[GB] DeltaBlade - Cancelled
« on: Thu, 15 April 2021, 13:07:40 »
Group Buy has been Cancelled.







Specifications:

• Top Mount
• 660 Layout
• 7 degree board angle
• QMK and VIA support
• MX and PCB mount stabs
• ARM STM32F072CBT6 mcu
• All aluminum construction
• Designed in collaboration with Emil, ai03, and OneCreativeMind.




DeltaBlade Info:

Color options:
    • E-White Top/Weight and Black ano Bottom/Plate
    • Black ano Top/Weight and Silver ano Bottom/Plate
    • Silver anoTop/Weight and Teal ano Bottom/Plate
    • Black ano Top/Weight and Teal ano Bottom/Plate
    • E-White Top/Weight and Teal ano Bottom/Plate

Pricing:
    • Board: $480
    • Extra PCBs and extra plates as well as carbon fiber plates will be available.

Quantity:
    • MOQ of 80




Timeline:

• Group buy opens May 3rd at Noon CDT and closes on May 31st at midnight CDT
• My goal is to have these in customers hands by Q1 2022, but subject to change.




Where to buy:

• The GB will go live on www.Viktus.Design at the above time. The site is currently under construction and planned to open up right before the buy.
• I am accepting US and international orders and all will ship from me here in Texas.
• For international customers I am trying to setup DHL shipping as an option but it might not make it in time so USPS Priority Mail International might be the only thing setup.




Layout Support:



• ISO enter and left shift are supported on the PCB but not the included plate, I will make the plate files available later on after the buy to allow you to get custom ones made.




Prototype Pictures:

Build Streams:

MechMerlin will be doing a build stream on his twitch April 29th.

Alexotos will be doing a build stream on his twitch April 25th @ 1PM ET.




Special Thanks:

• OneCreativeMind for the amazing logos

• jrfhoutx for the pain in the ass firmware work that is ARM in QMK along with feedback.

• ai03 for your work initially designing the board.

• HamKenobi for the amazing pictures of the prototypes that grace this post.

• Emil for creating the idea and allowing us to have such a awesome board.




FAQ:

Are you going to make it hotswap? No.

Can you add knob support? No.

Can you add a top left badge blocker? No.

Can you release the files so I can 3D print it? No.

Why is it this price? I don't use a ****ty manu to make my boards, so pricing is a bit higher initially but I trust the quality I get and that is what matters more imo. Also aluminum is about to hit the highest price in 10 years... That along with the mcu shortage driving up pcb prices is just the start of a new norm we have to deal with as designers/vendors and as a community as a whole.



Updates:

To follow the project you can keep up with this thread, my website www.Viktus.Design or via the Viktus Design discord server where I will be most active.

Dumb question, but is this compatible with the Leopold FC660M PCB?

I would assume not but having never seen one in person I can't confirm for a fact.

Curious why you would want that? It comes with a QMK PCB and what not. No reason to use a leopold one.

Mainly for restoration work, having a old FC660M laying around that I want to do touch ups on, but why you would do such a thing if it comes with a PCB idk, just curious.
Also I was interested in the specific layout since I'm new to the scene and I'm discovering new things regarding the hobby each day.

Is this EU-friendly shipping? In Germany more specifically?
Is there a possibility to declare it a lower price when shipping for customs? Paying an additional 19% + other fees for customs is not nice.

I will be shipping from the US as I wasn't able to figure out how to coordinate for a proxy for this in time, so shipping will be a tad expensive depending. I tried to get DHL in time but they won't reply to my emails unfortunately.

As for the value, that is actually illegal and I will not be under declaring the value for orders.

Update:


Unfortunately the group buy has been cancelled due to a low order quantity at the halfway point. All order have been cancelled and refunded.

Thank you all for the support so far.
