## Keycaps for TX1800 ##
I have prepared all parts for TX1800 for a long time.
All parts were ready(even packing box). but keycaps not yet.
But, today I heard a good news.
Korean keycap producer(=LYN3) can make keycaps for TX1800.
The keycaps are PBT dyesub, Cherry profiles, 105key set. (1800WKL 101keys + WK 4keys)
Colors of Letters are black, blue, orange and purple on white and gray bases.
The price of keycaps is $70 + $5(Hangul Letter) (the price for TX1800 buyer), $80 + $5(Hangul Letter) (the price for only keycaps buyer).
Here is 105keys layout example. (NOT Black doubleshot)
[attachimg=11]

DAMN, a custom 1800 is calling my name!
What's fantastic about this particular model is that the casing itself is entirely made from Aluminum, which in my books put's it way above any ordinary Kmac Keyboard :thumb: .

I can't believe I'm considering this. My god. But there's no switch, right? Could be deal breaker for me as I wouldn't know how to solder them. Thank goodness.
Find someone to assemble it for you!
Post by: kin25 on Wed, 04 February 2015, 20:20:39
I added PCB color option.
I've not used google form, next time I will try to learn that.
Housing is heavy and big, so shipping cost is high.

Have no fear, GON is here. I've gotten him to solder and manufacture my last two 1800's from a previous Group Buy done by RedLine, before they went bust here on Geekhack.
I would never bother soldering anything when I know I can get in touch with GON because he's a miracle worker when it comes to making a fully functional keyboard from scratch :thumb: .

I understand your thinking.
I'm new in GH, too.
But I'm old kbder in Korea.
Most of Korean kbders know me.
Many korean kbders come to my house and eat dinner together and talk about kbd all night long.
I'm not a cheater.
I'm a man who love kbds. The Real Kbdholic.
Once my wife said "You regard kbds as your daughters" when I moved my kbds in my car. because I drove very slowly not for damage on my kbds.
(I have two sons, I really want to have a daughter.)
My korean nickname is "KI-N25" (it means that I line up in your WTS, I want to buy yours.)
I enjoyed kbd for long time and I bought many kbds and parts. (more than 200 kbds, 30000 springs, 30000 switches, 60000 gap films and so on.)
I hope that all kbders can make his kbd easy way.(also cheaper price)
so I have designed led socket for the first time and made switch gap films for timesaving.
This GB is my first GB in GH.
I don't want to disappoint GHers.
300$ is much money. (I agree with you)
I made a lot proto kbds.
The factory raised factory price at last.
So I gave up making TX1800.
But I couldn't give up loving of 1800 kbd.
Also I couldn't raise the price to keep my word. (although friends advised to raise.)
Less than 50ea(total amount of kbdlab, GH and EC), I might even loss money.
(I expect at most 40. I must be a little poor.)
But I don't care about losing money Since I keep on making new kbds and parts for my happy kbd life.
Sorry for BAD English.
I just want you to trust me.
Thanks for reading my long kbd story.

OH lawd. Such a beautiful board! I didn't even know how much I needed this layout until I saw this board. The fact that none of the key cap sets I have on order support it is saving my wallet right now... I guess DSA Dolch could be a placeholder set.

Looks like the Del, End, PgDN will be 1 profile off with Scroll Lock being the correct profile.
I could be wrong but it looks like only three keys will be more difficult to find (you'd probably have to harvest a Cherry G80/81-1800 board for them)

There will be a few keys that are incorrect profiles, but IMO that's not the worst thing to happen. The definite deal breaker is lack of proper-sized keys (1u 0, short right shift, etc). Of course proper profile is important and may be a deal breaker for some, but you could at least put all the keys on the board. ;)

This GB is my first GB in GH.
I don't want to disappoint GHers.
300$ is much money. (I agree with you)
I made a lot proto kbds.
The factory raised factory price at last.
So I gave up making TX1800.
But I couldn't give up loving of 1800 kbd.
Also I couldn't raise the price to keep my word. (although friends advised to raise.)
Less than 50ea(total amount of kbdlab, GH and EC), I might even loss money.
(I expect at most 40. I must be a little poor.)
But I don't care about losing money Since I keep on making new kbds and parts for my happy kbd life.
What's not to like about this guy, a true Keyboard Fanatic and we need more such as him.
Looking forward to buying an 1800 off you and also to put it all together for me as well :thumb: .
Post by: JaccoW on Fri, 06 February 2015, 17:36:30
*sigh*... so the keyboard I've wanted for awhile has finally arisen... Why am I broke?Same here. :P
I will really have to mull this over because I expect some big expenses by the end of March that might drain my wallet around that time.

Post by: Belfong on Fri, 06 February 2015, 18:56:30
kin25, I appreciate your spending time explaining! Totally cool!i have all of kbd parts.(switch.spring.sticker.led.diode.resistor.stabilizers..etc)I'm new to GH, so I am not familiar with you, kin.. and it is not a cheap price you have here and with recent incidents, do you have anyone that could vouch? You seem to have good guys like Bunny, Elrick, yicao participating. Will be good for some seller feedback or something. On the other hand, I am still considering and not participating, so I shouldn't have said much :P
you can order together.
also assemble service is possible.
I understand your thinking.
I'm new in GH, too.
But I'm old kbder in Korea.
Most of Korean kbders know me.
Many korean kbders come to my house and eat dinner together and talk about kbd all night long.
I'm not a cheater.
I'm a man who love kbds. The Real Kbdholic.
Once my wife said "You regard kbds as your daughters" when I moved my kbds in my car. because I drove very slowly not for damage on my kbds.
(I have two sons, I really want to have a daughter.)
My korean nickname is "KI-N25" (it means that I line up in your WTS, I want to buy yours.)
I enjoyed kbd for long time and I bought many kbds and parts. (more than 200 kbds, 30000 springs, 30000 switches, 60000 gap films and so on.)
I hope that all kbders can make his kbd easy way.(also cheaper price)
so I have designed led socket for the first time and made switch gap films for timesaving.
This GB is my first GB in GH.
I don't want to disappoint GHers.

Sorry for BAD English.
I just want you to trust me.
Thanks for reading my long kbd story.

I suppose the only reason between Alu and Stainless is the weight, right? I like my keyboard heavy, so it will be Stainless Steel for me. But man.... The cost!Sus plate is more reflective, alu has a sparkly finish. But the main difference is the weight as you've mention and also the rigidity. The sus plate in my duck viper is solid as hell. But I much prefer softer key feel of an alu plate. Hence the indecision.

By the time this board is done, it's going to be about 10 pounds. Great to use as a blunt weapon against home invasions!
If someone tries to shoot you with a Glock this baby will deflect the bullets easily :p .
About time we have a keyboard as heavy as this, no one messes with a Geekhacker hauling his TX1800 about 8) .

So true, this is the PERFECT 1800 layout without peers. Heavy construction which you don't get these days from anyone except GON or Redline so this is the right time to update to a keyboard that will display your GMK's perfectly.
This 1800 version is extremely rare so if you can scrape some moolah together, better do it before February 28th, otherwise you shall be condemned in forever using boring old Filco's, Leopold's and Razer Keyboards 8) .

I would imagine so since he factored paypal fees into his pricing on the first page, and the difference there is their fees for goods purchases. But I'm sure he'll respond back soon to clarify.

I admit the layout is unique. Love the fact that there is Numpad and arrow keys and yet it is a TKL size. Is that why it is so attractive?

This is a super hard one to pass up... I've been following it since the IC on the korean site. I may be new but even I can tell this TX1800 is a special one...
thank you..
1800 was my first kbd customized.
at that time i fell in love with 1800.
so i bought all 1800 in the market.
in my kbd room there are more than twenty 1800.
1800 is not popular.
so i hope that tx1800 make 1800 lovers satisfied.

Is the Leeku 1800 PCB only winkeyless or are other pcb layout options supported as well? And what layout options are supported by the plate? Can you also provide links to the firmware and it's configuration options, I haven't found anything yet.
you can see the pictures.
like black keycaps
1.25/1.25/1.25/6/1.5/1.5. winkey
like dolch keycaps
1.5/1.5/7/1.5/1.5. winkeyless
you don't need firmware up.
Leeku already do firmware up and keymapping.
Post by: xauser on Sun, 08 February 2015, 04:55:24
And about the firmware, is it possible to remap keys, have media keys or even different layers?

Thanks, I missed that the photos already show the different pcb layout options.
And about the firmware, is it possible to remap keys, have media keys or even different layers?
Now remap is impossible, macro is possilble.
IF Leeku will not be busy, he can make remap program.
But theseday he looks very busy.
I'm sorry, I can't guarantee now.

Kin, while I really like the TX1800, I'm kinda not liking the N C S engraved on top of the alu case.
Would it be possible to get a case without the N C S engraved? If so, you can count me in for an order.
i understand you.
so..
i will ask the factory..
i think it's not hard..
Have you heard back from the factory about making TX1800 without N C S? Would be nice to know, thank you!

Hi Ki, would you please tell us what the angle of the keyboard is?
Sorry for late reply.
The Angle is 9-degree.

Can we choose the color of the Leeku 3000 pcb, and the material of the plate?
pcb color option (red.white.green)
plate option (SUS. silver ALuminium)

Would the Hack's by Geeks contoured SA fits nicely on this?

With this 1800 keyboard BEST to keep it original by purchasing some Authentic Cherry Profiled GMK key-sets. That is the ONLY way to truly praise perfection with it's own ready-made key-set, that was used all those years ago in Germany.
Just keep it real and you'll have a keyboard worth keeping for decades ahead :thumb: .

Now you're making me to think again; Hyperfuse GMK or the Hack'd by Geeks. I can't afford both. :-X
I lean more towards Hack'd because I love spherical tops more.

Personally went for BOTH because they're worth the money since they are very different to one another, yet they stand out immediately when installed into their desired keyboard :thumb: .

Thank you for being so clear and prompt! :thumb:
generally, 1.3k(for red, yellow)/910(for blue, green)/820(for white, pink)
thesedays... Users like low ohm.
Use low ohm to make LED lighter.

Any reason the "S" in N C S looks kind of strange? Very weird proportions with a nubby end at the bottom of the S. The top of the S is a lot larger than the bottom, and it the shape gets more narrow as you look down.
Will this be corrected in the final product?
As someone mentioned earlier, I think I would like to order without any letters there if the factory lets you decide. Maybe I am being too picky? :-X

Will this be corrected in the final product?
As someone mentioned earlier, I think I would like to order without any letters there if the factory lets you decide. Maybe I am being too picky? :-X
Didn't notice that until now...looks like a backwards 2 with a nub lol

I have prepared all parts for TX1800 for a long time.
All parts were ready. but keycaps not yet.
But, today I heard a good news.
Korean keycap producer(=LIN3) can make keycaps for TX1800.
The keycaps are dyesub PBT, Cherry profiles, 105key set. (1800winkeyless + winkey)
Colors of Letters are black, blue, orange and purple.(4color)
The price of keycaps is $70 (for TX1800 buyer), $80 (for only keycaps buyer).

If I am interested in only the keycaps, would they be able to ship earlier? It sounds like they would be finished earlier but waiting until the rest of the keyboard is ready in April, however I just want the keycaps! :) Thanks kin25

Overall I've seen only positive reviews, and despite his first keycap design, there's remarkably few flaws.
It was so well-received he's moved on to the multi-color legends right away.
One issue I know is the spacebar being a bit bent for some, but apparently you can straighten it out with hot water/ hair dryer etc.
This issue may not even be present in the updated sets, because he said he would fix it.
Cherry profile, PBT, super thick, dye-subbed. Said to be a very soft texture (softer than HHKB PBT), caps lock not compatible with Filco stem position (but you can use right short shift for the caps lock).
I will write up a review when I do receive them! ;)

That's good to hear! I'm still hoping that Hyperfuse is going to get the extra 1u "+" key for this layout, but if it doesn't then I'm glad that we can get a high-quality set with the order. :D

Sweet Geezus, a complete PBT key-set for our TX1800 keyboard?
Doesn't get better than this, to completely fill out our 1800 keyboards with a Cherry PBT set with all the appropriate profiles, this is RARE as hens teeth :o :o :o :o .
I'm in with this because it's the first time an all PBT set has been offered like this which means no more scavenging off Ebay for suitable 1800 key-sets for my Winkey Layout :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: .

Yeah I think those caps would look phenomenal with an original Cherry housing as well!
Ki, do you know if the Plate and PCB combo would be compatible with a G81-1800 housing? I only have a G81-1800 and not a G80-1800 so I'm not sure if they are the same. (I know this has been asked before but I don't think anyone gave a definitive answer)

you can use pcb and plate on original housing (g81 or g80)
but
you must cut the housing a little.
it's not hard to cut.

I took some Proto keycaps from Lyn3.
These are just Proto... so the quality is not the best.
He is trying to increase the quality.
I think the quality is getting better.
(Numpad keycaps were not printed yet.)

Damn it. It was hard enough just thinking about buying a keyboard. Those caps look fantastic.
This is the FIRST individual here on Geekhack to offer a complete 1800 based keyboard with all the PBT keys supplied as well :o .
Doesn't get any better than this people :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: .

Wow. I really wish I had the funds to buy this, but I'm still recovering from my Model F restoration that went way over budget. gah.Go for the budget option and order just the plate and PCB and use the case of an G81-1800. It's not often you can get your hands on a backlit 1800 board. ;)

If anyone is just buying caps and not the board I will buy your short shift if you don't need it.
Doesn't OP say you can buy just the caps at a slightly higher price than GB with the keyboard price?

Just to straighten this out. Mimic Cables is a company owned by tjcaustin. Mimic cables or mimic is not making an HHKB case. Mistakemistake sold Mimic to TJ. His new ST Designs or mistakemistake's work is separate from mimic.
AFAIK, the second HHKB project isn't ready to be unveiled yet. Perhaps there's a 3rd HHKB top in the works that I don't know about but I will let the owner of the project I do know about step forward and reveal the information when they feel comfortable to do so.

Hope everything is covered, if not please flag me as soon as possible. Remember you have to build this keyboard for me because you are dealing with a COMPLETE, inept, moronic individual who can barely breathe on his own without a detailed visual description, showing me how to do it :thumb: .

Hei kin, there're some thing I want to ask before putting my order in:Do you like bright LED? so You have to use low ohm resistors. (general 820ohm)

Old Black = Vintage Black (I use WYSE)

Yeah the pressure that is felt within my jeans is somewhat amazing. I have trouble walking in a straight line because some of the others here feel I am attracted to them due to the huge bulge that's growing due to this Group Buy.
Currently have to release the tension before coming back, which is a first because the Mrs is expecting me to unleash upon her especially when we get back home but now I'll be drained completely but I'm sure once I see a few more TX1800 photos it'll be back again, that very tight feeling ;) .

$4.37 is the Paypal fee.

one more question kin: what is the amount of the deposit (or the 1st payment) supposed to be, does it have a certain amount of the total order like some % or what?Based on what he told me, it's $104.37. This is for ordering of the TX1800 set though.
$4.37 is the Paypal fee.
it's not %.
deposit of housing buyer is $100+paypal fee.
deposit of other parts buyer is around 30%.

I just got an OG Dolch keyset for this board... I can't wait to put it on my precious TX1800.
Smart boy, already planning his perfect set-up with the ORIGINAL supreme key-set built for this style of keyboard :thumb: .
You've certainly come a long way from extreme Geekhack newbie to a sophisticated Keyboard Aficionado.

Kin25 you have to understand the fundamental fact here that on Geekhack Central the Cherry 1800 Series is absolutely WORSHIPED and cherished beyond any normal keyboard 8) .
So you have to treat us with certainty meaning that through this whole process you provide photo's and details on how this Group Buy is going, the ONLY other Korean person we all absolutely trust is GON, hence you need to build up the assurance like he has done here on this forum but it took him a long time to become one of the most important people inside Geekhack's circle of TRUST :thumb: .
Don't ever be like DrugER whilst taking all the money in the beginning of a Group Buy then going all silent later on with only a few excuses to publish along the way, trying to wriggle out of his responsibilities. Because you are a NEW person here on Geekhack we all decided to go with faith regarding your abilities to deliver on this Group Buy, so we'll eventually see if it's worth it.

Kind of a dumb question, but in case the keycaps are strictly for the tx1800.... Will the keycap set include a 2.25 R-Shift?
The keycaps will be made for tx1800 layout. (WKL or WK).
Lyn3 is making 1800 sample keycaps set.
soon I will show.

no, 2.75 Right Shift is not included
1.75 Right Shift will be included.

The BEST gift of all (for myself) is receiving a fully assembled and completed keyboard by kin25, with a new set of dye-subs added :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: .
That is basically all that I could ever hope for and looking forward to seeing it soon in a month or two or maybe even three.

When I get pcb and plate, I will start assembling.
I will try to make quickly.

You can do mine last if you like simply because I can wait for mine. Others may not be so accommodating when it comes to receiving their keyboards + parts.
Just want you to take your time when assembling the switches to the pcb with solid soldering and perfect placement upon the keyboard surface area. Not saying you won't but hoping that Korean Perfection shines through on these keyboards because you lot have garnered so many accolades and prizes when it comes to making PERFECT Cherry-styled Keyboards.

I'm confused here.. has the deadline passed for everything in this GB or just a payment for the full kits? I'm potentially interested in some keycaps only.
but... there is a room for you. :)

Would it be possible to have a ISO layout with the TX1800, or only ANSI? :)
Only ANSI layout. PCB is ANSI layout... :( sorry.

If i may change to ANSI, or even use both i will ask you again if there should be some left. :)

What is the size/length/type of the screws that will be used for it? I'm about to order some screws, and I want to order some extra ones for the TX1800 for backup, please let me know!

Hi Hi,
Got a question about the housing:
What is the size/length/type of the screws that will be used for it? I'm about to order some screws, and I want to order some extra ones for the TX1800 for backup, please let me know!
m3 6mm round head (i don't know exactly what it is called in English).
but..
you don't need to buy.
i will send enough extra bolts.
it's not expensive..
if you need.. just send email to me.

spring, top, slider and bottom are seperated and cleaned.
generally springs are useless.
seperated parts are easier to lubricate, change springs and put into gap films.

They are Black and Dark Grey.
I was a little busy.
so I checked around and took some pictures.
NCS Letters are changed.
Outside chamfer become rounded.
Overall, I am satisfied with the quality.
BUT... :-X
1) The color of dark grey is different from last proto. so I will give the color sample to the factory. It will be fixed.
2) Anodizing quality is not the best. I will try to increase the quality.
3) Shipping day shall be pushed back by a week.
This Week...
Leeku 1800 PCB shall arrive.
Lyn3's PBT keycaps sample shall arrive.
I will prepare switches (desolder, seperate, clean, dry... hard working ;D)

Oh DAMN, the BEST posting thus far, 1800 heaven bestowed upon me like this, have to stay seated at my desk for at least 20 minutes before I attempt getting up 8) .
Pray no one wants anything to be sorted at the workshop because this could be embarrassing in so many ways, here at my work site.
Kin25 always strive for perfection because GON is absolutely addicted to making every keyboard as brilliant as possible so no one can fault his mastery of keyboard manufacturing, much like you I hope.

The QC stress was started.
But It can't make me hard. :)
I just enjoy and do my work.
For last two weeks, I was busy to assemble LZ-REs.
Chinese friends of mine asked to assemble their REs.
I assembled five REs for 2 weeks.
(My hands work very slowly, I need more hands :) )
It is finished..
So i can concentrate on tx1800.
In this week.. I have to solder 1800pcb.
I have to desolder switches and clean them.
It will take much times. And it makes me busy.
I promise that i will often come to this GB and post a news.

With my orders please TAKE YOUR TIME 8) .
Happy to receive them when ever you can finish this year. I will never bother and harass you to finish anything for me quickly, just enjoy the process of making because you'll have someone who will truly treasure your work forever.
Would rather have a keyboard built with love than another one done to time and rushed out the door quickly. GON suffers from goons at his site demanding him to send them their keyboards almost immediately because most will not wait six to nine months for their keyboards.

You need to lay off the KY jelly sunshine because too much use of it here is not good for certain apertures ;) .
Normally I would cheer on your enthusiasm but we here are serious keyboard collectors and users of fine input devices. Besides you should of ordered a nice BIG Black Coloured Keyboard like I did for some serious hardcore action because you know that famous saying once you go Black there is no turning back :thumb: .

the heavier the better... thanks for keeping us updated kin, a lot of the other GB threads seem to go insane as soon as OP stops posting or is gone for more then 24 hours... i really appreciate the hands on approach.
thanks for your mention.
waiting for arrival of yours can be exciting or boring.
I don't want you to be bored.
so.. I keep updating something happened (even small news).
I think that GB is very unfair. (in every keyboard communities)
The Seller >>>>> The Buyers.
Why? It's not fair.
You have a right to ask to ME.
I'm ready to listen to your demand.
(PLZ don't ask something huge... like saving the world... ) :)

It's always exciting when a fellow 1800 zealot gives us all an opportunity to own something so unique as this type of keyboard :thumb: .
I do not envy your position in extracting 1000's of CherryMX keys, then cleaning and lubing each one. That alone would require someone who has nerves of steel and the patience of a saint.
Whatever you do take your time and approach the work with complete assurance that NO ONE HERE will be forcing you to finish their keyboard in time. Everyone here appreciates the enormous effort it takes to build new keyboards from scratch and assembling switches to finish them.
Have complete faith in you to do us justice in supplying EVERY hardcore 1800 lover their dream example of a customized keyboard. Thank you for doing this :thumb: .

And rinse many times..
After rinsing.. I clean them in the ultrasonic cleaner.
And I rinse again.
My wife said "Water is more expensive than switches" :)
And one of korean kbder find new detergent.
It is very effective for removing dust.
No bubbles..
I sometimes use it when there is much dust in the switches.

PB1? What is it?
Post by: kin25 on Fri, 27 March 2015, 21:52:39
PB1? What is it?
I don't know exact name in English.
PB1 is strong alkaline detergent used for removing oil stain in factory.
It has to be dilute with water.

I'm not sure you mean alkaline, but maybe anionic? Anionic detergents are great for oils, dirt and other grime. A popular industrial anionic detergent in the USA is Liquinox, and it would probably be excellent for this purpose. I use it to clean my vinyl LPs.

Just be sure to rinse after with deionized/distilled water. There is the possibility for some absorbtion by the plasticizers in the material.

What kind of LP should I use? Where is it sold?
LPs are this:

For cleaning plastics you want a detergent like this:
(http://alconoxfoodservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/liquinox_cleaner-wpcf_280x439.jpg)
but just be sure to follow the directions exactly. The effectiveness is highly sensitive to having the right dilution.

It is useful to make removable cable with stock 1800 and 3000 housing.
I also bought cable (pcb2pcb 4line) and headerpin... but they don't arrive yet.
My Gift for only PCB&PLATE buyer is
1) usb mini connector and this small pcb
2) pcb to pcb 4 line cable
3) a couple of 4pin headerpin.
It's very cheap. but it is not easy to buy. ;D

Today, I received these parts from beastmask. (He sent to me free of charge. thanks for beastmask)That is sweet Kin. Much easier indeed. :)
I wanted to send it only PCB&PLATE buyers.
It is useful to make removable cable with stock 1800 and 3000 housing.
I also bought cable (pcb2pcb 4line) and headerpin... but they don't arrive yet.
My Gift for only PCB&PLATE buyer is
1) usb mini connector and this small pcb
2) pcb to pcb 4 line cable
3) a couple of 4pin headerpin.
It's very cheap. but it is not easy to buy. ;D

wow these are the nicest switchtop removers I've seen
Post by: kin25 on Wed, 08 April 2015, 14:14:11
wow these are the nicest switchtop removers I've seenI don't know who made it first.
Some koreans have made it.
The price was around $10~$16.
I thought it was very expensive.
so I want to make it by myself.
Now I think it was not expensive.
Making is not easy and it takes long time.
I am selling Switch Opener $6(a pair of them).
It's my mistake to fix the price $6.
But, I don't regret.
My tools will be used well and easily, it will make me happy.
Today, I take a rest and design a new housing.
Keyboard inspire me and stir up my deep creativity.

That's what happens when you love something so much, Kinnie will do it despite it costing him heaps of his own time and money.
Please make sure you align the costs correctly because this current exercise could end up costing you heaps out of your own pockets. Know you want to share this love for the TX1800 series keyboard but at what cost to you?
I'm no keyboard designer/manufacturer but I work at a place that repairs and maintains fleets of huge vehicles and we can not afford to undercut our workers or facilities when providing a 24/7 service, neither should you.
Because you have spent so much time already on this take a deserved break from this since this is the only way to recover from such a punishing schedule you've set for yourself.

Suspect shelving which is tilted towards the front so you could see what each keyboard looks like plus the use of extra storage boxes and cabinets to store those keyboards not needed to present for this week's patronage :thumb: .
200 is not a lot, try when it's 500 plus, then it might get a little tight for storage around his property 8) .

I am making TX1800 more than GB order.
You will be able to get it. ( sooner rather than later )
I plan to make many layout keyboards. (60%, 75%, 87%, 110%, keypad)
Next GB will be TX87(cherry and alps)
TX87 is waiting its PCB.
TX87 is not cheap because of its angle.
So plat 87 will be made after tx87. (cheap price)

Here on Geekhack there is ONLY one rule of law concerning the design and manufacture of any type of keyboard it has to be PERFECT QUALITY :thumb: .
No short-cuts, no substitutions or fake swap-stitutes (my word) and of course the Korean Way of offering superior items than Japanese made equivalent keyboards. I would be extremely happy if these TX1800's become the hallmark of South Korean manufacturing that will let the world know of what you guys can really do.

Any new updates, it's been a few days? Any idea when the second invoices will start going out so I can plan my expenses?
I'm sorry for late update.
QC is a hard working.
In general light the housing looks good.
But in sunshine the housing looks not equal color.
(only bottom side)
The middle of bottom looks a little shiny.
Because of cutting direction and cutter of milling machine.
So.. I asked to fix it.
It will take a week to fix it.
---------------------------------
A little good news.
I received memory foam sheet today. (5T)
I could nt find it in the market.
So I ordered the factory to make it.
It's not expensive. :)

Due to the thickness of the foam (or there lack of) the smell applies to low quality foam made from unstable chemicals. Usually 'smelly' foam pertains to poorly made stuff in huge thicknesses that will fill a room with that noxious odour.
The good stuff never smells even when it's stored for decades in the roof space of homes, here in Convict Town :thumb: .

Suppose this would be a question for Kin25 here,
Why have you chosen a sheet of foam instead of a sheet of silicone?
The silicone is extremely flexible and long lasting for decades plus it's a great insulator which would help the pcb from ever contacting the back plate of the housing.
Being a complete newb to keyboard construction just would like to know your preference for foam being used here.

A little good news.
I received memory foam sheet today. (5T)
I could nt find it in the market.
So I ordered the factory to make it.
It's not expensive. :)
It is a little gift for tx1800 buyer.
I have to cut it. :)

Suppose this would be a question for Kin25 here,
Why have you chosen a sheet of foam instead of a sheet of silicone?
The silicone is extremely flexible and long lasting for decades plus it's a great insulator which would help the pcb from ever contacting the back plate of the housing.
Being a complete newb to keyboard construction just would like to know your preference for foam being used here.
For absorption of noise by memory foam.
I have used silicon sheet.
But it was not effective.
Memory foam is more effective.. I think.. :)

If it was made bad quality. Making again would be difficult.
And it is available at extra cost
Also it makes me a little difficult.

Special order involves some risk
If it was made bad quality. Making again would be difficult.

Also it makes me a little difficult.
Only GON offers customized colours and then the Manufacturer stuffs up the application and colour tone so easily.
In fact for GON he has to keep returning back to the maker so it could be re-done again, heaps of time is lost plus extra costs incurred will make the customer extremely agro as evidenced in GON's own vendor forum. Do not envy his suffering and anguish when it comes to making various people's keyboards especially when you are indeed a perfectionist.
Glad Kinnie has at least stuck to ONLY three colours otherwise he shall suffer that same type of torment, over 50 keyboards or more (death of a thousand cuts) ::) .

Hot pink is special order.
Holy crap that hot pink is hot as crap! So freaking beautiful <3 I'd liked to have got in on a special order but am not complaining in any way as the 3 colors offered are much more classic.

Sorry to be so ignorant here regarding this Group Buy, didn't you say that the foam is provided for all TX1800 purchases or do we need to pay extra for these foam sheets?
If so, then please include one for me and one for Bunny as well :thumb: .

Foam is inserted below pcb for reduction of noise.

Yeah you put it underneath the pcb and it's gonna provide some cushion and fill up the empty space.
Works real well for reducing 'hollow' sound when typing.

Generally you have heard no foam sound.
So.. Strange sound might be the sound of using foam.
How about the sound? Good or Bad?
I let you know which is used foam after one day.

Hey Kin25, you are a teacher hence your job will always come first before our keyboards. Make sure everything is completed before commencing on our keyboards, your job pays the bills hence concentrate on that and then finish what you can with our TX1800's.
I've seen people here lose their jobs because of running Group Buys that drove them insane with pressure and ridicule from this place, I'm sure you've got experience when dealing with unruly teenagers so this may be fortunate for you here on Geekhack.
Just get everything completed at your professional position first then eventually progress onto our orders.

Kinne, so glad everything has progressed, not worried about the casings because every manufacturer stuffs it up due to misunderstanding tolerances or what not.
Very happy to wait because in the long run it means the keyboards are then PERFECT which everyone wants here on Geekhack, no one wants a damaged or misfitting keyboard casing for them to use. Get it done right because your name will go into these TX1800's hence you have to be a lot like GON when checking and re-checking quality and finish for each keyboard that's produced by you.

Most vendors want the bad parts back to recoup some cost from the scrap, and to make sure you're not trying to rip them off for extra pieces.

Sounds legit to me.
I was wondering if it was a "scratch and dent" scenario.
Given that its aluminum and easily recycled, sending it back to be recast makes sense.

When you consider that Kin25 is not charging for time spent and lost on the re-making of casings, due to manufactured errors plus waiting for those corrections, this is STILL a very cheap all aluminum 1800 styled case.

But red is good enough.
I made 4 pink and 5 red to check anodizing quality.
I will send them to factory and change 9 red or more.
If you want red one.. Just let me know..
(there is a chance to chage color)
I have no plan to make pink tx1800.
Anodizing problems are hard to fix and make me crazy.
For tx87.. I plan to make various colors.
I'm looking for other method.

Suspect Kin25 is busy working on all 50 keyboards SO everything regarding "REGULAR" forum posts has to be suspended. Otherwise spending time here on Geekhack can cause a time rift which slips on by without anyone noticing it, until they look at their watches.
Would rather hear nothing from him until he actually finishes everyone's keyboards, then you'll watch everyone's panties drop at the sight of these new creations 8) .

Same here, for a crusty old mollusc such as myself, the wait is sometimes unbearable so I know your feelings well, especially since it's your first time being involved with a Group Buy.
Like all Virgins you need to take a deep breath and expect something huge and wondrous to invade your inner sanctum, your holy of holies, your last frontier because after this Group Buy - you shall never be the same again :thumb: .

One month ago...
Tx1800 were made..
But I found some scratches.
So I told the factory to made new again.
(I paid for scatched housing all with 75% price, I didn't want fix them)
The factory tried to find cause of error.
They changed material and fixed.
Tx1800 housing are in the anodizing factory.
Next week the housing will be made.
And.. I will check them carefully.
If there is no problem.
I will start shipping.
In korea.. May is family month.
I had more time with family.
I leased warehouse and moved my keyboards
(not finished.. too many to move)
I lost some parts.. And I ordered to make again. :(
When I was free..
I prepared some parts for tx1800.
Oh.. Tx87 pcb was made also.
But I have no time to test. :(
I opened JT leycaps GB in Korea for chinese friend.
It was finished.(It was not difficult)
And..
Lin3 is making keycaps.
He changed print and film to improve quality.
So it took many times.
I didn't know that housing GB was very difficult.
Many things made trouble and it took a lot of times.
Thank you for waiting for a long time.

Every Group Buy happens across problems and whatnot because that is LIFE :thumb: .
Nothing ever goes to plan since things shall occur beyond your control hence don't fret.
Just proceed at your own pace because making a keyboard from scratch is not an easy task and I've been through heaps waiting for my keyboards to be built so I know the misery and effort involved here. Make sure everything is nice with your family because a man with no family is a man truly alone in this cold, cruel world.
Thanks for keeping in touch with us here on Geekhack :) .

Thanks for the tutorial Ki, I wouldn't be able to do it as easily if you didn't post that.

I used general paper knife.
ABS housing is soft.
So it is easy to cut.
But be careful not to hurt.

This is one of the group buys I am happy that I participated and am part of it! I love how it gets better and better, and I like all the updates and new features.
It's especially GREAT due to it being designed and fully Constructed in South Korea :thumb: .
Every time you buy a "Made in Korea" Keyboard it's the very best out there, and this one is a 100% aluminum bodied beauty, that shall bring tears of jealousy to Thorpie Lovers everywhere on this planet 8) .

Consider this as a buyer review, he does not disappoint at all!
It takes a while to deliver but boy it's worth it, don't worry this is not one of the TX1800, it's a TX3000 with some other stuff
but trust me, your waiting period will be paid well!

No worries for me, I waited for my keyboards from GON so I know what that entails. For perfection the ONLY penalty is the waiting which is required especially when they finally arrive to your front door.
Kin25, just take your time because I know it shall be the absolute BEST 1800 keyboard that was ever made thus far :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: .
Post by: kin25 on Fri, 03 July 2015, 20:50:18
Thanks for waiting.
But.. I have a trouble to control quality.
Factory made scratches again.
He said to me that he can't fix any more.
So.. I give you some choices.
(1) good quality housing.$300
(2) some scratched housing. $225
(3) Refund.
You can change and save the money.
(of course I will reduce loss)
Please let me know... If you want to change..
Post by: daviswalkers on Fri, 03 July 2015, 20:52:33
1. Is there an option for red (good/okay quality?)
2. Will we know where the scratches are located prior to choice? Like if they're on the bottom side I wouldn't be upset but if they're on top it's not worth the savings to me.
Thanks!
Post by: kin25 on Fri, 03 July 2015, 21:04:39
I recently switched to a red one, you said there was a limited amount of those, with that in mind a few questions:
1. Is there an option for red (good/okay quality?)
2. Will we know where the scratches are located prior to choice? Like if they're on the bottom side I wouldn't be upset but if they're on top it's not worth the savings to me.
Thanks!
I made 10 red housing again.
(good quality.. But I have to insert the helicoil in the hole)
Gray and silver...
The scraches are on the side.. 3~5 point.
The top looks good.
Post by: daviswalkers on Fri, 03 July 2015, 21:07:15
Sorry that's a big confusing basically:
If you aren't taking a loss on the scratched I'll take a red scratched.
If you are taking a loss I'll stick to a non scratched red.

Yeah sure I'll take a scratched red one then if ya don't mind, I've made a few purchases recently so any savings really help me out. Unless you're still having to pay the same for them off the manufacterer I don't want you to take a loss. If that is the case I'll go for a non-scratched red for 300.
Sorry that's a big confusing basically:
If you aren't taking a loss on the scratched I'll take a red scratched.
If you are taking a loss I'll stick to a non scratched red.
I just reread your reply and I think I originally misunderstood you. You only have "good quality" red ones correct? Meaning if I got a red it's got no scratches and is 300 by default? If that's the case that's perfectly fine by me and I'll just leave things as they are!
Thanks!

That is why I'm with this guy because he's honest and always gets to the point regarding this Group Buy.
Sorry you had been abused with the incompetencies of the manufacturer here because this is all their fault from the beginning. You had done everything to make this happen for us and we appreciate it beyond words.
Most dodgy Group Buy organizers would ignore anyone's posting until everything is shipped then they quietly disappear from this forum or change their names hoping to carry out another failed Group Buy, have personally witnessed some nasty pieces of work regarding the taking of money and failing to deliver anything at all.
You stand way ahead of those type of scumbags who deserve the hatred and mistrust but not you because you have always kept in touch and always posted info along the way, which is a lot more than most would do here on Geekhack. Your only problem here is that you are too honest in your character and the idealism you hold when it comes to dealing with horrible manufacturers. I would always like to deal with someone who pushes the envelop in producing the goods despite being crippled by outside influences.
Kin25 you have been fantastic throughout this process and look forward to dealing with you again when you announce the new TKL model, but one word of advice - please find another manufacturer for these keyboard casings and someone who knows about proper anodizing with a high quality finish 8) .

No probs, because these keycaps are for the 1800 layout ONLY then you can understand that it shall take some time to finish. Dye-subs aren't as quick as plastic injection molding, which is completed in one hit and ejected out of the mold ready for shipment.
This 1800 legend is about to be born hence like expectant fathers, we all huddle around the waiting room waiting for our babies to arrive ;D .

Kin, I know you might be running late with this GB due to personal reasons. If it would help in any way, I am ready to pay for the rest of my order. Your hard work has earned my trust completely, there is no need to wait any longer to send me an invoice. I'm sure other members feel the same. This is just a suggestion. My only goal is to help you and the GB. I have no desire to get my TX1800 before anyone else.
Let us know. I hope your boy and family are doing well.

kin, while I didn't join this GB, I felt like I should compliment you on your work ethics. All these updates are amazing, it's really fun to see how this is coming together!Thank you.
This is my first groupbuy in GH.
I think I must have reponsibility.
Generally GB opener reports process of progress in Korea.
It relieves participants anxiety.
Also it makes GB opener reduce the stress.
The communication make all satisfied.
I spend a little time a day to post these news.
I was just starting to be more attentive at the GH community when the TX1800 GB started.
I was a bit scared to join this GB, or any GB, to be fair.
But now, looking at all the messages, the very open way that you have been communicating updates, news and the general happiness present on this GB, I feel very confident that all your future group buys will be exemplary.
Sadly, I was too scared to join the TX1800 GB and I now regret this decision,ery well said; I couldn't agree more. but I'll patiently wait your next GB. in the future.
Very well said; I couldn't agree more.
The more pics I see, the more impressed I become with the craftsmanship and attention to detail. I am very disappointed that I missed the opportunity to at least get a PCB and plate, in order to update one of my 1800 boards. Hopefully there will be a Round 2 at some point.
GREAT JOB Kin! Keep up the good work.

You still need to collect the rest of the payment, right? Will you do that before or after shipping?
Also, if I need to change my shipping address should I do that now or will you confirm addresses with us before shipping?

Hey kin, any chance of picking up one of the keycap sets? I PM'd you a bit ago but with everything going on in your life, I didn't want to keep bothering you. :(
There is a shop or group buy which will have LYNs keycap sets too: http://KBDcraft.com (http://KBDcraft.com)

Hey so what's happening with this? I'm Interested in a case(1800) even without a pcb, don't care if it's scratched(I can redo the brushed finish if i want anyway) if anyone was looking to offload or if there are extras? Just found out about this keyboard format/GB so I'm sorry if what I'm asking has already been answered.
Just send a polite PM to Kin25 requesting this unique keyboard and see what he says.
Only pester everyone in this Group Buy if Kin is totally out of them, even then do expect to be royally-raped - because this is after all Geekhack, the home of persistent Wallet Gangbangs that never end ;) .

What Elrick says, with one point of clarification: while this is a great keyboard it is almost certainly not the last custom 1800 we'll see come up for a group buy. In fact, there's one running right now that's Asia-local-only, but I believe it will eventually will be opened up for international orders. http://deskthority.net/keyboards-f2/here-s-my-new-and-1st-custom-keyboard-for-gb-t10849.html

Praise the LORD, because he has sent his keyboard down to earth, for us heathens to obey and worship.
The TX1800 is the BEST keyboard ever made, this one will be a Kmac slaughterer, even dare I say it - a 55g RF Killer, definitely the ONLY keyboard to own .........forever.

I did not mean active on the forum, but GH worded it to be that way and I took it literally. :p
It's better to refer to it as 'last seen'.

Kin25 is now in the same position as GON, meaning that he is all by himself piecing together hundreds of TX1800 keyboards, hence do expect no more time wasting here on Geekhack. Not because he is lazy or being nasty but when you see an ocean of PCBs, Casings and Switches to solder and turn out all those keyboards to a high standard, then there is no time left except to go to the toilet, feed yourself and ignore your kids until all of this is finished. We literally stole their Dad from them for how many months now......
That is why anyone who considers making and selling keyboards here on Geekhack know full well that it's a huge responsibility and shall take up all of your spare time like a black hole, never ceases to pull you in until the last keyboard is finished and shipped.
Trust me he isn't like DrugER and he didn't ask for full payment up front, which most want before commencing any build so he has shouldered the burden himself with his own money to see this through. I wish him all the best and hope he can get through this giant task of completing the TX1800 series.

Not yet, giving him another 4 weeks before I start rattling the cage here on Geekhack ;) .

I have a very big order with him (I understand I don't have priority), and needed to inquire/clear up some things regarding it.
Right now I have probably 5-6 keyboards that could be built, if I went and bought the parts from anywhere else, but I was under the assumption that this GB would have ended by now, and kept on waiting.
My projects are held up by this, and the very least Kin25 could do is take a moment to reply me, as I don't even know if I should be waiting for him, or buying the parts elsewhere.
I ended up getting very distraught over this, because the truth is, I put all my keyboard hopes and dreams in this GB, and gave Kin25 my 100% support.
When I say 100% support, I meant I ordered a lot of things because I felt initially, his attitude and responsible-demeanor was confidence inspiring, and I just couldn't help but trust and give him my support. Who knew that things would turn out like this.
I know he is not a scammer, but what really bothers me is the fact that Koreans, Malaysians and other countries have been receiving their orders, but he wouldn't even post a three-word reply to any of our emails here on GH. The fact that others receive their orders, but GH members have radio silence is very unprofessional, and I hope I'm not the only one that feels this way. I am really disappointed and saddened by this more than anything else, and in total disbelief that he would choose to ignore us.

Totally understand you here, although I only purchased ONE keyboard and sundries to have it made hence even if he decides to do a DrugER and disappear I only lost a small amount of money here. I never buy lots of gear from any stranger here on Geekhack because you have no idea who he really is and how he'll approach this whole TX1800 build.
The ONLY people I trust 100% here on GH is BunnyLake, Codyeatworld, Matt3o, IvanIvanovich, Feng and 7bit. These guys have proven themselves over the years that I have been here on Geekhack, so this new guy has yet to prove himself here but at the same time I won't condemn him just yet.
Like you said, he has finished other people's TX1800 so he is working on them, unlike DrugER that simply wasn't working on anything and just ran away with everyone's money. I still believe Kin25 needs time to finish these keyboards hence I DON'T recommend a lynching just yet with all the pitchforks and flames.
Just wait another three weeks before we seriously start unfurling the hate, that this place can unleash with such ferocity.

You do not understand Elrick. He is actively chatting on the Korean forums and always on 24/7 chatting, replying, and stuff. He is literally IGNORING Geekhack.
In fact, he is online right this moment and chatting, like he always does.

Yeah he seems oblivious to his commitments here on GH.
If he turns out to be another DrugER (still leaving it another three weeks before officially listing this as theft) maybe it's time we here on Geekhack STOP supporting anymore (foreign) Korean Group Buys, due to the lousy track record they have here thus far.
Just confused why he would make all the keyboards for locals yet ignore us in some way, with this type of behaviour he actually delivered to those who are situated near him, unlike DrugER which made nothing for nobody.

I think it's not only TX1800, I've ordered some switches from him a few months ago
and yet I get the same treatment via email. Saw a couple of his recent post over kbdlab and he's still active
I do believe he would still deliver though, I've received the two boards I ordered from him before

If I were a part of the Korean forums I would feel obligated as part of the community to put this topic out on center stage.
Anyone who is giving so many chances to this guy just plain wants a new keyboard without looking what's happening to them and others IMO.
I usually give people the benefit of the doubt, but this is not fair. He hasn't posted here in weeks without even saying at least "I'm working on it" or "I have them and they are coming."
We know he has the pieces and people have gotten theirs. He frequently posts on kbdlab. What's the deal? To this point I think he did a phenomenal job of keeping us updated with information and photos. What's going on that he's avoiding us? He obviously makes time for the other keyboard community.
I feel really sorry for the people who are in denial of getting robbed. Sorry if anyone thinks I'm out of line for thinking that this guy is jacking you guys.

In the end what can we do?
We have absolutely no power to force him to do anything, he is located in a totally alien country with different laws, culture and morality.
Just have to endure this and if I was him I would stay permanently inside South Korea and of course contact his good mate DrugER (to celebrate), on doing the same thing here. Word to the wise here, don't ever deal with South Koreans ever again despite their (fake) photos, promising hand made aluminum keyboards.
Their words (fake promises) mean absolutely nothing here........ the proof is clearly, self evident.

What made me think he's not a conman was he admitted that he received joey's 456GT, and returned it to Malaysia (if this ever happened).
I don't think a conman would do that, unless that was part of the drama to make people trust him.

This is really bizarre, I emailed him when he was asking about people taking the scratch/dent cases, and he emailed back several times, with pictures, a couple options of scratched cases, and I chose one. He provided an invoice for the remainder of the payment, I paid it, and he shipped out promptly on July 9th, I and received it just a few days later in NV. I received the case, the PCB, diodes, stabs, resistors all in working order (as pictured previously in this thread). I have no idea what the heck is going on.
Yeah I got a replies from him via email with pics of a scratched case, but no invoice.
Remeber the whole pitchforks with Sprit? That got way out of hand. I don't want the same to start here. But I agree.... Things are looking grim.

Honestly, after approaching the end of year 2 waiting on Sprit, this feels like a minor hickup.
I'd say give Kin more time. Not an indefinite pass, but it's only been about a month since his last post.
If you get busy and/or sidetracked, a month can fly by quick.

Agreed, and I don't want to set myself up as Defender of the Perpetually Tardy (worst superhero ever).
However, it is human nature. If you fall behind on something, you try to avoid those you report to until you catch up and have something to report.
I'm thinking/hoping that is what's happening here, and in a few weeks he'll pop up with a bunch of tracking numbers :)

It's never easy to run a groupbuy like this. Especially when you are on a tight profit margin. I personally is going through it now. Kin is a good guy, I am sure he will deliver the stuff people ordered.
Shall hold you to your words here, you can count on that.
It would of cost him nothing to simply drop by and post something, anything at all, just to let everyone know that he isn't operating exactly like DrugER, yet he has kicked the exact same goals as him. Even after promising all of us here, that he will be very different to how DrugER ran his Group Buys >:( .
Who will know what his next step will be, we all are just waiting to see.............

I asked one of the kbdlab members if he could somehow get in contact with KIN25. According to him kin said he will start shipping next week. Take that with a grain of salt though since, right now, that seems like a far stretch from being unwilling to post messages here and all the way to shipping. Not to mention the people who haven't fully paid yet. I can forward my email conversation to a trusted member if anyone feels I'm talking out of my ass.I need to thank you for the effort.

I'd have the same opinion if we didn't have photos of completed boards and other members that have received theirs. It looks like he's done and all he needs to do is finish invoicing and just ship them out.
I have the patience for most GBs if there is a solid reason, but the fact that he just vanished (which is not like him) and actively communicates on the Korean boards makes it very hard to sympathize. Many people here paid for something that is obviously completed. They just want their boards.
If there is an underlying reason it's not too hard to at least write one sentence saying what's going on.
Should most people not feel angry or frustrated at seeing a completed product they paid for and get the could shoulder, while the locals get to have their spoils? :confused:

Not arguing about the length of time BUT it's the complete QUIET by this organizer, even after PROMISING he will not do what DrugER had done.
BunnyLake had sorted out a few late key-set deliveries to my place and it took over a year but guess what, he always kept in constant contact, letting me know what has been happening. That is why certain people you can totally trust but others, have a lot to be desired in the area of ever gaining and deserving any trust whatsoever.
Now (in this moment in time) BunnyLake and CTRL/ALT is totally squared with me because everything I had paid for has all been delivered thus far. Without doubt he and his crew stand head and shoulders above everyone else when it comes down to simple TRUST and HONESTY.
CTRL/ALT live by those words and they deliver upon it, whilst others make empty words then fail completely to ever live up to them. Better yet, they simply disappear hoping no one will hold them accountable and forget about this whole Group Buy, thinking that time will heal all wounds.
What really hurts the MOST here, is that in the beginning I actually stood up for this character, Kin25 - saying he'll deliver on this, ....... boy was I wrong :blank: .

But what I do not understand is the payment, it is great to pay the small amount in the beginning, which all paid. So the production had been started - of all cases, plates and PCBs. Let's say there are 50 orders, all of them paid $100 in advance, $5000 in total, so the remaining $200 parts are in total $10000. This huge amount was paid already? I could imagine sometimes someone will need that money - if it was not paid for the production already. Of course it could be great liquidity too :)

Exactly, he needs the money now or before YET still refuses to post anything here.
I'm not mad at him for taking the small amounts off us here but it's the promises he made earlier on then ignoring them, for what reason - who knows.
Would be surprised if he still is making them because he's basically been working out of his own pocket but refuses to ask for anymore payments, that is what angers me the most in that this scheme he devised, that's costing him an arm and a leg yet won't ask anything from us.
Of course I'm presuming he is still working on these keyboards but that would be my, abnormally optimistic side showing here.

Though even a quick message from him will still be appreciated, like, "Hey, I'm busy but will get to it at that time," or something.
Still, looks like things are looking a bit brighter and we all should hear something in a few weeks.
Now there's SPRiT still...

Nonono, Kin is going to update us all on the first Monday of next month after he's finished his busy period... right....RIGHT?..... /s
Sadly, I do think we have been royally scammed. 6 months overdue and no word from the GB leader in months AND the Korean forums all had their orders fulfilled.

There have been times where the GB leader has come back and fulfilled all/most of the orders (Sprit) after a long delay of silence. There are very clear rules noted in this subforum that is is our own duty to decide where to spend out money.
DrugER was someone that clearly scammed a lot of money and I don't think they are banned technically. Him and Kin are probably making it rain somewhere with all of our hard earned $$$$
Post by: Spopepro on Mon, 26 October 2015, 00:06:54
One thing about this buy: Kin25 only took deposits. So as far as making it rain, I don't think so. He would be a very poor scammer indeed. More likely is his family, his job, and a couple of manufacturing problems all snowballed into something he is having a hard time handling. Maybe he won't ever be able to make it right, and maybe he will. No one really knows right now, possibly including Kin25 himself. Which might explain why he won't post.
As for a system to prevent problems: you can't. Make everything retail and none of the special projects happen. Failures have come from new members, and members who have run many, many successful buys. And, in complete honesty, maybe people like me are the problem. I'm not pleased with how this has gone so far, but despite everything saying this is a sinking ship, if Kin25 sent me an invoice tomorrow I'd pay it. I'd still rather have the keyboard than my deposit back. And therein lies the rub: I'm not the only one who thinks this way, possibly making it a little too easy for bad projects to fester.
Post by: nathanrosspowell on Mon, 26 October 2015, 00:10:55
It is the nature of the group buy, in keyboards and in other hobbies, that significant risk is taken on as the end purchaser. This is not a retail process. The expense and risk is high because a small group of people are seeking something that otherwise isn't commercially viable. It's worth always remembering the trade-off of wanting something special. And if you can't afford to lose it, you probably shouldn't ever join.

All good points. I defended Kin a fair bit in this thread, but looking at it today, the lack of one single post over the last few months has made me lose faith.
I have a lot of components sitting around waiting to finish this build so I would also be very happy to receive and pay an invoice :thumb:

This is a dangerous mindset to have for everyone involved. There is risk on both ends - for the organizer, the risk of not meeting MOQ and the entire GB being a waste of time, energy, and money if they had to prepare shipping materials or prototyping.

Serves us right for ever standing up and supporting these type of STRANGERS because they probably joined only to do this type of scam. Just surprised he didn't go for the full amount like his predecessor did.

Quite right, the only time you actually vouch for anyone now are those with years of Group Buying experience like BunnyLake, Cody, Matt3o and IvanIvanovich.
They deserve that trust because of the vast number of Group Buys held by them, so naturally you go with them if you want a delivered product at your front door.

There must be a limited number of "good" TX1800s from the batch, so his top priority was to take care of those closest to him (the ones with the most potential to cause harm to him), so with that thought, he goes ahead and fulfills the Korean orders with his limited number of "good" TX1800s cases, and receives the full payment for those orders.
Combining the low margins and low cost of Korean CNC work, global TX1800 deposit payments, and the now fully-paid TX1800s from all the Korean members, Kin25 is able to scrape through and come out without a loss.
Just a theory, but mind-boggling, right?
Post by: monotagary on Wed, 28 October 2015, 21:48:35
Alright, so I did some quick math, well, estimates, and came up with an idea of Kin25 might be pulling this off. Please keep in mind this is complete speculation and just my theory.

Yes. It's not helpful to ban immediately though, since that basically seals the deal (no way to update us even if he wanted to). At this point, the best we can do is to simply not approve future group buys, which is standard procedure.

Some parts of that could be right..
I can easily see that he didn't want to rip people off (or else why only take a minor deposit on what is not a huge number of these from GH). I can see he probably had some issues (there were some obvious quality issues with the cases). He probably ran into some time issues. He completed the local ones as he's really a part of that community...
He's probably not sure what to do with the rest...have people said they're ok with slightly messed up cases? I get the feeling he's not sure what to do as he probably can't fill the order properly..I think if he explained the situation people might understand but I don't know...
It just seems stupid to rip people off just their deposit...he could easily have had the full amount...so I have to think he didn't go into this trying to rip everyone off...

Wouldn't that be nice? Unfortunately, when people on GH run into issues, it seems like they prefer to shut down and hide rather than deal with the issue and work towards a possible solution. Communication. It's a difficult thing I guess.

Aboslutely NO excuses for Kin25. Absolutely not.
I have sent him over 10 emails stating my desires to pay off my whole balance, as I had quite a few parts/switches/components ordered with him that were delaying my keyboard builds. (Thanks to this, my keyboard builds are still delayed, but I have sourced the parts now from elsewhere).
He had shown me photos of my TX1800, and I was still quite happy to see it completed, and was okay with the small scratches on my case.
I just want to make it absolutely clear that a large amount of GH members have reached out to him both in this thread and in private regarding paying off invoices, and he just doesn't reply to any of the emails. This is very strange behavior from Kin25, and it seems to be a psychological issue, because it is completely illogical.
Post by: DanielT on Thu, 29 October 2015, 01:43:37
To be really honest at this point I prefer missing out on a GB and picking up the stuff in the classifieds at extra cost instead of taking a 100% loss. The math is simple, I'd rather pay 110$ instead of loosing 90$ .
I don't even really need **** at this point, I have all the caps I can use, all the boards I need, so I'd rather enjoy the fun from outside the game instead of taking a hit. just my 0.02$

Not making an excuse for him..if we're going to speculate on what is going on (as you did) then I'm just speculating...Fact is, if you offered to pay off your invoice and he wanted to steal the money why not just take the extra money as well?
I don't know if it is completely illogical he isn't responding...see GH60 for a perfect example of what happens when someone gets buried or is unsure what to do next..they just ignore the messages....Some people react differently to different situations...I would say ignoring the messages is one of the more common responses..
Post by: Dansor on Thu, 29 October 2015, 09:05:42
I also think that's the case with other buy in a similar state.
Hopefully he will come around, understand the community will support him and give him leeway if a communicates honestly, even if it's to say the buy is officially failed.
So much frustration could be avoided if people would just communicate.
Anyway, I just want this layout so bad! Might have to start watching the classifieds, as I think it could be my perfect layout.
I NEED IT!!!!

There is a group buy running for another 1800 inspired korean custom. I'm sure many of you have seen it. (Compact SQ.) On It's post on /r/mechmarket, a user posted a commented in regards to this tx1800 group buy, about the leader disappearing with no updates. Leeku replied with the following:
Quote
[–]leeku 1 day ago
I think this thread is not the place to tell about kin but he was very busy. I had personal contact with him and asked about tye GB in GH. He said he had no time to finish and pack them. He has not been vanished. He will resume soon. [...]
I had dealings with Kin a few months ago the day the case fiasco happened. Based on my interaction with him, I don't at all believe he's left with your money. He was super honest and straight forward with me and refunded me shipping costs when I insisted he keep any extra as a tip. While none of this proves anything at all, and I may very well eat these words, I do believe he will come back and make things right as best he can.

Even if, worst case, he feels like he can no longer fulfil the orders; there is no reason for this silence.
There is no more room for excuses. Time to be a decent human being and give us some answers about the money that was taken.

EXACTLY he has finally proven himself for what he is, a dirty individual residing firmly within the sphere of 'scumbags' like DrugER, despite him promising earlier on that he was nothing like him and here we are today >:D .
Again people like him don't deserve any type of sympathy because he has exhausted every excuse and even he can't be bothered to lay anymore lies and bullsh1t here on Geekhack. Simply moved to another forum space to carry on with his craft of deception.
Although if I was a Korean living there, I would personally hunt down this person if he ever tries to deliver the same treatment as he has done to all of us here on GH.

Also why is there [Shipping] in the thread title? WHAT IS SHIPPING? TEARS?
YES he has changed the heading so that anyone not familiar with this evil clown's behaviour here on GH, would presume he has actually shipped everyone's paid for orders - YET NOTHING HAS BEEN SHIPPED which is the truth.
Most newbs who visit this place have no idea who this clown is other than someone who had lied to all of us on a continuing basis and might even fool the Koreans into thinking he has delivered on all the orders here on GH, which he clearly hasn't.
Never underestimate TRUE Evil it simply cowers away into the darkness, then it carefully sets up another web of lies and deceit elsewhere, just like a real Rock Spider. Damn I wish I could be the giant size boot to finish him off personally.

If any Mod actually bothers to drop by and read this thread at the very Front Page you have him posting all the FINISHED 1800 keyboards perfectly so according to the guidelines here on this Forum Site he has actually finished this Group Buy.
He doesn't have to produce the goods just post fake pictures on the front side to fool everyone he has lived up to his own lies of making something for all the customers within this section.
Unfortunately we did not receive anything from him especially no contact either by PM or Email. He only stole our deposits and that was his full intent thus far, no contact here on Gekhack and no money refunded by him after all this time, so the Mods don't care if that happens.
Just chalk it down to another shady rip-off delivered stone cold, here on Geekhack Central ;D .

Hoffman you should with your fellow Mod, travel over to Seoul and track down this shyster and give him a vicious wedgie off a sky scrapper. Then to drive the point home for him, cut his jock strap and watch him fall twenty stories down to his end.

I agree. There were constant updates which included photos and much discussion. Plenty of other GBs have a lot less transparency. There was plenty of reason for people to believe this was going to happen.
This had a good trajectory, and then for some reason it just vanished. :(

EXACTLY, this was a new one that just dropped into GH central and because WE were mesmerized with the 1800 layout, he took advantage upon us.
What's worse is that he posted all those pics here on this site showing us all what the TX1800 shall look like and like a true Pedo he lured us into his filthy, slimy, make-believe Group Buy. Before we knew anything had happened we all got molested out of our money and never heard from him again.
This was one of the nastiest Group Buys held here on Geekhack because he drew us in with his so-called "honesty" and "decency" yet it was all a despicable ruse, operating exactly like a true Pedophile >:D .

Why bother posting updates, etc, well after he had the money? And why not ask for more money upfront rather than a relatively low deposit?
What I don't quite understand is no one from the KBD community either knows what is going on here or cares..and I find that really hard to understand as well. We have some Korean members here, has anyone actually try posting on there? They seem to have received their goods...
It is just a really unusual way to rip people off...Certainly a smarter/better way would've been to get people's money (more of it) and stop making an effort to fake people out by posting additional information, pictures, etc...It makes you think something else is going on...not that it excuses him or anything but it is just odd..

Yeah. If you're trying to scam people, you usually don't produce the items you were baiting with. Unless it's a big conspiracy where we were funding all the "defective" (actually perfectly fine) units that some people ended up getting... @.@

- He aimed for perfection
- Had the cases re-made too many times
- Burned through peoples deposits without getting enough stock
- Scraped enough together to finish the kbdlad GB - who knows what happened to the promised 'slight seconds'
- When it came to spending his own money to pay for his own mistakes... start making excuses
- Bury head in the sand and pretend he didn't rip off numerous people from GH
- Ask his friends (leeku etc.) to never comment on him (TX1800 was brought up in the Compact SQ GB and it was quickly silenced)
- Never going to post to GH again
- Live life with no honour or dignity, but still continue to make new boards for Koreans only

The most he can do is make an apology and ship the faulty boards.
Burning your own funds and losing money from running a group buy just wouldn't be right either.
The blame really goes towards the awful factory that couldn't promise acceptable quality.

Or he could communicate effectively, retain/regain our trust, and maybe we could all work together to come to a satisfying outcome for the buyers.
You're right, he shouldn't eat these costs either. But no attempt to communicate and make things right is not good.

Kin is still planning on sending out the boards to geekhack members. He currently has a house full of TX1800s but they have minor defects, from what I here they're basically no big deal. I myself was trying to get my hands on one and was told that I would have one saved for me if there are any extras after finishing the geekhack orders. That is all I know, I'd prefer not to give info on whom I was talking to so they don't get bombarded with questions.

No offense, but why all the mystery? Maybe that's not on you, since you're just the middle man and all that (which, thanks for passing the info along :thumb: ), but still. After so many months, Kin needs to come back and make such a post himself.

I completely agree, I have no clue why he is silent at all. I was just in discussion with somebody who has direct contact with Kin. I know before that if you were able to get in direct contact with Kin you could possibly try and get your hands on a TX1800, I tried myself but he no longer is doing that until he completes the geekhack orders.
I know this is very vague but it's just a very small snippet of a conversation. It doesn't prove much, but I figured at least something is better than complete silence.

That is so right. He has now LOST all credibility here on GH hence asking for more money to be handed over shall be a tall order.
Nevertheless I shall hand over the remaining amount of money on this order, so that I may "possibly" get my TX1800 keyboard with PBT key-caps. Although Kin25 has to know that I shall be applying the mandatory 180 day limit on this extra payment, so if I do not get anything from him within 180 days of payment then the full claim for it shall be launched.
If Kin25 wants to settle this order finally then forget about any more piss poor excuses and lies, you shall stand up and deliver on your promises or else risk Paypal hunting you down till death. Your move sunshine..........
See I am a forgiving type of individual here and am only interested in getting my TX1800 as specked out.

Yes he's completely done with TX1800, and has the aluminum in his office or storage location. He just needs to actually sell it to us, even if they are flawed units, or give us a full refund on our deposits, which he has not.Kin stole our money.

Post by: frostylove on Sun, 21 February 2016, 19:58:55
As a friend of Kin25's wife, recently I get some information of TX1800's production difficulties.
The holes on the framework seems a little bit smaller than expectation, and if he ships as it he gonna worry about the screws fitting problem that may occur. So he ordered some screw nuts and trying to fix this defect by himself, just want to give all of you guys a perfect board.
here I just want say sorry for the delay of this GB and I appreciate all of your patience here for supporting the GB. Kin25 has a job in daytime and he does all the GB work in his spare time so please understand.
Shipping confirmation work will starts before march, he needs to confirm with several buyer for their imperfect product(but still better than most of the korean board made before), whether they still want the board.
Estimate shipping in late march.
Thanks everyone.

Two things:
1) if he has problems, the first thing he should have done is communicate it to us GB supporters.
2) he is still not posting in this thread.

Also did people who just ordered parts and pieces ever get there stuff? I'd like to some of those switch openers if someone has a set.
I am not in this buy either but this thread was dead. I am trying to bring back to light an issue that people should be concerned about. If he posts himself about any issues/updates then fine we know at least something is happening. Instead we have new fairly "low post accounts" claiming they spoke to his "wife". Not only is the guy posting on kbdlab and discussing new projects hes working on. Clearly things are moving forward for him.

I won't post any other things or reply to any msg related to TX1800 in the future.
Just want you guys know, this is a community not a real market. I used to be in several GB which lasts more than one year, but finally everything is OK. Be patient or don't come in at first.

YES and as a community there is "NORMALLY" constant updates and information coming from the organizer but alas NOT HERE.
Have no idea who you are and if you're connected in anyway BUT we need Kin25 telling us this and not anyone else. The only decency left for Kin25 is to actually post something here instead of getting other people to front him here on GH.
But we see the real aspect of this person here over time, someone that sadly lacks any REAL backbone or common courtesy which most Korean organizers do have.

As someone who deals with the Korean culture fairly regularly I can tell you going MIA is not a common practice. Their society is based on respect and good intentions. So for someone to not communicate regularly is a big sign of something fishy. Sorry guys, don't hold your breath. Maybe one day a mystery box will show up at your door.

Logged in yesterday. It's been 202 days without commenting on his GB thread. What possible reason is there for not posting if he has ANY intention of fulfilling the task that we paid him for?

Ctrl Alt: let's face it, their buys in recent memory have gone far from without a hitch, but bunny, tym, and Cody have all been here to face the brunt of it, been very open, and completely honest about the issues they've faced and have gained a lot of loyalty because of it. Am I certain that they still will have issues now and then? Completely, but at the same time, they are learning from their mistakes and remaining transparent about thing.
CF LX: once again, setbacks galore, but any time a question of status comes up, once again, hwood is right there to answer and give any kind of status update.
Electric bluegaloo: life happens, and this was a perfect example. Billnye had exams, and product on hand...once again, updates at all times and no issues with answering questions.
Sprit: disappears for chunks of time, but has ultimately shipped orders. Has some outstanding order, does not update often, but orders still show up now and then.
Then we come to this buy...where the only thing that has resulted is frustration, a complete lack of transparency, desertion, and trickling updates through the grapevine while kin continues conducting business elsewhere. If anything, this has completely shifted my trust as well as some others from both new users (which is a complete shame because some new users legitimately have a lot to offer) as well as the Korean community, especially when you group this in with the Druger incident which this has inevitably mirrored. At this point, regardless of updates and where they're coming from, I'm convinced I will never see this board, and there is no circumstance in which I will be giving Kin more of my money to be jerked around like this. This was the one thing I was looking forward to receiving last year, and it ultimately became the biggest disappointment of 2015 and the biggest waste of money.

I'm on month 26 or 27 since I placed my order with him and haven't heard anything from him directly for about a year.
But that's neither here nor there.
I'm in this order too, and they're both write-offs for me.
I've already passed on a couple group buys I would otherwise have joined because of this.
Only going with ~5k+ post users from now on, which is a shame because there is some good stuff and buys that could use the support and numbers.
It's a shame.

As I said, there are still orders trickling in, but I by no means am saying that he's in a much better place than Kin in my book. Fact of the matter is though, he has fulfilled SOME orders.

I am really torn about replying into this thread because I didn't join the GB and I don't want to be the peanut gallery but.....
Wow, talk about adding insult to injury. Kin takes the community's money, absconds, doesn't post updates, starts new projects in other communities and then sends the friend of his wife (?) to GH to give "updates".
Granted, that "update" says:
- This isn't a real market, if you don't like shady business practices, tough cookies
- You should be okay with this delay in a GB because (anecdotally and unrelated to the GB at hand) others have waited this long and received their merchandise
- I'm not providing any more updates, even though I'm the only ambassador for this GB and the organizer has disappeared
I'm not trying to attack frostylove at all. (In fact, I almost feel bad because frostylove is just the messenger.) But I am pretty flabbergasted by the way this GB has been run and by the lack of culpability from Kin. This is an example of how not to run a GB and it's really sad because, as exitfire pointed out, buys like this really harm community confidence. I really hope that folks who participated in this GB are able to recoup their funds.
I'm surprised that GH and other major KB forums (DT, kbdlab) haven't banded together to build a blacklist of known-bad actors. Or is this a thing and I just don't know about it?[/list]

This was the one thing I was looking forward to receiving last year, and it ultimately became the biggest disappointment of 2015 and the biggest waste of money.
For me personally, despite his atrocious Group Buy run here on GH, I would still be willing to pay out my order in the hope of receiving my TX1800 (yes I am a pathetic 1800 addict, even after all this).
This time when I do make another payment, he shall have ONLY 179 days to deliver this keyboard to my address before I make a claim against him. There will be no second bite of the apple here because I want Paypal to hunt him down and render him like he deserves if nothing is delivered.
If he is real about supplying this keyboard to us here on Geekhack then he has to know there will be NO TRUST anymore until it's delivered. I know he reads what we post here to understand our pent up fury over this debacle but he has to know thus far, he has lost any genuine integrity with any of us.

I know I've picked up my Pitch fork and wanted so desperately to impale him with it, here on GH Central but alas that was my juvenile sentiment that went rampant at around three in the morning.
During 'normal' daylight hours I am STILL ready to give him the benefit of doubt regarding this Group Buy. I'm willing to wait another year till the end of 2016 (this year) to get my TX1800 keyboard. As much as everyone is running around wanting to lynch him and dispense justice, like in the old Wild West he still has a family and I don't want to further frighten them into believing that WE westerners are that blood thirsty and vindictive when it comes to failed GBs.
If he genuinely wants to build a PERFECT TX1800 keyboard, then who are we to deny his aspiration. But if he's trying to wriggle free from his responsibility here on GH, then God may forgive him but Geekhackers WILL NOT.

Well not so much that..but that KBDLab isn't support GH at all..and what I mean by that is, doesn't anyone on GH have an account on KBD? Can't they post something to the extent of
WTF is going on with the TX1800s that have been sold on GH but not delivered by kin?
It is then up to the community there to ask him wtf is going on...Hopefully that forces a response from him...
If it doesn't then *shrug*...we know the Korean KB community can't be trusted at all..even if they do make cool stuff...

so people from gh do have accounts there, that is the reason we are getting any updates at all
its totally unfair to make a blanket statement that the korean keyboard community cannot be trusted, and to lump them in with the actions of one
and speaking of the actions of one, whilst gh loves a good witch hunt, and whilst i appreciate all signs point to not good, until we get word from kin as to whats going on we are really just speculating
to speculate, to me it seems there are no signs that he intended to wrong the community, if he had put this buy up and taken full payment rather than deposits, i think orders would have been just the same and he would be much richer for it, to me it looks like a guy who tried his best and got in over his, mistakes happened and he is either to embarrassed or ashamed to face the consequences until he is able to offer a solution
obviously i could be way of base here, but until we hear one way or the other directly from him, i think suggestion anything other than his lack of communication has been a huge problem with only make it harder for him to come back, and discourage him further from trying to make things right
lots of people have lots of money tied up here, and we want to make the environment he returns to as easy as possible so that people have a chance to either get there stuff or there money back
im not suggesting people cant be unhappy about the situation, but all we really know for sure right now is there were some slight defects with some of the cases, and that he hasnt posted an update to us in a long time whilst he has been active in other communities
what we need is some closure, a message from kin to say one of two things, either that this got way out of control, and that he will be unable to deliver the goods as promised and what if any resolution to that he can offer, or an update on what he has been doing and why he has been silent for so long, and his plans for fulfillment moving forward

Here are some photos of the TX1800Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/nOuL0BA.jpg)Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/WHiN6aX.jpg)
I will discuss with Ki on the ways forward to get all these boards shipped.
:p
GEEZ, I'm now licking my LCD screen for this TX1800.
Hope it isn't going to be another "abominable keyboard", only seen on special occasions when someone snaps a quick pic with their iphone.

This will be fulfilled soon. Stay tuned. Kin is working of the list of pre-orders, one it's ready, I will be helping him on the coordination here on geekhack and also money collection.
We are still working the ETA. As Ki is planning to deliver the board with the revised 1800pcb (with rgb), to compensate for his delay and lack of updates for the project.
Cheers.
How does one apply for a refund?
Post by: ImAWildDeer on Wed, 02 March 2016, 00:07:36
I'm still waiting the list from him. As soon as I received it from Ki, I will start working on it. iinm, there are 40+ people who paid for the deposit.
Thanks for the update Yuktsi! I will need to change my address as well, should I reach out to you, kin, or wait for you guys to verify the addresses?

Also wondered about this as well. My complete order was TX1800 w/ SS plate, Vintage MX blacks, clear switch film, PoW caps, 67g springs, switch tools, diodes, resistors and stabilizers. Are we still getting those additional items, or should we just consider ourselved lucky that we may get the boards?

Yeah I know from reading early posts that a lot of people also paid for Switch Plate Removers and Key Cap Pullers too which seems completely left out of that list.
Edit: Although technically that portion hasn't been paid for yet so if that's too much work it could just be removed from the final price I guess which sucks for those that did but it's better than nothing.

Considering i already have my switches, switch film, switch top removers, and basically everything else, i could care less about them. Still figured it's worth asking

What is the point of having people give a $100 USD order deposit if he is not going to honour the order, and sell it off to someone else, after months of no communication?
I am beyond choked with this sort of behavior, but I won't shoot the messenger (yuktsi) for trying to help out.
KIN25 is arguably the worst business-minded person I've ever dealt with on this website, and just wanted to express my discontent with how things have been handled.
To repeat: I ordered a black TX1800 without the NCS engraving, and KIN25 had it made, took photos and emailed it to me.
Now yuktsi is telling me that it has been sold and is no longer available. My only option is a refund, and I will gladly take it.
This entire GB has been a cluster****.
I strongly urge those who are considering picking up an "extra" to consider how things have been handled, and whether or not you'll have the patience and tolerance to deal with the lack of accountability from the GB runner.

Post by: Karura on Wed, 30 March 2016, 12:16:52
This is more complicated than I thought. :blank:
Anyway, to those who have been invoiced, please pay asap.
The orders will be shipped either this week or early next week.
Will refund if it's not shipped after a week, since I won't transfer the money to Kin-25 until the board is shipped.
Thank you @.@
I hope you can arrange for the refunds to be taken out of the funds coming to you to pay off keyboards.
Do you understand what I'm proposing?
There is no longer any trust at all with KIN25, and it would be preferable if we can minimize any additional delays or damage, by refunding people via the pool of money that goes into paying for entire keyboards.
If KIN25 has any shred of dignity or accountability, he would understand the reasons for doing this. Also, it will minimize money getting lost (via PP fees every single transaction) if the money doesn't get rerouted too many times.
Could I get some support/agreement for this proposed plan? There is literally no other better alternative, if you want to make people happy and have them believe that they will actually get their money back.
tl;dr: Minimize money going into KIN25's pockets by refunding from the pool of funds that we (yuktsi) currently have control and access to. Good idea, yeah? Less likely to get scammed even further.

I can't say the same for everyone, but as far as all the various promised extras go, I'd be thrilled just to receive the case, plate, PCB, and keycaps.
I'm sure others may, and probably do, feel different, of course.
Anyway, thanks for the effort.

I understand your proposition but it isn't going to work.
yuktsi isn't responsible for this mess. Ontop of trying to fix things for people you want yuktsi to change whatever plan/agreement that has been made with KIN25?
This is how your plan works out:
- yuktsi gets the money from some of us for a few boards
- yuktsi ask KIN25to post these boards under the agreement that kin with get the funds
- KIN25posts the boards and gives proof of postage
- yuktsi then goes "oh, btw, that money is being used for refunds"?
The money can't be used for other peoples refunds until after the boards have been posted. Why would KIN25 post the boards if he knew he's not going to get any money for them? Like you said there is already little trust for KIN25 actions. Why should yuktsi have to be put in the position to lie to KIN25?
I understand the transfer of money works on paper and it is logically sound. But we are dealing with someone (KIN25) who doesn't seem to operate on good logical grounds, otherwise kin would be posting here in person fixing the mess that was made.
I honestly think the best thing to do is to let yuktsi be the escrow agent for the rest of the payment (seems low risk) then you will either get your money back or get your parts (which you can then sell to break even). I understand the moral position of not wanting to give KIN25 more money, but I don't think you will be able to recoup your deposit any other way.
Maybe yuktsi would be able to work out a new totally new agreement with KIN25 where this is possible, but seriously I doubt it. Either way I would ask everyone to cool off a bit before demanding more of yuktsi. I've been angry about this for a long time, just like you, but yuktsi shouldn't be the target of our frustration.
Post by: Karura on Wed, 30 March 2016, 12:57:31
Basically I'm asking yuktsi to communicate with KIN25 and see if this can be arranged.
It is a long shot, given how things have been handled by KIN25, and I also completely understand that he requires payment for postal fees, but perhaps we can work something out if KIN25 is in this to resolve and put an end to the troubling situation.
Another thing to add, I don't appreciate that you're jumping to conclusions as to what can or cannot be done. I agree with you that we should leave it to Yuktsi to resolve the situation, but I feel that communication and negotiation isn't completely useless, and I would rather attempt to do that than jumping to conclusions that I have no say in this whole ordeal.
Also I never directed anger at Yuktsi or anyone aside from KIN25. You should read my post from above where I explained my situation and specified that I'm appreciative for Yuktsi's help in getting this GB sorted.
Yuktsi would you please try to help us and see if this is possible?

Hopefully this GB can come to an end for all of us as soon as possible, whether it's by refund or fulfilment. So I will keep my fingers crossed for you, Karura. This GB went from a dream to a ****ing nightmare :(

It's all down to Yuktsi here because this person has saved our scalped arses. This guy has stepped in to make sure those that paid up get their unique keyboard, hence he deserves our thanks.
I gave up on ever owning this keyboard but made sure BunnyLake got his, since he is the biggest fan of the Cherry 1800 series. Besides he is the ONLY one that works hard at making all his Key-Cap Group Buys highly successful on this place which has now become known as, Scam-Merchants Paradise.
Post by: Karura on Wed, 30 March 2016, 20:40:58
Also could you explain a bit on how refunds will be issued, if we should be worried about the potential of not seeing them? Thanks again for being the mediator. I'm sure we all appreciate what you're doing and hope we can resolve this smoothly.
Post by: Elrick on Wed, 30 March 2016, 20:50:37
So back on topic, how do you feel about this Yuktsi?
Never dealt with him before, so this would be my first payment to him.
Not worried at all because this payment is on the Paypal timeline of 180 days, so if BunnyLake doesn't get his keyboard before 180 days then a claim is launched. I'm not worried because when dealing with anyone here on Geekhack NOW, you follow the strict 180 day rule and you will be covered, or risk being fvcked seriously out of cash if you wait any longer.

Of course like all people here when undertaking a mammoth task of actually building keyboards and organizing key-sets, the underlying fact is that anything can happen to derail your Group Buy. This was a perfect storm of failures that were out of kin25's control.
Hence he simply didn't want to confront anyone here on GH to let everyone know of his failures. Pride and being afraid to admit you were wrong in trying to do this, is what destroyed the Group Buy confidence here. Anyone can make mistakes because that's life in general but not fronting up and admitting to them is the real failure here.
He seems to be a perfectionist so that helped to compile his own personal misery during this GB. He thinks we will carve his name in failure on the walls of Geekhack here for ever more but when you admit to the failures and say something with honesty then we may forgive you.
All I can say now here on Geekhack, Kin25 is removed off my "Wall of Hatred" because Ivan the Scumbag, has now taken prime position all by himself. Trust me, there are far worse contenders of absolute sh1t-bags, that take the crown in stealing people's hope and money.

Because reasons /s
But i agree. Had he just swallowed his pride and laid things out, this whole thing would have been no problem. I can understand when an issue arises and is worked through. I may be a little frustrated ar first, but showing that there is a plan of action makes it acceptable. Disappearing for 6 months and running other group buys while screwing people out of boards they paid for is unacceptable. This whole situation has soured a lot of people and I'll personally never do business with kin again. He had all the time in the world to make these issues known and actually talk to us about it. Pride is no excuse. Btw, i gave up my spot even though there was a board ready to ship to me. I just don't care for this board anymore. Too much associated drama.

I'm glad kin contacted someone, but for me if I want to be perfect and a professional that includes communication. He seemed to communicate just fine with the Korean community, so why not us? It doesn't make much since if he viewed it as the board not being perfect since the biggest problem was his avoiding us.
Agree with you I do.
But be aware that English isn't his first language and even the email he sent me wasn't really all that clear regarding basic punctuation and grammar. Like all non-english people we can be a nasty lot when we misread someone's posts here on GH Central.
Hence most either just stop by here to read things before moving on, simply because engaging with us is like trying to handle a Porcupine on Prozac. Also bear in mind, what it would be like for us English speaking people trying to communicate on a Korean Forum with their culture and characteristics. In fact I wouldn't be surprised if their version of a lynch mob develops straight away because of one sentence posted by us on their forum site.
Not here to defend his behaviour because after all he chose to run a Group Buy here on our site but nevertheless we are all in this situation and out of a tiny few who got their keyboard kits, what the rest will get...........who knows.

Maybe because this community is awful to deal with? I mean... look at the threads of other GBs in recovery. People are working really hard to do their best to make things as right as they can possibly be after breakdowns and failures and people are hammering whomever will listen in the thread with their personal requests and complaints. This thread as well: it was mostly dormant and forgotten about until yuktsi jumped in and is doing a real favor in sorting things out as well as they can be, and instantly everyone sees it as an opportunity to post their needs. I really worry about what yuktsi's PM box looks like. Who want's that headache?
I get it to a certain extent--people put money on the line and expect something for it. That's not a wrong feeling to have, but I don't understand why people keep treating GBs like retail transactions. You are putting money out there for something special, something that often does not yet exist, and you are hoping that it will happen the way you plan. It often won't, and the more out there the idea the more likely it is to run into issues. While disappointment is understandable, the vitriol and anger is petulant and childish, and more than enough reason why someone would rather just let a random corner of the internet hate their guts than have to face it directly.

Seems we can all agree that all we want is to know what is going on. Most who have been here a little while know that even with the best of intentions, things can go awry. This board will certainly come with a lot of extra baggage, but I didn't want this to all be for nothing.

I'm certainly one of the main complainants here due to getting no responses from the Group Buy organizer hence my penchant to sharpen my pitch fork and lighting numerous torches for a proper witch hunt. My fault here and I'm not going to blame anyone else here for my behaviour, especially at my age.
Internet is like that because you will never see your opponents face in real life, you don't care what you type in any forum. No sympathy is ever given hence the troll in everyone of us starts to rear it's ugly head but upon getting kin25's email, I can see how he has tried to communicate his extreme frustration with everything that has gone by in this Group Buy. He really wants to supply the keyboards and refunds as soon as possible just to finally complete this once and for all.

Kin25 has not once replied to my emails or posted in here to update us ever since he disappeared, and that sort of lack of communication is the greatest sin that any GB runner can commit.
The facts are, Kin25 still has not openly communicated with his clients (us), and that just isn't acceptable, regardless of whatever reason. I'm saying this as both a GB runner, as well as someone who has been invested in this community, and have participated in GH GBs as early as 2011.
I'm done discussing my feelings regarding Kin25. After he sold my custom TX1800 order, I really have nothing left to say, and will wait patiently for my refund.
With that said, I do applaud Kin25 for trying to make amends (behind the scenes), and hope to see my refund soon. Also want to thank Yuktsi again for trying to sort out this cluster****. I sincerely thank both of you for wanting to resolve this.

This thread as well: it was mostly dormant and forgotten about until yuktsi jumped in and is doing a real favor in sorting things out as well as they can be, and instantly everyone sees it as an opportunity to post their needsthat seems unfair.. firstly sorting of people's affairs is exactly what yutski intended to do. second, if you were in a similar situation i'm willing to bet you'd also jump at the first chance to salvage something, anything out of such a wreckage. walk a mile in their shoes etc etc
I really worry about what yuktsi's PM box looks like.same, that's why i want kin to resume taking responsibility for this buy instead of hiding behind yuktsi's tail. but that's their business and not mine
While disappointment is understandable, the vitriol and anger is petulant and childish, and more than enough reason why someone would rather just let a random corner of the internet hate their guts than have to face it directly.i don't agree with this. time and again, what kin and similar gb runners before him have been afraid of is perceived potential backlash. while in reality, what i can imagine is a few outraged individuals demanding refunds, while the rest will sympathize and maybe even trying to provide assistance in one way or another. thing is, kin hasn't given us the public any reasons to sympathize with him. it's like a forest fire, you should put it out when it starts small. but if you go 'better not touch it i might get burned hope it rains soon' and it eventually engulfs the whole forest, who's to blame?

Awesome! More good news in this thread is great to see.

Awesome! More good news in this thread is great to see.
Again Kin25 and yuktsi are working towards finishing this GB once and for all.
At this stage we just have to leave them to it, because all the costs thus far are incurred by Kin in spending more time to polish off each keyboard for delivery to those still wanting the TX1800.
Hope everything goes to plan this time and those still wanting this item, won't be disappointed in the quality.

Yeah I have to say the entire board came out great, I'm super happy with mine, more than worth the wait

I'll ask here in case others have this question: I paid the remainder for my board so am expecting shipping at some point - will there be updates on current status available at some point? Kin is shipping the board, correct? Should I PM/email him? It's far from the point where I'm worrying about it, just want to know what to expect.
For my case: I paid the remainder to yuktsi and had no further PMs, emails or shipping notification. The board just arrived in the post (marked as $50 value).

Since he got involved with the TX1800, all orders for it shall be met and everyone needs to owe him a great debt of gratitude for doing this.

I sent a message to Yuktsi kind of asking this, but I'm still a little unclear, so I figure I'll ask the rest of you rather than keep bugging him.
Is the long term plan for everyone who ordered, but doesn't want a refund, to get their order?
Or is it only those people that were billed?
When I asked Yuktsi, he sent me a link with images of some of the boards and said I could pick one and get billed, but I guess I'm just a little confused on the status of those vs the status of the buy in general.
Would anyone please be able to clarify so I don't have to pester Yuktsi for information that is probably in the message history and I'm just not parsing it correctly?
Thanks!

Yuktsi listed you, but hasn't invoiced you yet.

This is the latest status of the GB. Order will be shipped within a week after payment is made. Kin-25 will send me more photos next week.

Hi,Well, let's say Ki is giving 'x' no. of boards every week, my job is to fulfil the people who joined the groupbuy with these boards. Because most of these boards are not perfect (defective boards are at 20% discount), therefore I can't bill you straightaway. I need to send you the photos of the boards I have and get you to pick the one that you most satisfied with. I hope this is clear enough.

Since Yuktsi got involved, have indeed received my full refund and am happy to see this finished for me.
As much as I love the 1800 layout it isn't worth the hassle trying to get one. Happy in ONLY getting normal layouts like TKL and 104 standards.
Thanks yuktsi for stepping in and sorting everything out, much appreciated :thumb: .

My Capslock and L-Ctrl got swapped somehow. I haven't messed with the firmware so I'm wondering if it's a key shortcut or something? Anyone have some info on this?
IIRC, leeku PCBs have the "caps lock" key swap to L-ctrl after being held down for 5 seconds.

Any update on this for those of us who put down a deposit on a pcb+plate+keycaps......it has been a very long time since anything concrete has been mentioned. We do see that for those members who ordered a full case getting what they asked for / and or / an option of what to do....but for those of us who pre-payed for switches, caps, boards plates and components have see no updates.
Can you please comment on what Kin25 has to say about those orders ?
Thank you,
Blackkat

Suspect poor Kin is paying out of his own income for all these refunds. Hence for most here, it's till his next pay check till you get your money back.
Good thing he actually is paying back all the refunds out of his own pocket hence you have to be patient. Remember he's taking away money form his own family here to finish this Group Buy off.
Much respect for him doing this because some other pieces of excrement, that shall ALWAYS be named here on Geekhack - "IvanIvanovich" just fled with the money with no excuses given. Go figure, a Korean is far more honest/decent than this used, tampon-thieving American.

Does anyone know what resistors are needed for this PCB? Thanks!
To a certain extent, it's your choice. What LEDs are you running?

Why don't you PM him directly instead of posting here, wouldn't talking straight to the person be more productive?

Maybe... In March..
A few more... Tx75
Txcp r2

Actually, you're just in time. That quote is taken form the artisan section in the TX-75 thread by Kin 25. I have a link to thread below. Check out the last few pages of thread for more info.

I am using the PCB without the RGB leds. Anyone has any idea how I may configure on Jigon?
I have updated the firmware to the latest one, used the latest jigon.
When I plugged in, I held ESC and tried to connect the keyboard via Jigon however it says "connection fail"
I am still able to type etc

I lost the center diffuser much like acrylic.
I need your help here, where is the diffuser seller or can you send the design to my email?
Thx
