Man. If the darker gray color is offered this time, I may have to let go of my R1 Jane! 

Also, what's with all the gun mats?

Maybe i will do the same thing as you  :cool: :cool:
I think the titanium grey needs more dark so it's will more beautiful

I would prefer keeping the light Titanium grey though. I think that is one unique color TGR-Jane possesses.

Agreed. I really  love the shade of r1's pink abd titanium

I'm not a fan of lighter cases, but I realize that certain keycap sets look good with only lighter cases. I don't have my board yet, but that titanium gray has REALLY grown on me and I'm super excited to get mine. I think it's a great compromise of a light color with a dark tint.

I received mine couple days ago looks fantastic, pics coming later today

[Rodgaroon]

Thinking of getting a sky Blue case and picking up Miami Keycaps. Man I REALLY wish they did another round of those.

[henz]

I really need to build my board soon!!!!

[Steezus]

I really need to build my board soon!!!!

I got all the parts prepped in advance for my board, just need to wait for it to come in and then solder everything up.

[henz]

I have everything packed. I don't even know where my soldering iron is

[Steezus]

You better get on that, a board this beautiful mustn't go long un-assembled.
I sip socket-ed my vintage browns, added Gateron clear tops, and LEDs. By the time I finish my Jane my Orion will probably be coming in, going to be a busy few weeks for me.

Waiting for your Blue grey color

Waiting for your Blue grey color 

I've been waiting for some blue grey pics as well, been curious to see how it looks because that's what I ended up grabbing. I should be able to pics soon enough once it arrives.

If I can make it into round 2 I'm hoping for either red or sky blue. I hope sky blue is an option so bad, every board I've seen with it looks amazing. I'm planning on using my GMK TA set for my blue grey, hoping it will turn out good.

So is the difference between 84 and 87 the blockers and winkeys?

Thanks bro, I am glad that you changed your mind and decided to keep it.

[quochung1989]

    Today, I received my package. I have to wait very very long times to see it. I'm stressed when it's in customs office more months Now I am very happy 
    This board is almost very good. The first feeling is very cool. Surface is very smooth. When I see case, I thought CNC & anodizing is very good. But logo on plate is so simple, I like logo on case than...

[lotus1109]

Indeed it kinda looks simple on the switch plate, but well, we always use the board with top case +1 on tgr logo design.

Sweet! If someone can get these made in small amounts, I'd be down for one!

I've checked with the DXF file and I'm able to get the diffusers for €24.5 a piece, 3mm matte white acrylic (not sure how thick it should be, the price differences are negligible, add/subtract €1 per mm). At 5x, I'm looking at ~8% discount. This is obviously excluding international shipping. The plates would be cut by the same comp I've used for the Alps plate sth has (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=74337.msg1894340#msg1894340).

Any update on the diffuser?

It looks like yuktsi has been working on a diffuser for round 2, if the specs are the same perhaps we could just pick one up from the second group buy to make it easy enough and have it before Christmas.

That would be grand.

The only thing that concerns me about the diffuser is the height it would add to the top case, making the caps sink a little bit. If the top layer for r2 is the same with and without the diffuser, then I guess I have no qualms.

I was wondering the same, I was thinking if it's just a 1mm maybe even a 2mm diffuser it shouldn't raise it enough to cause problems or discomfort typing on the board.

That is a non-issue because the pcb and plate are bolted to the top case.  When you add the acrylic layer it will raise the top case along with the pcb.

Oh ok, thanks for clarifying. Then making a diffuser shouldn't be difficult at all, I just need to know who to throw my money at.

Ah, snap! Now I definitely can't wait to get the diffuser!

Mine just shipped, should have it soon enough to post some pics.

My blue grey Jane  do u guys think it is more grey than blue ?

I'm not sure which I'm more sad about, the fact I didn't get Blue Grey or that you have DSA Skull Squadron on that board ;_;

Finally some blue grey pics.

The color is really nice but I have to agree that the key caps don't go well with that board.

[eten]

Pics look nice, very eager to get my grey blue once its assembled by Jong!!

At the same time, I'm kinda sad that v2 with improvements is already available at GroupBuy. It's like spending a lot of money to buy the latest 2015 Mercedes Benz, then they announce a new revamped 2016 model is available before you even get to drive it.

Still looking forward to my first custom keyboard!

Beautiful, but not sure if the black-on-gray keys match well with it. I'm gonna put SA Retro as soon as I get mine. I hope my color scheme goes!
