[limitz]

So sad I missed this group buy.

Any chance of a round 2?

[LechnerDE]

Thanks for the fast reply guys

Those keys are insatiable.  Is that some combo of old typewriter keys and newer keys?  Loving the "Interrupt" and "Delete" key beneath it.

Where does one purchase these "insatiable" keycaps? But seriously - those were a great find. Anyone know where to find these or something similar?

I think those keycaps are from WEY HK2000, you might find more info here

Here is the tutorial on how to set up macros.

[Zombly]

So excited to play with mine once my usb cord comes in!

[bianco]

Here is the tutorial on how to set up macros.

thank you Elton
i don't really use macros but will give it a whirl some time.

I forgot to mention that I would prefer you guys send me the payment for the acrylic side inserts via gift payment instead of me having to invoice you guys (over 50 right now).

I'll probably stop collecting after next weekend, so we can have this in our hands quicker.

Each set is $4 + whatever gift payment fee you would have to pay to send the money to me.

Make sure you make a note stating your username, name, etc on the comment so I know who you are.

I think you guys who ordered from me before have my paypal email already. If you don't send me a PM.

EDIT: I FORGOT ABOUT THE SHIPPING...

I still don't know the exact amount yet..do you guys prefer to pay the shipping fee when I get them?

[LechnerDE]

do you guys prefer to pay the shipping fee when I get them?

If possible it would be better to pay everything at once.

With split payments you have to pay Paypal fees twice

[Jokrik]

Since I live in Asia,
wouldn't it cost me less if I get it send out straight from Korea?
would it be from Korea though? lol

Ok, I can safely say these prices are right..  This is with the cheapest option with padded envelope.  If you want a better shipping option, let me know. I'm going to add $0.75 per order for these to ship to me.

Canada: up to 6 sets - $3

US: up to 3 sets - $4.50
      up to 6 sets - $6

International: up to 3 sets - $7
                    up to 6 sets - $11


To send me money

= # of sets ($4 per set) + shipping to you (above) + shipping to me ($0.75) + PayPal Gift Fee

should we use the email from the invoice?

I am not sure how much it cost if it is shipped from SK..They didn't really want to do this, but they did, so I don't want them to ship anything for me..


If anyone in China wants to buy a bunch of Lightsaver V2s, V2 PCBs, and Orions, go message them!

[feizor]

I'm not in China but I really want a light saver v2 haha

[taylordcraig]

Picked up a bunch of acryl sides, why is china getting special treatment?

[deci]

lol same. it's pretty popular though, maybe we can keep our fingers crossed for a v3.

[animaliaparadoxa]

How many out there are still interested in buying a V2? Should we start and interest check and buy the 17 Lightsavers from the cancelled order?

Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes please.

I missed on this GB, wont mind jumping in if there is another one soon or later down the road.

[animaliaparadoxa]

I don't know who would manage the group buy but I could at least start and interest check thread. Elton doesn't think there would be enough if us to warrant a GB and he might be right. I'm told we need at least 20 orders - 30 ideally.

[bazemk1979]

if u do the ic, im in

I would buy one if it got to that stage.

[deci]

Yeah I'm in too if we can get a gb going.

[cyberwave]

count me in for a set if you guys get it going

[taylordcraig]

I count six already and I'm sure there's more that aren't checking this thread. I say boot up that IC and see what happens!

[Zombly]

If I could, I'd buy another lol, I love mine just got it set up yesterday didn't want to stop typing on it.

[animaliaparadoxa]

Well in that case I'll start an IC thread [EDIT] this weekend if no one beats me to it. We can worry about who will coordinate the GB later.

[KushZEN]

If anyone has a lightsaver for sale, I'd happily buy one. Kind of in a desperate situation since my main keyboard is dead, and need a new replacement asap.

Spreadsheet for the acrylic inserts.

[blighty]

Was there any insight to using the Lightsaver V2 in BIOS/GRUB using Duck's firmware editor?

[LechnerDE]

Finally got home after 5months abroad and my Lightsaver was already waiting for me:



I put the DSA Dolch set on it, but don't really dig the flat DSA profile on this angled board.

I will replace the keys with the GMK Dolch set as soon as I get them from Ivan.


I haven't really played around with it yet and can't even figure out how to control the lighting. Any tips for me?

Thanks!

I hope this guide is idiot proof, so I can work with it

[Blackehart]

Just curious,

Did anyone feel the need to put shelf liner in their lightsaver?

[blighty]

Just curious,

I used the thin packing material that the keyboard was wrapped in.  The neoprene layer I put in my phantom was too thick to fit. 
Also, does no one want/need/able to use this board in BIOS/GRUB modes?

[bianco]

i put shelf liner in mine. not much of a need... but rather an ocd itch.

[StylinGreymon]

does no one want/need/able to use this board in BIOS/GRUB modes?

This sounds troubling.
Is it a LightSaver-specific quirk, or do all Duck boards suffer from this?
I'd hate to have to keep a second board connected just for reboots.

So this is a general problem, I have the same issue with faceU ps2avr board. For my board I found a workaround, if the board is connected to a powered USB hub it works also in BIOS/GRUB

[Photoelectric]

Just curious,

Did anyone feel the need to put shelf liner in their lightsaver?

Absolutely.  I also have thin silicone o-rings between the case stand-offs and the PCB, as without them, I don't like how rigid the typing experience is.  It sounded very metallic before all that and felt too rigid when typing, even on cushiony stock Clears.

[taylordcraig]

edit: I got a v2 1800 plate thanks
I SUPER NEED A LIGHTSAVER 1800 PLATE ASAP, PLEASE HELP WILL PAY

heya photo, which shelf liner and silicone o-rings did you use if you don't mind? ty

[dragonken]

I just filled the order form of acrylic inserts.

orion inserts x 1
light saver v2 x1

[witbliz]

**** I forgot to pay for the acrylic ! Elton, Pm me your PayPal and amount needed

[kennyk64]

Me too. Elton can you please send me the paypal invoice for the insert? Thanks!

[StylinGreymon]

He already ordered them, guys.
You might be outta luck.

[radio_killah]

When is there going to be another run of the v2 or a release of v3? I just saw a v2 with the 1800 and I need one....

[cirrus82]

I finally set mine up this weekend!

The only problem I'm encountering is that the scroll lock is not working on my Mac.  This works on other keyboards, it looks like the keycode might be the wrong one (odd as it works on my PC).

I need to have scroll lock work as I went with the layout without dedicated arrow keys (need them on my numpad).  I was wondering if I could fake a scroll lock by using some kind of a function toggle key but I don't see that in the mapper for the LightSaver v1.x, I do see one in the v1.9a but the keyboard didn't work after I flashed it with that. Back to a v1.x one and it works, but still no scroll lock in Mac.

Did anyone run into this?

I haven't tested this or encountered this problem but have you tried the trick of setting your windows localization to korean? It's what was preventing some people from having functioning arrows and I suspect the scroll lock might be the same issue.
If you've already tried forgive me and contrats on your lightsaver.
