I just want to say thanks to whomever gave up their spot in this GB, thus allowing me in. Now I have a reason to get rid of my random g80-18xxs that are sitting around collecting dust or are in pieces. I don't think I'll need another 1800 layout after this V2.

Someone got lucky, I just want this board now.

If only they have plate for this layout

That layout works with plate just not 1.25 1.25 1.25 6.25!1.5 1.5 1 1

It's so pretty, stop giving me boners for keyboards at work.

I think I'll start invoicing in the next week or 2. Probably the ones with assembly first.

Woohoo! I'm super excited. Should have my monies to pay for it too.

At least Duck is no DrugER...

I've never spoke with Duck, but with TrueCustom. He's a very nice guy.

As we can see with his GB history, he is reliable and has good a reputation. I have no doubt

Now I don't know about drugER history on GH, but if he had done successful business before that happened, that's just really bad karma.

Looks really good. Maybe sometime in the future we can get extra PCBs.

Any ideas for LED combos for a red case? I'm set on the red case but I'm not sure what would look good with it. I'm was thinking of white for the alphas, but I'm stumped.

Someone help me out here!

Orange, white, red, warm white. I recently put some orange LEDs on a keyboard with a red plate, and it looked a perfect combination. You could do all orange with a stripe of white. Avoid magenta--it's far too cold toned.

Yeah and does the colour of plate actually have an effect on led vibrance?

Photoelectric · « **Reply #365 on:** Sun, 11 May 2014, 12:40:22 »

It was on a KMAC2, which comes with a red plate

It does make a difference, yes, because the LED color illuminates the plate, and so depending on plate color (silver or some color), the glow will look a bit different. Silver plate basically doesn't alter LED colors.

I was just saying that orange LEDs seem to go well with red anodized aluminum as a color choice.

Cool, good to know!
Too bad it'll be too much of a hassle to get my plates anodized :S

Photoelectric · « **Reply #367 on:** Sun, 11 May 2014, 12:44:22 »

Can't anodize this plate: it's made of steel

You can paint it if you wanted or powdercoat. I think it looks great as is though and matches any keycap set.

Sniping · « **Reply #368 on:** Sun, 11 May 2014, 18:09:57 »

Any pictures of the KMAC? Sounds like an interesting combo.

Photoelectric · « **Reply #369 on:** Sun, 11 May 2014, 18:56:41 »

Just a potato shot, and I don't have it anymore (it was assembled for someone else).

I really liked the orange glow under keycaps (my Lightsaver can be seen behind it)

There might be more drop outs during invoice, so wait it out

Deadline is June 6

I'll make new order form for this...adding it to the current one will just mess it up

Same questions here. Is there a full assemble service for the PCB and Plate (Switches, LEDs. etc)? And is the plate available in many layouts or just one? since Duck produces more PCBs and Plates, is there any change for the aluminum housing? I really want to get one since I missed the V1, couldn't believe that I missed the V2 also.

Thanks!

WinterIsle · « **Reply #387 on:** Wed, 14 May 2014, 09:14:18 »

Hi Elton, the v2 plate in the new google form is the one that supports new 18xx layout right? Sorry that I'm just asking again to make sure

geniekid · « **Reply #388 on:** Wed, 14 May 2014, 09:19:30 »

I'm having a hard time seeing how the PCB and plate are secured. I see 10 stand offs in the case and then corresponding holes in both the PCB and the plate. Is it the PCB or the plate that is ultimately sitting on top of the stand offs?

elton5354 · « **Reply #389 on:** Wed, 14 May 2014, 09:39:48 »

I'm not including assembly option for PCB only orders. The plate is for the new layout (1800). Will have the same shipping date as the rest of this group buy.

The PCB + plate sits on top of the stand offs.

well, but for the assembly we need to solder only switches and leds or we also need to solder smd components and other stuff?
in the latter case i don't have the right equipment and probably the ability to do such a job

I think the PCB will come with smd components presoldered. I ordered 1 extra PCB set in orion group buy, both PCB are smd presoldered.

correct me if iam wrong.
