's and other goodies )

The pcb is very thin and flexes a lot in the corners, so I got some clear rubber furniture bumpers and stuck them to my case to help beefen it up a little bit. I'd recommend the same if you have issues as well.

if anyone needs help programing lemme know, i think it got it mostly figured out.

Jixr · « **Reply #239 on:** Wed, 06 May 2015, 14:57:07 »

i've already figured if the anodizing really starts to bug me i'm just going to sand it mirror smooth, and paint and polish it up.

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #240 on:** Thu, 07 May 2015, 09:23:40 »

Yes almost all the 5mm had more apparent finish imperfections, especially the silver ones. I think the 8mm tops fared a little better overall.

finally going to build mine this weekend with gateron blacks and likely white LEDs, dont feel like doing sip sockets or anything special, i have been out of town most of the last month for work, how is this programmed? tmk?

Glod · « **Reply #243 on:** Thu, 14 May 2015, 20:16:33 »

AH CRAP

just realized the plate has a cut defect, they cut the bottom modifiers on the right side way too small, its like half the thickness it should be to fit a switch inside, mine actually stands out in the picture you shared with everyones board before you mailed it. can you get a replacement, is that even possible?

i may just end up building this without a plate, with blacks, feel real cherry stock like..... grrrrr

Mine is fine... not sure what happend here... I guess you got "lucky"

Jixr · « **Reply #248 on:** Fri, 15 May 2015, 08:43:10 »

I built mine without a plate, and its fine without. but yeah, this thing is no lightsaver thats for sure, but for the price, i'm okay with it.

Glod · « **Reply #249 on:** Fri, 15 May 2015, 11:36:28 »

Chinese quality indeed

eh, i think i can live without a plate, black switches feel fine without a plate, that classic G80 feel. this just forces my hand on what switches to use.

I have this feeling it would be difficult to get a new plate anytime soon so essentially i have a 25$ spring/lube station.

how do I program this thing?
