Important Notes for all joiners

Because GB form design was not designed in a perfect state, we missed some choice in it. Something more need to be check with joiners:

• For who chose both 'upgrading sandblast weight' and 'upgrading  brass PVD weight': since that 2 options are conflict. The main difference for them is that it will be shinning with PVD. Please let us know your prefer. If you want have PVD, you can chose 'Black' or 'Silver' color for it.
• For who chose QMK pcb combine with WK layout in base kit, there are 2 layout provided for it: WK Layout I (6.25u Spacebar) and WK Layout II (7u spacebar). We will provide WK layout I as default option. If you prefer Layout II, please let us known
• For who chose additional QMK pcb, please let us know preferred layout. ( WKL / WK Layout I / WK Layout II )
• For who chose additional Alu plate, please let us know preferred color (Anodizing Black / Anodizing Red / E-White / E-Yellow) and layout (WK / WKL)
• For who chose additional Alu weight, please let us know preferred color (Anodizing Black / Anodizing Red / E-White / E-Yellow)

Any method to inform us is appreciated, reply email directly, PM in forum, etc.

No blue options?

[mgsickler]

Did this sell out? Or has the form not opened yet?

[metalliccharles]

I don't think it has opened yet.

[kyungpil park]

which time zone is this?? you mean GMT -7?

[kiyoboard]

Anyone knows when this will start? I also assumed it is GMT -7 which should be now.

[Wraul]

So did I.
There is nothing like getting up at 4am expecting to spend a lot of money, just to have it be a no show :/

Edit: There we go. Just as I posted that the form went live, you can thank me later.

[volcanicislander]

Exciting stuff! Love the design.

Already started. Thanks for your interests

[Simen]

No blue options?

Yes, blue option was removed after prototype since I found that it is NOT so beautiful in daylight. So I decided to remove it from gb.

form opened, please join 

[Simen]

Exciting stuff! Love the design.

Thanks a lot

[TeeAreEffedUp]

In my excitement to hurry and fill out the form, I forgot to add an extra plate. Will we have the option to edit our orders later?

[rmendis]

In for the yellow, could not resist. Nice colors and design. Hoping for another great Fox GB!

[metalliccharles]

In for black on red.  Going to be my Ferrari board 

Yes, blue option was removed after prototype since I found that it is so beautiful in daylight. So I decided to remove it from gb.

Blue was too beautiful? Blue with yellow plate is what I originally wanting.

[Simen]

Yes, form can be edited any time before GB ended, and you can also pm me anything you would like to change.

Blue case is not so beautiful as it shown in photo studio. finally, I decided to remove it.

Oh, I see. Thank you for the clarification.  Red will do 

[coffeeshopcoder]

Will I be able to use the hineybush H87a PCB with this case ?

Sorry, it can NOT be compatible with other PCB.

Form submitted...only a few hours late. Hopefully I'll be in for one!

[Jinnnxxu]

Already in! Go Square!

[clik_clak]

Why the difference between QMK and RGB hotswappable pcb's? It seems like RGB could be added to QMK just as easy...

[xoppel]

How does one get a second plate of a different color?

[kiyoboard]

How does one get a second plate of a different color?

I mentioned it at the end of the form and my invoice had the extra plate with the color I requested.

[pixelpusher]

Will the final product have the accent color trim sitting perfectly flush with the rest of the keyboard?  It’s  it flush in some of the photos and that would only be a big dirt trap for me

QMK Firmware is not ready for it. We will try it in next gb

I am sorry that the option is not available in gb form. Feel free to add it in note or I will message / email you to check more details

Height for inner rim is 0.03 cm lower than case in order to get a more beautiful sense of layering. For my experience with prototypes, dust will not be accumulated in that mini gap, and it is very easy to clean. 

[yumboy1]

I want to change the brass weight silver color

[aznriptide859]

In for one!

Question, but one of the last renders on the IC page shows a white case with a gold tray/insert, will that gold tray be offered as an option or no?

that could be the sandblasted brass plate option.

I am sorry that brass plate option will not be provided during gb since difficulties during manufacturing

Yes, exactly it is a sandblast brass plate for prototype. But for difficulties during manufacturing, we have to abandon it during gb.

it's a good thing

[mahogany_slide]

I missed this post when I originally submitted for purchase. I didn't realize the RGB Hot Swappable PCB was a 7u space bar without a Fn key. Would it be possible to switch to a QMK Hot Swappable PCB WK Layout I still?

Additionally, would the QMK Hot Swappable PCB WK Layout I still support LED functionality if you added them yourselves?

That's a shame, thanks for the clarification!

[metalliccharles]

Can you give the weight of the case? Also the weight of the brass weight?

[JDragon]

Assuming there's still spots available in the GB, I want to get a case to reanodize silver. Is it easier to reanodize the e-white cases or the standard anodized cases?

[Peiweisgreat]

Man got in for the yellow, but now I have no idea what caps I'm going to put on this bad boy.

Yes. Of course, we can change order option for you. But as confirmed, LED is not physically supported by QMK PCB since LED can not be allocated in PCB along with hot swappable slots.

Let me know if you want to change or cancel your order.

GB Status just updated: All 50 spots were full yesterday, and we have started to send invoice after that. Due to 2 reasons, We did not close the form. First, some joiners did not pay for invoice yet. As PayPal invoice default expiration period, some sent invoices will be expired in the afternoon. Once invoice expired, we will allocate spots to other players in the queue. Second, form is opened for joiners to make changes to their original choice or add more components.

For your questions, if you want to re-ano it, standard anodized cases should be better for you.
