[IC] Duck Viper/Eagle V3

[elton5354]

Hello!

Viper and Eagle with a design change!



You can see the rest of the gallery here: https://imgur.com/gallery/bgg3VuL

Let me know if you guys are ready for another round of Viper and Eagle. 

[Fredington]

Will the angle still be 10 degrees? Either way, I'm interested.

[N0GLUT0N]

Yes yes

Goddamnit I hope not... but it looks like it from the photos linked in the original post

[fabijolo]

"let me know if you guys are ready for this" ... I was born ready!

[fabijolo]

Is there any info available in what usb port this is going to have ?

[skrunk]

Agreed, if this comes with the ALPS compatible PCB & plate like the Sidewinder & Raven did count me in as well! I've been sitting on a SGI Granite board I bought for the caps for too long now. Been really tempted to pick up a Sidewinder or Raven soon just for an ALPS SKCM/L build, but will wait to see if these guys will have the same support first now.

[skrunk]

Darn, was really hoping for something lower. My CLS had 10 degrees, and even that was already pretty uncomfortable...

What are we looking at in terms of timing for the GB to open?

[lush_bunny]

Are the colors decided? I'm hoping for a Red and/or E-white, depending on the GB timing and price ofc.

Any chance to have a hotswap pcb?

[amirhosein]

Oh yes! Count me in Elton.

[rychaithescienceguy]

Does anyone know when the GB will happen?

[hiisdesign]

yes im ready

[slayer12]

Could you make alps compatible pcb/ plate for the Viper/Eagle?

[Puddsy]

Does anyone know when the GB will happen?

it'll get posted in here, but generally duck ICs come up on GH about 6-8 weeks before the buy starts

but with the facilities the way they are right now, i wouldn't be surprised to hear about a delay

[shuijiao]

Nice i would be in this for sure!

[Kinesiologist]

What type of mounting system for the plate and case? (top mount?) And estimated pricing?

[Visionaire]

Top mount

Any chance to get this in a sweet Polycarb version?

[higgga]

Doubt it, no indication for polycarb afaik and I doubt that changes will be made since the Korean gb started a while ago.

IIRC, I don’t think Duck has ever done a PC case.  I’ve seen the PC plates though.

duck's fab only does metals from what i understand

There’s a Teaha build of a V2 Octagon with a PC bottom though that I just saw, so there might be a 3rd party option somewhere.

There's some backstory that people like Pudsy know / can fill in - I'm too new to know the details. But the gist of it is that Duck used to offer Acrylic bottoms (different angle) and also used to offer more color options from anodizing (I am typing this from a red octagon v2 I bought on r/mechmarket). However, a production run for one of the GBs (maybe orion v2? idk) had issues: some boards had streaks in the anodizing or other production inconsistencies/defects.
After that, Duck switched fabricators? In any case - he simplified his range of offerings. I've probably grossly misrepresented the facts so I'm hoping one of the elders can chime in with the real story:)

Oh that's cool - I had no idea.  I've been on the hunt for an Octagon / Eagle for the longest time, but every time one comes up on r/mm or GB, I literally just got into another GB - in this case, the latest offerings from kin.  One of these days though....   )

[Puddsy]

duck has done acrylic bottoms but not PC, and has stopped due to high failure rate and low order rate

but yeah that's basically it

we could see it again, but duck doesn't use the same fab most other people are using now and as far as i know isn't really looking to switch

[rychaithescienceguy]

So the GB link will be posted in this topic right?

I'm in. When will GB open?

[Jokuhemmo]

Count me in

[hiisdesign]

i am in on this too.....

[elton5354]

Its happening. Is this going to be limited to 100 units as well?

100 units only

Colors?

Black and silver

Grey and Red will have conditions same as my previous buy on the Octagon V3.  I cannot guarantee the consistency of these 2 colours. If you agree to that condition, then yes, you can choose to pick that colour.

yes.

will this be a mini usb pcb?

No Alps compatible PCB unfortunately.

I'm going to get this group buy started this week. I'm making the GB thread right now and probably open it on Friday.

Are there more info on the PCB, and the mounting of the acrylic diffusers?

for the PCB:
- is it solder pcb? (non-hotswap)
- connector type (USB-C, mini, micro)
- firmware? (QMK, VIA)

Thanks

Not this time at least.  Duck is someone that is willing to mess around with new layouts so it could happen in the future.

while the info isn't on this page, it is readily available on korean forums/chatrooms

Will the gray andoization be the same throughout the one board, or will it have random speckles and places where the color is different from the rest of the keyboard?
