For those of you who are not aware of the case yet, this is an acrylic housing for 60% board with aluminum stands at both ends, all parts CNC'd. The case takes a 7° slope in shapes.
Color options:
- Black Silver Gold Blue Red is basic choice, no minimum quantity required.
- Other colors need 5 orders each to made into production.
May work on some color acrylic options, update later
PRICES:
- Base kit (case only) $120
- Standard kit (+ CF plate*) $150
- Full kit (+ PCB, LEDs, parts) $180 + (parts costs)**
- CF plate $50
** Further explain on the fully assembled kit: basically we charge $30 for the assembling service, all other parts including PCB (B.face from wkl.kr), LEDs, switches will be at orgininal cost.
Shipping will be handled mostly by proxy, North American orders will be done by Zeal (huge thanks), European ones will be done by our own, you'll get a secondary invoice for shipping when the order is ready to go.

Delay
Due to the problem of the acrylic supply source that have an issue in their consistency of acrylic thickness, the production is expected to delay for another 2 weeks at the most optimistic estimation. The problem explained:
Oh I have a horror story was about to tel everyone.
We are expecting some delay (about 1.5-2 more week compare to estimate 7-8weeks) due to acrylic blocks that I bought was not thick as spec said.
Our acrylic case thickness is 21.5mm from case bottom to a little bit higher than keycap bottoms. For that thickness, 25mm thick block would be sufficient, we think it will actually run from 24mm to 24.5mm. When they arrived, almost half of the blocks are only about 23 - 23.5mm, which is not good enough since we need to machine the surface for uniform thickness. After some unsuccessful to get the acrylic provider get them replace, we decide to order the replacement needed from someone else, with myself measure them with digital caliper before paying.
Surprisingly, most of them are close to 24mm or even 23.8. We can only measure the edge of the un-cut sheet so no way to know if they're all thick enough at areas far from the edge. After some calculations, we decide to go for 30mm thick acrylic so plenty of room for thickness error.
But that's come with a cost other than little higher material price. Most of them are true 30mm, not an block thinner than 29mm! I was expected them to be around 27 to 27.5mm (due to our experience with 25mm thick ones).
Now we have downtime due to halting for faulty ones, wait time for those new 30mm arrived, and 5mm more to shave down each block which is a lots since we run carefully so no chipping on acrylic - a hard but brittle material.
:(
We are sorry for the delay we know waiting sucks. We also doing our best to bring the case as soon as possible.
Progresses will be updated continually as usual.
Packing updates
As of now everything has come close, only problem is that I've already come back to Finland sooner than expected so foggy is alone handling over 150 cases both this and Weaven so it may takes more times than normal. While this is not a problem if you guys can give him a little bit of time it still worth noticing for the progress update. Besides everything is wrapped and we're looking forward to shipping in 1-2 weeks time.

Also a friendly reminder that you guys will be receiving secondary invoice for shipping costs when packing is done. :)

1. Can I buy the base kit + B.face with controller and diodes pre-soldered? And how much would it be?
I want to solder switches myself because I haven't decided switch type yet. Plus I want to use a different plate. Basically, I don't want to buy B.face separately from winkeyless and pay another shipping fee.
2. Is it possible to use frost acrylic case instead of clear?
So the light could be diffused nicely.
3. Shipping fee to US?

I really wanted all three of the cases that was dropped today lol. So I dropped out of the jukebox group buy so I could afford Weaven and the other acrylic case as well as pay my invoice to lunaris. But hey, a lot of drops on the month of my birthday. So that's nice :thumb: :)) :))

So you say that North America shipments will be handled by Zeal, does that mean hes going to try and use DHL overnight and charge us like $75 to ship from canada? Ive dealt with zeal in the past, and his shipping is handled pretty poorly (no options, overcharging, etc).
I want to get in on this but if Zeal is proxying, im expecting to see a $75 shipping invoice.
To offer a different perspective (in case this post deters anyone from ordering - especially if they were going to order purple), Zeal's name is part of the reason I decided to join this buy. He charges ~15$ from Canada to the US and I have never felt he has 'overcharged.'
I have been in three other group buys regarding Zeal (proxy for SPRiT, 1st round Zealio, and now, 3rd round Zealio) and he has delivered everytime - even with the SPRiT stuff that I think some people STILL haven't received... and he replaced a plate for me during that buy when I told him he didn't have to.

I asked him to stop by the thread if he could to speak for himself - but his reply seemed positive. He mentioned anticipating early July for his R3 and bazh mentioned 4-6 weeks for this, so it looks like things would line up fairly nicely barring any complications.

So you say that North America shipments will be handled by Zeal, does that mean hes going to try and use DHL overnight and charge us like $75 to ship from canada? Ive dealt with zeal in the past, and his shipping is handled pretty poorly (no options, overcharging, etc).
I want to get in on this but if Zeal is proxying, im expecting to see a $75 shipping invoice.
To offer a different perspective (in case this post deters you from ordering), Zeal's name is part of the reason I decided to join this buy. He charges ~15$ from Canada to the US and I have never felt he has 'overcharged.'
I have been in three other group buys regarding Zeal (proxy for SPRiT, 1st round Zealio, and now, 3rd round Zealio) and he has delivered everytime - even with the SPRiT stuff that I think some people STILL haven't received... and he replaced a plate for me during that buy when I told him he didn't have to.
I am sorry that you seem to have had issues with him in the past.
Theres no issue with reliability, i know Zeal is trustworthy. I am just a little worried about getting overcharged for DHL overnight shipping, because thats all he uses.
I'd appreciate if you would lessen the exaggeration...I offer DHL Express because the cost savings of items under 2lb is less than $2 vs Canada Post. Any heavier and it's faster and cheaper. I'm fairly certain anyone would take overnight delivery over 4-7 business day delivery.
For me to charge you $75 via DHL overnight to USA, the keyboard would have to be 45lbs+. Let's be reasonable, shall we? Depending on how the Lustros are packed, I expect DHL shipping to be in the $20 range.

Yes, I can offer to ship Zealios with your Lustro/Weaven. Please send me an email with your order # shortly after you've paid for your Lustro/Weaven kit.

So how this works? Place an order over your website? Or just include Zealios as parts on Lustro/Weaven order?
It would be nice to just make one combined payment and get correct shipping fee at once. Thanks for the help!

From my understanding, I'll be invoicing for shipping after bazh's GB is closed. Just send me an email if you've already got Zealios orders, I'll calculate the difference. If not, place an order for Zealios still, as I'll be using that order as a reference. The shipping invoice for the keyboard will be adjusted accordingly.

Really excited about this case, will probably be in for Round 2 once I see more pictures of fully built boards from this round. I was also super curious how purple anodized legs would look with the smokey acrylite body so I did a rough photoshop for those that were also interested. Will remove at bazh's request.

That might be a good idea. Plus you can do different colors on each side when you get a mad day, haha. If this supports Planck, you can even create a symmetric two-color layout for the keys. Just saying. :D

Would gladly order extra side pieces. I'd love to get both Gold and Purple (if Purple becomes a thing).
Since many of you want that, I can make that happen. The pair of the stand will cost $60. :thumb:
I'll put "Extra stands" in the form, those who already put your order in you can comment the quantity and color you want for extra pieces and I can put it in the order list manually. :p
Also, I'm listing all color proposal and quantity so far so you could easily get a record of what color can make it :D

My preferred case is smokey acrylic with purple side pieces (like that unofficial mockup), but would like to get extra side pieces in gunmetal (or black if gunmetal doesn't make MOQ).
Should I wait until you confirm smokey acrylic is available, or should I order now and cancel if it's not available? I don't like the idea of cancelling and wasting your time, but also don't want to miss out on the group buy.

1) To estimate the cost of the PCB on winkeyless.kr, should we be adding all soldered components as well (diodes, resistors, controller, RGB, LED's, etc)?
2) Would it be possible to have sip sockets installed instead of LEDs? If not, since your plate supports switch top removal, would it be possible to add these after assemble is complete?
Post by: bazh on Wed, 18 May 2016, 11:19:30
Two questions1. Most likely the PCB will be purchased with controller components soldered, all other thing including diodes, resistor, LEDs (regular 2x3x4mm LED), RGB SMD LEDs will be ours to be done.

2. I don't have a source for sip sockets plus install those require extra efforts (removed switch tops, put in, then close switch tops) so it will be done by you if desired. Basically we don't provide custom switch work now. :D
Also, here's the color count, including order from Weaven Round 2 too

Note that this is just a visualized example using color fill from Google Sheets, it may not represent 100% accurate real color
There's also people with Dark Blue and Deep Sky Blue in the order sheet but I'm assuming that you all want a deep blue more like Navy blue so it will be basic option, no counts needed.

So the default blue is the blue in the pictures of Weaven OP, right?
Though I'm fine with that blue, I would prefer some special blue. Cyan is a little too bright to me. Maybe we can find a color between cyan and blue?
BTW, gunmetal is appealing too
Is it the time for the poll now?

Will round 2 be a thing? I need some time to decide if I need another keyboard, as this is super tempting.
It could be, but I still have many thing to play with on this case so maybe it'll be different in the future, says, different side design or something like that :D

As long as you can find enough people to support your proposal, feel free to think of the color :D I think for now I will just keep inform you the quantity for each color first, since we know don't know how many more order it will end up with yet so I think we still have time to adjust the color options after order is closed. ;)

Sorry bazh I didn't make myself totally clear. I see you put that I wanted a clear case along with my sandblasted case, but I would only like the sandblasted. In total: 1x Red Aluminum, 1x Purple Aluminum, 1x Sandblasted Case. Thanks!Put my order in for 1 red stand set but I'll take 1 purple set alsoso that mean you're in for 2 set in total? :D
I'll edit it :thumb:

Deep sky blue is a nice color.
I agree. I'd be down for that.
Would also be down for that!
Also Bazh, is there a difference between sandblasted and frost (sandblasted)?
I think it's just only wording, the goal is to have the finishing which create light diffusing effect :D

There is a difference between clear acrylic that's been actually sandblasted (has a rough finish), and a semi-translucent acrylic (which can have a smooth finish).
Clear acrylic that has a rough finish might become shiny/clear with oil from fingerprints, etc. and won't really diffuse the light as well as semi-translucent acrylic.

So my little promotion works I guess :D
Should I say "Deep Sky Blue" meets the MoQ? Cos' there are five here already including me~
Now here we go, a real sample~

hmm, let me take a look on that, for me in this buy I mean clear acrylic with rough finish, see if I can find supply for the other one and price stuff too :thumb:

Like bazh mentioned, the goal would be to make a nice and equally distributed diffusion. The "frost" option on Winkeyless is good enough IMO (top one in the following image)

I initially wanted something to match the cyan legend geekkeys caps. On my computer they are almost identical to dark turquoise. Kinda hard to tell if that will match reality though... Hmm

just remember that each screen shows color differently due to calibrating and setting modes so comparing 1:1 screen light to real life object may not be accurate for everyone :PThat's very true. Hopefully we can a close enough result. I wonder if any sample would be made and shown here before "massive" production?
Love your devotion to this buy :)Thanks, buddy! I guess this is what it takes to make your ideal color meet the MoQ :p

We are trying to get the cyan people to unify enough to get "dark turquoise" and it would be really helpful if you chose that if you went the cyan route but no pressure there. Both the dark turquoise and sky blue would look really nice with that plate probably. I don't know if you could go wrong with either.

well the color appears to me look very much like a darker shade of cyan, no tone different, perharps we can compromise on that with 'Cyan' people ? A medium shade between the 2 is kind of work for me.Dark cyan works for me I guess. You can group us together, but the final color can be still open for discussion later. We have other teal people on the list. Wonder how their thoughts on this are~
If you're ok with that then the color is secured MoQ :thumb:

Post by: Ngt on Sat, 21 May 2016, 04:46:58
Concerning the plate, as you separate ISO and ANSI, does your ANSI plate allow for 1u RShift? I use ANSI but I need that 1 extra key that ISO layout has there.
Do you have a picture for the difference between sandblasted and waterclear? Is sandblasted = frost?
EDIT: No need to answer the last question, I got the answer from the thread. I didn't read it thoroughly enough. But a smoked finished instead of a waterclear acrylic polished finish sounded better as others proposed.

Sorry for all the extra questions.

Welp, that looks sick.
Is that the smokey acrylic or the normal acrylic?

1. Are the LEDs SMD or 1.8mm switch mounted?
2. Is there an option to have RGB LEDs? If so, SMD or switch mounted?
3. I want winkey, do I need to specify winkey or winkeyless in the order?
Thanks :)

Hi Bazh, just joined in for the GB. I'm still pretty new to all this, so I have a few questions.
1. Are the LEDs SMD or 1.8mm switch mounted?
2. Is there an option to have RGB LEDs? If so, SMD or switch mounted?
3. I want winkey, do I need to specify winkey or winkeyless in the order?
Thanks :)
1. We use 2x3x4 switch mount led like this (http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/61uc1oiE7qL._SX355_.jpg) one.
2. RGB led will require a pcb that supported it, wkl.kr doesn't have any pcb with it. If you know any board that do it currently in stock, we can buy and assem for you with that one.
3. Currently there's only winkey version for Lustro, so no need for any specification.

The acrylic case looks fine to me. It's pretty much at the same quality as ones offered by winkeyless.kr.
The anodized aluminum looks kind of woody from the pictures. I'm expecting the same quality and silky metal as in 1st round Weaven GB.

For the aluminum part, I agree with you. But these might just be prototypes. I believe they can control the qualities referring to the 1st round Weaven. They did a good job on improving qualities.

Perhaps the proto is on lower quality because it is the proto therefore it was just to test feasibility and test the sketch. The cheapest the proto the better if you might have to do it multiple times, don't you think? I guess we'll just see what Bazh will say about it.

After the first Weaven groupbuy, we send out parts to multiple anodizing providers to test out difference media blasting. This really dark blue one (which this person's camera screw up with wrong light metering when taking picture) is not from the provider that got choose. But anyway, it look not even that bad in person, here's a picture of it next to Weaven, which do it (some) justice:

Sadly stuff like this would only survive here if it is used to launder money from a drug cartel.

- There's a thing called "prototype", we're testing for more media blast and anodizing facilities, but it is our responsibility to assure final product will have quality from the level of Weaven round 1 (which I can happily inform you none of our customer has complain about ;) ) to better, finger cross. ;)
- Please state if it's true you took these photos, from our understand this is some impression pics (which taken by phone, so, potatoes) from a friend of ours when we first showed him this at our workshop, Facebook link was posted above, I can gladly confirm that this is not your final product nor belong to you so it's either you taken pic from other person without asking for permission or complain about something you don't buy or even don't "have on your hand" is really a premature move. :thumb:
I don't mind, everything I do in the group buys is 100% transparent, this is our 2nd and 3rd (taking Weaven 2 into account also) so you can check the old thread how we worked, we even inform our customers when faults happened beforehand and offer replacement when expectation not met. So we're confident in our product and service.

It's cool that you bring it here, any questions about product quality will be answer as clear as possible. It's just that jumping into assumption based on a product we not deliver to end-users and "warning" everyone here seems not to do much with logic eh?
If you actually have been in the shop, and somehow got your hands onto these, I guess you're a friend close enough with the shop, either way if you really got a chance to touch these, why not freely express your concern right there then ;) There's no way we would hide anything from you if it's really the case. You can check with people from earlier Weaven buy that we take customer's feedback very serious and try to be as transparent as possible.
We're cool with your desperation though, state that if you really want to back out and we have no problem with that. We're not forcing anyone on spending their money so if our product does not provide desired expectation, we'd rather not sell it and hope to do better in future. ;)

Ngt said "I have never had neither anodized aluminium nor sandblasted acrylic at hand", to which nguyenkimtam replied "I have on my hand so i just give my comment about that". All nguyenkimtam means is that he has other Alu/Anodised boards.I was genuinely asking because I have never had neither anodized aluminium nor sandblasted acrylic at hand so I cannot say just by watching at the pictures otherwise I would not have asked the questions. I don't know what to expect from "good quality anodizing" or "good quality acrylic".I have on my hand so i just give my comment about that. That's not what I thought when i saw the render pics or any demo pics. I'm so disappointed so i don't want many people feel that when they received it

Haha i'm not jumping the assumption, i just see this and i say wow , that's not like the picture you have posted here , i see that's unclear. That's why i'm worry man
Btw , still wait to see your next prototype , which is better.

Ok just skip it , i'm not an anti of you guys , i just disappointed and still wait the better prototype from you.
If i anti i never ordered a big quantities like that.
If you have it in hand without three people in charge, then I have a cafe's management problem.
If you have it in hand with me there, then you should ask me about the quality since you ordered four (and I don't even know you), we have communication problem.
If you not have it in hand and said you did then I have you as my problem.
Not like I can skip any of above ;)

Yup and as I said to him earlier, it will most probably be a prototype so no need to get your pitchfork out. Bazh and its team seemed to have delivered good quality service/product in their GB so far so you can trust them.

And i want to say again that i never hate or biased about your team , if i have , i didn't order many like that

Btw, Tan, I will be more comfortable to refuse your fours, you can wait until the next round so no concern about quality. Only if I know who you order through since there's no one in the list ordered four, which also over-complicated for local buyer.

Just to be sure: this is compatible with the kc60 (https://www.massdrop.com/buy/kc60-mechanical-keyboard (https://www.massdrop.com/buy/kc60-mechanical-keyboard)), rigth?yeeeep. pretty much all 60% cases fit with a 60% pcb/plate since its much more standardized
Post by: fancymans on Fri, 27 May 2016, 18:24:00
1. We use 2x3x4 switch mount led like this (http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/61uc1oiE7qL._SX355_.jpg) one.
2. RGB led will require a pcb that supported it, wkl.kr doesn't have any pcb with it. If you know any board that do it currently in stock, we can buy and assem for you with that one.
3. Currently there's only winkey version for Lustro, so no need for any specification.
Thanks so much! I have a few more questions:
1. Are there any other plate options other than the CF plate? I would like to have a white or silver plate if possible.
2. What stabilizers will be used in the assembly? I prefer Cherry but if all you have are Costar, I can deal with it.
Can I change my order for Zealios (tactile, not clicky) 62g?

I think that this could be improved if you took the concept present in the legs, with the triangle, angled shapes and applied them to the acrylic part as well, to try and make the whole thing work together a lot better. For example, you could have it taper a bit, you could have it follow a similar shape, etc.
Just an idea to hopefully help you guys along :thumb:
Post by: Khuya on Fri, 27 May 2016, 20:47:46
If I could make a suggestion, I think that the acrylic part could use some improvement. Right now, it's just essentially a plastic box with fancy legs on either side.

+1, color/smoky acrylic were mentioned, is this still in the work?
Post by: foggyflute on Fri, 27 May 2016, 22:01:45
Acrylic is a hard but brittle material so anything that weakening the structure are out of options, that led to part and feature need to be somewhat bulky to be reasonable sturdy. We tested out several design but too much bulkiness to four sides decrease the aesthetic too, and adding features to the back is not worth the effort since we not see them in use anyway. It not possible for the current 60, but I have something interesting for the up coming hhkb since I have more room to play on the front side.
And the side stands design are not fixed, there will be more option to choose in near future, it worth keeping the base low profile so it go well with many other bold stand design.
Finally, Lustro meant to be budget option of the line-up (Weaven cost more for snug-fit modular parts and excessive use of carbon and still nothing compare to some of our concepts). Any design that drive the cost up are carefully calculated before available for IC and GB.
I love talking about design so it maybe longer response than needed, haha.
PS we waiting for smokey prototype too.

Yes it is, we ordered a lot kind of 60% to study more about the layout and what you can do with it, resulting in we have a lot laying around so we just randomly pick one to put in the prototype :P
I don't know what info you want about the board, for functional it is an interesting practice of getting use of the RGB SMD LEDs for the switches without the need of using Cherry MX RGB one, the LED is placed on PCB's back side and illuminate the switch through a hole cut on the PCB, by that way it can be used with any clear cased Cherry MX compatible switches such as Gateron for example.

Hey guys, are there any requests for a white anodization color at the moment? Would love a nice pure or even off-white :)
Sifo is correct. White anodize doesn't exist. Anything referred to as a "white" anodize is actually a clear anodize, thus silver.

Acrylic is a hard but brittle material so anything that weakening the structure are out of options, that led to part and feature need to be somewhat bulky to be reasonable sturdy.

Gunmetal was a voted for color - more grey than silver - so you would probably need to specify it in the 'other' field...

That's the assumption I would make. Silver was one of the default choices and, as far as I know, they didn't actually get samples of any of the 'custom' colors yet - so I do believe that would be anodized silver (I suppose an untreated aluminum sample is possible however).

I switched over to Weaven, but it ended the same as this, so it's probably still relevant. I received my PayPal notice early this morning, so things are moving. Two buys ended together and there is probably a lot to sort through - just try to be patient. I know it sucks, but it takes time...

It's nice to know people are starting to get invoices. Eager to get my own!
Not going to lie, I have been waiting quite impatiently myself - I even thought about posting yesterday to ask if anyone else had been invoiced.
It came about 0130 (CST); the 'message from seller' was as follows in case anyone is curious (emphasis mine):
Quote
This is invoice for your order of Weaven keyboard case Round 2:
- Winkeyless version
- Purple-Gunmetal-Purple color
- ANSI plate
Estimating turn over time less than 8 weeks. You'll get a notification when the case is ready to ship.
Please check the order detail above and only pay if it's right.
Looks like we may be looking at early August if not a little sooner. Hoping for mid-July myself - just in time for my birthday (it'll help my justify the expense to myself)!

There's a lot of the waiting game in this hobby so I'm totally ok with it, but always nice to hear about updates. I'm waiting to throw Leandren's latest GB onto this so the sooner the better, but it'll come when it comes so I found it best to distract myself by spending more money on other projects to pass the time. :p

My thing about group buys has always been the communication. Once that falters, it seems like everything is all doom and gloom.
I am going to throw a GH60 into mine - no need for lighting really, not on the Weaven, along with some R3 Zealio (so I am waiting on those anyways).
Really want to see what everyone's looks like once they're built.
Post by: fancymans on Thu, 02 June 2016, 15:00:25
Yeah, I was actually a little surprised by how fast this will seemingly be done - and they seemed to have been pretty good about scheduling for round 1.

Cool beans. I was thinking about switching to the Weaven too, but then I decided not to because the Lustro has those cool looking stands. I'm going for a Mirror's Edge theme on my keyboard, so all white/red with white LEDs. :) Too bad the Zealios are purple, but it's worth it for the feelios.

The best part about the Lustro (IMO) is that it is modular - I am looking forward to seeing what other stands come up in the future! To a lesser degree, it is the same with the Weaven (hoping for a brown/purple HHKB setup eventually).
Red/White is a nice color scheme - I am assuming red stands; what set of caps you trying to throw on there? The stems will be covered, so no one will see your purple secret - wish I could have them on display though! On a side note, grab a couple green blanks/artisans and you'll have a nice set up to run during Christmas too!

Was going to get blank DSA caps from Signature Plastics. Red modifiers, white for alphanumeric. I'll see what others profiles are available in terms of caps. Do you know if the stabilizers will be Cherry or Costar? Or does the CF plate support both? Costar doesn't play nice with some of my PBT caps. :(

I think both are supported, but if they are building it for you, I would expect Cherry PCB. They are easier to find in general and are what Winkeyless sells, so I assume they are going to go that way. I am really hoping Zeal gets his stabs out soon, but ordered a set of Cherry (separately) just in case - haven't decided if it would be worth all the (de)soldering to change out stabs after the fact, but will certainly pick up a set anyways.
I bought a set of blank dark grey Gateron off MechMarket to tide me over for a bit, but am really wanting to get in on Skeletor when it moves forward. I even thought about going purple/sky blue on the Weaven to compliment it, but figured gun metal would be 'interchangeable' if I ever decided to use different caps.

Could always try to find some Linear Zeals if you want the quality that Zeal switches have but still fit the White/Red theme. Obviously won't be the same as the Tactiles, but hey.

About invoicing progress: so far all of people who order winkeyless Weaven are the only to receive invoice. Next in plan is the rest of the Weaven and the Lustro order that does not come with assembling parts, people with assembling parts will be last since I have to calculate the total cost for parts too, sorry for that I hope you understand :(
Hope we can get the invoicing and payment done in next week ;)

Also, how rigid or heavy carbon fiber plate is compared to aluminum/stainless steel? Will it be better for linear or tactile switch? Because I started to like linear switches now, so I am thinking of changing ordering Gateron black instead.

I belive the "smokey" in question is the one from OP. So darker and not frosted.

Hi guys, everyone who wants their kit comes with part including PCB and switches but not assembled please check the order list again to make sure your requests are included in the list, if it's not shown please PM asap so I can start counting quantity of those components and ordering them.

Yes if you chose assembled I would put 180 there, that's the base price I put there to keep track for invoicing, then part costs will be added later when I send the invoice :thumb:

75¢ per switch, even for Gaterons? If this is the case, I don't think I'm going to do full assembly anymore.
Edit: You're ordering PCBs from Winkeyless, Cherry switches are max $0.70 from them, and Gaterons are $0.50 max (most of which are $0.33). Where did the price of $0.75 come from?

Lol no, He's talking abt Cherry Sw, Gateron will be cheaperSo for the assembly and parts content order, we're planning this:
- PCB will be $68 kit from winkeyless
- 100 LEDs ($5)
- 70 switches ($0.75 each)

Is 0.75/switch the price for zealios? If so, how much will Gateron be per switch?

Trust me, the sw price will be equal or less than the sw order from wkl :D no way it will higher

Awesome. Any news for pricing with Zealios? Not sure if the price will be from the Zealio R3 GB pricing or not.

Also TEX case are slim so you will have the Lustro sides poke up.

Sandblasting is a way to get a frosted finish. For clear materials they are the same. But sandblasted could also describe other materials like sandblasted aluminum which we wouldn't call frosted.

Guess I should have asked this before, but the Gaterons are the RGB ones with the clear switch tops, right?
Well, all of them are milky bottom with clear top but not have space for SMD rgb LED below like cherry RGB, they have a version with 4 pin rgb LED as I remember. I will need to check back if that's what you need.

I will need to test the 1.5mm acrylic to see if it sturdy enough first, it really easy to crack and we also have to press the pcb down to the back plate with the anti-slip mat in between, that's how it was designed. Maybe an acrylic plate under skeletonized carbon/steel frame or cut out for led diffuse. I will working on that.

I'd be interested in adding a set of orange stands to my order also.
Did Orange make it for production? If so I would like to change my Order to Orange, I just ordered an Overcast keycap set from massdrop and would like the case to match.
Orange did make it into final. We will have some surplus for final QC, I will notice you guys about that after checking our inventory in a few next days.
If there's no surplus, we will order more raw materials and do an extended run right after current one finish CNC :)

We buying everyone cherry pcb mount stab also charge lower price than you buy them from wkl.kr since we buy them in bulk, our plate currently support only pcbmount, and i dont remember any 60% pcb doesnt include mount hole for those.

Oh ok, my bad. I thought you could only use PCB mount stabs when you don't use plate at all. I cannot say which are best as I've never used PCB mount stabs. This would be my first self built keyboard. :)

What's the difference between PCB mount and plate mount stabilizers? Do they feel different, or is it just a preference on how you build a board?

Sorry, I will give you the exact measurement when I get home, the heigh is around 25mm from surface to keycap bottom but you probably not need the palm rest as thick as that, width is arround 300-305mm. Thick and soft palm rest is recommended, really good for me so far.Couldn't find this anywhere. What is the length and height of the case? Top down dimensions I guess.

What an awesome picture! Are we getting close now?
You can say so, we're pretty much wrapping up the CNC process, as of today all the LUSTRO stands are done, Weaven is 80% and we only have LUSTRO acrylic base left, but that can be done in the time we move on to sandblasting and anodizing aluminum parts. :thumb:

Due to some people backing out of the GB, we have some spot available now in case anyone missed the GB still want the case, now is the time to shoot me a PM and I can sneak you in to the list ;)
Everyone who order the case fully assembled please send me your desired layout, best is to use www.keyboard-layout-editor.com and extract the JPG and send it to :D Also specify the switches position for keys such as capslock (centered/off-centered) and spacebars (middle/Cherry's old righty position)

For everyone with zelios and gateron (clear-top), aesthetically pleasing so no reason for not to (tested for sound, fitting and it's okay though).
It's unlucky for us that Zeal's clear stabs are not available yet, I believe Zeal's gonna be superior to these, but this will do for now.

Sweet! I was going to order zeals, but they weren't going to arrive in time and I didn't want to have to disassemble the board to install them later. So this is pretty cool that you're supplying clear stabs :thumb:

Slightly off topic but getting ready to build! How useful is it to have a soldering station with controllable temperature versus a good single temp iron? Like an edsyn cl1481 vs a sx251 i believe it is.

I've put together several boards (including one with R1 Zealio) with a non-adjustable iron - I think the more important thing is quality; and Edyson makes a quality soldering iron from all I've heard. That said, if you have the money, I would still recommend an adjustable one.

Post by: foggyflute on Thu, 21 July 2016, 08:55:26
just curious but what are the shipping date estimates for this and weaven?
Oh I have a horror story was about to tel everyone.
We are expecting some delay (about 1.5-2 more week compare to estimate 7-8weeks) due to acrylic blocks that I bought was not thick as spec said.
Our acrylic case thickness is 21.5mm from case bottom to a little bit higher than keycap bottoms. For that thickness, 25mm thick block would be sufficient, we think it will actually run from 24mm to 24.5mm. When they arrived, almost half of the blocks are only about 23 - 23.5mm, which is not good enough since we need to machine the surface for uniform thickness. After some unsuccessful to get the acrylic provider get them replace, we decide to order the replacement needed from someone else, with myself measure them with digital caliper before paying.
Surprisingly, most of them are close to 24mm or even 23.8. We can only measure the edge of the un-cut sheet so no way to know if they're all thick enough at areas far from the edge. After some calculations, we decide to go for 30mm thick acrylic so plenty of room for thickness error.
But that's come with a cost other than little higher material price. Most of them are true 30mm, not an block thinner than 29mm! I was expected them to be around 27 to 27.5mm (due to our experience with 25mm thick ones).
Now we have downtime due to halting for faulty ones, wait time for those new 30mm arrived, and 5mm more to shave down each block which is a lots since we run carefully so no chipping on acrylic - a hard but brittle material.
:(

That's alright foggyflute. I always expect delays with GBs. Thank you for such strict QA and attention to the details!
The upside is we will definitely have a slim case style (similar to tex) in near future, due to having alot of 23mm thick acrylic there... but we not gonna do something had been done to death so maybe 40% case with a little supprise ;)

We out source our case powder polishing process to another company, best is left them in hand of professionals :thumb:
Tried flame polising, very clear and glas-like but no sharp chamfer anymore, look a little deformed so none of that. Powder polishing will leave the tooling mark right there, smooth but still have tooling mark.
I will update some picture soon of finished waterclear case, it look amazing IMO especially without led lighting, but people like sandblasted for better led diffuse.
Post by: sprit on Thu, 21 July 2016, 10:40:38
The sandblasted surface may get dirt easily, but depends on the technique as You know :)
I am expecting a wonderful outcome! :thumb:

Do we know anything about around when the barebones kit should be arriving?
We still not get our parts back from anodizing service yet. I believe it got to do with we having too many color (11) on small number with parts (less than 1000). Once we get our parts back, It will be less than 2 week for them to get there (NA buyers, bit longer for other parts of the world). We did finish machining less than 7 weeks but anodizing take more time than it should.
I'm not really want to rush them (anodizing service) since quality of anodizing depend heavily on time and carefulness of chemical cleaning process. I.e. not want to give them any reason for not meet quality standards ("because you want it fast" stuff, but not that they gonna pull it for real this is just me being careful, they are a company much bigger than us with reputation to keep).

Can't say for sure, but probably still waiting on the anodizing so there's nothing much to say. It would make sense because we've been in the loop for the whole process. If foggy or bazh can confirm, it would be appreciated. :thumb:

Post by: duynguyenle on Wed, 24 August 2016, 19:33:16
So you say that North America shipments will be handled by Zeal, does that mean hes going to try and use DHL overnight and charge us like $75 to ship from canada? Ive dealt with zeal in the past, and his shipping is handled pretty poorly (no options, overcharging, etc).
I want to get in on this but if Zeal is proxying, im expecting to see a $75 shipping invoice.
To offer a different perspective (in case this post deters anyone from ordering - especially if they were going to order purple), Zeal's name is part of the reason I decided to join this buy. He charges ~15$ from Canada to the US and I have never felt he has 'overcharged.'
I have been in three other group buys regarding Zeal (proxy for SPRiT, 1st round Zealio, and now, 3rd round Zealio) and he has delivered everytime - even with the SPRiT stuff that I think some people STILL haven't received... and he replaced a plate for me during that buy when I told him he didn't have to.
I am sorry that you seem to have had issues with him in the past.
Just wanted to chime in with another anecdote about shipping. My shipping cost to the UK was fairly expensive for my R3 order ($30), however it was partially out of his controls I think, something to do with the Canadian postal service strike, so the only option I had was DHL. On the positive side, it only took like 30 hours from when Zeal sent it to the arrival at my door, so all is well.
In general I think Zeal has a positive reputation so I would implore you to give it another go. If there's anything unsatisfactory you could always drop him an email, he is very pleasant to communicate with!

Anodizing all done :PShow Image(http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160826/eabd5dae104475604b6ab1b99e39c85f.jpg)
Now we're sorting things up and will be ready to ship in another week. :P
Also I will comeback to Finland on Monday, I will try to bring along the cases for Europe orders if everything (boxes) comes in time, so most likely the Europeans will get them first. Sorry the rest of you guys haha.
Woooo, the colors look awesome. :thumb:
Can't wait to get my set!

They're for sale right now on Zeal's site, if you're willing to wait for them and build when everything arrives. I bought some clear stabs for myself, but it's going to be for a different build. :)

my baord is being put together by bazh though so I'll probably have to take it apart and desolder everything, not really worth it at this time :(, maybe in the future though.

Same here. :) But yes, I don't think it'll be worth the work either. Just an idea, but maybe if you decide to do some customizing on it in the future, it might be a nice opportunity to swap out some stuff. Not really sure how often Zeal will be offering them.

Looks so beautiful jesus! I wonder if I should have taken a more colorful option. I thought that gunmetal would go with a wider variety of sets and better for work environment too. Wait & see I guess.

Without Bazh (who go back to Finland faster than scheduled), now that's lots of work for packaging alone.
And I even completely forgot to print labels before put one third of them in box... At least my wife agree to help me every evening, so hopefully I can ship them to Zeal next week.
Sorry for another delay. But we're getting close! I'm tring my best here!

Hey just catch some time weekends.
Haven't talked to foggy much this week, just catch up with him this morning, he caught some allegy earlier the week so had to take some days off. Sorry for unable to inform you guys earlier.
Man so much bad luck even things are almost done :(

Any chance of an update? Considering it has been a while since an update here in comparison to the Weaven thread.
Heck, even the last couples of updates in the Weaven thread haven't been that informative. The last one from foggy was three weeks ago saying Weaven was packed and he had to finish packing Lustro and the last from bazh was a week ago saying foggy was sick for a couple of days, but not really mentioning the status of anything. Seeing as this buy was estimated to be done two months ago, (invoiced early in June and it said estimated 8 weeks) I would expect something a little more substantial...
Meanwhile, foggy had logged onto GH several times during the week after being asked for an update, but before bazh showed up to answer, and several times since according to his profile - one time he was online, I even sent him a PM letting him know people had asked for updates in his threads. I don't know about you, but if I were running a group buy that was already delayed a couple times and I knew people were asking for updates, I would try to swing by the thread at least once a week.
I don't mind delays, but good communication only becomes more important as a GB drags on past its estimated end date.

Yeah exactly. I just find it bizarre that a lot of group buys have poor communication. Delays happen and I am fine with that. But when they do happen it seems like most of the time the group buy runners communicate less and less. Like they are trying to avoid the situation. You just have to look at Ellipse's F62F77 group buy which has had a big delay. But his communication has been so frequent and simply fantastic that I am not bothered by the huge delay.
Hopefully we get an update soon.

Perhaps they have bigger fishes to fries atm that impact their communication. They have tried to be as transparent as possible from the beginning of the GB but I hear you, updates are welcomed. :)

We're sr for the late shipping, but the estimate shipping date would be next week
Assuming the plan is to still have both Weaven and Lustro shipped at the same time, I figured I would post that quote here as well (in case some of you don't check the Weaven thread).

Guys, orders start rolling out today!
In the next couple of days some of you (non-CONUS) should start receiving pm regarding shipping cost. NA order will most likely be shipped last since we have to pack all them in a large bulk parcel and then get shipping invoice last by ZealPC once it arrived.

If you remember the update some times ago I have mention foggy had caught ill, turned out it was worse than a normal flu, it's been weeks that he's been in and out of the hospital. Currently dude still in the hospital, this explained the delay works.
I just learnt about his condition last week since I'm now not in Vietnam, the communication is somewhat limited. I have my friends contact him and he's alright, expect to get out soon.
Regardless of that, we can't just sit and wait, I also worry about finishing this buy. I have asked my friends for help and our friend pearvoz have agreed to lend a hand. He will travel to Ho Chi Minh City on 15th to help out with the shipping. In the meantime if foggy could recover sooner we continued it with no further reason to hold up.
This is an unfortunate news I would never want to give you. It is bad for both, because waiting sucks. On our ends we also don't to keep the stock for too long since it only costs us more on storage fee as time expand, and storing nearly 200 cases is really nervous for **** happen.
I'll keep you updated and communication with the buys, thank you for supporting us and hope you would understand. We're doing our best to finish this as soon as possible to move on with other project we have planned.

As you may well known from Bazh's last update, foggy has felt sick, so I'm here to help and take over the handling and shipping work.
About foggy, dude have been diagnosed with autoimmune disease, which is kind of serious health problem if you don't know yet. Poor guy got so bad luck that the disease kick in at the trachea, which cause him hard to breathe and have to go to the hospital like everyday. Even Bazh has not caught up with his condition for foggy has very little communicate with everyone, even friends here in Vietnam, even I didn't know about it till Bazh's recently update and asking. So there's that, the GB was delayed for this but let's hope the guy will be okay and hopefully the doctors were wrong.
Back to the GB, I've just arrived in HCMC yesterday, after a day visiting foggy now I has had access to the office, everything is still here hopefully. I'll start packing things and quoting price for you guys immediately. There's a lot of keyboard cases here and fortunately foggy has done all the prepare work so hopefully things will go smoothly. I'll do my best to help so bare with me if it's a bit slow or something I'm not sure. It's the first time I deal with this much product at once.
Cheers,
Pearvn.

Hi everyone,
As you may well known from Bazh's last update, foggy has felt sick, so I'm here to help and take over the handling and shipping work.
About foggy, dude have been diagnosed with autoimmune disease, which is kind of serious health problem if you don't know yet. Poor guy got so bad luck that the disease kick in at the trachea, which cause him hard to breathe and have to go to the hospital like everyday. Even Bazh has not caught up with his condition for foggy has very little communicate with everyone, even friends here in Vietnam, even I didn't know about it till Bazh's recently update and asking. So there's that, the GB was delayed for this but let's hope the guy will be okay and hopefully the doctors were wrong.

Jesus that's serious indeed. I hope he will get better soon! Stay strong Foggy, I'm sure you'll beat this! :thumb:
Thanks for helping on the GB Pearvn. It is certainly appreciated from the other members of the GB as I do.

These order from Asia/Australia will be deliver a little bit quicker cause I sent it directly, the tracking number will be send to you guys when I come back in Hanoi next week. Thank you for your patience. Hope to see you guys in the next group buy.
Does that mean the North American orders have been sent to Zeal?

One of my friends spoke with Zeal on the shipment and apparently there was some issue with the initial shipment and it didn't even end up leaving Vietnam. Zeal said yesterday that he hasn't heard anything about the shipment after that which was about 1 week ago. Kinda worrying that there is no communication between us and the Lustro team and between Zeal and the Lustro team.
So the big question is: what happens now?
Post by: Quackles on Sun, 18 December 2016, 17:57:53
I have asked can I have some sort of tracking or confirmation of it being shipped. I haven't got a reply. Usually I should have got it by now from Vietnam to Australia. Nothing yet so far. Communication has been so poor from this group buy.
Post by: fancymans on Sun, 18 December 2016, 18:06:28
Yeah I am not sure what has happened. I kept asking to see whether they can ship mine before I go overseas. Finally I managed to get a reply on the 6th of December and they said it has been shipped.

Agreed. A successful group buy requires a lot of communication. Without it, we're pretty much in the dark and helpless. People hate feeling like that. I'm a little disappointed because the early stage of the GB had lots of communication with pics on progress etc. but as time passed we got fewer and fewer updates. We're approaching a 4 month delay now which is unacceptable. :(

I don't think this GB could be compared to Ivan's as some have received their cases (including me). I could show pictures if some want proofs. Remember that even when facing real company like Massdrop etc. we still have to face delays so with a little structure like theirs (I'm not even sure they created a company) it's still possible. I feel they are doing their best to deliver but they have to deal with their own personal life too as it doesn't seem to be their main job. I know it is hard guys, I'm waiting on my CF-LX from more than a year now but keep faith. :)
Post by: mtzgr on Tue, 20 December 2016, 22:30:30
I feel the current situation is due to Froggy's health problem which may have complicated the GB for the rest of the team as they seem not to be as available as he was.I bought in late, so I havent been waiting long and I'm not too worried about it. The thing is, there is never a good excuse for a lack of communication. It's simply neglect.

" No word from pear_voz yet, last I talked to him he said he was going to fly to the customs office before Christmas to work out the customs tax cause they weren't happy with the underdeclared value..."
While I understand that there have been complications due to health, I do not think it is acceptable to have to talk to the shipping proxy for a response. Zeal has received many questions about the status of the Lustro because the people who run the thread have neglected to do so. Can we see some better communication between those running the GB? Even if it isn't much of an update, I would like to know something about where my order is or what has happened to it.

Hey guys, Good news! I just had a nice chat with bazh. I'm one of the participants in the group buy, and I have a quite an order. Bazh just came back from Holiday, and he should be shipping out NA orders to zeal soon. It's moving forward! A little more patience and we'll all get our 60% goodies :)

Sorry I just come back from my holiday trip despite stuffs not getting done yet because the trip is planned months ahead.
As for the last time I post, pear_voz did come and help but he didn't get enough time and still have business with his own company so he had to leave soon. Good thing all the boxes then have been moved to new place just waiting to be transfered to the post office.
(https://scontent-arn2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t35.0-12/15820879_1288893777798575_1319077632_o.jpg?oh=e9f78c6a178502d24cb21ec9584de5c2&oe=587B1F54)

Here's 2 large box, one of which will go straight to Zeal. Other is for Sherry order and non-CONUS order.
Since pear_voz has left for his hometown, we've been looking for some one to hire to complete the shipping stuff. You know it's not like I just hire some random guy since this is a large number of keyboard with (relatively) high value so. Anyway, we had one will do it. The boxes now currently sit at our friend's office, who also have been out of town because he's on an Intel's event for PC modding, which took places some days ago and now they're on special trip after-event. Expecting him to come back in the next couple of days then we can proceed. Also, pear_voz will continue to handling more directly than I will since he's closer thus the timezone would be more appropriate to work on the matter.
Please I know this is unacceptable that the buy is way too long now, but please believe in us. This is a very unfortunate situation we have and I, as some one who just start to get into the market, is very frustrated right now, kinda panic. We will deliver our products as promised since there's no reason the product won't come to you, it's just a matter of bad luck keep happening. I have to work out everything remotely so things just not going as smooth as I thought it would be.
We're definitely moving forward as we're still keyboard lovers and still have many more things we want to do up our sleeves. We'll sort this out at our best for the moment.
Again this is beyond embarrassing, I'm deeply sorry everyone affected by the delay for the inconvenience, hope you understand the situation I am currently in. Please have faith in us that we're doing everything to deliver these buys.

Good thing all the boxes then have been moved to new place just waiting to be transfered to the post office.Show Image(https://scontent-arn2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t35.0-12/15820879_1288893777798575_1319077632_o.jpg?oh=e9f78c6a178502d24cb21ec9584de5c2&oe=587B1F54)Show Image(https://scontent-arn2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t35.0-12/15878038_1288893771131909_1298787786_o.jpg?oh=27473a1396a7c4d8d62cd1a93da4ef81&oe=587B2393)
Here's 2 large box, one of which will go straight to Zeal. Other is for Sherry order and non-CONUS order.
Since pear_voz has left for his hometown, we've been looking for some one to hire to complete the shipping stuff. You know it's not like I just hire some random guy since this is a large number of keyboard with (relatively) high value so. Anyway, we had one will do it. The boxes now currently sit at our friend's office, who also have been out of town because he's on an Intel's event for PC modding, which took places some days ago and now they're on special trip after-event. Expecting him to come back in the next couple of days then we can proceed. Also, pear_voz will continue to handling more directly than I will since he's closer thus the timezone would be more appropriate to work on the matter.
Please I know this is unacceptable that the buy is way too long now, but please believe in us. This is a very unfortunate situation we have and I, as some one who just start to get into the market, is very frustrated right now, kinda panic. We will deliver our products as promised since there's no reason the product won't come to you, it's just a matter of bad luck keep happening. I have to work out everything remotely so things just not going as smooth as I thought it would be.
We're definitely moving forward as we're still keyboard lovers and still have many more things we want to do up our sleeves. We'll sort this out at our best for the moment.
Again this is beyond embarrassing, I'm deeply sorry everyone affected by the delay for the inconvenience, hope you understand the situation I am currently in. Please have faith in us that we're doing everything to deliver these buys.

"There was an issue, were working on it. Shipping will be delayed."
"Still working on the issue, no eta."
"Looks like another couple weeks to get them shipped out. Sorry guys, Ill keep you in the loop."
There's no reason at all that you or someone else couldn't have taken 2 minutes every couple days to let everyone know that there was a problem but it's being worked out.
I'm not angry, I'm just saying man.

Part of it is also I don't want/afraid to give updates that says "nothing really done yet" so.
Anyway, point taken, I'll keep everyone in the process more often.
Glad to here that things will start moving again, any chance you can give us ETA on shipping, I understand that you have to wait for other people to be available but give everything that has happened you must have an idea of when you expect everything to moving again.

Hi bazh, just a reminder that I've pm'ed you to confirm that you have my correct address and that my order was appropriately transferred (not reflected on the order sheet). Please check this for me when you get the chance! Have a nice holiday.

Hello bazh,
Hope you are doing well, any updates on shipping?
Post by: bazh on Thu, 09 February 2017, 01:34:01
The last few days I've been reevaluating the options since I still didn't feel like hand over the process to some one who's not much familiar with the GB concept and this forum. So I think I would ask for help for sorting and handling from people on here (and in the US). The idea is to ship the whole parcel with all of your case to the proxy so he can help me double check on the sorting and then shipping.I already in talk with Sherraton (Originative) about this and he agreed to help. I haven't asked Zeal (as the original planned proxy for the GB) yet because I felt like the extra work is just too much to ask for, dude has been awesome supporting us from the start. :D
If you're all ok with the new solution then I'll proceed. Then the shipping scene is:
- NA orders will pay parts of VN-US and US domestic shipping fee as planned before.
- non-NA orders will only pay from-US shipping fee, the VN-US fee of these orders are on us.
Please tell me your opinion on the matter, would you be okay with this, and would you be okay if we go with this with Sherraton?

Would the shipping price be higher? I'd rather go with whoever has the cheaper price for within the U.S. Also, if this was going to be a possibility, it would have been better to alert us sooner. I've had Zeal hold onto one of my shipments for many many months at this point in hopes of combining it with my lustro. That being said, I really appreciate the update--although do you have an estimated date for this to be shipped out?

If you're in the US, I doubt the change in shipping would be that much different, I ask for proxy in the US since this is where most of the orders are, the original plan was also to ship it to Zeal to proxy so it was pretty much the same.
The office is opened now so as soon as we're okay with this I'll proceed asap.

The other option available is to let pear_voz continue with the handling/shipping since he plan to come to our place next week and this time he'll be able to stay for a month (that's what I've been told). If we go this route then everything would proceed as first planned (Zeal NA proxy, non-NA order shipping from Vietnam)I'm also waiting on stuff from Zeal to save on shipping, but I'd rather just get it shipped to NA as soon as possible and eat the shipping costs. Since there isn't a dedicated person to handle things over there, better to just move it to avoid any further delays/issues.

I agree with Sifo, I also have stuff on hold with Zeal but given the current state of the GB I Just want to get it as soon as possible and it looks like Sherraton is the answer

Personally, I don't want to have pear_voz dealing with things again due to a lack of communication with us. Many of us sent him PMs regarding the status of this GB after he said they were shipped and still never got responses. Sherry has a lot of experience and at this point I feel better going with someone I trust. I have nothing against pear_voz as a person, but I want a trusted community member to deal with our orders.
Agreed. It's just kind of annoying for those of us that were going to have Zeal ship us other items.
Maybe Zeal can bulk ship to Sherry? Kind of adds more work on that end though =/

I'm in the same boat, have a zeal order that's been sitting waiting for this to come in.
I'm a little bit confused, I was under the impression that the boxes were all together and ready to go out to the post office. Not sure how flipping between Sherry or Zeal changes the need to get a box to the post office.
Post by: fancymans on Fri, 10 February 2017, 14:34:21
If Zeal would agree to help organize the bulk shipment, then I too would like to have things ship from him. But the choices are (correct me if I'm wrong):
- Keep things as is, pear_voz will (again) double check on sorting and ship to Zeal as a proxy who will handle US orders. Other orders shipped directly from Vietnam.
- Ship to Sherry who will double check on sorting and ship to both US and orders outside US.
Post by: bazh on Fri, 10 February 2017, 14:50:56
Many of you were hoping to LUSTRO this ship along with an order from Zeal, but I feel like that shouldn't influence who we choose to be a proxy for this order. It would have been great if things worked out as they should have, but they haven't. I strongly feel that if we choose to have pear_voz handle shipment again, things will not change. We shouldn't let the success of this GB ride on the cost of shipping from another vendor's order.

Yes this is the scenarios right now.
Please keep telling me what you think, I'm still listening to come up with the right solution for everyone, given how messy things are right now we might still have to compromise a little bit.

Here's 2 large box, one of which will go straight to Zeal. Other is for Sherry order and non-CONUS order.
I interpreted "will go straight to Zeal" as it was literally just a box that needed to be shipped. In that case the destination seems irrelevant.
If the option is to wait on pear_voz to sort or go through Sheraton, 110% we should go with the latter.

I don't mean to be pushy but we can make a decision already, things are just getting dragged out more and more with no clear idea of when things will ship out.
Some of us wanted things handle by Sherry because we though it would be shipped out immediately rather that waiting for pear_voz but as the days pass that's becoming irrelevant.

I have sent you yet another PM about the order transfer, that we have confirmed months ago, has not been updated on the order sheet.
I fear that it'll go to the incorrect address -- please correct it with my information, its order #4 (Gengarfan)
I pm'd sherryton but he told me there was nothing he could do because he is only handling shipping.
Please update this error when you can.

Hey Bahz got back to me last week~ and said that my address and order was ok on the private spreadsheet-- hopefully that is an indication that yours is correct on there as well, assuming that he confirmed the order transfer with you.

EU got theirs a long time ago so idk what the complication is for NA buyers.
Presumably similar issues to what CTRL ALT had
NA proxy got busy or forgot to ship them
except Sherryton hasn't received them yet, so it's moreso an issue with bazh not shipping out, or it being shipped by rowboat.

Also, they made a change to who the US proxy is. And the fact that pearvoz apparently didn't do anything when he was supposed to ship them to Zeal.

How is it possible for Bazh to still be active on reddit, but ignore GH? Also, can you give us a firm estimate for shipping that you can be held accountable for? We've been deceived two times already and I'm sure you can understand the frustration. On another note, thank you for letting us know you are taking over the project. This gives me more assurance that we will eventually get our keyboards.

The estimate shipping date would be 31/3. I hope I can make it faster so we can move on :D About Bazh's lacking communication, I can not talk for him but maybe he's got some problems :( btw, I really understand that you guys, our customer, don't want to be pissed off this time. Cheers!

Hi everyone, from now i will be the man who response for everything. Bazh was out of town for a while and he still not comeback so it's the reason he's not answer. Foggy is getting better and catching up with the work. Pear was assigned to work on the upcoming project. So the new shipping schedule will be the last day of this month, every order will be checked again and the process was done halfway. I will update everyday and answer your question asap, just send me a message. Thank you.
What was the point of the whole fiasco of switching between Zeal and Originative if we're still relying on pear?

Right now I'm in Hanoi with Pear to take over his previous work, then tomorrow night I will come to visit Foggy in HCMC and then you will have picture of Lustro, Weaven and timestamp and everything. As I said before, from now I will handle all of the shipping, packing, you guys can PM pear, bazh, foggy to discuss abt new products, technical problems or feedback abt what you like or what you don't like about the keyboard, what do you wanna change in the future...etc, but PM me if you want to know about tracking number, shipping or packing. Thank you!
I want to confirm if I still will be the one handling the shipping. Please send me a PM regarding this. Bazh hasn't gotten back to me and did not warn me that someone else will be shipping it.

Right, I agree that you shouldn't be responsible for any of the products until you get them.
However, what I meant to ask was if you can confirm whether or not Triviumtek has communicated with you directly about the shipping details, and whether or not you're still going to be the NA proxy if they arrive to you.

It's more about the lack of communication from the Triviumtek guys and us.
Thanks for posting more pictures. I think that makes us all feel a little bit better.

People are used to unexpected delays. What's stressful is when the group buy leader makes dubious statements about progress, doesn't answer questions, and then goes completely radio silent while ignoring contact as he is apparently active elsewhere online. Heck, even the guy you had tagged to handle US shipments didn't know what was happening.
I'm glad you're here with better support, but you don't instantly regain people's trust after months of poor communication.

Hi there, I'm from non-NA (Malaysia), should I be expecting shipment soon as well? Haven't kept up with this thread for some time now.Yes, your keyboard will be sent directly via Kerry Express or VNPost, I will get the quotation and comeback later tomorrow. Every orders doesn't come from NA will be shipped directly like Mr.Nickysan92. Thank you.

Hey guys, just a minor update.
I haven't gotten these in yet, but I am anticipating some delayed shipping times. Currently, we're working to push out the Sky Dolch and the TADA68's. We plan to ship out the lustro/weaven as soon as we fulfill all sky dolch and tada orders.

Do you guys know if you guys have made payment for shipping yet?
Either they send me the payments, or I can start collecting payments. I can start weighing items tomorrow.
If you want to add items from our store (for the cheaper/free shipping, let me know as well).
Post by: fancymans on Mon, 03 April 2017, 21:18:05
They are arriving tomorrow. I don't think bazh have collected shipment yet. I was going to make them do it, but it may be faster if I do it.

IIRC, shipping was not included in the original invoice. It needed to be calculated after the items were done and shipped to NA (so we still need invoices for them).

I think we'll be ok. I don't think Sherry is done yet; otherwise there would be an update on kbdist saying it has all been invoiced and shipped.

Got my board yesterday! Packaging was perfect, anodizing finish on the cyan is flawless, and the smokey acrylic came out great- 0 issues. Will post pics later, but rest assured your board will finally arrive and meet expectation ;DGood to hear. Mine should arrive sometime early next week. Post pics!

My assembled Lustro keyboard arrived today. There was only a single screw holding the PCB to the case. I'll try to post some pics once I scrounge up some screws and reassemble lol
My assembled board arrived today too. 2 screws were loose and fell out. I think the screw holes on the case are actually stripped... And I don't know what's wrong but it's definitely not working out of the box. Plugged it in and Windows says my device might be malfunctioning.
And that's not all, I'm also missing the extra stands I ordered. I'm going to PM Bazh and ask him about it. At this point I doubt it'll ever come, though. Think I'm gonna end up just selling this and cut my losses.

Damn, I'm sorry to hear that :(
I'm pretty sure it's a legit Winkeyless PCB so you might try posting on their forums (Hojin is incredibly responsive over there, and would probably be willing to help even though you didn't get it directly from him). And I'd try contacting Triviumtek Supporter as well about the missing stands, since Bazh has been MIA for quite some time.

Fingers crossed for a shipment or refund for the extra stands I guess.
As for the PCB, it's definitely a Winkeyless PCB. It flashes to bootloader and the LEDs all flash when I hold left control. I just can't for the life of me figure out why it's not working after I upload the keymap. I'll head over the the forums or something this coming weekend. I'm just tired from work and dealing with crap that I really I shouldn't need to.
Edit:
I fixed it. I think the issue was because it was set in PS2 mode when I was using USB? I clicked on "Set USB" and "Set Keyboard" in the options panel, re-flashed firmware and re-uploaded the keymap... and now it works. I guess randomly pressing things does work lol.

I'm really happy with how it looks and pleased that I stuck it out for the rest of this group buy. I hope everyone else's come to them safe and sound!
I had to get a dremel in order to remove the last two screws in the bottom of the case though.
Sorry for potato phone pictures.

Case itself feels pretty good. Inside is rough but that is not really a concern. There are a couple spots with very small imperfections in the acrylic, clear bubbles where the frosting is not present. They are noticeable, but they should be a non-issue once lit up. Order was missing switches, but hopefully I can get refunded for those.
My board is already assembled but I need to do a bit of work on the switches/plate, will show the final product when I'm done.

Case feels pretty solid when assembled. Anode on the stands is pretty nice, however there are noticeable imperfections. On all 4 of my stands there is a visible line (to varying degrees) on the top side of the stand, which I assume is from the anode. One of my stands has some inconsistencies on the outside surface, very slight blemishes (tried a quick clean but no-go). All my stands had bumpons which are very nice, however, they should not have been attached to the stands. If I were to re-anode (which I am considering) I will now have to get new ones. Same for the screws, I don't know why they were assembled in the case. Both should have been packaged separately.

Based on the pictures, those marks on the feet appear to be markings on the aluminum that were not polished off before anodizing, it wouldn't be from the anodizing process (assuming that's what you meant, since I think you're referring anodizing as 'anode') You would have to remove the ano, polish, and then refinish to get rid of it.
If you're planning to get it refinished, be prepared to pay a pretty penny..small batches are typically disproportionately expensive, especially for non-black/clear.

I'll have to check the places around me for quotes. I'm looking to get one refinished black, so hopefully the cost won't be too egregious. Or maybe someone wants to trade their black stand for an orange/gunmetal? ;) Thanks for the info. :thumb:

I assume this applies to other missing items as well. I also asked for weekly updates to be posted here so we don't get left in the dark like before in case it takes longer than "later next week".

FYI my order came assembled and the keys with stabilizers will get stuck when depressed (like enter and backspace). Stabilizers that don't get stuck will rattle like hell. I'm not going to waste my time fixing the crap stabilizers it came with so bear that in mind if you want to buy mine. Other than the stabilizers, the rest seems fine.

anyone still have any contact with these people? I'm still without my order and they have gone silent on me....after promising sending a replacement if my order didn't arrive to Oco.
Hate to say it, but your money is probably gone. They've clearly abandoned any remaining orders and issues and ran.

Hi there - I bought a Lustro from OC but the pcb I want to use is too deep for the short (3mm?) integrated standoffs, so I wanted to add my own standoffs. Do any of you folks know what size (M2? maybe) the screws that come with the case for attaching the pcb are?Yup PCB screws are usually M2.
Thanks!
