Latest updates:

Plate and PCBs are in stock and ready for purchase!

Nardo Grey Raffle Form I have 7 Nardo Grey in stock. This form will stay open until Monday, invoice will be sent at random, and you will have 24 hours to check out. Orders will be shipped by the deadline.

GB is 40% fulfilled! I expect all orders to be fulfilled by June 8.

International buyers: I will be sending you all an email this weekend regarding shipping. DHL raised my rates 300% so I am unable to ship DHL for what you were charged. I will send all international buyers an email this weekend to explain the situation better and tell you what that plan / options are. Sorry for the inconvenience, Im pretty upset about this situation. A shipment that used to cost me $38 now costs over $120.


TKC1800 has started shipping! The first dozen is going out today. I expect to ship 25-30 per day from here out. Should be completed by middle of next week.
Testing went smoothly, no issues.
We have a few plates and PCBs left in stock. However, orders are going to freeze until I get everything shipped out so that I can ensure everyone gets what they ordered and we have no mix ups.
When orders open back up we will have a few restocks and some new colors. That Nardo Grey is looking mighty good!

Please excuse this transitionary time. I have moved out of my large office and into my basement to save on expenses as my wife an I recently opened a new business. I hope to still provide the level of service and quality of products you have come to expect from TKC. This buy is complicated and is going to take a little longer to ship than say, a GMK set.

190580-0
UPDATE 3/14/2018 
We currently have remaining in stock: (As of 3/14/2018)

Color Interest Check Form 
If youre interested in a kit, and were out of stock or its a color we havent made yet, please let us know using this form!   
 
The Waitlist form is now closed. As cases come back from the paint shop I will contact those who filled it out. You will have 48 hours to respond and then your spot will go to the next person in line.

On the other hand

The PCB & PLATE ARE AVAILABLE

190576-1190578-2

]The G80-1800 compatible QMK PCB is available during the GB and will remain open for a few weeks. We will stock the PCBs once they arrive. This is probably the best PCB for tinkering every released. Check out the product page!

Thanks for looking!

Do you have pictures of all the plate colors?

Digging through the pictures on the site I found, Orange, Purple, Black & Grey. I could not find Green, Cyan, or Red. Can you post some pictures here or on the site of them?

No, some of the plates arent made yet. Im going to pantone match them. So Cyan will be close match to the Dolch PAC logo, and green will be close to GKM AE green.

Hope that helps.

Is the upcoming color Honda Sonic blue pearl or Sonic gray pearl? There is a difference. The blue is an intense ultramarine blue and the gray is, well, gray.

Do you have a colour sample of the Commando Green? (Did attempt to google and find it.. no success.) As you're aware, I'm waiting to order some parts too, just wanted to check the colour is what I was hoping :D

What are those "minor imperfections" on a Matte Blue? Is it possible to order RGB LEDs or which ones should we source in case it's not?
Have you tested both underglow and in-switch LEDs together, is USB power enough? I'm asking this cause I've most likely burned UK78 using both in-switch and RGB leds and power consumption of 1800 should be more than UK78 one. I'm considering getting matte blue or Tanzanite blue for Laser.
What about color samples for plates?

I dont, the color was called out in the PPG book at the shop as "Commando Green". Turns out, its called "Olive Green" and its a Jeep color. It looks like this

What about color samples for plates?

Minor imperfections: Paint nibs. Small dust particles in the clear coat. In the matte colors we cannot wet sand / buff these out, so occasionally we are left with some small nibs.

RGBs: If installed in the TKC1800 case you wont see them. The pads were put on the PCB for a future design, or for use in an existing 1800 aluminum case, you know the one. The part number is WS2812B for the RGBs

Power consumption: The design we have is "dumb" in that it doesn't current limit. Unlike a BootMapper board it will allow for full tilt LEDs and RGBs.

Matte Blue and Tanzanite sold out pretty quickly. You'll have to join the waitlist if you want one of those colors, sorry.

The other plate colors I do not have color samples. The green will closely match GMK AE green (Terminal) and the cyan will match the Dolch logo color.

I think the main confusion was during TX1800 kin had said that the MX1800 PCB was different than the TX1800 pcb.  I purchased mine as a kit, so never got to compare the two.  Im sure somebody has the proper information somewhere, but i've personally never seen a clear answer to the question.

Hello, I'm a Swedish guy new to this hobby and this forum. I need a nudge in the right direction, me and a friend of mine plans on putting tohether our first custom kits together and I want my kit to have this 1800-layout so I'd like to order this kit. But I'm uncertain how to get my hands on a PCB that works for the nordic layout. Is that something I can order here or how does that work?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks in advance!

This PCB, as well as most other PCBs available with 95%+ of group buys, are perfectly fit for ISO-SE and other Nordic ISO layouts. They're fully programmable.



As you can see here, ISO (enter/split left shift) are supported, you just have to solder it in that way. Then after that, just program the PCB keys to do what you want them to do and get a keycap set that includes a NORDE kit. If you touch type you don't even need the NORDE caps, can just roll with regular ANSI (sans enter/split shift of course) or UK ISO which would make your life a lot easier when procuring custom sets.

Got an email today from TKC. It stated that there were further delays during the manufacturing of the boards and plates. New expected ship date is the end of May. Here is a copy of the mailer I got:

I wanted to personally send everyone who participated an email to give a quick update to the buy. Thank you for joining and trusting me to provide you with a kick-ass product.
The PCBs and Plates were ordered and paid in full back in March. I spoke to both factories this week and they both said expected shipment date is around May 14. I would expect everything to be in house and shipped out by the end of this month. I apologize for the delays. They have alot of holidays in China, and I sometimes wonder if they forget about them when quoting lead times!

New case shipments are coming in weekly. Currently we have some B stock kits in stock, Matte Orange and Matte Green. Soon to have some Cocaine White. Next off the press is another run of Tanzanite Blue!
TL;DR Expect to have your kit by end of May!

Yeah I got the email.  I was wondering what holidays are impacting the production.  I thought everyone said CNY was like THE only holiday for manu. breaks in CN.  Guess not /shrug

The problem stemmed from placing an order from a manufacturer who then had CNY, and when they came back they ghosted TKC and he had to find a new manufacturer. All in all it's not THAT late considering the time of year and challenges they've had.

Email I got yesterday stated the following:


Good news! The PCBs and Plates have shipped from the factories! The parts should be in my possession by Friday. I plan to test a random bunch of PCBs and start fulfillment after the Memorial Day holiday weekend pending no issues. This buy will take a little longer to fulfill than a keyset buy, so expect orders to start going out the door all of next week. Orders will be shipped in the order they were placed.

New colors coming next week, and some restocks.
