The hopefully, final sample is in. The keyboard seems to fit well and there are just some minro machining marks to be seen.

This is the grey sample but the pictures has a blue tint, i can assure you that it is 100% dark grey/slate

Yeah, I noticed the machining marks and the blue tint of the photo, but it looks like it's coming together. Seems like it's the fine details at this point and the QA.


tbh i dont think the quality control can get much better than this.

I'm not too picky. The marks are veeeery subtle. Looks good!

I know this case doesn't have the blue tint in real life but I would do quite a lot to get a case in that color. Don't ask me how much I'd do because I'm afraid of my answer.

How many times have you lost a raffle in here?
It seems that some can afford to nitpick...  :rolleyes:

Just venting about my frustration of not getting in the R1 and the lack of cases with matching quality out there in the market.
Wishlist: 1) nice thick Alps caps; 2) Cherry profile POM;
More
Wishful-list: 1) We order from keyboard-layout-editor.com; 2) usable Trackpoint module for all keyboards

I never enter raffles to begin with, but I've never won any giveaways and the one time I entered a brocaps raffle when I was new and actually cared, I didn't make it.

So yeah. Lack of data for that question.

I don't think there will be any super noticeable machining marks.

I think the Novatouch/Masterkeys CNC case might have a very dark blue in the works for R2.  Don't know if you're interested in a TKL, but thought I would mention it.

While I have fallen out of love with the tkl layout, I do still have my Novatouch. Thanks for the heads up, if they go with that color i'll be joining.

I am still working out some details, like shipping before starting invoicing so ther wont be any huge surprises when you pay the shipping cost later.

Also finalizing the options. I will email a new form when I am done.

Extras will also be handed out at that time.

There are about 10 people from the list that will be added this week. They will be added from the large waiting list I have.

Once these have been added and I have gone through the final files, I'll place the order and invoice.

Thanks for your patience!

A raffle would certainly be more fair. If it's first come first serve for extras, then that gives a bit of an unfair advantage compared to how the slots were initially sorted out.

Please, fill out the form now. You should ALL have gotten an email with the form you are going to fill out, even if you don't want to change anything.

I am ready to place the order, and I need that everyone fills this out now, or I will have to delete your order, with no way to get one before r2.

I also got some responses from people who have not won the entry, which is really ****ty, so I will figure out what to do with those entries.

If you get a chance, I will let you know. The next sale will probably be a raffle, or a different FCFS, depending on what is most fair.

Wished I was there for the raffle. Those that never reply probably people that make multiple accounts just to have higher chance to win the raffle. I was looking back at various $200+ keyboard housing group buys, doubt that it ever reaches 500+ users on a single group buy on FCFS.

Okay thanks!

I have gotten most of the replies now, those emails pushing gave me a lot of submissions. I will let it go on for a little more in case some people are away for the weekend etc.

I have now warned twice over mail and here, so I think we are good to go soon :)

Were those of us that lost the R1 raffle supposed to be on a mailing list of some sort?  I never got an email and I fear I might not have made it on this list and missed out.  I'm still really interested in an FJELL but not gonna lie hearing R2 is gonna be a raffle too possibly is pretty disheartening, especially after this has been hyped so much over the last few months and interest from the R1 raffle seems to really have increased.

Good question. I lost the R1 raffle and was interested in picking up extras (and of course R2), but I didn't see an email when the emails went out, so I assumed they just went to waitlist folks who were picked for the extras. Dunno, though.
