Nice, man! Congrats!

Binge, you are getting sneaky with these...

So with the goal of making a sweet keyboard, I'm hoping I'll be able to acquire a frame, a set of switches and keycaps, and a popular controller... Will there be opportunity to purchase such things?

I would assume no unless a vendor plans on attending with stock.

Someone might have a built board for sale there but I couldn't comment on that.

I'm happy to bring boards - but not sure what people would like to try. Any requests out of the below?

TKL
CM QFR w/ 78g Zealios
CM Masterkeys Pro S w/ 65g Zealios
Mech-27 w/ MOD-L
Novatouch w/ Norbauer Case
RF87U 55g or 45g/55g (HHKB dome swap)

65% or smaller
M65-A (if it comes in time..)
ALU68 w/ Greetech Brown

Smaller smaller
Mechmini 40% w/ vintage Blacks
RAMA M10-A
RAMA M4-A

I don't think I would bring any items to vend unless there was something specific people wanted.

Are we expecting a more detailed schedule in the coming weeks?

[Dernubenfrieken]

Would love to see the rama boards!

I'm personally bringing my QFR with vintage blacks, and the cutdown IBM "Pingmaster"

Does anyone plan to buy or sell any artisans or keyboards while at Keycon in philly?

I plan to sell a few things personally

My plan was to hopefully get my hands on another keyboard without dealing with shipping and all, or even a nice kit.

[fendent]

If anybody plans to do any trading or selling that is completely on you to organize that. Nobody at keycon is going to vet or provide any sort of oversight to that. Also be respectful and dont go around making offers for people's artisans if they have their collections on display. I think anybody who is interested in that will probably make it known (via placard or whatnot).

[att1cus]

I'll probably have the things i have been offering for trade/sale there.  Fendent is going to make a post about the policy for buying/selling/trading

Your best bet might be to go to Microcenter (5 min. from the convention). They have some Ducky and Das Keyboards in stock. Everything else they stock is either gamer centered or not mechanical. Some people may come wanting to trade/sell, but as others have said, there won't be any vendors.

[mike52787]

If I am able to go, I will bring a beamspring, some cool alps boards, and maybe some cherry boards.

[digisax]

Assuming the case for it comes in time (it's still stuck in Customs) I'll be bringing my Alps VA68 with Alpine Winter.

I'd take more if I didn't have to bring them on a plane to get there.

[KACHAKEYS]

I think Ill bring for display

My two POK3RS clear and brown.
DSA OTAKU-likely on on the brown
SA JUKEBOX-likely on the clear
MX GREEN Quickfire TK.
DSA Granite Likely on the TK
I want to also give away an older ALPS glidepoint for windows with white ALPS switches.

[digisax]

Looks like customs finally gave the case to UPS, so I'll be bringing the VA68m with me.

Update: I'll also have my 55g HHKB Pro2 that may or may not have JTK sliders (I'll decide after I try them), and if the case screws come a 72g Kailh Silver MechMini.

[XMIT]

Not making it for this. Sorry guys.

Recent buy I'll be bringing as well.

Best keyboard ever!  :))

I also have one of those, I love the 2u esc. I'll trade you mine for the MX5000 so you can corner the market on them.

Bummer! We'll miss you!

Lol, I have 2 of these already, but I sold one to a friend last night.

I'm pretty sure mine was a gift from CPT, he didn't have a use for white Alps and I thought the layout was cool.

How'd you get yours working?

In the past it's gone until 2 or 3 but people usually hangout after.

Boy did I just barely catch the train, didn't even realize KeyCon was being held somewhat close to me this year. I think I'll be able to make it work out though. Request the fri. the 23rd off from work & hit the road that morning. Philly is about a 5hr. drive from Pgh. so that should give me enough time to get into town, find a cheap room, & be ready to go for Sat morning. Starting to get a little psyched up for this but gotta make sure I can get the 23rd off for it all to work.

Just keep in mind its at villanova , not exactly Center City Philadelphia.

Good point, I may want to look into reserving a room somewhere beforehand. Thanks for the heads up!

The Radnor Hotel in Wayne, PA is fairly close, and quite nice.

[cynviloq]

I think once a schedule outline is released, we could start a Google sheet in case people want to organize carpooling etc from various locations in and around Philly.

I'll likely be staying with a friend in Center City so will be driving up for everything that'll be on the nova campus.

Is it easier for people to sign up for an email list somewhere or will someone just post in this thread?


Also if anyone needs a ride - happy to pick people up anywhere on the way between NYC and Philly. Feel free to PM me.

Rip, I have classes until 4

Okay, just to make sure I've got all of this correct, since the info is kind of scattered:

Location is Bartley Hall at Villanova University.

The event happens on Saturday, June 24th, from sometime in the morning to around mid-afternoon, plus probably socializing and going out afterwards.

So people who are traveling can: travel on Friday, keycon on Saturday, travel back on Sunday. Am I missing anything?

Perfect. I'll likely leave Monday as well, but it's good to know your options. Thanks!

Need a ride from NYC. Can pay for gas money/lunch. Can meet you at Newark/wherever.

I'm probably bringing just the one Filco. I sold the LZ and don't really care enough to bring any other boards (save the Realforce, but it's too special).

But let me know if you can give me a ride.

[Latin00032]

Should bring one board? I can bring two but I dont think id bring more than that.

I have my main for now which is my fc660c with rf alphas swapped in, hyperspheres, 55g domes, and the new hasu controller.

My second is my keycool 65percent, mx blues, hypefuse keycaps, and a purple spacebar.

People are gonna bring all sorts of cool ****

I expect to bring a couple prototype F62 and F77 keyboards, some with the classic cases and some with the Ultra Compact cases - a variety of case colors too.

Maybe I will giveaway some of the non-functioning prototype Model F barrels. 

The down side is that the production quality springs, keys, and inner assembly parts will not be ready in time so these will not be at the quality levels of the production keyboards.
