If you check my Youtube channel, there are some video was taken for previous GB: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcQDGjPP7pJOXPEe3RRCwjw
can we get a sound test?
Please consider Daily Clack as a vendor for OCE/Australia+1 to this comment <3
Why did you remove the badge compatibility? Universal badges supported among the majority of your keyboards (8xv2.0add, 6xv2.0 falcon, 6xv2.0 vita, ME) was very nice idea.
Any chance that you will be offering an alu plate without any of the per key flex cuts?
(Attachment Link)
1.2 homage pls
I saw that you added vendors, but unfortunately no EU vendors. Is this something that is still being worked on? Or is the list final?
So everything about this board is random? We dont get to choose case color, alu weight color or the top case type?
22th Feb update:
3.0 offers two styles of the top case for the full kit--------'HEART' or 'EYE'!
We will also offer extra case available to purchase, and there are 3 options available.
1. Case (black part)
You can choose the following color for the case:
Ano: Black/ Silver/ Light grey/ Red/ Light pink/ Light blue/ Lilac/ Blue black
Coating: Black/ China red/Light green/ Tiffany/ Grey blue/ Starry night/ McFlurry/ Grey/ Deep grey/ Pink/ Yellow/ Linen/ Creamy white/ White flash/ Nebula
Really interested in this. But I feel like the weight text is a bit too convoluted and text heavy, that may put me off an order.
The "powered by" and "since 2015" I feel really detract from the design. Nothing wrong with branding but just the board name and the company name would suffice.
Also I really hope that the weight doesn't have to be color coded with the board. I.e. if the case is blue I don't necessarily want a blue weight, at least the option for color coded or a non colored weight as a secondary option would be nice.
Wish your team all the best

2 questions:
- are we getting an EU vendor? prototypist is UK not EU.
- weight color: what do you mean with "Standard: Random color matching for the weight decided by Matrix Lab"? is it tied to the case color or it's going to different per each single kit?
Regarding the extra top ano random color
ano: Black/ Silver/ Light grey/ Red/ Light pink/ Light blue/ Lilac/ Blue black
Wine red/ Deep grey/ Dark green/ Coffee/ Cyan/ Orange red/ Random
Does random mean for ano mean the random color is chosen from what is listed already? Or is it a random color from the list and also a color that is not on the list like "mint green"?
Just want to get clarification.
The same case color may have multiple weight colors. Its the same way as what we did for 2.0 Additional. if we also provide color options for the weight, it will add too many SKUs which is unacceptable to us.
Regarding the extra top ano random color
ano: Black/ Silver/ Light grey/ Red/ Light pink/ Light blue/ Lilac/ Blue black
Wine red/ Deep grey/ Dark green/ Coffee/ Cyan/ Orange red/ Random
Does random mean for ano mean the random color is chosen from what is listed already? Or is it a random color from the list and also a color that is not on the list like "mint green"?
Just want to get clarification.
The random color means the color may be in the list, and it may not be in the list too. Of course it could also be mint green.
Please consider one of the few EU vendors we got here
Also a at least target price would be appreciated since we are very close to the GB date
would be great to have a bigger screen lol, i cant see my waifus on that small screen, however, this is an instabuy
So the EYE and HEART colors, we won't be able to choose it? is that correct? Is it randomly selected by Matrix Lab??
What is this like aftermarket prices lol
What is this like aftermarket prices lol
This is how much high end TKLs cost. I'm not sure where you get your "aftermarket prices" from.

Finall EU price is over 600€ + shipping and maybe even additional import taxes and all that for a unlimited GB. And im talking about the base price here. This is not a high end board of such value and im normally a person that understands such prices with custom boards. Cheaper for me to get a aftermarket 2.0, which isnt that different
What are the typing angle and front height?
Yes, matrix is kinda at fault for not having an EU vendor, but the majority of people aren't in the EU trying to buy a 3.0 from prototypist. The "intended price" (where you buy from your respective regional vendor) of ~$600 may be a tad pricey for some people, but is nevertheless in line with other high end TKLs, such as the cloudline TKL, the phoenix TKL, the hiney TKL one, the iron180, the Geon F2-84, and more.

you're mixing limited and unlimited boards, not the greatest comparison. unlimited retail cost is generally lower than limited.
Here's a crazy thought, if you think the board is too expensive... don't buy it. Total "Woah!" moment I knowPeople can't criticize things? If you dislike a forum comment... don't read it.
Just to confirm, we only need to purchase the screen daughterboard pack if we order an extra eye top, correct? Meaning, the base kit eye top already includes all the necessary components, correct?

I was wondering the same. If I purchase the Full keyboard kit with the Eye Screen top will it come with the full components or I'll have to purchase the Screen daughter board pack?
No “blank” top case but including as an optional extra purchase? Money grab + wasteful.
How is it a moneygrab if its literally optional lmao
How is it a moneygrab if its literally optional lmao
Well you are locked into buying a top case you might not really want if you only wanted the blank one. Not saying its a moneygrab as its likely just to reduce complexity when fulfilling orders, but it is potentially wasteful if you have no interest in the stock top case.
Never explained why there's no EU vendor. Prototypist is not an option because VAT is one thing and import fees from UK is a whole other story. Plus DHL fees as an additional bonus. Keep it for yourself then, other vendors are respecting their EU customers more.
Btw unless several typing tests are available, no one schould consider buying it : too much TKLs can be found on the market for a lesser price and decently sounding. It should stand out, to justify the price. Just beacuse it's "Matrix" proves nothing itself. Hope I'm wrong.

No one should consider buying this since there's no sound test ? Lol what a blanket statement. How about you let people make that decision for themselves. I am personally buying it because of the design, and known matrix quality.
I understand you're salty about the EU situation, but at the end of the day they're your country/organization laws, and there's no way to accommodate everyone sometimes.

For the recent Safa 588 release US customers were only offered an EU vendor (mykeyboard.eu) and you didn't see anyone crapping their pants over it like this. If it's a big enough deal then don't buy the board. People are acting like matrixlab has a gun to their head and is forcing them to purchase a board along with 20 extras. Grow up, it's a luxury keyboard and the definition of a nonessential purchase.

Buying in 2022 without sound test ? This is a “blanket statement” indeed, to say less. And “make your own opinion” based precisely on what ? Country / organization laws ? What are you talking about ? Matrix just didn’t get along with EU vendors or didn’t want to. At least give un an explanation why. So yeah I’m reasonably salty about it. You would be too.
Finally, no conspiracy, but I find it’s strange that the buying window is so short and no sound test at all. Anyway, once again, hope it’s a great keyboard, best of luck.

People need to chill out, for real.
Up until the ME, matrix hadn't really pursued international buys at all. We finally get a numbered series board as an international buy and people really out here acting like they've been slighted. Look, I get it, paying import taxes would suck for sure, but you really need to step back and appreciate that matrix labs is doing an international buy at all. Your other option, if you'd rather not participate in the GB but still want one, is to wait for aftermarket on mm and xianyu. There's no guarantee it'll be any more affordable, though.
To the "waste of material" remark regarding extra tops: I think this is a win for everyone involved. Sure, you may end up having a 3.0 top that's not being used (just like any extra PCBs you have lying around for other boards), but it allows for a cheaper way to significantly change the look of your board pretty easily. It's being marketed as an accessory, not half a keyboard.

People like the ones complaining here all had their minds made up, there's no point in talking to them. They don't understand that not every single GB is going to secure a vendor for every single region and would rather complain than acknowledge the fact that the people who are running the GB also have lives and can't be asked to add a vendor for everywhere. Well, the Safa people sure didn't.

How many times do we have to have this god**** conversation on this platform? This is an IC, and they posted it to gather feedback. This is the feedback. Yeah, no ****, WE KNOW we aren't forced to buy anything. But we want to be customers and support the vendors, and thus the hobby. Critiquing sellers' methods has made group buys what they are today: fun to be a part of the design process (to some extent), (usually) full of a variety of purchase options, and reasonably safe and convenient to join. You would understand these things if you had been around here for more than *checks profile* six days.

Apparently not only you don't understand but can't properly read too. EU is the only absent big region and no explanation why has been given by Matrix lab. Have you ever paid the european import taxes ? I'm pretty sick and tired too of people who are not concerned by the issue but find it useful to diminish and deny the whole existence of it. Like "hey, you can't buy it, your problem, just shut up". I mean what kind of mentality is that ? Constructive criticism is what makes hobby evolve and get better, so maybe it's time to grow up.
Just to give you an example with another product:Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/zJJzRuS.png)
I think Matrix wanted to sell to all EU through Prototypist because they didn't know UK was not part of EU anymore (according to discord discussions).
Most probably next time we'll have an EU vendor, since Matrix is probably aware of EU demanding.

If we're namecalling and nitpicking then it's "can't properly read either." If we're talking import taxes you know that everyone pays them right? OR am I missing something and the only people who pay them are from the EU?
Plus, It's not as you put it "hey, you can't buy it, your problem, just shut up" since you CAN buy it. You are crying about the lack of a VENDOR for a region and how the import tax might be more than other regions. I was pointing out how other boards also miss out on large regions like NA and EU so many boards run into the same issue.
I don't even know why I bother since all you ever do according to your post history is crying about how one set doesn't have French localized keys or is not French friendly while adapting a pompous ass tone while doing it:
On the GMK Fleuriste IC:
"Would've been interested with a french layout kit. No kit, no interest."
On this specific IC form:
"Never explained why there's no EU vendor. Prototypist is not an option because VAT is one thing and import fees from UK is a whole other story. Plus DHL fees as an additional bonus. Keep it for yourself then, other vendors are respecting their EU customers more."
You should know that someone who is running a GB doesn't have the time or energy to make sure they line up a vendor for every region right? Sometimes they miss out on a SEA vendor or a US-specific vendor and just go with a global one, which people understand since these IC's may take months if not years to get to the GB stage so they are somewhat pressured to get the GB going for people that support them: The people waiting wants their boards/caps/whatever else, and the artist wants to deliver as soon as possible due to their feelings of obligation towards these people.
You could just have just said "It is a shame that there's no EU-specific vendor on this project, I think I'll sit this one out because I don't want to be fleeced by import taxes" but went full aggro. How is that "constructive criticism"?
Don't like it don't buy it. If you want to offer constructive criticism get rid of your snide tone. Plus if you don't buy it I'll get mine sooner.

And what constructive criticism did you offer except for pointing my non-relative to the topic posts and "stop crying" sentences ? Not a single one. First, for the taxes : they are objectively much higher if delivered from UK (Brexit, heard of it?). Of course, I can buy it elsewhere but this is precisely the poitn you miss : I want to buy it from EU vendor and pay a reasonable price. Secondly, for the vendors : they are plenty in EU and, once again, no reason why has been given. I have an impression you're working for them so blindly you defend their injustifiable position towards EU customers :D And for the record my "snide tone" as you said is the reaction for your impertinent comments, nothing more.
Finally, let me give you one solid example of how a professional vendor should react in such situation. I wanted to buy a HIBI & LNY knob for my Sat75 but no delivery option was available to France. So I asked HIBI via mail why and how can I get it. They contacted Mykeyboard.eu and two days later the knob was available for the pre-order. Two days later.

None, since I didn't have any. My original post was not directed at you but okay.
"for the taxes : they are objectively much higher if delivered from UK"
Of course, since UK and EU are in different regions, and? Everyone has to deal with taxes. I have to pay a bunch in import taxes every time I buy stuff from other regions and I don't complain about every little thing lmao. Sure taxes are high but that doesn't allow you to come and yell at me for literally nothing. Sorry, you have to deal with taxes man, you can deal with aftermarket prices instead I guess.
"I want to buy it from EU vendor and pay a reasonable price"
Okay, great! Next time when you want to point this out maybe don't quote someone else and call them illiterate.
"for the vendors: they are plenty in EU and, once again, no reason why has been given"
Did you DM them? Do they have to come out in a Japanese-style press conference and bow there heads to say sorry, we couldn't get to a EU vendor in time for GB? Why can't you give them the benefit of the doubt?
" I have an impression you're working for them so blindly you defend their injustifiable position towards EU customers"
I don't work for them. I'm just a reasonable guy. Their position is by no means unjustifiable just because you are in a unfortunate position. If I was in your shoes I'd just say oh well and go, or just be reasonable, like I wrote above:
"It is a shame that there's no EU-specific vendor on this project, I think I'll sit this one out because I don't want to be fleeced by import taxes"
"one solid example of how a professional vendor should react in such situation. "
Yep, they did great. Use that example for every new board by independent board maker too, see if everyone else agrees with you.
MatrixLab is from China, and from what I gather they've only done a few GB's. You are comparing them to CannonKeys, which is a US vendor that makes their own keycaps, who would have connection to vendors everywhere.
"Yeah, let's just hope your getting your keyboard sooner"
Thanks, hopefully none of your GB's gets delayed. They say they'll be shipping the 8XV sometime around Q4 so yeah, pretty stoked.
"don't bother yourself further"
sorry
So much words and STILL not a single solid argument :D Just unverifiable assumptions about vendors origin, lesson giving on my communication manner, mixing up things that have no relation (for example,buying from GB and a random person in other region is not the same thing obviously, since GB vendor CAN choose the reseller) and the main point that you still didn’t get : make the sale better the next time for the EU folks. The pinacle of your hypocrisy is that you affirm you know about taxes we have to pay if we buy from Prototypist but still think EU folks have no right to complain about that. Plenty of comments here attest of the deception coming from absence of EU vendor, it’s okay, just try to be at our place, it’s not that hard.
You’re seeking so hard to be right, I’m starting to feel sorry for you. Dissecting my posts must provide some strange pleasure to you (please go on be my guest) :D Yet, unfortunately you’re wrong, all these efforts for nothing. See Matrix lab post, who I thank for finally stand out and give a response. Next time, we’ll have more chances to get an EU vendor. You see, maybe reasonable complaining works, reasonable guy.

With some time passed now, it's for sure that 3.0 is not better or even on the same level as 2.0/add.

disagree to agree. It's for sure that my grapes are sweeter than yours.
With some time passed now, it's for sure that 3.0 is not better or even on the same level as 2.0/add. And it's even worse if they confirm that Magic3 "rabbit" edition design... :D
But yeah at least Oblotzky was there for Corsa

What's wrong with it compared to 2.0?
What is wrong with the rabbit edition? Kinda over the top in term of design in a good way to me. Very steep price based on discord chatter though.

Nothing is really wrong but I prefer USB port location on 2.0, also weight looks cheap compared it. Most importantly, soundwise 2.0 got my preference. Still it's better than most of boards, so Matrix is still on top. Yet, matter of personal preference, this CNY rabbit edition kinda surprised me in a negative way
