I'm new to the custom korean keyboard scene. Would full assembly (e.g. switch/led soldering) services be offered as part of this possible GB?

yuiop, is this a87 or b87 compatible?
or in other words, is the usb header on the right (between F12 and PrtScn) or on the left (between Esc and F1)?

This is A87 compatible housing.


That's right.

I don't think assembly service will be offered as part of GB. Assembly will LIKELY be offered.

I don't know the exact angle but I think these will be flatter than the Orion/Lightsaver which is 11 degree slanted.  I'll ask.

This keyboard is 7.5 degrees tilted.
In comparison, KMAC2 is 7 degrees.  Orion/Lightsaver/Eagle/Viper are 11 degrees.

If you prefer to use it at a higher angle, you can just use taller bumpons in the back.

I believe the bottom layer is CNC'd acrylic. Just going by what he says in the OP. Guessing what we see in the renderings is a separate metal piece which is added for weight in the center of the acrylic bottom.

Cnc'ed polycarbonate. Like the middle layer of gon boards. This probably why the price is cheaper than full ALU boards. Makes for night lighting effects too.

Acrylic =/= polycarbonate. Just FYI. Polycarbonate is much more easily machined and is denser in my opinion. Polycarbonate is also called by a tradename Lexan. A use of Lexan is bulletproof windows.

Resistors and Diodes are all pre-soldered. 
There will be spots for 22 surface mounted RGB LEDs.  They will likely come pre-soldered as well.

Interest intensifies.  I wonder when we'll get some actual photos.  Cyan or pink top sounds so good if those colors will be available.

The more I look at the Photos and the more a look at other customs....the *cough* Harder *cough* I get.

After shipping and other fees; under $300 would be a steal.

Have a full board, 60% and am now looking at a TKL. Filcos are about $160, (after tax) in Canada, so for a bit more I could get A LOT more.

No.  None of these korean custom cases will fit NerD v2. not enough space for the battery, wireless module etc.

Prototype sample will be available in a few weeks.  GB will probably start a few weeks after that.  They won't accept orders until everything is ready to be produced.

IC thread for TX87 on a Chinese forum says 84 layout could be an option if there is enough interest, for anyone that is wondering about the same. I'm super interested in 84 layout personally, but will jump in anyway for 86/87 layout.
