been waiting for this.

though price will be higher than (say) a cherry 3700, its because of the excellent case. I am basing estimated price on the price listed on kbd4u.

Interested depending on price and when. Maybe for two, the GF liked it too.

SpAmRaY · « **Reply #7 on:** Mon, 06 January 2014, 20:00:04 »

Do want!

Sifo · « **Reply #8 on:** Mon, 06 January 2014, 20:22:32 »

Can you get me a Viper instead?

nubbinator · « **Reply #9 on:** Mon, 06 January 2014, 20:34:15 »

These are so sexy. If the price is right, I'd be in for one.

amos5606 · « **Reply #10 on:** Mon, 06 January 2014, 20:45:49 »

Great ! I'm waiting for this !!

elton5354 · « **Reply #11 on:** Mon, 06 January 2014, 21:02:56 »

The price will be around $145 depending on quantity.

Viper is nice. I think it will come in either a full 60% and a HHKB style layout case..

codyeatworld · « **Reply #12 on:** Mon, 06 January 2014, 21:14:27 »

Wow that price is amazing!

I'm in for one for sure!

What is a viper?

nuclearsandwich · « **Reply #13 on:** Mon, 06 January 2014, 21:17:23 »

I will find the money. Guess I'll be working hard this month.

Dubsgalore · « **Reply #14 on:** Mon, 06 January 2014, 21:18:25 »

depending on the cost, then yeah maybe

I'd much rather a viper

Definitely interested.

HPE1000 · « **Reply #21 on:** Mon, 06 January 2014, 21:50:37 »

This looks awesome as well as the viper.

But quick question, why do they look so damn similar to the fmj case?..

Duck:

FMJ: (sorry for quick, slightly smudged/dirty picture of case)

elton5354 · « **Reply #22 on:** Mon, 06 January 2014, 21:55:04 »

I don't have any details on the Viper. FMJ design might have inspired duck to make a similar case with LEDs on the bottom? Who knows.

dorkvader · « **Reply #23 on:** Tue, 07 January 2014, 01:35:25 »

The finger holes on the back to lift the case is hardly a new design, I like how both designers are using it. You can also see a similar idea on the pokerII cases as well as KB cases from team redline and OTD

Yeah, as soon as he posted the viper, I liked it as well. Not sure why he went with the top panel like the saver, as opposed to the "tub" design of the lightsaver, but I will admit it does lent itself nicely to a partially covered top case to cover the unused switch positions of the hhkb layout, etc.

justnits · « **Reply #24 on:** Tue, 07 January 2014, 02:32:40 »

anyone know if there will be another sale for duck lightsaver?

joneslee85 · « **Reply #25 on:** Tue, 07 January 2014, 03:05:31 »

I kinda dislike the bottom cover part. However I am interested in getting 2 set

Photoelectric · « **Reply #26 on:** Tue, 07 January 2014, 13:49:23 »

Duck's designs are so good! Love all of them, and the new Viper is definitely very nice. If you get ahold of those acrylic side inserts, could you let us know, please? I'd like a couple for my upcoming LightSaver.

elton5354 · « **Reply #27 on:** Tue, 07 January 2014, 14:10:49 »

Cool, I didn't even knew about it until you mentioned it and I went looking for pictures.

Photoelectric · « **Reply #28 on:** Tue, 07 January 2014, 14:35:57 »

Yeah, also apparently some that look like this

StylinGreymon · « **Reply #29 on:** Tue, 07 January 2014, 19:20:45 »

Would this come with switches and everything already assembled, or would it be a kit I'd have to put together?

Psybin · « **Reply #30 on:** Tue, 07 January 2014, 19:28:34 »

^^ good question

But at $145 I'm in for sure.

usually you put it together unless you want someone else to make it for you

I can't solder to save my miserable hide.
Too bad, because I would love this keypad + a matching case for my Poker.

it's pretty easy to find folks to do the soldering , assembly, and programming if they're not things you're into. Most people post asking about assembly in the group buy thread but I'd suggest finding another local geekhacker. then you can either learn with them or at least save the double shipping costs

Glod · « **Reply #34 on:** Tue, 07 January 2014, 21:08:37 »

Oh man, I want one, I'm going to start saving some funds just in case i can get one.

demik · « **Reply #35 on:** Tue, 07 January 2014, 22:49:06 »

these are nice. but 175 for a keypad is ridiculous. i get that it's alu case and all but sheesh.

on the other hand, that viper is NICE.

Neal · « **Reply #36 on:** Tue, 07 January 2014, 22:53:50 »

This and a Viper is my ultimate keyboard setup.... WANT.

Read as: get me these and you'll be rewarded.

DelKey · « **Reply #40 on:** Wed, 08 January 2014, 06:33:48 »

I really like this! Depending on timing, I'd be interested in two or maybe even three. It would be especially nice if the colors matched or complimented some of the more recent metal cases.

elton5354 · « **Reply #41 on:** Wed, 08 January 2014, 07:12:12 »

A nice handful of interest here.

Switches are not included with the set.

If there are enough interest in the US, I'd like to find a US proxy to have these delivered to save on shipping if anyone is interested in helping out.

EDIT: Viper is not ready yet. I think they recently made that prototype.

nubbinator · « **Reply #42 on:** Wed, 08 January 2014, 09:13:16 »

I can help with the shipping in the US since it should be a pretty small GB, but at that pricing, I doubt I can justify buying one. So if anyone who is buying one wants to volunteer and they're reliable, go for them over me obviously.

WinterIsle · « **Reply #43 on:** Wed, 08 January 2014, 09:32:28 »

I doubt it will be able for us to get into the first round, the group buy ends at the middle of January if not mistaken.
For the 2nd round, not sure if the production of aluminum casing is still available or not too.

balanar · « **Reply #44 on:** Wed, 08 January 2014, 09:36:30 »

Definitely in for the keypad and viper.

MsYutai · « **Reply #45 on:** Wed, 08 January 2014, 16:09:38 »

I like the look of this keypad for sure, just curious, how much(ish) would the aluminum case cost on it's own?

Why is the viper so cool? Besides the case of course.

tjweir · « **Reply #46 on:** Wed, 08 January 2014, 18:25:05 »

Holy smokes, that Viper is art!

Depending on the price/availability, I'd love to get involved with a Viper buy.

Paranoid · « **Reply #47 on:** Thu, 09 January 2014, 03:06:06 »

Looks really nice, but the case seems really high. What is the height of the case at the base and at the top compared to other keycaps? e.g. G80-3700

n0rvig · « **Reply #48 on:** Fri, 10 January 2014, 14:26:40 »

WOW! That is nice!

That's enough to make me start using a numpad.

Actually, I'm not sure, but the angle is 11 degrees.

Thanks for the offer. If I can't find anyone reliable that's interested in this, I'll ask you.

I'm planning on opening a new thread for order, so keep your eyes open.
