[GB] the Moon - Custom Keyboard - CANCELLED, we will come back

[Kavik]

This may be a dumb question, but will the brass plate upgrade be the same color as in the color combo we pick or will it be brass color, effectively replacing the middle color? Doesn't bother me either way, but just curious.

[Dystopia]

Seeing how I can't afford both this and Yuri, I'm probably gonna have to skip out on the Yuri... Unless... There's a chance of another run for this in the not so far future? (Long shot, I know, but I gotta ask)

It's Probably just plain ol' Brass

Its going to be brass. Probably polished

[rioc]

Am I the only one who dislikes the bump on feet covering the screws at the bottom of the case?

I really don't think it's a good idea since you'd have to buy new bump on feet after changing the plate in the keyboard. (That's if you decide to buy a second plate/PCB to switch things around).

Not to mention, I think it would cause a bit of wobble as well. But we'll see I suppose. Looking forward to this beauty.

I'm hoping they're not stick on bumpons, but  rather with a knob you can push up into the screw holes...

what is the weight of the board with brass options......

really waiting for this answer too... I hoping it can beat the skog which is 4kg

There's no plan for R2 yet. But I'll take the total number of Moon vs. total number of Yuri on market in to consideration. But ofc go for the one you like more!

Hey, our plan is not to match color on brass parts,brass is pretty enough itself 

[zzyjayfree]

I see you can order an extra PCB but I don't see an option to buy an extra switch plate. Am I misreading the order form?

Hi, under plate options you can choose to get: alu plate (default), extra alu plate, brass plate, extra brass plate

We might be providing regular rubber feet if you find the inserted rubber feet is not something you like.

cool, submitted Any chance before the gb ends they will come more clean shots of the colors?

And info on PCB + software, please don't overlook this I think it's very important to know since we barely hear anything on the PCB side of things.

Yes not much out? , Would the kb design allow third party pcb`s?
For colors it would just be nice with some palette so we can match better

ex. ( tried to match from some photos but the light is very warm and looks filtered ) this is from a spot measurements tool.

Titanium grey, Violet Purple, Starry Night Grey ( Mockup!)
(Attachment Link) (Attachment Link) (Attachment Link)

Due to the unique design it's hard to allow 3rd party pcbs. However it can be achieved only you will have to use fixed cable.

[henz]

i told myself i wouldnt join more buys before i receive the the GBS im currently in. But this is looking nice !

[gaiden]

@zzyjayfree, hi do you have pictures of the PCB and download link on the keymapping software? I asked about it but it has yet to be answered.. thanks​. Really good price on the PCB BTW got me really curious.

We are still working on PCB at this moment. We'll update once we finish it.

Well if I had to pick I would definitely be choosing this. Also, are there any estimates for shipping costs and would you be able to mark the package as a gift or declare it at a lower price? My country has tax on anything above US$290 and I'd like to avoid that if possible.

I think he wants it heavier. Also, roughly how much will shipping to Singapore be? And also is it possible to declare a value lower than 250usd so I don't have to pay tax

[cirrus82]

I'd be in for sure if full titanium or full black were options. That full silver prototype looks epic. I'd hate to put in an order and cancel/not pay if the color option isn't viable. If you can confirm you can do a full color option, I'll order.

We are in fact discussing about some solid colours. Pretty sure titanium would be one of them if we do.

+1 for this, I do not want to place my order and cancel it later if the colors I want can't happen.

Here's my wishlist : All Silver, All Titanium gray

Just only this two, If you can confirm that all of them or one of them can happen I will place my order immediately.

you can still enter an order with your preferences. it will give the gb runner(s) an idea of the interest in the solid cases. and if the solid cases don't come about, don't pay the invoice that'll be issued at the end of the order period. there really isn't much at risk for you at this stage.

[Delirious]

Can we at least have more info on the pcb please? Despite how nice the case would be PCB still dictates the functionality of the board. Dropping more than $500 cash on an unknown pcb doesnt sound good at all for me. If anything none of us would want to see the ****show of Matrix board happens again with this groupbuy.

[Photoelectric]

What kind of color/finish is "light gray" from the first color combo?  Is it just plain glossy silver, or is it some kind of a matte finish light gray, perhaps not regular anodizing? 

Could you request some photos of sample color chips to show color and finish for each?

There are pics of the light gray in the albums from the prototype in the IC:

but I also would like to know the answer to your question, since that's the colour I'm opting for as top-case

From what ive been told:

Its their own custom pcb. Supports kle, runs tmk/qmk. Supports full iso. Stepped caps, Wkl, wk. IO interface.

Dont think other pcbs will fit.

[Kavik]

I'm torn between that carbon orange and requesting all silver..


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Same. I was somewhat hoping to get a combo of gold, silver, and black to resemble the Apollo Lunar Module, but it would probably be less trouble to just get the carbon one and stick SA Carbon on it.

exactly what I'm going for, except all brass options instead of gold... then stick yuri on it

Rioc,

What color combo for top plate and bottom plate are you envisioning? I think silver top, ink black bottom, and brass stripe, plate, and weight would look great and go with the most keysets. I really wouldn't want to substitute silver for gray though. On the other hand, my M65-A will be Space Gray, so it would be more of the same, and I keep fantasizing about that carbon theme.... it's just not very lunar.

[dubious]

Has the PCB been produced yet? Luckily it sounds like it runs TMK/QMK.. But the housing prototype seems like it was rushed into production without a USB hole... How would you verify everything fits?

Yeah but I believe he at one point wrote the PCB was being designed. I'd like to hear word on this as well.

[bmilcs]

Yah I'm also curious about the PCB. Will it be compatible with EasyAVR?

Can you swap colors or are we stuck with the predetermined layouts?

[dblack]

Hmm yea so do I.

I would appreciate receiving an update now.

[zzyjayfree]

Hi guys, sorry got really busy at work this week. Anyways I do have some updates in terms of color options. EVE said he strongly encourage you guys to fill out the form anyways and leave your color preference. Use your imagination and feel free to pick from the 15 colors provided, you might find your exact preference in the invoice. (Make it all Titanium Grey?  )If for any reason EVE can't satisfy your preference, you can just ignore the invoice, we will not have any hard feelings.  (I can't be more obvious, can I?)
Also due to communication issue the Light Brown in option 2 is now correctly updated to Champagne Gold. And the Black Oak in option 3 should be dark grey.  I believe this should be good news to folks going after gold now.

I'm still trying to get more information about PCB.

Sorry if this GB is a little chaotic, this is our first time running a GB.

PS: To update your order simply go to order form and make changes, it will override.

15 color comination... if that's true, we will have around 3.375 color combination to choose from.
this is good for customer's size, but are you sure that EVE (and you) can handle this? (please say yes!)

other than that.. I really would like too see the anodizing/color sample (without film), please
really opting between Pumpkin Orange and Champagne gold for my plate color.
also, would like to see the difference between Night grey and Dark grey as well.

Color is still the same but it should be named as champagne gold instead of light brown, more accurate
