Hey, sorry if this is not the place to ask about this, but I saw the post on the IC thread about ISO plates not being available for purchase. Is this the case for all vendors (including Europe)?

I’ve never had a plate custom built before. If I wanted to get an ISO plate based on the files that gondo has said will be open sourced, is it easy to do, and is there a particular recommended supplier (in the US)? Can it be done in the same sandblasted brass style as the original?

Just trying to figure everything out with <24 hours until the GB! Any tips appreciated.

Hey! I'm afraid no vendores will offer the ISO option yes. The files will be released once the boards ship.

As far as shops, in the US you can use Ponoko and 3D Labs. These are the ones I know and have used in the past, there might be others

My wallet is $600 lighter today haha. I can't wait to finally build it, and I think you guys should also explore making an R2 in the future.

I was in the queue for like 7 minutes before I got in. I think it might be a slower process? Not sure. Limited quantity never really feels great, no matter how you do it, but I can imagine that it would feel especially bad if you never even got to see the page. Better than crashing in checkout though. I left at around 11:13AM EST, so it should have let someone else in then

Bro that sucked ass. I'd rather be racing against bots than have to get in line in a "queue" at 11:00 on the dot and proceed to wait in line for *15 minutes* while Cannon Keys raffles my spot in line to people who joined the queue at like 11:05. Should have VPN'd into another region's GB maybe.

Just ordered one from ProtyTypist, and I am super happy now. This is officially my first GB :)

A small correction: in the description above, it is mentioned 438 pound is the price of the base kit (with tax), but in reality I got charged 441.7 pound instead. Not a big deal but just FYI. The shipping cost itself is 12.7 pound which I find it acceptable/cheap.

I just ordered from ProtoTypist and have no problem with the checkout, although it is significantly more expensive than the US price. With tax, it is 441.7 pound which more or less equal to $590 :(
At the same time, according to the website, they are limiting the order to Europe area at the moment.

By the way, I order Black/Red color scheme. Was hesitant between e-white/gold vs black/red, but eventually choose black/read

Yeah, the new system is exclusive to Cannon Keys for now. And yeah, I know the vendors are region-locked; that's why I made the jab about using a VPN, haha. Cannon Keys' new system turns every GB into 2 raffles and yet they are still saying it has "aspects of FCFS" or something. Basically, you have to enter a raffle to get the opportunity to pick what you want and add them to your cart. Then you enter a SECOND raffle to see whether you are allowed to go to the checkout and actually pay for your stuff. So, even if you do get lucky enough to get through the first raffle, someone else can get in AFTER you and add YOUR stuff to THEIR cart and then get through the second raffle queue before you do, and then you're left with nothing since the stuff you added to your cart was just sold to somebody else and you don't get the option to buy something that is still available either; you just get booted back to the first raffle queue, if it's still running. I didn't even get that far, however, and I just sat in the first raffle queue until the board was sold through. Rip.

I am in the US so I will have to wait until tomorrow to order from ProtoTypist. Probably will be gone at that time too. I'm glad to see this GB is a success and I'm fine not having one in the near future.

At a personal level, I am really not good at dealing with multiple cycles of being psychologically invested and then not being able to get one at the end. I don't even browse the ICs anymore because what's the point? This of course is not a complaint about any designer or vendor. Just that this hobby definitely takes some toll on my mental health.

On the page it specifically says that the first day sale is reserved for Europe and MESA. Do you have a proxy? I can VPN in but they probably will cancel my order seeing my address.

Ouch! I am sorry to hear that. I am new to this GB-stuff, but that does not sound right to me. That does not sound FCFS but more like "do you feel lucky tonight?" :(

Yeah, that's why I said it in jest and didn't actually try to do that this morning. No, I don't have any friends in the EU to ship it to were I to try that. I was just highlighting how the rest of the world outside the U.S. had a more pure FCFS format for their buys and was expressing my preference for that format. Raffle is fine, but Cannon Keys should just say straight up that it is a raffle, not "taking the best parts of FCFS and raffles." And also I feel that if a board IS going to be raffled, which I don't really have a problem with, then it should be a raffle in all regions, not a raffle in one region and FCFS in all others.

Drop me a support email if you think the amount charged is wrong - I'll take a look (jae@prototypist.net)


Just RE: the VAT for EU folks - as discussed in the IC, I know its a concern. There are still a lot of unknowns based on if there is or isn't a brexit deal. But there will be options to make sure VAT isn't paid twice. If there is a vehicle for me to reclaim the VAT I will refund it of course, and if not I'm investigating other options with my accountant - such as cancelling orders and customers re-buy after Jan under the new rules.

I'll be proactive about this and send out a news letter once everything is known regarding brexit and what the options are - but right now I have to follow the law and collect VAT (and pray for the UK's sake (and the EU's fishing folks) a deal is made)

Hi Jae, thank you for replying to my comment above. While I personally I have no problem with the difference (it is only £3.7), maybe you can take a look into your system? Here Gondo said it would be £438 incl tax but on your website it says £441.7 incl tax? What makes the £3.7 difference? (Again, Im not asking for a reimburse, just for my curiosity)

Thanks!

Agreed, I was stoked about this but couldn't get in. Hoping for a round 2 or extras.

I was able to get into the GB, but realized it would be great to have a wrist rest for this board. Will there be a wrist rest in the near future?

A TKL wrist rest will work perfectly with this board. It won't be visually the nicest, but it will be perfectly comfy (using a more "dented" TKL ergo with a 100% wrist rest).

Wow, it's sold out in ProtoTypist in less than a day! Crazy stuff. Thanks Gondo for making this for us. I feel there are a lot of interests so maybe a Sagittarius second run is something to think about?

Thank you, I'll look into those, but I was kind of hoping for aesthetic reasons, there would be a dedicated wrist rest like I have seen on many other ergo boards. Just in case there aren't any, do you know of any "dented" TKL wrist rests?

I think aesthetically, you'll probably fare better getting two rounded/curved mouse wristrests.

omg yes, this!!

I noticed this on my own the other day while browsing Daily Clack's group buy section (they often have keysets available long after they've sold out in my own USA proxies), and it was so exciting bc I was sure I'd missed out on the chance to get in on this board. Just placed my order last night, after a long debate over whether to order navy or e-white (navy wins haha).

Before I ordered it said '7 units remaining', and as of checking right before posting this there are still 5 awesome Sagittarius keyboards remaining up for grabs-- don't miss out like I almost did guys!!

as an aside, I've been following development of this board since IC phase, when I was a mere geekhack lurker, and I just remember being so moved by the story of how this board came to be, OP-- I just wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart for never giving up on this project, and for all the good you're going to do with it.
People like you give me hope for true friendship and good people in this world-- plus, keyboards backed by science... I will be following  any future projects of yours for sure ; u ;

on a less serious note, I'm curious what colors the rest of you ordered!!

I decided after a long struggle on Navy/Silver, myself.

Now I am now on a quest for a relatively smooth, matte finish silver/aluminum rotary encoder knob (similar to this one. but without an allen key hole), which has proven difficult considering a lot of these 6mm knobs are for electric guitars, so the keyholes are desirable for finite control reasons...

I just want to echo this sentiment. It is one of the most innovative, substantive design I have seen.

I would admit that I like the original case better but the look is really not what this board is about.

You can discuss about it in the CannonKeys discord server. As for the change, please send a ticket to CK support (email I believe)

You will have to contact your vendor for color change. I believe CannonKeys had a big disclaimer saying that they will not do color changes.

Hey Gondo, did you happen to have half plate files? I ask because you designed the PCB with flex cuts, and I think a half plate would go great with them. I'd be interested in getting a half plate made before the board arrives.

To be honest no I didn't think of a half plate -- you can make one if you'd like. Which reminds me I should open-source the plate files.

That would be better answered by Upas, as he designed the case and the geometries are quite complicated. If he wants to design one I am all for it, but you really should ask in the CannonKeys Discord server.

Ah, right, the plate files reminded me about the half plate! I wasn't able to check out the stream live, but I did check the VOD while it was still available on Twitch. There was a point in the VOD (that I can't reference anymore, RIP) where you did a test placement, and it looked like the edge alphas on the left side didn't quite clear the plate. It could also be that I'm not quite familiar with the footprints. Regardless, I really appreciate you taking the time to work on that! Will you be adding the half plate file to the repo as well?

Hey Gondo, do you know how much space there is between PCB and case normally? Would these fit longer mill-max sockets?

To be honest I cant remember. The PCB supports Millmax sockets, but the case clearance is not clear in my mind. Shoot Upas some message on the CK Discord and he should be able to help

Just checked the CK Discord. The only update says “manufacturing.” Their website status is the same and hasn’t been updated since last year. The Discord rules say asking for updates “will result in a perma-ban from hobby,” which seems like a lot and would get interesting when they tried to take my keyboards. :)

Anyhow, we’re about six months in with zero updates. Seems like something more substantial would be customary soon. Thanks for listening!

I am so very sorry, but I am not the best person to ask as I am not involved with production and distribution and I know about those as much as you do. I think it would be reasonable to ask Anna or Upas about some small update since as youve said it has been quite some time; however, CK tends to be very, very good with their updates and promptly respond so if no updates are up means that the boards are still in production probably.

Hi Gondo, Where I can find Sagittarius's plate file?

There ya go

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I'm looking at options for getting a plate cut and plugging in the SVGs at this link, and I'm not sure what I should put for the dimensions (height, width, and thickness). Is this information available anywhere?

You should be able to get all of that from the SVGs using a vector software (like Inkscape)

Thanks! I found it now (also if I just open the svg in a text editor it's written right there!) Still not sure about the thickness (1.5mm?), and struggling a little to figure out the "total path length" that some services like laserboost ask for, but I can probably figure that out.

Sorry to ping this thread again about the same topic. I figured out most of the dimensions I need for the plate, but there is one left: the plate thickness. Other brass plates I have are 1.5mm, so I'm guessing that might be right, but I don't know how much room there is for error in a gasket mounted system and I don't want to order something and later find it doesn't fit! The other options I'm given (by laser boost) are 1.2mm or 3mm (which I assume is way too thick). Sendcutsend offers 1.6mm, which I'd hope is close enough to 1.5mm as to be equivalent.

I could, of course, wait for my sagittarius to arrive and measure the thickness of the plate, but if you could let me know the thickness of the one that comes with the sagittarius ahead of time it would allow me to get everything together ready for when the keyboard itself arrives :-)

Thanks for the help, sorry to have to keep banging on about the plate!

1.5 or 1.6 should both do.

Either CK would have to do it, or someone who has the capacity and knowledge to do it would have to get Upas to give them the required information to make a matching one or to gather the measurements themselves once the boards start to get into people's hands.

Ok so the stock fiwmare on Sagittarius does not support encoders, hence why yours probably won't work. I talked to Upas and we are looking into what can be done; most realistically, I will need to get my unit in hands to develop the needed firmware, which won't happen in a month or so. For now, if anyone is building their Sagi, avoid using the encoders at all.

The stock firmware submitted does not support encoders at all, which was a miss on our part but we are looking into it.

Any hope for Upas to release the dimensions so we could get wrist rests made? Sure seems like the board will be incomplete without a matching rest.

The pre-flashed VIA-compatible firmware only supports 2 layers (0 and 1) - is this a memory constraint of the MCU?  Or are we able to more layers using VIA if we change the value in config.h and compile our own?

I will take a look into it, but I am almost certain that's because of the VIA and MCU constraints yes. The MCU has 64kB of flash memory which has to store both EEPROM for VIA and QMK for firmware

So I've built my Sagittarius and have used it for a while, and I wanted to get folks' feedback on the layout.

If you have a Sagittarius, have you been using it regularly? What do you think of the curved/split layout? Any trouble adjusting? Does it seem more comfortable once you get used to it?

Here's my very quick take: I'm a regular user of ergo split and Alice/Arisu-style layouts, and the Sagittarius required an adjustment period of 3-4 workdays before I kind of got accustomed to it. I still don't type as quickly and as error-free on it as on other splits after a week and half of use, but I'm getting better. There does seem to be a lot of finger movement required compared to other layouts, but there's also something kind of intertesting and almost addictive about using this layout that appeals to me. Which is why I'm curious what other folks are finding as they use it. :)

I've been using my Sagittarius for about 3 days now. I'd been using an Alice/Arisu style keyboard for the past couple of months; before that, a standard keyboard for many, many years.

I found it really comfortable to use immediately. Apart from some of the modifiers that are in different positions to my previous keyboard, it's taken minimal adjustment to get used to it.

The biggest surprise for me was the weight! I didn't really realise how much I moved my keyboard around during the day until I got the Sagittarius :-)

I'd agree, it does feel somewhat addictive to use and I'm really enjoying it.

I'm not sure what I'm going to do when (if!) I go back to the office, I'm not going to carry this one back and forward.

Great job, Gondo!

I've been using mine since the second it showed up.  I originally got into mk for ergo reasons, but after a couple years of DIY splits, I just fell in love with the more traditional customs.  I have some RSSI issues since I've used a keyboard for work for a couple decades now, and I get around it by rotating keyboards frequently throughout the week. 

All of that just to provide some context on my opinions here, but I love this layout.  I think if you don't know how to touch type in the traditional sense that it would be difficult to use at first, and hopefully would encourage someone to learn.  I find that it's definitely different than an Alice layout, and requires some more hand movement, most noticably for me is reaching N and B keys.  I've optimized my layouts over the years to require less frequent movement away from the home row for the things I normally do (VIM-style arrow key mappings and mod tap ctrl/backspace where caps lock is are probably most relevant here) so I don't have any issue reaching those keys.  I find the layout comfortable and have been using it for a couple weeks straight without fatigue issues.

All in all, I think there's a lot of innovation in this layout.  I'll always love the traditional layouts, but I really appreciate seeing a more ergo-focused custom that looks great, feels good, and doesn't force an ortholinear or sub-60% layout.  For folks who can't touch type via the home row, I think it might be tough getting used to using this but all the more reason to learn imo.

I just wanted to ask if anyone would like to sell me their Sagittarius?  I made a mistake when I missed out on this and would like to buy if possible.

FYI - extras are live on cannonkeys right now.

I'm a bit new with this kind of thing, but do you think it'd be possible to flash it with only QMK to unlock the space for another layer or two

and if so, would you be kind enough to point me in the direction of how to go around doing something like that?

Thanks!

Got one of the extras the day they dropped and this board has not left my desk since it got here. I've never felt so comfortable typing for long periods of time, and would love to have a gaming specific layer built into this along with a function layer (and programming the constellation led's for everything) :D

If you use "pure" QMK then yes, that should free up enough flash for extra layers. I can takr a look into that later, but right now I'm concentrated into making the multiple encoders work

If four/multiple encoders aren’t possible, hoping we can get layer support on the encoder so we can control volume, scroll, brightness, etc.

The stock firmware submitted does not support encoders at all, which was a miss on our part but we are looking into it.

Hey, just wondering if you made any progress on encoder support. I'm building QMK from source, so not worried about VIA compatibility, and I've tried following QMK's instructions here to add support to my layout but I've got stuck with the values for ENCODERS_PAD_A and ENCODERS_PAD_B since I don't know which pins the encoders are routed to. I tried a few random combinations but there are quite a lot of permutations and I gave up in the end  ;)

Is it as simple as finding out the correct values for these macros and plugging them in, or is there more work that needs to go into adding support to the firmware?

Thanks!

PS: I'm not trying multiple encoders or anything fancy like that, either -- just a single encoder in the very top-left socket. Should that be a relatively easy thing to do if I knew the right pad values?

EDIT: Sorry, I missed your post from April 27 saying you were still looking at it when I posted this. Follow-up question, though, since you mention multiple encoders: should it be relatively easy with a single encoder?

Hi Gondo and folks!


Seems I am a fan of Gondo boards, first the Viendi 8L and now the Sagittarius.


I have 2 questions though: which colors (bottom as well as top) are anodized and which are painted?
I believe E-white is always painted?
And: what’s up with that pretty red board, is there a way to get that one?


Cheers!  :)

Any hope for Upas to release the dimensions so we could get wrist rests made? Sure seems like the board will be incomplete without a matching rest.
Also hoping for this?  Any wrist test options or files to help build our own?

Mmm, e-white isn't painted, like powder coat, it's electrostatic coating. It's more similar to anodisation that parts gets put into a "bath". There's an article about differences, pros/cons for e-coating.

Hello-- I recently found & fell into the Sagittarius rabbit hole..

I was able to pick one up recently and after a bit of research I have 2 questions:

[0]: Were you able to get the rotary encoders added into the firmware?
> « Reply #118 on: Tue, 22 February 2022, 22:07:21 »
> "Ok so the stock fiwmare on Sagittarius does not support encoders, hence why yours probably won't work. I talked to Upas and we are looking into what can be done; most realistically, I will need to get my unit in hands to develop the needed firmware, which won't happen in a month or so. For now, if anyone is building their Sagi, avoid using the encoders at all."

[1]: Were the PCB files ever made open source?
(I know this is something you mentioned in the GB)

Thank you!

Here's a long-time review of this keyboard for those that are looking to grab one:

5/5 Functionality - One of the best ergonomic typing experiences I've tried. I've tried Splits, Alice, and ErgoDoxes, and none compares. One of my top WPM is achieved with this keyboard
3/5 Sound - It sounds like an average keyboard.
2/5 Aesthetics - Not the greatest-looking keyboard. If it were, I would be using it every day. It's very heavy, which is a plus.

Other notes: It's a stiff typing experience on a gasket mount. I like my non long-pole linears with a stiff typing experience, so no big deal here.

It was not, no. The QMK PR for the encoders was still not merged and at this point I dont think it ever will. I tried a custom implementation to no avail because the QMK drivers for the encoders changed. might as well try again

"Each one of the top left keys are compatible with rotary encoders; you can use one, two or even all four of them at the same time" - that was the selling point that had me. But, until now, no rotary encoders support... :'( :'( :'(
