guys read carefully the post on GH ... It was originally mentioned about 5% fee ... Alex just didn’t know how to send invoice

Hmm, I ignorantly paid the paypal fee (5% - $14.75 USD).

I guess I've overpaid then? Any chance of getting that back?

This is not an overpayment. Alex wrote that it includes + 5% paypal .. but since he had experience with PayPal, he was not the first 20 to order ... and right now they have problems ... but everyone will pay + 5% fee playpla

Now I'm even more confused. I received an updated invoice from you that does not include the 5% PayPal fee, but now you're saying there's supposed to be a fee. Which is it?

SantiGo · « **Reply #103 on:** Sun, 22 March 2020, 19:51:52 »

He simply included the fee already in the price of the goods .. but it should be done differently since the 5% commission is automatically calculated by the paypal itself... he gave me the price already from the financial institution and I included for some lots another 5% .. that's why it happened but we are correcting the invoices .. excuse me for misunderstanding

Price (inclusive of PayPal fee):
$260 for case + PCB and black POM plate (Alpha or Beta) + fasteners
$65 for extra PCB and plate (Alpha or Beta) + fasteners

Shipping (inclusive of PayPal fee):
$37 worldwide with track (from Ukraine)

If you received or settled an invoice with a fee of a large amount, inform. This will be fixed.

I really annoyed I missed this, is there a waiting list or similar I could join or if you had a spare in production? Thanks in advance

DonaldPShimoda · « **Reply #108 on:** Fri, 27 March 2020, 21:35:30 »

Geez, I'm also bummed I missed this. The left-hand numpad is killer.

If there's no chance of getting in now, I'd also love to get on a waitlist for any extras! 😬

Will there be some form of ESD protection on the PCB? I'd hate to fry mine.

PCB protected from ESD with USBLC6-2SC6 chip

This might be stupid question, but with this keyboard, if I were to order keycap set, which style/configuration should I order to make them all line up nicely ie no mismatching rows?

You'll need the base kit of whatever set you're ordering, plus a 40's kit (since this is a 40% layout), and possibly a numpad kit (depending on if the base kit includes numpad keycaps or not). For example, GMK sets include the numpad in the base kit, but KAT sets have a separate numpad kit.

Damn I can see lots of wasted keycaps lol

Try KAT sets, they have much more granular kits.

I've also bought the Beta and the kits I have been looking at are usually alphas, 40s, and spacebars as well as maybe the numpad kit if it's not part of the base kit.

I picked up Space Cadet & plan to check, Primekeyboards too; TKC's keysets are typically great for this keyboard format. Just about all Keyreative keysets (KAM & KAT) provide inexpensive support for this MKB profile type too.

Yep thanks for this, will see what my options are. Anyone has decided what set they would like to pair with this keyboard?

Please share with us which kits you end up getting so that we can use as reference as well..

William_S_Jones · « **Reply #125 on:** Thu, 30 April 2020, 19:59:17 »

Numpad, 40s mods (twice have more than 1 40% mkb), blue alphas, gray alphas), accents...
the accents were optional; if you want the standard 6.25 spacebar, you'll need the spacebar kit.

Nice, I'm hoping I can pick up 2 40s & both alpha kits for KAT Drifter too. I went with Titanium blue too. I plan to use KAT Space Cadet on my Lyra.

Hello!

Despite all of the difficulties (mainly with the delivery delays due to the global pandemic), we are doing our best to make Lyra a reality. Delivery times have to be rescheduled.

We have tested the sample PCBs and fixed some minor mistakes. The whole PCB batch should be shipped out in a couple of days.

Cases and plates have been put into production.

We estimate that the shipping process for Lyras should start at the beginning of September.

Once again, we are really sorry for the delays and any inconvenience this could have caused.

All the best,
Team Lyra

Djmm · « **Reply #145 on:** Fri, 21 August 2020, 21:12:34 »

Any updates on the keyboard? For some reason I got notification from Paypal saying keyboard was shipped back in July. I guess just ignore that?

alexbarb · « **Reply #146 on:** Mon, 14 September 2020, 07:03:28 »

Hi everyone.

Unfortunatly, the shipment schedule is shifted once again due to the packages with PCBs are stuck in Poland. We are working closely with the both factory and the shiping forwarder to solve this delay. We are monitoring the situation. You can see the screenshots of our conversations with the factory representative regarding the issue down below.

We are deeply sorry for all the trouble this delay might have caused you.

On the bright side, however, the cases and the plates are ready. We will share the photos of them in the coming days.

Last update was in a freaking SEPTEMBER! No cases were shown despite the fact they said "in the coming days"... More like in the coming months... or even more like never!

Because, apparently, this:

They've been posting photos in the Discord. I do think the updates should be posted here as well, but they're definitely not ghosting us.

I've attached screenshots of the most recent photos they've posted there (the last one is cobalt), and they've said the photos of the rest of the colors will be posted in the next few days.
